Naturally

Naturally (A Jacob Black Fanfic) -5-

I slammed my head against the dashboard as Edward, chalky pale just like when I last saw him, got out of the driver seat and walked towards my window. I rolled down my window and glared at him, I wasn't his biggest fan. That's one thing Jacob and I shared in common, we loathed him. I should, being Jacob's loyal girl. Or used to be. "Shouldn't you be at school?" I harshly asked, he didn't mind my cold voice.

"I just wanted to say good bye." He calmly replied. I looked behind him, trying to see his faithful bitch was in the passenger seat. "She's not with me, I left her with Jacob." That made me angry, even though it shouldn't matter anymore because I'm no longer involved with him. "Can we talk?" I was about to tell him to get the hell away from me but he said something before I could open my mouth. "Alice sent me." I smiled, not a lot though, at her name. She was the only vampire I liked. "Thank you," he murmured as I got out of the passenger seat. I motioned a dazed Taylor with my finger that I'll be back in minutes. She didn't even nod while Edward steered me the other side of his car. "Where are you going?"

"I thought you knew, being a mind reader and all." I retorted, looking down on the wet ground. The rain was falling harder every second while we leaned against his car.

"You're original plans were to go to Maryland, now Alice is seeing something different. It changes a lot. Montana, Texas, but the most recent place was New York. We're worried about you, we don't know if you're going to be okay or not."

"Why should you care anyways?" I was shaking, from either being too cold or too upset. Honestly I never felt cared for those past months and as much as I hate to admit the Cullen's made me feel safe and comfortable. Not that I hung around them much, Jake always kept me a good distance. But whenever I got some free time one of them, mostly Edward or Rosalie, would accompany me doing whatever, despite my many protest. "I'll be okay. Taylor's always been like that. Maybe she'll drag me to China one of these days, she randomly brought me to Mexico twice so I wouldn't be surprised." That made both Edward and I laugh. "I'll be fine, not like I'm going to kill myself or something." For some reason that made Edward twitch. I didn't want to ask questions, I was anxious to leave soon. "Just, please, stop worrying about me. I'm a big girl, despite my size. I can take care of myself. No asshole is going to ruin my life."

Edward laid his icy hand on my shoulder, gave me a quick hug, too, but long enough to whisper my ear "We'll try, but I can't guarantee we will." He let go but kept his hands firm on my shoulders. "What should I tell Jacob?" I stepped back, hurting my shoulders when I pulled away from his grip. I choked, just thinking of him. I originally wanted to tell him nothing but this was a great opportunity. I felt a small grin grow on my face thinking about his reaction, having Edward tell him.

"Tell him he got what he wanted," I paused. This was what the bastard deserved, he was a good man. Note my sarcasm there. "And- never mind. I really have to go." Edward grabbed my arm lightly and his golden eyes stared down at me.

"If you ever need anything, please, come to us." I gave a small smile and escaped into Taylor's SUV. The whole way to the airport I was bombarded with questions about Edward from Taylor, who obviously took an instant attraction to him. I became very annoyed very quickly.
