Chapter 2

Anything For Her

Jacob's POV

I ran through the trees. Anger was taking over every single part of me. I was angry at her, at that fucking bloodsucker, at me for handing her that damn phone. I should've been stronger. I should've stayed with her. What if she needed me? What if she was broken down again thanks to him? All kinds of thoughts assaulted my head. I knew what hearing his name did to her I could only imagine what this phone call would do to her now, now of all days, now that I was the closest to her, now that she might have accepted a little more from me. I should have never let her out the truck to begin with. I bet it's that entire bloodsucker-she's fault. She came and ruined everything. How could she be so happy to see her after everything they put her through? Doesn't she have any love for herself?

My head was still in an endless pool of thoughts when I phased back. I was home. All I wanted to do was rush right back to her side. Instead I forced myself to stay here. I settled for one phone call. I quickly pulled out my cell and dialed her number. It rang forever resulting in voicemail. Losing an inner battle with myself I gave in and dialed for a second time. Voicemail. I dialed a third time. Voicemail. I was going crazy so I headed over to the Clearwater's home to help out with what was needed.

Charlie and my dad were both with Sue in the small kitchen table. Leah and Seth were sitting on the couch. Elders from the tribe and members from the pack were scattered all over the house making it seem even smaller than it was. Seth immediately spotted me and walked towards me.

"Hey can we get out of here?" he begged me sounding more composed than I would expect after recent events.

"Sure." I said as I followed him out the house. Once outside I was unsure what to say to him. We walked in silence towards cliffs at the beach.

"Thanks" he spoke once we got there. "You're the only one who hasn't apologized."

"Umm you're welcome?" I responded a bit confused.

"Don't get me wrong it's just a bit stupid if you ask me to apologize. People make it sound like it's their fault and it really isn't"

"Yeah, I guess people just don't know what else to say" I had no idea what to say.

"It doesn't matter what they say," he looked at me pain evident in his eyes. "This all feels like a nightmare from which I'll wake up any second. It just doesn't feel real. Leah's taking it the worst. She won't show it but I can tell." He was looking at the ground and kicking a small rock around. "I kinda wish people would just leave. They're like a constant reminder that he's gone."

"You could hang out at my place." I offered. "I doubt people would look for you there."

"Na, they'd find me and haul me over for more apologies and hugs" he said walking back the way we came from. "I have to get back before Leah freaks and starts looking for me." I began following him but he stopped me saying he'd rather walk back alone.

I was left to my own thoughts again. I felt terrible. In the middle of all that was going on my mind was still on Bella. I took my cell out again and dialed her number like crazy over and over. I left her a million messages and texts apologizing but she never answered nor call back. I began threatening to come over if she didn't answer me and still nothing. This girl was driving me insane.

I went home and attempted to sleep. Instead I was haunted with thoughts of her. Thoughts of our almost kiss, her lips, so close to mine. By 11:00pm I gave up. I had to see her. I had to know she was okay. I took a quick shower, changed, and ran over to her house.

As soon as I got there the stench of vampire assaulted me. I knew should had investigated it, but my mind was on getting to Bella. Instead of knocking on the door like a normal human being I jumped through her window. That way if she kicked me out she had a longer way to go. I thought smiling at my cleverness. I stepped into her room enjoying the smell of her. She wasn't there. I listened wondering where she could be. I then heard water running and her little footsteps as I imagine she was stepping into the shower.

Immediately images of her assaulted me. Her beautiful body NAKED in the shower, glistening from the water drops slowly falling over every part of her NAKED body. Those images quickly turned into movies in my head. Me walking in while she was in the shower, she would gasp and attempt to cover herself but her body would betray her. I would smell her arousal, and know she wanted me as bad as I wanted her. I would then step into the shower with her and slowly kiss her. She would refuse to give in at first but her desire would win out. Before I could go any further I snapped myself out of it. What was wrong with me? This is the girl that I love. I would kill anyone having such thoughts of her. I was still fighting my own thoughts when I heard her gasp. I looked up at the doorway where she was standing. She was beautiful. Her eyes were frozen on me. My stomach was immediately taken over by millions of butterflies or whatever you call them. I could hear her heart beating crazy, or maybe it was my own. I couldn't help but to smile at her. She was indeed beautiful. The need to hold her overpowered all my senses and I walked to her taking her in my arms resolute to never ever let her go.

"Bella" I said loving the sound of her name.

"Jake I'm sorry…" her beautiful voice brought me back to reality.

"Shh I'm just glad you're not mad at me." I interrupted knowing what she had to say about her conversation with Edward was the last thing I wanted to hear from her. Instantly the anger I felt earlier came back but the moment I looked into her eyes I knew nothing mattered to me but her. I reached for a strand of her hair that was covering her eyes. "I know I acted like a jerk earlier and I'm the one that's sorry Bella. I, you know I," I looked down unsure of how to express how I felt. "You know I'm with you no matter what happens." I said hoping she would understand I would never give up on her.

She then pressed herself against me confusing me. I tried to pull away to question her but her arms reached and held on to me like if I was her life source. I could've stayed this way with her forever, but her body pressed so closed to my body was clouding my judgment. I pulled away just a bit so I could look her in the eyes and try to make sense of her. Her reaction confused me even further. She stared right back at me, biting her lower lip. She had no idea what that did to me.

Bella's POV

I headed to my room and froze at the door way. I was attempting to catch my breath as my heart went crazy on me with a wild amount of flutters and flips. Jacob was sitting on my bed half naked like always. He was staring at me with his beautiful smile. I couldn't help but to smile back at him. Dumbfounded, I stood there, and whispered his name as I watched him walk over to me. He hugged me keeping me in his arms.

"Bella." He simply said. He held me as if he hadn't in years.

"Jake I'm sorry…" I started but he interrupted

"Shh I'm just glad you're not mad at me." He said as he looked deeply into my eyes and brushed my hair away from my face. "I know I acted like a jerk earlier and I'm the one that's sorry Bella. I, you know I," he hesitated and looked down, "You know I'm with you no matter what happens." He looked up at to me seeking a response from me.

I had absolutely no idea what he was going on about. I was too happy seeing him to even care. With his arms still around me, I leaned back into his body enjoying his warmth. I felt like the world was right again and I was finally able to breathe. Jacob started pulling away from me but I wasn't ready to let go. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held tightly. When had Jacob become so necessary to me? I wondered. He held me in his arms for a few seconds longer and then pulled away enough to look me in the eyes. The way he looked at me took me back to the earlier reminding me of the weird phone call.

"Who called earlier?" I asked. Instantly I felt him stiffen up. He let go of me abruptly. Immediately, I missed his warmth.

"Didn't you talk to…" he hesitated and turned away from me.

"Talk to whom?" I questioned him confusion setting in again.

"Bella…" He started again. He turned to look at me, his eyes cautious. "Sit down." He instructed motioning to my bed.

I walked backwards until I reached my bed and sat down. He followed and kneeled in front of me taking my hands in his. Worry lines wrinkled his forehead. His lips were locked shut in a straight line. His eyes were cold and sad. Something was very wrong and millions of terrible scenarios began playing in my head.

"You have no idea who called?" he asked, although it sounded more like a statement. I shook my head forgetting how to speak. "It was… Bella, it was… Him…"

For a second I didn't quite understand who he meant. Then realization hit me. I knew there was only one him that could get him acting so weird towards me. I didn't want to believe Jake. There had to be a mistake. He had to be meaning some other him, anyone but that particular him. Resisting believing him, I questioned Jake again.

"What him?" I knew I shouldn't make Jake say it. I knew I would regret hearing that name. But mostly I knew I would not believe it until Jake said it.

"Edward." He said, reluctantly. I winced. My world shifted. This was too much for me. He, him, Edward… He called.

"He hanged up." I whispered as I felt tears stinging my eyes.

"Bells, don't cry please honey." He reached for me and held me "I thought you knew it was him. Actually I thought…" he stopped considering his words, "never mind what I thought just please calm down honey." He scooped me up and sat down on my bed with me in his arms.

"I don't understand" I wondered out loud "why would he call and not even speak to me?"

"I don't know honey" He said helplessly.

"Oh Jake" I said as I looked at his devastated face. "I'm okay" I smiled through my tears trying to make him happy again. "At least, I'll be okay." I was mostly trying to convince myself. "I'm just confused by everything." I reached up to touch his face and looked deep into his eyes. I was stunned at my own reaction. Here I was still breaking down over Ed… err, him… and my heart took the time to speed up for Jake just because he looked right back into my eyes. My mind fogged up and I forgot everything that was going on. The moment felt so much like earlier when I was sure he would kiss me. He got closer to me and I stopped breathing. Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. Before I could even blink Jake left me and was out the window.

I sat on my bed confused for a few seconds. I looked towards the window and saw Jakes shorts on the floor. I was heading to pick them up when Jake flew right back in, in normal human form, and picked them up holding them in front of him. My hand automatically flew to my heart which was still going at a 100 per minute.

"Bloodsucker" he spat out, as if that explained everything that was wrong in the world.

"Victoria?" I asked my voice trembling.

"No, it's another one." He was talking using Sam's voice. "I don't recognize who it is."

I finally turned around allowing him to put his shorts back on. I walked back to my bed and sat down lost in thought.

"Honey, I'm just gonna go and let the pack know what's going on." He said as he sat next to me. "Is the bloodsucker she still here?"

"No, Alice said she would be back, but she didn't say when." I said my voice still trembling. "Jake, don't go please. I don't want to be alone." I pleaded as I wrapped my arms around his neck hoping he would stay here with me.

"Bella," He said sounding torn between decisions while gently removing my arms from around him. "Let me just go and let Sam know what's going on and I'll be right back. I promise."

"You can always just call him" I said handing him my phone.

He stared at my phone and smiled as he took it in his hand. "Sam, send the pack out, I caught sent of a new trail outside Bella's house." His voice was all serious and businesslike.

I could hear Sam's voice but I couldn't make out what he was saying. Jake's constant "uh huh's" and "yeah's" were absolutely no help either. Finally after a few minutes Jake handed me phone.

"Looks like you're stuck with me for the night." He said as he settled in my bed and laid down putting his arms behind his head.

I couldn't help but to smile as I moved up next to him and rested my head on his chest. His arm wrapped around me holding me tight. The day's events were way too much for me to handle at this moment. Instead I just listened, concentrating on Jacob's heartbeat. It was beautiful. It was a new feeling for me but definitely something I could get used to. Suddenly my mind was somewhere else. A different happy life with Jake was appearing before my eyes. A small but beautiful home made with love, Jakes arms surrounding me and pulling me close to him, Jakes lips overpowering mine, Jakes hands everywhere at once, Jakes body pressed closed to mine, the most wonderful sensations building up inside me. I opened my eyes and it was all gone. It was dark. The only light was coming from the alarm clock on the night stand which read 5:00am. Jakes hand was wrapped gently around me. I felt… confused.
