That cried in front of her….
The sounds that came from Jacob were sounds I would have never associated with him.
With his happiness.
His sunniness.
.
Jacob Black – my best friend, my sun – was crying.
He gave me a watery smile.
"It's alright Bells. It's just, today was the day…" more tears, a half sob, "mum…"
I held him then.
I held him like he had held me weeks ago when I had broken down.
I held him like he hadn't been held in a long time.
I let him cry, because if anyone deserved to cry, it was him.
Today, it was all about him.
And yet, he still continued to give – he let me feel strong, like my being there could actually help.
Like I was the one keeping him together.
