Hey everyone. So here is yet ANOTHER Twilight story by yours truly, KIMMYSAURUS-REX :) or just Kimmy.
So, I am going to take a moment to first explain the setting. My story, Lunar Eclipse, take place part way threw New Moon, before Eclipse or Breaking Dawn. It is as if Bella never jumped off the cliff. She waits for Jake. Just to refresh your memory the first part in italics is an extract from New Moon for which I take NO CREDIT; it belongs entirely to Stephanie Meyer.
DISCLAIMER: unfortunately I do not own any of the characters. But I wouldn't mind getting Jacob Black for my birthday ;D)
Extract from new moon [page 359] (when Bella is about to jump and she hears Edwards' voice in her head):
"No Bella!" he was angry now, and the anger was so lovely.
I smiled and raised my arms straight out, as if I were going to dive, lifting my face into the rain. But it was too ingrained from years of swimming at the public pool- feet first, first time. I leaned forward, crouching to get more spring…LUNAR ECLIPSE
Chapter One - Natural
"Bella!" a voice screamed, this time not coming from inside my head. "Bella don't!" The voice was anxious. And before I had time to stand up right I was rolling on the floor, tackled by Jacob away from the cliff. As quickly as he had sprung on me he was off. "I'm sorry, so sorry. Did I hurt you? I just didn't want you to jump, or fall. It's like a hurricane the water down there. Today is a bad day Bells-"
"Jake stop." I stood up putting a finger to his lips. "You just saved me why are you apologizing? I didn't even think about the water below, I was just thinking about the fall really."
"Well if you're sure that you are okay, we should head over to the hospital."
"But Jake, I am fine I don't need to go really."
"It's not you." He grabbed my hand and started to walk toward a car, I figured it was Sam's considering he was sitting in the front seat, "Harry Clearwater had a heart attack this morning. He didn't make it. Charlie and Billy are there, along with Seth, Leah, and Sue Clearwater. Harry and Charlie were close, same with Billy; we need to be there for our dads."
"I can't say you're wrong." And just as we were almost at the car, me being me, I tripped over a branch or a rock. My feet flew out behind me, and my head smashed down on something hard. I smelt the sickening smell of blood, and then I was out.

I remember waking up in a bright white room, and a clean smell. I immediately knew I was in the hospital. My head felt heavy, I lifted my hand to feel the damage but all I felt was a huge bandage on my forehead, my whole forehead.
"Bells?" It was Charlie's questioning voice that was wondering if I was okay.
"I'm good dad, you should be with the Clearwater's, with Sue and Billy."
"Well, now that I know you are okay, I guess I'll go back. It's just one floor up. Jake is outside I'll send him in, no need for you to be alone. If they release you Bells, go home but stay with Jake okay? Take it easy."
"Got it dad."
"Bye Bells." And he kissed my bandage and left the room, an odd display of affection from Charlie. Something rare, I guess Harry passing has spooked him out a bit considering I spend a good portion of my life in the hospital.
"Only you," Jake's comforting voice came from the doorway, "only you could do something so stupid Bella."
"I know, when do I get to go home?" I asked since going home was all I wanted to do. I wanted to forget about the voice. His voice. I didn't want to hear it anymore. No more stupidities. What if I had jumped? What if I had died?
Jacob left the room to talk to the nurse as I spoke to myself in my head. Jake, what would my death do to him? I couldn't do that to Jake. Of course I loved him. There was nothing wrong with Jacob, my Jacob. Only, he wasn't Edward. My thoughts only whispered his name. Jacob would not leave me though. Jake didn't think like he did. Jake knew I needed him and wouldn't deprive me of what I needed. Maybe it's about time I try Jake on. My love for Jacob could grow if I let it. Sure it may take time, but it would not shrink, it could only go.
"We're good to go Bells, I'll take you home and stay with you until Charlie gets home, and he's leaving with Sue and her kids now." Jacob spoke as he walked around the room collecting the flowers someone had sent me and tossing them in the trash. He didn't even have to ask if I wanted them. He knew that I would not want any signs of sympathy from anyone.
"Don't ever leave me Jacob." I was speaking my thoughts, maybe it wasn't the best moment, but it was as good as any, I might loose my courage.
"You know I won't." and with that he was right beside me, my hand held in both his warm hands. "You know I love you Jake." I continued. "Don't leave me."
"Bella, you've got to stop hitting your head so hard. The first time you hit your head you think I am sort of beautiful, now you say you love me."
"But I do, and you are Jake." And I meant it.
"Let's get you home before you start signing or something." He always turned it into a joke.
The ride home was silent. My mind was racing; I wanted him to know I was serious. I wanted him to know that I had made up my mind that I wanted to forget about the Cullen's and I wanted to start fresh with him. He opened the door to my house, and I didn't bother wondering where he got the key. I just went in and turned to face the door behind him, as he locked it. He turned around and I was right there inches from him.
"Bella?" he asked, a confused look spread upon his face.
"I meant it." It came out a whisper but I knew he heard loud and clear. Then I leaned forward, on my tip toes and pressed my lips to his. It wasn't anything like kissing Edward. Jacob was warmer, and softer. This seemed more natural. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put this by my waist pulling me closer. Our lips melted together and my thought processes dissolved and were forgotten.
When we finally let go of each other it was natural. Because we both needed to breath, not because he was resisting killing me, that was good. I liked kissing Jacob; it was easy, and comfortable.
"Bells," he looked deep into my eyes as he spoke, "finally. You've come to your sense."
We laughed and kissed again. If being with Jake was going to be this easy, it was definitely something I could do. We sat on the sofa, closer than we used to, and watched a movie, hand in hand, head on shoulder. It was nice, I felt safe.
Somewhere near eleven at night, Charlie came home. He called out for me and naturally Jake tried to lean away. But I didn't care, I knew my father would approve so as he leaned away I followed, keeping my head against him and squeezed his hand tighter.
"Really?" Jake asked, "You don't mind Charlie?"
"He's always been on your side, this will make his day." I replied and a smile grew on Jakes face as he kissed the top of my head.
When Charlie turned the corner and saw us together his face bore the biggest smile I had seen in months. "Good for you Jacob." And he left the room. He had never left me alone with Edward. Jacob was different, there was no effort.
Being near him was natural and I loved that.
Well, I hope you enjoyed it. :) Because I know I did. TEAM JACOB!!! Anyways, review if you want me to keep writing. Thank you so much to readers. To those who add alerts and favorites, it's for you that I keep writing.
