"It was all just so quick..." He continued. "You were leaving. I didn't have time to sort out my feelings I just knew that I didn't want you to go. It was so in the moment... I-" He stopped suddenly.

"So you do regret it?" I asked. He didn't answer. My face fell in my hands. I started to shake violently. My breaths became frantic. I didn't want to be like this in front of him. I slowed my breathing but I couldn't stop shaking. I turned around and Emmett wasn't there. I jerked my head left then right.

"Emmett?" I called out the the empty room. "No..." I whispered.

In that same moment I heard two feet plant themselves on the floor near my window.

"You let a blood-sucker in here?" a bare chest Jacob exclaimed.

"How could y-"

"I can smell it." The anger from his face suddenly disappeared and it was now filled with concern.

"Are you okay?" He said as he noticed my shaking body.

He put his hand on my back and I took a staggered breath. He gripped my shoulders and slowly rotated my body.

He gasped. "Bella, what happened to your back?"

"What?" I said twisting my neck as far as it could go.

He pulled up the back of my shirt. "It's completely black!" He touched my skin and I winced.

"Did he do this to you?" He asked in a demanding tone.

"No... I fell when I got home. I slipped on a piece of ice. It's nothing."

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying!" I protested. He groaned in defeat.

"Well I know he's been here."

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said attempting to sound innocent.

"Bella, one of those nasty leeches has been here. Don't lie to me."

"Um..." I began looking at my feet. "Emmett came back."

"Cullen?" I nodded my head.

"What did he want?" He asked.

"To make sure I was okay."

"That's my job..." He muttered.

"Jake, really. Just... Don't."

"What?"

"I'm sick of everyone being so protective over me." I said as I sat on the edge of my bed. I bit my tongue to keep from letting out a noise expressing my pain.

"It's not your choice." I looked up at him.

"Then what is?"

"Who you let in your life." He said.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I wanted to see if the rumors were true." Jacob knelt down in front of me. "Seth phased tonight."

"Clearwater? He's a kid!" I said shocked.

"He was the gray one."

"Why did Sam attack him?"

"Sam didn't attack him, he was teaching him."

"Why would he do that with an outsider around?" I asked meaning me.

"He had no choice. Seth phased right there. He just went bizzerc." Jacob looked at me and noticed my confused expression. "The first few times we phase we get a little out of control. We can't control ourselves. We become complete animals. Our human brain just turns off and we're running on confusion and strength." He cleared his throat. "Seth considers me his big brother. When he phased he got scared and called for me."

"Called for you?" I asked confused. "I didn't hear anything."

He chuckled. "We are all connected by our brainwaves. We can hear each other's thoughts."

"Really?" I asked as I curled my legs under me.

"Yeah. Right now Quill is having a dream about you."

"No he's not." I laughed.

"Yeah, he is. You're standing at the edge of his bed... You just took off your shirt... Aw, Jim Carey just walked in!"

"You totally just made that up!" I laughed.

"I wish I did!" He said curling over from laughing so hard.

"There are some things I wish I could un see." He said as our laughter stopped. Then his face turned to saddened stone.

"Jake, what's wrong?"

"I've gotta get something off my chest..." He took a deep breath. "Bella, after finding you in the woods... Asking to die... It killed me. Every time I look at you I don't really see you anymore. In the back of my head it just plays over and over... I see you screaming and broken and I just want to take your pain away."

"I'm so sorry, Jake... I never wanted-" He quietly shushed me.

"It's not your fault. It's his." I looked up at him. "That's why I don't think you should be around him anymore."

"That's not your call." I said harshly.

"I know, it is completely your choice. I just want you to make the right one."

"For who? Me or you?"

"Bella-"

"Jake," I interrupted. "If I want him in my life that's what's going to happen. Nothing you say can change that."

"Even if I said you would loose me?"

I looked at him in disbelief. "That is so unfair..."

"Well that's what it's going to come down to. Maybe not today, but eventually he will break us apart." His words were mixed with anger and sadness.

"Don't say that."

"Why? Do you want me to lie to you?"

"No, I want you to accept him." I said.

"Bella, I can't do that."

"Why?" I pleaded.

"Vampires and warewolves... We're famous for living in harmony." He turned to me. "We are natural born enemies. It starts with the stench then the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up. The physical presence of a vampire drives us crazy."

"I'm not saying you have to live together or anything. You don't have to become best friends either... I'll take a thousand showers a day if I have to. Can't you push it aside?"

"Bella, warewolves exist for the soul purpose of killing vampires." He said.

"So, there's no way..." He shook his head.

"You can't even try?" I pleaded.

"It's not possible."

"Great..." I said sarcastically.

"That's why you should make the choice now. If you keep this up you'll get hurt even worse."

"No." I protested. "Absolutely not. I'm not going to choose between you."

"Like I said, you don't have to today, but someday you're gunna get real tired of jumping back and forth trying to please everybody. The sooner you realize it's impossible the better off you'll be."

"Jake, you're a warewolf. You should know first hand that nothing is impossible."
