"I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh"

A/N: You guys need to start reviewing my stories, I'm not feeling like I'm doing a good job and not feeling the love. So many people read it but there are no reviews! To be honest, it is bumming me out! So please start reviewing if you want me to continue this.

Title: Coming Home

The week in Jacksonville passed quickly, which I didn't like very much. Jake was disappointed that we had to leave so soon, and Renee promised him that she would come visit during Fall break. Our flight back was the same as the one coming in, so we had some time to spend with Renee and Phil before we had to leave. Phil, of course, was fast asleep while Renee was buzzing through the kitchen fixing a big breakfast. I haven't moved an inch from when I first woke up. Leaving the comfort of Jake's arms almost seemed like a crime.

"Good mornin'" He said softly, stretching his arms above his head. He held me thorough the entire night, just like it had been for this entire week. "I don't wanna leave." He pouted. I couldn't contain my giggles when I looked back at his jutted out lip. It reminded me of a toddler who just got told no.

"She will come visit. I'm going to miss her." I sighed, turning to face him. His lips were warm on my cheek, comforting me in simplest way. Jake was able to fix anything that was broken with me. His eyes were gentle, full of adoration and love. I think even a blind person would be able to see how much love we shared.

"Oh garsh!" He chuckled, sitting up quickly. "It smells soooooo good!" Before I could blink, Jake was heading towards the door. He had an appetite that could feed 8 full grown men. Renee commented on that once this week at lunch. She was happy because it helped her with her cooking skills, and she vaguely joked about becoming the next Martha Stewart.

"I never want to leave." Jake's deep laugh came drifting back up the stairs. I could hear Renee's light laughter blend with his. Cautiously, I made my way down the stairs. I would be the one to get hurt before a plane ride. Renee had a full feast prepared for us, causing my jaw to drop in shock.

"You do know we are only two people, right?" I shook my head, joining Jake at the table, who was stuffing his face with biscuits and gravy. It was true; Renee's cooking had improved so much in the week that we had been with her. She must have picked up on a couple things from me; like adding milk when mixing the eggs.

"I just wanted to cook a nice meal for you guys before you had to go." She said, her voice tight. I could see the tears brimming in her eyes and my heart sunk. Quickly, I jumped out my seat to wrap her in a hug. My mom, even though she was crazy, meant the entire world to me. I don't know what I would do without her. She's always been my best friend. At least she would be visiting in a few months, without Phil. I'm sure Charlie would be happy to see her. Her tears hit my bare shoulder as we embraced.

"It won't be long." I said softly, hugging her close one last time before sitting back down to finish the lovely meal she had made. She laughed, wiping her eyes and joining us at the table. Jacob squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"We will only be a phone call away." He grinned his famous Jacob grin before he took another bite of his food. Renee smiled at him in response.

"My cooking will suck once you guys leave!" Renee whined, putting her fists down on the table in protest. "You know, the schools here are really good." She winked. I couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't think Charlie would like it if we went MIA. Besides, Jake belongs in La Push, Mom." She sighed in defeat. A sly grin crept onto Jacob's face. I cocked an eyebrow at him with interest.

"Billy would throw a fit if we didn't come back." He chuckled, shaking his head. I nodded in agreement.

"I miss Billy! He was so nice to Charlie and I when we first got married. Give him my greetings?" Renee asked, her eyes filling with happiness at the memories. Jacob smiled, happy to oblige her. The rest of breakfast passed fairly quiet. Jake and I had packed our bags last night and we were set to leave for the airport at 10:30. I knew I wouldn't be able to hold my tears back once we went through our terminal.

Renee walked close to us the entire time. She held my hand tightly. I couldn't imagine how hard it is for her, having her only daughter live so far away, but she has Phil to keep her occupied. Sometimes, he seems like a real jerk to her. Hopefully, he makes her as happy as she says. We reached the check point and quickly turned to embrace each other. The airport was not busy, surprisingly. The beeping sounds of people passing through metal detectors was the only sound that was really noticeable.

"Bye mom, I love you." I said, smiling at her one last time before grabbing Jake's hand and heading towards our checkpoint. The lump in my throat ate away at me, but I didn't want to cry while she was still here. I wanted to stay strong in front of her, to ease her pain. I could her Renee's sobs as we passed through the metal detectors. She waved back at me one last time before we rounded the turn into our plane. As soon as we sat in our seats, I couldn't hold my tears any longer. Jake stroked my hair softly as I cried into his chest. No words needed to be said to understand why I was upset. I knew it would pass and that it was silly; we wouldn't be apart forever. Feeling exhausted from crying, I succumbed into sleep quick into the flight.

Forks, Washington.

The lush green trees were a comforting sight to see. The gray clouds and rainy skies were home for us. I didn't realize how much I actually missed Forks while we were gone. Charlie was beaming from the front of the cruiser, with Billy at his side. The two goofs were so excited that we were back, and drilling us with nonstop questions. I could only wonder what two old men were doing up so late?

"How is Renee doing?" Billy asked from the front seat of the cruiser. I laughed.

"Eccentric as ever," I laughed. "She said to tell you two hello and to come visit soon." Charlie beamed, and I could practically hear his heart flutter. It made me sad that he was still so in love with her, but she broke his heart. Secretly, I hoped something would happen between her and Phil and she would come back to her true love. Billy laughed.

"What did you think, Jake?" Charlie asked, looking back at us through his rear view mirror. Jake grinned.

"She's awesome. I invited her to come over Fall break." Charlie grinned back at him. Billy laughed, rolling his eyes.

"That week is sure to be fun." I said, leaning into Jake's side. One thing I hadn't missed about Forks was how cold it was. Even for August, it was chilly. Billy's truck was parked at Charlie's familiar house, and sadness overcame me. For the first time in a week I wouldn't be able to fall asleep in Jake's arms. He noticed my change in mood and pulled me close.

"I'll see you first thing in the mornin'. I promise." He whispered into my hair as I hugged him tightly. "I love you." We shared a short, sweet kiss as he helped his Dad into their truck. Charlie and I waited for them to leave before going into the house. It was actually clean.

"I see you've been busy." My eyes must have been wide. Charlie laughed, clearly embarrassed.

"I had to try my hand at cleaning while you were gone. Didn't want you chewing me out for socks left in the living room when ya got back." He laughed, giving me an awkward one-armed hug before heading upstairs to his room. I followed his idea and let my jet lagged body collapse on my bed, exhaustion overcoming me quickly.

Morning

When I awoke in the morning, I found a very pleasant surprise waiting for me. Jake looked at me anxiously from the rocking chair next to my bed. His smile was bright when I rolled over, grabbing his hand. He pulled me into his lap.

"Good morning beautiful." He grinned. I smiled sleepily. "This is the last weekend before school." I groaned, curling into him. "Not what you wanted to hear, I know." He laughed. I smiled and stretched in his arms. It made me so happy to see him here first thing in the morning, just like he promised. That was something about Jake; he would never break his promise. My body still felt so exhausted, and when I looked at the clock, I understood why. It was only four in the morning.

"Lemme sleep you crazy, nocturnal wolf." I moaned, turning back on my side. Jake's laugh was loud and I realized Charlie must be out fishing.

"Sleep, my Bella." I could hear the smile in his voice as I fell back into my deep slumber.
