AN: Honestly I do not care if you want more out of this than there will be this is and will stay a one-shot. This is my first and probably only Twilight fan fiction. I was randomly inspired to write this while re-reading New Moon for the umpteenth time, it is my view on what I sorta thought should happen in that moment in that chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing it all belongs to Stephenie Meyer, I make no profit off of my works for this or any other fan fiction I write these for fun while I compose my own novel to help rid myself of writers block. Ergo you have no legal right to sue me!

What Should Have Happened

Jacob stopped the truck in front of my house and cut the engine so that all around us became silent. And like so many a time before he seemed completely in tune with my thoughts.

He threw his other arm around me and crushed me to his chest, binding us together. It felt nice, almost as though I was whole again.

I thought he'd be thinking of Harry, but instead he apologized to me. "Sorry. I know you don't feel the exact same way I do, bells. I swear I don't mind. I'm just so glad that you're alright that I could sing, and that's something nobody wants to hear." he laughed his throaty laugh in my ear. My breathing kicked up a notch, sanding the walls of my throat.

Wouldn't Edward, indifferent to me as he may be, want me to be as happy as possible right now? Wouldn't enough love linger for him to want at least that much for me? He wouldn't begrudge me giving a small bit of the love he didn't want to Jacob. After all it wasn't the same love.

Jake pressed his warm cheek to my hair. If I turned my face to the side, if I pressed my lips to the exposed shoulder… I knew without a doubt what would happen. It'd be easy, there wouldn't be a need for explanations tonight.

But could I bring myself to do it? Could I betray my absent heart to save my life? Butterflies swarmed and beat my stomach, attacking it, as I thought about turning my head.

Then clear as before, as though I were in horrible danger, Edward's velvet voice whispered in my ear. "Be happy," he told me.

I froze.

Jacob felt me go stiff and automatically released me reaching for the door.

"Wait," I said. "Please hold me again." I whispered.

We resumed the position we had already been in before he interrupted my thoughts. I did then, I turned to his shoulder and placed a feather light kiss to his warm flesh. I heard his breath catch. I lifted my head to his and cautiously set my lips on his. He responded slowly, measuring how far we could go, as though worried I would push him away as usual when we got too close.

I brought myself up and deepened the kiss, wedging myself between Jake and the steering wheel, straddling his rock hard thighs. I wrapped my arms around his neck and threaded my hands through his silky hair. He placed his hands at my waist letting out a deep throaty moan as I licked his bottom lip gaining entrance. I blamed teenage hormones as we knocked the window down slightly in our haste to taste and devour one another, as I rocked my hips unconsciously grinding on him.

Storm-cooled air blew through the cab of the truck.

"OH!" the breath he had left whooshed out of Jacob as though he'd been punched in the gut. "Holy crap!" ……
