The Flower and Major

Part 20

I looked up as my bedroom door had slammed open. Bella stood there with a determined look in her eyes. Sighing I closed my laptop turning to her.

"What is it you need, Bella?" I asked. "Or what is it you want to drag me into?" 

"We're going to Jake's." She says. "Come on." 

I rubbed my hands harshly on my face before climbing out of bed. I slipped on my black converse grabbing my phone and following Bella out of the house. She climbed into her truck with me close behind. I frowned slightly seeing the empty space for the radio Emmett had installed. Shaking my head I sent Jasper, who was out hunting a quick text about what I was doing.

I stayed in the cab of the truck hugging the cardigan I was wearing closer. It had ended up pouring down rain sending a chill into the cab of the truck. Bella seemed to be arguing with Jacob before she turned around looking utterly heartbroken. She walked back to the truck climbing in. 

"Bella." I say gently seeing the broken look on her face.

"Don't." She snapped pulling out of the driveway. "Just don't." 

I huffed rolling my eyes at her while we headed back home. It was dead silent. I tried to offer Bella my cardigan but she refused.

It was nighttime by the time we got home. Bella walked in the door sopping wet with me not far behind. I shut the door turning to Dad with a sad look in my eyes. He grabbed a blanket wrapping it around her. 

"Billy called." Dad says looking between us. "Said you and Jacob got into a fight. But hey, you guys will work it out, I'm sure of it." 

"I'm going to change." Bella said emotionless.

She walked upstairs while I go to Dad hugging him tightly. Dad rubbed my back as he swayed me from side to side. 

"She was getting better." I whimpered. "I am going to kill Edward." 

"I'll lend you my gun." Dad says into my hair.

I glanced up from the book I was reading quietly to Jasper who had his eyes closed with his head on my stomach. He suddenly sits bolt upright looking toward me. He must of heard the weird noises too.

"Jacob's in there." Jasper whispered.

"I'll be right back." I stated livid. 

"Darlin', clothes." Jasper says.

"I've got clothes on." I say. "I'll be fine." 

"Babe, you only have bra and panties on." He says exasperated.

"Did you just call me babe?" I giggle taking the crop top I wore earlier from my chair putting it on. 

I walked out of my room ignoring Jasper's quiet pleas for me to put on some pants. I walked across the hall to Bella's room to see Jacob standing there. I shot my hand out causing him to fly against the wall. I kept him held there as I glared.

"Jacob, if you ever fucking make my sister that heartbroken again, I. Will. Kill. You." I growled. "Do you want me to throw him out the window?"

"No." Bella mumbled. "I think he and I should have a little talk." 

"Okay." I nodded dropping my hand. "Goodnight, Sis." 

"Goodnight." 

I walked back to my room shutting and locking the door. Jasper was laughing quietly on the bed. I playfully rolled my eyes taking my crop top back off before jumping onto my bed landing on top of Jasper giggling. He kissed me sweetly as I snuggled into him. Jasper ran his hands through my hair.

I laughed as Jasper pulled me close while we danced to slow music. Jasper pressed his lips to my hair as I closed my eyes. I loved days like this. Just us enjoying each other. Our moment was ruined by my phone ringing. I pouted pulling from Jasper and grabbed my phone off the couch. I frowned seeing Sam calling.

"Yes, Sammy?" I questioned. 

"You might want to head to Emily's." He says. "Bella found out." 

"Fuck, I'll be there in twenty." I say. "How'd she find out?"

"I'll let her explain." Sam chuckled. "She's brave is one thing I know about."

"Alright." I laughed. "Bye." 

I hung up and turn to see Jasper who seemed to stiffen glaring out the window into the forest. I gently lay my hand on his bicep.

"Come on." He says. "I'll drive you to the treaty and run home." 

"Jasper." I say gently. "What's going on?"

"I can smell her." He growled. "Victoria."

I climbed out of the Mustang slamming the door shut. I marched up to the house entering the house. Jared and Embry both cringe slightly. I gave Emily a sweet smile before turning to Bella who was looking at me nervously. I walked over to her inspecting her for injuries. 

"Alright, what did you do?" I questioned. "Sammy wouldn't tell me, said you would." 

"I kind of slapped Paul across the face." Bella mumbled.

"Seriously Bella." I groaned. "At least Sam was right about one thing." 

"About what?" Emily asked with a small smile. 

"That, our Isabella is brave." I giggled.

The door opened and Paul came walking in with Jake and Sam not far behind. Paul sat at the table grabbing a muffin. He turned to Bella with a small smirk.

"Sorry." He says causing me to smack him.

"That was very unapologetic." I snapped.

"Sorry." He says rubbing his head.

"Hey." Jake smiled at Bella. "Let's take a walk." 

Bella looked over at me and I nodded gesturing to Jake. She gave me a small smile before following Jacob out the door. I smiled sitting down beside Paul snatching the muffin he was about to eat and quickly shoved it into my mouth while he protested causing everyone to laugh.

The door slammed open causing me to look up from where I was torturing Paul. Bella stormed in glaring at me. I raised an eyebrow at her. She walked over getting in my face.

"He's been back?!" Bella cried out. "Jasper's been back and you didn't utter a word to me about it?!"

"Because it's none of your damn business Bella!" I screamed right back. "He didn't want to leave in the first place Ed-"

I was cut off by a sharp stinging sensation and my head jerked to the left. I slowly turned my head back to her with an icy glare. I locked my jaw throwing out my hands causing her to fall on her ass. 

"Everything is not about you, Bella." I growled. 

"I'm sorry." Bella stuttered. "I don't know what made me do that." 

"Save it." I growled storming out of the house.
