Jacob ran in his human form down the street, and like always, he was only wearing his shorts. It was a chilly day, to humans at least. Jacob was fine with his body temperature at 108.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Even without a shirt, he was just as comfortable as if he were running across a sunny, warm beach. Jacob's hair poked out in every direction in messy knots, but he didn't care about his hairstyle at the moment. All that mattered was that he needed to see... if it was true.
Seth had given him the news yesterday. Bella wouldn't become a vampire because of the young vampire who was living in the Cullen's homes. And by young, he means young. The vampire Bree was only 15, one of the youngest of the newborn army they'd battled months ago. Carlisle had said that it would be too dangerous for two newborns to be living (kind of) under the one roof, so Bella's mortality would be extended for a few years.
It was a huge risk for Jake to come here. If it wasn't true... if it was all made up by some prick... then he'd be shattered again and wouldn't come back for anything. It had taken a lot for him to finally phase back to his human form, and it felt so strange after the long months as a wolf. For this dangerous trek to end badly and discover that it was false... it would damage Jacob beyond repair. He sucked it all up, blocking it from his thoughts, and saw the Swan house in view.
Jacob scanned the Swan front yard for the faded red truck, but all he saw was Charlie's police car and a bright blue mini that he'd never seen before. Where was her truck? Where was Bella? Who owned this mysterious blue car? Jacob was sick of all the questions that he didn't have answers to, so he sprinted to the Swan house door and knocked frantically. There was no sickeningly sweet vampire scent around, so that meant Bella was still human, for now. There was a dull, faded and more concentrated vampire odour, but Jacob didn't recognise it. Had that newborn Bree been here? Did she own the car? He knocked on the door again, starting to panic because he hadn't got an answer yet. There had been a vampire here in the past few days, and a strange new car... what did it mean?

Bella sighed from the lounge room when she heard a knock on the door. Edward was out hunting with his brothers for the weekend so she was alone with nothing to do and it ruled him out as her visitor. She got up and slowly made her way to the door, guessing that it was Alice to capture her for wedding planning or tourture.
She frowned when the knocking increased, calling out at a normal human level "Alice, I'm comming, theres no need to break down the door, and I'm not going to have a makeover" not wanting to call out loud incase it wasn't Alice and she embarressed herself.
When she opened the door, her face lit up to see Jacob, and as soon as she opened the door, her arms flew around Jacob, tears running down her face, so glad to see him. "JACOB!" she exclaimed, refusing to let go of him "You're back!"

Jacob was nearly caught by surprise when Bella hugged him and started crying. It took him a few seconds to respond, but he hugged her back. It still felt too good to be true, that she was alive and well in front of him. He hugged her tighter, but was careful to not hug her too tightly. He tried to ignore the vampire stench all around her, and he realised that the faded vampire smell was just her from hanging out with the Cullens too much. Aside from the stench, she smelt good like always. Jacob patted Bella's hair down that had started to go all over the place, and released her from the hug.
Jacob looked her over, almost surprised to see that nothing had changed since he'd seen her last. Well, almost everything. Her right arm was covered in a bandage, and Jacob sighed. She was still clumsy Bella.
"I see you've tripped over your own two feet again," Jacob smiled warmly, the scary thoughts of her mortality thrown out the window. His smile grew wider, knowing that she'd have some smart ass thing to say about it.

Bella winced when Jacob tightened his hug around her, though she tried to make sure that he didn't see, her ribs aching and screaming in protest to her under Jacob's hug, her head screaming at her to stop, having been avoiding hugging Edward because it made her ribs hurt, and here she was hugging Jacob.
"Uh, yeah, let's go with that" Bella said when Jacob teased her, thinking that she had tripped over her own two feet, not wanting to lie to him, pulling him into the house and closing the door behind him. "Please, take a seat in the lounge room if you want, I'll be there in a minute, do you want a soda?" she asked him, going into the kitchen and opening a soda as an excuse to be gone, grabbing the pills Carlisle had given her, taking out two and washing them down with the soda.

Jacob chuckled when Bella said 'let's go with that'. Obviously she hadn't tripped over, maybe something even sillier that she was too embarrassed about. Jacob made his way into the Swan household and sat on the sofa, staring at the television. It wasn't turned on, but it was better to look at a blank screen than to think of ways to bring up the subject of Bella's mortality.
"Yeah, sure," he said in response to Bella asking if he'd like a soda.
Jacob ran his fingers through his hair, trying to get out all the knots. This was a lost cause though, it would be quicker if he just cut it off. Maybe Bella had some scissors somewhere. "Hey, is there a pair of scissors somewhere?" Jacob called out, to Bella, who was at the kitchen fumbling through a cupboard. "I really need a haircut,"
This time Jacob paid more attention to what Bella was doing, and saw her swallow some pills. Why did she need medication...? He got up from the sofa and snatched the container from her hands for closer inspection. He looked at the container and immediately recognised them as the same meds that Carlisle had given him when he'd shattered the bones on his right side. Bella would most definitely not need these if she had just tripped over. She was hiding something from him.
"Bella! These are industrial strength pain killers! What did you do?" Jacob said, starting to yell a little. His good mood from meeting Bella again was gone, this time replaced with frustration that she had lied to him. Jacob always told Bella the truth, even when it hurt. Why was it so hard to return the favour?

Bella cringed a little when Jacob startled her, still expecting the Volturi to rush through the door to kill her any minute after they found out she wasn't getting changed after the wedding. "I didn't do anything" Bella told him, snatching the pills back off him. "Bree and I went to the book shop in Port Angeles, when we came out a vampire who we have no idea who he is and is in no way associated with the Cullens attacked me and decided to make me his next meal" Bella explained
She made sure that she stated that they didn't know the vampire, that he wasn't associated with the Cullens, not wanting him to blame Edward. "When he threw me onto the pavment I cut open my arm and fractured two ribs" Bella told him. "You know if you ask I'll tell you, you didn't have to yell" she told him, looking at his hair, knowing that he wanted sissors to cut it off "How about I get a brush instead" Bella suggested "You know I like your hair longer"

Jacob pressed his lips together tightly, trying to remain calm and not be angry at Bella. He took a deep breath to steady himself, while he thought things through rationally. The incident had nothing to do with the Cullens and Bella was safe because of them. He unclenched his fist, and apologised. "Sorry.." he said sincerely when he was calm enough to talk.
Jacob rolled his eyes when Bella mentioned a brush. It was easier to have short hair while in wolf form, and the way to do that was by cutting it off. She knew that. Jacob didn't do otherwise though, and nodded. If Bella liked it longer, then he'd just brush it. Hell, if she told him to jump off a ten story building he would.
"So..." Jacob started awkwardly, realising how stupid he sounded. He always made a fool of himself in front of Bella. "I heard that they backed out on the deal..." his voice trailed off as he tried to get rid of the heat running down his spine. That happened every time he thought of Bella being pale white, ice cold and stinky. He didn't have to further explain to Bella what he was talking about. If it was true, he knew she'd be pissed about it. So stubborn. Typical Bella.

Bella's breath caught when Jacob said that he heard that someone backed out of a deal, and Bella knew exactally who and what deal he was talking about. Anger, hurt and greif started to stir inside her as it always did when the topic was brought up these days, though she didn't want to be mad, angry, sad and upset with Jacob around.
"I'll get you a brush" she told him, a slight harsh undertone on her voice, not directed at Jacob but at Edward and Carlisle. She went into the bathroom and pulled out her brush, bringing it out to Jacob to use.

It broke Jacob’s heart to see Bella in pain, even about becoming a vampire. He knew that Edward had his good points, but he didn’t understand why Bella would throw her life away to be with him forever. It would be easier for her to stay human so she could remain friends with everybody, rather than avoiding humans and werewolves. If Bella did become a vampire, then there would be nothing Jacob could do about it. He’d be forced to fight her, to kill her. The heat flowed down his back again and he bit his lip with enough force to make his upper lip bleed. It would be healed before he swallowed, though.
Jacob needed to push Bella, to find out what the circumstances were. Was there something happening? Would the evil witch-bitch come back with the Volturi? Jacob was a wolf, and the whole pack needed to know if there was danger in any form.
”Why?” Jacob asked. ”What’s preventing the change from happening? We need to know.” he said, knowing that Bella would know that ‘we’ referred to the wolf pack.

Bella spun around to face Jacob as soon as she heard the word 'we' used, now she was mad, and her anger wasn't just directed at the Cullens. "Firstly, I don't see how my personal, private life is any buisiness of the pack's and secondly, is that the only reason why you came back? Did you only come back because Sam ordered you to come back and find out what's happening?" Bella demanded
"Atleast when Edward left me, he came back of his own free will, not because he was being ordered to" she spat at him, mad, turning around and starting to storm off out the front door to her car, to go for a drive and burn off some steam.

Jacob’s temper heated when Bella stormed off. His hands clenched into fists again and he felt like ripping his hair out. ”No, I came here myself. I heard from Seth, and I wanted to know what was going on. I wanted to know that you’d be safe. But apparently your life matters more to me than it does to you!” Jacob yelled the last part and followed Bella out of her house, when he finally realised that it was her who owned the blue car.
”Did Cullen bribe you to keep your mouth shut with this?” Jacob said bitterly, gesturing the shiny blue mini. As soon as he realised what he’d said, he regretted it, but the words kept flowing out of his mouth. ”How much did this cost? I bet you don’t like that he bought it for you.” his voice was still acidic, though he was not as angry as before.

"If you came by yourself then thats what you have to say!" Bella yelled at Jacob, turning around to yell at him, mad "Don't hide behind the pack! It's sweet that you care! I like that you care! I don't like them trying to stop me from being turned! I don't like them wanting to kill the Cullen!" Bella yelled at him, mad, angry, not at Jacob now, but at the Cullens, at Carlisle for post phoning the change, at Edward for not agreeing to do it anyway, at everyone else for agreeing.
She suddenly got mad at Jacob again for thinking that she would be brought off with a car. "You really think I'm so shallow they could buy me?!" Bella demanded, taking a step closer to Jacob in anger "You think that I like that Edward rocked up one day and swapped my truck for this? I love my truck!" she yelled, half spitting at Jacob "I hate that it's gone! I hate that he thought it was dangerous! I wish that it was back, but I also wished that Edward hadn't left, and I wished that you hadn't left, well atleast my truck didn't choose to go!" she spat at him

No, Jacob wasn’t as angry as he was before. He was angrier now. He pulled open the door of the car before Bella could drive off in it, putting a dent in the side of it. He glared at her with a vicious expression.
”Why haven’t you told me what’s going on? Tell me now!”Jacob demanded, and glared into Bella’s chocolate brown eyes. But that probably wasn’t the best thing for him to do if he wanted to remain angry. Those eyes made him turn to mush every time. The anger in his veins dissolved as quickly as it came, and it was replaced with sadness. Bella was upset that she wasn’t being changed sooner. She was choosing Edward over him, again. Would Jacob ever get over it, move on with his life? He didn’t think so.
Jacob released his grip on the car door slowly, his energy completely drained from his system. He needed to get away again. It had been a huge mistake coming here. He had just invited back all the pain and grief back on himself, and he wouldn’t be able to get rid of it unless he was a wolf again. He began to walk away, but hoping that she’d protest, he paused and turned around. ”You know, it would be easier if you were dead.” he mumbled, the pain clear in his voice. It was true. It would be easier for him. He started walking away again, his shoulders hunched.

"Don't do that to my car!" Bella yelled at Jacob when he started to dent her car, mad that he was doing it "I didn't choose it over the truck! I didnt choose it at all!" she yelled at Jacob, knowing that Edward was going to be mad about the dent. "I haven't told you because you haven't asked!" she told him "Or atleast not yourself, instead of pretending to be representing the pack, or giving me enough time to answer you" she pointed out.
Bella sighed and started to explain. "Carlisle decided that it's best not to have me changed yet because Bree is still a newborn and it would be dangerous to have two in the same house, Edward agreed with him and so did all the other Cullens which is why I'm mad at them at the moment, so I'm not being changed, a date hasn't been set and it probably wont be before another year is up" Bella told him
Tears filled Bellas eyes when Jacob turned on her, saying that it would be better if she was dead. "Please" she whispered, reaching out and touching his arm "Don't go, I need you Jake" she told him. "You're my best man, I saved you a seat next to me at the wedding" she said, just quieter than a whisper

Jacob sighed in pain when he felt Bella's hand touch his arm, cool against his hot skin. He turned around and saw tears in her eyes when she said she needed him. "Please... don't cry." Seeing Bella cry made his insides twist and turn into painful knots, almost making him cry himself. Bella had lived without him before, and she seemed to be doing just fine with her fiance. Jacob's face turned sour when he thought of that, Edward and Bella getting married. It was almost as bad as Bella becoming a vampire. Almost. He could live with the two getting married, just not her becoming his enemy. He hated to even think about it. Bella brought up the wedding herself, and mentioned that he was her best man and she'd saved her a seat. Jacob sighed, they would always be friends, no matter how strained the friendship was. He knew that Bella loved him back, but it wasn't enough to make her be a runaway bride.
"Okay." Jacob said, "I'll come to your wedding." It would kill him to see them get married, but how could he deny her what she wanted? They still had time left, since the delay was true, so they could be friends for a while after the wedding. Maybe Jacob could buy more time, try to show her everything that she'd miss. He'd tried already of course, but he needed to do everything he can. "I'll come under one condition," he smiled a little, before he said, "I want the first piece of cake."
