I have updated! Already! I got inspired...so basically, this is Jake's POV of the club scene. Hope you like it. This song is one of my fave's by the way. I'll try to update when I can.

If I was the one who was loving you, baby

The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy

And if I was by your side

You'd never know one lonely night

[If I Was the One – Ruff Endz]

Embry, Quil and Paul had decided I need to get laid. So, naturally, we were at a club. I don't know why they thought it would work. I mean, I'm a virgin. Did they think I was just going to get confidence and hook up with a girl? Plus, I don't want to. I am in love with Bella. They don't know that, however, and I am not about to tell them. So, I had to give in.

Paul, being the only one legal drinking age, had bought us all beers. Well, we had to pay him for them, but still it was a nice gesture.

"Dude! What about that blond? She looks fuckable. I'd like to -"

"Paul, we are all pretty aware of what you'd like to do to her," Quil commented before Paul could get into further detail. Thank God.

"This isn't about us. It's about Jakey-boy. He just turned twenty. He needs to lose it," my best friend said.

I wanted to kill Embry.

"The only reason you are not looking for a babe for yourself, Call, is because you are so pussy-whipped by Leah. And she's not even your girlfriend," Paul interjected.

Just then we were all caught off guard by two girls grinding on each other on the dance floor. It looked like every guy was in the same position as we were in. Probably all hard like I was when I realized Bella was one of the girls. She locked eyes with me and I couldn't stop staring with me if I wanted to.

"Holy shit, Em, that's Leah!" Quil said in awe.

"Yeah, Leah with Bella Swan!" Embry replied.

"Fuck, Bella is making out with Leah. Fuck, I want them both in my beds tonight," Paul said, to no one in particular.

"Dude, Jake, she isn't taking her eyes off of you."

I had realized this. I had also taken note of Paul's comment and wanted to beat the shit out of him. And that's not normally like me.

Bella and Leah had laughed it off and I finally turned back to my friends. They were all amazed at the scene we had just witnessed. Sure, we had seen girls making out in clubs before, but not girls we knew.

"Uh-oh. Looks like Bella has been naughty and her boyfriend is not happy," Paul said as he pointed out the new scene unfolding. Edward had a hold of Bella, very roughly, and I was not happy.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was rushing over to them. How in the hell was I going to get him to leave her in the club? Apparently my mind stopped working and my heart decided it was his turn.

"Let her go," I said with as much confidence as I could muster.

"She's going home with me and you need to mind your own business," the asshole of a boyfriend said to me.

"When I see a lady getting treated that way, it is my business," I had always been taught to protect and stand up for women. I wasn't about to let my father down now. Especially when it concerned the woman who had my heart on a string. Even though she didn't know it.

A that moment Bella turned and a look of realization and recognition passed over her face. Maybe she did know me after all. My heart swelled up and I knew if I had to, I would fight Edward for her. Physically as well as emotionally.

"Look, she came here with her friends and they are going to be pretty freaked if she just dissapears."

"You mean her whore friends? Why aren't they over here anyway? How come you, a complete stranger, is making sure she's okay instead of her supposed friends? They aren't good for her. In fact, they are trash."

This pissed me off. Leah and I had grown up together. If he thought her trash, he would consider me the same.

"She just got drunk. It happens. She twenty years old, let her be."

"How do you know how old she is? Are you a stalker?"

"I am in a class with her. Let me just escort her back to her friends if you think they are trash. And she will probably call you tomorrow and grovel for you to take her back.

"She better."

"You don't deserve her, do you know that?"

"You must mean she does not deserve me."

"No, I think I got it right the first time.

"Whatever, I don't need a slut like her anyway."

I was beyond fuming now but Edward didn't give me a chance to act on it. He turned and stalked out of the club. I knew it wasn't over between us, but I had to get Bella back to her friends.

"Are you alright?" I asked her as I put my arm around her.

"Oh...yeah...thanks by the way," she replied back, seeming kind of hazy.

"Anytime."

"Do I know you?"

I couldn't help but sighing at this. Of course she didn't recognize me. She was drunk. She would probably not even remember me rescuing her from her abusive-like boyfriend.

"Of course not. Let me take you back to your friends."

"You know...you are really hott."

Holy hell. Bella Swan just called me hott. I know I am blushing. I could feel it and she probably knew it too. I couldn't help it. It was like a dream come true.

"Thanks. You are not so bad yourself?"

"Psh...whatever. You think I'm hott. Especially when I kiss Leah."

She was right. And I was right in thinking she was looking at me. She was so fucking hott when making out with Leah. I could just imagine a three-some...and here comes Little Big Jake.

All I could do was laugh as I directed her to where her friends were sitting.

"That was quite a show. Well, here are your friends. Goodbye, Bella."

I walked away cringing. I had said her name and before I acted like we knew each other. I made a mistake and I hope it wouldn't come back to bite me.

I walked back over to my friends and Paul had not one, but two girls in his lap. They were taking turns making out with him. It was an awkward situation to be in. Embry and Quil looked equally awkward.

"Dude, we saw what you did. That was awesome. You so could have scored with Bella. What happened?" Paul said as he came up for air.

"She's drunk and her boyfriend's an ass. I'm not taking advantage of her."

"Whatever dude, you are lame," he said before going back in.

Was I lame? Maybe, but I wasn't going to do that. I wanted her to want me because of who I was. Because of what I could bring into a relationship.

I knew Edward was sort of condescending when it came to Bella. He treated her like a child and would flirt with some random girl. I always saw them together in the music building. I had heard Leah and another girl talking about how he made her cry sometimes.

All I know is if I had her, I would rather die than make her cry. I would go to the ends of the Earth if she wanted me too. I would happily cut off my ear if it would make her smile. She was beyond beautiful and if I had her, I would spend the rest of my life making her happy.

Review? How did y'all like sweet Jake? How about my shy Jake turning into a protector? :)
