I was just drifting back to sleep when the door flew open and Jacob and I jumped to our feet. I saw Sam, Embry, Jared, and Paul walk in.

"Uh… sorry to wake you," Sam said.

"My God!!! You scared the soul out of me!!!" I yelled putting my hand over my heart.

I saw Embry and Jared exchange smiles. Obviously they had seen Jacob and me sleeping along with the others. They all just stared at me and I was starting to feel self-conscious.

There was an awkward silence "Jake, can we talk to you…" he looked at me then back to Jacob "outside?" Sam said.

Well it's not Jacob could say no. "Sure," he said.

All five guys walked out the door. Wow, they were all so tall.

I wondered what they were talking about. No doubt one of them was going to bring up me.

Then it hit me. Last night I didn't have I nightmare. I actually had a normal dream. Jacob and me were at the beach and he was holding my hand as we walked. I smiled to myself. I always loved thinking about Jacob. My heart started to race again, and then I remembered the last thought I had before I fell asleep.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I do have feeling for Jacob.

It was very possible that I had feeling for Jacob; I just had to figure everything out.

"So you and Bella were looking pretty close in there," Embry said

It was true. I remembered waking up in the middle of the night to Bella saying my name in her sleep. I wanted to go back to that moment. Watching her sleep, looking so peaceful.

"Earth to Jake," Jared said waving his hand in front of my face. "You thinking about her?" They always wanted to know everything about Bella, it's not like they wouldn't know everything considering they would eventually hear me thinking about her.

"Mind your own business," I snapped.

I turned to Sam "Is there anything important you wanted to talk about because if not…"

Sam cut me off "No, there is"

"Then what is it?" I was starting to get impatient.

"Well, that vampire has been all over Forks"

"I know that" we've known that for a couple of days now.

"Well she's been around Bella's house." They all stared at me to see what my reaction would be.

If that filthy bloodsucker got anywhere near Bella I would rip her to shreds myself. Thinking of that leech made me want to gag. How could anyone want to kill Bella? The thought made my hands start to shake as I forced them into fists.

"Jake calm down!" Sam said

"Is that all?" I snapped again even angrier.

"Yes, just don't tell Bella, we don't want worry her" he said back. "If you need us, you know where to find us," Sam said as he and the others started to back into the woods.

I walked back in the house and when I saw Bella, the anger faded away. She looked absolutely gorgeous, although she claimed not to be. She was staring at the wall and I smiled to myself realizing she must be daydreaming. I really wished I could read her mind but then again, I didn't.

She turned to look at me "Everything okay?" she asked as her warm brown eyes stared straight into mine. I could get lost in them any day.

"Everything's fine," I lied. It was so hard to lie to Bella, I figured she would see right through me but she didn't.

She let out a sigh of relief as I walked over to her and sat next to her. She turned to face me and smiled.

"Sleep well?" The words slipped out. I really shouldn't have asked that.

She blushed. "I was warm," she said as she looked away. "Also, it was the first night since he left that I didn't have a nightmare and wake up screaming"

Well that took me by surprise. "What?!? You wake up… screaming?" I was in shook and I also felt terrible.

"Yeah, either that or I didn't dream at all," she said and looked back at me.

I started shaking again. That bloodsucker made me so angry. How could he do this to her?

"Hey… it's okay. Calm down." Bella leaned back and put her hand on my arm. It felt nice and I stopped shaking at her touch.

"I don't know how Edward could do this to you… if he only knew," I stated. Then I turned to look at her realizing that I had said his name. Before, each time I even mentioned him I saw the pain in her eyes, but this time it didn't seem to bother her.

"Sorry," I said quickly hoping she would realize what I meant by it.

"It's okay, I don't mind talking about now."

I looked at her confused. "Why?" Great now I was forcing her to talk about it; but I was honestly curious.

She looked at me. "I think I'm finally starting to get over him."

Was she serious? She was getting over… Edward? Was I hallucinating? Did I actually have a chance?

"Are we still talking about Edward?" I asked still not sure if I had heard correctly.

"Yes, we are." I stared back at her not exactly sure what I should say.

She blushed again. "I guess I should be thanking you"

I looked at her confused again and she laughed. I loved her laugh.

" When Edward left I was like a zombie for months and then I came to see you," she paused "and then I started to feel better."

She continued. "It's like when Edward left he punched a hole into my chest and then you started to stitch it back up for me."

"A hole in your chest…only a true heartbreak can do that," I said

Bella looked down at the ground. "It's happened twice too me… everything happens to me"

I was confused again. " Twice?" When was the other time?

I looked at her waiting for the answer that I probably didn't want to hear. Did some other guy hurt her as bad as Edward did? I could tell she was holding back tears.

"Yup, twice" she paused "I really shouldn't have said that it's not the guys fault"

"Who?" I could tell this was hard on her.

She looked at me again. " Remember the day I came to see you and you said that I couldn't be your friend and you couldn't hang out with me anymore because you know… you couldn't tell me that you were a werewolf?"

I knew exactly what she was saying. "I was the guy that punched a hole in your chest."

She nodded. I felt absolutely terrible. "When I came to see you that night had you been crying because of me?" I was afraid of the answer.

She looked away and I knew what the answer was.

" Bella I'm so sorry, I didn't know I hurt you that bad and…" I was at a loss for words.

"Jake it's okay, that hole has been healed up for a long time now… it really wasn't your fault."

Wasn't really my fault? Wasn't my fault? It was entirely my fault, because I was a werewolf I had hurt Bella in the worst way…I practically did the same thing the bloodsucker did.

I couldn't say anything; I was absolutely speechless.

"Oh Jake, I didn't mean to make you upset," she said as the tears she was holding back spilled over.

I pulled her against me "Bella, it's okay," I said. She put her arms around me. Her hands were soft and a lot cooler then mine but still, they felt nice.

"Bella I promise to never make you feel like that again, I swear," I whispered in her ear.

"I know you won't, let's just never talk about this again okay."

"Never," I agreed.

We got up and I wiped the tears from her cheeks. She smiled and hugged me. I could feel her heart beating against my chest. My heart rate picked up being this close to Bella. Alls I wanted to do was kiss her but I wouldn't because I would wait for her. I didn't want to make a move to soon.

She looked up at me, her eyes twinkling "I can always count on you Jacob Black." She said in the sweetest voice. I loved it when she said my name

I was falling in love with Bella Swan.
