Prom Night
Jacob heard of her used to be pending death and he held her closer than he usually does.
Reed coughed, "Jake you're suffocating me."
"Oh sorry," and he quickly let go and kissed her lips.
"You make me so happy Jacob Black," Reed smiled and pecked his temple softly.
Jacob huffed, "I know."
Then he slipped her corsage on her wrist and Reed smiled widely and pinned her flower on him and she pricked him.
Reed laughed, "Oh I am sorry," and they chuckled for a few seconds.
"Lets go," Jacob said and led her out of the house with Reed's arm draped around his.
They drove up in his old beat up truck and yet it still made perfect sense for Reed to drive up in. They entered the prom and the lights were down low and lights strobed everywhere and there was even a DJ spinning some tracks. Even Bella was there with her broken leg when she went on the "spur" of the moment trip to Phoenix. Edward and Alice told Reed the whole traumatizing situation and Reed scolded Bella for believing James. It was kind of stupid and non-common sense of her. It seems like even Bella's brain is klutzy. How tragic?
A slow song sprung up and everyone grabbed their dates or friends and latched on to each other. Jacob surprisingly spun Reed around and grabbed her fastly to himself to where she barely had any wiggle room. His hand wrapped around her waist and he held her hand as she laid her left hand behind the nape of his neck. Jacob shuttered from her cold hands and Reed lightly smiled up at him. Even in her six inch heels Reed was still shorter than the five feet and nine inches of Mr. Long Hair Stud. He thought that she looked dazzlingly in her lily purple dress with white accents, and she loved how he matched her white accents with a white tux and pants. It seemed to magical to conjure up in Reed's mind, but she was there enjoying her boyfriend's touch.
Jake suddenly pulled away and said, "My dad said to say something to Bella so can I go slow dance with her real quick."
"Sure Jacob I am not your wife you know," Reed joked and nudged him towards Bells.
Jacob replied, "Not yet anyway."
Reed playfully rolled her eyes at him and tapped Edward's shoulder and Edward grimaced, but nodded his head yes and he came towards Reed.
In his velvety voice he asked, "May I have this dance?"
"Of course Edward, anything for my best friend's man."
Edward swept her up in a hurry and chuckled at her comment and they began waltzing around everyone.
Reed muttered, "Show off."
"Hey I cannot do this with Bella," Edward glared at her, "besides somehow with her klutz thing it would somehow make me trip."
Reed grinned, "Probably yeah," and they kept dancing finally at a standstill, "be nice to Jacob."
"Why?" Edward eyed Reed.
"He's only turned sixteen Mr. Ninety-Year Old and he means no harm.
Edward snorted and was about to say something when Emmett tapped Edward's shoulder.
"May I," he asked Edward and also gave him a look if he said no he would deal with him later.
Edward puckered and replied, "No need to be hasty brother, my lady awaits me anyway."
Emmett ha ha'd Edward and wrapped both of his arms around Reed's hips and she did the same except around his neck. He was decked out in a special tailored all white tuxedo too.
"Alice told you, didn't she?" Reed asked with her lips in an annoyed pout.
Emmett softened his face, "Yeah, sorry about that."
"You're not sorry so apology not accepted," Reed gritted back.
"Why are you like this?" Emmett hissingly whispered in her ear.
Reed began to tear up, "Because you left me here to rot."
"I thought it would be best," Emmett tried to explain.
"Well you thought wrong Emmett," Reed jerked away and fast walked out of the building and sat down on the bench by the bayside window that is covered by a huge rose bush.
Emmett sulking walked up to Reed and sat down next to her and she buried her face inside his tux jacket instead out of it. Reed cried and Emmett stroked her curls in comfort.
Emmett murmured, "I promise Reed that I will never leave you again."
"Good because without I'll die," Reed sniffled.
"I know my darling minion," Emmett said and kissed her forehead in such a loving manner that Reed realized she needed him and she wanted all of him.
Reed kissed him suddenly on the lips and even though he wanted to roll his tongue over them and he pulled Reed away and steadied himself on saying, "Reed you have a boyfriend."
Her right hand patted her face in a way as if what-are-you-doing and Reed quivered, "I know I do, but I-I-I just don't know."
Emmett asked, "Don't know what?"
"If I should like you are not, Stud," Reed admitted and in a perplexed manner added, "and I think I should change your pet name."
With a coy face Emmett expressed, "To what?"
"To Bear, because that is what you remind me of," Reed declared and smiled widely, "like a polar bear sweet usually, but when provoked of its loved ones is deadlier than anything."
"Makes sense," Emmett shrugged his shoulders and in a gentleman manner smooched the apple of her cheek, "thanks Shiloh I like this name way better than Stud."
"Me too Bear me too," Reed sighed and he led her back into the dance where Jacob looked relieved to find Reed okay.
Jacob strode up to her and grasped her arm lovingly and kissed her lips and said quickly, "Thank God you're okay," and then he glared at Emmett who rolled his eyes and went back to where Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie were sitting.
Reed ran her fingers through Jake's hair and slow danced with him even though there was a fast song playing, but she heard Jacob sung beautifully her favorite slow song in her ear
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
At the end Reed kissed his lips and Jacob embraced her tighter and he said, "I love you Reed Morrison, I truly love you."
One tear rolled down her cheek and she replied back with, "You don't how long I've loved you Jacob Black."
Jacob laughed and picked her and swung her in the air and they kissed. A perfect ending to a wonderful night, well at least for Jacob.
