After the arrival of Sam, it kind of got me thinking. Where was Jacob? Maybe he was in his house but was just sleeping or something, Sam said he was tired. I couldn't help but wonder. I turned to go inside after he left stopping when Renesmee's face appeared from behind the wall. I could tell she knew everything Sam and herself were talking about. She looked at me with bright, big eyes. I couldn't help but smile to her as I walked closer.
"Mom, please let me go. Pleeeaaassee?" She begged. How could I say no to that. I had to, Edward would get extremely upset if I let her go. I shook my head no.
"I'm sorry, I really am but your father won't let me do that honey." I hesitated.
"Dad won't let me do anything. Please? How would you like to be forced against your will by your parents to not see dad. I've heard the stories mom and I know what happened when he ran away. But Jacob isn't far away like dad was. Let me go see him." She begged once more.
"No, I can't." I answered, looking down. " Its only for your protection dear."
"Common mom even you don't believe that." She was right, I didn't but I couldn't give in.
"No is a no sweetie I'm sorry." I sighed, looking back up into her watering eyes. I remembered the pain she was going through all too well. How she felt and what she was going through.
"Can you go then?" She asked, about to cry. I nodded and pulled her into a hug. "Don't cry sweetie this will all be over soon enough, trust me. I have a feeling." I told her as she sobbed into my shoulder. I pulled back and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Renesmee nodded and also wiped some away.
"Alright. Go then. Please. Let me know what happens. I want to know." Renesmee told me.
"Yes darling, I promise I will." I smiled before jumping off the balcony onto the ground before running off into the woods. Hey I did feel like a show off but it was alright.
-:A mere few minutes later:-
As the Black house came into view I noticed something. It was very dark inside there. That was odd for Jacob to just leave all the lights off. This worried me. I flew right up the stairs and started pounding on the door as hard as I could without breaking it. The stench of Jake was defiantly there, meaning he was there also. Somewhere. I peered into the window to see nothing. I pounded on the door before stopping short after hearing a groan so low human ears would never be able to comprehend the sound.
"Jacob?" I called loudly, moving my hand to the door knob. Surprisingly it turned and I walked right in. I should have known. Seth was never the one for just storming into Jake's house. I peaked my head inside and stepped into the doorway, turning my head every which way. [b]"Jake? Where are-"[/b] Then I saw a sight that would have made my heart stop if I were a human. Jacob's weak and non-responding figure lay stretched out along the ground. I gasped and flew to his side, letting my jittery and nervous hands scalped his figure.
[b]"Jacob! Jacob? Are you ok, what happened?"[/b] I said nervously. He didn't speak, his body didn't move. It was almost as if he was already dead. [b]"Oh my god..Jake!?"[/b] I shouted, realizing something that made me gasp from relief. A heartbeat showed faintly around him like a glowing aroma. I shook his shoulder and another whoosh of relief spread around me. His dark brown, wary eyes looked into mine. I mimicked a shy and fake smile toward him. Jake's eyes flickered around half closed and ended in a rumble of coughs.
[b]"B-bella. Wha-what-"[/b] He started to say through coughs. I stopped him quickly and scooped him up into my arms.
[b]"Don't speak."[/b] I ordered, running out of the house as I shut the door with my foot and started toward where Carlisle was. He would be the only one to help him. I looked down to Jacob. His eyes were closed and shallow breathes escaped from his chest to each rhythmic bounce of my steps , echoing in my head eagerly. I whispered to him that it would be ok, mostly for my own comfort. Jacob groaned and let his head flop to one side as I reached the Cullen household. I flew up the steps and opened the door carefully but quickly with my hand, allowing myself inside.
[b]"CARLISLE!"[/b] I shouted as the screeched bounced through the halls. I took Jacob and layed him on the couch as a familiar pale face came to my side. It was Carlisle who let a gasp escape from his lips. Jacob moaned, which was more of a torchered breathe. I moved out of the way and let Carlisle step in. He looked up to me with confusion filled eyes and asked me the question only I knew the answer to.
"Bella, What happened?" He asked. I knew that answer, I knew it all to well. He was sick because of me, because of us. Renesmee was no longer in his life and now Bella possibly had to watch her best friend close his eyes forever and his exhilarating chest finally come to a stop. Bella felt herself wishing she could cry, to relieved the pain.
"I…Don't…Know…" I gasped, looking down to Jacob, who had his eyes open. He was staring up at the ceiling, his head moving back and forth slowly with gasps. His heart was pounding to hard as his body started going into convolutions, I turned my body into another one with arms wide open as if they had been waiting for me for a life time. I let myself dry sob into the chest. I couldn't bare to watch as the arms tightened around my body.
Pain. There was much pain.
But I knew that
was only the beginning…
