Author's Note: Takes place in Eclipse, after the battle when Bella is visiting Jacob.
Jake's POV
The door opened a crack. I knew who it was without looking. I knew who it was standing behind the door hesitant to come in. I knew that, but I didn't know how she would feel. The kiss. Bella's face filled the crack of the door. I felt warmer, when I saw her. My heart burned as I watched her awkwardly push open the door. I could see she was prepared to deliver bad news. Her delicate face twisted into a frown so heart breaking no one should wear, especially not Bella. I already knew what she would tell me. I stared at her. Me eyes met her eyes. A rush went through me. Her eyes were so sad. They looked down quickly away from mine. I wanted to stare into them for the rest of the days they were brown, maybe even longer. Next I saw her lips. The bright red, no doubt from biting her lip on the way over. They were the lips that were pressed to mine only a few hours earlier. They were the only lips I wanted to press my lips to. Then I saw her whole face, bent into a sad, regretful expression. I wanted to hold it and tell her to be happy; I wanted her expression to become happy for me. I wanted it to be the last face I saw before I went to sleep. Next I took in her hair. It was still a mess. I wanted to smell her strawberry shampoo in the beginning of the day, everyday. I wanted to run my fingers through it, feeling the her soft locks. Finally I saw her body. She was standing uncomfortably in the doorway, unsure of her next move. I wanted to tuck her into my arms and never let go. I wanted to be near her at all times. She noticed now how my expression didn't change.
If I could I'd change the world for her, I would push mythical creatures back into storybooks and movies. Then we could be together; how fate had intended it. I would be Jacob Black. Just Jacob Black, not a werewolf. Bella would be Bella Swan, not vampire girl. She wouldn't know Edward Cullen. He would just be a name on a gravestone to her. I would be the only one she wanted, if mythical creatures weren't thrown into the mix. I would be the one she said "I do" to. We would have little Bellas running around a few years later. I would hug her every time I saw her and every time she left my line of sight. I would make sure she knew I loved her at the start of everyday. I would do all that, if I could change the world.
But I couldn't change the world. She would end up with Cullen and become one of them. She wouldn't be there at the start of everyday. Little Bellas would never occupy the earth. She wouldn't be in my line of vision. She wouldn't want to hug me; she would be repulsed by me.
The day her blood evaporated would be the day Jacob Black and Bella Swan died.
