No. I couldn't even think about deciding between them at this point. I was being kidnapped! By my best friend! I just wanted to get back, but I didn't think Jacob would be changing his mind about going back soon.

"Jacob, I can't even think right now! Do you think I'll be able to choose between you two right now? Why don't we go back, and then I can think it through." I tried reasoning with him without him knowing my true intentions, but he knew me too well. He knew exactly what my intentions were, and he wasn't with me.

"You're such a bad liar. Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You just want to go back so you'll have that filthy bloodsucker as your protector, am I right?"

"You need to stop, Jacob, you do. He'll come looking for me, and if he finds us…" I didn't want to think of what would happen to Jake if Edward found out he had kidnapped me. Would he… I shuddered.

"Oh, and you wouldn't be ecstatic about that?" he asked sarcastically.

"No! Jacob, stop acting as if you wanted for me to want you to get out of my life. You know it is not like that, so please," I begged.

"You do. That way there won't be anybody to interfere, but it's not going to happen as long as I'm alive." He sounded unsure about something. As if he was thinking he might not have a long life, especially if Edward had already noticed I was gone too long and was looking for me.

His crazy driving was starting to frighten me. As much as I loved Jacob, it was starting to get on my nerves how obnoxious he was. I felt like I was about to explode right there in his car. He sure wasn't going to stop if I didn't do something.

"Well, then maybe if I'm not alive you'll stop complaining about how unfair it is that you don't get the girl," I screamed at him, opening the passenger's door, the car moving at an incredible speed.

"Bella!" he shouted, staring at me in shock and trying to reach for me, but I scooted further away, closer to the open door.

"Bella," he muttered angrily, slowing the car. I still had my hand on the door handle when he started to slow down. I noticed there was no civilization around us, only trees. And it was dark. What was I going to do even if I got away from him?

When the car suddenly came to a stop, I noticed he was shaking. It had probably angered him that I had put my life in danger. But I didn't blame myself for the reckless idea. I wanted to comfort him at that moment, make him feel better, but then again, I wanted to get home.

I jumped out without thinking and ran toward the forest. I didn't look back; I almost tripped over a log in the way. I was scared that if I turned back now I would see him coming toward me. If that happened, he would just take me back, and I didn't doubt he still would, but I kept running.

It was darker than it was before but not even the fear of any creature could compare to the one I felt of Jake finding me. I tripped over something suddenly. Falling to my knees, I could feel blood coming out where I had fallen. It didn't matter much right now, so I just got up and headed the same direction. I couldn't hear anything behind me and for that I was grateful.

On the way to nowhere, I fell a few times and every time I got up with more determination to run, but I was getting tired, it was dark, and I didn't know where I was.

Suddenly, there was a howl. I gasped, knowing who it belonged to. It sounded nearby, ad I knew I couldn't hide from him. He could probably see better in the dark than I could, but that wasn't the only reason.

When it sounded as if he was closer, I sought refuge behind a large tree. Maybe he would just pass by me.

I tried to control my breathing, first of all. When everything was quiet, everything but my heart, I closed my eyes. I thought about Edward and what he must be doing right now. Was he out looking for me? I put my arms around my legs and lied my head on my knees, waiting.


Chapter 3 is coming up! I a while. I hope it is coming out good, too.
