ok... no more dreams for a while... but lots o fluff... im in a good mood so expect it to be fluffier later too!!!
After my morning jog, I grabbed a fresh cup of coffee and sat down at the table to read the morning news. Yeah, I acted so grown up. But hey, if I was starting school soon, I was going to have to be up to date on almost everything. I wondered if Jacob knew anyone at Forks High. Probably not. He probably didn't get off the rez that often.
My day went really slow, nothing really going on. Mom went out after waking up. And I just sat around the house watching tv. My phone buzzed a couple times, telling me I had texts, but I ignored them, knowing they would either be my friends asking if I got there safe and if I was having any fun, or my ex, who took it upon himself to try and watch my every move. I swear, if it wasn't for the fact that he was drop dead gorgeous, I would probably have never went out with him in the first place.
That night, I had a recap of the dream I had the night before, but with changes. Every now and then, everyone would age, and quickly. And Quil and Embry were there too. I woke up in a cold sweat, at 4 am, and lay back down at 5. Sleep overtook me quick and was peaceful this time.
I woke up Friday morning bored out of my mind. The day before made me realize that even though I didn't enjoy the thought of hanging out with people, I just might have to do it so I don't die of boredom. I decided to call Jacob, but I didn't know if he would be awake at 7 in the morning. He didn't seem like a morning person.
I put on my jogging outfit, so that I would have an excuse if he wasn't awake, and went outside. Once across the street, I snaked around to the backyard and looked in the windows. The first one led into the living room area, but the second led into a small bedroom. The bed was tiny, and I didn't see how Jacob would fit in it, so I went to the third window. It was frosted over, seeing as it was the bathroom. I was just about to go around the corner when I heard something breathing behind me.
"Get lost during your run?" A husky voice whispered in my ear. I jumped a mile, almost literally, and Jacob caught me when I came back down. He was laughing, his eyes sparkling (AN the only thing that should SPARKLE is eyes!!!) so I punched him in the chest. He didn't seem to feel it, but he got the idea that I wanted down. "So, should I call you stalker now?" He teased.
"Let's go with I got lost. It's more believable." I blushed. "I was really just going to see if you were awake. I wanted to do something today. I figured if you weren't, I would go on a run, then wake you up to do stuff." I admitted sheepishly.
"Awww, I have my own little stalker. Just wait till everyone hears about this." He laughed again. I went to punch him, but he ducked away and ran over to the other side of his yard. I chased after him, even though I knew he was too fast for me. I got almost within tackling distance, and he ran off the other way. We continued like this, sometimes him letting me get closer, sometimes him not letting me near at all, for about an hour, before I fell over onto the soft grass, exhausted.
"You… really… suck… you… know… that?" I gasped out when he came over to see if I was ok. He sat down next to me.
"Yeah. Come's with the territory I guess."
"Hey look, a ballet dancer." I pointed into the clouds. He lay down next to me.
"And there's a wolf." He said. I just sat there for a few moments, contemplating my next move. Finally I sat up, and pinned him to the ground, using my knees and full body weight to my advantage. He didn't see it coming, and his face was priceless with shock.
"Pinned you, I win." I punched him lightly in the jaw. He was still shocked, but that seemed to bring him out of it. He grabbed my shoulders and swiftly flipped me over so he was sitting on top of me, using little or no body weight at all. "Fine. You win. This time."
"So that means there will be a next time." He smiled. I rolled my eyes.
"So does that mean we can get out of this position? I'm kinda thirsty. And I'm getting bored again."
"You weren't kidding when you said you can't stay in one place for long, were you." I shook my head, my hair spraying little droplets of water that hit him in the face. I never knew why my hair took three hours to dry. "Well then, let's go get some water and we can figure out what to do today."
"Um, is Billy home?" I asked, following him inside after wiping my backside from grass.
"Yeah he is. Did you want to talk to him early?" He gave me knowing eyes.
"Well, I was figuring it wouldn't hurt. I also had a question for you about something that happened last night."
"What's that?" He filled two glasses with water, downed his, handed me mine, then downed another glass full.
"Well, when we were four, on Halloween, do you remember a sleepover here?"
"Kinda. For some reason that memory is the foggiest. Why?"
"I had a dream about it. There were ten of us total. And we all kinda had a pair off deal going. Except for Jazzy and Jacob. And there was a big storm. One that made Luna and Aster almost fly off."
"Oh yeah. And Jacob slipped in the mud."
"And I jumped after him and almost got lost there." His eyes glazed over, and then became sadder. "But then I heard your voice. I didn't realize I was so close. You and Jazzy helped me upstairs, but Jazzy had to leave because of the blood."
"Yeah. You must have gotten scraped when you fell in the mud."
"But you stayed by me. And of course, you blamed yourself." His eyes were showing a little bit of pain, but mostly sadness. "You still blame yourself, don't you?" He looked away. "It's been twelve years. I had totally forgotten it. I'm over it, why can't you be?"
"Because I almost lost my best friend. Then that thanksgiving I did lose her. I guess when your dad is a lawyer, you get legal documents pushed through quicker."
"Jacob." I grabbed his chin and even though he didn't have to move if he didn't want to, I forced him to look at me. "I watched that night through something else's eyes. I saw how worried you were, but I also saw that you were ready to jump out to get me if you had to. Not only that, but instead of freaking out completely, you gave me all your best candy that night. After I stole half mine from Butterfly. You were there for me. It was my fault for jumping after him, but your fault for saving me. If you want to blame anything on yourself, blame yourself for me not getting blown away by the wind." I stared into his eyes the entire time I spoke, neither of us breaking eye contact, not even with blinking. Finally, after my long speech, we heard a creaking in the hallway. We pulled away from each other, and I set the glasses in the sink. Billy rolled himself around the corner.
"Rose. It's so nice to see you. I thought I wouldn't see you until tomorrow."
"Well, I was bored, so I thought I would see what Jake was up to. Then he suggested that I might be able to talk to you a bit early. Since we're both in the same place?" I asked. He smiled and rolled himself out to the living room. We both followed, sitting on the couch. He rolled himself in front of the couch. Suddenly I remembered Jake talking about him 'sitting' down and talking to me. I hid a giggle, but Jake caught it and smiled.
"So what did you want to know?" Billy asked.
