Chapter 10: Jacob's POV (some time has passed since the last chapter)

I woke to the sound of the phone ringing, ugh Billy wasn't home. I rubbed my eyes as I crossed the short hallway in two steps, stopping it mid-ring.

"Yeah?" who the heck was calling me at ten in the morning? I'm never up this early.

"Hey Jake," oh, it was Bella.

"Hey Bells," I said groggily, "What's up?"

"You think you could meet Edward and I up at the clearing?"

"Right, now?" My heart raced at the sound of his name. I hated this. Half my mind was completely controlled by instinct, including the fact that I had imprinted. The other sane, human half of my head yelled at the other half. This was so ridiculous, besides the fact that he is your enemy and a guy, he is also a vampire! The argument with myself raged in my head. I think I was going bipolar. I struggled to bring myself back to the conversation, Bella was saying something.

"Um, whenever's good for you."

"Oh, well, I guess I'll head out there now," the instinct controlled half of me said. Well may be it was the human side it was hard to tell some times.

"Great, see you soon Jake!"

The line went dead. Ugh, being with Edward and Bella was the worst. Yes I'd imprinted on Edward, but that was just one half of me. The other half still loved Bella. As weird as all these wolf things are, this is definitely the creepiest.

My nostrils flared, whether he was the reason for my existence or not the disgustingly sweet smell was growing stronger and unbearable. Adrenalin pumped in my veins at my natural enemy, and purpose of life. That instinct controlled half of me gained control as he and Bella stepped into the clearing. The words anything for Edward continued to repeat in my head.

(Okay back to Bella's POV)

Edwards arm was tight around my waist as Jake came into view. I had my arm around him as well; no werewolf was going to steal my man. sorry wanted her to say that so bad

"Hey Jake," I said as we entered hearing range, well my hearing range at least.

He looked at me smiling again, I was happy this was his old smile, the nice one freed from the mask.

"Hey Bells, Edward." He said turning to him. Edward took over then.

"Well Jacob, you know that the wedding is less than two weeks away. But there's sort of problem, some unwanted visitors we'll call them. I know you said you'd do anything for me and I was determined to totally ignore that. Except I need a favor."

"Anything." Jake said, although he was no longer smiling he looked like he was trying to tear himself in half.

"Well I want you to go to Volterra, there is a family of vampires there. I just need you to keep them out of Forks until three days after the wedding."

Jacob's face fell, as ironic as it was I suppose he was loosing the second love of his life and he couldn't help but follow his instincts.

"Alright, when?"

"As soon as possible, Alice will get you plane tickets. You just need to stop them from coming here."

Jake saluted Edward, and I had to laugh, he did sound like a military commander.

"Wow, thanks Jake," I said beginning to feel left out of the conversation.

"Anything…" he said that same torn look on his face.
