Disclaimer: Own Twilight I do not (Yoda voice)

A/n: Well, there's not much to say right now, except to please review at the end of reading and tell me what you think. This chappy is dedicated to the movie The Notebook which I was watching as I wrote this chapter.

Chapter Nine: Splitting

"Just go to your pack now, Jacob; just leave me alone for right now." Bella said.

"Bella please, I'm sorry- I didn't mean what I said- I didn't mean to make your cry- Please Bella, just open the door." I begged. "Bella- I'm so sorry- I didn't mean it, It didn't come out right. I know I'm not perfect, not like you think Cullen is- but I will try my best to be as close to it as possible, and I never want to hurt you, so I won't bring it up again, Bella- I promise- please don't cry." she buried her face in my chest, and I held her tightly, my face buried in her hair, rocking her gently.

"Don't ever say I don't love you, Jake, just…don't…" she told me softly, muffled, into my shirt. I kissed her on the top of her head.

"I'm in love with you Bella Swan, I always have and I always will." I told her.

Then I woke up.

I was in my bed and was sweating feverishly. I sat up in my soaking bed and looked around my room. The sun was shining through my window and I had a blazing headache. It happened again…the dreams. I had to get rid of them before Rebecca found out. She was very touchy about these types of things. I got dressed and headed downstairs to find dad sitting in front of the television reading the newspaper.

"Dad, I need to go to Sam's." I told dad. Dad looked up in concern.

"Is there something wrong Jacob?" Dad asked me, sitting up in his chair and putting down the newspaper.

"Well…Sam said the dreams would stop…but I had one last night and yesterday- I even think I passed out because of one…and they're all of Bella Swan." I told him. Dad observed me for a moment then nodded his head.

"Go on, son, I'll have breakfast for you when you return." Dad told me. I thanked him then left the house. I decided to walk to Sam's house, just to take my time and think about things. I was about to change into my wolf form, but decided against it when I remembered the rest of the pack would be listening to my thoughts as well. The walk was long, but I needed to get a few things straight before I asked Sam for help. My dad used to tell me, when I had a problem, to list the things I do know about the problem, then list the things I don't know- then work on finding the answer to each little question you had about the problem to figure out how to solve it.

What I knew was that I had many dreams so far about Bella Swan. I knew that Bella and I barely knew each other- I believe and that when I entered in a room with her I passed out. I knew that there was something strange about her and that her boyfriend or whatever was a vampire. I knew that these dreams were giving me an unneeded distraction and that I should be focused on trying to take down the vampire elders and werewolf hunters.

What I didn't know was why Bella was in these weird dreams of mine's. I didn't know why I fainted when I saw her in person. I don't know why this all started on the last full moon. I don't know why I feel like I need Bella Swan and don't care about Rebecca. I don't know why I even love Rebecca. I don't know why I feel like my chest is splitting apart. I don't know why I keep forgetting things. I don't know why all of this is happening to me.

Now, I must find the answers to these questions. Easier said than done.

"Jacob?" I noticed that I had walked right to Sam's house without even noticing. Sam was in the garden, shirtless, with Emily; both were covered in dirt and had a shovel. One weird thing I knew about Sam was that when he needed to do some deep thinking he would garden. I suddenly felt rude for interrupting.

"Sam, sorry to come so early but I had another dream." I told him. Sam stood up and dusted the dirt off his pants and handed his shovel to Emily.

"I'll be right back darling." he told her. She nodded.

Sam walked me into the house and poured us both some coffee. He handed me a cup and then took a sip out of his own.

"How many have there been?" he asked me.

"Three or Four, and once I passed out in the middle of the day and had one." I answered.

"And they've all been about-"

"That Swan girl…she's friends with Phillip, Charles' brother, and she's friends with the Cullen leeches." I said. Sam nodded then took another sip of his coffee then put it back on his table.

"Do you ever feel strange? Not whole?" Sam asked me, staring at me intensely.

"All the time now, my chest feels…weird." I could only use that word to explain it.

"I believe we should just wait it out- I have no answer to why this may be happening, but maybe your mind is trying to tell your heart something…or…the other way around…." Sam said.

"Come in." Sam called. Emily walked into the room.

"There's someone here." she told us, but looked at Sam as if trying to tell him something secret through their eyes.

"Who?" Sam asked. Emily cleared her throat.

"Bella Swan."
