R&R Please. I pretty much have the rest of the sotry done…but I need you to let me know if you like the way things are going so far.

Chapter 11

Any anger I had melted away the moment I saw him. All I wanted to do was hold Jacob in my arms. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to be with him forever.

"Hey, you." He smiled. It was the most perfect smile I had ever seen. He placed me back on my feet. I wrapped my arms around his waist, afraid that if I let him go, he would be gone. His hot skin against my cheek felt good.

"Don't ever leave again."

"I'm not going anywhere." He said, holding me closer to him.

We stood there for a long time. Nothing else in the world existed.

When we finally did look around, I noticed that Edward, Bella, and Emmett were nowhere to be found. I started to walk towards the Hummer, Jacob's hand in mine. I found a note on the dashboard.

We're just going to run back to the hotel. You guys take the Hummer. Just don't let Makiya drive.

Edward

Jake chuckled when he read the note. We hopped in the car. I still couldn't take my eyes off of him. When we got back to the hotel room, we stopped by Edward, Emmett, and Bella's room to let them know we were back. Then we went into my room.

"Your own room?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, a little present from Edward Cullen." He smiled mischievously, "Don't get any ideas, mister." I turned and walked into the bathroom. He followed me. "I mean it, Jacob." He got closer. I could feel his hot breath on my lips, which were aching to find his.

"You should probably take a shower," I said, in a shaky whisper.

"I'm good," He breathed into my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I couldn't hold off any longer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He lifted me up, his lips never leaving mine, and placed me on the bathroom counter. My legs wrapped around his waist.

"Stop," I said out of breath.

"Why" he asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Jake, don't you think for one second I forgot why I'm here. Why I had to ride a vampire to come find you. Before we continue whatever this is, we need to talk."

"Ki," he pleaded, "You started it." My mind flashed back to the last day I had seen him. I had said those exact same words to him. The anger, which had disappeared, came back with a vengeance.

"Jake, I was miserable without you, but don't for one second think that all is forgiven. Because it's not. You really hurt me. Like can't eat, can't sleep, being dragged out of my bed by Q every morning because I couldn't face the day kind of hurt." He backed away.

"I didn't know," was all he managed to get out. He was clearly shocked by my sudden anger.

"How could you not? I talked to everyone. I talked to Leah, Emily, Bella, Edward, Q – everyone."

"I mean, I knew that you were angry, but I guess I never really thought about how bad you were hurting."

"You know, to be honest, I don't think you thought about me the entire time you were gone."

Jake looked towards the floor. It took him awhile before he spoke again, "How could you say that," he said so low I could barely hear him, "You're all I think about. You have been since the first day I met you. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I left."

"Yeah. You did." He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I hadn't meant to sound so harsh. It just came out like that, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I'm just so angry, so hurt. You left me, Jacob. You decided that whatever it was you were going through, you didn't need me." Tears were falling down my cheeks. "I just don't understand."

"I didn't want to hurt you or anybody else. I scared myself at the graduation party. I had so much rage building up, it would have taken seconds for me to kill that guy. I started to question my ability to keep myself together. I mean, if someone else were to hurt you, I don't know if I could stop like I did with him."

"Yeah, but you have me. You have Q and your brothers. We all believe in you." I grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes, trying to see what he was feeling. It was a mixture of sadness and comfort.

"I know, but when I left, I wasn't sure that was enough. Ki, you can't understand how I felt that night. I felt more hate than I ever had before. Even more than the night Victoria attacked you." I understood what he was saying. It was the same thing we had talked about before he left. It was the same thing I had talked about with Bella.

"Jake, you have to let those things go. You have to understand that people will probably hurt me. Maybe not physically, but they will hurt me. You don't have to punish them. If we are ever in a situation like that again, you have to focus more on me, not them. They don't matter."

"I know. That's exactly what I've been thinking about while I've been up here. I guess I stayed gone for so long because I was ashamed. I thought that people would see me as weak. I thought that you wouldn't want me back."

"Why would you think something like that?"

"You told me that if I left not to expect you to wait around. I didn't."

"Jacob, for a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes." I said smiling, "Don't you know that I'd wait for you forever? It was a stupid thing to say, but I just wanted you to stay."

"The thing is, you don't have to ever wait again. I'm going to be with you as long as you let me." When he said that, I knew that the fight was over. I could hear the honesty in his words.

"You better." I said, grabbing his shorts, pulling him close to me. He leaned down placed his lips hard on mine. He kissed me hungrily, my head in between his large hands. His hands slowly moved down my back. I wrapped my legs around his waist again, and he started walking towards the bed. He kissed down my neck. When he sat me down, I climbed on top of him, and removed my shirt. He smiled. I leaned down, kissing his warm, bare chest, moving my way down. I was starting to unbutton his shorts when I heard somebody clear their throat.

This better be an emergency, I thought.

"Umm…sorry to interrupt," Bella said. She was blushing. "But Alice has had a vision."

I rolled over trying to cover myself, "What do you mean?"

"Alice has seen that Victoria is bringing twenty newborn vampires to Forks. They should arrive around midnight on Monday."

"What can she like see the future or something?" I asked.

Jake answered, "Yeah, but her visions are subjective. If the person in the vision changes their mind, then the vision changes."

"Ok," Nothing really surprised me anymore. "But the vampires, why are they coming to Forks?"

Bella looked solemn, "For us."

"You mean you, right?"

"Unfortunately, she means both of you." Edward said, walking towards us.

"Dude, seriously," Jacob said, "I mean, your timing couldn't be worse."

Edward laughed and backed away, "Sorry, but we have to get back."

I couldn't speak.

Why would Victoria be after me? I thought.

"She's crazy." Edward explained. "She's pissed off at the wolves for killing her friend Laurent. She wants revenge. She knows you're a friend of them, so you're on her list. She's also a little upset that both you and Angela got away that night. Victoria is a vengeful woman. She's going to do whatever it takes to get to you and Bella, then, she's probably going to go after the rest of Forks and La Push with her newborn army."

"Great," was all I could say. I couldn't believe that Bella and I had yet another thing in common, a vampire bitch that was trying to kill us.

Jacob wrapped his arms around me. "Babe, don't worry. We're going to get this bitch, and when we do, she's going to pay for what she did to you. I guarantee she won't get within a mile of you."

I didn't feel reassured. I felt sick. Even if Victoria didn't get close to me, her and her army would be battling my friends and family. If one of them was hurt, I couldn't deal with it. Today was Saturday. They would only have a day to prepare.

Edward and Bella left the room. I put my shirt back on, and gathered my things, not saying a word. We all met downstairs. We climbed in the Hummer. Edward had said he would return it after the whole Victoria thing was taking care of.

The trip home didn't take as long as I thought it would. Edward drove very fast. They dropped Jake and I off to pick up my jeep.

"You probably shouldn't be driving. You look like you could fall asleep at any moment."

"Jake, I'll be fine." I said, but I knew he was right. He gave me that raised eyebrow look he got and grabbed the keys out of my hand. I didn't even bother to argue. We drove back to the res. When we got back to Uncle Quil and Aunt Michelle's house, Q met us outside.

"I already know, dude," he said, looking at Jake. "We're meeting the Cullens' at 11:00 in the baseball field. Jasper has fought newborns before. He's going to teach us techniques to fight them off."

"You have to leave," I whined. I had just gotten Jacob back. I didn't want him to have to leave again.

"Babe, I have to. I have to know how to protect you. Go inside, take a hot bath, and go to bed. I'll see you first thing in the morning."

"Can I come with you?"

Q answered, "I don't think that's a good idea. With the vampires and everything. Just stay here."

"It's just the Cullens'. They're good vampires."

Q's face got very serious, "There's no such thing."

"Lighten up, Q. She'll be fine. If she wants to come with us, I don't see a problem." Jake smiled.

Q growled under his breath. "If anything happens to her…"
