Jacob POV

Why am I here? I should already be halfway to Port Angeles by now.

To be honest, I really was just moping around because my friends ditched me for some girls that they were dating in school. Quil and Embry were supposed to tag along with me to Port Angeles, so we could get some parts for my car that I was working on, but they cancelled on me at the last minute.

Sighing, I stood up straight after leaning from my old Chevy truck. My dad used to drive this before an accident caused him to be in a wheelchair. It had sentimental value but the thing's gotta go. It was too slow for me and I didn't think the truck's gonna last any longer. Maybe I can get enough from selling this thing so I could buy the parts that I needed to fix my Volkswagen Rabbit.

I was about to get in the truck when I remembered Quil's words earlier at school.

"C'mon Jacob, have some fun!"

"Fixing my car is my idea of fun." I pointed out. "Yeah, Yeah, we're not talking about tinkering with your toys" Embry joined in as he looked in the direction of some girls that we're coming out of the cafeteria.

Quil nudged him at the side and they went over to the girls to ask them out. I saw the girls giggle at something they said, and I couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought we were going to Port Angeles?!" I called to them.

"We are! We won't be long! Meet you at First Beach at Two!" Quil waived and I knew then, that was the last I'm going to see them today.

But I still came here anyway. I inhaled a lungful and smiled to myself. "Oh well, might as well get it over with."

I was about to get back in the car when I saw something flash in my peripheral vision. I looked around to see if anyone was there, but the beach was empty.

I looked up at the sky and there it was again. I scanned the area and my eyes traveled to the top of the cliff where we usually go cliff diving and there it was. Someone was up there, I didn't know who it was, but I didn't think it was someone from the reservation.

I jogged closer and I could faintly make out a figure of a woman standing dangerously close to the edge of the cliff and seeing that she was fully dressed, I didn't think she was up for some recreational cliff diving.

I ran as fast as I could until I reached the base of the cliff and started to walk my way up. When I reached the top, I saw a woman in her jeans and hoodie. Her hair that was up to her shoulders were swaying with the strong wind. My heart jumped. With her built, I was actually afraid that the wind would blow her away but she stood firmly at the edge of the cliff, not moving, except for her hand that was flipping some kind of watch. That must have been what caused the flash that I saw earlier.

I was hesitant to approach. Was she trying to jump off the cliff? If so, my approach might scare her, and she might make a misstep and fall to her death.

"The view here is really nice." The woman suddenly spoke, and I was surprised that she knew I was there. She turned towards me and I almost felt my heart pop out of my chest. She was beautiful. Her brown eyes were mesmerizing, and she didn't even make an effort to mesmerize me.

"It is" I answered. I wasn't sure if I was referring to the view or to her. I hope she didn't notice that. Get a grip of yourself Jacob! Be cool… I tried to tell myself. Geez Is this how it feels to like someone?

She smiled at me but there was something in her eyes that I couldn't distinguish. Was it sadness? I tried to clear my head. I need to deal with the matter at hand. What was she doing here? Was she trying to kill herself?

"The water's really cold at this time of year." I made small talk. Maybe I can distract her enough to keep her away from the edge. She placed the watch in her pocket and sighed.

"I guess so. You come here often?" She asked curiously. "Sometimes, me and my friends would usually go cliff diving when we're up for it" I smiled fondly. I slowly walked towards her when she started walking just inches from the edge. My hands instinctively reached for her.

"Whoah Careful!" I almost shouted but she never lost her balance. Instead she looked at me and she must have seen the panic in my face that she decided to move away. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew. You almost gave me a heart attack!" She smiled warmly this time. "Sorry about that. You thought I was trying to jump?" She casually asked, and I didn't know how to respond. I just nodded.

"Don't worry. I was just thinking… worrying actually."

"About what?" Curiosity got the better of me.

"Nothing, don't mind me." She laughed but how could I ignore her?

"Are you from town?" Her pale complexion clearly shows that she was not from the reservation and I would know. The population here was so small that I probably knew all the girls who lived here.

"In a way" She didn't go into details. She saw a log lying nearby and went over to sit on it. There was an empty space beside her and I tentatively walked over to where she was sitting. Might as well try my luck. If she didn't like me hanging around, I could always leave. She didn't protest with me close to her, so I sat down beside her making sure that there was still a small space between us.

"So…" I moved my body, so I could face her. "You here for vacation?" It was a few seconds before she answered. "I'm not sure yet."

"Why so?" I asked then quickly added. "I don't mean to pry of course but it looked like you needed someone you can talk to and since I'm here…" I let my sentence hang. She really didn't have to tell me anything. After all, I was still just a stranger. But deep inside, I really wanted to know more about her.

The look on her face showed that she was contemplating if she was going to share or not and I heard her sigh.

"Well, my… boyfriend…" I felt my hope crumble into pieces. Damn! Why Did I have to ask?!

"My boyfriend and his family, they're kind of in trouble because of me…"

"What kind of trouble?" I asked intrigued. So much for infatuation but this girl needs someone to talk to. Maybe we can be friends? I would definitely want to be her friend.

"I had to leave so they won't be involved. I won't be able to forgive myself if something happens to them… if something happens… to him…" I saw the pain in her eyes and I can see that she loves this guy and his family deeply. Lucky Guy!

"So, are you running away from the mafia?" I teased, trying to lighten up the mood. That made her giggle and the sound was music to my ears.

"Nah, nothing like that... its complicated" It was clear that she was not going to tell me the reason so I didn't press any further.

"Is your… boyfriend… from here?" I asked. Someone I know perhaps?

"He lives just outside of town. I'm not sure if you know them though" She left it at that.

"What are you planning to do?" I changed the subject. She thought for a moment while looking at the horizon.

"There's something that I need to take care off…alone… but first I need to find a way to get out of town… probably go to Port Angeles or somewhere else" Well, what do you know!

"You're in luck! I'm actually off to Port Angeles today. I just need to go to town to sell my old truck then I'm going to Port Angeles to buy some stuff. You're welcome to join me if you want. Well, we'll have to ride a bus to Port Angeles since I still don't have a license." I grinned sheepishly.

"Oh…I don't want to be a burden"

"No, no, no… I insist and besides, I'll have someone I can talk to" It might be an opportunity for me to get to know her more. She thought about my offer.

"Are there usually a lot of people in the bus at this time?" She asked. "I think so, yeah"

She looked like she already decided so I stood up and she followed.

"Let's go down to my truck. I'll give you a ride." Oh! I forgot to introduce myself… Just smooth Jacob…

"By the way, the name's Jacob Black. But you can call me Jake if you want." I reached out my hand. She looked at me with surprise like the name was familiar, but she didn't say anything.

"My name is Isabella Swan, but I prefer, Bella." She accepted my hand in a surprisingly firm handshake.

"Bella…" I smiled. We walked together to where my car was waiting and realized something when we reached the bottom.

"Hey, how'd you get here anyway? I don't see any vehicle nearby."

"I ran here" She replied casually before walking past me. She is one weird girl.

A/N: Oooh, my chapters are starting to be longer and longer. XD I'm not sure if I was able to get Jacob's POV close to the books though but I did what I could hehehe.

Yey! We're going back to Edward's head on the next chapter! I really hope I can pull this off. The fight scene looked cool in my imagination. I don't know how it's gonna look like in writing though. Nyhahahah

Thank you all for your kind reviews!
