Disclaimer: I would love to lay a claim to the lovely Cullens (Bella included!) or some of the smexy boys of La Push. Unfortunately I am not allowed to claim either group, so I'll settle for terrorizing them as an author.
Note:
Summary: Edward's gone. And maybe her heart's beating, but Bella knows she's dead. And now Jacob knows too. One-shot.
Me and Jacob talk a lot now that Edward's gone. Actually, he does most of the talking. I just listen. One day, he got on the conversation of aging. This conversation led to the one of death.
He says, "We're all going to die someday."
I smile and nod. I say, "I know."
He blinks. "Doesn't that bother you?" he asks.
And I say, "No."
And he asks why. And I tell him. "Because I'm already dead."
Jacob doesn't like this answer. But he cradles me to his chest anyway, and waits for me to cry. But doesn't he know? A dead person doesn't cry. So he'll leave for the night, and I'll sit in bed. I never know when exactly, I fall asleep. I just know I wake up in Jacob's arms the next day.
One day, he looks at me. He is tired. "You're already dead," he admits.
I nod and smile, repeating what everyone knew. "I'm dead."
Pent: Well, that's that one. Review!
