-1Chapter 6:

'I guess I should just get this over with' said Jacob after he had showed Rose around La Push and introduced her to his friends. His nerves were clearly visible on his face. 'Jeez, this is stupid' Rose wasn't sure if he was still talking to her or whether he was now talking to himself. 'I mean we're still friends. Mostly. Sort of.'

'D'you want me to come with you?' asked Rose. 'You know, moral support and all that'

Jacob smiled gratefully. 'Are you sure you wouldn't mind?'

'Jake, you pull me all the way out here, because you knew I needed a break, the least I can do is come with you to see Bella' replied Rose. 'And anyway I want to meet the girl who turned you down for a vampire.' she paused and smiled deviously 'Oh and I'm going to pull you there now before you chicken out'

Jacob pretended to sulk 'I am not going to chicken out'

'Come on then' Rose walked forward, acting like she knew where she was going.

Jacob rolled his eyes and caught up with her to point her in the right direction.

'So what's Bella look like?' asked Rose.

'She's got medium length brown hair' said Jacob. 'I think she's really pretty. You'll see in a minute'

'Yep' It felt weird to Rose. She was in a different place, an unknown place, but the Doctor wasn't with her. She kept expecting to see him there, but then remember she was there with Jacob because he had lost the Doctor. She was going to have to get used to this new place without him. On the plane Jacob had warned Rose that Forks was one of the wettest places in America, and it definitely lived up that description. Rain, however, wasn't a problem for Rose, after all she lived in England.

'That's Bella's house' Rose made her gaze follow Jacob's outstretched finger. He was pointing at a house, with a orange truck parked outside. 'You know I could just ring'

Rose stared at him, then in a mimicking voice said '"I'm not going to chicken out"'

Jacob sighed and they walked up to the house. Jacob didn't bother knocking, he just shouted. 'HEY BELLS'

A few moments later, Bella opened the front door. A huge smile grew on her face 'Jacob' she said, ran up to him and hugged him. Because she was behind Bella, Rose was able to see Bella's face as she hugged Jacob. She had her head leaned against his head and there was the huge smile was still plastered all over her face. She looked so happy to see him, it was like he was the most important thing in the world. And yet she choice Edward over him. Jacob had been right, this girl was a bit stupid. After a few moments Bella pulled out of the hug, she looked from Jacob to Rose, her smile suddenly changing to a look of jealousy. 'Have you got a girlfriend, Jake?' she asked.

Rose was lucky she wasn't eating or drinking at the time, because she was certain she would've choked if she had been. 'I'm Rose' she answered for Jacob. 'And we're just friends.' The thought horrified Rose, she hated even thinking about being with anyone who wasn't the Doctor. And anyway, Jacob was still head over heels in love with the girl in front of him. They were friends.

'Aw, you're British' Bella voice was instantly patronising.

'Observant aren't you?' said Rose sarcastically. She couldn't help it, she had taken an instant disliking to Bella. A mixture of the things Jacob had told her and the way she was acting now made Rose dislike her. Plus she had gotten enough patronising talk in high school, she didn't need it now, especially not from someone younger than her.

Bella ignored the sarcasm and in an over-friendly, obviously fake voice asked 'So how'd you meet Jacob?'

'He was scaring the locals' Rose replied. She smirked 'and don't worry he's told me all about you'

Bella suddenly looked worried. She tried to keep her voice even 'What's he been saying about me, then?'

'Now girls, play nice' Jacob tried to lighten the tone of the situation. He was unsuccessful.

'Just about your perfect love story, with the dead guy' Rose replied. She felt bad for Jacob, he hadn't been that harsh. 'Don't worry, Jacob didn't use those words, he's too nice to do that. But I guess you'd know that considering the way you pick him up and drop him, knowing he'll always be there'

'Rose…' warned Jacob. He could tell how annoyed Bella was getting, but Rose took no notice.

'What's wrong, Bella? Does the truth hurt?' asked Rose. 'See Jake's made a real friend now, one who's not afraid to…' Rose was cut off by a sharp pain hitting her cheek as Bella slapped her. She looked up at Bella in annoyance 'Oh no you don't' She slapped Bella back.

'STOP IT BOTH OF YOU' shouted Jacob, as they continued hitting each other. Neither of them took any notice of him, and within seconds they were on the ground pulling each others hair and trying to scratch in a typical cat fight.

A few moments later, at the speed of lightning, Edward appeared and pulled the two girls apart. He held Bella protectively and glared Jacob and Rose. When he spoke he directed it at Jacob 'Control your girlfriend, Jacob'

'She's not my girlfriend' Jacob said, and t the same time Rose said 'I'm not his girlfriend'

'No, you're a pyscho' muttered Bella.

'That's not helping' Edward told her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her.

'I think I'm going to be sick' muttered Rose.

Edward turned to her. 'You may think you know everything, because of what he's told you, but you don't have a clue, Rose Tyler. I love Bella'

'So much that you left her broken' replied Rose. 'Jacob was the one who had to pick up the pieces.'

'Yeah and then he ran' said Edward.

'Oh don't try and take the moral high ground, Cullen. Jacob left because he needed a break. He was there for Bella when you weren't, but she practically dropped him when you returned' said Rose.

'Rose, I don't need you to fight my corner for me' Jacob whispered.

'I think you should take Rose and go' said Edward.

'With pleasure' said Jacob and he led Rose away.
