I was given this prompt:

Let's not fight
I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
don't turn away
it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around
I know we're lost but soon we'll be found.

Sia - Soon we'll be found

N o t. T o n i g h t.

They both breathe heavily, lying on the kitchen floor – Jacob only in his shorts and Bella still covered in many layers of clothing, the raincoat still shining with little droplets.

Neither of them know really how they ended up laying there, Bella cuddled into Jacob's side, arms wrapped around him, cheek on his heaving chest.

Another fight. Always fights these days. Waste of the scarce and precious minutes Jacob got to share with Bella now that her fiancé controlled whom she could see and who not.

It made Jacob sick. But Bella would not understand. And that made him even angrier.

Usually, their afternoons together these days ended with Bella storming off towards the treaty line on her own, Jacob long having given up following her. He would just have to face more of her death-stares and his bad conscious.

But tonight… had been different.

She had entered his kitchen not with her usual smile but already with an anger-filled fury in her eyes, yelling at Jacob, waving her arms, screaming and throwing words at him he never even knew she had knowledge of.

He had countered. Of course he had. She tried to blame him for something she called her own indecisiveness and somehow they had ended up tussling, pushing against each other.

And then the world had gone silent.

They were both so tired. Weary.

Realization hit them that they wasted what little time they were given. And with a sigh they released all the tension that could never be lessened by pushing and screaming and running away.

Jacob carefully brushes a strand of her out of Bella's eye and she smiles weakly up at him. Weakly, but honestly.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, closing her eyes.

Billy finds the two of them sleeping on the kitchen floor later than afternoon, smiling sadly before quickly leaving the house again.

Just for tonight they would have a little bit of peace.
