Hi everyone! Samantha here! Thank you to my fellow readers for being ever so patient. This semester has been hectic. I started a new job and the amount of home work and reading has been a ton. So, during the school semesters I will be insanely slow in updating. But since I have about two months off before the summer session begins I will be able to do some more updates. Once again thank you to all my faithful readers. Please review. No flames because as our mothers always said if you don't have anything nice to say do not say it at all. HOWEVER. If you are giving me constructive criticism. I welcome that because I know that grammar isn't my forte and I do often miss a word or dot he wrong spelling because I tend to type very fast. So forgive that please.

thank you and here is chapter four!

Everyone finished breakfast and began to get ready. Jacob had even went to Anna's room to fetch her bag and Jacket. "Where are my crutches?" She asked curiously when he returned.

"You won't be needing them." He gave her a smile before he picked her up and took her out to his truck. Some of the boys had already piled up in the bed of it cheering.

"Lets go Jake, get this bucket of bolts going!"

"Hey be nice to my truck."

Anna let out a small giggle which only made Jacob smile again. 'Looks like someone is already hooked line and sinker.'

'Shut up Paul!' he hissed back through their link as he helped Anna into the cab of the truck. "Are you comfortable?" She gave a nod "If you want to stretch out your leg you can lean against me once I get in. You can...lay your leg across the seat." Jacob blushed before clearing his throat.

"Thank you Jacob." Anna smiled as he gave a nod before closing the door. Once Jacob had climbed into the driver's seat he blushed harder feeling Anna press her back against him. He slowly wrapped an arm around her to keep her steady and secure. It felt so nice to have her against him. Her hair tickling his face as her scent filled his nose. He leaned his face into her hair and took a deep breath.

"Hey Jake!" Quil banged on the back window "Are we going or what?" They laughed as they sensed their pack mates bashfulness as he straightened up and started the truck. Anna tilted her head to the side and saw Jacob's cheeks tinted red.

"Are you alright?"

"Hm? Yeah I'm fine why?"

"Well you look flushed and you are incredibly warm."

"Oh that," he smiled and brushed it off as though it were nothing. "Some of us just have higher internal body temperatures than most."

"That would explain a lot." Anna smiled and leaned against him to get comfortable. She couldn't deny the fact that he made a good pillow.

The ride to the beach was rather brief. Anna sat comfortably against Jacob as they listened to the boys in the back. Once they arrived at the beach the boys immediately hopped out of the bed of the truck. Whooping and hollering as they ran down the sand. Jacob jumped out of the cab and then went around to the passenger's side. "Okay, easy does it." He smiled to her as she made her way out of the cab.

"Thank you." She smiled as their hands joined together once more. His skin was so warm against hers. How was this possible? The thought entered her mind once more as he helped her from the cab and down onto the sand.

"Allow me to carry you?" He asked her nervously despite the fact that Anna was smiling. He couldn't help but feel all warm inside when she smiled. God was he really this much of a sap? Yet it just came. The feeling overwhelmed him making him feel light and happy. Was this the imprint? Or was it his actual feelings?

"Sure Jacob." She said as her smile stayed there. It was soft but happy at the same time. Gently Jacob knelt and looped his arms under her knees and behind her back. Her arms went around his neck as he carried her out onto the sand. By that time the guys had already built a bonfire and were roasting hotdogs. He made sure to place her down on the blankets very carefully. He didn't want to accidentally hit her knee. Once she was on the ground he sat beside her so she had something to lean on.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw his sister Rachel and Emily smiling at him. He quickly looked into the fire and tried to ignore them. His cheeks flushed slightly when he felt Anna nuzzling her head against his shoulder. The sensation felt so good he almost wanted to nuzzle her back. He could feel the wolf inside of him screaming for her. He tried to push the feeling away but found no such success in his attempts.

'You can't fight it...' He remembered Sam's words as they echoed in his ears. Could he fight it even if he tried? At this point, however; Jacob didn't seem to want too. The only thing that mattered to him was now Anna. Nothing could sway him from her. Not the vampires, not the Cullens...not even Bella. Jacob had lost all care in that he wasn't talking to her. He didn't feel the need to. He didn't care about her anymore. Let the leach have her for all he needed was right here.

A smile crept upon Jacob's face as he wrapped an arm around her so he could bring her closer. "Hey Anna..." he asked softly as he craned his neck to look at her face. Those eyes stared back up at him and he melted all over again.

"Yes Jacob?"

"I was wondering if I could possibly take you out sometime. Maybe to Port Angeles? They have a nice movie theatre there and some good places to eat. I mean if you want to that is. It's not good to stay cooped up all the time." He smiled nervously at her praying she said yes. Oh please say yes!

Anna seemed to return his smile and a small twinkle appeared in her eyes. "I'd like that. You'd just have to deal with the fact that I am a slowpoke right now." She giggled gently but Jacob heard it. It sounded like a sweet melody to him.

"I don't mind." He smiled brighter as he felt the others smiling too. He felt as if he was walking on air. Was this because of the connection? If so, did she feel it too?

"Alright, foods ready" Sam called out as the hotdogs had finished roasting. Emily had a basket full of food and chips along with drinks. They ate, they laughed and had a great time. Jacob held Anna close as they watch the sunset and the stars appeared. Eventually Anna had fallen asleep against him. She was so cute when she was sleeping.

"Hey Jake," He quickly looked up at the sound of Sam's voice. "Go ahead and take her home. We will take care of everything here."

"Are you sure Sam?"

"Yeah, go ahead. She needs to get to bed and take her meds." With the okay from his Alpha he gently picked her up and carried her over to the truck. He put her inside and then ran to get in as well.

"Jake?" He heard her moan in her sleep. He could hear a slight pain in her voice which caused a tightness in his chest to appear.

"Yeah Im here. Im taking you home." He felt her settle back against him as the car started. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah my leg is very stiff. It hurts slightly. " She flinched softly but he felt it. The tightening in his chest felt worse and worse. He reached around her shoulder and held her hand. Anna gripped his hand tight as her knee began to throb in pain.

"I've got you. It's okay." He gave her hand a squeeze back as they drove off to Sam's house. He let his thumb caress the back of her hand as he tried to help soothe her. It was a very long drive for Anna but soon the car stopped and she let out a huge breath. "Okay I have to let go of you but I will but I promise you will be out of this car soon." He squeezed her hand once more before he got out of the car. And true to his word the passenger's door was open in the blink of an eye. "Alright wrap your arms around my neck. "Alright that's it easy does it." His arm went around her back and beneath her knees as he lifted her from the car.

Quickly and as carefully as possible he walked inside and to her room. He laid her on the bed before he got her medicine. "You okay?" He asked as she gulped down the water.

"I'm fine. WOuld you um...mind helping me get my brace and shoes off?" She blushed "ANd possibly my jeans..."

Now jake blushed "Yeah...i'll make sure a blanket is covering you as I do." He smiled as he started to work on her shoe laces. Next came her sock and once her brace was off she sighed heavily. Jacob gently rubbed her leg and knee. "Hows that?" He asked softly wanting to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"It's okay." SHe said as she started to unbutton her pants before she put the blanket over her. She pulled down her pants to her knees and hissed in pain. Jacob grabbed her jeans and pulled them off. "Thank you. My pajamas are over there. I can do the rest."

"Are you sure?" He asked as he grabbed the pajamas she had pointed out. If she needed help he didn't want to leave her alone.

She looked up at him and smiled "I am sure. This part is the easiest because the clothes are looser. You've already helped me through the hard part. Thank you."

"Anytime. I mean it." He slowly leaned in and kissed her cheek. "I um. I will see you tomorrow." He blushed slightly as he slowly walked out of the room. "Night..."

"SHe smiled brighter "Goodnight." Once Jacob had left she dressed in her pajamas and curled up into her bed. She couldn't stop smiling as she thought of Jacob. He was so cute and nice, and she hope he liked her too. Sighing softly she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
