Remember to review! It makes me happy!


New Moon, page 412

The shrill ringing of the phone made us both jump, but it did not break his focus. He took his hand from under my chin and reached over me to grab the receiver, but still held my face securely with the hand against my cheek. His dark eyes did not free mine. I was too muddled to react, even to take advantage of the distraction.

"Swan residence," Jacob said, his husky voice low and intense.

Someone answered, and Jacob altered in an instant. He straightened up, and his hand dropped from my face. His eyes went flat, his face blank, and I would have bet the measly remainder of my college fund that it was Alice.

I recovered myself and held my hand out for the phone. Jacob ignored me.

"He's not here," Jacob said, the words were menacing.

There was some very short reply, a request for more information it seemed, because he added unwillingly, "He's at the funeral."

Then Jacob hung up the phone…

"Who was that?" I inquired impatiently.

"Just someone asking for Charlie. Don't worry about it." He said, putting his hands back on my face where they had been a moment ago and leaned in so that his lips were just inches from mine.

His dark eyes were lit up with an emotion that I hadn't seen in so long I'd almost forgotten it existed. My mind was running wild, trying to come up with a way to get out of this situation. I didn't want to set my heart up to get broken again while it wasn't even completely healed yet.

But what if this would be different? What if Jacob truly loved me the way Edward never could? Jacob could hold me and love me without wanting to kill me. So many possibilities lurked on the horizon and all depended on one thing; me having the strength to love someone other than Edward.

Jacob closed his eyes and kissed my cheek. His lips were warm on my skin, and in that moment I decided to give my best friend a chance. What was the worst thing that could come from one kiss? At least then I would know if I had room in my heart to love two people at once.

Jacob leaned back and stared into my eyes cautiously, waiting for my reaction. I leaned closer to him so that our lips were seconds away from touching. Jacob closed the space between us and kissed me.

Jacob was being careful with me, but not for the same reason Edward had been. To Jacob I was breakable for another reason. His kiss was tender and passionate at the same time and full of longing. His lips lingered on mine for a moment. Then he wrapped his arms around me and sighed.

The kiss hadn't been what I expected it to be. It was nice and the gaping hole in my chest didn't ache when he kissed me. It wasn't healed but maybe with time Jacob could fill the space that was left.

"Bella it's okay if you're not ready for this yet." Jacob said, still holding me tight to his chest. "I know this must be hard for you after- well, you know. I'm still willing to wait for you though. I'll give you as long as you need."

"Jake, I love you, just not like you want me to. Over time that could change but right now I just need you to be my friend."

"Sure sure, you got it."

"Thanks."

"Just friends," He said, kissing my cheek.

He pulled away from me and wrinkled his nose.

"Oh come on Jacob! I don't smell!"

"Not you, your friend is back though. Bella I need to go."

"Okay, just promise you'll be back later."

"Promise," He smiled, kissed my check, and was out the door. I waited for the sound of an engine revving to life and then hurried upstairs to see Alice.

When I got to my room no one was there, but there was a note stuck to my head board covered in Alice's elegant script.

Bella,

I'm sorry that I couldn't say goodbye. Jasper needed me back home. Stick to the path you're on and you'll be safe from even the worse type of monster. I love you and to me, you'll always be my sister. I'll be seeing you.

Love,

Alice

The note slipped from my hands and fell to the floor. Alice was gone, and there was no hope of seeing my desired family again. Before the hole in my chest could beginning to rip its self open I grabbed my keys and drove as fast as my truck would let me to Jacob's.

"Edward she's not dead. I know. I saw her."

"I'll kill Rosalie."

"No you won't. Trust me. You haven't been to the Volturi yet have you?"

"No, and I'm not going to go."

"Edward, we miss you. Please come back home."

"Eventually, I have some things to take care of first."
