" Don't have to go today. I called, letting them know I needed some time." I said as Jacob placed a kiss upon my cheek. It's been about a week since the homecoming dance. We were at my school.

" I would at least like to give Bella a gift for her birthday, then just head out." Jacob said as he smiled. I nodded and he brought me into a kiss. Like always it felt like fireworks. I've noticed Jacob has become taller and a bit buffer.

" Bella." I called her out, she turned and smiled. I see Cullen and glare at him.

" Jacob! Jace!" She replied she walked up to us and smirked.

" Hello, biceps! You know, anabolic steroids are really bad for you." Bella said as I heard Jacob smiled and chuckle.

" Well, I'm just filling out, Bella. You know, wouldn't seem so drastic if we hung out more. with Jace, since we're dating and all." Jacob told her. I wrapped my arms around Jacob and he placed a kiss upon my forehead.

" That's good. Watching out for my younger sister." Bella said as I blushed.

" Thanks sis." I told her as she nods.

" I wish he would come here though." I said as I see Bella smile. I see behind her, Cullen staring harshly at me. But I don't care.

" I'm alright on the res babe." Jacob told me with a smile.

' I almost see you every day anyways." He said as I chuckled. Bella smiles at this.

" Why are you here? I thought you needed some time after what happened?" Bella asked. I sighed.

" Jacob was just buying a part for the Rabbit. Then date night and all that." I told her.

" Is he treating you right?" Bella asked as I nodded.

" He is like my one thing that keeps my anxiety away, give me confidence." I told her, she smiled then brought me into a hug. We parted and Jacob brought me back.

" Hey, happy birthday." Jacob said as Bella smiled.

" I saw this the other day. It catches bad dreams." Jacob said as he brought up the dreamcatcher he got for her. She took it and smiled.

" It's perfect." She replied. Jacob nodded with a smile before holding me close. I still see Cullen glaring at me. Why does he have a problem with me seeing Jacob? I'm none of his concern.

" See you soon." I said as Bella nods, I watched her go back to Cullen. He doesn't deserve to be called by his first name, after what he said about trying to keep Jacob away. I despise him. Cullen has no real power to keep Jacob away. Right?

" Lets get going before I pass out by just looking at Cullen." I said as Jacob kissed my forehead. I see from the corner of my eyes that Cullen was whispering something to Bella, who gave Jake and me a concerned look. Jacob then leads me to his car.

" Don't know why Cullen thinks he can keep me away from you Jacob." I said as he looked at me concerned.

" Lets head back to my place." I said as I felt a little offish. Jacob nodded then placed a kiss upon my lips. We then headed to my place and sat in my room.

" Hey. You been sleeping alright?" Jacob asked, I sighed.

" Not really." I replied as he laid me down and brought me close.

" Why? What's going on?" Jacob asked as I sighed.

" It's my concern. Being your boyfriend and all." Jacob whispered.

" Sometimes I feel like your going to up and disappear." I told him as I stared into his eyes.

" I promise you Jace. I'm not going anywhere. That I will never let anyone hurt you. Not on my watch." Jacob told me. I smiled and kissed him, letting his arms surround me. I then placed my head on his chest. We just held one another for the rest on the night.

" It feels so complete with you here Jacob. Like I can love again. Not worry about getting hurt." I told him as he just brought me in, I felt his hand go to my backs scar.

" I won't let anyone get close to you and hurt you." He whispered. I felt him kiss my forehead before he put his chin on top of my head.

" Now get some sleep. I'm not leaving your side tonight." Jacob whispered. I nodded and just held him. Letting sleep consume me.

The russet wolf laid in the forest and I laid my back on it.

" Everything is right with the world my protector wolf." I said as it laid its large head on my lap.

" I feel as if I know you." I said as I watched it get up, go into the woods, I see it becoming smaller.

I woke up to Jacob shaking me.

" What?" I asked as he sat me up.

" Bella's gone missing." He said as I shot up and out of bed.

" What! Why?" I whimpered as he and I went outside to see a lot of people surrounding the house.

" Dad?" I asked as he was against the car.

" Don't worry Jace. Well find her." Harry said as I felt tears coming up. He brought me in for a hug.

" It'll be ok." Harry whispered before giving over to Jacob. He brought me close as tears left my eyes.

" I'll try to call Cullens place again." Dad said as I looked at Jacob.

" The Cullens left town, Charlie." Billy told him.

" Wait the Cullens left?" I asked as Billy nodded.

" Good riddance!" Harry said as he looked at the map on my dad's police car.

" Where did they go?" Dad asked Billy, ho placed a hand on my back as Jacob had my front against him, letting me hear his heartbeat.

" We'll find her, Charlie." Harry told my father, who nodded. I see a very familiar person carrying my sister.

" Dad!" I called him, I see that Sam was tall, his hair was cut short and had my sister in his arms.

" She's alright." Sam called out. I watched as Dad took an unconscious Bella into his arms. I walked up to Sam.

" Thank you, Sam." I said as he nods, I walked back to Jacob.

" Stay with me?" I asked him. Jacob nodded and took me up to my room. We just laid in my bed, night remains. Letting peace rest us.
