NOTICE: I've updated this chapter since my original posting! ^^

Hiya there! This is my second Twilight fanfic, I hope you enjoy! I'm looking for a Beta to read my stories, if anyone is interested! I try to edit out all my mistakes by myself, but sometime's I can't see where I mess up because it makes sense in my own head as I'm reading! Anyway, I should have the next chapter up fairly soon! Please review. It might make the next chapter come faster! Hehe ;D And like it says in the description- this is a ExB story only. Bella and Jacob are only friends here. Sorry, Jacob fans! ;)

I decided to rate this story T because of some minor violence that might come later. Rating may change. Oh, and if you're wondering, I named this story after a song that I thought fit perfectly with this story, "Somewhere" by Within Temptation. I probably will fit that song in as a song-chapter in the next couple of chapters, along with any other songs I see fit. :)

Oh, and for those waiting on my other unfinished story, I'm sorry! I've hit major writer's block with that story that I just can't seem to get rid of. Hopefully I'll update on that one soon too! ^^

Alright, I'm done babbling. On to the story!

"Bella, love, are you sure you'll be okay?" Edward asked, watching as I ran around the room, trying to clean my room before Jacob arrived- Charlie's orders. He sat on my bed, his beauty contrasting my grubby room, looking tense and somewhat sour. I knew this would be hard for him; he still couldn't stand Jacob. We'd made a compromise that Jacob and I would be at my house instead of on the reservation, so that Edward could still reach me if something "went wrong", as he put it, though I told him not to come near this house unless of an emergency; Jacob would be listening- and smelling- to make sure of that, I was sure. I didn't want to have to stop another argument between him and Jacob tonight.

Stopping my busy cleaning, I turned to roll my eyes. "Edward, I know that you don't like Jacob," I started, and I swear I saw his frown deepen by a small fraction- I suppose that was an understatement. Remembering my task, I picked up another shirt. "But he's my friend. Just give him a chance- for me?" I stopped again to pout sadly, protruding my lower lip and giving him my best puppy-dog eyes. He sighed.

"I just can't win with you, can I?" he smirked playfully. Happily, I put down what I'd picked up and threw my arms around his neck, sitting on my bed on my knees. He picked up my legs and swung me around so that I sat on his lap, making me blush furiously, so I buried my face in his neck. He leaned his head against mine, and I could hear him sigh into my hair.

"Just be safe, love," he said quietly. I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that this was so hard for him. With Jacob around, I knew Alice couldn't predict anything about my future, making it that much harder for him.

Pulling back, I looked into his topaz eyes intently. For a moment I felt so dizzied from being so close that I almost forgot what I was going to say, but I recovered by shaking my head slightly. "Nothing will happen, I promise," I assured as I put my hand on his face, gently stroking his marble cheek with my thumb. "Anyway, we're only going to watch a couple of movies. I'm sure I can do that without hurting myself."

Edward laughed melodically. "With you, I'm not so sure…" I pulled my hand back to cross my arms, pouting again, though more out of frustration than a puppy-dog look. He laughed again until my withering look made him stop, though a hint of his smirk still remained. "Love, I'm just worried about that…" he stopped for half a second and I knew he'd stopped himself from using the word dog. I didn't have time to form a harder stare before he continued, "about Jacob. He's still a young werewolf, I'm just not sure-"

"Nothing will happen," I insisted again, leaning back into him, breathing his scent. "I promise."

Edward paused. "Alright, I'll trust you, love. But if he so much as hurts a single hair-"

"Edward!" I said, frustrated, yet I couldn't help but laugh out of exasperation. Edward smiled too, his muscles becoming less tense, and he chuckled too, "I know, I know. I'm just saying."

I turned my head, which still rested against his cold chest, to glance at the clock. "Oh my gosh!" I yelped as I leapt off the bed and doubled my efforts to clean my room. "Jacob will be here any minute!"

"Speak of the devil…" Edward said with disdain in his voice. As I put the last of the clothes into the bin, I turned to look at him and I could tell he was fighting the urge to scrunch his face in disgust. He stood up and walked towards me, straightening his face. "I'd better go." As he wrapped his arms around me, it felt as though he never wanted to let me go, like I'd disappear the moment he left. I returned the embrace as tightly as I could, breathing in his scent one more time. He suddenly pulled back and placed a short, soft kiss on my lips. Before I could become coherent enough to kiss him back, he pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Be safe," he whispered again. And before I could blink, he was gone.

At that very same moment, I heard a knock on the door.

Shaking the dizziness out of my head again, I ran down the stairs to greet Jacob at the door. As soon as I opened the screen door, Jacob had his nose pinched, though he was still smiling. "Geez Bella, maybe you should take a shower…"

"Shut up," I returned with an equally large grin. In the hand not holding his nose, I saw he was holding a pizza with a pile of movies balanced on top.

He laughed as he walked in and put the pizza on the table, picking up two movies, one in each hand. He turned to face me and said, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," raising one movie, then the other, "or E.T.?"

We both paused for a moment before coming to a unanimous and simultaneous conclusion.

"Willy Wonka!"

Three hours, two movies, five cans of soda, and one pizza later, Jacob and I sat on the couch, grasping our sides in laughter on the couch.

"Are you kidding me? We are not watching the Wizard of Oz!" I yelped in laughter, trying not to roll off of my half of the couch.

"And why not?" Jacob asked, feigning a look of hurt.

"Those monkeys freak me out, I swear!" I said, a little more serious. They really did creep me out.

Jacob looked at me. "You're joking right?" When I shook my head, he burst out laughing. I almost tackled him when I heard a door close upstairs. Both Jacob and I froze.

"Was that Charlie?" Jacob asked, both of us no longer in a joking mood.

"I didn't hear him come in…" I said, a little uneasy. I walked quietly to the front door and peered out the peep hole. "His cruiser isn't in the driveway either." I turned and looked at him with a fearful look on my face, noticing he looked just the same.

"Maybe it was one of the Cullens…" I muttered, trying to keep quiet now. I stayed by the front door so I wouldn't have to pass in front of the stairs again.

Jacob shook his head. "I would've smelled th-" Suddenly, he was on the ground as a flash of bright orange streaked by. I looked at his now unconscious form lying on the ground and tried to form a scream, but before I could, an icy hand clamped over my mouth.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Edward, seriously- calm down. You're freaking Jasper out."

Edward, who'd spent nearly the whole of two hours spacing out on the couch, his elbows resting on his knees and his back slouched as he bounced one of his knees and glared at the carpet, turned his fierce look to Alice. Jasper stood nearby, looking rather distressed.

"I'm sorry," Edward murmured sarcastically, "If I'm a little tense because the love of my life is spending time with a potentially killer werewolf. No need for concern, right?"

"Oh yeah, because we're much better!" Emmett joked as he walked into the room. "What's on TV?"

Edward snarled under his breath and looked like he was going to tackle Emmett- who was now nonchalantly sitting in front of the TV on the carpet, sitting cross-legged and looking like a five year-old- though Alice quickly danced in front of him.

"Don't worry, Edward," she said sweetly, a bright smile on her face. "I'm sure she's fine. Anyway, Charlie will be home soon, so Jacob-" She stopped, her eyes glazing over.

Then her eyes widened with terror.

Edward was to his feet in an instant and quickly went to read her thoughts to see whatever image she'd just seen, but she'd already put up a mental block. Emmett and Jasper were now at her side as well.

"No, Edward- you have to go see for yourself. Otherwise you might…" she trailed off as Edward disappeared out of the house and into the woods, running as fast as his legs could manage.

He arrived at Bella's house in less than half a minute, but to him it seemed like an eternity. When he reached the driveway, he stopped dead in his tracks.

He smelled blood.

Bella's blood.
