Hey! Sorry about yesterday- I was getting my driver's license, only to have it taken away. Not fair!

So, here's the third chapter of New New Moon

Disclaimer- If I owned the Twlight Saga, I'd be Stephenie Meyer. And I'm the farthest thing from that.

Chapter 3: Scared

When we got to my house, I turned to him. He tilted his head questioningly.

"Why did you come? And how did you know I was there?" I demanded.

"I knew you were there because your car was parked at the trail entrance," he said, turning away.

I sat there, confused, for a moment, as I processed what he had said- and not said.

"You didn't answer my first question." I said flatly.

"Hmmm? What was it again?" he said. Now I knew that he was stalling.

"Why did you come and get me?"

"Oh. Ummm..." he said, glancing at me.

I huffed at him, and pleaded with my eyes. "Why won't you tell me?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"It'd scare you," he mumbled to the window. He turned to me, also pleading with his eyes for me to leave well enough alone.
Which I did not intend to do.

"Please?" I pleaded, getting even more curious than before.

He sighed, and his shoulders hunched momentarily. "I really didn't want you to know. It'd scare you. But-" he sighed, "You'd figure it out soon enough, anyway..."

"Wait" I interupted him, "Was it... Victoria?" I shivered involuntarily.

He turned to me, and whispered so softly that I had to lean in to hear, "...Yes."

My heart stopped for a minute, then started up again at a much faster rate than before.

"Did you..." I gasped.

"No. Bella, calm down, you're safe with us." He looked at me anxiously, a sort of -scared?- look in his eyes.

I tried to calm down for him. Although he should be scared- a bunch of teenager werewolves against Victoria was not an even match in the slightest- I didn't want him to be.

Evenutally, my heartbeat slowed down to a normal speed, and Jake didn't look as worried.

"But... why did you come and get me, if you were chasing Victoria?" I said, my heart skipping a beat as I said it.

"She escaped from us into the ocean. I remembered that you were often out on the beach, so I came to get you so she wouldn't." I winced at the last sentence.

He saw that, and turned to me.

"I won't let her get you," he said fiercely, and then softened as I started to cry.

"Why are you crying, Bells?" he asked, taking me into his arms.

"Because... because you could get hurt," I sobbed, and he pulled me closer. "I... I couldn't..." I couldn't stop blubbering long enough to tell him that I didn't want him to get hurt.

But he seemed to understand anyway.

"Oh, Bella." he said, and hugged me tightly as I started to cry harder.

"Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, Bells." he said.

I looked up at him. He looked so...

Loving.

I stretched up and kissed him on the lips. He gasped with shock, then returned it.

Okay, yeah, I know that that chapter was not very well written. Go ahead and try to convince me otherwise, I won't believe it. I suck at writing emotional conversations- they always come out cheesy- sounding. So... go ahead and review now. I won't stop you.
