The moon emerged from behind the clouds and showered its translucent light… illuminating the darkness…
A glint of bronze flashed into my vision…
I opened my eyes again expecting to see him standing there in the driveway… but there was nothing there… just the rustling of trees on the far edge of the forest… I must have been seeing things… I tried to convince myself that he wasn't there…
I turned around leaving the window slightly open… and slowly walked back to my bed…
As I lay my head down… I could faintly smell his scent next to me on the sheets… was he really here?... my heart stuttered… I reveled in his scent smiling slightly as another dream illuminated my memories….
BPOV
"Marry Me…", he whispered, his hair tickling my chin as his ear lay close to my chest, listening to me breathing. His skin was warm and sun kissed, his bronze hair glimmering in the sunset as we lay intertwined beneath the trees, the meadow was always beautiful this time of day. The cool spring breeze was sweet with the fragrance of flowers.
My hands roamed down his back, atop his wrinkled grass stained shirt, the feel of his body atop mine made my breathing hitch slightly. We had been close, but not this close.
"But what about the war… what about our families…" my heart always stuttered in my chest whenever he asked me to marry him. This was the 26th time, not that I was keeping count. Most of the time he was playfully trying to get a rise out of me, but today was different. Today the war began overseas in Germany. The prospect of losing him was… I fought back the tears… I could lose him, my love, my best friend.
"You are my life now. Without you, Isabella…" his eyes conveyed what words could never express. I wrapped my arms tightly around him and whispered into his ear, "Yes, make me yours Edward…"
"Bells… BELLA!!!!" I felt two warm hands shaking me awake in my bed. Ugh. Not again…
"Ja-ake…" I groaned, half rolling back into my pillow. The sun was barely rising and I was barely done sleeping…
"I've been having dreams."
My eyes shot open. What?
"Dreams?" Jacob sat back as I repositioned myself, obviously, I was more visibly alert at the mention dreams… "What do you mean Jake?"
"Bells, I've been having dreams, flashbacks, memories….I really can't say what they are. I don't know what they mean. But you are in them. You and that….." He exhaled sharply and shut his eyes to regain control… "you and that doctor who just moved into town… Edwin... Edgar… Edmund… something like that…"
"Edward?"
"Yeah. Whatever… Bells something is happening I feel a big changed coming. The winds are so undecided. What do you know about him, Bells?" He took my hand into his, "What about us?"
My heart broke a little more, until now I couldn't imagine loving anyone else but Jake… things have changed. I have changed. I now know who I belong with. As mysterious as he may be… Edward is my future. "Jake, you know I love you, but I can't keep coming second to whatever is going on in your tribe…"
His eyes shot to mine, full of sadness and regret… "Bells you know that I cant control any of that… it is not my fault… there are some things about us that you just shouldn't know. That you can't know."
I reached out and cupped his face with my hand, "Jake I know, but we are not meant to be together. You deserve so much more than what I could ever give you… I don't know much about Edward, but I feel…"
"Drawn to him…" Jake finished my sentence. I looked to him confused and he smiled slightly… "My dreams remember?"
"Exactly, Jake, I've been having dreams too. About a boy and a girl… I thought it was Edward… but I couldn't be sure. Jake what does this mean… Jake?"
His eyes were trained on the window of my room. Once again, he was listening for something… someone… "Bells, I'm sorry, I have to go… we will talk more later… and PLEASE… please… be safe and rational… listen to your instincts…" and with that he ran out of my bedroom, I could faintly see his figure running towards the forest… Listen to your instincts... what could he possibly mean by that?
