Summary:  Buffy and Jacob came face to face with the last person they expected to find in Cleveland of all places!

PhoenixRae's Notes:  What can I say?  I saw this and an idea to continue on with my Twilight characters drabbles just got irked yet again.  The other three stories that coincides with the timeline for this drabble are: Help Me Heal; So You're Him; & The Healing Process.

SPOILER ALERT:  Like I haven't put up this warning in the three previous fics, but again if you haven't read the entire series, this chapter will contain/mention instances that happened in the books so consider yourselves warned.

Some Wounds Aren't Meant to Heal

BUFFY FELT THE MAN beside her tense.  Standing not too far from where she and Jacob Black were at was a woman with dark hair and eyes so blue and skin so pale she looked like an Albino, but a quick glance at the handsome man standing beside him, his arm interlocked with hers, and Buffy knew who she was.

        "Bella," she whispered and again felt Jacob tensed.

        Faith and Dawn were walking behind them and nearly walked straight into the blonde Slayer and the Wolf when they stopped without warning.

        "Hey!" Faith and Dawn complained and gave the two in front of them a shove.

        Buffy and Jacob ignored them.  Their eyes were busy locking with the two figure standing at least a yard away from them.

        "Do you want to go?"  Buffy asked her companion but her eyes was trained on the dark haired woman.

        "Yes...no...I don't fuckin' know," Jacob hissed while he clenched and unclenched his hands to fists at his side.

        "Well you better make up your mind soon because they're moving towards us," Buffy said and looked away from Bella Swan -- er Cullen now since she married the handsome Edward Cullen who was with her right now.  If he could read her mind right now he was doing a helluva good job concealing his reaction.

        Damn you, Edward Cullen! she snarled at the handsome vampire.  I told you Jake's not ready yet and yet you dragged your pretty little vampy wife across the country to see him?  I could stake you both and be done with you, she threatened.

        Edward gave her an apologetic smile when they were close enough and mentally conveyed to her, I told you Bella's stubborn.  I told her the mutt wasn't ready to see her, but she insisted and twisted my arm.  And Alice dropped a bug in her ear about Jacob healing now and wouldn't mind seeing her.

        "As if," Buffy snorted out loud.

        Jacob and Bella frowned at the blonde Slayer.  Buffy cocked an eyebrow at the surprised look the two former best friends gave her, then to Bella she said, "Your loving husband just told me why you two are here."

        Bella turned and glared at her husband.  "In as much as I appreciate his help, I'd rather he converse with people we're about to meet out loud as opposed to telepathically."

        "I guess some habits are hard to break," it was Jacob who spoke, his eyes burning a hole through the dark haired vampire's head.

        Faith and Dawn stepped back and watched the interaction between the two former best friends and the vampire that stood between their happiness and eventually won Jacob's mate's heart and hand in marriage.  It was nice to finally put a face to the infamous Bella that Jacob's been moping around about.

        Although the meeting was brief, by the time the vampire couple left, the tension in the air was still zinged with Jacob's deep-seethed anger.  Buffy reached out and touched a hand to the young man's arm and gave it a pat.

        "Let it go, Jake," she whispered.  "Just let it go."

        Jacob Black took a deep gulp of air and stood at his full height.  He watched until he could no longer see the back of Bella Cullen's head.  It was a cordial meeting, but nothing was resolved.  She was a vampire; he a wolf.  They were sworn enemies and whatever they had before would only remain a part of a past that neither one of them could revisit anymore.
