I Wouldn't Change A thing Chapter 8

Dear Mags,

Everything that I had about Bella to this point is true. But there is one thing that I had NEVER understood about her. I never understood the reason why she was acting like she hated me. I never understood why she had said that I stole Jake from her.

But when you lose someone you really care about and someone who's your world; you hold on to the next best thing. For Bella, her next best thing is Jake, and she was leaning on him to get over her loss. Sure her boyfriend didn't die, but he left her. Then I came along and took Jake from her as well. Now she has no next best thing.

Mags, I feel for her. Because now I can understand what she's going through. It would be like Jake leaving me all of a sudden. I wouldn't be able to handle it Mags. I wouldn't, because he's very quickly becoming my life.

I feel bad Mags, and I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure that Bella's okay. From now on, I'm not going to criticise her. I'm going to help her.

Forever,

Bailey

I knocked on Bella's door and when she opened it, I saw that she was crying. I walked in and sat down on her bed, waiting for her to say something. When she didn't, I did.

"Let's go cliff diving. It'll be a way to relieve stress and anger." Bella turned to look at me and I expected her to give me a dirty, disgusted look, but instead, she gave me a slight smile.

"You're on." I smiled widely and I grabbed Bella's hand and practically dragged her out the door and towards her truck.

"This is going to be great!"

Jacob's POV

We were hunting Victoria and she was fast like Bella, said, but we were faster. We had caught her scent by Charlie and the 'hunters' who supposed to be catching the 'killer's. Us. But if the only knew...

'Fall back and go deeper into the forest. We're at risk for getting caught.' Sam's alpha voice rang through my head and I like Jared and Sam, were worrying about our imprints safety.

'Relax Jake. Bailey and Bella weren't at her house when we ran by there. They must in Port Angeles or something.' That didn't help me at all. I was still freaking out. What if the leech followed them? What if the leech had been waiting for them? Or what if...The thought of Bailey being bitten and turning into a blood sucking leech, entered my mind, and I growled low and threatening. I caught the scent and my nose burned at the sick-sweet smell. I looked to my brothers and they all had the same thought.

I caught her by Harry and I ran and tackled her. Then she took off running. I followed her along with my brothers. She took a turn and I followed her and the rest of the pack would cut her off. Then she stopped and she turned around to face me. I crouched down low, pinned my ears to the back of my head and let out a low growl.

The stupid leech smirked, and I took off running towards her. She jumped up and missed me and then started running the opposite way. I could hear my brothers running behind me, all of them as sick as her stupid games as I was.

Paul and I were both trying to get to her first, just to get rid of her. I ended up getting pushed up in front of him, and I almost had her. Then she jumped, landed and smirked back at us again.

We kept following her until I caught a scent. Bailey's scent. 'Bailey's near here! Why is she here?' Jared was dumfounded and so was Embry. They both thought that she was no where near here.

'Jacob just focus on the leech. I'm sure she won't go for Bailey, she's after Bella remember?' I nodded and pushed myself to go faster, to try and get her so she WOULDN'T go after Bailey.

I knew we were coming up the cliffs, and I knew that that wouldn't be good. She would probably jump off of them and then we wouldn't be able to catch her. At all.

The leech came up the cliff and she jumped off without hesitation. I snarled and jumped on a cliff just below that one and growled.

'She got away! That stupid...' Paul didn't get to finish his thought because a voice screamed inside my head.

'Jacob! Bailey's gonna jump!' I turned my head and saw Bella in the water, encouraging Bailey to jump. I growled and we all took off towards the cliff trying to get there before she jumped.

-JB-JB-JB-JB-JB-JB-JB-JB-JB-

"BAILEY! COME ON! IT'S SUCH A RUSH!' I looked down at the water and then gulped. I know that I promised to do this with Bella, but this is crazy. 'It's way too high!' I started walking to the edge when a voice in the back of my mind appeared. 'Jake wouldn't want you to do this. It's too dangerous.'

I started to listen to the voice when Bella yelled at me to come down again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and went to jump off the cliff when the voice came back. This time I didn't listen to it. I promised Bella that I would jump and I will keep that promise.

"Bailey! What are you doing? Do you have any idea how high that is? You could hurt yourself!" I jumped back when I saw the...pack standing there. Jake rushed up to me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Why would you even try to jump Bailey?" I looked up at Jake and then tried to look over the edge but Jake pulled me back and put himself in front of me and the cliff. He looked down at me and his amazing brown eyes were filled with worry and protection.

"Well Bella was feeling sorry for herself so I suggested that we go cliff diving. When I said that I meant a smaller cliff and not well...this one. But she dragged me to this one and then she jumped and I WAS going to jump, when..." I stopped myself and blushed a little. I didn't want to tell Jake that the reason I didn't jump was because I knew that he was going to be mad at me...

"What is it? Why didn't you jump?" I sighed and then looked up at him again.

"I didn't jump because a voice in the back of my head said that if I did you'd be mad at me and you wouldn't like it..." My voice trailed off at the end and Jake pulled me into another hug.

"BAILEY! COME ON! JUST ONE JUMP!" Bella screamed from the ocean and I looked up at Jake and gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"Pretty please Jake?" Jake looked down at me and rolled his eyes.

"Fine. But I'm jumping with you, and you're holding onto me and you better not let go." I smiled widely and jumped up and down.

"This is gonna be so much fun!" I heard a laugh behind me and I whipped my head around and glared at Embry. He shut up and slinked away a bit. This made me smile even more.

Jake stood by the edge and he grabbed my hand and held it tightly. I looked down and saw Bella still sitting in the water. She smiled and swam away from us to give us some room. Jake let go off my hand and he wrapped his arm around my waist and held onto my tightly. We counted to three and then we jumped off the edge. I closed my eyes and bit my lip to avoid screaming.

Once we landed in the landed in the water, I ended up getting separated from Jake. I tried kicking myself up to the surface, but it felt like I was caught on something. I ended up getting close to the surface, when a wave crashed on top of me and forced me down. I heard some yelling from the beach, but couldn't make out the voice.

I started to feel my breathing slow down, and I saw black spots. I knew that I saw close to passing out, but before I did. I felt a large, warm hand, grab my arm.

Jacob's POV

I didn't want her to do this, but those puppy dog eyes, and the pout on her pretty lips made me cave. I grabbed her hand at first and then her waist. I wasn't going to take any chances. I counted to three and we jumped off. Bailey was trying not to scream and thankfully she didn't. We wolves have sensitive hearing.

We landed in the water and she got separated from me. I came up and looked around for her and started panicking. She wasn't coming up. Where was she? I dove back under the water and saw her, starting to pass out. I quickly grabbed her and swam to the shore. I put her down and the pack rushed past Bella over to me.

I checked her breathing, before I started doing CPR. I saw no response from her and started panicking.

"Bailey! Bailey! Come on Bailey! Breathe! Breathe Bailey!" I started getting desperate. I didn't know what to do and if I lost her...

"Bailey please!" I suddenly felt a jump and I looked down and saw Bailey with her eyes open, and coughing. I sat her up, just to crush her to me. She started coughing up more water, until she finally stopped. I pushed her away from me and looked her dead in the eye.

"You are NEVER going cliff diving again!" She looked up at me and tears started falling down her face. She nodded and I pulled her into me again. The rest of the pack was watching carefully, not really sure what to do. Bella stood up and she wiped away some tears and then knelt beside me and Bailey.

"I'm sorry Bailey. I didn't think that would happen." Bailey nodded and she put her head against my chest and sniffled a bit.

"Come on, lest get you home and out of these wet clothes." Bailey stood up shakily and then I got up. I pulled her into me and kissed the top of her head.

"That's why we didn't want you to cliff dive Bailey. We didn't want you to get hurt." Jared told her gently. They all cared about Bailey. A lot. They all considered her to be like a sister to them. Sam considered her his own daughter. Even though he hadn't told her yet...

"I'll be over at Emily's later tonight." I told the guys and they nodded and walked into the trees.

"I'm going to walk home. You guys obviously need to talk so..." Bella nodded at Jake and she turned around and walked the other way. Jake hopped into Bella's truck and I followed. Once we were sitting there, Jake took deep breaths and turned to look at me.

"I almost lost you Bailey. I almost lost you. I was so worried. Bailey...if I would've lost you...if you would've ever left me..." Jake sounded so angry and upset. It was killing me. I had only wanted to help Bella, not get into crap from Jake. I didn't say anything, I just started shivering. I rubbed my hands together trying to get them warm but it wasn't working.

"I'm 108 degrees over here." As soon as Jake said that, I moved over and rested my head on his chest and breathed deeply. I was so cold...

"You never get cold huh?" Jake smiled down at me and then he pulled off to the side of the road. I looked up at him and he looked down at me intensely.

"Bailey I really don't think you know just how much you mean to me. If you ever left me, I would NEVER be able to survive. YOU are my LIFE." I blushed and sniffled from being cold. Jake pulled me completely into his lap and kissed my neck lightly.

"You're so beautiful." I blushed again when he took in a deep breath.

"Vanilla. You smell like vanilla. I love it." I giggled and turned my head and looked into his intense brown eyes.

"Jake? Will you kiss me?" Jake didn't even need to answer. He pressed his lips to mine and pulled me as close as I would come. He wrapped his arms around me and held me there, with no sign of letting me go. Jake eventually let me go and put his chin on my head.

"I love you Bailey. I don't care if it's too early to say it, or if you even want me to say it. I had to tell you. I loved you from the moment I imprinted on you. Even if I hadn't imprinted on you, I'd still love you. You're just so...beautiful, and perfect." I blushed and looked down at my lap and sniffled. This time not from being cold but from crying.

"Bailey what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" I shook my head and looked back up at Jake.

"I'm crying because I love you and you always say the sweetest things." Jake smiled and kissed my lips before setting me down beside him. 'I love him. I am in love with Jacob Black and there is absolutely no denying it.'
