Hello, this is my first ever fanfic. This takes place after new moon. It's my version of what happened next. I hope you guys enjoy reading it and please, please leave a review so I know what to fix.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except, for the new character you will be introduced to later.

Jacob

I don't know what happened to me. I saw her and I saw the bloodsucker and I just lost it. I was so close, so damn close. She loves me. I know she does. I can feel it, but he's in the way. He doesn't give a damn about her. He left her and if she weren't so clueless she would know that he can leave her at any time if he feels like it. I'm the best thing for her. I know I can be dangerous, but I would never hurt her. She means so much to me, so much.

I stopped my pacing and my internal rambling. I knew Sam and the others wouldn't appreciate it if they had to listen to me later. Because, now that Bella was safe in the arms of her dead boyfriend, there were more vampires out there. That crazy bloodsucker Victoria was out to get her again. And I was playing the part of guard dog, again. And the saddest thing was that I didn't mind. I would do anything to keep her safe.

I turned away from the edge of the cliff. Bella had tried to kill herself by jumping off just a few weeks ago. But, I was thinking about Bella too much. I had other things to worry about, especially Victoria. I would be the one to catch that bloodsucker. I needed to let out my anger some way and she provided the perfect escape. If I couldn't get that stupid bloodsucker Bella…loved, then I would get this one.

I sighed and went back to the house. Billy was watching the game at Bella's house today. He asked me if I wanted to go, but I really couldn't stomach seeing Bella so soon after she'd thrown me away, like the back up I was. I hated the way she hurt me without trying. I hated that she preferred dying than living. I hated that she was so dumb sometimes. I hated having to be her guard dog. But, more than anything, I hated myself for missing her.

I ignored the phone and went to sit on the couch. I turned on the T.V to some nonsense and pretended to watch. There was nothing like television to distract a guy. I was just about done laughing at something that was only half amusing when the phone rang. I got up and answered it.

"Hello? Jake?"

It was her. What was she doing calling me? I sighed, because I knew that the way my heart was beating had nothing to do with anger.

"Hello Bella. What's up?" I answered turning off the T.V.

"Jake, how are you? I missed you, but no one will let me go see you. Edward thinks it's dangerous to be anywhere near you."

"I didn't expect anything different. He wants to keep you away from me because he knows that if you stay a little too long with me, I'm going to win." I said knowing right away that it was the wrong thing.

"Jake, please. We talked about this already. You know who I chose and I don't want this to be harder than it has to be on you."

"Bells, there's nothing you can say that will make this easy for me. But, let's pretend we're over this. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Want to come over for dinner. We'll wait for you."

I wanted to say no. I should have said no.

"I'll be right over. Don't start without me."

"We won't Jake. Can't wait to see you."

"Yeah, see you Bells."

I hung up and then stared at my phone. I had to be the stupidest person alive. What was I doing getting myself into a situation I knew I would find unpleasant. But, that was me. I grabbed my car keys and headed out. I walked to the car waiting for Sam to call me, or more like hoping Sam would call me. He didn't and I ended up driving to Bella's house.

She was waiting for me on her front steps. She looked so fragile, so pretty, standing in the fading light. I wanted to hug her, kiss her, run my hands through her hair. I was a pretty messed up head case. I got out of the car and smiled at her.

"Long time no see. I was starting to think I made you up." I said walking up to her with my arms open.

She smiled and stepped into my hug. "I've missed you Jake. It's not the same without you."

I doubted that. It was fine without me. It had always been fine without me until she lost her bloodsucker.

"Where is this food you promised me?" I asked trying to steer away form anything that would make me agitated or angry.

She laughed and pulled me into the house. Billy and Charlie were already at the table when I came in. They were eating pizza which happened to be my favorite. I sat down next to them and Charlie beamed at me. He was always happy to see me. He was the only one with sense enough to realize that I was best for Bella.

I stopped the train of thoughts knowing they would get me nowhere. Wishful thinking was useless and I was starting to annoy myself in my own head. We had a family dinner. Bella was nice and funny like she always was. When it was over Billy gave me permission to stay over for a little while longer, but I said no. I gave Sam as an excuse and I knew Bella would know what I was talking about.

I had to stay on watch tonight. It was just me, Leah, and Embry tonight. We were supposed to call the others if we saw anything unusual, but I doubted we'd see anything. Victoria was not stupid. She'd come when she was strong enough to come and not before. I was pretty sure Sam knew that, but Sam was Sam and he was not going to take any chances.

I helped Bella wash the dishes and then pushed Billy to the car. She waved goodbye and I knew that I'd never be able to let her go. She was who my heart wanted and there was nothing I could do. It was too bad this imprinting stuff decided not to work on me.

I hadn't imprinted on Bella, I knew that. But, everyone else had imprinted on someone. Sam had Emily. Jarred had Kim. Even Quil had his world settled. It was just me. I needed one and I didn't have one. I knew that imprinting was not going to happen to me. If it wasn't Bella then it was no one else.

"Why so quiet son?" Billy asked me.

"I was just thinking."

"You think?"

I laughed. "Alright, I'll give you that one. I was just wondering about Bella. Do you think that she'll do it? Give up her life like that?"

"She'll do what she thinks is best for her and there's nothing we can do. You have to understand that son. We can't change what she wants, no matter how much you want to."

I kept my eyes on the road as I pulled into our house. "She can always change her mind."

"Don't hold your breath son."

I said nothing as I rolled Billy into the house. I set him in front of the T.V, pulled off my t-shirt and left. I was supposed to meet Leah and Embry in two minutes and if I didn't make it Leah would never let me hear the end of it. I ran until I got to the edge of the woods. Embry was there, but Leah wasn't.

"Hey Jake. How's life?" Embry asked.

"Better than what you'd think. I had a date tonight." I boasted.

"Yeah? I hear T.V's aren't good at making out, how'd you work that out?"

I moved to punch him, but Embry was either too fast or he just knew me that well. I think it was just that he knew me so well. We both knew I'd kick his butt if we ever got into a fight.

"What are you two girls doing?" Leah called as she came up to us.

"Oh no, she's grouchy." Embry whispered loud enough for her to hear.

"When has she ever not been grouchy?" I said much louder.

"I hope you've learned to keep your thoughts to yourself, Black. I don't want to hear how heartbroken you are or about how much you want to make out with Bella. I don't think I can stomach that right now."

Ouch.

I winced. Leah could be a cold bitch when she wanted to be.

I looked away from all of them and transformed. I liked being wolf. It made me feel stronger, more than I was as just a human and I loved running. When I turned around I felt Leah and Embry in my head. They were done too. I looked for them and saw them standing a few feet away.

Leah was the grey wolf, smaller than most of us, but she was just as powerful. I wouldn't like to have Leah on the opposite side in a fight. Embry was bigger than Leah and a lot smarter when it came to fighting. He didn't take unnecessary risks. If he knew he couldn't win a fight, he would call for help. Leah would rather have her hand cut off than admit she couldn't take on someone in a fight. I agreed with Leah, but she didn't need to know that.

I heard that Black. So you think that Embry is a little girl?

Shut it Leah. Jake just meant that I wasn't stupid, unlike you. Embry said.

Jacob agrees with me thought, don't you Jacob? Rather die than admit you can't take on a couple of bloodsuckers, right? Leah asked knowing full well what I would answer.

The difference between you and me, Leah, is that I would never lose to any bloodsucker. I can take three at a time if I had to. But don't worry; I'll be there when you need help.

I don't think so, Black. You can't even win against Bella and you think you can take on a couple of vampires?

Leah shut up. Embry warned.

But, it was too late. She had brought up Bella and now she would have to put up with whatever thought I wanted in my head. I closed my eyes and sorted through my memories. I wanted one that would make Leah barf. I settled on the first kiss I ever gave Bella. I played it over and over in my head until she called for mercy.

C'mon Jake, I know you can't stand Leah, but why do I have to suffer along with her. I didn't do anything. Embry complained.

Because, I said so. I answered, but turned Bella off.

We had work to do and I didn't need any distractions at the moment. We separated and went our separate ways. All we had to do was watch. If any of us saw anything, Embry would call for help and Leah and I would hold off the bloodsuckers. I was near the treaty border. This had to be the safest spot in the entire place, which was why nobody wanted it, but we had to take turns and I hadn't watched this spot in a while.

I walked for a while then just sat down. There would be nothing here tonight. I looked up at the moon and just sat for a while. It was a full moon tonight which meant that there was more light than usual.

Stop daydreaming, Black. I can hear the poem forming in your head already. Leah said.

I sighed. Having people in your head was no fun. I missed the privacy of my own thoughts. There was never time to think alone anymore. I loved the pack. I just didn't want them in my head all the time.

Ditto. Came Leah's answer.

I ignored her. I didn't want to talk to anyone tonight and I didn't want to defend myself from Leah. I had enough in my head right now, like Bella and Billy, and what Billy had said. I looked back up at the moon and wanted to laugh. A poem was the farthest thing from my head at the moment, but there was something sad about the moon.

This time I did laugh. I sounded like a love sick puppy in my own head. I stood and was going to find Leah when I smelled something to the left. I stopped because it wasn't a regular smell. It was the kind of smell that comes with bloodsuckers, but better, sort of warm and really nice. I stopped.

In front of me was the prettiest girl I had seen in my life. She wasn't tall then again I was pretty tall, but she was short. She had dark curls that fell to her waist, and the biggest, greenest eyes I had seen in my life. She looked so fragile and I was afraid that if I blinked I would lose her. I wanted to know her name.

"It's Cassandra." She answered in a voice that was like a warm bath.

I blinked knowing that there was no way I had asked that question alive. I looked at her carefully and saw that she was pale, pale like a…

Bloodsucker. Leah screamed in my head. Embry Jacob needs our help. Get your butt off to Sam and the others. I'll go help him.

I don't need help. I answered.

The truth was I didn't want them anywhere near Cassandra. I didn't know what it was or why, but I knew, I just knew that she wasn't dangerous.

But, Leah wasn't listening to me. I could see her running as fast as she could. She wanted this fight. She had anger and she needed to let go of that anger, just like I did. She thought it would be a good idea to take her anger out on Cassandra.

I turned away from my thoughts to look at Cassandra. I looked up and couldn't find her.

She was gone.
