Chapter 11: Destroyed Moments
(Jake's POV)
It was summer and I was playing with Bella in my backyard. We had just filled a whole bunch of water balloons and planned this day for several hours earlier. As we finished, I decided I was going invite Rachel, Rebecca, Billy, and Charlie to play with us. They all said sure and I gave them each a map of where the water balloons were located in the forest behind our house.
Before they reached the forests edge, Bella and I hid behind a bush with a pile of balloons. We went along with our plan as discussed and pelted them, causing a lot of curses and running for the trees. They were following the map which was perfect and planned as well. Before the game, Bella hid all the water balloons in the closet in the house. When no one was watching, I ran my scrawny eleven-year-old butt into the house to receive the bucket of balloons. I had to check to made sure the coast was clear; it was all good.
Running to the same bush we used to be hiding, I found Bella wasn't there anymore. That was never part of the plan. When I looked around, I heard a faint whisper and found Bella was at a bush twenty feet ahead. I rushed over there, knowing the others will find out there wasn't any balloons in the spots marked on the map, and sat down quickly. When a person was in the line of sight, we pitched a balloon at them, occasionally missing but on purpose.
After twenty minutes of running around in the forest, they started to figure out what was up and we could tell by the way they were spreading out and heading towards the house. I never really knew what they were doing until Bella said so. At that point, I lost track of what I was doing and both of my sisters came up behind us and took us into the living room. Both of our dads were waiting inside and there were towels on the couch so we wouldn't ruin it. Rachel and Rebecca sat down with both of us on their laps and held us in a bear lock.
"So, that was a nice plan out there. What did you plan to do with all those balloons?" My dad interrogated.
"If you don't answer, you'll get tickled…The both of you." Rebecca threatened.
"Or if you try to run." Rachel added because Bella was squirming in her grasp.
"What was that plan out there? Remember, torturous, breath-taking tickles if you don't answer!" Charlie said, extending his arms out in a tickling motion.
Neither of us said anything for a couple of minutes until Rachel and Rebecca started tickling us. I held my ground and still didn't say anything but I was worried about Bella. She was squirming a lot and she hates it when anyone tickles her. Finally, she had had enough.
"OK! OK! I'll spill the beans!" Rachel and Rebecca lay off of the tickling while we both took gasps of air. Once we had our breath back, Bella finally spoke. "We wanted you guys to go to the spots on the map where the balloons were so we could soak you guys. We gave you guys each a separate map to where the balloons were and once you all were at the areas, we would have run through and got you guys with the remainder of the balloons but that didn't work out."
They all started laughing at once. I got up off of Rebecca's lap and Bella did the same. We gave each other a funny look before we joined in and started laughing too.
"We heard you two when you were talking about it so we decided to tell the others." Rachel and Rebecca said.
I gave Bella the signaling look and we both attacked all of them at once, tickling out way through. "This was part of our master plan too!" I yelled over the laughs. Pretty soon, we all stopped and were laughing all together.
When I woke up, I saw Bella over me, watching to see if I would woke up soon, and behind her there was fighting going on. This fighting wasn't the usual yelling-in-each-other's-face fighting but it was bloodsucker/werewolf fighting. I got up quickly only to be pushed down by Bella.
"No! You have to let me fight! Kat… Where is she?" I sat up and Bella didn't compete with me this time.
"Carlisle and Esme took her to the house. Are you all right?" She sounded really worried. She looked back and winced when she saw they were still fighting.
"Which house? She's going to freak if they brought her to the leech's house. You know that don't you?" I ignored her second question knowing that I'm fine. "Are those two vamps still alive?"
"Yea… I think. I can't really tell because it's all supernatural but you can so why can't you tell me?" Bella said, winking and lightly pushing my shoulder.
I looked over at the fight, trying to make sense of the battle. "Are your vamps fighting too?"
She scowled at me. "Yea, they are." She stated simply, still giving me an evil eye for what I called her 'family'.
I stared at her back. "Yea, they are still alive, but barely holding onto their lives." She smiled but I didn't give her a chance to talk. "You know, when I was asleep, I had a dream about that summer when you came out here. We filled all those balloons with water and got caught in our plan remember?"
When I brought it up, she stopped smiling. She already knew where this was going. "Jake, I don't really want to talk about-"
I cut her off again, determined to get this out. "What happened to that promise you made? You still remember because I can see it in your eyes. You promised you wouldn't leave my side and we would have more of those moments right? Well, we have never had another one like that. They always ended up being fights. So what happened to those days when it was so care-free to hang out? Oh, wait, I know. You chose to date a leech and now you're so selfish that you can't see what has happened to your best friend. He and his family turned me into this." I stood up and pointed to myself, now a shaky figure.
She stood up and started coming towards me. "How is this my fault? He's not the one who turned you into this; it was your ancestry. It would have happened at one point. I am not selfish! I never wanted this!" She spread her arms out and shook them side to side a little. "I didn't want the fighting for me but you and the Cullens have turned me into a territorial issue. So, yes, blame me if it makes you feel better." She poked my chest after each word, emphasizing her sentence.
This topic has always made Bella cry but she held her tears in and now she looked like she would burst at any moment. At this point, the fighting has stopped, the vamps were dead, and Edward rushed over to take Bella away from me because I was shaking so hard. I just stood there, staring at where Bella used to be standing.
Gathering my thoughts together in my head, I decided against going after Edward again and ran towards the deepest part of the forest. Is it all good if I go to your stinky house to pick up Kat? I sent towards Edward and looked back to see that he nodded and I turned back, phasing automatically.
Once I was at the Cullens' house, I phased back and went inside, knowing the two were expecting me. Esme was right there at the door to greet me. "Hello, Jacob. Kat is over here." She led me towards the spacious living room where Kat was watching TV.
"Isn't there anything else on that you can watch?" I chuckled, noticed she was watching Romeo and Juliet.
She looked back at me and smiled. "No, not really. How can you stand the smell in here?" She fanned her nose, throwing a playful glance at Esme who knew she was playing around.
"Let's just say I've had two years of experience hunting vamps and coming here a lot." I sat down by her, taking her hand. She scooted closer towards me and held my hand with both of hers.
"Why do you come here a lot?" She asked, scrutinizing me.
I held my hands up to defend myself from her pointed look. "Hey! I…uh… only come down here to strategize and stuff." Thankfully, she bought that and gazed back at the television. Soon, I'm going to have to tell her about Bella. Maybe.
After an hour or so, the others came back. "Hey Lovebirds! What are you two still doing here?" Emmett chimed.
"She just wanted to finish this movie." I glanced at Bella, who was holding onto Edward's arm, looking at Kat. I looked back at Kat. "Hey Kat. Let's go home and maybe we can borrow this from Esme." I got up and offered my other hand to Kat so she can get up.
"No thanks. I already know what happens." She took my other hand and looked at Bella. "Um, hello. May I ask why you are staring at me?" She chuckled nervously while Bella looked away.
"Sorry." She went into the kitchen, red-faced, while Edward was trailing behind her. I turned my gaze back to Kat who was still staring towards to kitchen.
"Is she human?" She quietly asked.
"Yea, she is." I slowly walked ahead, giving Kat the hint. "Come on."
"Wait… She's dating that leech? How does that work? I'm surprised she hasn't gotten bit yet." She laughed.
"Just come on before you get hurt." I said trudging her towards the front door just as Bella came out of the kitchen.
"You haven't told her who I am yet?" She yelled at me. She ran towards us and I ran Kat out the door before Bella could grab her.
I turned, blocking the door so Bella couldn't get her. She had this incredulous look in her eyes like she's gone crazy. "Hey! I just imprinted on her like two days ago! You shouldn't expect me to tell her my life story in a short amount of time, especially with what has been going on." She didn't let up and I looked in towards the house and none of the vamps seemed to be doing anything about it. "Hey Eddy! Come get your crazy, out of control girlfriend!" I called.
Bella broke through my shield and rushed over to Kat who was standing there, confused.
(Kat's POV)
When Bella broke through Jake's "wall", I thought she was going to kill me or something. "Did you imprint him back?" She yelled, grabbing onto my shoulders.
Jake stopped in his tracks and stood waiting for my answer. "Yea, I did." She gasped but didn't let go of me. "Who are you exactly?"
"I'm Bella. Jake used to love me before you came around. We used to hang out all the time before Edward and his family showed up but now we aren't as young as we used to be. Since you're his imprint, he's not going to hang out with me anymore. I will always hate you for taking him away from me but I wish you two a happy, supernatural family." With that, she let go of my shoulders and gave me a slap in the face.
I stumbled back and stood straight up again, watching her go to Edward's side before I ran towards her and grabbed her arm. "Why do you think you can just slap me and think you can make a dramatic exit like this?" I growled, shaking now.
"What do you mean? This is not dramatic." She chuckled and I saw that look in her eyes coming back. She was selfish just like I saw in Jake's mind.
I was just about to slap her like she did with me when Jake pulled me back. "I said in the house come on before you get yourself hurt and now look what you're doing." He snapped at me, venom dripping out of his words. I gasped and looked at him, seeing that it was clear on his face he still loved her.
Before he realized his slip, I glanced at Bella who was being held back by Edward, and I ran towards the trees, not wanting to listen to his sorry pleas.
