THIS IS NOT MY STORY! It's my bestfriend's. I'm simply posting it for her.
Enjoy! :)
After Holly left, Jacob felt refreshed
After Holly left, Jacob felt refreshed. He had never met someone so confident around a group of people she had never met before. Although he wished she was still there, her presence earlier had made him lighten up. By the end of the night, they had consumed enough beer to allow them to chase each other around the cliff like hooligans. At around 2 am, Sam finally put out the remaining sparks of the once roaring bonfire.
"I think we should call it a night, boys, we don't want a visit from the sheriff." Sam said, his parental instinct coming back into full swing. He had even lightened up after the majority of the people had left and only the pack remained. Jacob strolled out of the woods feeling no pain. The buzz he had from the beer was still prevalent. After turning down a ride from Embry he began his walk home. Taking it slow he replayed the events of the night in his mind; the hug from Emily, Seth getting drenched by a bottle of water, and as soon as he remembered seeing Holly for the first time, he stopped. His heart raced at the thought of her. Her wide smile and bodacious laugh were enough to send him into a trip without narcotics.
He had to see her again; he couldn't resist her.
As he reached his house he felt as if he was heading in the wrong direction. Instantaneously his flesh tore back and he sent himself into a mad dash back in the direction he came in his wolf form. Dashing through forests he made his way to the road that lined the western side of the lake; Highway 7. He knew the Juturna's place was closer to where the road joined the interstate highway; just before where the border of the reserve lay.
He felt his heart race as he saw the outline of the large cottage that rested on the coast of the west side of the lake. It was the only house that close to the border. A light remained in the bay window at the front of the cottage. He moved into the small gathering of trees that lined the beach and traveled closer to the cottage. As he got closer to the house he noticed a small figure sitting on the beach. Jacob quickly determined that it was the person he had came to see; Holly. He watched her for a moment. Her head tilted back as she looked at the stars; Jacob noticed the sparkle of a tear on her cheek. He felt his heart wrench; he wanted to run out and hold her for the moment until she stopped crying. She shivered as a cool breeze ruffled the trees.
"Go inside, Hol, you look freezing." Jacob thought; it took all his restraint to keep him from running onto the beach and curling up beside her.
At that moment, Jacob let out a howl; expecting her to jump and run into the house.
But she didn't budge; she didn't even jump. He saw her look around but she didn't move. Holly remained on the beach; only now she had a smile on her face. It was as if she knew the secret of the wolves in La Push.
"Fine, I'll wait until you go inside then." Jacob thought as he lay down in a bed of leaves that had fallen on the ground beneath him and continued to watch her. After about an hour she finally got up and walked slowly inside; there were no more tear streams on her face. He watched until he saw the light at the back of the house extinguish. Even if it wasn't him that had stopped her from crying; it didn't take away his satisfaction. After he knew she was safe and tucked into her bed, he ran home and into his own bed. For the first night in a long time he fell asleep almost instantly.
And it was the first night since she had left that he didn't dream about Bella.
