As Bella sat amongst the tires and grease of her dear friend's shop, she remembered how she had re-united with him. It had been three weeks since Bella and Edward had taken the sad trip back to Forks to bring Bella home. She had spent most of her time moping around and staring out the window, hoping with the tiniest of diminishing hopes that Edward would come to see her, but he never did. She couldn't understand why. Why couldn't he come and visit her? She was out of the house of vampires, and therefore out of danger... But then, she thought, maybe he was becoming a danger to her. This thought made her heart flutter with the unpleasantness of the thought. What if he never came to see her again, after all they had gone through, after all their love shared... Bella forced herself not to think of such depressing thoughts, and decided that she needed to get out of the house to take her mind off of things, at least for a little while.

As she locked her front door, she had a vivid deja vu orf her and a little dark-haired, tan-skinned boy playing with water guns in her yard when she used to live here. She laughed a little, and as she drove into town, wracked her brains for the name of the boy she used to play with. It was something that began with a 'J', but for the life of her could not remember what exactly it was. Noticing her truck was running a bit low on gas, she pulled into a quaint little gas station along the winding road. She got out of her truck and walked around the side, looking around a little uncertainly. It didn't seem like there was anybody there at all, let alone caretakers or owners.

She tentively walked into the station's main building, only to find an older man asleep on a stool. She was torn between waking him or just leaving her money on the counter for her fill up. As she bit her lip in dilemma, he suddenly snorted loudly and stirred awake, noticing her.

"Oh, sorry there love! A fill up? Alright.."

She laughed and paid him, and he took her money, attempting to ring it in to the cash register. The cash till jarred and stopped mid-open, and the old man jiggled it angrily before suddenly calling out "JAAACOB!". At the yell, a young man with long black hair tied in a ponytail and tan skin came into the room through the back door, and Bella's heart nearly skipped a beat in recognition.

"Jacob, you're name's Jacob!" she shrieked at him.

He paused mid-stride and gave her a queer look before saying, "Yeah... That's me..."

Bella jumped up and down at the spot at her discovery. "I'm Bella, Bella Swan!"

His eyes widened and a giant huge grin spread on his face, illuminating it like a ray of sunshine. "Oh my God, Bella! Holy crap, I haven't seen you in forever, how are you?"

The two had embraced, and began to talk. They caught up on the last ten or so years, and began to hang around each other for lack of good company. Bella held out from telling him of her love though. How was she supposed to tell a newly re-found old friend that she was in love with a vampire?

That was nearly three months ago now..., she thought sadly. Maybe her lover was never coming back. She shook her head and raised herself from where she sat sprawled on the bench seating of Jacob's old truck. Beneath it, he worked and toiled and oiled his beloved machine. Every once and a while, a curse or a sound of triumph would issue from beneath her, and she would giggle softly. She carefully opened the driver's door, being cautious not to hit him in the head, and lay down on the concrete floor. She shifted herself underneath the truck with him and poked his cheek. He turned his oil blackened face towards her and beamed.

"Hey, you", he said, grunting the 'you', as he screwed a bolt into place, "Can you pass me that other monkey wrench? The blue one?"

She reached over, grabbing the wrench and handing it to him. He secured it on a bolt and with heruclean effort, pulled it round and tightened it. She watched the sweat bead on his forehead, cutting into the the thick grease caked on his face.

She sighed, and said suddenly, "Jacob, can I tell you something?"

He turned to her and watched her serious face.

"I... I'm pregnant".

His eyes widened and he took in a deep breath and expelled it slowly. "With who?" he asked.

She bit her lip and said "Edward Cullen."

Jacob's eyes darkened, and his entire expression darkened. He looked like a demon, like a creature, like an animal, wolfish and cruel. It scared her, and she couldn't help but shuffle away from her friend. He growled low, deep in his throat. Iron-strong hands gripped her arms painfully and he said wrathfully "I care about you, Bella, I care about you. And what about this cold hearted bastard that never comes to see you? I will never let him have you again, never!"

The world was awash with colours. Tears beaded in her eyes and she couldn't help but be dragged out from under the car. Painfully he held her and made sure she couldn't escape. He pinned her to the concrete floor. Growling animalistically, he ripped apart her shirt.

----

She woke up in her bedroom, hurting, and emotionally scarred. Sobs gathered in her throat and she cried, and cried, and cried. She felt dirty, used and scared above all. Edward said he would protect her, but where had he been?

And the rain began to fall heavily on the town of Forks.
