Endless Love

I pointed at the t.v. and laughed.

"Did you see that?" Bella laughed.

I nodded my head, not able to stop my laughing.

"So tell me more about yourself, Eliza. What made you come here?" Bella asked.

I laughed.

"Wow. That is, a really long story." I told her.

She smiled softly, laying her head back against the couch.

I looked around, saw Edward sitting on the couch, pretending to watch the program.

I smiled at his effort.

Then I looked at the guys on the opposite side of the room, trying to sit as far from Edward as possible.

They were in no way trying to hide their curiosity.

I laughed.

"I've got time." Bella said politely.

I situated myself so I was more comfortable.

"Well, let's just say, that I was definitely not a poster child." I told them.

The guys chuckled and Edward turned to look a me quickly.

But his smile told me he knew exactly what I was talking about.

"We can talk about me another time. What I want to know, is about you two." I said, wiggling my finger between Edward and Bella.

Edward's face was unbelievably smooth, like stone.

Completely perfect and flawless.

I can see the appeal.

Edward is definitely not hard on the eyes.

I saw Bella turn to look at Jacob at Edward and there was a blush going across her cheeks.

Edward smiled widely and reached out for her hand.

"We've been together since I moved here two years ago." Bella said.

I heard Jacob abortion and I looked at him with a question stare.

"Come on Bells. Don't hold out. Tell her it all." Jake said.

Bella flared at him and I saw Edward flinch.

"Okay, what's going on?" I asked, looking between all of them.

It was extremely silent.

"Jacob Black, what are you doing?" I asked.

"He's being a jerk." Bella spat.

I looked at her.

I didn't think she was capable of looking intimidating, but she actually pulled it off.

Her face was hard, her eyes blazing.

"It's okay Bella. You don't have to say anything." I told her.

"I left Bella." Edward said softly.

It was almost a whisper.

But it was filled with so much pain.

"Edward." Bella said softly.

I looked at her and her eyes were wide. She stood up and went over to Edward, kneeling in front of him.

"No Bella. Jacob has every right to be angry. He hasn't forgiven me. Nor have I forgiven myself." Edward murmured.

"Edward." Bella said again.

He grasped her hand tightly, brought it up to his lips.

"I've forgiven you. Thats all that matters." Bella said.

Edward smiled, but you could still see the sadness there.

"Bullshit." Jacob growled.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" I asked.

Edward looked up at me, but didn't get a chance to speak.

"He left her. And it damn near killed her." Jacob growled.

"It was hell for both of us Jacob. Why don't you just leave. Your only heard to place blame, and we don't need that." Bella said angrily.

I looked at her and nodded in appreciation.

"She's right Jacob. Im sure there was a good reason. And he's back now and she's happy." I told him.

He looked down, still muttering.

"So what was the reason?" I asked, looking at Edward.

"I thought I was doing what was best for her." He said.

"Yeah the thing with doing what's best for a person, is that most of the time, they do not agree with you." I said.

"That is most certainly true." Edward said.

"Well, I'm sorry that that happened. But you should focus on the positive. Your both together and your happy. Now as long as it stays that way, you should all be good." I said.

They both grinned.

"So I've always wondered, since your vampire, how can you come out during the day?" I asked.

Edward chuckled and Bella looked surprised.

"How did you know?" She asked.

She looked over at Jacob and her eyes narrowed.

"I thought your not supposed to tell people about stuff like that." She exclaimed.

"She had a right to know." Jacob shot back.

"I have no idea how you deal with him." Bella muttered.

I laughed until I caught on to what he was saying.

"Oh we're n--," But my cell ran before I finished.

I flipped it open.

"Hello?" I asked.

"You forgot to call." Paul's worried voice rang through.

I smiled instantly, not realizing how much I'd missed hearing his voice.

"I'm sorry baby. I totally forgot. I'm totally fine though. Having a lot of fun. Bella actually thought me and Jake were an item." I said with a laugh.

I heard him growl.

"Why the hell would she think that?" He asked.

"Cause he told me about Edward." I said simply.

He was quiet for a minute.

"Is that bloodsucker behaving?" He asked.

I chuckled a I looked over at Edward as he grinned.

I shook my head.

"He's being polite as I expected him to be. Your brother on the other hand, could use another lesson in manners." I said, shooting Jacob a look.

Paul laughed and we chatted for another couple of minutes before promising to call on our way back.

"Love you." I said before hanging up.

"Who was that?" Bella asked, interest paced in every word.

"My boyfriend, Paul." I said.

Her eyes widened.

"Paul?" She asked again.

I nodded and tried not to laugh at the terrified look on her face.

"You have to tell me that story." Bella urged.

I laughed and sat back.

"Where to begin." I laughed.
