I was riding with Jacob in his rabbit back to my house. His hair was still wet from his long shower. When I took my eyes off of him for a moment I realized we weren't going in the direction of my house. "Where are we going?"

"I thought we were going to your house? Did you want to stop by somewhere first?" He hit the breaks a bit.

Then I realized he was taking me to Charlie's house. Jacob didn't even know I had my own home now. "Uh, yeah that's fine." I ran my hand through my hair. What was I going to say to him, oh hey I got my own how while you were gone? I had to build up to it at least.

He looked at me, "Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yep, my concentration just got lost while I was gazing at you." I smiled.

He slowed the car down even more and put his hand on my face to bring my mouth to his. He kissed me more passionately than I expected. I pulled my lips away to gasp for air, "Jake you gotta look where you're driving." I wound my fingers around the door handle. Jacob smiled and wrapped his hand around mine.

Charlie gave us the go around when we arrived. The phone chord was swinging back and forth, meaning he just got off the phone with Billy. Jacob apologized and told him a few times that he was with his sister and after a few minutes Charlie let us retreat to my room.

Jacob shut the door all the way and went straight for the bed, but he swooped me up into his arms in the process. I was situated on his lap facing away from him. His chin rested on my shoulder. He sighed.

"It's over." I ran my fingers through his hair and patted his cheek.

"But problem after problem keeps on rising." He sighed again leaning his face into my hand. I hope he was talking about Riley and not Edward and me. My heart started fluttering. I was going to have to tell him what happened between me and Edward. I was going to have to tell him everything and though Edward told me he was ready for it, ready to fight for me, to keep me anyways, I was still unsure. I didn't respond. He pulled is down to the pillows and turned me around.

"I'm sorry I didn't stop Riley. I should have." He shook his head.

"He didn't hurt me, he won't hurt me, it will be okay. I wouldn't worry about him. It seems like he is too interested in robbing banks and causing havoc on corporate businesses to bother with us. I'm afraid he will just get himself destroyed in the process." I was hoping he wouldn't get himself into trouble and I was secretly hoping he would come back so I could talk to him.

"I hope your right Bella. But if he does come back I'll take care of him. Do you remember what you were saying to him? It seemed like he had you hypnotized." Jacob's face went grim.

I looked to the left trying to recall what had happened. "Well, kind of. I think he did have some sort of force over me. It was weird. I felt fine but the words that were coming out…they just didn't make sense."

Jacob shivered, "I hate that he can do that." He said quietly.

I pondered Riley's ability. "Yeah, I wonder what I could do if he can do that." My eyes grew wide with the slightest thought of it.

Jacob stopped breathing and his eyes filled with anger…or fear…Maybe both, I couldn't tell. "If he ever tries to turn you…" He started vibrating.

"Hey, hey, no, don't get upset. It won't happen, baby, you won't let that happen to me." I embraced him, his head more near my chest than face. His arms slowly wrapped around caressing me, his breathing picked up a different pace and he stopped shaking. I kissed the top of his wet head and pressed myself a little more into his face. He inhaled deeply and pulled me tighter. His face was directly in my cleavage. He moaned as his fingers ran wild up and down my backside.

I pulled away and he lifted himself up so his lips could meet mine. These were hungry kisses, ones I had missed the most. In between kisses he whispered, "I won't ever let him hurt you." After a few more sweet kisses he sighed and rested his head on the pillow next to mine. He was solemn and looking away from me. I kept my arm around him and lay next to him.

"Tell me what happened." I whispered.

It took a minute for him to say anything. He didn't meet my eyes, "I don't want to right now. I don't think I can talk about it. You know, hearing my thoughts is one thing, with the pack but actually talking about it is harder."

I understood even though I wanted to know so I could understand it all.

"Okay." I said rubbing his shoulder. He smiled slightly but still didn't look at me. It was making me worried because I couldn't understand. I heard Charlie trudge up the stairs.

"Bella, you need to get a hold of your mom she called here yesterday trying to get a hold of you."

"Okay dad." I huffed and got out of bed to turn on the computer. I sat at the desk drumming my fingers along the keyboard waiting for it to function. Jacob didn't say anything. Five minutes went by as I wrote Renee an email. I thought Jacob was asleep since he wasn't talking. After I exited out of the internet I heard Jake situate himself on the bed.

"So, how bad is it?" He asked. I turned around to ask what he was talking about but I could see it in his eyes what he was implying.

I still had to ask. "How bad is what?"

Jacob eyes narrowed, "I mean…do I still have a girlfriend?" He asked grimly.

I swallowed hard, here it goes. I had to tell him everything, I wasn't going to lie to him like I did when I went away with Alice or those many other times when I was upset over Edward and blamed it on something else.

"Well, I'm not sure after this." I got up and sat on the bed across from him.

He swallowed hard too as he tried to fight back the emotion rising in his throat.
