I smile looking at Jacob. He was laughing at something Quil said and I knew he was happy that both of his childhood friends are part of the pack now. Quil and Seth are the only two I know that are happy to be wolves. I guess you could argue that I was happy to be a wolf, but the truth was I'm just happy to be where Jacob is.
Bella sits next to me on the porch and hands me a giant muffin. "It's different hanging out with the pack." She says and I laugh.
"We're probably a lot more fun. You know since we're full of life." I say and she nudges me with her elbow.
"I find it funny that we would pick mortal enemies to be with. I mean leave it to us to pick polar opposites." She says and I smile taking a bite into my muffin.
"It's really not that surprising. We've been opposites our whole life, but I get what you mean." I say looking back towards the boys again.
They were all wrestling and laughing. "I don't think I would ever trade this." I say and she nods her head.
"That's how I feel about Edward and his family Mar." Bella says and I bite my lip, "I know you don't understand what I could see in Edward but I love him as much as you love Jacob."
"That's a lot." I say and she nods her head. I also want to tell her that its impossible but I knew it wasn't. I saw the way Bella and Edward looked at each other.
We grow silent and I feel myself suddenly missing my sister. Since everything that's happened we haven't had time to talk like this. She nudges me with her elbow again and I look up to Leah walking over to us. Seth is on her heels and she looks angry, he looks scared and apologetic.
"What is she doing here?" Leah growls and I stand up, I was a few inches taller than Leah now.
"She has every right to be here." I say and Leah snorts.
"Am I the only person that remembers this girl hangs out with vampires? She could be helping that redhead." Leah snaps and I let out a chuckle.
"Right Leah, I'm sure Bella is in a secret alliance with the bloodsucker that wants to kill her." I say before stepping off the porch so that we're toe to toe.
"Come on you two, lets just relax." Seth says and Leah glares at him. He steps back and looks at Jacob who steps forward.
"Leah why don't you just back off?" Jacob says in a low voice, "You're the only one that has a problem with Bella being here."
"Shut up Jacob." Leah says with hostility and I growl.
"Don't talk to him like that." I snap and Leah turns her attention back to me.
"Or what?" She growls before quivering violently. I shake my head and take a step back.
"I'm not going to fight you Leah." I say and she shakes even more. I really want to fight with her, knock her ego down a peg but I won't because Bella's here and having two giant wolves around her won't be the safest thing.
I turn my back on her, which is probably the worst thing I could have done. It happens quickly that I don't have enough time to react but Bella and Jacob do.
Leah phases and my sister pulls me towards her, so that I'm not hit by Leah's monster paw. Bella pulls me so that she stands in front of me and I look at her in awe. I don't think I'd be able to stand in front of a angry giant wolf as a fragile human like that.
Leah lunges and her teeth come into close contact with my sister but Jacob's there quickly. He slams his whole body into Leah. Bella and I are knocked down and Leah is able to muster up enough strength to push Jacob back into us. Jacob steps on Bella's wrist and it pops.
I stand up quickly and pull my sister away from the danger. Embry rushes over to us and picks Bella up to carry her up and onto the porch. I look back to see Quil and Seth pushing Leah and Jacob apart from each other.
I stand next to my sister on the porch and brush back her hair from her face. "I'm sorry Bella."
"It's not your fault." Bella says before wincing at the pain in her wrist.
The growling ad snapping stop and I look up to see Seth walking up to the porch. Quil and him must have been able to push Leah and Jacob back into the woods.
"Everything ok?" I ask and Seth nods his head.
"Just getting Jake a pair of pants and a shirt. Leah got a pretty good bite into his side but Jacob was just trying to keep her away from you guys so my sisters still in one piece." Seth says before running into the house.
"Yay, Leah's still in one piece and is probably even more cockier than before since she got a good bite out of Jacob." Embry says and I let out a small laugh.
"I wouldn't say that too loud." Bella says and Embry and I look at at her, "I mean we don't want another fight on our hands."
I smile and sit next to Bella, leaning my head on her shoulder. I felt terrible that his happened. Edward was right, Bella wasn't safe hanging out around the pack.
Seth runs back out of the house with the clothes in his hand. Emily is following him but she stops in front of us.
"Trouble just follows the Swan girls doesn't it?" Emily asks before wrapping Bella's wrist in an ace bandage. "You should still get it looked at by Dr. Cullen though."
Bella nods and I can tell she's trying not to flinch at the pain in her hand. I turn my head to see Jacob stomping up the road, Leah a little ways behind him. I notice that Jacob is holding his side and I flare with anger.
I get up and storm my way off the porch. "Leah!" I growl and Embry hurries off the porch to grab me.
I shove him off and continue to make my way towards Leah. I was ready to fight her now. She straightens out and smirks at me. I go to pass Jacob but his arm shoots out and he stops me.
"'Marlie." He says but I ignore him. My eyes focused on Leah, she not only managed to hurt my sister but Jacob as well and I was pissed.
"I'm going to kill her." I say and Jacob chuckles his arm sloop ing around my waist so that he can pick me up. Jacob tosses me over his shoulder and I squirm in his arm trying to get loose but his grip on me is too tight.
"Embry get Bella to the car." Jacob says as he walks past every one to put me in the car.
He places me in the passenger seat gently and I cross my arms over my chest. Jacob walks around to the drivers side.
"Awe, don't look so mad Mar." Jacob says as he leans over to me and I fight off the smile that threatens to appear on my face.
"She didn't hurt you too bad did she?" I ask and Jacob shakes his head before lifting up his shirt. His side is perfect, no sign of bite marks anywhere.
"I'm fine Marlie." Jacob says before holding my chin with his thumb and finger, "No hard feelings right?"
"Yes." I say and Jacob chuckles before leaning into me and kissing me gently.
"Really?" He asks between the kisses and I smile, "Are you sure?" The kissing does help me forget some of my anger but not all of it.
"No," I say before trying to pull him closer to me, "I'm still pissed."
Bella gets into the car and Embry nods bye to us before Jacob pulls the car onto the road. We drive in silence until I sigh and say what's on the three of our minds.
"Edward's going to be pissed." I say as we get closer to home.
"Let me worry about Cullen." Jacob growls and I slip my hand into his.
"I think you've done enough fighting for one day." I say and Bella makes a noise in agreement from the back.
"Beside we have neighbors." Bella says, "How do you think it would look to them when they look out their window to see a werewolf and a vampire fighting."
I snicker at the thought and Jacob squeezes my hand. Edward is waiting outside for us and even though we told Jacob not to think about everything that happened at Sam's as a way to keep Cullen in the dark Jacob thinks about it anyways and Edward looks pissed.
We get out of the car slowly and before I know it Jacob and Edward are already toe to toe with each other.
"If you ever hurt her again-" Edward spats and my sister and I are already between them.
"It wasn't Jacob's fault." Bell says but Cullen still looks at us like we're wild animals.
"See this is why I didn't want the you down there. This is what I knew what going to happen. You cant trust a wolf." Edward says and Jacob and him press closer to each other.
"Stop it!" I say trying to push the two of them apart.
My dad walks out of the house and separates Jacob and Edward. "What is going on here?" Dad asks and I pull Jacob closer to me and farther from Cullen.
"They had a little disagreement." Bella says and Jacob snorts.
"What happened to your wrist Bella?" Dad asks and Edward glares at Jacob again.
"I tripped over a tree root and fell, no big deal." Bella says and my dad nods before looking at Jacob and I.
"I'm going to take Bella to get her wrist looked at." Edward says and my dad nods, he's glaring at Cullen just a bit.
"Be home by curfew Bella." My dad says and I suddenly realize that he's dressed pretty nicely.
"You got a date tonight Chief?" I ask my dad and he blushes just a bit.
"Sue set me up with a blind date in Port Angeles." My dad says and I laugh.
"We'll be back by curfew." I say and my dad laughs.
"You two," my dad says as he points to Jacob and me, "play nice."
I smile and Jacob follows me inside. Jacob and I have been home alone on multiple occasions but this time I was nervous to be left alone with him.
Jacob shuts the door and I watch my dads police cruiser disappear down the street.
"So." I say awkwardly and Jacob licks his lips his brown eyes on me, studying my face.
He walks over to me slowly and I bite my lip feeling the nerves in my stomach explode. His arm reaches out for me and I allow him to pull me closer.
Jacob kisses me gently and then picks me up as our kisses become more heated. He carries me into my room, kicking the door open with his foot and then placing my gently on my back on my bed.
I toy with the end of his shirt and am finally able to pull it up and over his head. My fingers lightly glide over the muscles on his chest and stomach, he groans and his hands hover over the buttons on my shirt.
"Are you sure?" Jacob asks and I lick my lips thinking about it.
Jacob was my first friend, my first kiss, my first heartbreak, my first real boyfriend, and my first love. I want him to be my first everything. So I nod my head.
"Yeah, I'm sure." I whisper before pulling his face back towards mine to kiss gently.
