Chapter 2- Velvet

I wake up with something heavy on my left shoulder. I look down to and see a sound asleep Jake. I look at his clock on the bedside and it says 8:30pm. When did I get here anyway? I take out my phone to check when the time I called my mom was and find out it was at 1:04pm, we've been sleeping for 7 hours!! He must be hungry.

Now I'm just looking at the fan on the wall while Jacob sleeps. I wonder when he will wake up. I wonder what he's dreaming about or who he's dreaming about.

After about 15 minutes of comfortable silence Jake starts to slur and finally wake up. He puts his left hand on the bed on my right side for support as he uses the other hand as the same but the other side. He takes his head off my shoulder and looks at me. He actually looks like he was a beam of happiness and then it falls. He remembers the wedding. That damn Bella thinks she could just send an invite to Jake like that, I swear she will not get the end of me or the pack.

"Leah, I'm kind of hungry." He says that makes me remember when we used to be 7 years old again and that makes me smile.

"Okay so lets go in the kitchen and eat because my mom made Frybead and Beans. I say while we both get up.

I start walking to the hallway when I find Jake still in his room looking at the ground to stare off in space. I walk back to him and grab his hand and walk both of us to kitchen to sit him in the kitchen table chair.

After heating up the food I put the beans on one half of the round frybead and pull the empty half over it like a taco. I put it on a plate and sit the food in front of Jake. He looks at me sheepishly/sadly then talks.

"Sorry but I eat it with cheese and I don't think we have any."

I laugh a little before answering. "Yeah so do I. Is it okay for me to go down the street the gas station to go get one? Or do you want me to stay with you right now?"

Once again I'm pulled into a hug in a nanosecond. At first I feel very uncomfortable sitting in his lap but then I get used to it because I know he means no harm. After about 3 minutes I hear Jake speak again.

"Yeah now it's okay to go but don't be too long though" he says in a sad voice.

I check my pocket and find my money still in there; I thought it fell out, oh well. I'm walking on the sidewalk now and see a black car go by but don't really look up and keep walking. I start to think about Jake and him being the new pack leader. I know he said he just felt tied down with not being the pack leader but there as to be more. Was his being tied down really that bad? I look up and see that I'm already at the gas station so I step in and find the cheese and get 2 Dr. Pepper's too. I go up to pay and when the guy was scanning the items I see the black car from earlier speed off. Um, that's kind of weird. I walk to the house again but when I get in the driveway I see tire skid marks, then I remember the black car. I drop the bad and run into the house to see a broken lamp and a shattered chair on the living room floor, but how did the kitchen chair get into the living room? After my question I see 4 glasses fly next to the shattered chair. That's how the chair got in here.

I run into the kitchen in my werewolf speed and find Jacob with tears in his eyes holding a knife in his hand and was about to slice a line on his wrist, I run to him and grab the sharp part of the knife and feel it go into my palm in a line from the friction. Still holding the knife I feel pain rise in my hand but don't find the will to speak. Then I feel liquid in my hand and see velvet run down to my elbow and drip to the wooden floor. Jacob was the first to recover from the shock and pulls his arms around my waste and carries me to the sink and turns the knob to see pouring water come from the silver tube. He opens my hand and the knife falls to the bottom of the sink with some more velvet liquid. Pulled to the water I feel my hand throb but I'm still not in speaking mode. I start to see the skin build a web and then it soon clears as if anything ever happened.

"Jacob, what happened?" I ask while spinning around and still see tears stream from his eye's but when I ask, tears start to pour from Jacob's eyes.

"Bella came….I asked why, why she was marrying him… I told her I loved her but she just told me it was a mistake to have. I they to talk to her but she didn't want anything to do with me." He said.

"Leah, I want it to stop. I want the pain to stop." He sobs and I hold him again while he cries.

He wants the pain to stop. I think I know the way to make it stop.
