You Grew Up

Chapter 14

Previously on YUG?:
"We're not going to be in town Izzy." He snaps me out of my thoughts.

"What? Why?" I question.

"Well you, Sammy, dad, your dad, Bobby and I are leaving three days before Christmas. No before you ask I'm not going to tell you where we're going." Dean smirks.

Izzy

I had to text Jake today. I hope this goes as planned. Dean wrapped his hands around my waist.

"Have you texted him?" He asks.

"Nope, I've done nothing, but stare at the phone." I say.

"I think we need to get this over with already." Sam says.

"Ugh fine I'm texting him." I say dialing the number.

Jake it's me. When and where do you want to meet. -Bella

Have you told anyone? -Jake

No I haven't. I'm saying goodbye to them tonight. Unless you are not ready. -Bella

I'm ready. Meet in the clearing. Midnight. Don't bring anyone or else Isabella! -Jake

I'm coming alone Jake. Don't use my full name see you soon. -Bella

I threw my phone and screamed. Dean pulled me into his lap. I sighed and leaned back.

"Midnight in the clearing." I tell Sam who is on the phone with Paul.

Sam Uley didn't want anything to do with this so he put Paul in charge. Paul was loving it because he always thought Jake needed to be put down a couple of notches.

"Paul says thanks Bellsy Boo." Sam laughs.

"Oh for fucks sake give me the phone." I growl.

"Sam man why are you not answering me."

"Because Bellsy Boo here has a problem with the name." I growl.

"Ah girl you know I love you."

"Some times that can be scary." I laugh.

"Well thanks for letting us know. We'll start patrol around there at eleven."

"Okay see you at eleven thirty." I toss Sammy back his phone.

Dean

It's ten fifty and Izzy is pacing back and forth. I grabbed her by the shoulders and stopped her. I stood in front of her and looked down at her.

"Baby you've gotta calm down." I tell her.

"What if something goes wrong?" She sighs.

"Nothing will go wrong. Seth isn't phased he's on standby. If anything happens we'll know." I tell her.

"I love you Dean." She says squeezing me.

Izzy

Eleven thirty and we're heading towards the clearing. I was nervous as hell and I've been a hunter for a while now. The pack was still circling the area and would be until ten til midnight. Seth walked up to us.

"Hey Bells." He hugs me.

"Hey. Any sign?" I ask.

"Nope, none. Either he's not close yet or he's not phasing." Seth says.

"He's probably not close." Dean says.

"Well baby this is where we leave you. In ten minutes text Jake and tell him you're getting close." Dean tells me.

"I know and it's not in ten it's fifteen." I hug him tightly.

"I'll see you soon baby." He says.

Fifteen minutes later I texted Jake.

I'm here alone and waiting. -Bella

Give me ten. -Jake

"Ten minutes guys." I say into the earpiece.

You're doing great kid. Charlie

He won't hurt you Bells. Sammy

Love you Angel. Dean

"I'm here with you don't worry." Castile says from besides me.

"What?" I gasp in shock.

"Don't worry he won't be able sense me omr see me. No one but you can." He says.

Angel who are you talking to? Dean

"No one a squirrel jumped out and scared me." I lie.

Jake steps through the trees ten minutes later on the dot. He smiled the old smile I once knew. This is going to end badly.

"I love you guys." I say looking at the sky.

You're not saying goodbye Angel. Dean

"Ah Bella. Do you know how much I love you?" He says.

"Jake why are you doing this?" I ask.

"Because you are my mate." He snarls.

"What?" I say.

"You're mine." He says.

"I'm not your imprint. I'm not your mate Jake! I used to be your best friend! What happened to that Jake? The one who was like a little brother to me..." He cut me off.

"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear anymore from you!" He comes towards me.

"Jake please don't do this." I say again.

"If I can't have you what makes you think your hunter friend can have you?" He growls.

"Close your eyes Isabella." Castile says.

I close my eyes like I was told.

"Focus on the shield you have blocking your mind. Picture it a rubber band." He instructs me.

I seen a thin line and focused on it. I'm hoping Jake thought I was praying.

"Now push that line towards him and make a bubble around him." He says.

I picture the line moving towards Jake. I pictured I'm inside a bubble.

"You can open your eyes now." Castile vanishes.

I opened my eyes to see Jake hanging midair. Dean and the rest of them came out from hiding. My dad and John coming up behind him. They each grabbed an arm and held him while the rest killed him.

I ran back to the house and shut the door. I not only just ran three miles, in the dark, through the woods but I was to freak to stop. I threw myself on the bed and started crying. I just killed my friends little brother. My dad watched his best friends son die because of me.
