Quick AN! Please review! Love you guys!

BPOV:

Where was Edward? He should have been back by now. Sometimes I truly did hate how human I was. If I didn't have to sleep Edward would have never been able to leave. No, scratch that, if I was a vampire, I could have taken Jacob down right away and all of this could have been averted.

"Hey, help me out here and try to reign in your emotions," Jasper teased as an obvious way on trying to get me to lighten up.

"Sorry Jasper I just can't help it. What if Edward does something stupid? What if he gets into a fight with the wolves and there is a war? What will happen to him? To you? To all of your family?"

I could feel myself start to hyperventilate followed by a wave of calm.

"Thanks," I muttered.

"Any time. And Edward and everyone is going to be fine. I promise."

I suddenly felt this love for Jasper as the brother I never had. I could see surprise in Jasper's eyes just before I reached out and gave him a giant hug.

"Thank you for being there for me, for not leaving me. Your like my big brother. Thank you for everything."

"Bella, you are my little sister. You have been since the day you met Edward. Don't worry, everyone will be fine and nobody, including you, will ever be hurt again."

"Amen!" Cried Emmett who seemed to appear miraculously in the doorway.

"Emmett your back!"

We embraced each other in one of those bear hugs. Next, Alice came dancing towards me wearing a huge smile on her face that is usually reserved for when she gets 7-inch designer heels.

"Oh Bella, it's so good to see again!" Alice cried.

"Ya what a bummer being blind," I teased.

My body found Edward before my eyes did and I was in his arms, kissing everywhere I could, his shoulders, his neck, his jaw, trying to convince myself he was here and safe.

"Oh Edward! Please please don't leave me again!"

"Bella I'm so sorry. You know I didn't leave you. I would never leave you. I love you."

With that he gave me a kiss that was not short but not nearly long enough for me.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"So what did Sam say?"

Edward seemed to look uncomfortable and I could feel my panic rising. Edward must have heard my increased heart rate because he quickly tried to reassure me.

"No nothing bad happened. See? We're all in one piece! Sam, well Sam gave us permission to kill Jacob but we have to kill him on our land."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"No war?"

"No war."

By now the others had left to give us some privacy. Right now I was too ashamed to ask what I was wanting to.

"What is it?" Sometimes I really think Edward can read my mind.

"Nothing." God I hate being a terrible liar.

"Bella please you can tell me anything."

"Well, does wanting Jacob dead make me a bad person, a monster?"

This whole time my eyes were cast on the floor but I risked a peak at Edward's face now. There was utter shock and disbelief in his eyes. Now, I was wrapped in those cold arms I loved being pressed up against his stone chest.

"Bella, you are an angel. Never, never, think you are a monster. Jacob deserves to rot in hell for eternity for even laying a finger on you. I would never think you any less than a goddess. You have every right to want Jacob dead. The Jacob you knew as a friend is gone. You were mumbling about that in your sleep. Jacob, as long as he's alive, is out there and..."

Edward seemed reluctant to finish.

"Please go on."

"I'm think, no, I know, that he's not going to stop until he has you."

"Oh my god."

The fear was back. Jacob would hunt me down.

"Please don't let him touch me again. No more. Please."

"Bella I swear to you I will never let anyone hurt you ever again."

God, I could stay in his arms forever and not get tired of it. His smell, his eyes, his body...

"Bella!"

Me and Edward groaned simultaneously at Alice.

"Oh don't give me any of that! Charlie is expecting you home today and you need to get going! If your not back by sundown he's going to call in SWAT to come charging in this house."

Ya that sounds like Charlie.

"Fine thanks Alice."

"Hey," Edward said tilting my face towards his. "I'll take care of Jacob. You will never have to live in fear. I will always be here protecting you."

"I love you."

"I love you more. Now you get over here." With that he swung me on his back and the wind was flying through my hair.
