--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Edward! Please I am fine-

"FINE?! Bella bruises are already forming on your face!" He was furious but I needed to sort this all out today, no interruptions.

"Edward, please forget about it for now I really need to speak to Jake". I stroked his cheek as I said this and he seemed to calm a little. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, when he reopened them he stared at Jake angrily.

"Listen dog, you have marked her once but if she comes back in a state less than perfect, I shall kill you" he spat.

Jake just stared at him unphased. I could tell he was speaking to him through his thoughts but I didn't psh it. I climbed onto the back of his motorcycle and I managed to blow a kiss to Edward before we sped off. his face was full of anger and anxiety.

It was a silent ride to La Push; I was getting used to these now. I was glad for now that I wasn't looking at Jake's face.

We pulled up into his driveway and walked into the house. I went and sat on the sofa willing Jake to say something. He stood with his back to me.

"Bella, will you come for a walk on the beach with me?" He asked without looking at me. I bit my lip nervious of what he would say.

"Of course Jake" I said as I got up and pulled him by his hand. As we reached the beach I went to let go and walk on but he held fast onto mine. He looked at my face and I saw he was close to tears.

"Bells...I...I am so sorry, please for-

"Jake, do not worry about it, I know you forget your own strength sometimes. Let's just say you got caught up in the moment". I laughed and he smiled in return.

"I am sorry". I remembered something I wished to ask a few days before.

"Jake that day they came back, what were you saying to Edward...in your head?" I wanted to know this so badly because the pain on Edward's face had haunted my dreams. Jake looked down sheepishly.

"Well...I, um...kinda showed him what you were like when he was gone, to hurt him". He said this last part with some satisfaction. I stood there with my mouth open shocked at what I just heard. Before I let my anger explode I had another.

"Also, that kiss...outside my house that night? Was that to hurt him as well?" I could feel myself blush but...not from embarrassment but from anger.

"Yea...sorry". He looked down at his feet, clearly ashamed at using me. I scoffed.

"Jake...that...I...grrrr" I was so angry I was speechless. He must have thought something funny of the situation because a cheeky grin plastered his face as he looked up. I gave him a stinking look and turned to make my way back to his house. He caught up with me easily and caught me by the hand to pull me into his chest.

"C'mon Bells, you know I'm sorry, pleaseeee forgive me?" He looked at me with a pout, I couldn't help but grin.

"Maybe I will, but-

Before I could finish he placed his lips on mine kissing me feverishly. I didn't want this now so I placed my hands on the back of his neck and tried pulling him off me...but he mistook this for passion. He squeezed me tighter and I fought to be released but I was losing this struggle.

While his left hand was on my cheek, his right was on my hip and I could feel him slide it up to my waist pulling my shirt up a little as he did. Don't you dare! My mind was screaming, he slid his hand up a bit more and I knew I needed to get off him no. I brought my hand and slapped him across the face as hard as I could without hurting myself too much. He dropped me instantly.

"Count yourself lucky that you are a werewolf, otherwise I would have broken your jaw!" I snarled at him and turned to walk off. He gave chase and spun me around.

"Now wait a minute Bells-"

"No Jacob! How dare you...without my permission!" I was incredulous. How could he just think that was alright?! His face suddenly became angry and I flinched.

"I bet you wouldn't stop your beloved bloodsucker!" I stared at him open mouthed. He was gripping my arms tightly now and it hurt a little.

"This has nothing to do with Edward! We are not even back together! We are just friends-

"FOR THE MOMENT!" I flinched at his sudden outburst. I broke from his grip and moved back from him.

I felt Edward's cell phone buzzing in my pocket but did not reach for it.

"I mean c'mon Bella, admit it you were using me until he came back weren't you?" I gasped at this. How dare he say something like that to me?

"Jake! You know how much I care for you! How can you even suggest that?" I felt tears filling my eyes but fought them. They were tears of anger more than sadness.

"I LOVE YOU BELLA! Is it not enough?" I found a trace of sadness in his tone. My heart crumbled a little seeing him this deflated.

"Jake...I love you- he smiled and looked up at this with hope in his eyes, -but I am not in love with you and my love for Edward is eternal and can never be replaced, I'm so sorry but I have to be honest". I looked up and saw him shaking worse than ever before.

"Jake, wha-

Before I could finish, a giant russet wolf stood in his place snarling at me with very sharp long teeth.

I didn't have the time to run away and the last thing I felt was being ripped , I felt the warm blood flow onto me and then I was accepted by the painless blackness...
