"Jacob!" Edward called. He was surrounded by a black forrest. He had followed Jacob's scent this far and then it just ...vanished. "Dammit Jacob I know you can hear me.
Leave me alone Edward.
"Jacob! Come out now. I need to talk to you. It's about Renesmee." He could hear noice not to far away and he knew that Jacob could see him. His scent was becoming stronger and Edward began in the general direction. "I know you care about her Jacob. She needs you."
No, like Bella said, she's better off without me.
"Jacob, Bella was upset when she said that. We both know she didn't mean it."
Yeah you didn't have to see your daughter digging a knife into her arm because of you.
"And you didn't have to see my daughter cry and sob in agony because of you. You're not alone Jacob. No one blames you for your imprint. To be honest, I'm glad it's you. I'm happy to know that you will be with Renesmee forever. I trust you, Bella trusts you, and Renesmee trusts you."
Trust and love are two different things.
"But you can't have love without trust." Silence.
"But she doesn't love me." Jacob approached in his human form.
"I know you saw her at the airport just as clearly as I did Jacob. She does love you."
"She just didn't want me to leave."
"No she does love you. I can see it. She just doesn't know how to truly express it to you. And to be truthful, you never stick around long enough for her to show you either."
"I'm just...scared. I don't want to be rejected."
"It's only natural to be afraid of rejection. It's a typcial human reaction." Jacob threw him a knowing glance, "And as we both know, neither of us are 'typical'. But still, be that as it may she does love you and you need to trust that. Trust yourself more so Jacob."
"Ok Edward. I don't fully trust myself yet. But I'm trusting you."
