A/N: Sorry for taking so long and for deleting this chapter, but it was pathetic and just plain awful. I needed to rewrite it, and I'm so glad that I did. And sorry to those of you who love Bella, but there's some Bella hating in this chapter. By that, I mean that I kind of made her out to be naïve and completely oblivious. But as Taylor Lautner said as Mariana on SNL, "I do think that Bella is a whiny do-nothing that doesn't deserve either of them." ("them" refers to Edward and Jacob.)
Now, on with the fic!
2. Blackout
Jacob POV
Shit, Shit, SHIT! This isn't happening! How can I possibly imprint on Edward fucking Cullen?! This just doesn't make any sense!
What the hell? What's going on? Why is he thinking that? What's an imprint?
Edward is asking a lot of questions. Wait…his lips aren't moving…can I…read his mind?
I guess he is kind of cute…NO! NO! WHAT AM I THINKING?!
What am I going to do? Okay, okay, calm down Jake. Let's figure this out. You didn't imprint on Edward. You love Bella. She's beautiful and sweet and sexy. You are in love with her.
"Blehhhh!"
What the Hell? Did I just gag? What is going on here?
"My sentiments exactly," Edward said in a verbal response to my thoughts.
"Bella, I need to go hunt right now. I can't take being around all these humans any longer. I'm so thirsty, and it's killing me. Is it okay if I leave? I know this is sudden and out of the blue, but I can't stand it."
Thank God I didn't hunt yesterday. My eyes are probably black enough to convince her.
"Uh…?" said Bella with a confused expression on her face. She was so confused, and I felt really bad having to ditch her like I was about to do, but there was no other way.
"Um, Bells, is it okay if I go with him? I mean, ugh, he is a fucking bloodsucker, but if it makes you happy, I'm going to try to get to know him" I said in the most disgusted voice I could produce. It was extremely hard to sound disgusted at my beautiful Edward, but I think I sounded convincing enough. And apparently Bella thought so too.
"O.M.G. You would do that for me?! I love you so much Jake! You really are the best friend a girl could have," Bella gushed happily while giving me the biggest hug she had ever given me before. I felt truly awful knowing that I was going to have to fight her for her boyfriend. But not awful enough to let her just have him. He was the center of my world and would be that for the duration of my life, and it was my duty to do whatever I could to win over my beautiful hunk of man.
"He's right, Bella. I'll try to make things work with your little shape-shifter," said Edward, and I could tell he meant it. There was a look in his eyes filled with love and honesty, but there was something wrong about it. I could also see pain and loss in his deep black eyes. He was beginning to just barely understand the reality of what imprinting is, and he could feel the pull too. Although he had no idea what was going on, it was apparent that he knew whatever it was, it meant he was going to hurt Bella. It could not be avoided. All the hurt and sorrow he was feeling, I was feeling too. I mean that in more than one way. Not only was I going through the same pain about having to hurt my best friend, but I was also feeling his pain. It was like some sort of empathic ability. I was channeling his emotions and could feel each one as if it was my own. All those feelings of hurt and distress made me want to just curl up in the fetal position and cry for all of eternity.
"Alright then, I guess I'll see you guys later. Have fun getting to know one another!" Bella said, yanking me away from Edwardland and bringing me back to earth.
Things are getting far too weird. How can I read his mind and feel his emotions? And why did I gag when I thought about my love for Bella?
"Blehhhh!"
And why did I just gag again?! This is not making sense. Nothing like this has ever happened to me.
"Alright, well, we'll see you later Bella," said Edward, his voice like honey. It was music to my ears.
Edward laid his car keys and the money for the food on the table and kissed Bella lightly on the lips. A violent pang of jealousy and possessiveness hit me like a ton of bricks and spread through me like wildfire. It filled every fiber of my being.
Get the fuck off my man, bitch!
Edward then stepped back, and he looked a little sick, if that was possible. He turned to me with a look of nausea, confusion, and happiness all at the same time. What is that expression supposed to mean?
Edward and I started to move toward the exit. We stepped out of the restaurant and walked into the parking lot. We hopped into my car, and I took a moment to allow the beautiful sound of the engine rumbling calm myself down from my bizarre jealousy.
We drove in silence for a little while, which I hate, so I decided to try to talk about the issue floating through both of our minds.
"Edward, what the fuck is going on here? AHH!!!" There was a sharp pain in my stomach. This was the worst cramp I had ever had. It was like someone was thrusting a knife into my gut and wouldn't stop forcing it in. Suddenly, everything went black…
Edward POV
"Jacob." No response.
"Jacob!" Still nothing.
"JACOB!" Nope.
Jacob was sitting limp in his seat while I was holding the wheel. He had fainted for God knows what reason. I pulled over onto the side of the rode and got out of the car. Moving at top speed, I moved Jacob into the passenger seat and buckled myself into the driver's side in 1 second flat. Driving at 200 mph, we were flying down the street in an effort to get to Carlisle at the house. The only thing I could think of was saving Jacob.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The sharpest, most agonizing stomach cramp overcame me. I hadn't had a cramp in about 100 years, so the pain was twice as bad. Slowly, the pain was beginning to fade, as was my vision. Things were going fuzzy, and before I knew it, the world was going dark, while my foot was still flooring the gas pedal. Blackout.
A/N: Oh no! What is going on here? Tune in next chapter to find out! lol. But seriously, please review if you love me and this story. Oh yeah, I went there. :)
