Jacob POV

I couldn't deal with my frustration much more. I was over my anger; I wanted the same as she kept telling me she did, my best friend back. Charlie had taken Billy fishing for the day so as far as I knew Bella was at home on her own. I rang her to see if she could help me with some Physics. It was probably actually easy but the lack of attention I've paid in class lately hasn't helped my grades very well. She seemed happy to help me. I got ready as quickly as possible, driving the rabbit way over the limit. Within a mile of the Swan residence I could smell it. Bloodsucker. Surely she hadn't forgiven them. I was about to turn around and go home when I heard a painful scream. I drove faster. Pedal to the metal. I arrived to see the blonde bitch with her hand wrapped around Bella's throat and the pixie walking around. My first instinct was to get the pack. We couldn't kill them here because of the treaty but with at least 8 of us now, it might scare them away. I waited before phasing. Bella was in shock but still breathing. I phased in a panic "Guys, guys anyone out there" I thought.

"Jake, man what's up. We're about 500 yards from Bella's," Jared told me.

"Bloodsucker. Get here now," I warned him sharply. I knew someone else would be in tow.

A few seconds later, Jared and Sam turned up. They flanked me in wolf form as I walked towards the leeches. The blonde dropped her hand in a flash and they both ran to the car.

Sam went back into the woods to keep patrolling, Jared phased pulling on his shorts as I walked over to the Rabbit to pull out a spare pair of trackies. We walked up the stairs to help Bella up out of the heap she was in on the floor. Jared looked slightly worried. We sat her down, her breathing still sounding asthmatic. I bought her water, angry that those bloodsuckers had turned up again. I just hoped it was uninvited. "What the fuck just happened?" I asked her slightly impatiently. She told me exactly what happened up until when I arrived, how she answered because she thought it was me at the door.

"You sure you're ok?" Jared asked her as if she was about to drop into a coma at any second.

She sounded frustrated over the protectiveness of the situation. "I'm fine," she groaned"lucky Jacob got here when he did though. Come on we've got some hanging out to do,"

Aw because of me? Shucks Bells, I thought. Jared and I chuckled to ourselves. Bella instructed two over-sized teenage boys what to do. Jared stood up, "if everything is under control here, I'll go back to help Sam on patrol," he said. I nodded gratefully. Bella thanked him for his help, he warned her to take care as he shook my hand.

I sat, deep in thought for a few minutes. "Whatcha thinking?" she asked curiously.

"Bella, you didn't ask them here did you," I asked her. I couldn't help it. I was worried about losing my best friend, the love of my life, to my mortal enemy. Again.

"Jacob, seriously would you listen to me. I left them all, not just Edward. I don't want anything to do with them anymore. Now come on, lets not dwell on it. Where are your books? I thought we were hanging today," she replied sounded slightly pissed off that I would doubt her.

I stepped outside to get my books. I felt guilty for doubting her. Was I becoming like HIM? Overprotective in a bad way. I felt my shoulders tense up with the thought of him, and being anything like him. I went back inside and Bella sensed the tension. She told me to relax. I collapsed onto the floor next to her, anxious that she would think I was slightly thick with my work. She helped me catch up and get ahead a bit. We chatted lightly as we worked through the problems, about school, the pack, our dads and how they gossip like old ladies. I chilled out, enjoying the proximity and company I was sharing.

I helped her finish her cleaning, even though I hate nothing more than chores. I have enough of them at my own house. She giggled like a little girl when I flicked soap bubbles off the dishes at her. I was getting hungry now that we weren't working so hard. I opened the fridge so I could make something but she started putting everything back, offering pizza instead. I contemplated leaving but I was starting to really enjoy the day.

We watched a bit of TV while we waited. It was pretty lame but she seemed to enjoy it, laughing at the stupid stunts people failed on. We ate quietly. For once I had nothing to say. I was completely tongue tied. I decided now was probably a good time to go before things got anymore awkward. I stood up to leave. She followed suit, quickly wrapping her arms around my hips as I went to leave. Charlie walked in and I smirked. He looked amused, Bella pulled away quickly and walked me to the door giggling again.

I drove home with a huge grin on my face. I had my best friend back and got a nice hug. Charlie had obviously already rung Billy because when I got home I got the Spanish Inquisition. "Jacob Black," Dad said, "want to tell me something?" he asked, chuckling behind his beer.

"No, should I?" was my reply as I turned around, heading up the hall to my room.

"Behave yourself son," he called out, "Charlie's got a rifle remember," he laughed.

I shook my head, still smiling. I couldn't wait to see her again
