There just are not enough stories out there with Jacob!! He deserves more – after all he never left Bella! I don't know where exactly this is going to go – and whether or not I continue it is based totally of you guys.
Just know that I hate stories that are all the same – so I will try to make this as different as I possibly can.

Chapter 1:
It was happening all over again. I should have known that it would. Men are repetitive creatures, if they cheat on you once, they'll cheat on you twice. If they leave you once…well, I'll let you come to that conclusion.
Despite all his promises, here I was alone again. I wasn't sobbing in the middle of the woods this time. I don't think that the situation had really set in yet. I was in shock, sitting on top of my bed, staring at god knows what.
He hadn't even have the decency to come tell me this time. He was just going to leave with out saying a word, not a "good bye", "sorry" or even "never try to find us." He would have just been gone. Alice wouldn't take it. She's pissed. She's the one who came and told me what was happening.
She told me about how she was going to stay behind to be with me and when she was strong enough, she would turn me but in the end, she couldn't leave Jasper, and he wouldn't stay here. The temptation of human blood would be too tempting, especially without the support of the rest of his family. Alice would never leave him behind. So she was going with them.
Now that was love. The two would never leave each other. Not like Edward does with me. he was just so…so…
Uhh oh. It was starting to sink in.
I'm not going to cry! I'm not going to cry! I cried to much last time. I became a whole new person – I wouldn't let that happen again.
He had left me. The little sorry bastard left me again.
Stop it Bella! Think of something else. Think of….think of the beach – the ocean crashing against the shore, calming, relaxing…
It wasn't working.
I could feel the anger rising in me. He had left me again. Everything he had said had been a lie.
There was a knock at my bedroom door. If I ignored it, would Charlie go away? No. "I need some time alone right now, dad." I was surprised at my own voice. I had never heard it like that before. It was stressed with so many different emotions which made it sound hoarse and week.
Charlie didn't respond, just opened the door. I mean honestly, doesn't a comment like "I need some time alone right now" mean that I don't want company? – Apparently not. I looked up to ask Charlie to leave but was surprised to be staring into a different face.
"Jacob, what are you doing here?" I hadn't seen him in awhile, thanks to that wonderful little Edward. To think that I almost lost a good friend because of that jerk. Jacob never came to the house anymore. He claimed the scent was too bad, so why was here now, standing in front of me.
"I, um…I noticed…" he was stumbling for the right words, my attitude probably caught him off guard. He took a deep breath and started over. "The pack and I noticed that the Cullens were not in the area, we were wondering if you knew when they might be coming back."
His words some how confirmed everything that Alice had said to me. Yep, it was definitely sinking in. "you couldn't have just called?" I had never heard a voice with less emotion.
"I wanted to see you." That was the phrase that did it for me. That was my breaking point. All the tears came pouring from me. Tears I wasn't aware I even had.
Why didn't Edward want to see me?
Jacob, as confused as he may have been, didn't miss a beat. Immediately he was on my bed, pulling me towards him, rocking me like a baby while I cried.
"They aren't coming back, are they?" I couldn't respond, just started to cry harder. He pulled me closer to him and softly stroked my back while I got all my tears out. I had forgotten how warm he could get along with how comforting his presence was to me. I was able to quiet down faster than if I had been alone, or with anyone else.
"Why did I take him back?" I asked, not really knowing that I was speaking out loud. "why didn't I just stay with you and the rest of the pack?"
It was quiet again, only the occasional whimper that I assume came from me. He never let go of me and I never tried to get away. Who knows how much time flew by before Jake finally broke the silence. "I don't want you to be alone tonight."
"I'll be fine." I said it, but I knew I would have a hard time going to sleep tonight. I didn't want to be alone myself.
"Bella, come back to LaPush with me, I'll talk to Charlie so you don't have to worry about that."
I was surprised to find that I wanted to go with him. I didn't want to stay here in this house. But I wasn't sure if it was the best idea. "I don't…"
"I'll go talk to Charlie." Jake interrupted. He wasn't going to take no for an answer. He got up form the bed and headed downstairs. Alone again in my room, I could feel the tears start to come back up. I wanted Jacob back up here. Luckily, it didn't take him long.
"Get what you need for the night, than we'll head up to my place."
"What did you tell Charlie?" I asked curious as to what he had said to convince him
"That we were going to run off to Vegas, get married and give him plenty of little grandkids to spoil." For some reason this made me smile. That was something that I could do with Jacob that I could never do with Edward. Have kids.
WOW – don't know where that though came from.
I got everything that I would need to spend the night somewhere than we left. The drive didn't take long since Jacob's VW Rabbit was faster than my truck. We went strait to Jake's little house and he brought my bag in for me. Billy was sitting in the living room when we got there.
"Bella! Its so good to see you." Billy said when he noticed I was there.
"You too Bill." He could tell something was off with me and looked at Jacob for answers. Jacob just shook his head. He would explain later, when I wasn't there.
"Bella's gunna spend the night tonight, I hope you don't mind."
"I guess it won't hurt anybody." Billy replied.
"Good! Bella, why don't you go get dressed for bed, you know where my room is, you can sleep there tonight." He was treating me like a child, but I didn't care. Exhaustion was setting in, all I wanted was to sleep.
I nodded and headed for his room. After I changed, I glimpsed at his bed. I couldn't go back out there, I needed sleep. I crawled under the covers and immediately could smell Jacobs scent. It was nice, comforting. My eyes shut at the same time that my head hit his pillow. I heard a light knocking, but I was already entering that dream state, so I couldn't remember how to answer.
I heard the door open, and someone walk in. Jacob. He walked to where I was lying on his bed and I felt his hot finger touch my check, catching a tear that had escaped without me knowing. "Oh Bella" he carefully lay down beside me, not wanting to disturb me, than pulled me to him for the second time that night. That was the first night that I fell asleep in another man's arms.
