Prologue
So this is where you are and this is where I am,
somewhere between unsure
and a hundred.
Hundred, The Fray
As I stared into the blood-red eyes of the creature that might kill me, I couldn't help but think of all the time I'd wasted. I'd been so stupid, so foolish to think that I could deny what'd happened between Jacob and I for so long. Why had I wasted those precious months? Why had I insisted on starting out slow, being 'just friends'? I whined low in my throat at the thought of the seconds, minutes, hours I'd let pass by without telling him how much I loved him.
Then, the left side of my brain kicked in and I remembered that the girl who had fled to La Push all those months ago hadn't been a girl ready to fall drastically into life-changing, world-moving love. I'd needed that time to process the sharp, tragic turn my life had taken and to adjust to the idea of a soul mate, of spending the rest of my life with one beautiful man, and to the ferocity of my own feelings for him. I'd needed time and when I was ready, he was waiting.
In what might've been the last moments of my life, I thought of Jacob's warmth, the dark sensuality of his eyes, his smile when I'd whispered those words in his ear and the desperate happiness I'd felt lying in his arms.
I lunged.
