Chapter Eleven: Nurse Bella

CPOV:

I lifted my head up, looking at the young men who were now surrounding me, watching their faces burn with emotion. I got up of my knees, brushing down my clothes from the dirt that was underfoot. The air was tense and I was sure Jasper would be suffering if he was here. I let out the breath I was unaware I was holding. "He'll be fine, he just needs to rest for a few days."

Everyone let out a sigh, and the werewolf's all hugged each other, relief washing over them as they realised that Jacob would be safe. I stepped towards Sam. "Would you mind if I helped you take Jake back to his house, I know my smell must be unbearable to you but I would like to help as much as possible."

He nodded and I crouched onto the ground, gathering my strength into my arms so I could carry the humongous werewolf the short distance to his house. I lifted him easily and stepped across the threshold, Jacob starting to wake in my arms and Alice following me, her lithe movements catching the corner of my eye every so often. I could hear Sam in deep conversation with the rest of the pack but I didn't listen in because I didn't want to intrude on private matters, even if they included my family.

Jacob's eyes fluttered open and he took in who was carrying him. His muzzle wrinkled as he smelt the smell of what we were. He wriggled around in my arms, but I kept him under an iron grip so he wouldn't hurt himself. "It's alright, Jacob!" Sam called from behind and Jacob calmed down a bit, keeping a weary eye on my face.

I reached Jacob's house and kicked open the door, trying not to kick it to hard in case I broke it. I stepped in and noticed another werewolf who was stood up and growling at the door. It's brown eyes glazed over and it's breathe caught in it's chest. I recognised the werewolf immediately. She ran towards me, obviously worried about the shape-shifter in my arms.

I placed him down in front of her and she nudged him with her muzzle, licking his fur all over, her eyes sweeping over his body like it was just the two of them. She stopped abruptly, looking up at me. "Bella?" I asked, bending down so I could see her face more clearly. Her eyes closed and she nodded, acknowledging that I should continue. "I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Edward has left."

She didn't seem fazed, she just turned and headed into a different room. After a few minutes she returned in human form. "Carlisle, you weren't the first one to tell me," she said, pointing at Alice. "Alice did, via phone call. And I don't mind any more, Carlisle. I'm not his property and I won't be any more. His leaving hasn't bothered me at all, because I know where my priorities lie. Here, with Jacob." Her gaze rested on the wolf in front of her, her eyes glowing with love and adoration. Jacob returned the look, his brown eyes resting on her face.

"I see," I replied, nodding. "He needs plenty of rest and a lot of fluids. I'm hoping I can trust you to do that for him."
Bella nodded, determination showing on her face. "Of course I can."

"I know, Bella," I said, placing a hand on her hot skin, calming her down a bit. "You're a strong person."

She bit her lip, her brown eyes filling with tears that she rubbed away awkwardly with her right hand. "I'll miss you and the rest of your family, Carlisle."

Alice bounded forward, tears not spilling but you could still tell they were there. She grasped Bella into a hug, holding her close. Hot meeting cold. "You'll always be my sister, Bella."

Bella couldn't contain the tears now and they fell gracefully down her cheeks, which was ironic because Bella isn't a graceful person. She clung onto Alice's small frame, not wanting to let go because she knew she wouldn't be able to come to our house again. Esme would be too distraught if she had to look upon the girl that forced her first 'child' away every day. I placed a hand on Bella's shoulder, gently pushing her away from Alice because we had overstayed our welcome. I smiled and she tried to return it, but failed, her smile becoming more like a sad smirk instead.

Alice and I took a few steps, heading in the general direction of our large house and away from Bella.

"Do you have to go just now?" Bella cried, running in our direction but tripping over a lump of dry mud. I reached out, my hands grasping around her waist so that she didn't fall and spill her precious blood. Alice and I hadn't hunted in a few days and I didn't know if Alice would be able to deal with being so near her mouth-watering blood. I couldn't deny that Bella's blood was some of the best I'd smelt in my years of eternal existence, because it was. I let go of my grip, setting her feet down on the ground so she was stable enough on her own. She smiled her thanks, but the emotion didn't reach her eyes. Her eyes stayed sad, but the tears had rested on her full cheeks and dried slightly.

"I believe we have to leave," I said, reaching out my arm so Alice had some support.

"Please? Stay a while."

I glanced up at her, her teeth were gnawing on her lip, her lips dry and chaffed. Her hair was covering part of her face, falling over her high cheekbones. Her brown eyes looking down at the ground, ashamed that she was so dependant on us, her past.

"That would be a mistake, especially for you, Bella," I said, grabbing onto excuses which seemed like short straws, impossible to hold in my clutches.

Her eyes snapped up, glaring at me. "I can look after myself, I don't need your sympathy."

"I know, Bella. But we should be leaving. Esme..." I trailed off, thinking about my wife and what she would be doing at this precise moment.

"Is she okay?" Bella asking, taking another ferocious bite on her lip like she usually does when she's nervous.

"She'll be fine, she just needs some time, so we'll be going. Look after Jacob, he needs you at the moment." I gave her a small smile, showing that everything would turn out fine and that she had no reason to worry about me or Esme.

"Bye, Alice," she whispered, turning her body around and heading back up the path and into Jacob's house.

"Goodbye, sister," Alice replied, mainly to herself. She clutched onto me, her body shaking with unshod tears. I rubbed her back, calming her down slightly, whispering in her ear the whole time, chasing her insecurities away.

BPOV:

The house seemed empty, heck, my life was empty. My life was full of gaps that would be untouched for the remainder of it. The only person who could remotely fill those gaps was Jacob. Jacob Black, my best friend, the guy who'd had a crush on me since forever. Maybe that crush could develop into love if I put my fair share of work into our relationship. I was hoping we could work it out together, so we both got what we deserved in life. Love, what everybody searches and longs for, but what so little find.

My shoes rubbed against the shabby carpet and I walked into the lounge where I could hear heavy panting. Of wolf or man, I didn't know. I was surprised when something wrapped it's arms around me, but I soon realised what it was when I noticed that the noise had gradually moved closer.

I rested my head against his chest, taking in his natural scent that blew me away every time. He rested his head on mine and kissed it, stopping to take in my reaction to his touch. I melted into him, my hands wandering over his chest, caressing every part of it, taking into it's contours and muscles.

He kissed me again, his nostrils taking in my hair's scent and his lips burning my skin with the passion they created. It was wonderful how much he made my skin tingle and my heart soar. "Jacob," I mumbled, his beautiful face distracting me from what I was about to say. "I think I love you."

His eyes widened and his head bent down, close enough that I could see his lips pout perfectly, ready for my touch. I kissed him on his full lips, my hands dragging themselves through his hair. Damn it, Bella. That's what you used to do with him. My hands de-tangled from his soft hair and were placed on his chest where they moved gently up and down, taking in the whole of him. His lips were soft on mine and his arms wrapped around my waist, his skin no longer hot with his abnormality but with his passion and how his touch was full of love that screamed at me. This guy loved me, he truly loved me for who I was. I kissed him back, my lips hurting from the strength of this kiss, but I didn't care. I was kissing the man I loved, my Jacob Black.

"I love you, too, Bella. I'll take care of you for eternity."

I stroked his arm, my fingers trailing down it. "No, I need to take care of you, you're injured at the moment."

"I'll be fine, just give me a couple of days." He smiled, kissing me lightly on the tip of my nose and stroking it afterwards. "Stop over-reacting," he teased when I made a fuss of the bite mark that was visible on his human form.

"I'm not over-reacting, you need to rest and drink plenty of fluids." My eyes wandered over the scar again and I glanced down at my own mark of a vampire. I shuddered at the thought of that prom. The prom where I had begged Edward to change me, to make me like him so I could live with him forever.

"You sound like Dr. Vamp," he joked.

"I noticed." I laughed and then kissed him some more, making sure I kissed his wound and his gorgeous lips, his eyes watching my movements the whole time. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to his room.

"Where are you taking me?" he teased, wrapping his muscular arms around my tiny waist as he said it.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." I winked at him, teasing him right back. We reached his bedroom and I pushed open the door, pushing him down on the bed. "Now get in and go to sleep. I'll leave a glass of water on the bedside table and if you're thirsty you should drink that."

He groaned before climbing into bed fully clothed. "Be right back," I said, running from his room before he could force me to stay so I could fetch a glass of water. I searched his cupboards, looking for a glass and I used the tap to pour a glass which I took to him. The glass made a noise as I placed it down and the water threatened to overflow. His eyes were closed and he looked so peaceful. I gently pecked him on the forehead, wishing I could do more, but I didn't want to disturb him. He was so beautiful. His eyelids flickered and they opened, showing me the shade of brown that I loved. His brown eyes were a deeper colour than mine and they allowed me to look into his soul, whereas mine were bland and boring, closed off from the world. I only let a select few in, not wanting to get hurt. He leapt forward, his body colliding with mine and holding me close, his lips leaving a trail of kisses all over my face before finally connecting with my pout, our tongues dancing with each other inside my mouth, exploding like fireworks that warmed my entire body. I was at peace with myself now that I had Jacob.

We rolled around on the floor for a while, discussing who loved whom more. Currently Jake was winning because he had just admitted to liking me when we were making mud pies together. I kissed his wound, feeling protected in his strong arms. The one thing on my mind was Victoria. If she could hurt me by using Jake she could always do it again. And this time Carlisle or Alice might not be there to save him. I won't be able to protect him like he could me. I looked up at his angelic face, taking in it's details in case I wouldn't see it again. "Jake?" I asked, my eyes still wandering.

"Yeah, Bells?" His eyebrows scrunched up, confused as to what I was about to ask.

"Promise you'll never leave me."

"I won't, Bella. I promise you that I'll love you forever." He smiled, his dimples becoming more pronounced. "We'll have hundreds of children and we'll name them all Jacob Junior, even if they're girls, because that's how much I love you. We'll grow old together and get married and have children." We continued talking about our plans for the future until I noticed the sky had turned dark and the moon had made an appearance. He let go of me and I immediately felt bare, naked even. Jacob was part of who I am and without him I am nothing. He got up off the ground, offering me his hand. I took it and got to my weary feet and he escorted me to the door.

I touched his face. "You didn't even get any sleep. I bet that was your plan, wasn't it? Distract Bella." I laughed, forgetting about the world because time had stopped. Time was of no importance to me when Jacob was around.

He chuckled, holding my hand to his bare chest. "Yepp. That was definitely my plan. My next plan will be to take over the world. Care to join me?"

"Of course, love."

He kissed my hand and let it go. "See you tomorrow," he said from his doorstep.

"Yeah, any minute I'm not with you is a waste."

He smiled, his eyes filling with tears. "I love you, Bells."

"I love you, too."

A/N: Okay, I'm tired again and the next chapter will probably be more Bella/Jacob fluff so get excited for that.

I finally know where this story is going and I think they're might be a sequel. I'm getting ahead of myself, I haven't even finished this one yet!

They're might be a time jump in this story, but I'm hoping you're all okay with that. If you're not, tell me in a review.

Thanks for reading and all of your reviews, you're the best readers ever! Please review! Thanks!
