I own nothing SM does

Bella's Pov

I wish I could say I was happy with everything in my life. Lately having Edward treat me like I am an inferior little child is getting on my nerves. I chose him over everyone in my life. Sometimes I wonder if I really did make the right choice for myself. I know one thing for sure, I missed Jake. My happy, loving best friend whom always made me feel better. Lately, everytime I thought of him my heart hurt.

I stood looking out my window watching the leaves fall from the trees. I haven't seen Jake in a month. He wouldn't return my phone calls or come around any more. I hated that I had hurt him. I watched as the sun began to set turning the tree's a deep shade of red and yellow. It was beautiful, but it reminded me of one of the time's I had visited Forks as a child. Jake and I had played in the falling leaves, damn my heart was really hurting. I needed my best friend back, now everytime I thought of Edward I thought of what I was loosing with him.

I sat back on my bed for a while, I didn't know what to do. Edward would be here any minute and I would feel gulity for feeling the way I do. I know I shouldn't feel guilty for what I feel but I always do.

I looked up at the window as I heard a rock hit it. Who the hell would throw a rock. I got off my bed and looked down from the window to see the last person I would ever of expected to see, Sam Uley.

"Sam what's up?" I asked as soon as my window was open, still confused to see him.

"I need to talk to you Bella." He said crossing his arm's over his bare chest. His face held no emotion.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute." I said before closing my window. I threw on my coat as I made it downstairs. My dad looked up at me from his game.

"Where are you going Bell's?" He asked.

"Um, Sam Uley called me. He's outside says he needs to talk to me about something." He looked suprised as I walked towards the door.

"Sam, huh. As long as it's not Edward I don't mind." Dad said before taking a sip of his beer and turning back to the game.

"Thanks Dad." I yelled. Sam was standing by my truck when I walked outside.

"What's up Sam?" I asked as I apporched him.

"I need your help Bella, it's Jake." My heart dropped as he said the last part.

"What's wrong with Jake?" I asked quickly.

"He hasn't phased back to human since he last saw you, he's upset. All he does is lay in the woods not moving, not eating. If any of us even try to get close he snaps. I don't know when the last time he has eaten. He's going to die if he does not eat something soon." Sam said. He looked angry at saying the last. I could the faint rumble of a growl from his chest.

I doubt my heart could fall any further then it already had. My Jake was in trouble, wait my Jake where in the hell did that come from?

"What can I do Sam? I don't want him like this."

"Bella he Imprinted on you. The only thing that could help him is you being with him. His wolf know's you went off with the enemy. He's mourning the loss of his mate." I bit my lip as I thought about what he said.

"What's Imprinting Sam?" I asked looking at Sam confused.

"It when us wolves find our mate's. The person we are suppost to be with for the rest of our lives. A wolf would do anything for his imprint, be anything for her, a brother, a firend, and most of all a protector. He imprinted on you and now he feels like he's lost you."

"Sam why didn't he tell me?" I asked anger and confusion running through me.

"He imprinted the moment you chose Edward over him. You broke his heart and now because of it, he may die." Sam growled the last part. His eyes held anger towards me. I couldn't blame him for feeling angry towards me, and the fact that one of his pack brother may die because of me. My head started to spin, I had to sit down.

I walked to the front steps and sat down, puting my head in my hands. I couldn't live in a world that didn't have Jacob in it. But could I give up Edward and really be happy with Jacob?

Jacob, the one whom I had been worrying about for days, the one whom I missed and felt like a hole had been ripped in me without him. Things hadn't been the same since Edward had come back. He treated me like a doll, a nice little porcelain doll that need to be put up on a high shelf and protected. Jacob had never done that, he had always treated me like someone who could take care of themselves.

I looked up at Sam's pleading eyes. He wanted me to help his friend, his brother, I hated that because of my desion I had put a hole in the pack. I knew I had to fix it anyway I could.

"Sam take me to Jake." Sam looked at me unsure of what he should do.

"If I take you to Jake and you turn around and reject him we will lose him." I nooded my head meeting Sam's eyes

"Jake needs me as much as I need him. I've been miserable without him, I won't loose him. I'll do anything I have to, anything to keep him in my life. I couldn't live my life without him." Sam closed his eye for a moment. I think he was trying to deside if I was really telling the truth.

"Okay, if you want go to him, I will take you." He said opening his eyes again looking at me with sadness.

"Let me go tell my dad I'm leaving to go see Jake." I said standing up about to walk back into the house.

"Is that going to be a problem?" Sam asked a little worried.

"No I don't think so. Dad's been worried about Jake ever since Billy told him he was not coming home."

I made it back into the house as in record time "Dad" I yelled as I came back in.

"Bella, what the hell you yelling about?" He asked standing up from his chair.

"Dad, Sam found Jake." I said with a smile on my face. My heartbeat quickend at the thought of seeing my best friend again.

"Where the hell is that kid? His dad is worried sick." Charlie said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm not sure, but Sam knows. I guess Jake's really depressed. Sam wanted me to try and talk him out of it. Maybe try and convince him to come home." I said hopeful.

"Bells it's getting late." Dad said just a little bit sceptical.

"Dad he needs me, it's Jake were talking about here." Charlie sighed then nodded.

"Go to him. Get him to come home." I smiled and hugged him.

"Thanks dad."

I ran upstair to grab my backpack as quickly as possible. I stopped in the kitchen making a few sandwhichs for Jake. I was hopeing I could get him to eat. I put the baggie full of sandwhiches in my small backpack before running out the door. I looked around for Sam but didn't see him anywhere. He wouldn't have left without me.

I heard a low bark towards the wood. I looked over and saw a large black wolf standing just behind the trees. I had never seen Sam in wolf form, well there was the time in the meadow but I hadn't known it was him at the time.

I walked closer to Sam knowing we were going to be hiking if Sam had phased.

"Sam." I said as I made it closer to the wolf. The giant wolf nodded it's head before he layed down motioning for me to climb on his back with his massive head.

"Can I just walk Sam?" He growled softly till I shook my head and climbed on his back.

I had never been much of a horse girl but sitting on the back of a giant was so much different yet the same. The only difference was, I knew Sam would not let me fall. Sam trotted off with me on his back into the woods.

I held on the best of I could to his fur while doing my best not to hurt him. My hands gripped the soft black fur as we made out way through the thick woods.

I didn't have time to scream as something hit us from the side. I fell from Sam's back, I knew the impact should come quickly but it never came. I opened my eye's looking at familiar topez eye's.

"Edward what the hell is wrong with you?" I wiggled till he put me down. I looked over at Sam who trotting back towards me after being thrown about a hundred feet. He put his head down and growled at Edward.

I watched as Sam came closer the fur on his back standing up. I saw red on Sam's front paw on his left side as I noticed a slight limp in Sam's walk also, Edward had hurt him.

"You ass you hurt him." I yelled pulling away from Edward as he reached for me. "No don't touch me, you had no right to attack us. No right to hurt him, he wasn't doing anything wrong." I glared at Edward as I moved closer to Sam he was putting all his weight on his legs so I knew Edward hadn't hurt him to bad.

"Isabella, do you really expect me to just let you ride off on a wolf's back? He has no controll over his wolf. I won't allow you to be anywere near him, now get over here and we will go back to your house." He said as he stretched his hand towards me.

I glared at him as I moved closer to Sam, Edward was making my decision to leaving him so much easier. "No, I am going with Sam to see Jake. I don't care what you say it my decision."

"You would choose these dogs over me Isabella?" I glared at him letting all the fustration that had been building go.

"Yes Edward, I choose them." I growled as Sam stepped in front of me growling at Edward his head still low. Edward stepped forward towards Sam ready to attack.

"Don't you dare attack him Edward" I yelled sinking my hand into sam's fur trying to calm him.

"Calm down Sam, we have to get to Jake." He looked back at me nodding his head. He layed down again letting me climb on his back. I was worried about him if I was to heavy for him after Edward had hurt him. Edward glared at me as situated my self on Sam's back.

"So that's your desion, you made your bed now Isabella now you'll have to lie in it. Don't come running to me when they tear you up just like Sam did to his girl." He growled at before disappearing into the woods. Sam took back off in the direction we had been traveling. I knew the last comment from Edward had upset him but he was not showing it.

"I'm sorry about that Sam, I'm sorry he attacked you." I said laying my head down against the back of his neck. Sam contiued to run for quite some time. It was almost fully dark by the time we slowed down.

I slid off Sam's back as he stopped and layed down. Sam had told me Jake was bad off, but I had no idea it would be this bad until I saw him.

Jake lay before me his paws over his eyes. He was so skinny, it hurt to see him like this suffering. Jake was a fluffy wolf, so just for the fact that I could see him bone's through all the fur let me know the wolf I cared about was in real danger .

Sam walked forward nugging Jake with his nose. Jake growled and snapped at him, I jumped back in fear. Fear of my best friend, that didn't seem real.

Sam stepped over to me and nudged me closer to Jake with his nose. He must have trusted Jake not to hurt me. I don't believe for a moment that Sam would put me in that kind of danger.

"Jake," I whispered walking closer to him. I watched as his ear's perked up. I moved closer still. He didn't move or growl as I sat next to him gently running my finger' through his soft fur which was matted in some spots.

"Jake please. Phase back and talk to me. You should have told me you imprinted Jake." I watched as Jake kept his paws covered his eyes. He was trying to hide from me.

I leaned forward resting against him, it felt so good to be this close to my friend again. My Jake, it didn't feel so weird saying it again. My Jake, my love, my best friend. Now I just needed him to understand how I felt. I looked over to where

Sam had been standing but he was gone. He really trusted me to bring his pack brother back from the edge.

"Jake I'm sorry about everything that happend. I've missed you so much. Things haven't been the same since Edward came back." I stopped as I heard Jake's growl, I smiled again leaning aginst him. "I've been thinking about you so much. Thinking about what I was loosing with you if I stayed with Edward." He didn't growl this time as I said the name. I stroked my hand through his fur hoping to get him to return to me.

"Jake, I've thought about you so much lately my heart hurts, then when Sam came to me tonight and told me you were in trouble my heart dropped. I couldn't lose you Jake, I want you to be happy and to come home to me where I can take care of you and love you." I was crying by the time I finished my sentance. Jake hadn't moved much since I had started talk but he had uncovered his eye's.

I scooted closer to Jake's head, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I lifted his enormous head and laid it in my lap. I stroked the fur on his head for a few minutes. He made a sound that reminded me of a cat purring.

"Jake when Sam brought me to you, I knew I would do anything to bring you back home to me. Even except your imprinting on me. I broke up with

Edward, he's gone out of my life. I couldn't take him treating me like a porcelain doll all the time. Then when he pushed me off Sam's back tonight that really was the final staw." Jake growled standing up when I said the last part.

"I'm okay Jacob, let's just forget about it. Will you please phase back so we can talk. Please Jake." He looked at me then layed back down whining softly.

"He doesn't know if he can phase back Bella, he has not eaten in a while his energy is really low." Sam said standing at the edge of the tree line.

I pulled out the sandwhichs I brought for Jake. I tore off a large piece holding it in front of his mouth.

"Eat Jake please." He turned his head away from the food and moved his head off my lap.

"Jake eat, your imprint is worried about you. She came to you, you won't be able to protect her from the leech if you can barely stand yourself." Sam said walking closer.

"Please Jake eat. Please, for me." I said holding the food in front of his mouth again. I couldn't help but smile as he took the large bite of sandwhich from me swollowing it whole. I handed him another large part of the sandwhich, I smile as he took it without any promting from me or Sam.

I reopened the bag as he finsihed the first one. He ate what I sat in front of him till all four sandwhichs are gone. Jake layed his head back on my lap, I contined to stroke his fur. I looked up as I felt a rain drop fall on my head, crap just what we need rain.

Sam walked closer to us waiting for Jake to attack him. But it never came, Jake just sat up looking at Sam. Jake nuzzled me with his nose then pushed me up till I stood. Sam nodded at Jake then disappeared into the woods again.

I couldn't help but run my hands through his fur as I stood there. I was so happy so content to have Jacob back in my life.

Sam reemerged from the woods laying down next to us. Motioning for me to climb on his back. Jake pushed me forward with his nose.

"Jake I'm not leaving unless you are going too." He nodded his big head once pushing me again till I got on Sam's back.

I balanced myself as best I could as Sam stood. We both looked back at Jacob waiting to see what he would do. I smiled as he stood a little shakey at first. He walked up slowly next to us, he looked sore like he had been in the same position for a very long time, maybe he had. My heart ached at the thought of that.

Sam ran slower then he had on the way here. Jacob followed us a little father behind. I kept looking back at Jacob making sure he was still there. About a half hour into our travel I noticed other members of the pack had joined us. Many running close to Jacob. Finally we stopped, I looked forward suprised to see that we had already made it back to my house.

I slid off of Sam's back looking at Jacob, I didn't want him to whined looking over at Sam. Sam nodded pushing me a little at first. I thought he wanted me to leave but then I realised he only wanted me to turn away from Jacob while he phased, I prayed that he could do it. I didn't want to leave him alone. I heared the sound of the other wolf around us.

"Bella," I heard Jake call my name. I closed my eyes for a second. The sound of his voice warming my heart. I turned around looking over at Jacob who stood next to Sam in baggy cut off's that someone had given him. I walked forward wrapping him tightly in my arms. I had him back now. My Jacob, my wolf.
