Author’s Notes: OK guys here we go not far to go now
Part Sixteen
Jacob POV
“You don’t have to go.” I told her. Want I meant was please don’t go.
“I’m not going to be long.” She replied. I wasn’t so certain about that. Truce was over, that bloodsucker would be fighting for her again now. I really didn’t want her to change her mind. I would kill me.
“Just stay here.” I tried again.
“I need to talk to him.” She replied, walking out on me. She looked a little mad and I really hoped I hadn’t just made things worse for myself.
Edward POV
I paced waiting for her. I heard her truck pull up and went straight outside to meet her. I didn’t really want the whole house to hear all the details or our relationship. I’m sure Bella wouldn’t either.
“How are you feeling?” I asked her, as she climbed out of the truck.
“Much better.” She replied, smiled awkwardly.
“Want to go for a walk?” I asked her, wincing at the same line I used before I made the biggest mistake of my existence. The same thing I said to her before walking out on her. “Or we could go inside if you’d prefer.”
“I don’t mind really. I guess we could go for a walk.” She replied uneasily. We started walking into the trees. “So what did you want to talk about?”
“I need to be honest with you.” I told her.
Bella POV
My heart was in my mouth, thumping wildly. What was I going to do?! Edward stopped us not far from the house.
“I deliberately pushed you away...I was hoping Victoria would see you were no longer my mate and therefore the mate for mate thing wouldn’t be an issue, that she would go for me instead, or even better decide that me living without you was punishment enough and leave.” He explained. “But I thought that would be hoping for too much.”
“When you were arguing with me before...you did it on purpose?” I whispered, not sure if I was relieved or betrayed or both.
“I’m sorry.” He said softly. “Bella, you have to believe that I was doing this to save your life.” I nodded dumbly. “I love you. You’ve my only reason for existing.” I looked up at his perfect face, his golden eyes. There was no question of his love for me...or my love for him. He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I did nothing to stop him. “You have to tell me what you’re thinking.”
“Edward...” I whispered. “I can’t...”
“You can’t change your mind.” He sighed, defeated.
“Edward I love you, and I never thought I’d be doing this in a million years.” I said, I felt tears running down my face already. “Truth is, I think I gave my heart away a long time ago...when I was a little girl just playing at the beach. As much as I love you Edward...I can never give you my whole heart, because Jacob has had a part of it for years.”
“And now he has the rest.” Edward muttered. He smashed his fist into a tree sending bark flying and the tree came down taking another with it. Fortunately the destruction stopped at that. “Sorry...I just...I’ll never forgive myself for leaving that day. If I hadn’t have left none of this would have happened.”
“It might, it might not have.” I replied, sounding much calmer than I felt. “I guess we’ll never know. Never forget Edward...I do love you and I am grateful for everything you and your family have done for me.”
“All we did was protect you from the danger I put you in.” He said quietly. “Don’t you forget, I love you and I will always be there if you need me.”
He kissed me again, longer, softer, sweeter. His kiss lingered and I tears escaping once again. This would be the last time I would kiss Edward Cullen.
“Edward...” I whispered.
“Go.” He murmured. I nodded no longer trusting my voice and ever so slowly turned and walked back to my truck.
I reached the truck in hysterics and drove home with tear filled eyes. I wiped them before going into the house so Charlie wouldn’t be suspicious.
“Hey Bells.” He said, when I walked in. “Nice for you to show up here for once.” He chuckled to himself. “I actually wanted to talk to you about that.”
I dreaded these kind of conversations with Charlie. No doubt he wanted to do the protective father bit and check he wasn’t going to be a grandpa anytime soon.
“Yeah, I’m sorry dad.” I said. “I’ll try to be home more.”
“That’s not really the bit I was going to ask you about.” He said. “I was wondering what you would think of moving?” Moving?! Moving where? Was this so that I wouldn’t see Jake or Edward?
“Moving?” I asked, trying not to panic.
“Don’t panic Bella.” Charlie chuckled. “It’s not far.”
“Then why move?” I asked. I was curious now.
“Well...since I’ve been seeing less of you due to a certain young man, I figured I would take you to him.” He said. “We’re moving to a place right up on the edge of the reservation.”
“Really?” I asked. “Are you sure about this?”
“If you don’t want to that’s fine but to be honest...it might be good for me to finally let go of my past too.” He replied. I could see him look a little uneasy. “It might help me move on from your mom. I mean I am over her but the memories of being a family here-”
“I get it.” I interrupted to save his embarrassment. “So-”
“If you’re wondering when, not until after graduation.” He answered the question I hadn’t yet asked. “You still have school Bella, even if you only have a few weeks left.”
I nodded in response and walked out of the room, as I reached the stairs I heard him talking to himself.
“At least he’s better than that Cullen boy...had me worried for a moment but Jacob....” I smiled sadly. Poor Edward, he couldn’t get a break. On the plus side...Charlie already liked Jacob before we became an item.
I reached my bedroom only to find an all too familiar figure sat on my bed. I smiled.
“I should have known you wouldn’t stay away long.” I said.
“Want to go out for a bit? Then beach looks amazing in the moonlight?” Jacob asked me, standing up and pulling me to him.
“That’s an awfully long walk...” I murmured.
“Do you trust me?” he asked. I looked into his eyes, I felt a small pang of sadness, that wasn’t the first time I’d heard those words. I nodded. He picked me up and walked to the window. I suddenly realised what he was going to do.
Jacob POV
I saw horror creep onto her face as she realised what I was going to do but she didn’t make a noise as carefully climbed out of the window and then leapt to the ground.
“Climb on and hold on tight.” I told her. I removed my shorts and tied them to my leg before phasing. She looked a little shy when faced with my wolf form. She gingerly reached out to stroke my fur. I licked her hand causing a small chuckle to escape her lips. She carefully climbed on as if she was worried about hurting me. Then her arms fastened tightly round my neck and her legs clapped around my middle and I started running.
Me and my Bella. Forever. Who know’s maybe after we both graduate...I might ask her to marry me.
The End
