Jacob's words echoed in my mind over and over again; "he left you Bella, he didn't want you". He was referring to him, Edward. I couldn't help but feel the sting that came with the truth that was carried in those words… he didn't want me. But I had saved him anyway, I had left Forks and I had gone to rescue the man who refused to rescue me from the personal prison he condemned me to when he left. Now I had to choose between Jacob and Edward. Could I put the pain behind me and return to the vampire? Or should I be with Jacob? Who saved my life more than once and in more than one way.
Bella POV
It started raining the minute I collapsed into my bed. I was exhausted, having gone to Italy and back with hardly any rest, but I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to see them again, they had left so suddenly and now they were back. The thought of being able to see them again, everyday, filled the hole that had tortured me for nearly a year. I didn't hear the window open over the sound of the rain, and my exhausted body didn't register the voice in my ear calling my name.
"Bella? Bella are you awake?" I assumed the voice was a dream, produced by my over tired mind, but warm hand covered my shoulder and gently shook me, as if trying not to wake me if I was asleep.
"Bells?" The voice called in a gentle whisper.
I rolled over and saw Jacob standing over my bed, his frame dripping wet from the heavy rain. I tried to say hello, but it came out as a soft moan, which made Jake smile his crooked smile the one I love. I returned the expression and closed my eyes, comforted by his company. I fell asleep soon after that, but vaguely remember feeling his frame slip onto the small bed next to me.
Jacob POV
I woke the next morning with Bella wrapped securely in my arms, the sound of her slow breathing filling the room. The rain had stopped and the sun peeked through the clouds at random intervals. I sighed lightly, knowing that the bloodsuckers were back and that Bella was likely to return to her precious Edward. I felt my heart sink to my stomach and I knew that I couldn't be around Bella now that he was back.
I removed my arms from her small frame and brushed my hand over her forehead, pushing the a few loose strands of hair off her face and started to get up to leave. I heard Bella stir halfway to the window and I paused for a second trying not to wake her. When I thought she had settled again I continued moving towards the window to sneak out.
"Jake?…" Bella said in a sleepy fashion, freezing me to the spot. I felt ashamed to be caught trying to sneak out her bedroom. I turned to face her, my head lowered, eyes on the ground. "Where are you Jacob? It's dark, I can't see." Her words confused me and I looked up to find Bella talking in her sleep. I moved back to her and took her hand "I'm right here Bells." I whispered in her ear and brushed her knuckles over my lips. I stayed kneeling beside her bed until she woke and felt her hand curl around mine. Glancing upwards to see her eyes opening slowly I leaned forward and whispered greetings into her ear. I felt her smile and squeeze my hand.
"Morning Jake." She replied, shifting in the bed, inviting me to sit on the edge.
I stood, but didn't take up the offer, remembering that she had Edward back now and she would prefer him in her bed to me. "I just wanted to see that you were okay." I said and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "I have to go now," I lied, "but I'll be back later." I lied again and letting go of her hand I slipped out the window, closing it behind me.
This is my first Fan Fiction thing and I haven't written anything creative for a while, so sorry if it's a little bit dodgy.
