Running up that Hill

by JacksperBride

Finally I was home. This is home because home is where Jacob, my best friend, is, and now I am finally back in Forks, after 10 long years." Whatever happened to Nessie and Jacob after Breaking Dawn? This is their story, told by her.

PROLOGUE

I was absolutely certain that I loved Jacob more than anything in the entire world. That I would give my immortal life away just for him, because from the day I was born I knew we were deeply connected on a level few people in this world ever are.

And as we stood up here, at what felt like the top of the world, I stared down at my hands in his, and suddenly everything shifted again within my world. My heart beat faster than it usually did and my mind was clouded with confusion, screaming at me to react to say something, to do something. And I couldn't. I was completely lost in his aroma, choking me, and I would willingly die at its hands.

"Nessie, are you alright?"

I closed my eyes and took one step closer, slowly placing my head on his chest, and breathing deeply, not saying a word.

I finally understood where my place really was in this world. I finally understood why my parents' struggle to be together was worth the fight. And I was more than armed and ready to fight mine.
