Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #25

JACOB:

What? The pearly gates? If we hadn't

heard you scream --

SAM:

Get her home. I'm heading to the

hospital. I'll meet you there.

Jacob nods. Sam jogs off.

JACOB:

Why would you jump? Didn't you notice

it's like a hurricane out here?

BELLA:

I know. It was stupid --

(realizing)

-- Sam said hospital - someone's hurt?

JACOB:

Harry Clearwater had a heart attack.

BELLA:

Oh my God - does my Dad know?

JACOB:

He and my dad are both over there.

BELLA:

Will Harry be okay?

JACOB:

I don't know. Come on. I'll find you

something dry and drive you home.

As Jacob helps Bella up, we RACK FOCUS out to --

ANGLE ON THE WATER - where Victoria bobs, watching Jacob

guide Bella away... then she disappears below the surface.

INT. BELLA'S TRUCK - NIGHT

Jacob drives. Bella wears a fleece jacket but still

shivers. He pulls her close, wrapping an arm around her --

JACOB:

Hundred and eight degrees over here.

She tucks herself into him.

BELLA:

Must be nice, never getting cold.

82.

JACOB:

It's a wolf thing.

BELLA:

It's a Jacob thing. You're just...

warm.

JACOB:

(grins)

Like the sun.

BELLA:

(meaning it)

Like the sun.

JACOB:

Which always comes back. You can

count on me.

She nods. Awkward silence. He fills it.

JACOB:

There are other cool things about all

this, like -- I heal fast. Wanna see

me stab my hand?

BELLA:

(no!)

Yeah, `cause that would be fun.

EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE/INT. TRUCK (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

The truck pulls up to the curb. It's pitch black outside.

Jacob's still holding her close as he shuts the engine off.

BELLA:

So... this wolf thing's not all bad?

JACOB:

It's better. Now that you know.

But...

BELLA:

... but...

JACOB:

It just... comes so easily to me.

More than the other guys.

BELLA:

That's a good thing, isn't it?

83.

JACOB:

Maybe. Or maybe it makes me less...

human than the others.

(beat, quieter)

Sometimes I'm scared I might...

disappear, you know? Who I really am.

Bella faces him, looks directly in his eyes.

BELLA:

I won't let that happen.

Their faces are close... and stay close for an intimate

beat. They could kiss, their lips near... but Bella blinks

herself back to reality and pulls away.

BELLA:

Thanks for driving - for everything.

-- as she pushes open her door. WIND wafts in -- Jacob

reacts to a repugnant smell outside --

JACOB:

Holy crap -- !

He abruptly pulls Bella back into the truck, SLAMS her door

shut and starts the truck.

JACOB:

There's a bloodsucker out there.

BELLA:

How do you know?

JACOB:

I can smell the stink. I'm getting

you out of here.

As Jacob whips the truck around, the HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATE --

BELLA'S POV - THE DRIVEWAY -- a black Mercedes is parked in

front. Bella spins to the rear window as Jacob floors it --

BELLA:

Stop! It's not Victoria --

JACOB:

Forget it --

BELLA:

It's Carlisle's car! They're here.

Go back! --

84.

JACOB:

It's a trick --

He's still flooring it -- Bella cracks her door open while

they're moving - he SLAMS on the brakes. She jumps out --

JACOB:

Damn it, Bella --

EXT. ROAD (CONTINUOUS) - NIGHT

Bella hurries up the road toward her house. Jacob's

suddenly standing in front of her, furious --

JACOB:

Stop. You gotta come with me.

BELLA:

It's okay. They're my friends --

JACOB:

Don't you get it? If a Cullen is back

here, this is their territory. The Treaty

says we can only defend our own lands.

BELLA:

-- It's not a war --

JACOB:

It is. And you'll only be safe in La

Push. I can't protect you here anymore.

BELLA:

I don't need you to --

JACOB:

-- You're about to cross a line --

BELLA:

Only if you draw one.
