It's getting colder. I'm out on Billy's couch, right beside the heater. Billy said he was going to bed, and if I needed, I could ring my 'father' again. I sat, staring at the heater, feeling a little tired. I want so badly to talk to Jake, but he's still in his room.
Jake came out a few minutes later, and I turned around to look at him.
"Hey. What's your name?" Jake said, walking over to the couch.
"Oh, Buffy." I replied, thinking he already knew.
"Oh, Yeah, that's right. Sorry, I'm kind of tired." He said, leaning back. His long hair was parted down the middle, and half of it was over either shoulders. His nicely chiseled chest wasn't covered by a shirt, instead, Jake only had a pair of ripped up denim shorts on. As I sat there freezing, I looked over to him.
"You're not cold?" I asked, making a face.
"No. You?" He said, turning his head towards me.
"Very." I replied, shaking lightly. He placed his arm over my shoulders, and pulled me into his stomach, resting me on his side. I winced lightly in pain, and he apologised quickly, but I soon settled in onto his chest.
Within 5 minutes, I was sleeping, and so was Jacob.

I felt a gush of cold wind come across me as I ran into the meadow once again, seeing the same two figures as I had the second time I went there. Yet, I still entered. It happened again, they fought me, I lost, but instead of Jasper biting my neck, he starts to kiss me, and roughly. I pull him up to my face and I kiss him back. We don't stop to kiss, even when I feel something fury against my arm. I try to open my eyes, turn my head and see what it is, but I can't. I'm too lost in the kiss. Jasper pushes me up against the tree, his hands now on my waist. He then pulls away from my mouth, and growls, pushing his teeth deep into my neck. I shriek with pain. This pain was much more intense then the pain of a vampire bite back in Sunnydale, California.

When I open my eyes the next morning, I'm sweating like crazy, and I feel a few hands on my shoulders and ankles. Just a dream.
I sit up, looking at Jake, who was holding onto my ankles.
"What are you doing?"
"You looked like you were havin' an epileptic fit. Jakey 'ere and Sam was just holdin' you down."
Jared answered. He looked very exhhausted and very, very tired.
"Oh." I said, looking back at Jake. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I answered with a small smile. I just need to get to school..." Sam and Jake let go of me, and Jake came to sit beside me.
"I could drive you if you want...?" Jake said, grabbing my hand. I looked at our entwined hands, then up at Jakes face.
"Okay."
Jacob lead me outside, and too the three cars in his yard. Expecting him to take me to the ute, I walked towards it. He yanked on my hand, and pulled me towards a small Red Rabbit.
"Sorry, Buff. This one's mine." He said, using his thumb to direct me to his car.
"Oh..." I said, smiling lightly. "This is your car?!" I said, almost bursting into laughter.
"Yes. Shutup." He let go of my hand and opened the door for me. I got in, grinning widely and he quickly lumbered into the car. He started his rabbit, and sped down the street which I had walked the night before.
"Tell me, Jake. How did you find me?" I said, staring out the front window.
"Umm... Last Tuesday night?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, Well. I was walking by myself, and I just saw you in the middle of this opening, and I walked over to you, but you didn't wake up. So I took you too the hospital in Forks."
"By yourself?" I asked, starting to smile.
"Yep. All by myself."
"Next time you lie to someone, make sure you get your story straight, kay?" I said, turning to him, a wide grin on my face.
"So, Seriously this time. How did you find me?"
"I was just walking, but with my friends. We saw you, and we took you to the hospital, okay? No more questions about it." He said sternly. I stopped smiling and turned to look at my feet, shoving my hands under my arm pits.
"You go to Forks High?" He asked after a long moment of silence as we saw the first few houses of Forks.
"Yeah." I replied emotionlessly, still looking down.
"Oh, Come on. I'm sorry, okay?" Jake said, turning to look at me as we passed a few shops, nearing the school.
"Okay." I replied, still remaining emotionless.
"Geez. Sorry, what can I do to make it up to you?"
"Tell me everything you know about Bella, and her boyfriend. Oh, and his family." I said, turning to Jake with excitement.
"Everything?"
"Yep."
"Right now?" He asked frowning.
"Yes, goddammit, now!" I said, banging my fist on the dashboard.
"Okay. Okay." He sighed, pulled over to the side of the road, and then began a rather long speil.
"I met Bella when we were really young. I'm about one year younger than her. Our dad's are best mates. She moved back here to Forks after her mom and her new step-dad Phil moved away cause of his baseball. He's only in minor league, but he's making good money. Anyway, I met up with her and gave her her new car that Charlie, her dad, bought from my dad. We spent some time together, and I learnt that I really, really liked her. Maybe, I love her. But then, she's goes to her school, and meets this idiot, Edward Cullen and likes him because he's 'amazingly beautiful' or something. So she gets together with him, and they fall in love, whilst here I am on the sidelines, my heart being ripped out of my chest by this... girl. Amazing girl. I love her, and she loves me. Just not in the same way. We love each other, but she says 'Edward is the one for me, Jake. I love him. He's the one.' That kills me. But anyway, Edwards family are probably the most amazing people you'd ever meet. Dr. Cullen; best doctor in Forks. The mom; she's the nicest woman in Forks. His family are just, supposedly, great people. Bella brags about them for hours, and here I am, smiling away at her remarks, whislt inside, I'm dieing, and I'm so angry that she can't share that with me..." He trailed off and sighed.
The whole time he spoke, my eyes were locked onto his, which were staring at his twidiling thumbs. I didn't speak as he paused. He sighed again, and looked up, straight into my eyes which startled me.
"She's gone now, you know. Edward, he's not good for her for a number of reasons. Now that they're together, they'll never be able to be seperated. I'll just be the heartbroken-best-friend-on-the-side-guy. She's... selfish, and terrible for doing this to me."
His face screwed up into a frown.
"And I almost had her. When Edward left... I could've had her. I almost did. But then that stupid Pixie came back and ruined it for us. and it turned out that... Bella wasn't ready to let go."
