"I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away"

(Hero- Enrique Iglesias)

Title: You do know how to ride a bike, right?

The hole in my heart felt like it would never heal. My Edward was gone forever, and I had absolutely no traces of him left besides my dead memories. Another heart wrenching sob left my broken body. My bed was colder than ever as I lay alone. My heart would never heal from this. Edward was my everything. He was what gave my life meaning, and without him, I am nothing. My life had no meaning anymore.

Charlie knocked on the door softly before stepping into my room. "Bells, you have got to stop this. You will end up killing yourself if you don't stop. You need to get back out there and see your friends." Charlie's voice filled with concern for me. He was never really good at being that comforting parent, but he tried his best. I wiped my tearstained face.

"What do you want me to do?" My voice was hoarse from crying. He fiddled with his flannel shirt anxiously. In the darkness, I could make out that it was the shirt Renee bought him their first Christmas together.

"I'm sending you to Florida to live with your mother. You can't just keep moping around here." I shot up quickly in my bed, making Charlie jump. It was probably the fastest movement that I have made in months.

"No, I don't want to leave. I love Forks. I'll start seeing my friends again, Dad. I'll go see Jacob right now. I haven't seen him in awhile." Charlie sighed with relief, coming over to my bedside and giving me a hug. I hugged him back softly. He shut my door behind him. It took everything in my body to get out of bed and change into different clothes. I pulled on a grey t-shirt with a blue flannel over it and jeans. I brushed through my dark hair. It looked more dull now than ever.

"Try and have a good time, Bella." Charlie said as he handed me the keys to my truck as I stepped off the last step. I nodded, heading towards my truck, trying my hardest not to slip. The drive to La Push kept my mind occupied from thinking about him.

Jacob had a huge grin on his face as I pulled up to his house. He met me at my door and opened it for me. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes!" He hollered, picking me up in a hug and swinging me around. His body was heated from being a wolf. It was something I wasn't use to yet, but it felt good against my chilled skin. I attempted to laugh, but it wasn't easy to.

"Hey Jake." I managed to get out. He smiled gently at me.

"Let's do something crazy." He said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards his house. He led me into the garage, where two BMX bikes sat. "You do know how to ride a bike, right?" He asked sarcastically. I gave him a slight eye roll.

"Yeah, I do." He pushed the yellow bike towards me. I got on the bike as he got on the red one. "You aren't going to try and kill me are you?" I asked him as we started off towards the forest. Jake's laugh filled the area around us.

"That just depends, what would kill you that already hasn't tried?" I actually managed to get out a real laugh. My heart felt lighter than it did earlier, like a weight had been lifted from it.

"Good point." He smirked at me as we weaved through the trees. It was surprising that I was actually staying on the bike without falling off. We rode through the forest for what felt like hours. Jake was good at making conversation with me, without bringing up something that would hurt my already broken heart. My front tire hit a big rock, sending me flipping over the handle bars and onto the dirt. My head ricocheted off of the moist dirt. Pain from the landing rushed through my body. Jake skidded to a stop and jumped off his bike, racing over to me.

"Jesus, Bella, are you okay?" He asked, helping me sit up. My head was hurting from the landing. I could feel something warm oozing down the side of my face. I knew it was blood the moment I inhaled.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled, looking away from Jake. He laughed softly, pulling off his shirt and wiping the side of my face.

"It's just a little blood, Bella. I'm not going to go crazy or anything." He joked softly. I looked back at him. His chest was even more defined with muscles than it was before his change. His tattoo had stretched from his bicep getting larger. It was easy to say that Jake looked good. I smiled, or at least I believe I smiled, towards him. Jake grinned back towards me, helping me to my feet.

"Thank you." I murmured, hugging him tightly. Jake wrapped his arms around me. The heat warmed my entire body.

"For what?" He whispered softly. I looked up at him. His soft brown eyes met mine.

"Being the sun in the darkness of the moon." I spoke softly, laying my head on his chest. I could feel Jake smile against my hair.

"Anytime." It felt right standing here with Jake. It felt like the world was finally falling back into place. My heart felt as if the pieces were coming back together, ever so slowly. We got back onto the bikes and headed towards his house. It wasn't far from being twilight outside. He helped me into my truck, leaning against the door as he shut it. "See you soon?" He asked. I nodded. He waved as I backed out from his dirt driveway. I waved back to him as I drove away. The hole in my heart stayed sealed as I drove home. I found if I thought about Jake, my heartache went away. I soon found myself thinking about him a lot more each day.

LATER

Days started to pass by quickly. I was finally happy again. Charlie was happy that I wasn't moping around all the time. My friends at school were happy that I was socializing with them again. We started making plans for going to the beach on the first day of summer, which would be coming up soon. Jake was either at my house everyday, or I was at his house. On the weekends, we spent from dawn till dusk together. At night, I'd still have my nightmares, but I kept to myself about them. When Jake wasn't around, I could feel the loneliness slowly start to creep around my aura.

The hole in my heart was completely stitched back together, for the most part. I changed my room from how it was, for a new start. The bed was positioned differently, as was everything else. Charlie and I had painted the walls purple instead of the blue they were. Everything was slowly starting to get better.

The door opened and I could smell Jake's musky scent. He greeted me with a smile and a hug. "Bella, I have something to tell you." He said, sitting on the couch. Charlie was gone for work and it was just us.

"Shoot away." I said, taking a seat next to him on the couch, facing towards him. Jake looked nervous. His fingers trembled as he reached for my hand.

"Bella…" He started off softly. My heart clenched, fearing that he would tell me he's leaving somewhere far away. "I imprinted on you." My heart immediately released the fear it was holding. I didn't have the entire concept of imprinting down packed, but I had a fairly good idea of how it worked. I knew if I was a wolf, I would have imprinted long ago, but I'm not sure it would work since vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies.

"Is that good or bad?" I asked him, apprehensively. His eyes filled with anxiousness as he grabbed my hand tighter in his large, warm ones.

"It depends. Are you ready to let go of your past and pursue a relationship with me?" Jake asked, nervously. I had to admit, it was quite adorable seeing Jacob so nervous. His eye brows wrinkled with his anticipation. My heartbeat raced as thoughts swarmed my mind. Was I really ready to let go of Edward? I grimaced at thinking his name, but it didn't make me cringe in pain.

Jake was absolutely amazing, and always there for me. It was easy to come to an answer. My nerve built up as I pulled him by his shirt, closer to me. Our lips met with a fiery passion. I took him by surprise, that was sure, but it wasn't long before he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. His warm skin on mine felt amazing. It sent tingles through my entire body. When our lips met, it sent a feeling of shock through me. I didn't expect it to feel so…..right. It seems like the only person it would feel right with was Edward. With Jake, it felt so natural.

He laid down on the couch, pulling me into his arms. Casually, he turned on the T.V. I don't know how long we laid there for; seconds, minutes, hours? I just know it felt like everything on Earth was how it was meant to be. I felt as if all the planets and stars had aligned and everything was perfect once again.

The door opened and I could make out the sound of Charlie and Billy. Charlie must have picked up Billy after he got off of work. I looked at Jake for an answer on what to do. He shrugged, not moving at all, while I squirmed to get up. He held me tightly, keeping me from getting out of his arms. Billy rolled into the living room, stopping next to the couch with a creak. He smiled at Jake and I. His tan skin had very defined laugh lines and it showed wisdom written all over his face.

"I always knew." He laughed, knowingly. Charlie came in the living room, surprised to see Jake and I how we were, but he looked happy. My heart beat was fast as I examined over there faces again, looking for any signs of disapproval.

"Surprise?" I asked, looking at him nervously. Charlie laughed, his gruff, husky laugh and just shook his head.

"It's a good surprise. I'm happy for you Bells." I grinned at him. Charlie and Billy went into the kitchen, probably pulling out fish for dinner. Jake squeezed me softly. I smiled to myself and turned to face him on the couch. He kissed my lips gently, sending that same shock through my body. My life was finally being put back together.
