Billy POV

Something was not right. I had just gotten off the phone with a very angry Charlie. He told me that Bella went to Los Angeles to see one of the Cullens because her "mom"got into an accident. I knew about Bella's history with vampires so I wasn't too surprised about her running off to see them, but what I didn't understand was why Jacob was mixed up in this? Why was he covering for Bella?

Finally, I heard my son stirring in his room so I called him to the kitchen so we could have a little talk…

Jacob shuffled slowly into the kitchen and said, "Yeah, Dad."

I instructed Jacob to have a seat. He slowly walked over to the table and with a look of irritation; he flopped down into the chair which caused it to creak loudly.

I looked Jacob in the eyes and said, "I just got off of the phone with Charlie. He told me a very interesting story. It seems that Bella is in Los Angeles comforting Alice because her mother was in a horrible car accident."

Jacob opened his mouth to speak but I raised my hand to silence him.

"When Charlie started telling me this story I felt really bad for him thinking that Bella had finally taken that last step and run off with Edward. But then the story got better. Charlie told me that you were the one who gave him this information.

"Why are you covering for Bella? She runs off with the leeches and you lie for her? Son, have you snapped? Please explain it to me because I just don't get it."

Jacob stared at me for a while but he didn't answer me.

I leaned forward and said with disgust, "Well, what is going to happen to Charlie when Bella doesn't come back? Do you have another story to tell him then?"

Jacob stood up and walked away. He turned around and looked at me.

"Dad, I know what I'm doing."

Jacob walked out of the house and ran into the woods.

Jacob POV

I was hoping I would have a little more time before Charlie told my dad. I'd wanted to keep my plan a secret from everybody except Sam.

I'd learned that I had a lot of control over my thoughts while in wolf form. So the pack only got glimpses of what I wanted them to know, all except Sam.

Maybe because he was the Alpha was able to see every thought I had. Luckily when I got to Sam's house there was nobody there. Sam was in his backyard cutting wood. When Sam saw me coming he stopped what he was doing and waited for me to speak.

"Sam, I need to tell you something."

I took a deep breath and said, "Well after you sent me back to talk to the short leech, Bella and I got into a little argument about her socializing with a Cullen after what they did to her.

"Well, it was more of her accusing me of hating her for socializing with leeches. One thing led to another and somehow Bella and I almost kissed but then the phone rang."

I started pacing back and forth and my hands were beginning to tremble.

"It was the leech that left her in the woods. He was told by one of the other bloodsuckers that Bella jumped off of a cliff and died. When the phone rang I answered it and he asked for Charlie. I told him Charlie was not there, he was making funeral arrangements.

"I was talking about Harry's funeral. I didn't know the leech was calling to find out if Bella was alive. So he jumped to conclusions and went to Italy to have himself killed by some old as crack vampires."

I started pulling my hair and slammed my fist into the nearest tree. I growled and said, "The fortune teller saw it in a vision and told Bella. Bella panicked and of course ran off with the leech to save poor Edward. I tried to get Bella to stay but it was no use. When Charlie got home I told him a lie about Bella being with the Cullens in Los Angeles. Billy knows so he's mad at me. I'm telling you because you'll find out anyway."

Sam stood and stared at me for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Most people would try and shake some sense into you. Tell you to wake up, the girl was gone, wouldn't be coming back and even if she did she wouldn't be with you. But I won't do that because Bella is your imprint.

I thought that Sam was going to start yelling at me but he didn't. He turned away from me and walked toward the tree line. I followed behind him and we sat down. Sam picked up a stick and threw it.

"Jacob, why haven't you told Bella that you imprinted on her?"

"I wanted Bella to know in her heart that her love for me was a natural love, not something mystical that her mind and body chemistry were forced into."

"Jacob, Bella has to come back and even if for now she is with Edward, she's not going to be able to stay away from you. She's drawn to you and being away from you is going to force the realization in her mind that she can't be without you.

"If her emotions weren't so damaged you two would have imprinted instantaneously like Jared and me did. That's why you've done all the things you could to make sure Bella would be happy. She's needed an understanding friend and that is what you've been. It goes against everything we believe in and I would never openly admit this to anyone else but I think Edward coming back into the picture is a good thing."

No matter what she decided to do I would always be tied to her. Even if she decided to become a bloodsucking leech, I would go to my grave loving her with all of my heart.

I'll never forget the day that I imprinted on her. It was the day that she came looking for me at my house after my transformation. I was so overwhelmed by what I had become that I didn't understand what those feelings meant.

I couldn't describe how my love for Bella intensified a thousand times over. I thought my heart was going to burst. But I was too unstable at that time and I didn't want to put Bella in any danger. So I had to push her away and try to leave her alone.

But that didn't last too long. The same night I had to see her and I told her that I was a werewolf. Sam wanted me to tell her that I had also imprinted on her but I wanted her to love me because I'm Jacob not because she was my imprint.

Sam was very perceptive. All the time that Bella and I were spending together he knew that it would be a matter of time before Bella realized that I would be the right choice for her.

The next day…

Bella had just called me and she was on her way back. Not only that but she asked me to pick her up from the airport. I didn't know what happened while Bella was gone but the fact that she didn't sound like she was joined at the hip to Edward was a good sign.

Sam was going to come with me. I didn't trust myself to be able to control my temper around that bloodsucker. I remembered on one of the rare occasions Bella talked about Cullen she told me that he could read minds. I was going to recite the most annoying song I could think of in my mind over and over again. I didn't want to take a chance on him knowing about the imprint.
