Thanks so much for all of your reviews, it made me want to update faster. hope you like this!
Jacob tore through the forest, trying to find Leah's scent. It didn't take long, even in the rain, and he realized that she was only a mile away from the Cullens. He ran faster, his paws getting muddier in the process.
He had no idea what he was going to say to her, he just knew that she wasn't feeling great today, and he wanted to be there for her.
Finally, Jacob saw her. She wasn't looking so good either, and in only shorts and a t-shirt she must have been freezing. He phased, put on his shorts, and walked toward her.
Leah didn't know how long she was laying there on the ground, getting soaked. She didn't register the fact that she was cold until she saw herself shivering. She wrapped her arms around herself, too tired to move.
Suddenly, Leah felt warm, oh so warm hands touch her hands, her face. A shirt went over her head and she felt strong arms lift her up. The next thing she knew, she was being carried through the forest at a fast pace.
Leah's eyes fluttered and she caught a glimpse of the man carrying her.
"Jacob?" She couldn't understand how he found her, much less why he went looking for her. She remembered him telling her that he was staying with Renesmee that night. Why did he come looking for her?
The warm arms carrying her seemed much too comfortable and the last thing Leah remembered was a sickly sweet scent, before she was asleep, asleep in Jacob's arms.
Bella was pacing back and forth, thinking. How on earth did Jacob know Leah would be less than okay today? And more importantly, why should he care? Bella realized now that Jacob had gotten closer to Leah when she first joined the pack. Which was understandable, of course, but to abandon his imprint for her? Exactly how much did he care for Leah?
Bellas thoughts were interrupted by the front door, which burst open. It revealed a soaked, shirtless Jacob, carrying an equally soaked Leah, wearing Jacob's shirt.
Leah looked awful, if you asked Bella. She was dripping wet, and shivering, though it seemed she was sleeping. Bella looked at Jacob, and saw him looking down at Leah, a concerned look on his face. Maybe more than just concern Bella thought.
Jacob tore his gaze from Leah and looked around.
"Bella, where's Carlisle?" he asked urgently. Wow, he seemed intent on keeping Leah comfortable.
"Bella??"
Oh. Bella realized she hadn't answered him.
"Carlisle." She needn't yell. Carlisle could hear him just fine.
Sure enough, Carlisle, and Edward of course, flowed down the stairs and came to a halt in front of Jacob and Leah.
"Oh. She's freezing," said Carlisle. "Lay her down in the spare room, please, Jacob. I think the only thing she needs right now is some rest in a nice warm bed."
Jacob had been here long enough to know which spare room he was talking about, though he hadn't been here long enough to get there without getting lost. He looked around, trying to figure out which way to go.
"This way," Bella sighed. She led him down the hall, into a room, and up some steps to the spare room.
Carefully, Jacob put Leah down on the bed, and pulled the covers on top of her. Before he could stop himself, he kissed her forehead.
As if realizing what he did, he jerked away, and looked at Bella's expression. She looked mildly surprised, but it seemed as if she expected him to do that. Shaking his head, Jacob walked away after saying a muttered "g'night Leah," and left.
