Chapter 2:

JPOV

As we raced down to La Push I could feel Bella tighten her grip around my waist and take a deep breath. I didn't know how she would handle herself on her own bike. She always seemed to breath deep and heavily when riding with me, and she would never loosen her grip until we had stopped. It was like she was afraid - I mean I knew I drove fast, very fast in fact - but it was something different. I just couldn't quite get my finger on it.

BPOV

I loved riding with Jacob. Well, actually I just loved Jacob. I could never tell him though. I wanted to tell him, so many times, but I was afraid. Afraid that maybe, just maybe he wouldn't love me back and our friendship would break down. But today would be the day that I confessed my love for him. It was time he knew how I felt, I was going to ask Jacob to be my boyfriend and nothing was going to stop me. Except for maybe my fear, but I was trying really, very hard to keep that as far back in my mind as I could, and I'll admit it wasn't easy.

I held him tighter and breathed deep breaths to fill his scent with my lungs. I had never smelt anything quite as nice as Jacob. He smelt… fresh. Fresh like the forests that surrounded my hometown of Forks, Washington, and the rain that came with it almost everyday. It was wonderful to have my lungs filled with Jacob's scent and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

"Are you ok Bella? You seem… Oh, I don't know…just forget I said anything," Jacob said after a few minutes of silence.

"Jacob, just spit it out. I'm not going to bite you or anything," I replied using just the right amount of humour in my voice so that not to concern him.

"Well you just seem a little… tense or anxious or something, like your worried… I don't know, maybe it's just me," He said to me as he slowed down and stopped just inside his home-made garage.

"I'm sorry Jake. Your right I am nervous and worried… I have to talk to you, well, more ask you a question than talk," my voice shook throughout the whole time I got off the bike and headed to the old couch Jacob and I had spent so much time on in my life.

"What's wrong Bells? Are you ok? Has something happened with Charlie? Has someone hurt you?" He asked with so much worry and sadness in his voice that I was starting to worry about him.

"No Jake! Everything is fine…better than fine actually," I assured him.

"Well, what's up then?" Jake asked with curiosity searing through his words.

I had no idea how to say this. I mean I was confessing my love to my best friend, I suppose there really was no easy way to do this. Then all of a sudden There was a loud crash.

Jacob and I both jumped up and ran toward the street, leaving all our worries in the garage. Knowing that I wouldn't get to ask Jacob to be my boyfriend today I just kept running with him by my side to the crash.

When we reached the road, there it was. 3 cars had been pummelled by a semi-trailer, and then I saw it. Charlie's cruiser was one of the cars in the wreck. I knew I couldn't hold my emotions in, but it wasn't until I had reached the cruiser and started screaming Charlie's name at the top of my lungs that I realised that my face was now soaked with my own tears. I could feel Jacob pulling me away, but I just couldn't stop myself. I had to get him out of there before anything happened to him. Since my mum had died only 2 years earlier, he was the only person I had left and I couldn't watch him die. It wouldn't be right if I just stood here waiting for someone to show up. I had to help him.

"Bella, it's ok. Someone is calling an ambulance, the fire brigade and the police right now." Jacob said to me with a calmed expression on his face, though I could hear the worried edge to his voice, and the glassiness to his eyes.

"But Charlie," I screamed at him, "I have to get him out, I have to save him!" It was then that I broke free of his grasp only to fall. My legs just couldn't carry me any farther, all I could do was scrunch up my legs until my chin was resting on my knees and sob. I would have looked so pathetic just lying there like an emotional wreck.

I soon felt Jacob's muscular arms around my cold shivering body and I realized that it had started raining.

The fire brigade had gotten my father out of the wreck and was now wheeling him on a stretcher into the back of an ambulance. Jacob helped me into the back of the ambulance and sat with his arms around me, supporting my weak frame.

Authors notes:

So… I got some good reviews and decided to continue my story.

Please keep the reviews coming and I am pleased to see that people like my writing. Thank-you all…

It was a little hard for me to write that Charlie was in the accident and it was meant to be Edward she found and saved (that was what was supposed to bring them together), but when I started writing it was Charlie who ended up in the wreck and I just seemed to fit. Sorry about that guys. But Edward will be coming in very soon, maybe not the next chapter but the one after. Fingers crossed.
