I had to keep running. There was no stopping now; I was almost halfway through Iceland.

I have gone for the past 4 months, obviously stopping for some breaks and not returning to my human state once. Sam and the others stopped talking to me as of last week. They were tired of trying. Serves them right, they finally realized they couldn't do anything about my situation.

Last week the last person who talked to me was Sam and he stated that Bella, myBella was now a bloodsucker. I went through enough pain through the wedding, but now this?

A loud howl erupted through the chilly air. Who cares if someone hears me? It's not like they can do anything to stop me. Ha! I'd like to see some puny human try. I could rip their throats out in one swipe if I wanted to.

Wait! What am I thinking? Declaring something like that would make me as bad as Bella's stupid leech of a husband, Edward Cullen. How his name disturbed me so. I cannot and will not be as bad as them. Screw him. He damned my Bella to an eternity of being a monster, wanting blood for the rest of her life.

But if she came back, I would forgive her. Even as a vampire, I would forgive her. Anything to see that beautiful smile and her angelic face again. I'd give anything.

A sudden voice broke my thoughts.

- Jacob, will you please come back? It's been too long. I know you miss her, I know how you feel. But you need to come back.

Not Sam again. He always makes me feel guilty for what I do. Not this time.

- Do not say you know how I feel! How can you possibly know? No one understands what I'm going through!

I know that I sounded like some overly sensitive teenager at that point, but I don't care. I don't care what anyone thinks!

- Please, Jake. I know it's hard. And you're right; I don't know how you feel. But I have a pretty good idea. How do you think I felt when I broke Leah's heart? Not very good. But when I felt guilty, Emily would always make me cheer up. She makes me see the positive side of things. And that's what you need Jacob. To change your life around. It is going to be tough, and I understand that it feels like all hope is lost, but you do have hope left. You still have determination to make things better in your life. I can see you do it. I know you can. You can take how much time you want, Jake, but the longer you wait for something, the farther away it goes. The harder it gets to move on. It'll be hard, it really will, but it's always a matter of forgetting and moving on. Move on with your life. Remember the happy times you had with Bella, not the bad. I know you loved her. A lot. But someday, you will find your soul mate, you will imprint. And when that day comes, you will feel happy again. Enjoy your life Jake; make the most of your experiences. If you want to come back, I'll be here waiting with open arms. We all will. Take what I said into consideration. Thanks for listening.

At that point I knew I had been dismissed. Sam transformed into his human form. I know he's right, and I know I have to go back. I have to move on, I just have to. Even though I don't want to, I need to move on. Moving on. Ugh. Those two words frightened me. All of a sudden, just like that, I turned human again. I knew that my life has taken a sudden turn. For good or bad, I don't know.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After about 2 weeks I was back. It was astoundingly easy to change from my wolf appearance back into a human, even after all of those months. As Sam said, everyone was there waiting for me and practically killing me with hugs and remarks about how stupid I was for running away like that, which were no doubt made by Quil and Embry. Emily and the girls were simply delighted that I was back and glad that I hadn't got hurt.

Three days later while I was working on a new car my dad had dug up for me, A/N: Jacob's dad was not mad at him at all and he understood why he ran. Back to the story! Sam came into my garage.

- Oh, hey Sam. What are you doing here?

I didn't want to sound rude, but the pack haven't really visited me these past days. I think they wanted me to be alone and to clear my head. Like I haven't had enough alone time.

- Hello, Jacob. I was wondering if you wanted to get a job…?

- A job?

- Yes, a job.

- Well, that's a nice suggestion you have going there but I'd like to pass.

Come on! Sam actually thought I had enough common sense, not to mention sanity, to work somewhere? That's unexpected.

- I think that you would like this job, Jake. It's perfect! You'll get everything off your mind for a few hours at least, because you'll be too busy working. Whaddya say?

- What is the job, anyways?

- Well…it's a waiter.

I laughed a loud, arrogant laugh.

- You really think I want to be a waiter?

- My uncle is one of the managers at the restaurant, Jake. You can work whatever times you want to and he'll understand if you're not the best waiter. It's the perfect job Jake. You're gonna love it, you'll see.

- If I agree to this job, will you promise me that you're not going to give me any more inspirational speeches to persuade me?

- Promise.

- Fine then, it's a deal. I'll start tomorrow. Sound good?

- Sounds great, Jacob. It sure does.

There goes Sam, looking all proud and what not. You think he'd be tired of persuading me into such things, but no, of course not. I sighed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up that morning to the sound of the most annoying alarm you will ever hear. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! I pounded the snooze button. I muttered to myself:

- Okay, I'm up. Jesus Christ, you think they could make alarms a little quieter these days.

I jumped out of my bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I brushed my teeth, got dressed and then headed into the kitchen.

- Hey there son. Excited for your first day on the job?

I just gave him a groan and nodded my head.

- You're just bursting with joy. What's wrong?

- Nothing, dad. Just a little nervous.

And I wasn't lying. I actually was nervous. I don't know why, but I had a feeling something bad was going to happen today. I just had a feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm probably just hungry. I hope I'm just hungry.

- Hey, Pap, did you make any breakfast? I'm starving.

- Of course I did! You can't live without food.

I gave him a mischievous grin.

I practically inhaled my food and tried to forget about that feeling in my stomach. Today was going to be a good day. It was.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I got to work early. Better to be early than late on your first day. I parked my car and walked to the restaurant. I had to drive for two hours to get to Port Angeles. The restaurant was called "La Bella Italia". Oh great, it just had to have her name in it, didn't it?

It actually was kind of fun waiting tables. Sam's uncle Clyde showed me what to do and told me everything a great waiter needs to know. After only about 2 hours of training he said I could start! I felt pretty proud of myself.

That night, I had already waited about fifteen tables and I felt pretty good. It was so easy waiting tables, and the people seemed to like me. I guess because I actually smiled at them and talked to them, not like the many other waiter's in this restaurant that glare at you when you can't pick what you want to eat.

I felt a breeze flow in as the door flew open. Accompanying that breeze was a foul smell that I recognized from anywhere. Leeches. In my restaurant? I growled. The smell kept getting stronger and stronger as I went to wait table 17 in the far corner on the right, in a booth. I could not see the couple that was in that booth. I only knew that the top of the male's head was hair that was bronze. Where have I seen that before? No, it can't be. It's not. A lot of people have bronze hair. But not that perfectly bronze. I shook my head.

Snap out of it Jake! I thought to myself. It's not that bloodsucker. Nothing to be worried about. You're jumping to conclusions. I took a deep breath and walked over to the table.

- Hey, welcome to La Bella Italia! My name is-

All of a sudden, I stopped. It was her, Bella. She was absolutely breathtaking. And Edward was there too. I growled, he made me so mad. I started shaking, and I couldn't stop myself.

- Hello Jacob. We would like to start with 2 cokes. Would you mind getting those for us?

He gave me his perfect smile. What a jackass. He was practically telling me: She's mine now. You can't do anything anymore. She's one of us.

I looked at Bella. She was petrified. Her face was frozen into place and she couldn't stop staring.

Edward coughed, as if saying: are you going to get the drinks or not?

I just glared at him like I never glared at anyone before. Before I knew what I was doing, I punched him. Smack dab in the face. I didn't care who saw me. Come arrest me. I don't care. This is the man that took away my Bella, and he was gloating about it. Let's see him smile when his face gets deformed.

He just looked at me. He didn't even move an inch. Not even a wince. He just sat there, staring. I was about to punch him again when he suddenly took my hand and twisted it until I flipped and fell right on my back. He crouched down and whispered:

- If you ever, ever, put my Bella in danger like that again, I swear you will wish that you could die, how much I will inflict pain on you. Do not ever show your face again or else.

I just laughed and said:

- Any pain is better than being away from Bella. You should know that. And who was there for her when you left? Me. I think she at least deserves to see me again.

He punched me in the face and before he left, said:

- Does it look like she wants to see you?

I looked at Bell and saw that she was terrified and she was just staring at me with black eyes, furious.

- I didn't think so. Now go run along to your little pack, and if you ever see us again, I suggest you run. Goodbye, Jacob. Have a nice day. I hope you will take my advice because it would be the smarter thing to do.

And with that, he and Bella left out the door. I lay there on the ground while people came rushing to my aid. As I was being rolled into the ambulance, the last thing I saw before becoming unconscious was Bella and Edward sharing a passionate kiss.

Hope you liked it! Over 2000 words for you! Oh my, this took me a while and I'm glad it's done. Enjoy! Make sure to REVIEW! It takes up 2 seconds of your time and it makes me very motivated to write another chapter. So just go down there and click on go! D Thanks so much! Next chapter coming out soon, BPOV.
