I know I made a mistake on the last chapter: twelve eyes were not looking at her, eight were. If it were twelve, then every vampire would have three eyes. Sorry I multiplied wrong, no wonder I don't do well in algebra.

"Bella and I met in our Junior year of high school. She was my lab partner. After a few months of fighting each other, and myself, we were dating. By senior year we had been through hell and back. A vampire was tracking her, wanted her blood. Bella's blood smells really good to us by the way, better than any other human any of us have ever smelled. We ended up shipping her off to Phoenix for a while, and in the end I killed the idiot tracking her.

"Then…" he wasn't saying something. All of the beautiful faces around me were suddenly all frowning.

"What? What happened?" I asked, looking from face to face. Well I was confused. Jasper's face had something else on it, it took a second to name, guilt. What could he be guilty for?

"Go ahead Edward," Jasper motioned for him to continue. Alice turned to Jasper, "She needs to know that part to get the rest." He stood up, ignoring Alice, and walked out the front door. Alice followed with a very worried expression on her face.

"What did I say?" I asked myself. I was still looking at the front door where Alice and Jasper had left. Coming here may have been a bad idea.

"It was nothing." Edward said, "Jasper just made a mistake. Alice is Jasper's mate, she is just making sure he is alright."

"Oh"

"Anyway." Edward took a deep breath, "Bella's birthday…Huh?" Edward looked up to the wall, though I didn't think he was actually seeing it.

"What is it?"

"Your boyfriends on his way," He looked at me with a smile but it quickly faded, "and so is Bella."

"Bella's not supposed to be here?" I asked

"No. She is not to see Jake. That would make things very bad." He jumped up and was out the door in seconds.

"Well thanks." I mumbled standing.

"You may want to go outside and see the pup." Emmett suggested, "Just to show him your still alive and well and all that."

"Um…right." I said. Deep breath. This was not going to be pretty.

I steeped out the front door just as I saw the Rabbit pull up the drive. Before I could even move, Jake was up the steps and between Emmett and me.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" He asked. He had my shoulders in his hands, and was shaking me pretty hard. My head was bobbing back and forth. Then I was kissing him. As his lips touched mine I could tell how much I had scared him. Thanksgiving was all over him. My shoulders were at risk of breaking from the amount of pressure he was placing on them. A mumble of voices were going in one ear and out the other, no comprehension. One of my hands ran through his shoulder length hair, so slick. There was only heat again. Ever last piece of me was covered in it. I really don't even know how long we stood like that, but finally Jake pulled away, only to pull me into his arms and run me to the Rabbit. After I was in the car, seat belt on, did he turn to face the Cullens.

"You are never to touch her, speak to her, or even look at her, again." He stated. There was quite a bit of finality in his voice.

I looked out the window. Edward was about 10 feet form Jake and they were having a stare off. Suddenly, Edward's face contorted in pain. His hands went to his hears like he was trying not to listen to something.

"Jake! Jake what are you doing!?" God, Edward really was in pain.

"Just thinking." Jacob replied. His voice was smothered with a calm smugness. Edward was shaking his head. Just concentrate on my thoughts Edward. I screamed in my mind. Just forget about him and listen to me.

Before I knew what I was doing I was getting out of the car and running to the beautiful man writhing in pain. Only pay attention to me. I started to think of a movie I had watched a few with my mom a long time ago. It was my favorite movie, Count of Monte Cristo. Both of my hands were on his shoulders and I was looking into his eyes.

"Jacob stop it will you!!!" I shouted, not looking away from the heartbreaking eyes.

"What are you defending him for?" Jacob must have lost his concentration because Edward's face was back to normal.

I turned to look at Jake, "If Edward hadn't found me on the high way I very likely would have gotten lost, or hurt myself, or worse. So of course I am defending him. I owe him that much. I really don't know what you would have found if he hadn't gotten me off that bike."

Edward laughed behind me, "That speech sounds so familiar you have no idea."

Jacob spoke, "Well you are fine now." His whole body was having convulsions. Oops. Jake was in my best bear hug in seconds.

"Calm down Jacob. You're going to be fine. I won't ever talk to the Cullens again. Just calm down." I felt him slow to a stop. Those bear arms rapped around me.

Then we all heard a car. The car was old, because it sounded like thunder as it came down the drive. All of us turned to look at the sound. Down the road came an old, or maybe better called, ancient truck. The rust had changed the entire tint of the paint. When the truck was close enough to see the driver the breaks screeched. Who ever the diver was had pushed the breaks down hard.

"Bella" Jacob breathed. I was still in his arms so I felt it when his whole body tensed.

The driver got out of the cap. So this was Bella. This was the one I was so curious about. How was I going to react to her? Would I loath her? Would I feel sorry for her? Could we ever be friends? How would she react to me, The girl in her ex-best friend's arms? Would I be the one that was being loathed?

This was really supposed to be part of the last chapter so it all kinda goes together. I'm really not sure when I will post again. I had an outline for this story, but in the last couple chapters the whole think kinda went out the window. Jake wasn't supposed to know anything about Julius, Steph was to know the whole story from the Cullens and Bella and then go back to La Push. Jake knows nothing. Perfect example of a story writing itself. I may take some pieces from it, but it is going to be a lot different. I already have 5 hits on the last chapter and I posted it an hour ago! Yah!! You all rock!!
