Chapter 9
Emily rushed to where I was frozen still by the door. She embraced me in a hug. "It'll all work out," Emily whispered in my ear.
I felt Sam's warm touch on my shoulder. "We're here for you and Jacob. We always will be. Good to have you back, Bella," Sam said.
I walked over to the couch and sat down in between Jacob and Emily. I put my arm around Jacob. I need him, and he needed me.
We all sat in silence, tears streaming down our sad faces.
We all looked up when we heard Seth speak. "Can I say something?" Seth asked us.
He obviously didn't need our approval to go on, because he started talking again right away. "As most of you know, my dad died from a heart-attack not long ago. Its been really hard on my family, but we're coping. I'd just like to tell Jacob that we know what you're dealing with, and we'll be here for you," Seth said. He looked a little embarrassed as he sat down on the kitchen chair, that had been pulled in here for more space.
Jacob got up from the couch, sobbing. He went to where Seth was sitting. "Thanks man," Jacob said giving the now crying Seth a hug.
I sat next to Jake, holding him tight, for what I thought was hours. I was falling in love with him again, and there was nothing I could do to stop my love for him.
As I sat there hugging him, it occurred to me that Edward was probably at the hotel room, having a freaking heart-attack. How could I do this to the one I love? But I love both of them. Edward or Jake?
