A/N I'm sorry more Jacob Blackyness. I guess for those of you who like him, its okay. I like him, I just want to start writing the good stuff already. sigh. Anyways, this is a really short chapter, I just had to get a few things out of the way before I could progress any further. I actually did this in class. Well, have fun.
P.S It's so much fun looking at my stats page. Lol, i may have only 8 reviews, but It's weird seeing the hits and alerts. People are actually reading and that makes me happy.

Jacob POV

I couldn't sleep at all last night. She was going to see me again. She promised she was going to see me again. Dad noticed I had a big grin on my face when I got home and I could see that he looked so proud of me. I still had a smile on my face. I couldn't help it, my cheeks should be so sore by now, but they weren't.

'Today is going to be a good day,' I thought.

I hopped out of bed and ran to to kitchen for breakfast. I was starving.

"Jacob, Bella called." I checked the clock, it was already 11:30. "I told her you were still asleep." My dad was looking at me with slight amusement in his eyes.

I dropped my spoon and it fell into my bowl of cheerios with a splash.

"What? When? Why didn't you wake me?!" I rushed this to him while I ran to the phone.

"Relax son, I could tell you needed rest. You could always call her back." I was doing so as he spoke. It took three failed attempts before my large fingers were steady enough to hit each button right.

"Hello?" she answered. Her voice sounded almost as alluring on the phone than it did in person.

"Hey Bells, you called?" My voice was calm. I tried playing it cool and you could only barely hear my excitement...except for my voice partly cracking as I finished my question.

"Yeah," there was a slight pause. She was thinking of what she was going to say to me. "Charlie is going fishing with your dad. He asked me if I wanted to go with him over there. I thought I should check with you first."

"You already know I always look forward to your visits here." I had to think about my response. It was smooth, but I couldn't help but let a little of my eagerness slip out. "Now hurry and get ready so you'll get here faster." She laughed and said she'd see me soon before hanging up.

I turned to my dad to tell him the good news, but he already knew.

"I thought it would be nice to have another outing with Charlie," he shrugged innocently. "I also suggested that maybe Bella would enjoy coming over here for a while too."

"Thanks dad." I went and hugged him before going to get changed. I doubt Bella would want to see me in my sleeping attire again.

I thought hard about what to wear, and finally decided on a pale green shirt and blue jeans. I didn't have much of a selection anyway, most of my clothes barely fit anymore. Even the clothes that did were still tight against my body.

A sudden rapping on the door startled me as I smoothed out the creases in my pants.

'It couldn't be Bella already, could it?'

"Jacob, Sam's here!" my dad yelled. And with that, my hopes dropped and my mood took a turn for the worse.

I went and greeted him morosely in the living room and my dad left us alone to get his fishing gear ready.

"Jake," he nodded at me. "It's your turn to patrol today."

I had totally forgotten about my duties. There was no chance that I was going to miss my day with Bella though.

"Actually Sam, I have plans. I'm sure Quil or Embry will cover for me today." I wasn't too worried about shirking my responsibilities. The guys always had my back.

"It's not their turn." His response was stern and held the implication that there was more to this than me not going on patrol. "What is so important that you can't do your part for the village?" I was afraid he already knew the answer.

"Bella's coming over," I said quietly, but loud enough to show that I wasn't going to let him interfere.

Anger flashed across his eyes, but he otherwise showed no signs of annoyance.

"Jacob, I thought we had an understanding. It's not wise for you to be near her." His voice held no softness to it.

"She's safe with me...,"I mumbled, avoiding his gaze.

"She's not Jacob." The volume of his voice rose, but his calm demeanor never faltered. "You're being foolish. I'm telling you to stop this."

His words brushed past me. I would not entertain the idea of being apart from Bella. I knew it wasn't right to disagree with him, but I would fight with all I had to keep Bella in my life.

"What about you and Emily?" His eyes narrowed on me. It was a touchy subject.

"That's different Jacob. I haven't and never will forgive myself for hurting Emily." His tone was tired, but quickly regained it's edge. "It's too dangerous, and if there's a chance to prevent this from happening to the girl who you say you care so much about then we'll take no risks."

He was being dramatic. I wouldn't hurt Bella, I couldn't hurt Bella. She's already been through so much, and all I wanted to do was make her smile. I didn't need much else.

"I can handle it Sam. You and Emily are happy right? I want us to be happy too."

"Jacob, believe me I would have done the same thing with Emily if it meant that I wouldn't have hurt her. I am reminded about what I could have done to her every time I see her."

"You didn't answer my question."

"We are happy Jacob. I could never leave Emily now...I know it would hurt her even more than any physical damage I could do or have done to her. I still worry about the day when this control I have slips. But you Jacob...It's not too late to save Bella." He looked at me kindly as if his reasoning had already won me over.

"No Sam, you're wrong. By keeping us apart you're making me do the exact same thing you don't want to happen with Emily." After my talk with Charlie yesterday, nothing was going to stop me from preventing any thing from hurting Bella again. Nothing. "Bella, she's special."

"No Jacob," he said calmly, obviously ending the conversation.

A moment of silence fell between us, but my resolve wasn't weakened.

"I'm not leaving her," I said with all the conviction in my voice.

"I am telling you no Jacob!" he growled at me before walking away, not wanting to escalate this any further. I was surprised at his brief loss of control.

"Sam...I'm not going to let your authority over me keep us apart." I was talking in a calm voice. I took a deep breath and spoke the words which would change my life forever. "I'm pulling rank."

He froze in place and his ears perked upwards before he turned around to face me. I could tell I was testing his controlled temper even more.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked me in a way which made it sound like a threat.

"Yes"

"Fine then. Congratulations to you, Alpha."

He walked away after I had made him say the words which I'm sure struck a blow to his pride. "Have fun with your leech-lover," he muttered loud enough for my enhanced hearing to pick up. The words struck a cord.

I closed my eyes and clenched my fists to stop myself from shaking. I was alpha of the pack. I never wanted to lead us. I was never going to be as good as Sam. I felt all the responsibility in the world fall on my shoulders. I wasn't sure about the full extent of what I had done, but I held no regrets. I knew that I would be able to handle it all in stride, if only because I knew I could do it with Bella in my life.

KPOK!

I smiled. Bella was here.

A/N Okay, that was a short chapter and Jacob is now leader. hehe, I imagine him wearing a crown where ever it goes. This should be interesting. so...I wasn't sure why I made him eat cheerios for breakfast. What do wolves eat for breakfast? I guess I should have asked. Okay, for the next chapter, I am asking...should Charlie be shot and stay in the hospital? Or should Charlie burn the house down? I need to get rid of him

Okay here's a sorta preview I guess...actually, I don't really have any handy, so here's a preview on a different story I plan on starting in the future.

Edward eats Bella, letter to him

Vague much? Haha, right now its just the title of a blank file in my stories folder. I'm looking forward to writing it though.
