Chapter 12

Jacob and I left the office and headed outside. When we were by the parking lot he stoppedand I turned to face him. “I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.” I said, sadly. He had sent me a letter a fewmonths ago telling me that our friendship would never work. Charlie didn’t know what hadhappened with us so he kept bringing him up, which made Edward not to happy. He didn’twant me with the wolves, especially the young ones. He said they were too dangerous, theycouldn’t control themselves as well, they angered easily. “Quill heard a rumor. One of his cousin’s friends goes here.” “Quill? Does that mean that he…?” I asked the look of pain that flashed across my faceanswered my question even before he opened his mouth. I think a part of him hoped that hewouldn’t turn, Apart of Jacob hated what he had become, something…inhuman. “Yeah, he’s officially a part of the pack.” He stated trying to smile, but failing miserably. “Listen Bella, that’s not why I’m here, the rumor he heard-“ He paused as if he was forcinghimself to speak, as if the words burned his mouth. “-that you were pregnant.” He was looking into my eyes then he looked down at mystomach, which was defiantly noticeable now. “I guess it wasn’t just a rumor.” “No, Jacob it isn’t. Now why are you really here, Jake? Why would you come all the way here just to find out if I was pregnant when Billy could have easily asked Charlie?” Jacobs face fellas I spoke, his eyes taking on a strange look, some emotion I couldn’t place. “Vampires can’t copulate, so I wanted to come and see what happened between you and thebloodsucker. He obviously still goes to this school, you stink like them. If they are still hereBella, who got you pregnant? What happened,did you finally see him for what he was?” “And what is he exactly, Jacob?” I asked, I was getting angrier and angrier by the second. “That he’s a monster, Bella. He’s not even alive, he has no heart!” he yelled, frustrated at mysupposed ignorance. “Monster? Jacob you’re the monster! I love him and he loves me. The baby is Edward’s whatyou heard was wrong, apparently he’s alive enough to create life.” I said my voice seethingwith barely contained anger. I felt like I did when I nearly punched Lauren in the face. “You let that

thing

touch you?” Jacob asked his voice low, almost inaudible; his facedisbelieving. A small tremor wracked his tall frame as he fought for control of his anger. Itook a small step back, worried that he might snap. A ripple of fur shot up his arm and hegritted his teeth, a sheen of sweat coating his skin. “What the matter, Bella?” he asked, his words erupting like a growl through his clenchedteeth. “Jacob calm down.” I said trying to sound calm. “Calm, Bella, Calm? Don’t you see, I love you, Bella. That, that

thing

growing inside you is aparasite, sucking the life out of you just like his father is.” he spat.

“I hate you, Jacob Black.” I said stepping back further, still. Anger flowed through mecoursing through my veins like oil. “No, Bella, you don’t. You love me. That bloodsucker you ‘love’ has poisoned you to think of only him, love only him. He’s polluting your mind, Bella. He’s using his looks and powers tohis advantage. To make you see him as this godlike monster. He’s fooled you Bella; he justwants you so no one else, no one better than him can have you.” “No, Jacob. You’re wrong, I don’t love you. I’m not going to stand here while you belittle my judgment. I’m leaving, Jacob. I don’t want to see you again.” I said turning on my heel andwalking as calmly as I could to the Volvo, parked not that far from where we were standing. Igot in the car and started it, speeding out of the parking lot. Not once did I look back atJacob, who I was sure was still standing there.OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoI pulled the Volvo the hidden driveway, Edward was waiting on the porch steps, lookingdirectly at me. Nothing could have hid the anger on his face, but how did he know already?Did I smell

that

bad? I got out of the car and walked over to him, my head down. Tears werethreatening to spill, my eyelids burning from holding them back. I wanted nothing more thanto be in his arms, inside the protection that they offered. “Bella, what were you

thinking

.” Edward said his voice, strained with some barely controlledemotion. “I just thought that he wanted to talk to me. Edward, if you only knew what he was saying. Inever knew he hated you that much; I didn’t think you could hate that much.” I sobbed intohis shoulder. I knew he was still angry, I could feel it in the tension of his body, his framebecoming more stone-like as a result. He picked my up in his arms bridal style and carriedme into the vacant house and into the bathroom. He set me down on the marble counter topas he turned the shower on, testing the water with his hand, even thought I doubt he couldfeel it that well. When he seemed satisfied with the temperature he walked over to me, andlifted me so that I was standing on the floor. “Get in.” he said, his voice sounded broken, disappointed; and his eyes they held grief andworry. Then he turned and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I knewthen what the shower was about. He wanted me clean of Jacob, of his smell; he didn’t wantto have to put up with my betrayal. I did betray him, I realized. I made a promise not longafter we returned from Italy that I would stay away from the wolves. I could have easilyhave not gone with Jacob, but I did. It was my fault; I caused the pain in his eyes. I hurt notonly him but Jacob too, and Charlie. I know that I could never fix things they way they werebefore with Jacob, but I could try to regain some contact with Charlie, Even thought I lovedCarlisle like a father, I wanted Charlie to walk me down the isle. I made a pact with myself asI stripped and stepping into the shower. I would try to patch things up with Charlie, it’s thelast I could do. If it wasn’t for him, would never have moved to forks, I would never havemet Edward, I never would have had the chance to be loved by him. Those were the thingsthat were making my life happy, the things that I lived for everyday, the things that I loved. Iowed Charlie a lot more than I had imagined. I picked up the soap and scrubbed my skinuntil it was pink. I would not go back to him smelling like Jacob, it was all I could do not tohurt him further. I turned up the water shutting the cold off completely. The water on myface mixed with the tears that were still streaming down my face. When I got when my skinwas red, almost burned. I had scrubbed my body raw, washing my hair multiple times whilethe hot water poured over me like lava. I walked over to the mirror and whipped off all of thecondensation that had accumulated from the heat and stared at the person staring in front of me. My eyes were red and puffy from crying, but other than that I looked normal. I pulled on just the tank top I was wearing and my sweat pants and walked to the door. When I graspedthe handle I felt it.The ever present fire, the fire that Carlisle had been giving me medicine for, was back. Theflames licking at the walls of my stomach. I screamed, falling to the floor instantly. Withinseconds, a pair of ivory white hands were lifting me from the wet bathroom floor. Edward

walked steadily to our room and sat down on the edge, cradling me in his arms as hewhispered reassurances. It didn’t last that long this time and within a few minutes the firereduced to just the burning embers in my stomach. I looked up at Edward who was lookingat me worriedly. “I’m okay.” I whispered. “Edward, I’m so sorry, I never wanted this to happen. He called me out of school; I didn’teven know it was him until I got out of the office. They probably didn’t even ask how old heis, he grew a lot since I’ve seen him last. He looks like he’s in his middle twenties already. Iwasn’t thinking straight. I never realized that he could be like that, so mean. He was madthat I was pregnant. He thought that something had happened to us that we broke up; hedidn’t know that you could get me pregnant. You should have seen his face. It’s like he’s nothimself, that was not Jacob.” I cried as the tears resurfaced the salt from them bitter on mytongue. “Promise me, Bella. Promise me that you won’t see the wolves again, not just for you’rehealth but mine as well. I don’t think I could take it if I ever smelled him on you again andknew that you came to him willingly. I smelled you before you were even on the street. Alicecalled me she was worried sick, somehow suddenly you future ceased to exist; it became ameaningless black void. I was so worried, Bella. Anything could have happened to you and Iwas stuck her helpless in this shaded prison. Promise me you won’t do it again, Bella, I don’tthink I will survive it next time.” He pleaded with me, his eyes boring into mine, daring me todefy him. “I promise.” I said and he clutched me closer to him. “Umm, Edward?” I asked confused. “hmm.” He murmured his head in my hair. “Isn’t this breaking the rules?’ I asked gesturing to our contact. He smiled at me, and Imelted instantly. “No. maybe you didn’t hear the contract fully. I am allowed to touch you as much as I want,you on the other hand, must keep your hands to yourself.” He said smiling wickedly. “But that’s not fair!” I protested, trying to get out of his grip, he was planning something Icould tell from the look in his eyes. “How else am I supposed to get you to give in?” he asked a smile curving his lips. “What do you mean?” I stuttered. “Remember six months ago today?” “Uh-ha” “I think it’s time for a little payback. You seduced me Bella; I think it’s only fair that I returnthe favor.” I watched, mesmerized by his eyes as he spoke. The entire time a band of greenflecks shot out form around his pupil, floating to random spots on his irises before the brownwas almost completely covered with the little green flecks. “You can’t be serious, Edward that’s not fair!!!” I protested as he leaned forward and grabbedthe hem of my shirt. I moved my arms to make a grab for his hands but stopped myself,millimeters from his skin. “Na-ah-uh, Silly bella, are you really going to give up that easily?” He said grinning as hiseyes grew brighter. I have to say that that smile definitely had an effect on my resolve to
