Ugh, sorry this chapter is so darn short! The next two are short also, but they get longer as the story progresses!! Thanks for reading, and if you review and KEEP reading my story, I will make you a cake ;) Disclaimer - I do not own any of the characters in this story, or Twilight (I wish. I could settle for owning Jacob as well :D)

Chapter 1- Mind-Changer

"Bella," Jake pleaded with me, gripping my biceps gently, as if to keep me in front of him. "He didn't want you. Why should you go and save this guy? Stay with me; I would never do that to you! I would never hurt you or…"

"Jacob, He was everything to me," I interrupted his hatred filled ramblings abruptly. "As you may know, I loved him, and I still do. You can't change that." He couldn't keep his eyes on my face, and the utter silence that filled the room was heart wrenching.

"But…" Jake muttered, barely loud enough for me to here.

"But WHAT?!" I screamed at him, making him finally look me in the eyes.

"But, I was hoping maybe I could change your mind." With those words he put his hands on either side of my face and brought his lips to mine urgently, almost violently. I pulled away, with hot tears of confusion coming forth in my eyes.

"Jacob Black," I backed into the kitchen counter, trying to figure out what he was trying to get across. "Why did you just kiss me like you were trying to kill me?" I laughed, trying to lighten up the situation. He sighed, obviously not thinking this was something to joke about.

"Bella, I love you. And if you can't see that, then you must be blind and you must not be able to feel that something is changing. Bella, I think I've imprinted on you, and now you want to literally kill me inside to save a leech that left you with nothing. He left you no dignity, love, hope, happiness, and until we started hanging out, he left you without a smile too. I guess I better be getting to the Clearwater's place. Sue and the kids need some comforting." With that he turned around and began to walk out of the kitchen. I realized what was happening.

"Jake! I know what you're saying, but seriously, I just got out of a seriously horrible relationship!" I heard the front door open, and I tried to catch up with his huge stride, but instead tripped and smacked hard onto the linoleum. I groaned and didn't bother getting up, listening for the door to slam, but it didn't.

"Are you ok, klutzilla?" Jacob was now kneeled next to me, ready to help me up. Oh, so now he wants to be Mr. Nice Guy?

"I am perfectly fine, thank you," I pushed myself off the kitchen floor and frowned at him. "You know, it's not always about your feelings. I am in love with a vampire that decided to leave me and a wolf that decided he's imprinted on me. Now what the hell am I supposed to do?" He laughed, making my jaw drop in total disgust.

"Don't look at me like I'm doing something wrong," He grabbed my chin lightly and pulled my face closer to his. "Isabella Swan, I love you. I would never hurt you like that bloodsucker did. You love me and you know it." He looked at me like a lost puppy, and I completely melted as I took in everything he said.

"Jake…"

"Stay with me. Please. I promise to never ever let anything happen to you, and you don't have to be careful with me, I won't eat you like the leech might have. Just think of all the things you can have with me that you couldn't with him. I can eat regular food, even if it is a lot of it. I can give you a family, if you ever decide to do that. I am in love with you and I want you to be my Bella forever. So stay with me."

I felt the tears start to roll over my cheeks, but completely ignored them. Instead, I leaned a little closer to Jake's face. He did the same as it clicked in his mind what I was doing. Slowly, he put his lips against mine, and we moved together perfectly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body against his. There were no lines that Jake couldn't cross, and I didn't have to be aware of the fact that he could suck all my blood and kill me in a second. We could do whatever we wanted without caution, and I liked it. Jacob positioned his hands on my hips and pulled me even closer. He was totally into it, as was I, but when I deepened the kiss he pulled away without letting go of me.

"This isn't the time to be getting all intimate, now is it? You have to go and tell Alice that you aren't going to Italy to save the man who broke your heart, you're staying with the man who fixed it." He smiled and rubbed my cheek with the back of his hand, wiping away the trails that my tears had made.

"I suppose you're right. I'm sure he'll be just fine without the girl he didn't want anymore. You, on the other hand…" I laughed shyly and let him out of my embrace before starting out of the kitchen. I didn't expect him to come with me, but he was at my side and lacing my fingers with his.

"You're not leaving me in this kitchen all by myself," He opened the front door for me where Alice was standing, her car started in the background. "Wherever you go, I go." He said before he saw Alice with her teeth bared in a menacing manor.

"Bella, are you coming with me to save Edward?" She asked in the singing voice that was very hard to say no to.

"Um, No, Alice, I am not. He didn't want me then, so why would he want me now? Jacob loves me, unlike Edward," I cringed at his name still, after all this healing time. He was most likely going to die, I told myself, so I better get over him now.

"I'm staying with Jacob. I'm sorry." She opened her mouth reply, but apparently couldn't get the words out. Alice turned swiftly and drove away, to my surprise, slowly. After she was out of sight, I felt Jacob nuzzle my neck with his warm face, probably searching for a kiss. I laughed and looked at him.

"Where should we go now? Charlie is still at your place to keep Billy and Sue company tonight, right?" I looked over at the sky which was gracefully turning pink with the closing of the day.

"Yes he is," Jacob, still holding my hand, led me down the front steps and into my truck. "So maybe we should go camping." He laughed at the random idea. He had to be joking around with me. Jake walked around the hood of my truck, still smiling. I, however, was thinking to myself, Camping?!
