Starry Night Skies
"Jake! Where are you?" Bella asked frantically.
I didn't really know where I was. All I knew was that I was 7 years old, and I followed Bella's voice through the storm. I saw a figure hugging a nearby tree; my eyes squinted through the fog until I got there. Just then, the wind sped up. I couldn't make it to the tree. A soft small hand grabbed mine, until we were both against the tree. Bella laced her fingers in mine. As I prayed for someone to find us, I glanced over to see Bella with her eyes squeezed shut, doing the same as me. We stayed in that position for what seemed like a lifetime, with our fingers intertwined.
Bellas P.O.V
That storm lasted forever. Anyway, with Jake around, I felt safe. Finally I heard Renee shouting my name, along with Jake's scumbag father, Billy Black. Ugh, the name alone. I always overheard him talking to his many other girlfriends. I could tell that my mother knew, by the way that her eyes would dull when he left on a 'trip'. He often hit my mother when he felt like it. It was horrible. I usually would hear it, but one day I decided to stop it, so I went down and got hit myself. Any time it would happen, Jake would come into my room and we'd lay there crying together. Jake was like a brother to me. If my mother and Billy ever get married then we will be. Jake had brown skin, dark brown eyes and hair, and was my best friend. I also had another 'brother' named Edward. He was also Billy's child, but had come from a rich English woman. Whereas Jakes mother had apparently been Billy's high school sweetheart. She was a great person, who brought out the best in him. She died while giving birth to Jake, so Billy kept him. I didn't think Billy was even capable of love, but it was possible with Jakes mother. Billy left the English woman as soon as he found out that she was pregnant. Later he had to take care of him because he will get a large trust fund when he is 20. Edward is a jerk just like his father.
Jakes P.O.V
We were in Bellas room when we both heard a crash from the kitchen, and a bloodcurdling scream from Renee.
