Jake and I were lying on the couch, snuggled up and watching movies. Right now we were watching Beauty and the Beast and I was singing along to Be Our Guest. I could feel Jake laughing behind me but I continued to sing along.

"Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest! Get your worries off your chest. Let us say for your entrée, We've an array; may we suggest: Try the bread! Try the soup!" I sang, watching Lumière dance around the mansion.

"What is it with girls and Disney movies?" Jake asked, running his hands up and down my back. "I don't understand; they're not that good."

I gasped and flipped us over. I pinned him down on the couch and used my full strength to hold him there. "What did you say?"

He gave me a smile and said, "I don't like Disney movies, they're not as good as everyone makes them out to be."

I let out a growl and bit him. I broke the skin and felt his blood enter my mouth; the warmth of it was lovely and the taste made my taste buds explode. I wanted to drink it all but I only took one mouthful before I pulled back to look at him.

He had his head thrown back and his eyes were closed. I started to freak out, what if I'd hurt him? Oh my God, I would never forgive myself if I did.

"Jake? Are you okay?" I said letting go of his arms and taking his face in my hands. "Talk to me, please."

Suddenly he had me pinned on my back. He manacled my hands above my head and his face was less than an inch away from mine. "That's was the sexiest thing I've ever had done to me."

I giggled when he started sucking on my neck lightly. I heard a car door shutting outside and I felt Jake snap out of it and roll over behind me again. I pressed play on the movie that had ended up being paused and lay back on my side. I felt Jake's hand squeezing my sides lightly and his lips pressing to the back of my neck.

My parents walked into the living room and I could tell that something was bothering them. "What's wrong with you guys?"

"We need to tell you about the promise we made to the Volturi," Dad said, sitting in the floor right in front of my face. "We promised them that they could come in and check in on you anytime they wanted to see if you were following the orders that they set."

"I haven't done anything bad to anyone. I'm a good vampire," I said, sitting up with Jake's arms around my waist comfortingly.

"That's what we told them but they want to come check that we're telling the truth. They'll be here tomorrow so you're going to stay home from school and let them watch you," mom said, taking my hands in hers.

"Jake can stay with me, can't he?" I asked, scooting closer to him. "I don't know if I can handle this without him."

"Yes, I didn't even think about making him leave," dad said. "Even if I'm not a big fan of him; the Volturi could change their minds and attack. Jacob could be one of the only things that could keep you safe."

I heard Jake let out an almost silent growl and tighten his grip on my waist. "I swear to you that I won't let anyone ever hurt her. I don't give a damn if they're vampire royalty or not."

I couldn't help but smile at his naïve attitude. There was no way he would live through a Volturi attack. I didn't want to say anything that would burst his bubble so I just let him go on thinking that he could kick their ass.

"I would greatly appreciate that, Jacob. I'm about to ask you something that I hope I won't regret," my dad said, running a hand through his hair. "Will you stay with Nes in her room and watch over her. If anything goes amuck up there I will be up there and I will cut off anything that I see. I think it would keep her safer if you stayed up there with her."

I felt Jake's hands rubbing circles into my hipbones. "You can trust me; when it comes to Nessie there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect her."

I felt my heart surge at his words; I loved how much he adored me. "I don't know why you have to question Jake's ability to keep me safe. He did a pretty good job during the battle six years ago and I'm sure he'll do an even better job now."

He nodded and mom said, "We need to go tell Carlisle and Esme about this. Jake we really appreciate this."

"It's not a problem, honestly Bella. I love her; there's no way I would leave her here on her own with crazy vampire lords coming after her," Jake said.

They nodded and ran out of the room. I sighed and lay back against Jake's chest, this was a lot to take in. I felt it getting harder to breathe and my heart beat was getting faster. I didn't know what was happening; I just clutched Jake's hand in mine.

"Nessie, what's wrong? Your heart's racing and you're breathing really harsh," Jake said, spinning me around in his lap and locking eyes with me.

I tried to talk to him but my air kept getting harder to breathe. Everything started to get really fuzzy and I felt myself losing consciousness.

"Nessie, I need you to look at me, right at me. I want you to focus on my voice, focus on my eyes," Jake said, taking my cheeks in his hands. "I want you to fight this and stay with me."

I nodded and tried to focus. "Nes, I need you to breathe with me okay?"

I nodded and tried to copy his steady breathing. I sucked in breath and held it for a couple of seconds before breathing it out with him. Soon enough I was calming down and coming back to consciousness.

"T-thank y-you, Jake; I don't know what happened," I said, leaning my head against his chest and trying to get my bearings.

"I think you just had a panic attack. Rebecca used to have them after mom died and Rachel would take her and do what I just did," he said, kissing the top of my head.

I just nodded and stayed where I was. I don't know how I was going to fight when I couldn't even handle the thought of the Volturi coming tomorrow. How was I a Cullen when I had no bravery whatsoever? Wasn't that a birthright?
