Short Stack are my influence 3

In this story, Jacob will be a much darker character than in twilight.

Bella took Jacob's hand, her eyes lingering in his, warming his insides, cooling his head.

Looking deep in her eyes,

She's perfect

Not only did he smile back warmly at her, but his eyes did too; making Bella truly sense his happiness. She was glad he was happy, of course. It was difficult to make Jacob laugh lately.

Jacob's mother had recently died, which meant that Bella's family spent more time with Jacob because they wanted to be there for him and his family during this time of heartache. All Jacob wanted to do however was spend time with Bella. And having her be around so often helped him relieve the fact that his mother was gone.

She didn't know that, though. She was sure that he wasn't really appreciating her be around too often because of how sad he looked. Seldom did he smile. And Bella was sure her next move would cause him to be happy; to smile, to laugh. Surely. It had too. That was the only way she would be sure that he was still alright.

I'm wondering whether

She thinks the same as me

She picked up the mud pie at her crossed legs and feet without looking away from Jacob, giving him a false sense of security. As she picked up the pie, her grip on his hand grew tighter, and with a small giggle, she threw the pie into his face, causing mud to splatter all over the wall behind him.

The giggles became continuous and infectious then as they grew louder and louder. Jacob couldn't help but laugh along with Bella, she was much too cute. Never could he be angry at such a girl; one that he hoped to share the rest of eternity with.

And I hope that this lasts forever.

And at the age of just 4, that was his plan. That's what he was going to do. He'd spend the rest of forever with her.

He looked her up and down through his mud covered eyes and smiled at her cute, shoulder length brown hair, her pink undershirt, her blue overalls and her purple sandals, and he knew; this was the one. She was gorgeous, obviously. She was everything.

Everything that I will ever need.

You're just so beautiful to me.

He giggled along with her then took her hand in his, squeezed it hard, and smiled back at her, moving his head into hers. There was a shared passion between the two that was much more than just a love. Of course, him being 4 and her being 5 may have affected the lust factor of things, however there was a clear love between the two. And that moment they shared when looking into each others eyes would have showed to any on-lookers that these kids, whatever their age, were in love. And they would be for years to come.

And we are one step closer.

But, without her knowledge, he had something planned. An evil scheme that would leave her so startled. One she would have never seen coming. One that would, most likely, leave Bella in tears. But Jacob didn't care; his plan was genius.

He kept her eyes caught on hers as she had done not five minutes ago. And, as she had done, he picked up his mud pie and threw it so hard in her face that it broke her nose.

After Charlie, Bella's dad, was done with yelling at Jacob, the three hour wait in the emergency room of Forks Hospital, and the apologies from Jacob's dad, Billy, he allowed Bella to see Jacob quickly before they parted and both went home.

Jacob didn't mean to hurt Bella. Or at least he'd hoped not too. He didn't want to break her nose it just… happened.

He smiled an over-excited, happy smile at her, his way to say 'see you soon'.

She tried to grin back just as largely to him, but hurt her nose in the process. She cringed in pain, and then started crying because of how much it actually hurt her to smile. His first reaction was to run away, however he ignored it and quickly yanked her body into his, hugging her tightly to get her to be quiet before Charlie or Renee, Bella's mom, came in and blamed Jacob.

The hug softened her cries for she now sobbed on Jacob's shoulder.

"It hurts," she mumbled.

"I'm sorry." He said, only just being able to make the r's not sound like w's.

She sniffed once and pulled away from Jacob, revealing a small wet patch on his shoulder from where she'd cried on him.

Tell me should I confess

To the beat

We're taking it further.

Renee came in then, and saw Bella crying. She lifted Bella up in too her motherly arms and kissed her forehead, whispering

"We'll soon be gone."

Jacob didn't hear this as he was consumed in Bella's presence.

And I wont go if you will never leave

Jacob didn't know until four days later that Charlie and Renee had divorced, and Bella had been taken away to Arizona.

Being 4, he didn't understand this one bit, and so, he thought it was all his fault. After all, he'd broken Bella's nose, and hurt Charlie and Renee's feelings by doing so. Or so he thought.

He lived twelve years of his life oblivious to the fact that it wasn't his fault the love of his life had left. Of course he knew Renee and Charlie had divorced, but he couldn't help but think 'this was all my fault; if I hadn't have broken her nose, then maybe she could've stayed.'

But then she came back. He let Billy tell him it wasn't his fault then. He then realised his twelve years of lost contact could have been taken back, he could have spoken to her. All those days he was down, he could have contacted her; been happy. Then he realised his love could be easily rekindled; if she'd let it be.

Come place your hand in mine this lonely night,

Hold me close and I'll turn off the light.

He hoped she'd let it be.
