I am thrilled you all love how we played Jake in the last chapter. I thought that was a perfect reaction to Jessica and I'm glad you agree. Don't worry you will see more of both boys getting into their protective and angry selves. Oh and there will be something big coming soon...I am very wicked when it comes to drama.

As always I don't claim any of the names of places I am only using them for my story and no profit will come from it.

I was use to all the rumors and gossip, but even I was not sure how to handle what Jessica said and just sat there wishing the day would end. But than when I looked up and saw Jake dump his tray on her I was just shocked and confused where that came from. It was just so odd to see Jake this upset and than when he was yelling at her I sat in complete shock unsure how to react. A part of me was actually happy to see him standing up for me yet at the same time hurt that he was going to be in trouble for it. Biting my lip I just looked away when Embry pulled him out of the cafeteria and Jessica rushed out to the bathroom shortly after. But I did smirk some she got what she deserved that time. Hearing the announcement I sighed and was about to shift up guessing I might have to find another way home when Embry stuck his head back in and called me.

"See you later guys" Smiling slightly to them. "Later Bells and don't let them get to you. We all know the truth and that is all that matters." Kim spoke before smiling once more to me than turning her attention to Jared. Hearing her made me smile and I was grateful for all of them. I nodded grabbing my back and throwing my tray out before making my to them and ended up much to my surprise ditching the rest of the day with them. So Charlie might be pissed, but at the moment I didn't care just hearing what people said caused me to lose my concentration and my desire to even be around anyone. Leaning on Jake while holding Embry's hand as we slipped out the side and into the parking lot to leave. Curling up in the backseat of Jake's Rabbit closing my eyes not caring where they wanted to go, right now I just wanted to curl up and never wake up. Sighing softly before hearing Embry.

"So where should we go? La Push? Forks? Port Angelos? Bells any place you want us to go?"

Looking up at him seeing him watching me and I just shook my head curling back up once more. "No Embry you guys pick. Hey Jake...why...why did you do that to Jessica?" Lifting my eyes to him even thought he was driving wondering if it was for me or just cause he was sick of all the jokes and shit about them. Exhaling some pushing my hair back behind my ears as I let my eyes close waiting for what he said and just wanting to try and forget about this week. Unconsciously rubbing my arm something I found myself doing whenever I was upset or stressed, not sure why or even if it really helped but I still did it. Shifting some on the seat almost ready to fall asleep with the feel of the ride.


JACOB

Embry suggested we skip the rest of the school day and we did. We got Bella, leaving Paul to deal with the principle. We hoped in my car, leaving Embrys car in the school parking lot to get it later. (should have taken his, prob would have been better for my car since its old.) Watching Bella curl up in the back seat I just sighed. She let alot of things get to her that's why I'm here to hold her up be strong for her. Before I could say anything Embry asked "So where should we go? La Push, Forks? Port Angelos? Bells any place you want us to go?" he was looking into the back seat at her. I would just glance in the rear-view mirror at her. Shaking her head no I just drove and drove till we left Forks. "I guess Port Angelos sounds fun" I said staring out the windshield, it wasn't raining for once but looks like it was going to storm soon and it was freezing outside. Though let out a breath thinking about the reason why I had gone off on Jessica since Bella asked, "Bells, I'm sick of how people treat us, but more so how they treat you. Your so much better than any of those other girls and your a sweet, caring person who actually cares. Their rudeness just pushed me to my limits especially when they think your some kind of slut or whore. That just doesn't cut it with me, I am sorry for making a scene but I'm not sorry for what I said or what I did to her either." Sighing some softly waiting for her response, but after a short silence and nothing from her yet I began to worry. Was she really mad at me? Looking back at Bella she looked like she was going to fall asleep I didn't want to bug her so just let her nap till we get to wherever were going. Guessing I would have to explain again later, but that was fine. I did what I did really for her I was protective over her and nothing and no one was going to hurt her verbally or physically ever again.

15 minutes past still none of us spoke only the music of Saosin filled the car. Embry was texting on his phone and he looked pissed. Guess this would be the time to talk with him about how I felt towards Bella, since she was asleep well I hope she was."Whats wrong Em?" I asked turning on the right turn signal glancing over at him."It's nothing its just Brianna, bugging. Doing what she usually does, first she was like I want you back and I texted her back saying I don't want her anymore. And she said whatever she found someone anyway named Jasper. God what a bitch" he said softly looking out the window. I just shrugged biting my bottom lip "I never really liked her Em, she used you, toyed with your emotions there's plenty of others" I said trying to find something else to say. But he said Jasper what a weird name it sounds familiar like I heard the name before. Patted his shoulder with my right hand. "I know I know already have somebody in mind" he said smiling over at me. I raised one of my eyebrows "Who..." before I could finish I got cut off "Bella, I like Bella, maybe even love." he said flat out bluntly while smiling big. My head got fuzzy and I gripped the steering wheel tight. I couldn't even think straight, I was jealous and felt like I was going to pass out."Jake? JAKE! watch it!" Embry yelled taking the wheel. My thoughts right now to the words he had just shared, He wanted 'MY' Bella. The girl I was falling for that was just...it was just so unexpected and a part of me was wanting to beat the hell out of him. God what the hell was wrong with me? Embry was my brother, my closest friend and here I was thinking of beating the hell out of him over a girl.

Than again...this wasn't just any girl. This was Isabella Swan, the girl who came back into our lives and some how stole my heart. Problem was she stole my brothers heart as well.


EMBRY

I got into Jake's car after Bella took the back seat. I offered to take the back but she just said no she was fine. Watching her curl up in a ball, I heard Jake sigh while I just shook my head knowing she as going through alot right now. That little incident in the cafeteria no doubt only made her feel worse. I just asked where she wanted to go but she shook her head Jake said Port Angelos would be fun, I just agreed. All I could think about was what happened in the lunch room and Bella, wanting to just sit in the back seat with her being a comfort. Looking over at Jake I smiled and nodded."Yeah sure sounds good to me" my voice low as I spoke before feeling my phone buzz in my pocket. Grabbing it out I had a text from Brianna. Rolling my eyes I growled under my breathe. See she was my first girlfriend dated for about 2 years she was all artsy and like the same things I did. But than it just well got boring, I didn't feel the same anymore for her. About 15 minutes passed and noone said anything I was just texting away arguing with her. She was trying to get me mad by saying she found someone. "Whats wrong Em.?" Jake asked looking over at me."It's nothing its just Brianna, bugging, doing what she usually does. First she was like I want you back and I texted her back saying I don't want her anymore. Than she said whatever she found someone anyway named Jasper, God what a bitch" I said softly staring out the window but the name Jasper made me think hoping it wasn't the Jasper Billy and Charlie told us about Bella's ex cause I would kill him. Just the thought of what he did to her was enough to get me even more mad right now. But than I shook my head not wanting to believe it was the same guy, that was just too odd.
"I never really liked her Em, she used you, toyed with your emotions there's plenty of others" Jake said patting my shoulder and bringing me out of my thoughts. I kind of just shrugged his hand off. Others I thought to myself, I don't want plenty of others. Bella was the one I wanted, Brianna was my first love but she didn't matter only Bella did now. I just sat there looking out the window before looking over at Jake and then back at Bella who was still curled up sleeping. "I know I know I already have somebody in mind" I told him and thinking this would be the best time to tell him how I feel about Bella. Though I already knew he liked her just as much as I did but we never brought it up. "Who..." he was about to ask but I cut him off. "Bella I like Bella maybe even love her Jake" I said fast flat out and bluntly than added a smile while saying that. Watching him to see what he would say but he just gripped the steering wheele and started to swurve a little. Though I wasn't sure if it was what I just said or something else "Jake?.. Jake! watch it!" I yelled grabbing the wheel making the car pulled to the side of the road. Than looked at him slightly annoyed with his behavior especially since we had Bella with us asleep. "What the hell Jake!" My voice loud again not meaning to wake Bella up from my yelling. But seeing her pop up looking around in panic I suddenly felt bad. "Sorry guys, I ..I.. just got a little dizzy" he snapped looking at me and then smiled softly at Bella. "We'll talk later Bry" he said under his breathe. I just rolled my eyes "Yeah fine whatever just pay attention to the road Jake" I snapped back at him with attitude not in the mood at the moment. Having a feeling he was pissed at me for telling him I liked Bella but whatever he should have spoke up sooner. Slowly I just turned to Bella "Are you ok?" I asked her with worry in my voice, before turning back to Jake and seeing him glare at me. My gut started to turn these feelings were more then liking Bella it was a strange pull. And to be honest Jake was going to
