Chapter 2: Jacob

"Hey Mike, when do you get off of work," I asked.

"Actually, I just did. Why? Do you wanna go out tonight?"

"I'm still dating Edward, Mike. I was wondering if you could give me a ride to La Push." Mike looked a little shocked.

"Um, sure…yeah," he stumbled. "Can I ask why?"

"I'm just going to see a friend and my car's at home. It's a long story," I said, waving my hand as if to push it away.

"Alright," Mike said, still confused. I have to admit that I was pretty happy that some of his chivalry was still around. I followed him out to his suburban and soon we were on our way.

"So, who are you going to see?" Mike asked. "Is it that Jacob kid again?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to go talk to him," I replied.

"Just talk, right." I nodded my head." Well, once you're done talking to him, we should go see a movie. Just you and me, not that other guy."

"Mike," I sighed. He clearly wasn't getting the message." I really am going out with Edward. I only want to be friends with you. "I concluded that the message had finally sunk in.

The rest of the ride was silent. The ride seemed to last for hours, and I was becoming more frightened that my plan would fail and that they would catch me. Once we crossed over the invisible treaty line, I let out a deep breath. The Cullens couldn't stop me now, not without starting a war.

"Hey Bella, where do I go?"

"Just pull over here," I said, half in trance. I was still debating what I would tell Jacob. The car quickly stopped, and I thanked Mike as I got out. He just mumbled something that I didn't catch.

A new string of worries were captivating my mind. What if Jacob wasn't home or if he refused to talk to me, no matter what I said? I really dreamed that he would still have some feelings left for me and he would come. Before long, I was at the door. I knocked a few times and waited. Billy opened the door and looked more than surprised to see me.

"Hey Bella, can I help you?" There was something in his eyes that I couldn't figure out.

"Yeah, actually. Is Jacob home? I really need to talk to him."

"I'm not entirely sure that he would want to talk to you right now." His words stung. Billy had never been this harsh to me." After all, your last little chat didn't hold up too well," he replied.

"I know. That's why I'm here, so I can fix it." Just then, Jacob appeared in the doorway and Billy quickly left. Jacob looked slightly larger than he had last time I had seen him. He looked surprised to see me, but I could see the pain in his eyes.

"Jacob," I sighed.

"What do you want Bella?" His voice was harsh, but I could tell he was happy to see me, in a way.

"Take a walk with me, please."

"Bella, I know how you feel and you got my letter..."

"Please Jacob," I begged.

He sighed,"Alright." We headed down the road, toward the beach. I was still trying to figure out how to start, when he interrupted me.

"Why did you really come here?"

"I couldn't leave things the way they were. I …I had to see you smile again," I confessed.

He looked down at his feet and sighed." Bella, you chose that leech. I can't stop you, no matter how hard I try. I love you Bella, I truly do. Please stay here. He'll just leave you again, you know he will. Just come back to me, I can protect you from anything and give you what you want. If you go back, I know that bloodsucker won't let you come over the line again." Jacob was now staring at me with a new passion burning in his eyes, but also pleading.

I looked down at the road before I replied. "Edward didn't let me come over. I tricked him."

"What!" Jacob's face lit up. "Does that mean you've changed your mind?! That's perfect. We have to tell-"

"I didn't change my mind." I interrupted. "Edward just doesn't think it's safe-"

"The hell it is!" Jacob was really mad now. I could see his hands shaking a little." You're safer over here with me than in the arms of that low-life, disgusting, vile-"

"Jake, please. I really do need you in my life, as a friend. I know that the whole 'mortal enemies' thing is still there but I don't have to follow those rules." My voice was stronger than I thought possible." I can convince Edward. Even if he says no, I'll think of something."

Jake thought it over for a minute, and then replied." Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe we can try and be friends again, on my side of the line."

"Oh, thank you so much Jake! You're the best," I yelled. I couldn't hide my excitement as a smile sprouted on his face. I had kept my promise to myself. Everything seemed to be going perfect.

Then I remembered my previous dinner plans."
