Here you guys go! I was pretty low on reviews for the last chapter :( Let's try to fix that! I am sorry that the past few chapters have been short, I haven't had a lot of time to write. Do you prefer short, frequent chapters or long distant chapters? Let me know! ~ Lexi

JACOB'S POV

My dad was saying the legends that we had all heard a million times before. Embry was on one side of me and Bella was on the other. I really miss her being around here as she just to be. I should have known that it was too good to last, but we really had a lot of fun together.

Then she had to go and bring all those bloodsuckers back here, and I'm lucky if I can even get a "Hey Jake!" out of her. It is unbelievable.

Speaking of Bella, she hasn't said much tonight. I hope she's feeling okay. I turn to her just to check on her and she is sweating like a dog (no pun intended). She looks wicked pale too.

"Bells, are you okay? You look really pale, maybe we should go cool you off..."

I couldn't even finish my sentence and she was unconscious in my arms. I picked her up and ran back to my place. I really hope I didn't make a scene. I think that Embry and Sam were behind me on their way to help out. Embry because he's my friend, and Sam because he has a duty. Blah.

Once I got to my place I didn't hesitate to rip her shirt off. I had a feeling she was dehydrated or something, so when Embry got in I yelled at him to get some water. Once I got her shirt off, I immediately wished I didn't.

Covering her body were little scars, big scars, and medium scars. They're dead. I thought to myself. Bella wouldn't have done this to herself would she? No, she couldn't have, she's Bella for crying out loud!

I picked up her phone and dialed the bloodsucker's cell while Embry and Sam were trying to revive Bella. Sam got one of Emily's tank tops for her, that was why he took longer.

It only took one ring for him answer.

"Bella? Are you okay?" there was true panic sound in his voice.

"Bella's a bit tied up at the moment, but I need you to listen before you go blaming anybody, kay?" I asked, not needing any problems at the moment.

"I swear on my dead mother's grave that if you hurt her Jacob Black, I will make it so you will only run on three legs instead of four." Was that threat? I could've done better than that. I heard a car revving in the background of his phone.

"Look, Cullen, she passed out because it was too hot for her and she was wearing a long sleeved shirt. We replaced that with tank-top and in the process noticed scars covering every inch of her body. Care to explain leech?"

The car slowed down.

"Oh, that. Well, Bella had some difficulty with coming to terms with what happened in the course of the last six months, so she found out a way for her to give into her emotions. She cuts herself. We are trying to figure out way to help her, but she is becomes extremely difficult and defensive whenever the subject matter comes up," he explained slowly.

"Okay, well maybe you should come get her then, I'm probably just going to get mad and that wouldn't be good for her," I suggested seriously.

"No it wouldn't. If you could just bring her to the line, I'll bring her to Carlisle to get checked up on. I want to make sure it wasn't a heat stroke. Is she conscious yet?"

"Umm..." I turned around to check on her and she wasn't up yet "not really, no."

"Okay. Thank you Jacob. I'll see you in a few minutes. I'm sorry you had to hear this from me and not her."

"Yeah, real sorry."

Embry helped me get Bella into the car and we drove to the treaty line. Of course her bloodsucker boyfriend was already there. He ran up to me and took her out of my arms.

"Thank you again Jacob. I can call you for an update if you wish, or I can have Bella call you, whatever you prefer."

"Sure, have Bella call me. I want to talk to her about...well you know."
"Yes I do, just don't be too harsh on her, this is touchy subject for her. Oh, and Charlie doesn't know and she would like it to stay that way. I figure, we give her three weeks maximum for her to try and stop, and if she is still cutting, we'll tell him then. It is what's in her best interest Jacob, not mine. I would've told Charlie at the beginning if I didn't think it would just make things worse."

"Yeah. Thanks leech."

"Anytime mutt."

I just turned around and phased. I didn't want to deal with anyone for a while. I was going of on another "adventure" and this time, I honestly didn't know if I was coming back. Bella was sick, I couldn't tell Charlie, even if she was healthy she couldn't even tell me she was having issues. I might as well be a ghost. What was the point in that?
