Once again, short chapter. Grrrr! Sorry!!! Will get longer!! Remember the cake!!!!!!! ;)

Chapter 2 - Camping

"Jacob, honestly," I sat on the hood of the truck while he unpacked the tent. "Camping? Are you trying to get me killed? I'm going to fall down a mountain, or get eaten by rattlesnakes, or, I don't know, hurt myself?" I was shocked when Charlie has said it was perfectly fine for a 17 year old girl to spend the night with her boyfriend in the woods on a camping trip. But Charlie liked to favor Jacob, and I'm sure he wouldn't have agreed had it been someone else.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you," He was such a big tough guy, right. He was big, but I knew he had a soft spot and I was planning on finding his inner baby. "Oh, and rattlesnakes don't eat people. I'm not even sure if Washington has rattlesnakes."

"Uh-huh. What are you afraid of?" I asked an innocent question, right?

"Let's see, losing you and hurting you." I laughed and uncrossed my legs. He sure was something. I watched him carefully as he got the little supplies we brought out of the bed of my truck. Jake had suggested going to the meadow that he didn't know I knew about. That had been our meadow; Edward's meadow. But Edward was no longer a part of my life. I had let Alice and the rest of the Cullen's go when I said no. And now I had what I wanted – Jacob.

"No, I mean what are you afraid of, as in maybe the dark?" I stifled a laugh and watched his face go from confusion, to a smile that showed his white teeth, a contrast from his dark skin.

"I just told you what I'm afraid of, Bells," He walked over to where I was perched on the hood of the truck and put his hands on it next to either of my legs. Even sitting on the truck, I wasn't as tall as he was. He was, well, beautiful. For a moment, I just took in the sight of him; His eyes, his teeth, his hair, his muscles. Damn, I wanted this boy right now. I knew he wanted me too, but he would have to wait, but not for long. The light was already almost completely drained out of the sky.

"I love you, Jake." I kissed his forehead and got ready to hop down from the truck. But he put his hand on my shoulder, stopping me.

"I have to make sure the rattlesnakes don't get you," He joked, holding his arms out to me as I stood on the fender. I raised one eyebrow, clearly not knowing what he was doing. "What are you waiting for? I'm planning on carrying you to the tent that I so intelligently put up, no thanks to you. Oh, and I love you too." To his delight, I giggled and jumped into his arms, but not too gracefully. He acted like he was going to drop me, though I knew he wouldn't. Jacob looked me in the eyes then leaned down to kiss me.

"It's Jacob and Bella!" A familiar voice interrupted us as soon as his lips brushed mine. I looked to my left to see the wolf pack, minus Sam, stepping out of the trees and into the tiny clearing we found. "You know, it's nice that you can live out your fantasies instead of giving us a private screening all the time." Paul was being a smart-ass, as usual. Jacob still hadn't set me down, in fact, his arms tightened around me.

"Um, Jake, can you put me down?" He let go of the death stare he had on Paul and leisurely set me down.

"Hey, Bella, I think Jacob wants us to leave so he can put his hands back on you." The pack laughed and Jake began to tremble. I held on to his arm, as if to hold it in place.

"Shhh," I whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "They just want to give you a hard time. Don't worry about it." He took in what I said and tried to control his shaking, for my sake. Then he spoke.

"Embry, Quil, Paul, Seth, Jared," He named off all who were there, giving each a look before moving on to the next. "I think it's time for you to leave, before Sam wonders what you guys are up to." Paul opened his mouth to say something, but Seth interrupted him.

"Paul, He's right. We said we were going to get some food, since Emily has the flu." Seth placed a hand on Paul's shoulder, but he shook it off and darted into the woods. The rest of them called their goodbyes to Jacob, and then did the same. When they were gone, he sighed and went into the tent, which now held all of our stuff.

"What's wrong?" I demanded when he unfolded our two blankets and laid on one, covered up with the other. I sat next to him. "Jake?"

"It's getting late, Bella. Go to sleep." I checked the watch that was discarded on the rough floor of the tent. It was only 10 o'clock. I sighed and laid on my back, staring at a hole in the top of the tent, until I drifted off.

The nightmare was the worst. I don't know what caused it, but it was most likely Jacob's coldness to me after the pack left. They hadn't sad anything that would've normally set him off. Something was up. But even Jacob can't always protect me from everything. He can't stop Edward from haunting me while I sleep. In the dream, Jacob had come over. But he wasn't himself; he was trying to hurt me. I hid in the hall closet, which was normally used for jackets and such, but it was completely empty. Or so I thought. I heard a soft voice behind me. It was Edward.

The next chapter will be continued with the Nightmare. So the begining of Chapter 3, will be the rest of the nightmare. Got it? Okey dokey. Sorry for the Cliffy. :D
