Hi dellahappy, I saw the Twlight movie and I can explain the meaning of the sentence in the context of loving someone. When Jacob says, we will be watching you to Bella, what he means is that they will be looking out for her and watch her always from the distance, without intruding or interfering in her life to ensure that she is doing well and is out of harm's way! It is a sentence commonly used to reassure the ones you love and care about to let them know that they are not alone even if you cannot be beside their sides always, but that you will be there for them should anything happen to threaten their safety.

oh really really thank you,starsailover,i think i got it according to your explainations and the context of this sentence,you have a very precise analysis.the speaker who says this sentence actually have a very close relationship with the listener,and i am sure what he means is that he will be always there right for her and takes action immediately if she is not happy... Under normal circumstances few people would say so,but the speaker must be the one who cares the other very much and trying to protect the other from being hurt...
