Bella POV

"I'm in love with you, Bella," Jacob said then pulled me to him, and kissed me.

His hold on me was too tight, for me to break free, so I had to wait until it was over. Finally, he let me go, and I turned my fury loose on him. I punched him as hard as I could, and felt the bones in my hand crack. I was in severe pain.

"Don't just stand there, you idiot, take me home!" I screamed while cradling my injured hand to my chest.

"Bella, you should have known better than to punch me," he said as we walked to his car.

"Shut up, just shut the fuck up! I wouldn't be hurt if you could just accept that I love Edward and not you," I told him.

"So stubborn," he mumbled.

When we got back to Charlie's, I called Edward so he could come and get me. I knew I would have to see Carlisle. I wasn't looking forward to it either. I could just imagine what kind of teasing I was going to get from Emmett.

While I was waiting on Edward, I let Jacob have another earful after he tried to wrap his arm around my waist. I jerked away from him and glared at him.

"Don't you touch me, you overbearing, obnoxious, moronic, DOG!" I yelled.

Jacob just rolled his eyes and gave me a smug grin.

"I can't wait until Edward gets here. I hope he breaks you in half. I hate you Jacob Black!" I screamed.

I was never so glad to see Edward's car skid to a stop in all my life. He jumped out of his car, and came over to me.

"It's alright now, I'm here, love," he said softly.

"You are just overreacting, Bella. You're being ridiculous," Jacob said.

Edward whirled around to face him looking every bit the vampire that he is. He got in Jacob's face.

"You! How dare you put your hands on her, mutt! What the hell were you thinking?" Edward asked through gritted teeth.

"He wasn't. He's a complete moron," I said under my breath, but I knew both of them heard me.

"You kissed me too, Bells," Jacob said grinning.

"I did not!" I screamed.

Charlie came running out of the house then, and got between Edward and Jacob.

"What's going on here, guys?" he asked.

"Bella hurt her hand when she punched me," Jacob answered.

"Punched you? Why would you do that, Bells?" Charlie asked.

"I kissed her, and she slugged me," Jacob replied, before I could answer.

"I take it she wasn't happy about it, then," Charlie said.

"No, I wasn't. I'm furious and I want him gone from my sight," I said.

"Jake, I'm sure you had your reasons, but I can't agree with what you did. Bella's right, you need to go," Charlie told him.

"I'm letting you know now that if you ever again put your hands on her without an invitation, I will make you pay," Edward growled.

"Go home, Jacob. Let everything cool off for a bit. And Jake, heed Edward's words. I won't stop him if there is a next time," Charlie said.

Jacob glared at Edward while he got in his car. He pulled out of the drive way, and was gone. Charlie went back in the house. Edward put me in his car, and took me to his house.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that, love. I wish I had been there to break his jaw for you," Edward said as we walked into the garage of his house.

Emmett and Rosalie were working on his jeep.

"What's up with the sourpuss face, Belly?" Emmett asked.

"Not now, Em, I've got to get Carlisle to look at her hand," Edward told him.

"Did you trip and fall down again?" Emmett asked grinning.

"No, I punched a werewolf in the face, for putting his nasty mouth and paws on me," I answered crossly.

"Damn, Jacob is an idiot with some balls even if he is a mutt," he said as I walked on in the house.

If I had my way about it, he'd be without them by now, I thought as I went in search of Carlisle.

Edward POV

I hated that Bella was hurt and mad, but I was damn proud of her, for standing her ground and telling the mutt where to get off. It's about time. I am sick to damn death of that mutt always sticking his stinking ass in our business where it doesn't belong.

I followed Bella in the house and up to Carlisle's office. He was there going over some case files of his patients.

Bella POV

I went to Carlisle's office first knowing that since he was home he would most likely be there. Edward was right behind me by the time I got to the door.

"Come in, children," he said before I could knock.

"Sorry to bother you, Carlisle, but I was wondering if you could look at my hand," I told him after entering the room.

He smiled his fatherly smile at me and waved me over to his desk.

"Of course, my dear, you know I'm always here if you need me. May I inquire as to how you've gotten injured?" he asked taking my hand in his gently.

"I got mad and punched my ex-best friend in the face," I told him.

He looked at Edward who was scowling.

"I see and what brought that on, my dear?" he asked as he examined my fingers.

"He freaking kissed her!" Edward growled.

"I see. Well, I'm not happy about you getting hurt, but I am proud of you for standing up to him," he told me.

"I wish I could have done damage to him and not me. Just wait till I become a vampire, and he pisses me off," I said in a mumble.

Carlisle and Edward both chuckled.

"It's not funny, guys. Think how either one of you would have felt, if it had been a female, who you didn't have feeling for forcing a nasty kiss on you. Blah, damn dog breath of his was nasty shit," I said as Carlisle was now wrapping my hand.

"I'm sorry, love. I know it's not funny, but hearing you being so vocal about it makes me find it humorous. It's about time he got what was coming to him," Edward said as he leaned in to kiss my head.

After my hand was wrapped, Edward and I went to his room to chill out.
