Hello faithful readers! Thank you for being patient with me. I've been sick and having a little bit of problems with dyslexia…so, I really had to work on this chapter. I hope all enjoy it! Please review! I have a couple of ideas bouncy around in my head about how to end this story, but I do want to know if y'all want to see Bella and Jasper having a sort of Cullen family reunion? Finding out what Alice really thinks? What will Edward think? Let me know your thoughts!

I don't think there's anything scarier, than watching someone you love slip away right before your eyes and not be able to do a darn thing about it. I hate that I have to just stand here and watch these boys try to save the life of the girl I love. I'm absolutely terrified right now and that says a lot, considering my past. I want to help, but what can I really do? I have to let them be, but this is killing me, I just want to be by her side, but every time I take even a step closer I hear growls coming from the trees. I know that they wouldn't think twice before they ripped me to shreds. So, I step back and wait.

"Come on Bella. Breathe!" Jacob is breathing for her, while Embry is trying to pump the air into her lungs.

"Breathe Bells! Breathe!"

It feels like it's been hours since they started the CPR, but it's only been minutes. It feels like time has stopped and everyone has frozen right where they are. Waiting. Hoping for a miracle. Everyone watching to see if there's any life left in her tiny, fragile body. The wolves have changed back into their human forms and slowly stepped out into the sand. We're all waiting. As every second goes by I feel the panic building, not just in me, but everyone that's here on this beach. I look around at each of their faces; they're all wearing the same pained expression. It dawned on me. They love her too. Every last one of them. I almost wanted to laugh because I realized we actually have something in common. Bella. We all love that beautiful girl. I can't believe I'm in love with her. I am really, truly in love with her. She has to make it. I cannot live in a world where Bella didn't exist. She's become my everything. I wonder if this is why Alice sent me away. She must have known that I would have ended up back in Forks to find Bella, love of my life.

"Jacob, Jacob stop. Hurry sit her up." She breathed! Praise God! I wanted to rush over to her, but I saw Jacob glance at me, warning me not to come any closer. Embry helped Bella sit up and had her resting against his chest. She's spluttering and coughing; she's trying to say something, but can't quite get it out. The others slowly start moving closer, waiting, watching for her eyes to open up. Jacob is right in front of her, she'll see him first. Her coughing has slowed and her heart is starting to beat normally again. I can see the color in her face returning. I can't get much of a read on her emotions, they're too sporadic. It took a few more moments and then her breathing became more regular again and then she opens her eyes and looks up at Jacob and she slowly turns her head to look at who is holding her. Then I saw her lip quiver and she looked like she was about to start crying, something I was not expecting. A single tear spilled from her eye and rolled down her check.

"Bella? Bella, honey, are you okay?" Since when does Jacob call her 'honey'? She looked like she was about to answer, but she burst into tears and I could feel crippling disappointment rolling off of her. She clung to Embry and his eyes met with Jacob, they were both confused and deeply concerned. Embry tried talking to her asking her to talk to him. She whimpered. "Bella, please. You're killing me here. What happened? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" She took a couple of calming breaths and whispered into his chest just one word.

"Jasper." More tears slid down her soft cheek and I stared at her and if I still had a heartbeat. It would have stopped at hearing her say my name. Jacob turned his head and looked at me. He was just as confused and surprised as I was. He locked eyes with me and turned and looked back at Bella. "The leeches' brother?" She nodded her head. "I-I r-re-really thought h-he was here this time. I-I thought it was him who saved me. Oh my gosh. I really am going crazy." This time? What does she mean this time? Jacob calmly reached for her and gentle placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face up until her eyes met his. "Bella, you aren't going crazy. He's here. He saved you from the water" Her eye widened and she watched as Jacob stood up and moved out of the way, revealing that I was just a few yards behind him. She gasped and her heartbeat picked up. She grabbed Embry's arm, getting his attention. Without looking away from me, she asked him, "Is he real, Emrby?" He kind of laughed and said. "He's real, Bells." He helped her stand up and held on to her as she balanced herself and he looked at me, giving me permission to come over. He was no longer afraid of me. I watched Bella's beautiful brown eyes as I walked over to her and I had to resist picking her up and holding her in my arms. But her tiny, delicate hand reached out and touched a lock of my hair and twirled it in her fingers and she smiled at it. She looked up at me; our eyes meeting again and she smiled that beautiful Bella smile and jumped into my arms.

"Jasper! It really is you. It was you the whole time." Whole time? I have no idea what she's talking about, but I wrapped my arms around her and smiled into her hair. "Yes, darling, it's me."
