To break and To fix.

chapter 10

Three months ago.

"I've imprinted," he finally said, but that didn't explain why he looked so upset. Shouldn't he be happy? Jacob had found the other half of his soul, so he definitely shouldn't look so sad. But then he continued, and she understood why he was so nervous. "I've imprinted on Edward."And Edward had been trying to act as normally as he could manage.

Present Time.

~Bella's POV.~

Three months. It's been three months and that news was still so unexpected. Three months since she slapped her ...ex. Best friend in the face..... three months since she's seen or even talked to said best friend... Bella would never have thought that Jacob would imprint on Edward. To be completely honest, a selfish part of her had thought he might imprint on her. No way would she have ever seen that coming!

Jacob had never liked Edward. Actually, that was a major understatement. Jacob had hated Edward! With all the passionate fibers of his being. She supposed that was why Jacob hadn't come to see her lately and why he hadn't called or tried to explain things. He had never been very good at hiding his feelings, and she would have been able to tell that something was different those four weeks they hadn't seen or talked before they happened to bump into each other in Seattle. From first glance she could tell that something was wrong, even if she didn't know yet what it was.... until she did.

After what happened in Seattle, her and Edward never really went to see the movies. I mean, how could she!? She just found out her best friend imprinted on her boyfriend?! She asked Edward to take her home. There, not only did Edward help put ointment on her hand to stop the swelling from when she slapped Jake, but she and Edward also got into a screaming competition. Her more than him...

______________________________________________
"I can't believe you're gonna leave me and fuck my best friend..." She said coldy just as Edward finished putting the ointment.

"Bella. Nobody's- doing that..."

She growled and begun pacing her room. "How can I believe that!? I know what imprints do! I've seen that with my own eyes! Why do you think Leah is still a cold hearted, pure, bitter grade-A bitch! It's because Sam left her for her cousin! And now you're doing the same! here you are leaving me for my best friend! Now not only am I gonna experience what she's been through, but I'm also gonna become as bitter as her!!"

" BELLA!" Edward yelled. He's never yelled this angry at her. For attention yes. Irritation sure. But not angry.. he looked.. scary. Like the true vampire he is...
"Not only do you have every right to believe it because I love you. But you should also know that you're my mate and I'd do anything for you..I promised.." Edward said this so sincerely... The way he went from looking like a vampire ready to rip someone's head off, to looking like a kicked puppy trying to apologize for doing something wrong by bringing it's favorite toy...

"But -"

"But nothing my love. You are not Leah. And you are not going to experience what she went through because I won't let that happen. I've done so much for you to just let you go like that..." Edward said softly as he slowly brought a silently crying Bella into his embrace.

" Didn't stop you the first time...." Yes, she knew that was a low blow but she needed to say it. She needed to put her point across.

"That.... that was a mistake I'll never repeat in my undead life ever again.... you mean too much to me for me to do that a second time...."

"B-but... but what of Jake-"

" Please just... Just forget about him for a moment okay."
