Chapter 33- Summertime Sadness
"Edward." I paused as I stared into his black eyes. "You have to eat." "I will not leave you alone." Edward answered stubbornly. I sighed unable to contain my anger. "If you don't feed then I'm in danger." I blurted out. Edward cocked his head to the side and stared into my eyes. "Bella. Nothing you say is going to change my mind." "Your so selfish!" I shouted.
Edward grabbed my arms in one movement as he held me firmly. "I am doing this to protect you." "I know. But it doesn't do us any good if your weak." I pleaded. "Carlisle said in another two days your blood will be clean." "So now your eager to turn me?" I glared. "Isn't that what you wanted?" Edward shot back. "Yes. But I wanted you to turn me because you wanted forever with me." I confessed. "Bella." He lifted my chin with his finger. "I want to spend an eternity with you at my side." He whispered softly.
I smiled knowing he meant every word. "Let me go with you." I suggested. Edward stepped back as his face grew agitated. "Have you lost your mind?" He gritted through his teeth. I gulped. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frightened you." Edward apologized. "What if you guys rotated? Emmett and Jasper can stay with me." I waited as Edward processed my idea. "Perhaps Emmett and Alice." Edward corrected.
"Jasper was under a trance. It wasn't his fault." I defended. "Besides Jasper knows how to fight due to his past. Aside from you I think their my best bet." I revealed. Edward reluctantly agreed. "I'll have my phone on me. Call me if anything goes wrong." Edward instructed. I nodded. "Keep her safe." Edward told his brothers. "You won't have to worry about her." Emmett smiled as he locked me in a bear hug. Edward snarled as Alice pulled him out the door.
"TV." Emmett shrugged. "Sure." I smiled. We watched TV as I grew anxious. I missed Edward but I knew he had to hunt. I was also worried about Charlie. He had left on his Honeymoon the day after my wedding. I was startled when my pocket vibrated. I pulled out my phone and answered.
*Phone Conversation*
Bella: Hello.
Charlie: Hey kiddo.
Bella: Dad. (I smiled) How are you?
Charlie: Good. Heading back home tomorrow.
Bella: That's great. I've missed you.
Charlie: Me too. How's the marriage life?
Bella: It's only been a week. But it's wonderful. (I giggled).
Charlie: Good. Well I'll see you when I get back.
Bella: Ok. I love you, Dad.
Charlie: Love you too.
I ended the call as I felt slightly at ease. He'd be back tomorrow. But what was I going to do about Julia? My eyes blinked as I fought the sleep that threatened to take me. I smiled when Jasper placed a blanket over me. "Sorry." he whispered. "Jasper. I'm not afraid of you. I know you would never hurt me." I stated. Jasper grinned as he felt the truth of my words. "Thanks, sis." I closed my eyes as I grew more exhausted by the minute.
I opened my eyes when someone kissed my forehead. "Edward." I said still groggy. "Sleep love." he cooed. I kept my eyes closed as I laid on Edward's chest. I felt safe and happy. "I love you." I whispered. "Love you." He kissed my lips softly. I drifted into a peaceful sleep. I gasped as my eyes sprung open. I looked around the dark room. Edward must have carried me to bed. I pulled the covers off and headed downstairs. "Edward?" I called out. I stopped when I reached the kitchen. I scanned the area knowing something was wrong. I grabbed a knife and gripped it tightly.
My eyes grew wide with horror as a pair of hands touched my shoulder. I turned around reflexively ready to use the knife. Emmett chuckled loudly. "Really, Bella? You should put that down before you hurt yourself." I placed the knife down as Emmett pulled me toward the living room. "Where's Edward?" "Carlise and him went to the hospital to get you morphine." "For the transformation." I whispered. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to be one of them. "I want to see Charlie." "I don't know if that's such a good idea." Emmett rubbed his head.
"Let's go." Emmett announced. "Wait. Your coming?" "Yeah. I got orders not to let you out my sight." Emmett stated. "Where are the others?" I asked curiously. "Alice and Jasper went off to run a few errands. Esme and Rosalie are attending to a few important matters." I became suspicious at his lack of revealing anything. I knew I couldn't escape Emmett. I sighed. Emmett smiled as we headed toward his car. "What's wrong with my truck?" "Besides the obvious?" Emmett chuckled.
I stepped inside the red hummer. I fastened my seat belt as Emmett zoomed off. "I see crazy driving runs in the family." I squeezed my eyes shut. My stomach stopped turning as the car came to a halt. "Bella. You can open your eyes." I glared at him. Emmett opened my door helping me out. I looked down seeing my blue satin dress that ended right above my knees. "Bella. You look fine." I smiled in response.
"Bella." Charlie called out. "Dad." I ran toward him and hugged him tightly. Charlie froze in my embrace. "Someone missed me." "Sorry." I pulled away fighting back the tears that wanted to surface. This was probably the last moment I would have with my father. "You look good." Charlie complimented. "Did you enjoy your trip?" Charlie asked. "We rescheduled and got a later date to travel. I wasn't feeling all that well. But I'm better now." I smiled.
"Charlie." Emmett greeted. "Hey." Charlie furrowed his brow in confusion. "Edward is helping Carlisle at the hospital. So Emmett drove me here." I shrugged casually. "Come in." Emmett and I entered as I scanned the house for Julia. "And Julia?" "She's at the hospital. Said she had a few errands to attend to." Charlie revealed. Charlie and I sat in the living room and caught up. Emmett just watched and listend patiently.
"It was great seeing you, Dad." I hugged him as he wrapped his arms around me. "Bells. Is there something you arent telling me?" Charlie asked sincerely. "Why?" "Seems like you're saying good-bye." Charlie said almost certain. I forgot how attentive my father was. "I've just been sensitive since the wedding." I lied. "Love you." "Love you too, kiddo." We headed toward the car as my eyes watered. "Bella. Are you ok?" Emmett asked concerned.
"I'll be fine." I sobbed. The drive back home was quiet. I was grateful Emmett didn't push the subject he gave me the space I needed. "Edward isn't going to like this." My eyes followed Emmett's gaze. "Jacob." I opened the door but Emmett blocked me before I could step out. "Emmett, please I need to say Good-bye." I pleaded. Emmett sighed moving out of my way. "Bella. If you need me well you know what to do." Emmett stared at Jacob as he headed inside. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see you." "You mean to see if I'm still human?" Jacob chuckled darkly.
"Bells. I love you and because I do. I've decided that I'm leaving Forks. "What? Jake, you can't leave because of me. What about the pack?" I walked over not able to hold my tears back this time. "They'll be fine without me." Jacob's big dark eyes held determination. "Your serious." I choked. "I was originally alpha but declined it. I allowed Sam to continue as active Pack master." Jacob confessed.
"Jake. I." I stopped mid sentence. Knowing nothing I said would make him stay. "And your Dad?" "No one has any say so about my life choices except me." Jacob defended. I nodded as tears trickled down my cheeks. "I just wanted to see you for the last time. I hope you live happily ever. I really do." Jacob pressed his lips against my forehead. His warm hands cupped my face. "Look after yourself and Charlie." Jacob stared into my eyes as his eyes watered. "I love you." I whispered. Jacob pulled me into a hug.
I cried into his chest unable to control my emotions. "Don't cry, Bells. This is a new start for the both of us." I pulled myself away allowing my self one last glance at my best friend. "Your always welcomed here." I promised. Jacob gave me a smile that melted my heart. "Bye, Bells." "Good-bye, Jake." He kissed my cheek tenderly. Jacob walked off into the dark night leaving with a piece of me. "How sad." Heidi said sarcastically. My eyes went wide with horror.
Within a blink of an eye Emmett stood in front of me protectively. "Oh how sweet. Brother in law to the rescue." Heidi giggled as two figures appeared behind her. "I believe you've met Felix and Demetri." "Bella!" Jacob shouted as he phased quickly. The huge russet colored wolf stood by Emmett. "This is going to be fun." She smiled synically. Jacob lunged at Heidi as Felix and Demetri attacked Emmett. "Run, Bella!" Emmett shouted. I ran toward the house leaving them behind. I locked the door in a feeble attempt to feel safe.
I reached Edward's room. I touched the bed remembering the first time Edward made love to me. It was amazing and one of the greatest moments of my life. I couldn't give up and allow them to take me from him. I desperately searched the drawers for any type of weapon. I smiled as I grabbed a red lighter. The door slammed opened. I turned around to face the intruder. "Ah, Bella. We meet again." Demetri drank me in as I hid the lighter behind my back. "You look ravishing in blue." My heart pounded while Demetri slowly made his way toward me.
I pressed the safety down on the lighter and lit his sleeves on fire. Demetri screamed as I pushed past him. When I reached the stairs Demetri gripped my hair. "You will pay for that. I was going to do you a favor and kill you quickly. Now I think I'll make you suffer." He kissed my neck forcefully. Demetri released me causing me to fall down the stairs. I whimpered as I tried to stand up. My ankle throbbed with pain. In a flash he stood behind me and dragged me. "Emmett. Jacob." I whispered hoping they were still alive.
Demetri placed his fingers around my neck and lifted me up. "I will enjoy draining every ounce of blood from you." He smirked. "Enough!" Heidi commanded. "She is mine." She hissed. Demetri did not release his grip. "Demetri! Have you forgotten who you serve?" "I do not serve you, Heidi. I serve Aro, Cauis and Marcus. Do not flatter yourself. You are not in their league." Demetri chuckled. Heidi launched herself at him as I fell to the ground.
I crawled away as Heidi and Demetri enaged in a deadly confrontation. "Bells." Jacob whispered. He picked me up and ran out the door. "Emmett went to get Edward and the others. The pack should be here soon." Jacob smiled slightly. I could smell the blood and knew so would the Vampires. "Bells, they got you good." I attempted a smile feeling relieved that Emmett and Jacob were ok. "Tell Edward that I love him." "You'll tell him that yourself. Let's get you out of here." Jacob stood up as I wrapped my weak arms around his neck. He began to sprint as the Cullen's house became distant.
A strong force hit us causing Jacob to lose balance. "Enough of this." Heidi snarled. Jacob phased as Heidi dodged his attacks. Heidi got her arms around him and squeezed tightly. "Stop!" I shouted. The wolf whimpered as he phased back into his human form. "Jake!" I screamed as Heidi crouched ready to attack again. Adreline pumped as it coarsed through my veins. Her legs pushed off the ground as she lunged at Jacob. I blocked him as she tackled me to the ground.
I let out a low yelp as her teeth sinked into the nape of my neck. I could feel my life being drained. My eyes fluttered as she continued. I knew she would kill me but it didn't matter. I saved Jacob. I married Edward and had the pleasure of being his in every way. I got more then I asked for or ever knew I wanted. I would die knowing what love felt like. I sacrificed my life for someone I loved. I would live on through Edward and Jacob. My eyes closed as I felt weak and dizzy. I hit the ground as distant murmurs flooded the dark night.
I smiled weakly feeling a strong pair of arms I had grown familiar with. "Edward. I love you." I was overwhelmed with darkness. "Bella. Stay with me." His sweet velvet voice begged. "Do it now!" Jacob demanded. I slowly faded knowing they were both alive. "I can go now." I whispered as I allowed the darkness to take me.
