A/N: Hey loves, sorry for the long wait on my other stories! I'll be updating them soon, but this is an idea that's been swimming around in my head for a while now, and I finally have time to write it out. Enjoy!

I knew that this was the stupidest, most reckless thing I had done yet. The thought made me smile. The pain was already easing, as if my body knew that Edward's voice was just seconds away. . . .

The ocean sounded very far away, somehow farther than before, when I was on the path in the trees. I grimaced when I thought of the probable temperature of the water. But I wasn't going to let that stop me.

The wrong blew stronger now, whipping the rain into eddies around me.

I stopped out to the edge, keeping my eyes on the empty space in front of me. My toes felt ahead blindly, caressing the edge of the rock when they encountered it. I drew in a deep breath and held it. . . waiting.

"Bella."

I smiled and exhaled.

Yes? I didn't answer out loud, for feast that the sound of my voice would shatter the beautiful illusion. He sounded so real, so close. Out was only when he was disapproving like this that I could hear the true memory of his voice- the velvet texture and the musical intonation that made up the most perfect of all voices.

"Don't do this," he pleaded.

You wanted me to be human, I reminded him. Well, watch me.

"Please. For me."

But you won't stay with me any other way.

"Please." It was just a whisper in the blowing rain that tossed my hair and drenched my clothes- making me as wet as of this were my second jump of the day.

I rolled up onto the balls of my feet.

"No, Bella!"

My head snapped around as my illusion was broken to see Jacob running towards me, frantic.

I stood numb, shocked. I was so close, so close to having Edward back again forever, and now that chance was gone. Never to return.

Jacob had reached me now and pulled me into a gigantic, crushing hug before pulling back and looking at me like I was insane- which I most likely was, only he didn't know to what extent.

"Are you crazy?" He asked me. "You could have died if you'd just jumped, Bells, there's a bad storm coming in."

"I'm sorry... I just..."

Jacob sighed as he looked of into the distanced with a pained look on his face.

"C'mon, you must be freezing, lets get you home."

I simply nodded, not trusting my voice as tears filled my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? So irresponsible? So blind? How could I not see that Edward wasn't what I needed anymore? He had moved on almost a year ago and now it was time for me to do so as well.

And I knew who I could move on with, trust my heart with. He was my sun, my Jacob, my second chance.

As Jacob helped me into the passenger side of my truck and walked around to get behind the wheel, I knew it was time.

He settled in and I turned towards him, looking at him as he searched my face.

"Bells?"

My determination wavered and I cast my eyes downward. I wanted to move on, wanted to leave behind the home in my chest, but I couldn't find the words to say what I wanted to say.

"Nothing, just. . . Thanks, for saving me, Jake."

He flashed me his brilliant smile, and it took me back to simpler days when magic was just a myth- there was no such thing as vampires or werewolves, only Jake and Bells.

"You know I'll always be here, honey. No need for thanks."

He'd took my hand, and I didn't pull away.

So, I´m thinking of making this a multi chapter fic, but I'm not sure yet. I might leave it as a Oneshot. Don't forget to review!
