Finding comfort
When we first met, I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped into one with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock that spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I felt someone holding me close I heard his laugh and knew it was Jake. "Are you laughing at me Jake?" I whispered into his broad chest. Was his chest always this big? I asked myself.
"I would never laugh at your pain Bell. I love you to much to do that." Jake said his voice thick with emotion. "Then why did you laugh?" I asked sleepily.
"I laughed because I was remembering the time I kissed you at first beach, the day I chased you with the fish remember?" He said still laughing.
I smiled at him softly. I was fighting sleep and it was winning. My eyelids were growing too heavy they closed and I was asleep.
The next thing I heard was Charlie's voice booming. "Jake, What the hell happened to my baby girl?!" I heard him half yell half whisper.
"It was that blood suc- Edward Cullen. He told her he was leaving and just left her in the forest". Jake said through clenched teeth.
"I am just glad you were there to find her. Who knows what would've happened if you weren't there." I thought I heard my dad's voice crack. It made all my raw emotions come up. I began to cry softly. I felt Jake's strong arms encircle me tighter. Then I heard my dad say. "Let me have her Jacob." I felt Jake's hands move and Charlie's replace them.
"Dad I can walk if you need me to." I said instantly regretting it. I didn't think I had the strength to walk up my stairs and go into my room. Charlie struggled but finally managed to get me upstairs and into my room. He tucked me in like he used to during the summers I visited as a kid. I was soon asleep.
I wasn't prepared for what was about to happen. I hadn't had a nightmare since a few weeks after James had tricked and attacked me the pervious spring. I knew I was having a nightmare the second it started because Edward was in the dream. He was angrier and more monster like then I had ever seen him before. His venom soaked teeth were bared in an uncharacteristic snarl. It wasn't the protective angry face I was used to seeing. On the contrary it was the predatory one of my most deep seeded fears. I didn't know who he was attacking at the beginning. Then to my horror I recognized the face of the person as my own. I began to scream and my own screaming woke me. I tried to move but couldn't. That's when I realized someone was on top of me someone very hot.
"Hello?" I called out into the darkness.
"Sorry Bells I don't mean to wake you." A husky voice answered.
"Jake what are you doing here?" I asked in disbelieve. How did he get in here? He couldn't have just walked in the open window.
"I wanted to be near you Bells. I had to make sure you were okay."
"You were lying on me like a pet dog Jake."
He laughed softly. "I am no dog Bella. I am just a guy that loves you and hates to see you upset. I promise I will make you feel whole again just give me time. He said softly.
"I'll try Jake. I can't stay like this forever can I?
"Bella I wasn't meaning now I meant sometime in the future. For now I am going to be here for you for as long as you need me. He pulled me closer then as if to illustrate his point. Soon sleep overtook me and I stayed like that till morning.
