Chapter Twenty Three - Planning
"I want to wait until after graduation. Make it easier on Charlie." I told my boyfriend as he was taking me home. "Edward, I want you to be the one to do it." He said nothing but we screeched to a halt.
"What's wrong?" I asked paying no attention to our sudden stop
"It's Jacob, he wants to speak with Jasper and I." He got out of the car.
"Jackie, what's going on?" Bella asked coming up behind me.
"It's Jake, he wants to speak to them." I took her arm and we followed the boys into the woods.
"So your still alive for now." Jake said
"He thinks' it's us keeping you away." Edward told me and my sister
"You stay the hell out of my head."
"Jacob." Jasper came forward. I know that you have something to say to me. But I wish to say something to you first if that's alright." he paused
"Thank you. Thank you for keeping Bella alive when I didn't."
"No, you didn't and It wasn't for your benefit trust me."
" I know that I can speak for Edwards as well when I say that we're back now and we're not leaving unless she wills us to."
"Hey, my turn to talk. I came to remind the both of you about a key point in the treaty." I furrowed my eyebrows
"We haven't forgotten." Edward replied
"What key point?" I asked
"If any of them bites a human then the truce is over." I stepped forward
"But if we choose then it has nothing to do with you."
"No, no. I won't let you. You're not going to be one of them."
"I'm getting tired of people telling what to do." I breathed putting my hand on my head.
"It's not up to you Jake."
"You know what we'll do to you, I won't have a choice."
"Jackie, please, come." Edward pulled me towards him.
"Wait, Edward. Is he going to hurt us? read his mind." Bella asked and there was nothing. so she went past me.
"Jake, I love you. We both do, so please, don't make us choose. Cause it'll be them cause it always has been."
"Come on." Edward took my arm
"No you don't speak for her." he growled and went for him. He was pushed backward and I heard his wolf.
"Stop." I say
"You can't hurt each other, without hurting us. So just stop."
"Jake." Bella whispered. I turned and left the same way I came.
"He's right. You shouldn't become like me." I turned to my boyfriend
"Well, I can't do it alone."
"Then please wait. Give me five years."
"No." I shook my head
"Then Three." I folded my arms
"You are so stubborn. Fine, if you want me to do it to myself, I have one condition. One and then forever."
"What is it?"
"Marry me."
