Chapter 1
I was just getting things cleaned up from supper when the phone rang. "Hello" I asked picking it up first ring. "Hey Bella" Jacob said with excitement. "Hey Jake what's up" I asked. "Well since I'm not patrolling tomorrow I was wondering if you wanted to hang out" he asked full of hope. "Sure I would love too" I said happily. "I'll pick you up about three." "Sounds good to me talk to you later Jake" I said before hanging up the phone. I smiled to myself wondering how much luck I've been having. After Edward left everything just went bad. I thought I would never feel happy again. After I met Jacob things started to get better, even when I found out he was a werewolf nothing has ever changed between us. I'm glad I have a friend like him helping me get through things.
"Dad I'm going to be hanging out with Jake tomorrow" I said as I started heading upstairs. "Good for you kid stay out as long as you want" he said happily. I chuckled silently to myself as I headed up to my room. Once in my room I took my cell phone out and saw a text message from Jake. It read Bella change of plans I'll be picking you up about Noon. I chuckled to myself because I just finished talking to him not even 5 minutes ago. I clicked reply and started to text him back. That's fine Jacob I'll see you at noon then. After I sent my reply I shut my phone off and decided to go to bed early.
When I woke up in the morning I realized it was eleven thirty. "Damn it" I murmured to myself as I hurried out of bed. I took about a 10 minute shower then I hurried up and comb my hair without blow drying it. I quickly made it down the stairs surprisingly not tripping on my way down to get a quick bowl of cereal. I heard Jacob's car coming as I was finishing cleaning my dishes. I opened the door before he could even knock. "Hey Bella how are you today" he asked as he pulled me into a big bear hug. "Great how about you" I asked as soon as he let go of me. He shrugged and said "Fine so you ready to go." I nodded and said "Let me blow dry my hair real quick." "Hurry up" he said urgently. I rolled because of how impatient he is.
Once we got to La push we decided to walk around the beach for a little bite. "So Jacob how you been doing you seem pretty tired" I asked as I threw a rock into the water. Jacob shrugged and said "I've been good just a little tired because of Patrol shifts." I sighed and said "Maybe you should get home and get some sleep." Jacob shook his head and said "Bella I rather be hanging out with you than sleeping." I smiled at him, but didn't say nothing else. After a few minutes of walking in silence Jacob broke the silence. "So Bella how have you been you seem restless as well." I bite my lip and said "Haven't been sleeping very well." Jacob gave me a confused expression. I sighed and said "Nightmares don't worry about it." Jacob then smiled and said "I think I might have something that could help with that." "What" I asked curiously. Jacob stopped and searched through his bag for a minute before pulling an object out of it. "Here it's a dream catcher it's suppose to stop nightmares and bring you good dreams" he said while giving it to me. "Does it work" I asked skeptical as I looked at it. Jacob shrugged and said "Who knows but I figured it might help you with your nightmares at least a little." "Thank you Jacob for everything" I said sheepishly. Jacob chuckled and said "It's no problem Bella I would do anything for you."
We walked around the beach for hours just talking and playing around. After a while we decided to go back to his place and grabbed something to eat. "So Jacob any news about Victoria" I asked as we were sitting on his front porch. He shook his head and said "No haven't come across her scent yet." "Oh" was all I could say to him. Jacob sighed and said "Don't worry Bella we'll protect you from her we'll fix the mess that your bloodsucker left behind." The hole in my chest widened at the mention at Edward. "Jacob it's not his fault that Victoria's after me it's mine" I said trying to hold back tears. Jacob looked bewildered and said "Bella how could you say it's not his fault after everything's his done to you and your blaming yourself Bella that jerk left you and said he didn't care about you." I sighed and said "I know Jacob, but if it hadn't been for me then they probably wouldn't have left in the first place." Before I knew it Jake jumped off the front porch and onto the yard and started throwing stuff. I ran up to him and said in a calm voice "Jake calm down." He laughed manically and said "How can I calm down when your standing here defending that bloodsucker after everything he did to you." Then before I knew it a reddish brown wolf replaced Jacob and immediately pounced on me. "AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" I screamed as his claws got a hold of my face and slashed it. "AGGGGGGGGGGGGG" I continued to scream and cry in agony. Before I knew it Jacob was off of me and I suddenly fell into darkness.
The next thing I was aware of was beeping noises from all around me. I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital. "Oh Bella" I heard someone scream in relief. I looked up and saw my dad coming over and giving me a hug. "D-Dad" I was able to say without much trouble. He sighed and said "Thank god your alright you had me scared their for a while. "W-What happened" I asked trying to remember what happened before I passed out. "Don't you remember Jacob said you guys went hiking and he went back to get some water bottles and by the time he got back he saw you getting attack by a bear." I stared at him confused because that's not the way I remember it. "Where's Jacob I need to talk to him" I asked urgently. "He's right outside I'll go get him" my dad said very relieved. Just a few minutes after my dad left Jacob came in with guilt written all over his face. I took a deep breathe which hurt my face. "Ow" I complained as I realized how much it hurts to even talk. "Bella you ok" Jacob asked worriedly. I nodded and said "yea but why does my face hurt." Jacob bite his lip like he knew something I didn't know. Jacob sighed and asked "Bella how much do you remember before you passed out?" "I remember everything, but what was my dad talking about." Jacob took a deep breathe and said "that's the cover story we can't tell people you were attack by a wolf it would be too suspicious and your injury looks identical to Emily's so it would more believable that you were attack by a bear. "What injury" I asked almost chocking. "Bella you don't want to see it" Jacob warned me. "Show me" I demanded. Jacob shook his head and went to bring a mirror over to me. "Oh my god" I cried out as I saw my entire right side of my face having three long scars going down into my neck. "What did you do to me" I cried out. By this time Jacob was crying to and kept saying "Bella please forgive me I didn't know what in the hell I was thinking please forgive me." I couldn't look at him or me because now I was hideous and no one would ever want me.
