I laid on my back and looked up at the stars. The moon shone lightly, illuminating everything on the small hill. I was vaguely aware of the presence beside me. Heating me up with every breath he took. I looked over at him, and watched him breath. He was laying the same way as me; arms behind his head, which was turned up the slightest bit to see the stars.
He noticed me watching him and turned his head to face me. "Bella?" he asked. "Yeah?" I answered, and turned my head to look at the stars.
"You know I love you, right?" I heard a faint rustling and looked at him. He was facing me now, completely serious. "Of course," I said. "I love you too, Jake." I smiled.
"You know that whatever happens, I will ALWAYS love you. Right?" We were facing each other now, and I was completely entranced by him. "Yeah, Jake. We're best friends, I mean, what could split us apart?"
"If he came back," he said, his eyes sad.
I shuddered. Edward. He was gone. I knew he wasn't coming back. He didn't want me. "If they all came back, I know you would choose them Bella, choose the bloodsuckers over me." He said, sitting up. I sat up as well now, and looked at him. "Jake, what are you talking about? I would never do that, you're like my brother. I wouldn't just leave you behind. You've helped me so much these past couple weeks. I've learned to face what I didn't think I could ever face. I love you for that, and I would never leave you." I said. He looked at me, his eyes were blazing.
It was a beautiful sight. The two of us. Best friends, laying in the gently swaying grass, the moon, shining lightly, illuminating everything with a blue haze. Everything was just so calm, and for a moment, a second, I forgot. I forgot about everything. And in that moment, I realized, people needed me. My life wasn't ruined. In the end, everything would work out.
I looked over at Jacob. He was still staring at the sky. I watched him breathe rhythmically. My own breathing began to slow, and my eyes began to droop.
"Sleepytime, Bells?" I heard a faint voice say. I nodded my head very slightly and I felt bulging arms pick me up, and begin to walk. "Night, Bella."
