No More
Chapter 2
BPOV
I'd been living at Jake's for a month now and having a great time.
We would talk into the wee hours of the mornings on the weekends and he even helped me decide what my major would finally be, I was really good at listening to people and solving problems, so I was going to finish my Criminal Justice degree, which I would have my Master in, and I was applying to the FBI, my dad was nervous for me, but he knew I wanted to be a Profiler, so hopefully it would all work it's self out after graduation.
After about a month and a half of me living there, we started dating, we kind of eased into it.
It started as little kisses before school and when we got home and before bed and then one night after a bad date, he held me and things went a little too far and it felt right and we've been together ever since.
Our fathers were beyond happy.
I thought they were going to plan a wedding right then and there and we had to slow them down and assure them we were just dating, nothing serious.
Jake was graduating a semester before me, due to his courses, so he was working on opening his shop as well with Sam.
Emily and I helped as well, me mostly on the weekends, I had a doubly hard workload with the extra work I had to do to get into the FBI academy.
Jake was helping with the workout part, strength was my weakest point.
Shooting wasn't a problem or self defense, but have me do a chin up or push up and I'm toast.
After Jake graduated, things got strained between us, he was always at the shop and I was always at school.
He's get upset when he'd come home at 7pm and there'd be no dinner on the table.
"Bells, where's my dinner?" he yelled one night.
"I'm guessing in the freezer waiting to be cooked." I replied.
"Fuck! I work all God Damn day, I pay all the fucking bills and you don't do shit!" he yelled at me and threw a plate against the wall.
"Excuse me? I don't do shit? I go to school all day! I have to workout for 4 hours a day! And then come home and do 5 hours worth of home work! Don't tell me I don't do shit all day! Fuck you Black! I'll be gone tomorrow!" I grabbed my books and walked into the guest room and slammed and locked the door.
Sobbing I called my sister.
"Bella, what's up?" Rose asked.
"Up, Can you come help me pack tomorrow? Jake's kicking me out." I sobbed.
"Bells. Shit! Yeah, Emmett and I will be there." she sighed and hung up.
I went to my e-mail and typed a letter to my professors and told them I had food poisoning and wouldn't be in tomorrow.
I then took out my suit cases and packed what I could in them tonight, knowing, Rose would being boxes with her and that I had more stuff out in the living room and in 'our' room.
Jake came to the door and knocked on it… "Bells, I'm sorry, don't go, please. I love you." he pleaded thought the door.
I just ignored him and turned up my iPod.
I finally turned off the light and went to bed, not caring if he was still begging or not.
Emmett and a couple of his buddies moved my stuff, he rented a moving van this time, because I actually had a few things this time.
Jake had actually left for work, he didn't have a choice.
He'd left me a note, saying he wanted to talk to me.
I wrote one back, telling him we'd talk in a few weeks, I said I wanted to be his friend, but as for dating, we were through and not to bother me right away.
I had Emmett put my stuff in storage, except for clothes and things I would need, since I'd be graduating in a few months and I wasn't sure where I was going from here.
"Bells, look I love you like you're my sister, you know that, right?" he said as he sat on the bed next to me.
"Yes, Em, I know that." I sighed.
"O.K. then, just do me one big favor., O.K.?" he smiled.
"What Em?" I asked.
"Don't fucking go back to my cousin! All he's been doing is asking about you!" he grumbled.
"What? Why?" I asked standing up.
"Because he's an ass and he knows you've got a soft spot for him." he sighed again.
"Well, don't worry, not making that mistake again, beside, I'm leaving in a few weeks." I shrugged.
"True. But it's just for 4 weeks for training and then you could be back, right?" he smiled.
"Well, yeah. If I'm lucky." I shrugged.
He patted my shoulder and walked out.
I laid back on my bed and sighed.
It was the day before graduation and I had finally talked with Jake.
We had managed to apologize to each other for everything we said that night and remain friends.
I told him I'd call him while I was at training, when I was allowed and when I knew where I'd be stationed at.
After graduation Emmett and Rose threw a big party for me.
Everyone showed up.
It was awkward having Ben, Jake and Edward all in the same room, wanting my attention.
Finally the night came to an end and I told everyone goodbye, I hugged my dad as he headed up to the guest room and I to the basement.
I was stripping out of my shirt and undoing my bra as I heard a low whistle.
"Damn, I'm going to miss those." it was Edward.
"What are you doing here Edward?" I snapped.
"I wanted to give you a going away present." he smiled and walked over to me.
He took me into his arms and kissed up my neck.
I shoved him away "Look Edward. I still love you, but I'm not doing this, not now, not ever." I pulled my shirt back on and walked to my door and opened it, only to find Ben ready to knock.
"Seriously? Did you all think you were going to get laid tonight?" I asked.
"Uh, no. I forgot my car keys inside." Ben blushed and put his head down.
"Oh, well, go ahead, just be quiet, they're all asleep, Edward is leaving too." I snapped.
"Good Night Edward!" I stressed.
And shortly after Ben came back.
"Thanks Bella, and good luck, I didn't get to tell you earlier." he smiled at me.
"Thanks Ben, that means a lot." and from him it did, he was a sweet guy, always genuine.
The next four weeks were Hell on Earth!
I broke my big toe, twice!
I have a million bruises, I was soaking in Epson salts nightly.
Calling Rose all the time and my dad.
I was telling him of the chatter about possible assignments for the teams I could go to.
They were Texas, Colorado, Alaska, Sacramento or Tacoma.
So naturally I was asking for Tacoma and I think I was the only one in the group asking for Tacoma, so hopefully my chances were good.
My family flew out for FBI graduation as well.
And we didn't know until after where we'd be transferred to.
I was introducing my sister to one of my classmates Garrett, who'd became like a big brother to me and taped my toes so many times during the four weeks it wasn't funny, when they came up and handed us our assignments.
Rose yelled to Emmett and Dad to come over so they could be there, Garrett motioned to his wife Kate and we all took deep breaths, Garrett opened his first and Kate screamed and he twirled her around. "He got Alaska" I smiled.
"Alaska?" Rose wrinkled her nose.
"Yeah, Kate's from Alaska and that's where her family is at and Garrett's has been in the military, they've never met him, they had a quick wedding and everything, she hasn't seen her family in almost 6 years." I smiled sadly.
"Wow!" Emmett sighed.
"Open yours" Garrett jabbed me with his elbow.
I slowly opened it and peaked inside and had a long face.
"Shit" said Rose.
"How bad? How far?" Dad asked.
"I can't fly to move you out of some strange dudes house." Emmett grumbled and everyone chuckled."
"But you can drive to Tacoma!" I squealed.
And we all jumped up and down.
