So this is my first fanfic in YEARS! I really didn’t like how the book went so I am writing my own, sounds good doesn’t it. I want to try and start writing my own stuff so this will help me polish up on my writing.
I am starting my story in the second book. I hope you have all read it. Its after Bella comes home and Alice is there and RIGHT before Edward calls and Jake says Charlie is at the funeral… okay everyone? READ AN REVIEW PLEASE!
Chapter I
Escaping the Headlights
He stood there his hand on my cheek, I know what he wanted to do, but I hadn’t made my decision yet. Could I let him? Could I reject him? If I did would he still want to be around me? He began to lean down and I could feel my breath catch in my throat… If Romeo never came back would Juliet marry Paris? Could she be with him?
“Romeo didn’t willingly leave Juliet”
Who was that?!
Whatever it was I made up my mind. I felt Jacobs other arm wrap around my back as he pulled me closer for a kiss. I gasped as I felt his lips against mine, my blood flowed and this time it didn’t flood through the hole in my chest, There was no hole… There was no hole?
‘Bella, we’re so stupid!’ came a voice I knew very well, it was nearly a growl. This voice was one of pure frustration, wanting to be heard for so long but I never let it.
‘It’s about time!’ I gasped and Jacob pulled me away slightly looking down at me now his expression filled with worry ad desire, I simply nodded and he moved in once more to kiss me, just as gentle as before.
“We should have known from the beginning, he was just a predator… like he said all along.” I felt knots in me being loosened that I never knew where there and then I felt dizzy. How could I have been so stupid as to think I was in love with him.
“If you would have just tried to listen to yourself earlier!” Man I was crazier then I had originally thought. This voice was MINE!
“Of course its yours, you never really cared what your own opinion was. I was always being drowned out by that damn vampire that you were so bound by. Now start listening to yourself!”
And I did, I listened and I thought and I realized everything that I hadn’t before. Like, what had I been doing to Jake this whole time? Dragging it out and dragging him through the mud… If only I had kissed him sooner, I could have saved him and myself from a lot of grief. I felt like the frog Princess or something, I get a kiss from a true prince and poof! Spell gone.
I felt myself begin to tremble as tears burst through my eyes. Jacob pulled away looking frightened “Bella, what’s wrong?”
I couldn’t look at him I just kept shaking my head, I was so ashamed and confused. Where had the pain gone? It seemed now only a tiny scare and the only reason it hurt now was because I know that the scar was what caused me to make Jacob feel so bad. As I cried I snickered a little, which made Jacob’s expresion twist with confusion and worry. I knew he thought I was crazy.
“I was like a deer in headlight…” I chocked through the tears and laughter. “I was like a deer… Just mesmerized until the car hit me…” and I stopped laughing an began to sob. I reached out to Jacob pulling myself into his warm chest.
“Bella, Calm down… then maybe explain what your talking about.” I heard him whisper as if praying to some unknown god please say she hasn’t cracked up finally.’
The phone rang but I was still sobbing just as hard as before, Jacob kept his one arm wrapped around me, and leaned towards the phone and answered it.
“Swan residence… No he’s not here… He’s at a funeral!” and he hung up the phone. I knew I had to calm myself down, I needed to talk to Jacob, had to explain something, Say something before he dragged me off to a rubber room. I backed myself to the kitchen table chair and sat down, pressing my head as close to my legs as I could and began to take deep breaths. Finally my gasping stopped and my breaths came steady. Jake knelt beside me gently rubbing my back and quietly whispering “Bella, Calm down, its okay, just tell me what’s wrong.”
I rubbed at my wet tear stained face and looked beside me to see Jake’s face merely inches from mine again. “Oh God, Jake!” small tears sprang from my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’m so sorry.”
“Bella!” he raised his voice but wasn’t angry, I knew he was just trying to get my attention before I started babbling again. He pulled me away to get me to look at him. “Bella, what’s wrong!?” He seemed almost scared now.
I felt confused myself again, how could I explain everything that just transpired, my feelings, the hole, Jacobs role in all of this. I gave a little laugh “this will take a little while to explain.”
Jacobs face creased with sadness “I’m sorry Bells I shouldn’t have done that, you don’t have to tell me anything.” He began to stand “I’m just gunna go now.” I realized that Jake thought that I was rejecting him.
“No!” I grabbed his arm tightly “Jake, its not what you think!” he was still turned away from me determined to leave. “Jake, Its just I think that kiss, it was, a wakeup call is all.”
He turned to look at me his eyebrows knit together and suddenly his face went hard. “She’s back!” it sounded like a whispered growl “Bells, I have to go!” I slowly released my grip on him, If he wanted he could have easily pulled away but he let my fingers linger for only a few seconds.
He began to power walk for the front door as I yelled after him “Hey! Who was on the phone?”
He opened the door as he turned and yelled back “It was Dr. Cullen.” His face twisted into disgust as if he was about to spit.
He closed the door and I heard a loud thump that was NOT the door closing. I ran for the door as yelling ensued outside, “watch it mut!” it was Alice.
I ran outside and saw Jacob flat on his butt at the bottom of my stairs, I could only assume that he ran into Alice and found her to be as hard as a wall, just like Jake was to me.
Alice’s turned to me “Bella” she choked
I felt worried “Alice, What’s wrong?” I walked to Jacob who’s hands now shook and place my own hand on his.
Her eyes focused on mine, they were wide with panic “Edward” she whispered.
The name didn’t cause the agonizing pain it had before, just anxious butterflies and oddly I felt and edge of anger ebbing at the pit of my stomach. Jacob shifted and put his arm around my shoulder assuming a worse reaction from me.
“what?” was all I could figure to say. I felt no need to be scared or freak out, just the nervous curiosity.
“Spit the shit out! What about the bloodsucker?” he was trembling harder, I nudge him a little getting him to look at me and I smiled at him. I bet he thought I would be hurt by hearing about the ’bloodsucker’ Edward, so my smile threw him off, and the confusion that was such an easy thing for him the last few minute caught him up again until he stopped shaking and his brows knit again. He looked at Alice, caught up in his own thoughts.
“Alice…” I stepped forward away from Jacob, I reached out gently touching her hand “What’s happened?”
“I don’t know,” she was furious. “what is he thinking?”
“Alice! Just tell me what’s going on.” I squeezed her hand hard.
“Edward… He thinks your dead…” Alice finally blurted out. But why was this such a big deal? Good for him, I was hoping I could write him off as being dead soon too. Wait! When did I start hoping for that? I could only stare at her. “You’re not upset?”
“No… Why should I be? He’ll either hear that I’m not dead, or he’ll just go on thinking I am. No big deal.” I still didn’t know what had her so freaked out.
“Bella, he’s going to Italy.” It took me only seconds to pick through my memory, I knew this little hint she gave meant something. Edward was going to Italy, of course it wasn’t for his vacation… the Volturi. I remembered, him saying if and when he wanted to die he would go to them, his family wouldn’t help him, it was his only choice.
“Oh…” it was nearly a whisper. What could I do about it? What did Alice want me to do? “Is he stupid? Why would he go and do that?”
“He made his mind up when he called. That call you just got…” She pointed out.
“Oh…” was the only word I spat out again.
“But HE left Bella! HE knew she would die sometime! So what difference does her life make to him?” Jacob joined the conversation.
“He never planed on outliving you by long.” Alice looked glum.
“How Stupid is he!?” The anger ebbed up slowly from my stomach. Both Alice and Jake looked at me with astonishment. “Alice just call him! Tell him to stop whatever he’s doing and go back home to all of you.” My fists balled, I couldn’t believe he was going to go and do something like that, he made me promise to stay safe and not do anything stupid when he left, he was as good as dead to me then, I was never going to see him again. So now what? Now that he thought I was, he was going to go do something stupid and die. Maybe this love was real on both sides? No, I couldn’t think that, even if he did love me enough to die it made no difference. I was the deer and if I didn’t move I was going to get hit by the car, I couldn’t go back and wait for the car to turn around and hope to see those mesmerizing lights again and then get hit.
“Before I came I called his phone. He left it in the trash somewhere in Rio… Someone answered it…”
I felt a little guilty, He had saved me twice. I owed him didn’t I? “So now what?” I felt a little lost, no matter what he had once been to me, or what he was now didn’t I need to help him and pay him back. But this was his own fault, it was basically suicide and if the others couldn’t’ save him who was to say that I could?
“I… I…” she was a indecisive “I have to go and show him your not…” her eyes clouded, I could tell she was looking for his future. “I may be to late.” she looked at me as if expecting something.
“what?” I leaned closer
“Bella?” she shifted her gaze to examine my face “You want…” she cut herself off. “I have to go Bella.”
“Will I see you again?” I felt sad and worried now, not for Edward but for Alice.
She stared off “I don’t know.” I knew she hated not knowing.
“Good luck.” I hugged her tightly and she patted my head.
“Goodbye Bella.” Alice stepped away and was gone, flying down the road in her shiny black Mercedes. I was caught up in thought when I felt Jake’s hands on my shoulders.
“Bells, Are you okay?” I turn hugging him tightly again, the scar becoming less visible again.
“Yeah… I’m okay. I’m just worried…” I began to walk towards the house, I felt embarrassed a little for hugging him so much “and I’m a bit relieved too.” I opened the door, Jacob still stood at the bottom of the stairs. “weird combination, huh? So you ready for a explanation?” I gave him a bright smile.
Jacob only nodded his head, he was obviously dazed and confused as he walked though the door after me.
Okay well that was my first chapter of my first Twilight story. I think I may wait to see if you all review it and how you all like it to write more. I hope you all do like it. Dont worry i will get to the naughty soon enough. I just wanted to get the ball rolling and a basic storyline of my own set up. I also wanted to add a little romance.
