Chapter 1
Jacob's head was fuzzy with sleep, so much so he couldn't quite understand why he was hearing music - it sounded like the glee version of 'Like a Prayer' which was Bella's ringtone on his cell. Suddenly his head felt less foggy and he scrambled for his phone, grabbing it off the bedside cabinet. Bella's name and picture were on the screen and Jacob accepted the call instantly. Bell's was the only person alive he would answer his phone in the middle of the night for, partly because she was his best friend and partly because she had never called this late with out a damn good reason.
"B what's up did something happen?" Jacob asked feeling a slow coil of dread already building in his stomach. There was no way this was gonna be a happy conversation: you didn't call your best friend at three in the morning to chat about music or anything else remotely good.
"He oh God he," Bella whimpered in to the phone and Jacob could tell by her breathing that she'd been sobbing. His baby girl didn't sob over just anything she was strong.
"Has something happened to Charlie?" Chief Swan had raised Bella all alone the only single father in Forks until Jacob's mom passed five years after. Bella was real close to her dad; her mom was alive but had walked out and left her kid as well as her husband the only family they had was each other. If Charlie had been hurt or he'd died it would kill Bella. Jacob thought it might kill his dad too, they were best friends had been for years.
"N n n no," Bella stuttered out and the relief he felt was instantaneous.
"What's the matter then baby do you need me to come over?" Jacob asked sitting up and throwing off his covers ready to get dressed and leave.
"Its Edward he's been cheating on me with some trashy slut called Victoria," Bella said her voice thick from her tears.
"He did what?" Rage came quickly, burning through his veins like acid. He was out of the bed before he'd even decided to get out, cell at his ear as he searched for clothes.
"He's been sleeping with her for months," Bella whispered, sounding so broken that it broke his heart a little bit and raised the level of his rage all in one go.
"The fucker," Jacob snarled.
"Jake I can hear you moving, what are you doing?" Bella asked, her voice shaking as she spoke.
"I'm gonna go over to Cullen's and I'm going to kick his ass," Jacob said firmly knowing he could do it Edward was strong enough, tall with a decent build but Jacob was taller: over six foot of pure muscle. He seemed to have constant growth spurts and he liked to run and work out he'd also been in his fair share of fights so he was pretty confident about the level of pain he could inflict on Bella's pretty boy ex.
"No Jacob please don't do that I don't want you to hurt him," Bella begged.
"What? The bastard deserves it Bella," Jacob growled.
"You'll get in trouble Jacob and I don't want that, not over me," Bella insisted, her voice firm despite the fact he could still hear that she was crying.
"Fine I'm coming over to yours. I'll sneak in through your window," Jacob told her and he hung up before she could argue.
He finished getting dressed and left through the back door his dad wasn't to strict but he didn't want to tempt fate, not tonight. He got in to his truck and broke every speed limit in existence.
He had climbed through Bella's bedroom window a hundred times or more in his life but he had never found her like this, curled up beside her bed facing the window, her cell clutched tightly in her hand and her knees drawn up to her chest.
She looked up when he walked in and her pale face was streaked with tears. Her eyes were still wet and shiny, still crying. Jacob dropped down until he was sat down beside Bella he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close to his side. She dropped her head to his chest and sobbed into his shirt. All he could think to do was hug her tight and stroke her long dark brown hair. She was beautiful smart and funny as hell and Jacob couldn't understand why Edward fucking Cullen had cheated on her.
"Please let me kick his ass," Jacob begged as he cradled her almost too frail frame against him.
"No everyone loves him and his dad's a doctor. Knowing Charlie will not stop you from getting arrested," Bella said, her voice muffled by his chest.
"I'm seventeen. Even if I get in trouble it'd be juvie prison and you're worth it," Jacob grumbled.
"You're not becoming a juvenile delinquent for me but thanks for offering. Just the fact that you have makes me feel better," Bella said looking up in to his face and giving him a weak smile.
"I'll do anything you need me to do. Anything," Jacob promised and he meant it. His best friend was his world he had his dad and two older sisters he never saw but Bella was more of a sister to him closer than his blood, he loved her and she loved him. People didn't get that.
"Just be here. Stay with me. School's going to be hell - he's made a fool of me and everyone knows and I don't know how I can face him everyday and everyone else. People will be talking about me and I hate attention," Bella's pale cheeks were turning pink as she got stressed out and Jacob couldn't help a half smile his Bella was the only person he knew that could be that pale and not end up with blotchy skin when she cried.
"If anyone says anything I will come and tell them to get lost," Jacob told her stroking her hair again watching the long dark strands slide through his tanned hands.
"You won't be there though you'll be at the reservation school," Bella sighed looking tired and just plain hurt.
Jacob had always liked his school: smaller than a normal high school and filled with people he'd known his whole life. He had always wished Bella could be there with him but she wasn't Native American. An idea formed in Jacob's head as he sat there cuddling Bella close, trying to pull her pain in to him through closeness alone.
"I could change schools… your school has some better college prep classes so my dad will be okay with it," Jacob offered quietly.
"But you love your school and I can't ask you to do that for me," Bella frowned, lifting her head again to stare at him.
"You didn't ask. I offered. Besides I miss you when I'm at school," Jacob pretended to pout.
"Come on you're not serious; don't joke about it," Bella sighed.
"I'm not joking, it's been weird at school anyway. Paul helps out there now so I see him every day," Jacob frowned not wanting to get in to it again. Bella was worried about how Paul was the older popular man lived on the reservation. He was gay - openly so - and he wanted Jacob. He was a little intense about his wanting and it scared Bella that the guy didn't take no as an answer: he'd been acting like they were already a couple for a while. Edward Cullen had always been intense to telling Bella he loved her after their first date but she'd been into it because she loved the guy, Paul sprouted the same soul mate special connection bullshit as Cullen did but there was nothing between them.
"He's still sniffing around after you?" Bella asked, frowning.
"Yeah he's always around so I really don't mind switching schools to come be with you. We can have each others backs. That's all we need: each other," Jacob said firmly pressing a hard kiss to Bella's temple.
"I would love it if you could be there with me but only if it won't piss off your dad and if you're sure you'll be happy at a different school," Bella said using what he called her stern mother voice - pretty much everyone listened to her when she used it.
"I'm sure if I'm behind you can help me catch up. I'm doing this," Jacob said just as firmly.
He stayed with Bella. She talked some of the time about Edward; how she'd caught him with the other girl, Victoria; how the girl had been mocking and how Edward had tried to justify everything that had happened. Everything Bella told him made him angry and more determined to protect her. Jacob fell asleep with his best friend in his arms and a wet patch on his chest.
That morning, when Charlie came in and woke them both up he looked mildly shocked to see Jacob curled up with his only daughter, but he just nodded. Jacob knew Bella would have to explain latter but for now the chief left them.
"The upside of being gay: the chief of police doesn't try to shoot me when he finds me in his baby girl's bed." Jacob grinned sleepily before slipping out of bed.
He had breakfast with Bella and her dad, but she was too quiet. He went home to talk to his dad and as predicted his dad didn't have a problem with him changing schools especially when he mentioned college classes. His dad was so pleased that he was planning for his future that he started making calls straight after breakfast - it made Jacob smile. His dad was great about everything he did and now he could deliver on his promise to have Bella's back at school. Nobody was going to make Bella feel bad about this shit and Cullen was gonna get one hell of a shock come Monday morning. Jacob might have promised Bella that he wouldn't beat up Edward but that didn't mean he wouldn't teach the damn stuck up Cullens a lesson.
