"I don't know what it is, that makes me fall like this."


You can say the rest of my freshman year was like someone plummeting me down to the fiery doom of Hades. It was hell. I've never felt so alone in my whole entire life. Ever since that night with Edward, he hasn't even looked at me. He hasn't talked to me, glanced my way on accident. Basically, he ignored me. It's hard to believe that I could love someone my WHOLE entire life, and yet he can forget me just like that. You mean to tell me that he doesn't even think of me? Ever? I felt that same sharp pain in my chest, the most familiar thing to me. The pain of losing him. He was hanging out with the popular kids, and had about three girls around him every time I saw him. Yeah, he's heartbroken alright. . . I tried to let it not affect me. I tried to be strong and be tough, but there was no way around this. Every time I saw him it was like someone shot me in the chest. It was horrible.

But they always say, when you hit rock bottom, there isn't anywhere to go but up. It was in the beginning of my sophomore year, and I was on my way to algebra. I remember exactly what I was wearing. It was my favorite dark jeans I bought with rips all in them, and my cute white flowy tank top and a my cute gray, wool sweater. It had gray buttons, but I never buttoned it. I had a cute hat and scarf to go with it but I wasn't allowed to wear it during school.

I was looking at my phone because I was running late, and my books were falling, I was a mess mentally at that point. It happens when you get your heart broken. Your all over the place. Suddenly, I felt something large hit my chest, and it made me fall on my butt, hard. All my books and papers went everywhere, it was horrible. I was about to have a mental break down, but then I saw a pair of large, dark hands pick them up quickly.

"Sorry about that." A deep voice said to me. I looked up and noticed the beautiful thing in front of me. My mouth opened to a little 'o' as I starred at his face. He had tan, dark skin, and beautiful brown eyes. He had short brown hair and the most beautiful teeth I think I've ever seen.

"No, no, it's okay. Really." I said, coming back down to earth and helping him pick up the papers and books.

"Your lost too? Damn, I hate being a freshman." He chuckled.

"Ha, ha no actually I'm just running late. I'm a sophomore. So you're a freshman, huh?"

"Ha, ha yeah. I'm Jacob. Nice to meet you. . .?"

"Bella. Nice to meet you too. You know what, screw it. Want to skip? I got a car." I smiled. He flashed his huge grin and helped me up.

I don't really know where that came from. Ever since I've been in high school I've never skipped class. Why did I decide to do it now? Was I trying to impress him?

"Yeah sure. Where too?" He asked, grinning from ear to ear.

"Mh, how about Charlie's, I can go for some pizza." I said rubbing my stomach.

"Sure, but one condition."

"And what's that?"

"It's on me." He smiled. I giggled, and nodded. Wow, that was the first time I laughed in months. For the first time in a LONG time, I didn't force it. It was a natural response that I missed out on for a year. The feeling made my chest flutter with excitement.

We got to Charlie's and ordered a medium pizza to share. Yeah, I eat a lot. . . it's the curse of the cool. Jacob pulled out my chair for me and put the pizza in the middle of the table. He sat across from me and opened the box with a smile.

"Okay, please tell me more about yourself." I smiled. Man, I missed that feeling.

"My name is Jacob." He said, mouth filled with pizza.

"You idiot! I know that already. Something else."

"Oh, ha ha, okay well um, my dad and I live in La Push, I like to fix cars and motorcycles, I'm kind of stubborn and a hard ass, and. . . my hair used to be long."

"Oh my god, I can't imagine you with long hair ha ha, sweet motorcycles. Have any?" I asked, raising one eyebrow. An attempt to flirt? Hope not, because that was pretty sad.

"Ha ha, only one. It took me a whole year to fix that baby up. But it's decent."

"I love motorcycles. Well only recently I did." Like right now kind of recently, "I love the whole leather, bad ass scene. It's kind of my new thing." True, ever since Edward stopped talking to me I started craving to be a bad ass and rebel. As you can tell I didn't, but the whole, 'Man that guy broke up with that girl but she's still strong' type thing was something I craved. Too bad I'm such a weakling and I let a guy just ruin my life.

"I'll have to take you for a ride sometime." He grinned flirtatiously. Wow, he is gorgeous.

"You know your sort of beautiful, right?" I thought out loud. I blushed instantly. He started bursting out laughing.

"Thanks I guess? Ha, ha! Your sort of beautiful too." He chuckled, "Man the guys would get a kick out of you."

"The guys?"

"Yeah, they go to high school here. One of them is a senior, his name is Sam. He's very. . . protective of us. Very dominate. But a big Care Bear on the inside. Paul, and Jared are sophomores. Paul. . . well he has kind of a temper. But all in all, is a blast to be around. Jared is so stupid and out there. He's such a moron who says he doesn't need to be smart because he can cruise through life with his good looks. An idiot I know, but he has a girlfriend named Kim, so he's getting some action. Ha, ha but Sarah doesn't really hang with us much. Quil, Embry, Seth and I are freshman. Quil is a prankster and loves to irritate people. Embry is mature, but loves to break your chops. Seth is very quiet and loyal. Sweet in general. And Jacob, MAN! He is HOT!"

"HA! I must meet this Jacob!" I giggled, "Well ain't you Mr. Popularity."

"Nah, there just old friends from La Push." He suddenly started laughing, "Oh yeah, I forgot the girls." He smirked, "Emily and Leah. They'll love you. Leah is a Seth's sister, a sophomore like you, a little quiet, but she's type badass and she never does what people tell her. She's a fucking beast at dancing. No one can touch her in that department," sounds interesting!, "Emily is Sam's girlfriend, a Junior. She's probably the sweetest person you'll ever know."

"Well, I'll have to meet them all sometime."

"Oh yeah sure. They'll all like you." He smiled, "Enough about my gay life, what about you?"

"Well," I smiled, "I live with my mom, I used to live in Texas with my dad Charlie but I moved down here to Forks to be with my mother when I was just 9. I don't really hang with people much. Popularity isn't my style at all. I would be fine all by myself." What a horrible lie, "Not much to tell. . . I'm fine with just hanging out and watching movies. It doesn't take me much to be entertained ha, ha. Aaaaaand, I make the best truffle cake. That's about it. Ha, ha my life is pretty boring."

"Man, truffle cake sounds awesome right now." He said rubbing his stomach. It looked hard. . . like he has abs. Lord.

"Ha, ha. I'll have to make you some."

"Here's your bill sir." The waitress came in and interrupted. I rolled my eyes. Jacob nodded and paid for it. I didn't notice but the pizza was gone. I wonder how many pieces I ate? I just remember picking up one piece after another and shoving it down my throat. He probably thinks I'm a pig.

"It's 1, and I have a test in Chemistry next. Damn. . ."

"It's okay, come on. I'm late for my next class anyway."

We walked outside and then to the car. It took us about two minutes to get back to school. We snuck back in and then we walked a ways. Soon though, we had to separate. All my classes were upstairs, and all his were downstairs. He walked me to the stair and then smiled at me all geeky and whatnot.

"Hey, thanks for the pizza." I smiled, walking up one step.

"No problem, it was fun. We should hang out sometime. Maybe you can come down to La Push and meet everybody."

"I would like that a lot." I smiled.

"Okay, see ya!" He said, then ran down the hall. I stood on the stairs for a while, and then jumped when I heard the sound of someone walking down. I looked up slowly and saw the person I did NOT want to see right now.

"Bella." He said. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Edward." I was surprised at how calm and confident I was. It seemed to shock him a little bit more than it shocked me.

"Long time no see." He said in a harsh tone.

"Sure it is. Can you move? You're in my way." I said walking up a couple steps. He didn't move.

"So what you're a slut now? Stay away from Jacob." He said cracking his knuckles.

I let out a sour chuckle, "Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are? If you think you can control who I hang out with, grab yourself. Do yourself a favor, grow up a little and get a life. Looser." I spat pushing him aside.

"You're going to fucking regret the day you talked to me that way!" He yelled after me.

"I'm shaking in my tube socks Edward. SHAKING."

I walked down the hall with a smile on my face. I felt Bella being reborn into something much. . . much more stronger. The girls I admired for being so strong, for not letting a boy effect her, I felt Bella slowly transformed into that. I felt like Jacob triggered that today. If I saw Edward on those stairs two days ago, I'd probably just walk up the stairs while he called me a slut and a whore. Then I'd go home and cry about it. But I can't believe I just told him off like that! I feel like I'm a new person, and I love it.

"Bella!" I heard someone yell. I know that voice, and with a smile on my face I ran over to the person I couldn't wait to see.

Jacob.

It's been a week since we met but I feel like I known him since forever. Today was the day I go with him to La Push to meet the gang and I'm so excited. Jacob has nothing but amazing memories with them. That's what I need. AMAZING memories. Well, more of them anyway. . . NO, Bella! NO, NO, NO, NO! Don't think about any of that bull shit. Keep moving ahead! Remold yourself!

"Ready?" He asked with a smirk. I nodded quickly, eager to get to La Push.

"Wait, do we need to take my car?"

"No. . ." He said, with this big suspicious grin on his face. He walked off and I followed him effortlessly. It's stupid how I can trust this man so easily. I've only known him a short while but. . . I'd trust him with a lot already. Suddenly we turned around the school building and there was the most beautiful hunk metal I think I've ever seen.

"Like it?" He smiled.

"It's beautiful! You rebuilt this?!" I stood there shocked. In front of me was the most beautiful looking motorcycle I think I've ever seen in my whole life. It looked like something from a store, it was red and black, and not a scratch on it.

"Ha, no. The one I built is nothing compared to this. Sam gave it to me for my 17th birthday."

"That's one hell of a present!" I cheered, giving him a high five, "Wait, you're a freshman, how can you be 17 already?"

"I started school too late. Here," He grinned handing me a red helmet, that looked just like the bike. I looked up at him and he smiled, "I just got my license, I don't want it to be taken away from me already."

I smiled and gladly put on the hot helmet. I hope I don't get helmet hair, hell. Who cares right!? IM GOING ON A MOTORCYCLE! Jake jumped on with his sexy self, and started the engine quickly. I was so giddy when I threw my leg over and wrapped my arms around Jacob's firm waist. He played with the gas until suddenly we zoomed off across the school property. I screamed with excitement, and threw one hand in the air. But suddenly I stopped, when I realized someone was standing ahead of us, his eyes dead set on me with anger. A certain someone who I was determined to not let affect me anymore.

Edward Cullen.

His face was serious, as he starred me down from up ahead. The motorcycle was moving so fast, but it seemed like it took forever to get close to him. When we did, I just smiled widely and starred deep into his eyes with pleasure. I wanted him to see that I wasn't going to be the victim anymore. I'm showing him, that I don't need his SORRY ASS to survive.

& nothing infuriated him more.

" I'm a little nervous." I whispered as I got off the bike. Jacob did the same but he looked amused as he starred into my eyes. His chocolate brown eyes were sunk into my brain, they were so beautiful.

"You have no reason to be nervous, Bella. They're going to love you. I promise." He smiled. He held out his hand and I took it without question. I thought about stopping this. I'm falling deeper into this so fast. It's only been a week! But every time I think about staying away from Jacob, my whole entire body feels on edge. I realize that I need Jacob. If I didn't have Jacob. . . I don't want to think about how my life would still be like. So I figured, the hell with it. It's only been a week, but I'm going to let my heart do the walking. Let it go where ever it feels the safest, and right now that's with Jacob.

He led me to his house quickly and introduced me to his dad. The moment he saw me, his whole face lit up.

"Bella Swan?" He questioned. I nodded, I never told him my last name, "I know your father! Man, we go way back! You kids used to make mud pies together! That is, when your mother and father still lived in Forks."

Jacob seemed thrilled, "Are you serious?"

"No Jacob, I made it up." His dad said sarcastically, "I'm Billy." He said holding out his hand. I smiled eagerly and shook it. I don't know why but I was nervous.

"I didn't know you knew Charlie." I smiled.

"Oh yeah, we still talk every now and then. I'm trying to get him down here to visit so I can go fishing with a decent fisherman." He said eyeing Jacob.

"What's that suppose to mean? What, I'm a bad fisherman?" Jacob asked, crossing his arms.

"Jacob, you fell in the water three times our last trip."

"So?!"

I started laughing loudly at their bickering, "You two are fighting like a bunch of woman." I laughed harder. They soon joined me in my little laugh attack there.

"What are you goons laughing at?" A raspy voice said behind us. Jacob and I turned around at the same time to see a tall tanned-skinned guy standing with his hands folded across his chest. He had short hair like Jacob, but his face was more mature-looking. Where Jacob still had that teenager look about him. At first, I was intimidated. But then with him being so large, and so dominate, I knew who it was.

"Sam right?" I questioned with a smile.

"How'd you know?" He asked raising one eyebrow. He looked amused that I guessed right.

"Lucky guess." I cheesed. Then I held out my hand, "I'm Bella."

"Nice to meet you Bella. It's about time you showed up, Jacob has done nothing but annoyed the hell out of me. He talks about you all the time."

I smiled at Jacob, "REALLY?"

Jacob blushed, "Thanks a lot man."

"Anytime. Hey you guys are going to miss the party if you keep goofing off you know."

"Party?" I questioned, eyeing Jacob.

"I didn't tell you? It's Leah's birthday."

"No you didn't tell me! I would have dressed better!" I said hitting his arm. I only had a pair of dark jeans on with a black, wool sweater. Billy and Sam chuckled at our argument.

"You look fine! Look at how horrible Sam is dressed! Compared to his lack of style, you look inhumanly beautiful!" He said trying to keep a straight face. I looked up at Sam and he had an evil look on his face.

"Watch what you say you little mutt." He eyed. Jacob scratched his head and laughed nervously.

"Okay well, look at that time! Let's go!" He said grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the room.

We had to drive a ways to get to Leah's house. It was bigger than I imagined, and I could hear the music from outside. There was a lot of people here. Cars parked everywhere, people hanging around outside. And here I come on this hot motorcycle and this sexy ass guy driving it. Life is good right now. So, so good.

We walked across the lawn, and up to the front door. Jacob smiled at me, before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. The atmosphere inside was very thrilling to me. I've never been to a party before, I mean I went to birthday parties before but never one like this. I was so excited. But then I felt like such a moron for never being to a party with a lot of people, and decent music.

I was overcurious so meet Leah. If she's anything like Jacob described her, she's the type of person I need to hang out with. The funny thing is, there were so many people, I knew there was no way I could find her. The house thankfully was big enough to fit all these people.

"Where's Leah?" I yelled to Jacob. The music was loud, so I hope he heard me.

"Don't worry! We'll see her soon!" He yelled back with a sneer. Like he knew something I didn't and was pleased at my confusion. Jerk face.

"Can I have everyone's attention please!!!" Someone yelled over a microphone. Suddenly the music lowered and everyone was quiet, "Can everyone please go outside, the surprise is about to start!" The guy holding the microphone looked pretty young, but had the same short black hair and tan skin like Sam and Jacob.

"That's Seth, Leah's sister." Jacob said in my ear. I shivered from the hotness of his breath but nodded. People listened to him and walked outside. Basically, everyone was in the driveway. Jacob, still holding my hand, pulled me deeper into the crowd until we were in the front. The garage door was open and now that we were closer I could see a stage in it. Everything was very dark, which I didn't understand right now. Suddenly I started to hear music start, and everyone started screaming and cheering. Drop it Low started playing and the cheers only got louder. I looked up at Jacob and he a huge smile on his face. Suddenly the lights on the garage were dim and you could see three bodies outlines from the dimness. It kept getting lighter and lighter until it was completely lit up. I couldn't really see her or anything because they weren't doing anything. They were standing on one side of the stage, not moving. Then out of nowhere when the beat picks up they start moving their hips and moving onto the stage. The moment they do bright lights shine EVERYWHERE. It was like I was in a club with all the flickering lights. My eyes were on Leah as she moved her hips to the beat.

Without a doubt in my mind, the beautiful woman standing in the middle, was Leah. She was more gorgeous than I thought. She had long black hair, and tan skin like Jake and Seth. She had the same presence as everyone else that lives in La Push.

(For Choreography Video, Link On Profile)

I was in awe at the moves she pulled. I never knew I human being could move that way. Whenever I looked up at Jake he was cheering her on, loud as can be. I was right along with him. She was so. . . bad ass. So strong looking. She looked like she could beat the shit out of you and not think twice about it. I was DETERMINED to befriend her.

Then guys appeared on the stage and the crowd cheered louder. The song transitioned to another song, and the girls walked off while the guys danced and did their own routine. Jake yelled loudly when that happened.

"HELL YEAH!! Jared, Paul, Seth! GO BITCH!" He yelled.

I looked at the guys dancing on the stage and smiled. I didn't know the guys could dance too. I can Transform Ya by Chris Brown came on and then Leah and the girls walked back out. Leah stood in from of the guy in the middle, and danced along with him. I found myself screaming and cheering them on even though I didn't know them. I yelled to them like they were my closest friends.

The whole routine was unbelievable and the whole crowd went wild. When it was finished everything went dark and music kept playing. So naturally people started dancing. I had to get out of there fast, I can NOT dance. I started walking away but Jacob pulled me back.

"Dance with me." He said in my ear. I shivered again from his warm breath. I was so embarrassed about what I had to say..

"I can't dance." I whispered back in his ear. He smiled widely.

"It's okay. There isn't much to it. Just close your eyes." I did as he told me to, "Listen to the song, the beat." I nodded and obeyed. Drop It Low by Easter Dean was on again. It was almost hard for me to get, but I understood what he was saying to me, "Rhythm." He whispered again his hands felt from my stomach, to my thighs. He started to move them, "Move with the beat, let your body do the work. Don't think, just move." He took his hands off my thighs and grabbed my hands. I felt him move in from of me, one hand on my waist he pulled me closer. I did the same. I couldn't believe I was actually dancing. Well, it was mostly grinding, ha. But it was to the beat!

I turned around and grinded against him to the beat, he was dancing along with me to. I bent over and grinded harder, I felt his hand on my back, then slide over to my neck. He pulled me up as I kept up to the beat. Just moving my ass, trying to look good. He grabbed my hands and held them in the air, I felt his breath in my ear and and how he laughed when I grinded against him hard.

"You got it. That wasn't so hard, was it?" He whispered. I didn't respond, I just danced my ass off harder. I turned around and put my hand behind his neck and he smiled like he was enjoying it. The whole time I kept switching around, doing different stuff, moving my body in a way I never thought possible. How could one person loosen me up so much? I felt so loose, not my usual uptight self.

The song soon ended and we walked out of the crowd, and into the house. Everyone was outside, so there was barely anyone inside.

"Leah!" I heard Jacob yell. I looked around eagerly trying to see her. Then I did. She was standing in a corner with some guy, when she say Jacob she smiled and walked over. Wow, she was beautiful. The closer she moved to me the more insecure I felt. She changed her outfit, she had on leather skinny jeans and a blue and black stripped halter top. The type that's flowy on the the top but tight right around the hips. Her long ass curly hair, smoky-eyed make-up, lots of silver jewelry. Needless to say, she was hot.

"Jacob." She smiled.

"That routine was the shit. As usual, kick-ass job." He said pounding her fist. She grinned and then fixed her air jokingly.

"Shiiiit, I know, I know." She joked. We all laughed.

"Leah, this is my good friend Bella." He said.

"Duh, of course I know who she is. You don't shut the hell up about her. Ha, ha. Nice to meet you girl. I saw you on the dance floor. Not bad." She smiled holding out her hand. I grabbed it quickly and shook it.

"Nice to finally meet you." I giggled, "Oh please, compared to you what I did was hideous. But seriously, you did an amazing job."

"Well thanks! Oh Jacob, I like her. She's gorgeous too." She teased. I blushed horribly.

"Are you kidding?" I protested, "Your beautiful."

She smiled, "Thanks. How about this, we both sexy as hell!" She laughed, we all laughed too. She's funny too? Is there anything this girl isn't? "So do you guys want a drink?" She smiled raising one eyebrow.

"Yeah." Jacob nodded. He looked at me.

"Sure I'll have whatever."

"Be right back." She said walking off.

"She's sweet."

"She only seems that way now." He smirked, "So, are you having fun?"

"Um, yeah." I said giggling, "Of course I am. Thanks for bringing me." I said wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Anytime." He whispered wrapping his around my waist. I've never wanted to be with Jacob more than I do right now. Well, I'm already with him but I mean to be with him. Up until right now, I realized that he would be a perfect boyfriend. He's sweet, but can be aggressive and dominate when he wants. It kind of turns me on more than it should.

"Here you go." I heard Leah's voice behind me. I blushed because I was hugging her best friend like we were a couple. I took the drink, it looked so cool. It was in a tall curvy wine glass, and the drink was a bright, bright blue. It had pineapple on the side, which was amazing. I LOVE pineapple.

"What is it?" I asked, just curious.

"It's called a 'Blue Hawaii'." She said, sipping hers. Jacob had a pissed look on his face.

"I don't want this fruity drink Leah." He said handing it to her, "Give me a mans drink!"

She started laughing, "You say that like you're a man." I laughed louder than I should have, "Fine, more for me and Bella. I'll go get you a shot."

S-s-s-s-s-s-shot?!?!?

I took a sip of my drink. I tried not to make my gagging noticeable. Jacob didn't seem to see me. This drink has alcohol in it! But. . . it's so good. I took another sip, it's REALLY good. I tasted pineapple, and coconut and something else that was making my stomach warm. I loved it, basically. Jacob looked down at me.

"Like it?" He asked, wrapping one arm around my waist.

I nodded quickly, "Wanna sip?" I held up the straw near his lips. He nodded, took a quick sip and smacked his lips a bit.

"It's pretty good. Not enough of the good stuff though." He grinned devilishly. Before I could say a smart remark to that, Leah walked back with Jacob's drink. It was a tall glass, and Jacob eyed her.

"What's that?" He asked, "I thought you were giving me a shot."

"No, it's better. Just shut the hell up, and drink the damn drink." She said pushing the drink at him, "Come on girl let me introduce you to people." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me away from Jacob. He just stood there as I laughed and walked away with Leah.

"So, you and Jacob huh?" She smiled. I blushed.

"I guess so." I giggled, and took another sip of my drink.

"Let me tell you, if you could have any guy in the school, Jacob would be your best choice. Were all so excited because he never brought a girl with him anywhere. You're the first one, so everyone is dying to meet you. Hey Seth! Get your ass over here!" She yelled. I already know that Jacob would be the best thing for me, but she just made me realize that even more.

"Hey! Is this her?" He asked running over. He was hotter up close. He had the same black, short hair and tan skin. He was smaller than Jacob, but in a cute way.

"Yep! This is Bella Swan. Bella, meet my pest of a brother, Seth." She introduced. I shook his firm hand and grinned sweetly.

"Nice to meet you." I said.

"Nice to meet you as well, I've heard so much about you."

"Nice, nice. Well we have to move on, many people to see!" She said, pulling me away. The next people we went to was a big group. They all looked like different versions of Jacob. All tall, dark skinned, and muscular.

"Hey guys, guess who this is!" Leah yelled over the music. All of a sudden, all the eyes were on me. I felt insecure, and blushed as a result.

"Is this Bella?!" One of them yelled.

"Yep! Bella, this is Jared, Paul, you met Sam, Embry, and Quil."

"Nice you meet everybody." I said waving a little.

"Man, I didn't think she'd be so hot." Paul smiled, "I just might have to steal her away." He said licking his lips. I rolled my eyes, and they all smiled.

"I don't think so." Leah said holding her hand up, "Jacob already got dat ass!" She joked, everyone cheered and laughed. I was just standing there blushing.

"Don't worry Bella." Embry said putting one arm around me, "We all liked you before we met you, but just because you won't go for Paul, I mean I'm single." He laughed and everyone joined in.

Then everyone was all quiet and looking behind me. I turned around to see Jacob giving them all the evil eye.

"What was that you guys were talking about?" He questioned.

"Jacob, listen buddy." Quil said stepping forward. He put one arm around Jacob and took a deep breath, "I've waited 17 years for this day to come. The day you brought a hot girl to meet us, so let us have our fun. Do you honestly expect us not to burn on you pal? Like how a hot girl like this is too good for you?" Quil smiled. I rolled my eyes again but smiled.

"Mhm, let her have someone who can treat her like a woman." Paul said moving forward to me. Jacob punched his arm.

"You try to treat her to anything and you'll be pushing up daisies, mutt."

Paul started laughing, "See, this is why we HAVE to burn on you! You get jealous so easily!"

"I'm not jealous!" He said, getting in Paul's face.

"Oh is that so?" Paul spat at him.

"Alright guys cut the crap!" Leah said getting in between them and pushing them away, "If you don't stop I'll beat the shit out of both of you! Bella is with Jacob so leave him the hell alone."

Paul stepped away but winked at me. I heard a growl in Jacob's chest, but they all just laughed and continued talking in there circle.

"Jacob, loosen up. There just teasing you." Leah said punching his arm.

"I know when Paul is joking, he wasn't joking."

"Jacob, she likes you, why would she go for a creep like Paul."

I blushed, just standing there. First of all, I'm blushing because I'm flattered. Jacob got jealous, it made me smile on the inside, and secondly, they all said I was hot, which I don't think is the slightest bit true.

They were still arguing but then Leah punched him again and the conversation ended. The party was a hit, we all ended up going outside. We danced the rest of the night away, but around two in the morning the party died down and a lot of people left. By three everyone was gone besides Jacob, Leah, Paul, Sam, and me. By the end of the night I realized that Paul liked Leah. He pretty much did anything she told him too. Maybe I'm over-observant, but I think she likes him too. He is amazingly hot.

Everyone was in the kitchen doing shots, and I was a little tipsy. I had about five blue Hawaii's tonight. That's the first time I ever drank, besides the time Edward and I got into his parents liquor cabinet, but I thought I would be more drunk that I was. I guess I can really hold it down, ha, ha. Well, Jacob and me were in the backyard, because there was a two-seater swing. It was really cute, so we sat on it for a while. I remember how beautiful his face looked in the dim light. It was almost hard to look at him.

"Did you have fun?" Jacob asked.

I nodded, "Best fun I ever had."

He smiled with satisfaction, "I'm glad you did. You know, Leah likes you already, everyone does."

"I know, I like them all too. You have really great friends."

We were quiet for a moment, and then Jacob grabbed my hand. It was so warm, I shivered again.

"Bella, I didn't know you dated Edward Cullen."

I gasped a little, and the hair on my arm stood straight up, "I never dated him."

"Everyone told me that Edward was your boyfriend." He said looking at me.

"Everyone was wrong. He's the furthest thing from my boyfriend."

He grinned, "I'm happy to hear that. The guys an asshole."

"You're telling me? We were best friends since fourth grade. Then one night he tried to try to get with me, I said no, so he completely pushed me out of his life. The dude only wants sex."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I knew the guy was a douche, but I didn't think he was that low."

"Yeah, I'm trying to forget about him, about everything. That's why I'm glad you brought me here, I need to let loose and find new people to distract me."

"You were really hurt about this weren't you?"

"Yeah." I said quietly, "I'm a weak person at heart. That's why I like Leah. She's so strong and confident. I can't do that, though I'm trying to. I'm still so afraid someone is going to hurt me again. I don't think my heart would be able to take another blow like the last one."

Jacob looked me dead in the eyes, I was lost in them. Completely under his trance, "I will never hurt you, Bella." He whispered, and he meant those six words. I could feel it.

"Promise?" I breathed, coming closer to him face. I felt him squeeze my hand a little and tilt his head.

"Promise." Then he gently placed his warm lips on mine.
