Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #27

---

Edward reels, uncomprehending.

EDWARD:

I... don't believe it.

ROSALIE:

Alice is there now. Thought she could

help with the funeral or something.

STAY ON ROSALIE as --

ROSALIE:

Come home, Edward. It's time...

Edward...?

She's been disconnected. Off Rosalie, worried...

EXT. BELLA'S HOUSE - DAY

Bella walks Charlie to his cruiser. He wears a dark, ill-

fitting funeral suit. At the car, Bella adjusts his tie --

CHARLIE:

Thanks for understanding, Bells. They

wanted to keep the service small.

BELLA:

Don't worry about me. Are you gonna

be okay?

89.

CHARLIE:

Yeah... but Sue, and those kids --

Leah's only a year older than you.

And Seth's, what, fourteen...

Emotion threatens. She hugs him. He holds on a little too

tightly for a beat. Then he bucks up, climbs into his car.

CHARLIE:

There'll be a reception after. I

might stay late, see if I can help.

Bella nods, then waves as he drives away. She turns to head

back inside but finds Alice suddenly at her side. She jumps.

ALICE:

You're not going?

BELLA:

I'm not the most popular person on the

werewolf rez right now.

ALICE:

(saddened)

Because you're friends with me.

Bella shrugs. Alice hears something, then looks down the

road -- JACOB'S RABBIT appears in the distance....

ALICE:

Huh. Didn't see them coming. Didn't

see him pull you out of the water -

maybe my visions are allergic to dogs.

BELLA:

-- Alice.

ALICE:

(jogging off)

I'll go do some hunting.

ANGLE ON THE RABBIT -- as it pulls up. Jacob drives, Embry in

the passenger seat. Bella approaches, surprised to find QUIL

in the back; same short hair and hard look as the others.

BELLA:

Quil... you, too?

QUIL:

(aggressive)

Yeah. Me, too.

Jacob climbs out. Embry takes the driver's seat.

90.

JACOB:

You alone?

BELLA:

Yes. Shouldn't you be at the funeral?

JACOB:

Had to talk to you first.

(to the guys)

I'll meet you there. Go on.

They're wary... but pull out. Jacob follows Bella into --

INT. BELLA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Jacob enters behind Bella. She turns to him...

BELLA:

Look, Jake, I'm sorry I --

JACOB:

This place stinks to hell.

She sees he's shut down, cold. She shuts down, as well.

BELLA:

You're welcome to leave. In fact --

JACOB:

-- How many Cullens are here and how

long are they staying?

BELLA:

(snapping back)

Just Alice. And she'll stay as long

as she wants.

JACOB:

Are the rest coming back?

BELLA:

Not that I'm aware of. Anything else?

JACOB:

That's it.

BELLA:

Better go report to Sam.

Jacob turns, starts to leave. He looks back, sees her anger

turn to hurt. He stops. Beat.

91.

JACOB:

I've done it again. I keep breaking

my promise not to hurt you.

BELLA:

It doesn't have to be this way.

He moves back to her, looks into her eyes with sadness.

JACOB:

Yeah, it does.

BELLA:

Am I gonna lose you this time, Jacob?

He can't answer that, but he presses his hand to her cheek.

JACOB:

It was easier when we were both human,

wasn't it?

They look at one another, Jacob's hand still on her face,

his eyes searching hers.

Slowly, he starts to bend toward her lips. She doesn't pull

away. She misses him too much, needs him too badly. This

time, she'll let it happen. A kiss is a centimeter away...

Suddenly, the shrill RING of the phone makes them both jump.

Jacob, the closest to it, doesn't move his face, just keeps

looking into her eyes as he reaches for the phone, answers --

JACOB:

Swan residence.

She smiles. But he instantly bristles, voice going cold.

JACOB:

He's not here. He's at a funeral...

Then the phone goes dead --

INT. TENEMENT APARTMENT - RIO DE JANEIRO - SAME

-- Edward stares at his phone crazed, enraged, grief-

stricken -- he HURLS it against the wall, shattering it.

INT. BELLA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - SAME

-- Jacob hangs up the phone.

JACOB:

Filthy bloodsucker.
