I know it's not as long as the last two, but it's just something to introduce you to what's going to happen very soon. I spoil y'all, I know. So many updates but this story is just screaming at me to write it. :D


I couldn't believe my ears. Was she really telling me she loved me? Yeah, she said it. She said that she loved me. I felt like I could fly. I have never been more happy than I am now. Not when she came and saw me that first time, not when she figured out I was a wolf, not even when she still wanted to be my friend even though I was a wolf. No, this moment beat them all. Not only did she need me, she loved me.

"Bells, honey, I love you too. God, how I love you."

- - - - -

I can't believe I just did that. I was planning on talking about it in a calm way, letting him know why I was scared and why I was hesitant. But, no, my stupid mouth and my stupid heart just pushed my brain out of the way. Why did I let it take over, even for that small second? A lot of damage can be done in seconds. But, I can't take it back now.

"Jake, let me finish. You mean so much to me. You're the best friend a girl can have. But, I'm scared. I'm scared of loving you."

I saw the look of hurt flash across his face. I hated that I had put it there. It wasn't fair to him.

"Bells, why? I won't hurt you, I promise. I'll love you forever. I'll do whatever you want. I would give you the moon if I could."

Why did he have to be so adorable? Or so strong? His hands had left mine and I immediately felt a sense of loss. He then placed his hands on my face, cupping my cheek. He looked deeply in my eyes.

"Bells, honey, why won't you just admit you want to be with me? I know you do. I see it in your eyes. And you don't just tell someone you love them if you don't mean it. Bells, I could make you so happy..."

I knew he was right. He could make me happy, happier than I have been in a long time. But was I ready for that? A relationship?

"Jacob...I know you can. I know I'd be happy...it's...what if..."

- - - - -

She had told me she loved me and then told me she was scared of that. I tried, I tried so hard to let her know she had nothing to be afraid of. That I would never leave her broken, or do anything that would ever cause her any kind of pain. She was just still so unsure. But, I wasn't about to give it up. She had told me what I wanted to hear. I knew she was giving in. Giving in to her heart, to us, to what she new was inevitable. Fate. We were supposed to be together. I knew that from the moment I looked at her. And she still came back even after I treated her so bad. She still wanted me.

"Bells, shh...let's talk about it? Let's talk about how you are feeling. I love you Bells. I know that in the past, when I was first phasing, I was harsh with you. I pushed you away. I know better now. This time I'll never let you go."

She looked up at me, love and confusion battling to be the strongest emotion in her eyes. I took her in my arms and held her tight as she started to cry into my chest. I knew she wanted me. I knew she loved me. And for that brief moment, I was truly happy.

That's when Quil and Embry ran up to me.

"Jake, buddy, you have to come. Grab Bella. Something important is happening. Sam needs us right away."

Great, way to ruin a moment guys.


Ah. What's happening? I can't wait to find out. Oh, wait, I know!
