Bella POV-

I was on the beach in La Push, where Jacob and I first talked when moved back to Forks. Where he told me about the Quileutes and the spirit warriors that lurked inside them. I didn't see Jacob at first, until he emerged from the woods and neared the water. He slowly started to walk into the tide. Stopping when the water reached his knees. "Jacob!" I called out to him as I ran towards him. But then I realized, I wasn't moving. I was running in place, and Jacob couldn't hear me. "Jacob!" I cried again, but he didn't moved. I suddenly saw something emerge from the water. Locks of bright red hair rose from the ocean and neared Jacob. "Run Jacob, please!" I screamed. But he couldn't hear me. I watched as Victoria sunk her teeth into his neck, and ripping head from his body, decapitating him. I cried and screamed.

"Bella..." I heard someone say. I thought it was Jacob at first, but it didn't sound like him. "Bella, love, wake up..." It said again. "Bella please wake up!" it said urgently. Then I woke up with a jolt. I sat there for a second, crying. I threw myself into Edward's arms and broke into tears. "Bella, baby, what's wrong? Your worrying me."

I looked up into his golden eyes and said all I could think of... "Jacob..." then I started crying again.

"Bella, I tried really hard to get him to leave, but he refused. I did everything I could. But he turned and ran into the woods before I could say anything else. I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I should have tried harder." Edward said.

"It's not your fault. He is just so stubborn. But I am really worried about him Edward. There was Victoria and she came out of the water and there was nothing I could do. I tried to run but never moved. And Jacob could hear when I screamed for him to run" I wiped away my tears and got back into his arms. I felt safe there, I knew as long as Edward was around, no one could hurt me.

"Do you want to call him?" Edward asked me. I nodded my head and he grabbed my phone from the nightstand and handed it to me. I quickly dialed Jacobs number and prayed that he would pick up. The dial tone rang four times, and I was sure he wasn't going to answer, until I heard him.

"Hello?" He said. He sounded like everything was normal. Like there wasn't a newborn army heading straight for Forks.

"Jacob?" I said through my sniffles.

"Bella? What's wrong?"

"Jacob please leave Forks. Please, I can't stand the thought of your being in the cross fire of Victoria's rage when she figures out that I'm not in Forks."

"Bella, you know I can't do that. I have to stay here and protect the people of Forks. It's my duty as a Quileute." He has never held any concern for the people in Forks until now. Why? There had to be another reason.

"You're lying." I retorted.

"What?" He was confused, or he knew I was right.

"I know you don't give a shit about the people in Forks. You never have, so why all of a sudden do you now?" I tired to keep my voice down in case there were other people sleeping in the Pembrooke.

"Bella, the truth is, I'm tired of those stupid bloodsuckers taking over my town. My home."

"They aren't all Jacob. But Victoria is dangerous. Please, leave." I begged. I made my voice break to make it more convincing.

"I don't believe they are all good, Bella. Hell, that leech of yours is already planning to change you into a monster." I heard a growl erupt from Edward's chest. I grabbed his hand and entangled it in mine. He calmed down in an instant, but I was still upset.

"He didn't decide this, I did. He doesn't want to change me at all. He want me to be human, you should give him credit for that. If you wanna hate someone for that decision, then hate me. But don't blame them for stuff that they didn't do." I yelled. I was surprised when no one came in knocking to see what the commotion was about.

"Then why doesn't he refuse to change you?" He asked, rage and hurt in his voice.

"Because that was my condition. I said I would marry him if he changed me." Then I regretted saying that. We hadn't told Jacob about the marriage. I was planning to, but I never got the chance because I hadn't seen him in weeks, ever since the kiss.

"YOU'RE MARRYING HIM" He screamed. It startled me. I was honestly scared. I knew he couldn't hurt me through the phone, but his booming voice and angry tone was enough to scare a pro wrestler. "BELLA THEY AREN'T EVEN ALIVE!"

I didn't know what to say, so I handed the phone to Edward and let him deal with it because I couldn't bring myself to speak to him. I continued to cry as Edward tried to calm Jacob down, with no success. Edward was becoming frustrated, and out of anger, said, "Do you not realize what you are doing to her? She is crying her eyes out because she is worried and scared for you, Jacob Black. She cares about you, and if you cared about her, you would leave Forks right now and get as far away from there as possible. And you yelling at her for wanting to marry me isn't making it any better. It just upsets her even more. So stop putting your ego in front of your self-preservation and leave Forks right now."

I just stared at him wide eyed. I have never heard Edward talk to anyone like that, not even Jasper or Emmett when they fought. The way he spoke to Jacob was stern, and I guess he did it for me, but I was still a little shocked.

I listened carefully to what Jacob was saying over the line. Edward's rage was starting to fade, but Jacobs was not. Because when Edward refused to give Jacob my location, he freaked out. I snatched the phone from him and said in the sternest voice possible, "Jacob Ephraim Black, you better leave Forks, Washington right now or so help me god I will force Edward to take me back there and I will take you out myself. I don't care if you like it or not I am telling you that if you do not leave, I will put myself in danger to make you leave. And if you cared, or loved, me at all, you would leave right now."

The phone went silent, and Edward stared at me like he had just seen a ghost. "Okay, Bella, I'm leaving now. I promise." and he hung up. I slammed the phone on the bed and stood up. I began to pace the room in a panic. I would never know if Jacob was actually leaving or not. He has never kept any of his promises that he has made to me. I put my fingers in my hair and dug my nail into my scalp. I started hyperventilating.

"Bella, love, stop." Edward told me. But I didn't listen. I kept pacing. Speeding up and digging my nails deeper. My lungs started to burn for air, but I didn't care. "Bella, please..." He tried again. I continued to dig my nails deeper, until I broke the flesh and started to bleed. Edward was then in front of me, restraining my hands in his. I struggled to escape his hold, but it was no use. "Isabella Marie Swan, stop. Please. You are hurting yourself and doing so is not going to do anything." I stared at him. He has never used my full name before besides when he proposed to me. He was dead serious. And I obeyed. "Now, go shower and get dressed because we are going with the others to town."

He must have read Veronica's mind, because she burst in and proposed the same idea. We agreed and I did what Edward told me because I knew he was right. I wasn't helping anyone by hurting myself. I was only making it worse for me.

I went into my suitcase to see what Alice packed me. I was really surprised when she packed my clothes and not her's. They were all things that I would wear on a normal day. "Wow..." I whispered.

"What?" Edward responded. I forgot that he could hear me.

"Alice actually packed things that are mine and that I would actually wear."

"It wasn't Alice." He retorted. "It was me. I knew Alice would pack it full of dresses and skirts and I know you would buy new clothes before you wore those, so I packed for you."

I was surprised and happy at the same time. Edward knew me better than anyone else. I loved him so much. I ran across the room to him and jumped into his arms, kissing his on impact. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my hands entangled in his hairs. He held me up but putting his hands on my waist. I wished we would stay like this forever.

I moaned in protest as he set me down. "I love you so much Edward Culled I said. My hand crept down from his neck to his chest, and he kept his hand on my waist, refusing to let me walk away from him.

"I love you too, Isabella." He responded when he finally let me go. I slowly walked away, grabbing my clothes and taking a quick shower. I would not worry about anything today. I would focus my everything on my personal angel, Edward Cullen.
