Betrayal

"Bella." 

"Tell her Jacob." Edward warned again. 

"I saw Charlie. He was on his boat and the motor had stopped. The little leech ran by me again and I was trying to catch the scent. I looked back at Charlie and.....he heard. He saw. He saw what I was Bella! I didn't know what do, so attacked. Now, Charlie is dead." 

I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to feel. I wanted to hit him, but I knew he wouldn't be able to feel anything through his thick werewolf skin. I crumbled. My body hit the floor with only Edward there to support me. 

"It's going to be okay." He kept whispering in my ears.

No it  wasn't. Charlie was dead and that meant I would be forced to go back with Renee and Phil. Back to Florida. No more Edward. 

"How could you!" I yelled at Jacob. 

"I'm sorry Bella. I had to." 

Edward held me back from possibly killing this dog. He put his arms around my shoulders. I turned back to Jacob oncce. 

"I hate you Jacob Black." I spat before following Edward upstairs. I heard Jacob leave and then he would probably phase outside. How could he?

Edward laid me on his bed and traced my jawline with his finger. 

"How can he be dead? I mean...we were never the ideal father and daughter duo but I loved him Edward. I should have told him that. Instead sulking and throwing a fit I should have told him I loved." 

"It's okay Bella." 

"No it's not! Have you thought about this? No Charlie means it's back home for me. Back to Renee and Phil in the state full of sunshine and people." 

"If no one knows Charlie is dead...." 

"I will not! He at least deserves a nice burial. He's probably out in the woods rotting." 

"No, Emmett and Jasper went to retreieve the body." 

I cried into Edward's chest. Part of me hated Jacob for what he did and against my will the other part still thought of him as a friend.
