I couldn't sleep, and I knew that so many people explaining why they had a bad night sleep used that phrase, but I meant it literally, I didn't sleep, at all. I went to bed at nine at night and after lying awake for 5 hours I decided to get up. I went to the bathroom and took 2 tablespoons of cold medicine. Then I went back to bed. I knew that I should not have taken them at two; I meant that I would not wake up for at least 8 hours, but I was just too tired.
"Bella! Bella! Bella!" I groaned, what was Jacob doing here? "Bella honey, can you open your eyes?" I groaned again, but listened to him and opened my eyes.
"Jake? What are you doing here?"
"Bella, it is 11 on a Thursday morning, I was coming to pick you put for school, but you were asleep. So I just watched T.V, but then you started screaming, like really loud. Are you alright?" I hadn't realized I was screaming in my sleep again. But I remembered having that dreams again, that one where I was searching for something but realized there was nothing to be looking for. But it was different this time there was still nothing to be searching for but there was someone walking with me, a child. The child looked like myself, but like Jacob also. But whenever I looked at this child I was hit with a wall of guilt, why I didn't know. I wasn't looking for Jacob though, I was looking for someone else, I was looking for Edward. There were words filling my head though throughout the dream, the voice kept saying, "A stand in, a replacement, that's what you thought of me, right?" It was haunting.
"Jake I am fine, just sometimes I had nightmares, bad ones."
"When did this start?"
"I haven't had them for so long. I used to have them when… when Edward broke up with me. They stopped when I started going out with you. It doesn't matter, its nothing."
"Bella? Are you alright?"
"Yeah I just couldn't sleep last night. I took some cold medicine to help me sleep, that is why it was so hard to wake me up"
"You don't look so good, here let me help you up." He said sliding his arm underneath me, helping me sit up. Once I was sat up a roll of nausea hit me, I jumped off an ran to the bathroom vomiting loudly in the sink.
"Bella, are you sick?" Jacob asked whilst holding my hair back. Of course I am sick, I wanted to snap back but I knew that he meant did I have a stomach bug.
"No, this happens every morning."
"Really? That is not healthy. Maybe we should get you to a doctor or something." But just as he said that there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." I mumbled and walked down the stairs, yanking the door open. I don't know who I was expecting, who I was looking to find at the door, but whatever I was, it was not this person. I felt my eyes widen and jaw drop, I couldn't believe it, it was Edward. And then everything went black.
He is back, he is back, he is back! Yay for Edward and Bella!
