I still love my beta Ry, just so yall know. She is just very busy right now...

Previous chapter: At that moment, I could only think of one single reply. As lame as it was and with out thinking of his response and forgetting about the other people in the room I stated "you never returned my calls!"

Chapter 7

Bella's POV

Jacob looked down at his shoeless feet. oviously ashamed with a moment of bashfullness "Sorry Bells." He breath out, liked he was in pain "Sorry about everything, the lies, ignoring you. Breaking my promise. I have been terrible. I-I-I" and then Jake did something that made the whole room gasp in disbelief. He started sobbing, real tears and everything with loud hicupping gasps of air and moaning. He single handedly made my heart break…I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his huge muscled torso.

"I know Jake. I mean, I am sorry to. I know it wasn't your fault. It wasn't what you wanted. I should have never said anything. Forgive me Jake?" I pleaded to him. "It's just been so long. We need to talk, I guess." He held on to me as I held on to him, as if the world was going to end. All time, space and people disappeared as I embraced my long lost best friend. I felt whole and complete again, once more. It could have been minutes or hours that we stayed this way, with Jake in my arms, and I in his. His warmth and strength gave me the insurance I needed that not all my efforts were futile. I could feel his heart thudding in his bare chest as it moved slowly in and out inhaling the same air I inhaled, and in this endless moment I knew without a doubt I could put everything in my past were it belonged with his help. I knew I could handle whatever the future held with him by my side but most of all I knew that no higher being or greater alpha power would ever be able to tear him and I apart again. We were best friends, united with ties stronger than anything anybody else could break. The only thing that could ever stand in our way was us and with a lot of effort we could break that trend too.

After several throat clearings and coughs, and a big bump we were brought out of our Jubilant reuniting. I looked behind him to a very confused and surprised face of one, Quill Attera. I pulled away from Jake and backed away from the door with his hand in mine pulling him along with me. I looked to the other people in the room noticing several snickers and grins on there faces. "Sorry guys" I said. "I just haven't been able to see my friends in a long time."

"Bella, don't pay attention to them." Jake said in an annoyed voice "they our way to nosey for there own damn good and this is none of there business." He said firmly daring anybody to contradict him.

The room had quickly filled. There wasn't even much standing room left. It was getting hot inside also with all the body heat from the wolves working together like a giant furnace.

"Let's go out back." Sam said to everybody. "I held back so we could walk by Leah and Seth. "I felt like, if I would have any kind of support in the group it would be from Leah and Jake. Quill hung back with us and we all exited the house in a group. Sam stood on one side of the yard with Embry, Paul and Jared and Emily by his side and I stood facing him with Leah, Jake, Seth and Quill by my side. "Let's get started then. We don't usually have guest during our meeting but Leah already informed us it would be ok since Bella already knows and Emily will know eventually." Sam stated to get us all on an equal discussion field while winking at Emily.

I gripped Jakes hand harder while looking to Leah for reasurance on all this.

"Bella, I trust that Leah has told you what you wanted to know about us?" Sam asked to start us off. I just nodded, not confidant enough to speak yet. "Did she tell you the terms of you knowing?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yes she did. I am to go to school on the res. Because you don't trust me enough to not be a blabbermouth. I said while making my best effort at an accusing stare at him. The other guys all snickered a little except Jake and Leah. I heard a low rumble from Jake. I glanced up to see a warning look on his chiseled face.

"Jake calm down, I am just making sure she knows everything." Sam said quieting down the pack. "So it is all set for Tuesday then. I talked to the Elders and they made the arrangements. Billy and Harry talked to Charlie tonight and he agreed as well. They think it is Bella and Leah's idea so they can hang out more or something like that so stick to that story if anybody asks why." The pack all nodded in response to Sam's demands. "So Leah, why did you call us all here tonight?" Sam finally asked.

"Well, while Bella and I were discussing the ins and outs of the werewolf world I discovered that she knows of this red head we have been chasing. She said that the leach in the field yall killed the other day told her that the red head was after her, for revenge." Leah said boldly. I looked at her, thanking her with my eyes for leaving out the parts about Edward but that secret was short lived.

"Why does she want revenge on you, Bella?" Sam asked killing any thankful vibe I had now.

"Because" I started scuffing the toe of my shoe in the grass while looking down. "I am the reason her mate is dead. He was hunting me last spring. Edward killed him now she wants revenge. She thinks if she takes Edwards mate then things will be equal." I stammered. AS I was looking around at all the eyes staring back at me.

Paul sneered. "And why should we risk our lives to protect you, you are the leech lover, if we give you to her then she will leave us alone." he said viciously.

All of a sudden, Jake started growling at Paul fiercely. "Leave her alone Paul. She isn't with them anymore." he said back defensively.

"Why should I? I am saying what everyone else is thinking! If the stupid vampires were here now, I bet you she would be with them now, and not holding your hand and stringing you along." He stated getting agrier by the second at the confrontation.

He barely got out those words before Jake ripped his hand from mine took two huge steps away from me and phased. His beautiful toned and copper skin turning instantly into smooth silky russet colored fur. At that moment, Paul phased also and they leapt at each other's throats with thunderous growls. Leah jerked my hand, pulling me away from the ball of wolf furry just as I was leaning in to go to Jakes aid.

"What the fuck are you doing are you crazy, you can't help him. At that moment, Seth phased also and without a look back at his screaming sister, he ran to join the fight. I heard a yelp but I could not make out anything else that was going on because of the accelerated movements. Leah continued to drag me inside the house "Bella, stay in here, you will be safe I need to check on Seth, ok." she ordered me and before I could even turn my head she had phased and was off chasing her brother into the forest were the snarling and growling could be heard now. All the guys had disappeared leaving only Emily and I staring at the empty back yard and forest wall surrounding it.

"I'm so sorry" I sputtered out toward Emily's direction. "I did not mean for any of this to happen.

"I know, Bella. It just does. Paul is the hot head of the group. It really does happen regularly. He really should not have said that about you." She said too gently for the person I imagined her to be, according to Leah. I looked up in her eyes to see the sincerity there and smiled at her caring eyes. "Do you want some sweat tea?" she offered me.

"I nodded my head "that would be nice." I said shyly

"So apparently you are the famous vampire girl then. Isabella Swan." she asked me.

"I grinned at her and you are the wolf girl?" I teased back.

She took my mocking in stride as she held out a tall glass of sweat tea "Emily Young" she introduced herself with a smile.

"So, how long do you think this will take?" I asked motioning to the yard were the pack had disappeared.

"Oh, Sam will let them duke it out a bit, but he will end it before anybody gets really hurt." she said with a grin. "You know he sees himself as a self nominated father to those guys. He really does care for them all."

"I guess I haven't had that much of a chance to really know him then because all I know is what happened between him and Leah and his ordering Jake not to see me." I stated truthfully, as I sat down at one of the kitchen chairs with the cool glass in my hand.

I took a sip, noticing the hint of mint and lemon. It was really good.

Leah giggled a little at me "I guess that is true, you have been hanging out with Leah and Jake and they are the ones that have had the most trouble with Sam's authority lately." she said. "It is understandable how they feel though, I would probably feel the same way if I were in there shoe's" she said. She reminded me so much of Esme. It tore at my heart as I clutched at the delicious tea and listened to her soft lulling voice. I had completely forgotten about her ugly scars across her face as her kindness and inner beauty shown threw.

We sat and chatted for a little longer when the door swung open and all the guys came inside.

I watched Emily fill various mismatched glasses with Ice and then tea as they found suitable seats all over the living area and kitchen once again filling the small space. Embry looked my way and said with a grin "see why we have the meetings outside?" He got a smack across the head for that comment from Emily as the laughter bellowed through out the house. Paul sauntered in last walking up to me.

"Sorry I was so rude." he mumbled and then found his own seat on the arm of the couch. The pack kept up there easy bantering for a while longer. I just listened, still not very comfortable with everyone at once. I watched Leah and Seth through out this time, noticing how Leah defended her brother almost as a mother defended her child. She was very protective over him. Jake never spoke often but it seemed like when he did the entire pack would listen up for what he had to say.

After a little while longer, I began to yawn, Leah and Jake both jumped up together ready to escort me home. I laughed at there eagerness "I guess I am really tired, it has been a long day." I said around another yawn" I scooted the kitchen chair out and stood up stretching.

"Bella, I can take you home in the rabbit if you would rather that kind of transportation." Jake asked me. I looked over at Leah who was sitting back down on the loveseat beside Embry. She leaned back and crossed her legs.

"Sure Jake, but I think she liked my ride way better than that rickety piece of crap you have been trying to fix up" Leah argued, looking at Jake and me at the same time.

"Yea, it was cool Leah but umm I think I will go with Jake this time." I said nervously really afraid I would offend her.

She laughed aloud "Go Bella, get the hell out of her before I get bored with ya!" she said jeering at me now.

"Oh, don't worry Lee-lee. I am outta here. See ya later, k?" I responded. Smiling at her mostly, but also intending it for everyone. Quill was watching everything with disappointment in his eyes. I guess I hadn't really spoken to him tonight at all. Oh well, it wasn't as if we were in a committed relationship or anything, crap happens right? I thought to myself, but I did lift my hand a little to wiggle my fingers bye toward him too. He smiled and waved back.

I headed out the front door with Jake at my heels. Upon leaving the house, I noticed an empty from yard. There was no car out there.

"We are going to have to go get my car. I don't normally use it anymore." Jacob told me as he walked passed me grabbing my hand and pulling me with him.

"Jake?" he paused for a minute, and turned back to look at me. I guess it was the tone of my voice that made him stop rather than the question its self. "Thank you" I stated to him simply.

Jake cracked a smile on his beautiful face "for what, Bella?" he asked me still grinning.

I looked down at my shoes took a deep breath then looked into his deep brown orbs. "You came back to me." I said gently, while trying to get the point across about how much it truly meant to me.

"Bella, I am so sorry, I broke my promise. I keep breaking my promises too you Bella." He said.

"Jake, we don't have to keep dong this too each other." I pleaded to him.

"Yes we do, Bella there will always be something. Something that we will have to get through." He moved closer to me while he spoke, he slowly reach out and put his hand on the back of my nape. We were just inches apart now. I looked up from his beautifully chiseled chest too his massively wide shoulders up into his rich chocolate eyes.

"Bella?" I could feel my throat get thick as I watched the desire and love rage through his eyes in desperation. "Que Quowle" He leaned in closer his hot breath warmed my chilled skin while his other arm snaked around my back holding my weight easily as I leaned on him, and reached up to gently let my finger tips trace the lines of the muscles on his broad shoulders. I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent, his breath; every thing about my Jacob filled my senses filling my mind and spirit with complete relaxation. Are noses touched first as he searched for the courage to complete his long journey to my mouth. I reached my other hand back around his neck tightening my grip on him with reassurance as he made the final few inches to my mouth and finally met my lips. All the timidness and awkwardness left from him when he met my lips. A shiver raced up the course of my spine and my broken and tattered heart started racing again. There was a small little voice in the back of my head telling me to run and panic but it was quickly engulfed by my desire to give in and quit fighting this thing, for the moment anyway.

The first small touch was just a whispering caress, from Jacob's over heated but very gentle and soft lips. When my exploring hands drifted down to his beautifully tanned and firm pecs Jacob took it as an invitation for more.

Moving slowly and assuredly I let Jacob guide me enjoying the feel of his full lips on mine, learning each crevice and outline. Seizing the opportunity, I guided my tongue, letting it flick and tease over Jacob's lower lip, sweeping around the curve of his mouth in an enticing dance before slipping between his lips. I shivered with the shock of electricity, Jacob's taste sent down my spine; it had the remnants of the sweet tea that we had drank at Emily's with the strong heat of his masculinity. His tongue curled around mine, stroking along it and building the fire within. My hands flattened against Jake's ripplely abdomen and slid higher, over the tanned shoulders and around his strong thick neck. The movement brought my body firmly against his, and I revealed in the contrast of Jake's toned body against my smaller, soft, form.

He sucked softly on my bottom lip, and I shuddered against him. I was completely helpless to stop the small barely audible moan that formed deep within my chest and escaped. Jakes free hand scooted down the curves of my body, and around toward my back to cup my butt, and pull my hips hard into his own. My heart was pounding and the blood was screaming in my ears until I was certain I was minutes away from fainting. The pure pleasure of Jake's kiss had my head spinning completely out of control.

Jacob released my tongue, and eased back just enough so that his lips did not fully leave mine but allowed me to catch a breath. His arms did not release their strong and sturdy hold, which I was grateful for. Deep brown eyes locked on mine, and I noticed there shade was darker than normal. I wondered if my eyes mirrored the same desire as I clearly saw in his.

With both of us breathing hard, we gazed at each other another long moment.

I could not help but smile as I realized that my very steaming hot best friend was not so undesirable after all! Actually, he was quite the opposite.
