"I really think we should wait for Jacob, Bells. He said he would come." Casey said for the fifth time as she looked over the cliff's edge.

"That was an hour ago and I'm tired of waiting."

"Can you even swim, Bella?"

"Of course I can swim Casey!" I snapped.

"I think we should wait."

"I think you're chicken."

"I am not chicken."

"Then let's do this."

I watched as Casey looked over the edge again, shaking her head.

"Bella, this is crazy. Do not do this!" an angry velvet voice told me. I smiled to myself.

"I ain't chicken," Casey's accent drawled out again.

"This is ridiculous, Bella. You could kill yourself."

You wanted me to be human, I thought back at Edward.

"Come on, Case!" I yelled. I ignored what Casey had been telling me and what Edward had said in my head.

I took a running start before diving into the water.

"Bella!" I heard both the voice actually here and the voice in my head yell at the same time before everything else became a whistle in the wind.

I screamed as I dropped through the open air like a meteor, but it was a scream of exhilaration and not fear. I twirled around as I plummeted towards the ocean. I sliced through the surface of the water and was greeted by the icy cold. I plunged deeper in to the water, proud of myself for the lack of fear.

Then the current caught me.

I never thought the danger could be the water itself. I only considered the height of the cliff and the rocks below. It began to feel like the waves were fighting me, like they were trying to pull me under. There was no way I could swim out of this and as I fought to keep my breath in the lightheadedness became harder to deny.

My delusion of Edward was there of course, and he begged me not to give up, but my flailing arms were becoming cold and heavy and giving up was starting to look like a really good idea. The dizziness was starting to intensify and the burn in my lungs began to fade as I sunk deeper and deeper in the black water.

"No, Bella, no!" he yelled. My ears were flooded with freezing water, but his voice was clearer than ever. My eyes began to shut and the last thing I saw before letting the darkness engulf me was honey blonde hair.

"C'mon Bella! Breathe!"

"Smack her again!"

The waterfall pouring from my mouth kept me from catching my breath like the voice told me. Only this voice didn't belong to the angel that was under water with me and neither did the other one. Then a rock hit me right in between the shoulder blades and another flood of water choked out of my mouth.

Black spots blurred my vision and dizziness overtook me again.

The rock banged into my back again and I gasped for my breath.

"Wait, don't hit her again!"

I realized the rock wasn't cold like the water, it was warm. Then I realized it wasn't a rock at all, it was Jake's hand.

My head whirled and black spots covered everything.

"How long has she been unconscious?" This was a new voice. It didn't belong to Casey or Jacob, but it jarred me into a more focused awareness.

"I don't know," Jacob said frantically.

"She's breathing, she'll come around. We should move her so she can warm up." I recognized this voice; it belonged to Sam, the one who found me when Edward left.

"Do none of the guys here own shirts?" I heard Casey ask.

I chuckled weakly. Typical Case.

"Bella!" Jake gasped.

"Hey stupid," Casey greeted me.

I smiled at them. They were dripping wet and Casey was probably freezing just as bad as me.

"Hey," I croaked.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Jacob asked worriedly.

"J-j-just m-my th-th-thr-throat." I stuttered out.

"Speak English?" Casey asked sarcastically.

"Shut up Case," Jake growled.

"It's not my fault she's the dumbest person in the world."

"Let's just get her inside and you can both change into something warm," Sam said. "We can take her to Emily, I'm sure she won't mind lending you two clothes."

After going to Sam's house, his girlfriend Emily lent us some dry clothes. We ate dinner with the pack before heading back to my house. Casey continued to poke fun about my most recent adrenaline adventure. While it angered Jacob that she wouldn't let up, it made me happy to know she wasn't mad. She was the one that had to dive in after me first. It's one thing to risk my life; it's another to risk Casey's.

The three of us relaxed in my living room watching TV. Charlie was at Harry's funeral. Casey refused to go since she didn't know him and because she couldn't stand funerals. I didn't go because I also didn't really know him and I would feel awkward. Jacob didn't go because he had to 'babysit' me.

Casey was bouncing in her chair, eager to do something. She found no reason to just lay here for the rest of the day. I, on the other hand, was exhausted and refused to move. Jacob glared at Casey because she was encouraging me to do something with her and Jake insisted that I rest. Casey seemed to never need rest.

Then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Casey screamed, jumping off the couch and running to the door before Jake or I had a moment to react.

Jacob flew out his chair. "Leech," he growled.

"What?" I screeched. We both ran towards the door, every horrible scenario running through my head at top speed. "Casey, don't open it!" I screamed.

It was too late. Casey had already opened the door when Jacob got to her. He yanked Casey out of the way and put her behind him. I expected to see Victoria and I was terrified Casey would get hurt, but the tell tale mass of red hair was not there when I looked. It was a short spiky mess.

"Alice?"

;D
