Bella turned over to find Edward gone but a not was sitting there in the place where Edward usually was.
I'll be back, love. I went hunting for the day. Spend the day in La Push. Alice will be at your place later if you are still home. Be safe, love.
Love,
Edward
Bella looked over at her clock, 7 am it read. Much too early to be up. But she got up anyways. She heard a knock at the front door.
'Must be Alice,' she thought.
She walked down the stairs to the door. When she pulled it open, instead of Alice being there it was Sam Uley.
"Sam, what is it? Is it Jake?" she asked panicked.
"Bella get dressed now. And I'll tell you on the way."
She flew up the stairs and into her room. Grabbed her jeans form the night before which she slipped over her boxers. Then she threw on a blue muscle shirt with purple stars on it and took one quick brush through her hair. And she grabbed her jacket and keys and was back at the front door and locking it and was following Sam to his back Dodge Ram.
Once they were on the rode, Bella started asking questions.
"Sam, what the hell is wrong?" she asked.
"Calm down first. It's about Jake. Remember Victoria? Well she attacked Jake from behind. And he has been badly injured. He keeps asking for you though. So I said I would come and get you. But he doesn't have much time left. I'm sorry Bella." He explained.
Bella just nodded her head. She was beyond speechless. It was getting even harder for her to think straight. She was too afraid that she would loose her best friend, now.
When they had pulled up at the Blacks' house she bolted towards the front door before Sam had a chance to even turn the truck off. The door opened and Bella rushed in as Quil said, "He's in his room." She entered his room and everyone that was in there left. As Paul left he shut the door behind him.
"Bella?" Jake's voice cracked. He seemed to have a hard time talking.
"Yes it's me. Shhh." Bella sat down next to him on his bed.
"No listen," he whispered.
"On my dresser there is the russet coloured jewelry box. It's yours now and everything inside it. Don't you dare say no. I don't have much time left. And I am sorry. I am sorry that I don't have much time with you anymore. Before I die, listen don't cry yet. I know, I know, I am too young to die. But I love you. I love you with all my heart. And I want you to know that. Remember that I will always be with you. Remember me in your heart and I will still be alive. Remember me and I will never truly die."
Bella curled up next to him. They stayed like that for a long while. At least until Quil and Embry came in together for dinner.
"Bells, wake up. Its time to eat." Quil whispered into her ear.
She stirred lightly.
"Come on, time to get up." Embry said this time.
