Bella POV

I woke up late on Sunday. Charlie had gone fishing with Billy and left a note not to cook because they wouldn't be back until 9 or 10. I had the whole day to myself. I had neglected the cleaning and washing for the last week so I decided to catch up. I scrubbed the floors, only slipping over twice, and then started on the dusting when the phone rang.

"Hello?" I muttered.

"Bella, its Jacob," a familiar voice announced, "What are you doing today?" he asked.

"Just cleaning," I responded

"Ew yuck, that sounds fun!" he sarcastically remarked. "Wanna hang out, I need a hand with some Physics stuff."

"Sure, you'll have to watch TV or something while I finish up though," I told him. He seemed to be in a good mood, and this was friendly, matey stuff.

"Ok, I'm on my way, see you soon."

He had already hung up before I could say anything more. I quickly went to change my pj's for a pair of trackies and a hoodie and make my bed. I bought down all the towels and cloths from the bathroom to be washed. I turned the machine on as there was a knock on the door. Jacob can't be here already I thought.

I opened the door to see Rosalie and Alice standing, arms folded in front of me. "I'm busy," I scolded, trying to push the door closed.

"We don't care," said Alice holding the door open.

"What do you want? I already apologised. I don't owe either of you two anything," I wasn't in the mood for bullshit. I couldn't wait for Jacob to get there and sort them out.

Rosalie moved quickly, grabbing my throat, pushing me against a wall. She laughed and Alice just shook her head. I heard Jacob's rabbit pull up.

"What the fuck is going on?" he yelled.

"Oh, we're just having a little fun with Bella," Alice said as Rosalie pushed her hand further up my throat.

"Jake, help," I whimpered as he phased, obviously needing support from the pack.

A few seconds later two more wolves turned up. Alice and Rosalie realised they were a man down and retreated, snarling.

"We'll be back Bella," Rosalie snapped as I fell to the floor in tears. I heard Jacob phase then open the car door, and close it again. Great, I thought. He thinks I'm getting messed up with the Cullen's again. Two arms pulled me up off the floor. I opened my eyes, still hyperventilating to see Jacob and Jared holding me up. They helped me towards the couch, sitting me down gently, before each claiming a seat alongside. Jacob bought me a glass of water while Jared pulled the blanket off the back of the couch for me.

"What the fuck just happened Bells?" Jacob asked

I cut to the chase telling him exactly what happened.

"You sure you're ok?" Jared questioned, looking worried that I was about to go into a bout of delayed concussion.

"I'm fine," I moaned, "lucky Jacob got here when he did though. Come on we've got some hanging out to do," I said, taking control.

They both chuckled gently as Jared stood up, "if everything is under control here, I'll go back to help Sam on patrol," he said.

"It's all good now. Thanks for helping me," I said.

"No worries hun, take care of yourself," he responded, shaking Jacob's hand as he walked past.

Jacob sat with a worried expression for awhile. "Whatcha thinking?" I asked him.

"Bella, you didn't ask them here did you?" he shot back.

"Jacob, seriously would you listen to me. I left them all, not just Edward. I don't want anything to do with them anymore," I responded, telling him exactly how it was. "Now come on, lets not dwell on it. Where are your books? I thought we were hanging today,"

" um yeah sure Bells. I'll get the books, they're in the car," he said, standing up.

He came back inside looking tense as ever. "Jake, relax, its ok," I told him as he collapsed onto the floor with his books. We worked for a few hours; it was getting easier as each conversation topic passed to relax. I hadn't finished cleaning that morning so he gave me a hand for awhile, flicking soap suds at me as he cleaned up the dishes from the night before. I laughed; he seemed to have come out of his shell a bit more. I had forgotten about his tendency to starve after a few hours until he started pulling things out of the fridge to make a sandwich. I put them away, "let's get pizza instead," I said already picking up the phone, dialling the number before ordering two pizzas. We watched TV while we waited, laughing at some stupid game show. The pizza arrived quickly and we ate in silence, eyes still fixed on the ridiculous show.

Not longer after, the conversation had died off a bit and everything was getting a bit uncomfortable again. Jacob stood up, biting his lip, "well I should go check in on the pack, I'll see you soon."

I nodded, and stood up to give him a quick hug. Charlie walked in at that exact moment, early of course. He raised his eyebrows as if to say "Oh yeah…?" before saying hi to Jacob and walking into the kitchen. I giggled as I saw Jacob to his car. "See ya soon Jake," I said as I waved goodbye.

I walked inside, Charlie met me at the door. "So, what's going on with you two?" he asked impatiently.

"Nothing Dad. He my best friend, nothing else," Yet I thought as walked back upstairs.
