Review, Review, Review -I will upload stories/chapters faster with the motivation!
In this chapter, Bella confronts Jacob at La Push. I hope you like it.
This chapter includes a very angry Bella, and may not be the perfect thing for Jacob Lovers- but they should still like it.
I honestly didn't understand how, but my truck was in the Cullen's giant garage, with the keys in the ignition. I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I drove toward La Push. Edward was all alone, and he was hurting, all because of me being selfish. Alice acted like she hated me, which she probably did.
I drove as fast as I could, and when I got there, I remained in the car for what seemed like hours. I was trying to put some sense into the words I had to tell him. I saw his huge body step out of the familiar too small house. He had a smile on his face. It was not my smile. It wasn't even close.
"Bella?" Jacob yelled from across the yard.
I glared at him. The more I looked at his somewhat innocent face; I questioned myself about how I could have ever trusted him. He hurt the one person I loved more than anything. How dare he claim that he loved me? The act in the clearing was not an act of love. It was pure blasphemy, and I was pretty sure he knew that too.
He got a confused look on his face as he jogged toward me. "Hey! Are you okay? You look…mad? Did he do-"
"Shut up, Jacob!" I yelled, stalking forward. He looked surprised.
"What? What did I do?" he questioned me.
"You know exactly what you did!" I snarled.
The anger was more real than I thought possible. How could he do this! What if Edward had been killed? What would've happened then?
"Are you seriously mad at me Bells?" He laughed. That made me angrier.
"Jake. I have one question for you. Then I am leaving. I am going to go back to see my fiancé,"
He shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, "It's not that simple. We still have to talk about us,"
That threw me off the edge.
"Us?" I screamed, "Shut up!"
I walked closer to him. My hands were fisted, but I knew better than to punch him.
"Bella! What is your problem?"
"How could you?" I asked brokenly. The anger fading into helplessness. "I thought you said that you loved me,"
Jacob looked at me like I was crazy. He was still lying to me, "What did I do?"
I shook my head, "Please, Jacob. Just admit. Maybe I won't be as mad at you,"
Jacob looked at the ground and chuckled once, "Fine, okay? But we both know why I did it. It actually wasn't on purpose, I just happened to be thinking about you, and then the kiss came up, it wasn't- "
"Stop. Just stop!" I yelled louder this time. "We both know you did it on purpose. That is sure as hell not an act of love,"
He shook his head, "Bella, I can guarantee that I love you more than that rotten, good for n-"
"Stop!" I shrieked. "You don't know a thing about my perfect, amazing Edward. He would never, ever do anything like that!"
I think it was starting to sink into Jacob that maybe he didn't love me like he claimed.
"I am going to leave now. With or without a sincere apology. I am never coming back! I hate you!" I yelled angrily.
I turned around and stomped to my car. I got in and turned the key.
"Wait!" he yelled. I didn't look at him. "Bella! Please. You don't understand!"
I opened the window just enough so he could hear me, but I locked all the doors.
"No, Jacob Black, you don't understand. You almost killed him! Do not understand that? How could you do something like that to me? Some friend you were, "I sneered, making the last word stand out, "There is no way for you to ever earn my trust love or friendship back. You can try for the rest of your life and I will never forgive you for this,"
I had turned numb. I got in my truck and tried to drive. I had only made it a few miles out of La Push when driving became impossible. I was caught up in the guilt and pain of everything I had done in the past two years.
I pulled over to the shoulder, sobbing over the steering wheel, surely Alice – Then I thought again. No, Alice would not send anyone to help me. She didn't feel anything toward me. No sisterly love or best friend connections. All she thought of me was a cheater who betrayed her favorite brother. A lost friend who she put all her trust into, just to throw it away like it was nothing. I cried harder. I literally lost count of all the people I have hurt. How in the world did Edward forgive me? He was probably deathly afraid right now. Not able to move, and probably mad at me. I told him I wouldn't leave, and then I just walked out the door. I thought I was doing it for him. But the only thing he asked from me was to stay with him. To not leave him. I did exactly that.
It was hours later. I cried and cried until I heard something. My mind instantly thought of Victoria, but then I remembered that Edward had saved me from her. A sob came out of my chest. The passenger door opened and I gave a yelp. It was Esme.
"Es-es-esme!" I cried, scooting over to her.
She held me tight and rocked me slightly.
"Bella, Bella, shhh, you're okay," She tried to soothe me.
I shook my head, "No! It's not! You don't understand what I-"
She cut me off, "Yes, sweetie, we do. Alice…told us. Bella, I understand why you did it. He was going to go down there in rage and get hurt. But sometimes you need to prioritize, dear."
She wasn't making any sense right now. Edward has always been my first priority. As I was his.
"Edward knows why too, but he also thinks you love Jacob, Bella. He thinks that you love him more. It terrifies him to be alone, especially now that he knows what it's like to be loved by someone other than his family."
I was confused now. I cried hard and barely got out the words, "Edward said he forgave me. Was he lying?"
Esme smiled a bit at that. Her smile changed. She was not the always- loving mother in my life anymore. She had her doubts about me too. Another to the list .
"No. He meant it. If you haven't noticed, dear, Edward is very…insecure. He tries to act strong, and most of the time, he it. It's just that sometimes; he doesn't know what to do. Right now, for example. He thinks that you are going to stay in La Push. I know that's not true… Do you want to talk about that?"
I shook my head as I sobbed against her cold body, "N-no. I told him I was done. He almost killed the one thing I need in my life and…" I trailed off, unable to finish. The guilt was crushing me down.
"I do get it, Bella. I think we all feel a little bit hurt about your actions, to be honest. Maybe a bit betrayed…"
"I am so sorry!" I cried, "I didn't mean for all this to happen. I lost my best friend-which isn't the bad part. I guess I have to be happy about that- because he almost made me lose my fiancé, and now my new family hates me, my best girlfriend and my basically sister!" I cried harder, "How on earth am I supposed to get everything back. Edward should hate me. He probably does, he just won't admit it!"
Esme denied it, "No, sweetie. He loves you more than anything. I can assure you that. Now, before we get you home, I do have to ask you one question. I guess Alice hadn't felt the need to share it, and Edward hasn't had the…time, "she paused and looked me in the eye with a small smile, "You are Edward are engaged?"
I smiled at that too. Maybe two nights ago, I would have cringed, but I would never feel that way again. I wanted to be his. I wanted him to be mine. Marriage was the only thing I had to hold onto right now.
Review, Review, Review! I love getting your advice and opinions- and yes- I do actually use the ideas you give me!
A couple questions for you-
-Do you think I should ever write a chapter where Jacob and Bella work it out? Or just leave it like that? (Well it will be like that for a while- we have to get back to Edward and the Cullen's!)
- Did I do a good job on showing Bella's emotions? It was a little bit hard to do that.
- Ideas for future chapters?
Thanks for all the support! I really liked writing this chapter and hope you like reading it!
