Jacob POV

I still couldn't believe it. Bella scared that guy. I couldn't believe it. "I can't believe it." I muttered as I drove.

"It was an accident." Bella defended herself.

"Damn right it was. How can anyone cause accidental pranks two times on the same day?" I asked myself. "I'd kill for such a talent." I mused.

"It's not funny." She said looking down. "Carlisle assigned me to someone else. He said he's a better psychologist. Do I act not normal?"

"No. It's not that. It's just to help you of course. I know you still feel conflicted about your past." I said truthfully. I talked seriously only in her presence alone. She was my everything after all. A bark came at that point. "Please tell me Rufus is not in the jeep and that he didn't run away from the vet."

"He ran away from the vet and he is in the jeep." She said nodding as if stating a fact. I felt something wet being spilt on my head.

"Stop licking my HEAD!" I said loudly annoyed. Who wouldn't be?


Bella POV

I entered the office with a nervous stance. I really didn't know how to talk to someone other than Carlisle.

Maybe you could've. If you'd let him help you. A voice in my head said.

Stop it. I said to myself. I was planning on running away but Rufus nudged me inside. Damn Charlie 2.0. I heard a light chuckle. I looked up to see a man in his twenties with a pleasant smile on his face. He had jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He was a little tanned and had an aura of comfort around him. I slowly approached him at sat at the desk as Rufus took his position on the other chair.

"Is that a German Shepherd?" He asked interested.

"Yes." I answered proudly. What just happened? He seemed to have this power to make people blurt out stuff. No wonder he's a psychologist. Maybe it was a good thing.

"My friend has one although he is not as big as your guy." He said admiring my Ruff. "I am Kevin by the way. Kevin Archer." He introduced. "You must be Isabella."

"I go by Bella." I said with a small smile.

"So Bella." He said absolutely seriously. Here it goes… "Do you have any more German Shepherds?" He blurted out. What?

"Um…no." I answered unsure how to react.

"I'm disappointed. Do you have any friends then?" He asked with a goofy smile. Why was he making weird faces?

"I have my best friend. His name is Jacob." I smiled automatically.

"Yes?" He asked interested. "And what do you guys do when you hang out?" He asked. I thought about my answer. "I honestly am curious to know how to hold the interest of a girl as pretty as you." He said his face suddenly serious. I giggled at that. It seemed easy.

"We repair bikes, cars and all the smoky stuff." I said reliving the fun I have with him. "But it's not that. I know it's hard being him and being…well me. I have this trust in him that I know he would never twist words with me. He would never lie about things or subtly hint at stuff. He'd say it outright." I smiled.

"One hell of a guy. I'd slapped by a woman if I said I don't like to buy jewelry or some stuff like that." He shuddered at a memory. "Bad." He concluded.

"Yeah. I am not into shopping." I said shaking my head.

"You my dear. Are a piece of art." He exclaimed looking at me. I must have looked startled.

"Mr. Archer?" I asked him.

"It's Kevin please." He smiled pleasantly.

"Aren't we supposed to talk about my problems?" I asked.

"I don't think you need to talk about your problems Bella." He said. "I think all you need to do is hold on to the pleasant ones. I don't think is life is just about problems."

I nodded. "You're right." I said agreeing.

"What we talk about here is what you should think about when you feel scared, hurt or anything like that for such matter. And if you ever want to discuss or tell me your problems, I'm here. I am under doctor-patient confidentiality so what we talk about stays here." He said calmly.

"That sounds nice." I agreed.

"Now." He said. "What we do need to move forward is to let go of our past. It's not easy at all. But it will be harder if we hold on to it." He said seriously. "Now. Tell me. What do you feed him?" He asked with his focus on Ruff. I think it might just be fun. I didn't even notice how time passed by.

"So. What do you want to do?" Jacob asked after I came out of Kevin's office.

"Nothing of consequence." I answered.

"Too bad. We need some grease and stuff for the shop." He sighed. "I'll call Sam to bring the stuff. I got some work in the reservation. Who you coming with?" He asked as he dialed the phone.

"Sam. I'll go as Monroe." I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Tampons." I said. Jacob scowled.

"I did not need to hear that." He shuddered.

"Why do you think I said that?" I asked admiring his scowl. "Let me change to Monroe first and then take the jeep. I'll wait for his truck." I said as I pulled out my backpack. It had my disguise and some other necessities.

"What about Rufus?" He asked. Rufus barked when he heard his name.

"Rufus we are going to separate now. You need to go to the vet for checkup." I said. Rufus scowled. "I'll get you chocolate chip cookies and wafers." I offered. He narrowed his eyes at me as if to say, "It's not nice to bribe your father." Jacob chuckled at our exchange.

"Bye Jake." I smiled and went inside a washroom to change clothes. I wore the wig after exiting the place. Jake had gone away with the jeep. I sighed and leaned back on a pole. Waiting. For Sam.
