Starting a Fire
A Jacob and Bella Oneshot
Fluff Takes place during New Moon :)Bella looked out over the beach in La Push, she was thinking of how pathetic it was to long for the soul that would never come back. She woke up every morning now, and realized that nothing was missing. The mornings she had woken up with Edward there, she never really had felt anything. It was just the same. Her imagination had tricked her common sense. What big difference would it make if another cold body were lying in her bed? Other times she wondered, even when she was together with Edward, what it would be like to love, and cherish love, with a warm body and soul? She used to keep that wish far and deep inside of her mind, letting it gather dust. Now, she was ready for anything that God threw her way, not caring if it was without Edward. Actually, she would prefer if it didn't.
"Hey Bells," Jacob came over to her, in his usual strong manner. "Wha'cha thinking about so hard?"
"Hey, just.. a lot of things Jake." Bella didn't like telling him things that she deemed too depressing. He still seemed so young to her, and she didn't believe in ruining his innocence just so she could have a lighter heart.
"Come on, what's wrong?" He kept pushing. Bella thought about actually telling him, and she had a new and burning desire to do so. What was she supposed to say though, 'Well Jake, I hate Edwards guts, I really love you!' That would never work, would it?
"I can't tell you. I almost wish I could."
Jacob turned to face her, and grasped both of her hands while pulling her in closer. Her statement had obviously angered him. His eyes made her feel like she was drowning, and she absolutely loved every milisecond of it. Then his perfect lips said the words she had wanted to hear for so, so long. "I love you. You can tell me anything, really Bella Swan."
She finally realized she hadn't been breathing. So she inhaled deeply, and made her attempt at putting all of these horrible, guilty feelings into words. "I'm tired, Jacob. I'm tired of loving somebody who never really existed. I should've known from the start that what I was feeling was nothingness, but I was so stupid Jake! I know now, that I want something pure, and warm and real, something I can so easily love..like you." Bella blinked back the tears and embarrassment she was feeling. "And I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out."
Jacob pulled his beautiful mouth together into a smile, one that he had waited to show Bella for a long time. Then, he kissed her. He put all of the difficuties and struggles he had worked through during her time with that bloodsucker, into that kiss.
Bella woke up the next morning, with a warmth next to her, a new kind of warmth that took over her completely. She knew it would never go away now.
