Bella's POV

I stayed at Sam's house for a couple of hours. I found out that the beautiful woman who had opened the door was his fiancée, Emily. I felt like a part of their family. Sam actually thought of me as his sister, which I think was weird because he just met me but he keeps saying that he feels like we have a weird brother-sister connection. I believed him because I felt like he was my brother too. I felt warm and protected when Sam was around. I couldn't help myself and decided to ask Sam about Emily's scars.

"Sam. How did Emily get those scars?" I asked him when I was sure that Emily couldn't hear us. Sam stiffened. "What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing's wrong Bella. He just doesn't like to talk about it." Emily replied while coming back into the room with a tray of muffins. "It was a bear attack" she said and then looked at Sam who was too busy looking at the floor. "if it wasn't for Sam I don't know what I would've done. You know people look at you differently if you have scars on your face. They think you're a monster and I'm so glad I have my Sam here to protect me from everything. It doesn't matter to me what they think of me. The only person that I care about is sitting right here next to me." There was so much love and affection in her eyes that I had to look away. When I looked back Sam was slowly tracing her scars. Both of them had so much love shining through their eyes. I was getting over Edward but it still hurt to know that he never thought of me the way Sam thinks of Emily or the way Sam looks at Emily. I wanted a love that was as pure as theirs. I wanted to have a special someone who could just stare into my eyes all night. I wanted to be loved the way Emily was loved.

"I should be going" I said breaking them out of their trance.

"I'll walk you out" Emily said and stood up with a he smile on her face.

As we were headed towards the door Sam came up to me and gave me a hug "come back to see me soon okay?" he said to me.

"I will Sam but you guys have to come over sometime too" I told him

"Of course" then Emily and I walked towards my truck. Emily surprised me more than ever by hugging me before I got into my truck then she said:

"Don't be a stranger okay? Keep coming over. I don't usually get a lot of company so its nice to have a girl friend who doesn't always act like a child. I'm glad you came over today Bella"

"Thank you for letting me stay so long Emily. I had a lot of fun and trust me ill be over so much that you'll have to kick me out of your house"

"Never going to happen honey. Not you better get home before Chief Swan sends a search party for you"

I laughed and got into my truck and then drove off.

I had a wonderful time with Sam and Emily but something was bugging me again. I didn't know what it was but it was bugging me. I got home and realized that dad wasn't home. I went to the kitchen pulled out yesterday's leftovers and left them on the shelf for him to see and went to bed. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. Shit it was Monday and I had to go to school. I slowly got out of bed and grabbed my toiletries. I would have to shower today. I showered and shaved and straightened my hair. Today I decided to put on my white skinny jeans and light blue top. I looked good. Dad had already left o I made myself a bowl of cereal and left. I got to school right on time. I got out of my truck and almost ran to my first period class. I ran to my seat next to Angela. She just stared at me

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I asked her

"No it's just that you look different"

"Oh well umm okay" and I went back to focusing on the lesson. I had to get my grades to go back up. It was the final year and I couldn't afford to do worse than I had been doing these past months. I needed to get my grades to go back up.

During lunch I sat next to Jessica. Who kept saying "you're going to make a lesbian out of me." We played with our food and everyone was shocked to see me play fighting with Jess.

"Bella baby you look hot" the annoying voice of Mike Newton reached my ears.

"Back off Newton. She's not interested." Jessica came to my rescue.

"Let her speak for herself Jessica. No one asked you" said Lauren

"Back off Newton. I'm not interested" I said looking at Lauren and then at Mike. Lauren looked kind of shocked that I had actually said something. I've never said anything to her before. I've always let her get away with all the shit she pulls, but not anymore. I promised myself that I wouldn't be a door mat anymore so I was speaking up for myself.

"Happy Lauren?" said Jessica in a fake sweet voice. Then she turned to me. "Tell me Bella who was the hot native with you at the beach yesterday?"

Oh god "Jacob? He's an old family friend, wait, how do you know I was at the beach yesterday?"

"I was there with Angela and we saw you guys but didn't want to interrupt because it looked like you guys were having a serious conversation."

"Yeah well he's Jake and before you ask yes he's single. I could introduce you guys"

"Ah I knew there was a reason I liked you"

"Shut up" I said to her "You would like me even if I wasn't introducing you to a hot native"

"What the hell? How can all of you guys be okay with this? She ditches us for the Cullen's and then comes back like nothing ever happened?"

"Baby you're just jealous that the Cullen's were interested in me and not you. You can't stand the fact that you have been here and studying with Edward for 3 years now but he never so much as looked your way but he loved me."

"He dumped you in the forest because he loved you, right?"

"If you don't know what happened Lauren I suggest you keep your mouth shut. But then again a whore like you doesn't know how to keep that thing shut. I know how many 'offers' you made Edward while I was dating him and I know how many offers you have made too almost the entire male population of Forks High" I said while looking her in the eye.

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about" she murmured

The bell rang so Jess and I went to biology. Hand in hand. The rest of the day was uneventful. Finally the bell rang and we ran out. I couldn't wait to get home. I had plans with Jacob again. I promised to meet him at first beach.

I got home and changed into my swim suit and put a skirt of top of my bikini bottoms I also wore an over the shoulder top to cover up the top part of my bikini until I was at the beach. I arrived at the beach and waited for Jake. 15 minutes went by and then half an hour. Soon it had been two hours and Jacob hadn't shown. I decided to go to his house. I got there and banged on his door. He opened the door looking very angry.

"Jacob. What the hell? I've been waiting for you for two hours now. You can't make plans and then not show up."

"You need to get out of here Bella. I don't want to see you. I don't want to make plans with you and I don't want to look at you." He hissed in my face.

"You've got to be kidding me. Well okay I've already been abandoned once I can get abandoned again. No big deal. You know what Black? Fuck you! There is nothing wrong with me. It's just the guys I hang out with. They're all mentally disturbed and then PMS. I mean seriously, one day they tell you they want to be your friend and then the next day they tell you they don't want to see you again. Or one day they tell you they love you so much and the next they break up with you." I was angry. Really angry. No one will play with my emotions again. Ever. I walked towards my truck, got in and drive towards Sam's house.

When I parked in front of his house I saw a couple half naked boys standing in the front yard. I swear I heard one of them say something like "oh hey, it's the leech lover" I walked towards one of them and asked "is Sam home?"

"No sweetheart he has work to do right now but I can help you"

"No its okay, I just needed to talk to him for a little bit"

"What does your ass think it's too good for us and only ask for help from leeches?" an unknown voice said. I tried to locate the voice behind all these boys and then I saw him. His body was shaking and I didn't know if I should be scared or if I should go and try to calm him.

"Paul! Paul calm down" the guy that was talking to me said.

"No Jared. Does she think she's too good?"

"She didn't even say that man! Calm down"

"So you're supporting the leech lover too now eh?"

I was too busy looking at his much toned body to pay attention to anything he was saying. He was beautiful. Wait what? I looked at his arms and all I would think was being wrapped in those arms and sitting very comfortably by the beach. I was thinking about being held up against the wall while those beautiful lips kissed me. What am I thinking? I've never thought this way about anyone. Not even Edward. Now I wanted to kiss some unknown man? That when I looked up into his eyes and my world froze. It was like everything that connected me to this world had suddenly been cut off and that man -who had suddenly stopped shaking- held me to this earth. I couldn't describe the feeling but I wanted to stand by him for the rest of my life. I wanted to be wrapped around him every second of the day. I wanted to wake up with him in the morning. What was happening to me?
