Another result of boredom.

I was thinking about how self sacrificing little Eddie is, and so I just rambled on for a little while and this is the result. Not fantastic, by any standards, but if you happen to like it, please review :)

I was starting to lose my patience.

I watched Bella tangle her fingers through the spiralled cord of the telephone wire. She waited patiently for him to answer the phone, her mouth slightly open in her readiness to speak. She drummed the fingers of her other hand against the phone that she clutched tightly to her ear. I sighed.

It wasn't as if he had done anything wrong. Far from it.

He had been there for her, when I was not. He had taken care of her, saved her life God knows how many times, and yet I couldn't bring myself to be overly grateful towards him. The reason for this, I knew.

I was jealous of him. Of a dog. I choked back the sound of disgust that rose in my throat, knowing that my disgust for her Jacob would not be something that she would appreciate. The way she spoke of him.....I shuddered internally. It would not do well to harm the..the wolf. He was, truth be told, a much better man that I. Still...

Yes, I had definiteIy lost my patience.

I entertained myself for a few short moments by giving into my less that civil thoughts towards the dog.

Bella's voice jolted me from my less than lovely thoughts.

'Jake?'

Urghh. The dog had picked up the phone, at long last. The sound of longing in Bella's voice sent a lance of pain through my chest. I stayed put, watching her smile as his voice responded. At least he makes her happy....I thought to myself. That is all that I want for her.

I straightened from where I had been leaning against the wall, and shuffled closer to Bella. She saw the movement out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to look at me. Her eyes met mine, and she smiled, a smile that sent warmth flooding through my icy body.

I contented myself by playing with her hair whilst she chatted to Jacob. I didn't listen. I wasn't sure that I wanted to hear. Instead, I continued to talk to myself like the madman I was.

Oh, Bella. How I love you. But what a mess we're in.

And we were in a mess. What was going to happen, now that Jacob had been introduced into the already chaotic picture? As if a normal wolf didn't complicate things enough.

But this wolf was in love with the woman I loved. And I was almost certain that a part of her loved him, too.

Oh, you fool! Was it not to be expected, after all that you put her through? How could he not fall for her? She is beautiful, inside and out. Of course. Is it so suprising that she returned some of his feelings? After all the devotion that he showed her, I'm suprised that she took you back!

I couldn't keep scolding myself forever. Bella had, for some unfathomable reason, taken me back. I was not going to give up the lone reason for my existance.

Unless, of course, she should ever want me to.

I looked up to see Bella smiling at some joke that Jacob had cracked.

Yes, I told myself. If that is what she decided, I would hand over my only love to the boy I despised. I would do it, for her.

Anything for Bella.
