Thanks to my fans for there reviews. Love you guys. Keep them coming.

It was the day of the bonfire and to be quite honest I was a little nervous. Bella and Cassie would both be their and they had only spent a few minutes together at the most since Cassie and I started dating. Now they were going to be spending a few hours. I prayed that I would be able to contain myself and not let Cassie see how deep my feeling for Bella truly ran. But that was easier said then done. When Bella's around its like no other girl exists. I can't help myself but I would try my hardest tonight.

I counted down the hours until the bonfire. I finally headed to Sam's and Emily's house where the bonfire was going to be. When I got there I swear my heart stopped from what I saw. Bella and Cassie were standing next to each other talking and helping Emily set a few last minute things up. I felt like I was going to puke. As I walked toward Bella and Cassie they both looked up at me and smiled at the exact same time. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I jumped when I heard someone call my name.

"Jake, dude you okay?" I looked to see it was Embry.

"Y-Yeah why?"

"Dude, I can hear your heart racing. You need to calm down." Embry said seeing that I was starting to shake.

"Right." I took a few deep breathes and calmed myself down. Embry caught on to why I was freaking out after a minute or so.

"Oh. I see. Bella and Cass. Jacob let me give you some advice. Don't screw what you and Cassie have up. You know I love Bella and she is pretty cool but its not worth it. She love the leech and after her mom gets better he will change her. Stop letting her hurt you." I had heard this same speech a million times over. They just didn't understand. My heart wouldn't let me let go of Bella. As long as she was still human in the back of my mind there was still a small chance that one day we could be together. If that day ever came I knew I would break Cassie's heart in exchange for Bella's. I'm horrible I know.

"Come on Jake. Just try and have fun tonight. Don't worry about that right now." Embry said.

"Yeah. I better go say Hi to Cassie and Bella."

"I'll come with you." We made our way over to the table table that Bella and Cassie were standing behind.

"Hey guys." Bella and Cassie said at the exact same time and then laughed about it.

"Hey girls." Embry said walking around the table to give them all a hug. I did the same. I gave Cassie a kiss on the lips and put my arms around her.

"Hey Jake, Embry." Emily said as she walked out of the house with a batch of freshly baked chocolate cookies. Embry reached out to grab on but Emily slapped his hand away.

"No sweets before dinner." Cassie,Bella and I laughed.

"Gosh Emily. Ever since you had a kid you have been really strict." Embry said rubbing his hand. Not that it actually hurt him.

"A lot of things change when you have a child. Get used to it." Emily said with a grin on her face.

"Where is the little pup anyway?" Embry asked.

"Please don't call my son that. We don't even know if he has the werewolf gene. It tends to skips a generation. Remember?"

"Okay then where is Eli?"

"He is playing with Claire in his room."

"Leah's I am so glad you could make it." Emily said as she spotted Leah just a few feet from us. The bonfire was really fun. It wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. Except for when I found myself sitting between Cassie and Bella. Cassie got up to go talked to Leah who was sitting across the fire from us.

"So Bell's, How is everything?" I asked.

"Okay."

"Thats good."

"Do you want to go for a walk?" She asked.

"Um. Sure." We got up and walked towards the pathway that lead to the woods.

"Wow. We haven't done this in a while." I said.

"I know. It's been to long."

"Yeah."

"I miss this. Us just being able to hang out. And talk."

"Me too Bells." As we got farther into the woods I saw her shiver so I automatically put my arm around her. I waited for her to say she was fine and push me away but instead she lend into my chest and started crying.

"I hate this Jake. Why does this have to happen to me? Haven't I been through enough over the last, What? Five years. Or how ever long its been."

"I know Bells. Believe me if I could make this better I would."

"Why cant she just beat it. I hate this. I don't want to lose her. I don't think I could live if she wasn't here. Please if there is a God in heaven let my mom beat this cancer." She said still crying looking up at the dark sky.

"I'm sorry there is nothing I can do Bells. All I can offer you is a shoulder to cry on or hopefully I can take your mind off the subject if its only a few for a few hours. You know I am here for you regardless."

"I know Jacob." She looked into my eyes. She took my face in her hands and pulled it down toward hers. Our faces were just inches apart now. I wanted to kiss her so badly and never stop but a picture flashed in my head of Cassie. I knew I had to stop this. If it wasn't definite that Bella and I were going to be together then I wouldn't hurt Cassie. I pulled away just before our lips touched. Bella's eye's opened when she didn't receive what she thought she would.

"I'm sorry Bella. I can't do this. I-I love Cassie to much."

"Oh my gosh. No Jacob I am sorry. I shouldn't have even thought about that. I am so sorry."

"It's fine Bells. It was just a moment of weakness. We were talking about your mom and you just got caught up in your emotions."

"I think I will go now. I'm sorry Jake." She said as she started running back toward Emily's house.

"Bella, wait." I ran to catch up with her which on took me a few strides. I grab her arm and stopped her.

"Jake, just let me go. I fill awful. I just want to go home."

"Fine. But just promise me you wont beat yourself up about this." Bella just stood there looking at the ground.

"Promise me." I said as I lifted her chin up and made her look at me.

"I promise."

"Pinky promise." I said with a smile but held my pinky out for her to take in her own.

"Jake, don't you think we are a little old for this?" She said with a smile.

"Your never to old." She laughed and locked her pinky with mine.

"Now you have to promise me something." She said.

"Anything."

"Don't tell anyone about what happened. I don't want it getting back to Edward. I know its kind of hard with the phasing and all but if you could at least try."

"I promise. I can keep certain thing to myself if I really want to. So I will keep this to myself."

"Thanks Jake. I should really be going though. Thanks for inviting me."

"Anytime Bells." I said as we walked toward Emily's house. Bella said goodbye to everyone and I walked her to her car.

"Drive safe. And call me when you get home." I said as she got into the car.

"I will. And thanks again. For everything."

"No problem. Love you Bells."

"Love you to Jake. Talk to you later." She said and then pulled out of the drive way.
