Chapter two: Dreaming.

This chapter takes place right after Jacob fell asleep. There are some New moon spoilers. Jacob's dreaming about Chapter eighteen and a little of the ending of chapter seventeen in New Moon his point of view. This was a hard chapter to start, but when I got into it I really liked writing it. I have to say, I am very, very depressed that I didn't get a single review for the first chapter, and only ten views! Come on people. :

I noticed I forgot to use a disclaimer for the first chapter. So..

Jacob Blacks point of view:

My finger trembles inches from the small doorbell. I can feel sweat falling down my forehead, and it wasn't because I had a temperature of one-o-eight. I swallow hard and try to stop the violent shutters that course through my body.

I can smell it. The bloodsucking leech of Bella's. The smell is sickeningly sweet. Every breath I take it burns my nose. The smell alone makes me want to rip whatever the foul smell was coming from into a million pieces. But I wouldn't. Couldn't. She was Bella's friend. And that's the reason I was here..

I had to tell Bella that I couldn't be her friend as long as the bloodsucker was here. I shutter again and breath through my mouth. I love Bella - I couldn't deny that- but I couldn't be friends with her if it meant her vampire would be here.

I close my eyes and try breathing for a few short minutes. Bella comes to mind right away, as always. I think about all the days we would sit in my garage, while I fixed up all kinds of junk. Every little detail.

Bella's perfect laugh. The sound our soda cans make when we clink them together. How she would grip her side every time he came up in her mind.

I let out a huge gasp of air and opened my heavy eyelids. I reached towards the doorbell, my hand trembling, and I stop close my eyes again.

Finally, I push the button and exhale when I realize I was holding my breath. This shouldn't be this hard..

"Hold on!" A familiar, beautiful voice shouted from inside. My super sensitive ears could hear every move, and word, said. I listened intently.

"Bella." The leech. I was positive it was her. The stench coming off her diamond hard skin still burned in my nose. "I have a fairly good guess who that might be, and I think I'd better step out."

I smirked. It seemed frustrated. I looked back behind me and Jared nodded once.

"Guess?" Bella said, confused. Her voice alone sent butterflies fluttering through my stomach.

"If this is a repeat of my egregious lapse in foresight yesterday, then it's most likely Jacob Black or one of his friends."

A strange noise came from inside my chest and I shuttered. I hated how she said my name.

"You can't see werewolves?" Bella all but gasped.

"So it would seem." I growled and pushed the doorbell two more times, quickly.

"You don't have to go anywhere, Alice. You were her first." I could feel betrayal across my face, and then pain. Was I nothing to this girl who meant so much to me? Did she care that every word she said sent a pang of pain through me? They left her in pieces! How could she forgive them so easily? Stupid, beautiful, self sacrificing, girl.

"Trust me- it wouldn't be a good idea to have me and Jacob Black in a room together." I shuttered.

I heard a window open and heard the soft 'whoosh' as the bloodsucker ran away.

I rang the doorbell once again. I reached for the doorbell ring it a fifth time when Bella opened the door.

I was still shaking slightly. I expected the violent shutters to end when I saw Bella, but nothing changed -except the loss for words.-

Bella looked behind me towards Embry and Jared. Finally she looked back at me and stared.

"Hey." She said finally. I was about to talk, but I wanted to make sure the bloodsucker was really gone. I pursed my lips and looked inside her dark house.

"She's not here. Do you need something?" She hissed.

"You're alone?" Bella sighed. "Yes."

"Can I talk to you a minute?" I asked.

"Of course you can, Jacob. Come on in."

"Jacob." Embry called from the car. It was nothing louder than a whisper, but I heard it. I turned my head to look in his direction. He shook his head.

"Chicken." Bella hissed. I looked back at her and glared down. I stomped up the sidewalk and pushed her aside. "No!" Jared moaned.

I kept walking until I got to the hallway, and stopped. I looked over to the couch and noticed a large pile of blankets and pillows. I felt angry.

"Slumber party?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah." Bella mimicked my tone. "What is it to you?" I took a deep breath trying to calm myself, and almost gagged. Her house reeked.

"Where's your 'friend'?"

"She had some errands to run. Look, Jacob, what do you want?" I couldn't stand being in this room. It made me edgier. I started quivering.

I moved to the kitchen, with Bella close behind me. I paced by the counter. Suddenly, Bella stepped in front of me and I had no choice but to stop.

"Hey. What's your problem?"

"I don't like having to be here." I admitted. She winced, and I felt bad.

"Then I'm sorry you had to come. Why don't you tell me what you need so you can leave?" She muttered quietly.

"I just have to ask you a couple of questions. It shouldn't take long. We have to get back for the funeral." I frowned remembered poor Harry Clearwater had passed away recently. Billy's been moping around all day.

"Okay. Get it over with then." She said in a hurt voice. She tried hiding it but, hey, I'm not stupid. She's a really bad liar.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I stopped trembling. I decided to start with the easiest of the questions.

"One of the Cullens is staying here with you." I stated.

"Yes. Alice Cullen." I nodded.

"How long is she here for?" I asked, not quite sure if I wanted to hear the answer.

"As long as she wants to be. It's an open invitation." She hissed. It stung, but I moved on.

"Do you think you could . . . please . . . explain to her about the other one-Victoria?" I asked. Bella paled and her eyes went wide.

"I told her about that." I nodded.

"You should know that we can only watch our own lands with a Cullen here. You'll be safe in La Push. I can't protect you here." Although I wish I could. Maybe the Cullen girl was good for something. If she couldn't handle the red headed leech Bella would be helpless.. She would d-. I got rid of the thought.

Something moved around outside. The bloodsucker was back. I looked out the dark window and waited for any sign of movement.

"Is that all?" Bella interrupted. "Just one more thing." I said, still looking for something out the window. This was the hardest question I would have to ask her. If she said yes, I would be heartbroken. I knew she would forgive him. No matter what he did to her. He's the reason Bella and I aren't together. The reason Bella grips her side so tightly whenever someone reminds her of him. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Yes?" She prompted when I didn't continue.

"Are the res of them coming back now?" I asked in a quiet voice. After a few seconds she didn't answer and I turned from the window to face her. "Well?" I asked. I struggled to conceal the tension I was feeling.

"No." Bella said finally. I felt relief flutter through my body. "They aren't coming back."

"Okay. That's all." I said. Bella glared at me and her face got red.

"Well, run along now. Go tell Sam that the scary monsters aren't coming to get you." Her words stung, but I didn't want to make things worse. "Okay." I said simply. Her face got redder and redder and I couldn't take it. I walked out of the kitchen in one swift movement, stepping around Bella.

I got to the front door and sighed. I couldn't just leave her. Not like this. I walked quietly back to the kitchen and stopped at the door when I noticed her slumped against the counter with her face buried in her hands. Her breathing became louder.

"Bella . . .?" I asked.

She pulled her face out of her hands. Something sparkling in her hand caught my eye. She was crying. I frowned deeply and thought about walking over there to comfort her. Did she want that? Doesn't matter.

I walked quickly to stand in front of her. She was so small! I had to duck my head to make it so our eyes were almost on the same lever.

"Did it again, didn't I?" I asked.

"Did what?" She asked. Her voice cracked, cutting yet another hole in my heart.

"Broke my promise. Sorry."

"'S'okay. I started it this time." She mumbled. Another hole.

"I knew how you felt about them. It shouldn't have taken me by surprise like that." I whispered.

"Sorry."

"Let's not worry about it, okay? She's just visiting, right? She'll leave, and things will go back to normal." I said darkly. Even a few minutes away from Bella was unbearable. Could I last three days? A week? Longer . . .?

"Can't I be friends with you both at the same time?" She sounded so hurt. I wish we could. "No, I don't think you can." She sniffed and looked down.

"But you'll wait, right? You'll still be my friend, even though I love Alice, too?" My heart skipped a beat. She had never said she loved me.. I smiled and blushed. Maybe when the leech left Bella and I could be together. I regretted thinking this.

"Yeah, I'll always be your friend. No matter what you love." She was still looking down. "Promise?"

"Promise." I pursed my lips, and wound my arms around her. She leaned again my chest and sniffled. "This sucks."

"Yeah." I sniffed her hair and trembled. Her beautiful usually floral smell was now replaced with a horrible smell. Her smell. "Ew." I said, breathing through my mouth.

"What!" She demanded. She looked up and glared. "Why does everyone keep doing that to me? I don't smell!" I smiled.

"Yes, you do-you smell like them. Blech. Too sweet-sickly sweet. And . . . icy. It burns my nose." Her eyes went wide. "Really? But why would Alice thing I smelled, too, then?" She asked. Her words offended me. Stupid leech.

"Huh. Maybe I don't smell so good to her, either. Huh."

"Well, you both smell fine to me." She said putting her head back onto my chest.

"I'll miss you. Every minute. I hope she leaves soon." I whispered. I really did hope so. A day without Bella is like a day without sunshine.

"It really doesn't have to be that way, Jake." She whispered. I sighed. I wish it were simpler though.

"Yes, it really does, Bella. You . . . love her." Wince. "So I'd better not get anywhere near her. I'm not sure that I'm even-tempered enough to handle that. Sam would be mad if I broke the treaty, and you probably wouldn't like it too much if I killed your friend." I ended sarcastically. She pulled away from me, but I tightened my grip on her.

"There's no point in avoiding the truth. That's the way things are, Bells." She frowned deeper.

"I do not like the way things are." She looked down and I pursed my lips, again. I let go of her with my right arm cupped my hand under her chin and forced her to look up. "Yeah. It was easier when we were both human, wasn't it?" I asked, she sighed.

We sat there, not talking, for a long time. She looked so sad. I wanted nothing more than to kiss the sadness away. I looked down at her lips and imagined how they would feel on mine. My hands began trembling.

I used my left hand -right hand still cupped under her chin- and trailed my fingertips across her cheek, down to her jaw. I grabbed her face with my hand and whispered her name. She didn't move.

I had never kissed a girl before. I hadn't ever even liked somebody like this. It would be so simple. She loved me, she just wouldn't admit it. I heard the bloodsucker sneak back in the window and stand in the hallway. She hissed but I ignored her. Bella didn't seem to notice.

All I would have to do is dip my head down a little and touch my lips to hers. Now or never. Slowly, I leaned my head down to hers. My eyes never left hers. Did she want to kiss me back? She looked so unsure. Just a little closer. The slightest bend of my head and our lips would be touching. Just a little..

Suddenly, the phone rang and we both jumped. It pushed us farther apart. I hated the short distance between our lips. Her eyes slid to the phone and I took my hand from under her chin and answered.

"Swan residence." I said, intensely.

"Hello, This is Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Can I speak with Charlie, please?" I sat up strait letting go of Bella's face. My hand felt cold. Another Cullen!?

"He's not here." I hissed.

"May I ask where he is, please?"

"He's at the funeral."

'Beep'. He hung up. I hung up shortly afterwards.

"Filthy bloodsucker." I moaned.

"Who did you just hand up on? In my house on my phone?" Bella gasped. I looked back at her.

"Easy! He hung up on me!"

"He? Who was it?!" It hurt to hear the words. She was really asking if it was the bloodsucker that had left her.

"Dr. Carlisle Cullen." I sneered. Her face turned sad.

"Why didn't you let me talk to him?!" She pushed.

"He didn't ask for you. He asked where Charlie was and I told him. I don't think I broke any rules of etiquette." I replied coldly. My hands started shaking. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath -trying to calm myself- and smelt the sickeningly sweet smell of leech. That only made things worse. The Cullen was in the other room, and I looked. I started trembling.

"Bye, Bells." I said and ran for the front door. Bella stood up after me and tried to follow me. "What is it?" She begged. I turned back on my heels and prepared to go the other way when Bella ran into me. "Shit!" I said under my breath. I spun around again, and knocked Bella sideways. Our legs got tangles up and we both fell together.

"Shoot, ow!" She squeaked. I tried to get away fast, but I just wasn't fast enough. Finally, we got our legs untangled and I got up and darted for the back door. I had no clue where the leech was coming from, but I had to get out of the house. I got to the door, and she was standing there.

Her face was paler than it usually is. Her eyes dark. I skidded to a stop, and froze. She stood motionless at the foot of the stairs. She was trembling.

"Bella." She gasped. Bella ran up to be beside her and let out a cry. "Alice, what's wrong?"

Finally, she looked down at Bella, just noticing her and her eyes were wide with pain.

"Edward." She whispered.

All hope I had disappeared at that moment.
