My first foray into Twilight fiction. A Jared/Kim story cause I really like the couple. :)
Twilight is owned by , definitely not by me.
He made his way to her house, his shoulders sagging, his feet feeling like blocks of wood. The past few hours had been horrific. Sam had come so close to losing Emily to a bloodsucker. The pain and guilt that Sam felt had reverberated through the whole pack. To lose the one you loved was unthinkable, unbearable and yet the possibility was frighteningly real.
He needed to hold her, to feel her close, to breathe in her warm scent, to feel her heart thudding against his chest, a reminder that she was alive and well and safe in his arms. This need, this burning consuming need, drove his numb feet to her house. He scaled the house with ease and grace and soundlessly made it inside her room.
She was asleep and the even thrum of her breathing was the only sound in the nightime that reassured him and comforted him. He sat down next to the bed, content to watch her slight chest rise and fall, wanting to hold her close but not wanting to disturb her.
He sat there for god only knows how long until she started awake. She gasped at the sight of him, sitting next to the bed, haggard and worn out. Concern flooded her features as a quick look at his face made her realize something was wrong, terribly wrong. She threw aside the bed cover and patted the space next to her and he wordlessly climbed on and lay down. She wrapped her arms around him murmuring soothing sounds and before he knew it the dam had burst.
The tears flowed freely creating a wet patch on her on her flannel nightshirt but she just held him closer and tighter enveloping him in the warmth of her embrace. She covered the both with the quilt and lay down back on the bed. The tears had gone and the only traces of them were on his cheeks and her nightshirt.
He was ashamed of the way he had behaved, he had just barged into her room and climbed into her bed and had not said a word about what had happened, what caused the tears. But the thought of voicing even the possibility of losing her was beyond him. To verbalize it would be allowing the possibility to exist. But it had to be done. She had to know, she had to know how important she was to him, how he would not, how he could not survive if she weren't there. He took a deep shuddering breath.
"Kim"
"Yes Jared" her warm, soft voice washed over him gentle waves. She stroked his hair, smoothing it away from his forehead, her cool fingertips grazing his hot forehead.
"I don't want to lose you Kim, ever. I don't want to"
The tears flowed again, a steady stream of them. She turned his face towards her and wiped away the tears gently placing a kiss on his forehead.
"You won't lose me Jared"
He hugged closer then before, his arms winding tightly around her slight waist, as he if he never wanted to let go. For the first time that night, he smiled a small smile. She tightened her arms around him and he fell asleep, hearing the steady beating of her heart, secure in the knowledge that he wouldn't lose her. That she would always be with him, tonight and for evermore.
I know it's not that great but I just wanted to give it a try. Anyways if you have any suggestions about improving it do let me know in a review. :)
