Thank you so much for all of the reviews after the last chapter, I really appreciate it. I hope you like this chapter.

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Twilight.

I woke up, surrounded by Paul, Emily, Jared, Jacob, and Sam. When I opened my eyes, Paul gave out a sigh of relief and pulled me into a hug. I loved being in his arms. He was so warm and it made me feel safe, and it just felt right.

But too soon he pulled away and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That vampire with the red hair," I whispered, my voice strained. "I know her. Her name is Victoria and she wants to kill me."

Paul stiffened and put his arm around me. "Why?"

I groaned internally, not wanting to think about those memories. "Last spring when I was hurt in Phoenix, Victoria, her mate James, and Laurent, the one you killed in the meadow. They tried to kill me. James got me alone and he bit me."

I paused and showed them my hand with James teeth mark. They all gasped and Paul began to shake in anger.

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Paul. It's alright."

"Shouldn't you be like them if he bit you?" Jacob wondered.

"Edward sucked the venom out," I said in a lifeless tone, but I was surprised that I didn't start breaking down by the sound of his name. I wonder why that is.

"Victoria was furious about that and she thought since her mate was taken from her that his mate should be taken from him. But she doesn't know that it isn't like that between us anymore."

Paul pulled me into another hug, comforting me. I could now see what Emily meant when she said he would do anything for me. He was angry and wanted to hurt Edward, but he saw that I was upset and that I needed him, so he comforted me and did what I wanted.

"We'll give you two some privacy," Sam said and then they all walked out the door.

"Thank you," I said.

"For what?" Paul asked.

"For staying with me," I replied. "For helping me and comforting me after I was a jerk to you."

"It's nothing Bells. I hate it when your sad and upset, and I would do anything to see you happy again and make those bad feeling go away."

I laid my head against his chest. "Tonight we are having a bonfire down at the beach, would you like to come?"

"Sure," I replied, smiling.

"What do you want to do today?" He asked me.

"I'm not sure," I said.

Just then, Jacob came barging in. "I know what you can do today," he said enthusiastically.

"What?" Paul and I asked at the same time.

Jacob smiled at us and said, "Let's go cliff diving!"

Paul smiled, looking excited. "Jacob!" I whined. "I can't do that, I am going to end up killing myself."

"Don't worry Bells. Paul can keep you safe," Jacob said smugly, and I glared at him. He smiled sheepishly.

"Fine," I said.

"Thanks Bells," Jacob said and then he pulled me into one of his bone crushing hugs.

"Can't breathe!" I gasped and then Jacob set me down next to Paul, laughing.

I grumbled to myself and Paul put his arm around me and led me outside.

I am so sorry that it took me so long to update, but my school just got back from our trip to the East Coast. We had an amazing time and it also gave me a few ideas for the story. Thank you for all of the reviews on the last chapter and thank you for your patience. I will update again soon!
