Hey guys. Sorry for the long wait. I really wasn't sure how to play out this chapter. But here it is. I know that I said that this chapter should be the last one, but I decided that there will be this one and another one. That should be the end. So I hope you like it and I hope you review. Thanks!
I wouldn't change a thing chapter 21
Jacob's POV
"Do you want me to sign it?" Bailey gave me an odd look, then walked away from me, towards the entrance of Sam and Emily's house. She had to go and her wrist cast and she didn't like it. She said that it was itchy, hot and she wanted it off. I felt bad so I tried to cheer her up, but it didn't work. She just got even more infuriated with me.
"Hey she's back!" Jared ran out, picked Bailey up and spun her around. She clutched her wrist to her chest and pouted.
"It itches." Jared laughed, then he threw his arm around her shoulder and led her inside the house.
"There she is! The amazing Bailey! She survives a newborn attack! Congrats!" I smiled, and Leah rolled her eyes and stormed out of the house. Bailey looked out after her, then she turned around and walked out of the house. I went to follow her, when Emily stopped me.
"Let them talk Jake." I nodded and sat down at the table, still thinking about Bailey.
Bailey's POV
I followed Leah down to the beach, but I felt nervous. I mean...What if she killed me? I saw her standing by the water clenching, and unclenching her fists. I sighed and took a deep breath. Here I go.
"Leah?" She turned around and she shot me a nasty glare before turning back to the water.
"Leah I know what you're going through. You may think that I don't, but I do. But what you don't know is how it feels to be Emily. What it feels like to be me." Leah turned around and she crossed her arms over her chest waiting for me to keep talking.
"You know what it's like to lose your boyfriend, your best friend. But you don't how WE feel. You may think that we're happy about 'getting the guy' but we're not. We have to live with the guilt of hurting our best friends, our cousins, and our family. That is something that you will never understand because you won't let yourself open up to Emily again and talk it out. Bella and I are going to talk it out and we are going to fix it. It takes a really strong person to do that." Leah just stared at me. She didn't say anything.
I looked at her, scoffed and went to walk away when a hot hand grabbed my arm. I turned around to look at her and I saw that she wasn't full on scowling; she just had a little scowl.
"I know that you want things to be better between, Sam and Emily and I, but it won't be for a while. It's not because of you, it's because of me. I'm not ready to forgive them. I don't when I will be but I'm not now. But it has nothing to do with you. I'm glad that you and Bella worked it out, honestly I am." I smiled and Leah let go of my arm and she walked away from me. She walked into the tree line, and I assumed that she had phased.
"That could've gone better. At least I know she's feeling though. I guess..." I shook my head and I walked back into Emily's house to see all the guys shoving food into their mouths. I grimaced lightly and took a seat beside Jake.
"Charming. All of you. Really, you've got great eating manners." I heard Kim and Emily giggle, and a few of the guys looked guilty. I rolled my eyes and leaned back in my chair and took deep breaths. This has all been crazy, a crazy...experience.
"When do you have to be back bailey?" I smiled up at Jake and bit my lip while thinking.
"Well Edward's coming over to talk to Charlie and then Bella and him are going back to his house...Bella wants me to be there too...so...in about an hour or so." Jake looked down at me, sadly.
"Can't you just miss it?" I shook my head and he sighed and then he pushed his chair away and grabbed my hand.
"Can we go for a walk?" I nodded and he gently pulled me up and led me out the door. Once we were outside, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to him.
"I'm sorry that that happened to you. I wish that I could've..." I pulled away from Jake and I stopped him. I looked up at him and shook my head.
"You did the best that you could do. It's only a broken wrist. He didn't change me or bite me. Not like Bella. I'm fine Jacob. I swear." He pulled me into a tight hug, and kissed my forehead.
"Never again. I will never let anyone even come close to hurting you ever again. I promise on my life." I smiled and hugged me back, and nodded.
"I love you Jacob Black." Jake pulled away from me and he looked down at me, into my eyes, and smiled widely.
"Marry me Bailey." I blinked twice before I smiled gently.
"Jake I don't want to be asked this way." He chuckled and he wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Yeah I guess you want some romantic thing huh?" I smiled and looked up at him.
"Yeah but can you blame me? I mean I am a girl." Jake got a serious look on his face and then he looked down at me again. He leaned down and he pressed his lips to mine in a needy, rushed sort of way. Once he pulled away, I bit my lip and started to blush.
"You are my girl." I giggled and pulled on his hand lightly.
"Come on. We're supposed to be going on a walk." Jake rolled his eyes but he ended up following me anyway.
Bella's POV
I was nervous to bring Edward to talk to Charlie. I knew that he didn't like Edward but I knew that he liked Carlisle and Alice. I thought that maybe he might start to like Edward again if they sat down and talked. I would've invited Edward over for dinner except for the fact that he doesn't eat and my dad would surely know that something was up. Plus Bailey was over at Sam and Emily's and Emily and Kim would feed her. She couldn't leave until she did.
"What are you thinking Bella?" I looked over at Edward and smiled lightly.
"It must get frustrating not being able to hear what I'm thinking huh?" Edward smiled and kissed my temple and smiled.
"It's refreshing and frustrating." I smiled and leaned against Edward comfortably. We were at his house until it was time to go back to my house.
"Things are going to be different from now on Bella." I looked up at Edward oddly, and he smiled softly.
"In a good way. Things will be different in a good way." I smiled and leaned against Edward again. I couldn't wait. I just wanted things to be calm from now on.
"Bella, when is Bailey going to come over again?" I smiled at Alice and sat up a bit.
"Bailey says that Jake needs to spend more time with me, she's trying not to get into the whole Sam-Emily-Leah situation, so sometime me and Jake are going to hang out. I'd imagine that she'd want to come over here." Alice smiled widely, and she walked over to me and Edward and she sat down beside me, forcing Edward to move over.
"Alice..." She turned towards Edward and smiled shyly.
"Just one minute Edward." Alice then turned back to me and she smiled brightly.
"Don't tell Rosalie that I told you this because she'll kill me, but she's kind of taken a liking to Bailey." I looked at Alice to see if she was serious or not, which she was.
"Rosalie likes you, most definitely, and now she's taking a liking to Bailey. Must be something about you Swan girls." I smiled at Alice and she giggled and stood up.
"It is almost time to go and I have to go and start making plans for..." Alice stopped when Edward gave her a stern look. Alice then shook her head, giggled and started to walk backwards.
"Never mind Bella. Have fun." I smiled and shook my head. I looked up at Edward and he smiled down at me, then grabbed my hand and pulled me up lightly. He kissed my hand, then he looked at the clock.
"It's time to go." I nodded and took a deep breath before following Edward out the door.
Bailey's POV
"If I should die before I wake it's because you took my breath away. Losing you is like living in a world with no air." I stopped singing when I heard Charlie calling my name. I turned off the music and I opened my door and walked to the stairs.
"Bella and Edward are here." I took a deep breath and smiled slightly. Here goes everything.
"I'll be right down." I quickly ran back into my room and took off my sweats and pulled on a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I ran downstairs, almost tripped, and then walked into the living room as calmly as I could.
"Hello Bailey." I rolled my eyes at Edward and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Edward! Seriously! You got to stop saying things so formal like. Relax and talk like a teenager." Bella giggled and covered her mouth when she saw Edward and Charlie's faces.
"What? He should." Bella giggled even more before she calmed down and smiled at me. I looked at Charlie, then Edward, then Bella. Something was going on. I just didn't know what.
"I have something to tell you Bella." Bella looked at Charlie then at me. I shrugged and she turned her attention back towards Charlie.
"Your mom is going to come up to Forks for a couple days. She wanted to meet Edward." Bella looked at me and I saw that her eyes widened a little.
"Didn't she meet him when I was in the hospital?" Charlie nodded, and Bella gave me a confused look.
"She wanted to meet him, officially." Bella nodded and then she looked at me, and then turned to look at Edward.
"That'll be great." Edward smiled down at Bella, reassuringly. I smiled when I saw Bella's face light up.
"Yeah dad, that'll be great." I smiled and then I heard the door ring. I stood up and walked over to the door and opened it. I saw Embry standing outside the door, looking a little panicked.
"Bailey, you have to come with me, something happened to Jacob."
