it is now January
….
Chapter 1: Birds of a Feather- Billie Ellish
Bella felt her face turn a deep scarlet as Jacob's brothers teased them mercilessly.
" When's Bella gonna call!"
" Maybe I should call Bella and hang up"
" I wish Bella would call!"
" I wish Bella wouldn't call"
" Alright, shut up now, seriously. " was Jacob's warning when he saw Bella look away in
embarrassment.
Before they could continue Emily and Sam appeared in the doorway.
Emily quickly greeted Bella with a tight embrace and loving embrace that took her by surprise.
" Oh, Bella! I missed you! I was wondering when We were going to see your face around here! How are you? Are you hungry?"
Bella didn't get to respond because the Uley front door burst open again.
This time a tall woman with a short bob Sneered down at them, her eyes glaring at Bella with a coldness.
" Bells, this is Leah Clearwater, one of our newer wolves."
" um hi Leah. I am so sorry about your dad. Is there anything I can help with?"
"yeah, you can help alright. If you are here to torture Jacob some more, then leave he doesn't need you to drag him along," she growled
With that said, Leah phased and disappeared into the forest.
" peachy isn't she?" was Jacob's dry remark. The pack stood In awkward conversation as Leah's words lingered in the air.
It wasn't a secret that Jacob had been angry and heartbroken when Bella took off for Italy to save Edward. She had been gone for two weeks, calling Charlie the day before to let him know she was alive and on her way home. However, Bella had not called Jacob. When Alice appeared and told her that Edward was trying to kill himself Bella just couldn't let him do it. Even though her relationship with Jacob had progressed Edward Cullen still hung over their heads. Jacob begged her not to go but Bella made her choice.
She left their pack brother broken-hearted and they all felt it. Even she felt it and it killed her. It was a miracle she had been able to get out of the house anyway. She had been grounded for the whole month of December only being allowed to go to school and work, and to her annoyance her father revoked her driving and phone privileges whenever She did leave the house.
It was bad because she lost her independence and yet a plus. After all, Edward couldn't get to her.
And yet today, of all days, her father allowed her out of the house to hang with Jacob. The latter's original intent had been to get her in trouble by bringing the motorcycles to Charlie's attention, but Jacob hadn't known that Bella was already grounded.
Flashback :
The quiet scraps of a fork hitting a plate let Bella know her father was still angry at her. And she deserved it. She had left him in the middle of the night with no communication as his best friend was in the hospital possibly dying. She hadn't been there for him, instead, she ran away to italy to save a man who didn't love her nor did he deserve her, Bella knew that now but back then she had been blinded.
The sound of a chair being pushed back made her look up from her musings, as her father silently put his dish in the sink.
"Dad I can-"
"No." was his cold clipped tone.
Bella winched at her father's anger. He had every right to be angry, he almost lost her not just once but twice. On top of her depression and dissaperance when Edward left.
She had put her father through so much. She was such a selfish daughter.
"Dad… I cant.. I cant apologize enough for how I hurt you. I shouldnt have gone and Edward didnt deserve anything from me but i just felt so bad, I couldnt let him die i-"
" Are you serious bella?!" Her father exclaimed as he looked at her with wide eyes.
He then approached her pulling up a chair so that they were eye level.
"Do you even understand why your being punished? You allowed yourself to be manipulated by Alice because Edward was too much of a chicken to get help. It is not your job to take care of him! Its not your job to coddle his emotions! Thats what his parents are for! You allowed alice to take you out of the country and anything could have happen to you! To hell with Edward cullen! He doesnt deserve you babygirl! This man broke you! He shattered you ! He left you in the woods to die and who was the one who had to nurse you back to health!? Who stayed up for months making sure you were still breathing and holding you through the nightmares cause It sure wasnt his pasty behind! Baby girl i need you to understand that this punishment is for your safety. This is the third time I have almsot lost you and I am at my wits end! The cullens left you! All of them! No phone call! No email ! no letter and yet When Edward is in danger they call you! How in the world is that fair or ok! Its not Bella! Dont you see how wrong this is!Thier manipulating you!"
She swallowed hard because deep down, she knew her father was right but she couldn't have just let Edward die. His family would have been upset. She told her father this and he just shook his head.
"No baby girl. NO! If Edward was that broken, then it should have been his family to rescue him and get him some help! Not you! And you have the nerve to consider taking him back. Isabella I will not stand here and watch that monster break my daughter all over again. You are my babygirl. the only one I have , I will protect you with my very last breath even if that means protecting you from yourself. I know whats it like to be young and in love but I dont want you to make my 's time for you to let him go and move on with your life. You deserve so much more then him."
A broken sob released itself from Bella's lips. She had been holding it in since Italy. Her father was right. Bella had been foolish in her choices. Edward tried to warn her but she didnt listen.
And now she had hurt everyone she loved and cared father, her friends, the pack and even jacob.
Her heart constricted at the thought of Jacob. Her Jacob. His face full of pain and yet a subtle understanding. Even as he begged her not to go, that memory would forever be etched in her brain.
Warm and strong arms pulled her up, as her father manevered her into his lap. The whole entire thing was out of character for both of them. Neither one of them were very vocal about their emotions. It was probably why Bella had so many nightmares. She was supressing all of her feelings and they were tormenting her as she slept.
" I just dont know what to do anymore daddy."
"Sshh,its alright now. You just take it one day at a time."
"But I hurt you. I hurt so many people!"
Her father sighed as he rested his head at the top of her hair.
"Yes… yes you did but your young and your going to make mistakes. I just need you not to make mistakes that cost you your life bells."
Bella opened her mouth to speak but a knock on the door had both of them looking.
Her father helped her off his lap and went to answer the door.
Wiping her eyes, she followed him out the kitchen leaning on the door jam .
Her father opened the door and Bella gasp. Standing at the door was Jacob.
"Jacob?" Charlie questioned.
"Hey chief, can i talk to you for a minute?"
Charlie nodded and stepped aside to allow him in.
Bella stared at jacob, started at his feet that were covered with black nikes ,rising up as his srong legs came into view, moving on to his chest and biceps that were covered by a black tshirt and black jacket. And finally, her eyes connected with his and Bella felt her soul lurch.
He was studying her just the same. He had grew the past three weeks she was gone. He seemed taller then before and now his hair was at least chin length.
"Jacob?" Charlie called, bringing him back to the moment.
Jacob reluctantly looked away from her and to her father.
"I .. I .. Dad sent me to remind you that Harry's home now and he wants to see you.. .and I just wanted to see if Bella could come to the reservation?"
Bella could tell that jacob wasnt telling the whole truth and so could her father but he ignored it as he looked at bella and then back at Jacob.
"Sure. why not but you need be home by 7pm young lady .do you understand?I am going to head down there myself and see harry. Hang on a second."
Her father went upstairs, the sound of shuffling across the flor.
Bella looked towards jacob but he refused to look at her, instead his eyes were closed.
"Now Bella." her father began as he came down the stairs. "This is for emergencies only. I'm trusting you young lady, to make adult descions."
He told her as he handed her something silver.
Bella gasp as she realized it was her phone. The night she returned home, her father confiscated it fearing Edward would call her and try to manipulate her again.
"Thank you cha- Dad. Thank you dad.." she said sullenly as she held the phone.
To her surprise, her father pulled her into a tight hug.
"Love you so much baby girl."
"I love you too …daddy."
Her father then cleared his throat and nudged her towards jacob.
"You two have fun. Lets meet at Billy's for dinner."
With that said, Jacob nodded and walked out the front door. Bella followed after him.
….
Bella paused as she held open the passenger door of Billy's truck. Because in the back of it were two motorcycles.
"I …was gonna tell charlie… but… " he cut himself off as he shook his head and sighed. " just… just get in the truck bells. Please."
….
The drive to La Push was silent. Nothing but the sound of the radio jacob had turned on.
I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright
" I … I thought you were ignoring me. I didn't know you were grounded. And I was still just so freaking angry at you, that I was going to show Charlie the bikes,just so.. You wouldn't be able to see the bloodsucker so much. But… I overheard your conversation with charlie and from the way your house smelt, i could tell the bloodsucker hadnt been there in a while. And then the moment, I looked into your eyes-"
Jacob paused as he took a deep breath, his eyes glancing at her.
"I realized I couldn't do that. I couldn't- didnt want to hurt you more then you had already been hurt. So ill drop you off anywhere you want on the reservation."
" you can drop me off at the beach if you dont want to be bothered with me. I understand. I hurt you… I left you after you put me back togather. You were my friend and … we were getting somewhere and i ruined it. I am ..so sorry and i understand why you wouldn't want to be around me, so… I'll just hang out on the beach."
Jacob looked at her quizzically.
"Bells wait.. What.. of course i want to be around you! Your my best friend! I was just so angry with you! You could have been hurt and you were. Physically you may look fine but honey, i can see , what happened to you in Italy .I can see t hat somethings wrong .are you scared? Talk to me Bella,baby please."
Once again, Bella felt her soul jump and goosebumps raised on her skin at his words.
He called her baby.
Oh, his voice, Jacob's voice was like a balm that soothed her soul.
And if I'm turning blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die
Tears filled her eyes, as she refused to speak and yet. Jacobs hand reached for hers. Both of them locking their fingers together.
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised
