I paced around my room, anxiously biting my nails and chewing on my lip. I'd applied lip gloss around eight times within one hour because I was constantly eating the stuff!. I was so nervous and I had no idea why. I mean, Jacob was my best friend, the one person I could be myself around and...the one person I was hopelessly in love with.
Crap.
I walked back and forth past my window, desperately wanting to see a pair of headlights coming my way. I knew he would be here soon as he never let me down. My heart began racing ten to the dozen, my palms were sweating beyond belief. I constantly checked to see that my hair was still in place, I had no pimples, and that my makeup was not streaky or patchy.
A few minutes later I heard the sound that made my heart jump out my chest. I bolted off the edge of my bed and went a little way towards my window; I didn't immediately run downstairs because I didn't want him to think I was some sort of over excited, clingy potential girlfriend. I saw his rabbit parked up just off our driveway, but he wasn't in the driver's seat; he must be on the porch.

I pulled up outside Bella's house and sat in the car for a moment trying to sort my shit out. Fucking hell Jake, you're a man, act like one!. I quickly checked myself one last ,all fine. After grabbing her book, I climbed out the car and shut the door. I took a quick glance up to her room and smiled when I saw the light was on.
I jumped the steps on the porch and landed with a soft thud on the wooden deck. I nervously knocked on the door. After a few minutes, I saw Charlie's figure walk toward the door, plus I heard him mutter obscenities under his breath. Apparently he was watching the Mariners game, and I'd knocked at the worst moment!.
I gulped hard as the doorknob turned and the door flew open. Charlie was standing against the frame with the so-you're-taking-my-daughter-on-a-date look plastered all over his serious features. Should I speak first or should I let him? I wasn't used to all the date rule stuff, as I'd never been on a one before.
I decided to stop being a pansy and be the man Bella needed. I held my hand out and began talking. "Hi Chief Swan." He looked at me, then down at my hand like it was flea ridden. Haha, see what I did there? Smart thinking, huh?.
"Jacob, nice to see you, son." Thankfully he removed himself from the door and shook my hand. Well that's the ice breaker out the way!.
"Er...thanks...Chief...you too." Charlie chuckled at my nervousness, and moved out the way so I could enter. As soon as I crossed the threshold, my senses were attacked with everything Bella: her scent, her cooking, her input on the interior of the house. It's funny, I've been here hundreds of times but I've never really noticed stuff like that.
"Bella! Get your ass down here. Jake's here!" I smiled. It was nice to know she was getting ready for me; The mere thought caused my smile to grow bigger. I knew she would look stunning; that woman could never look bad, not even if her life depended on it.
"S'ok son, you can go through. She'll be down in a few.; although, if I've learnt anything with my dates with women, whenever they say they'll be ready in five minutes, that's code for half an hour." I couldn't help but chuckle-he had a point. Whenever my sisters were getting ready to go out, they always said they'd be five minutes; an hour later, they'd finally show their face.
I went through and sat on the edge of the recliner. Charlie sat opposite me, and continued to stare at me like he was trying to figure out my intentions towards his baby girl.
"Chief..."
Charlie stopped me. "Jacob, you know better than to call me Chief. It's Charlie to you. You make me sound so old when you say that." I smiled,and started my speech again.
"Charlie...I wanted you to know, I think a lot of Bella; to me, she's amazing, I know you're sitting there wondering if I'm gonna try and hurt her. Well, I can assure you, she means far too much to me to even contemplate hurting her. I'd protect her with my life. But you already knew that, right?"
He chuckled and nodded. "You know kid, I have absolutely no worries about you hurting my girl. I've known you your whole life, and I've seen the way you look at her. To be perfectly honest, I'm just glad you two are finally doing something about it!. I mean, I love my Bells, but sometimes she's a little slow on the uptake."
"Gee dad, thanks for that." And there it was, Bella's angelic voice. My eyes shot up and met the source of the beautiful sound.
We both looked at each other like we'd never seen one another before. I'd never felt so lucky in all my life; she looked breathtaking.
BPOV
My nerves were getting the best of me, I could barely stand still. I decided to eavesdrop. I wanted to know what was happening before I went down there so I could prepare myself!.
I heard Jake's gorgeous voice fill up every inch of the house, and soaked through every part of me. Even his voice was sexy!. I smiled and listened as they had the 'Do's and dont's' talk. I was impressed with my dad; he didn't shoot Jake down in flames or have an argument with him about him not being good enough for his 'little girl'. In fact, he was egging us on! He was all for us dating, which made me really happy.
I went back into my room and slipped on my heels. I had practiced for a while to walk in them and looked like I could actually walk in them!. Just before I left, I checked myself one last time. I smiled to myself, took a deep breath, then headed downstairs.
As soon as I reached the last step, I heard my dad telling Jacob that I was a little slow on the uptake. Wow, thanks dad, way to boost my confidence!.
"Gee dad, thanks for that," I commented as I walked into the living room. My eyes met Jacob's and we both stayed engaged for a few seconds until Charlie cleared his throat.
"Er...hey...Bells...you look...be-" My dad unfortunately cut him off, which disappointed me; I wanted to hear Jake's opinion on my outfit, not my dad's!.
"You look gorgeous, sweetheart." I smiled at Charlie as he stood up to look at me better. He brought me in for a hug, which was strange and quite frankly a little uncomfortable. I wasn't used to this fatherly bond he was showing me.
Jacob picked his jaw up off the floor, and smiled at me. He stood up from the recliner, and my heart stopped. I'd never seen him dress like that before, he looked...sexy. I bit my lip and let me eyes wander over his gorgeous body. He was looking at me like his wanted to pin me against the wall and do some very bad things to me, and that kinda excited me.
"Er...dad. Can I have my body back so I can go on my date?"
"Yeah, I kinda need her body," Jake blurted out, I stifled a laugh at the crude statement and watched as Charlie's face went from smiling to 'Ah hell no!' in seconds. I could see Jake was mentally facepalming himself. To ease his pain, I winked at him and tried to get us out of there ASAP.
"So Jake, fancy taking me on our date now?"
He smiled his trademark grin and walked towards me. I noticed he had something in his hand but wouldn't let me see. My mind whirled with questions and guesses as to what it could be.
"Don't worry Charlie, I'll have her back safe and sound." Charlie smiled and nodded.
"You just make sure you do, and have fun!" We both smiled at each other, and Jacob laced his hands through mine; my heart skipped a beat as our fingers touched.
We walked out the house and down to his car when Jacob pulled me in closer and softly whispered. "I have a surprise for you," he grinned and winked at me. That wink sent chills throughout my entire body.
"Jacob, you didn't have to get me anything-" He stopped me and put his finger on my lips.
"Hey, shush...you're my date, I'm doing this properly, so hush those lips." I smiled against his finger and agreed. He walked me to the passenger side of the Rabbit and opened my door.
"Why, thank you," I mocked and smiled at him. He rolled his eyes and let me get in the car. Once I was in, he shut the door and jogged around to the other side. I noticed how different the car looked. He had cleaned it...for me. I blushed and smiled, then waited for him to get in the car.
"You know, I really thought your dad was gonna shoot me in there," he laughed, and started the car.
"Nah, he enjoys taunting you too much to hurt you," I teased. He looked at me with a mock offended look.
"And who says I would have been hurt? Have you seen these pecs? Those bullets would rebound off me, baby," he winked, and began our drive to our destination.
"Full of yourself much?" I joked, and watched as the grin appeared on his face.
"You should know me by now, Bells. I live to make people laugh," he beamed, while keeping his eyes on the road.
"Well, you certainly made me laugh in there! I saw your reaction. That wasn't meant to come out was it?" He chuckled, and blushed a little. I was speechless. I had made the charmer himself blush, score!.
"Yeah, that was a weak moment. Can you blame me?" He looked at me with his eyebrow arched as we sped down the dark lanes. I trusted his driving, so I knew we'd be safe.
"Listen, I never got to finish my sentence back at your house...your dad kinda killed my flow" I looked down at my hands and waited; maybe I'd finally hear his compliment.
"I was going to say..." he turned his face to look at me and took hold of my hand. "You look...beautiful, Bells, you really do." I bit my lip and smiled.
"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself," I smirked, and watched as he chuckled.
"So, you noticed then?" I saw him looking at me through the mirror.
"Yeah, I noticed. You look...handsome." He grinned once more, and gave my hand a little kiss. I knew that was his way of saying thank you.
The rest of the journey was comfortably silent. I was looking forward to tonight. I just knew we'd have a night to remember.
JPOV
As I drove us to the clearing, I couldn't help but glance over my Bells repeatedly. She looked stunning. I'd only ever seen her in a dress once before, and that was when I crashed her prom. She looked nice then, but now she looked beyond words.
We made little jokes at each other for most of the way, I finally had my chance to tell her how beautiful she looked to which, she surprised me by saying I looked handsome. When you hear that from the woman you love, you can't help but feel a slight boost in the old ego department.
I turned into the lay-by close to the clearing. I couldn't drive any further, so I would carry her to our destination. Before I got out, I wanted to give her, her present.
"Before we go for our date, I wanted to give you your gift." She smiled as I reached behind me to get it. I picked up the book and placed it in her hands. I watched as she slowly unwrapped it. I was like a kid on speed-I wanted to rip it out her hands and tear the thing open!.
She finally opened it, and put her hand to her mouth. I smiled nervously, hoping her reaction was a sign of her happiness over the gift. I watched as little tear drops collected in the corners of her eyes and that made my heart ache.
"How did you know?" I had bought her a limited edition Wuthering heights book, as she had lost her original copy. I knew how much she loved that book; she carried it everywhere.
"Honey, I can read you like a book. I knew you had lost it, so I bought you this." She smiled and took off her seatbelt. I was amazed when she leaned over and softly kissed the corners of my mouth. I couldn't describe the happiness I felt in that moment. I loved the feeling of her lips on mine. She felt like home.
It took me a couple of seconds to register the fact she had instigated the kiss. It was usually me; this was progress!.
I climbed out the car, smiling my head off and ran around to her side. After helping her out I walked us over to the edge of the woods.
"Ok, I'm gonna need you to come here so I can carry you." She cocked her eyebrows, and gave me a 'Say what?' look.
"C'mon I won't bite...unless you ask," I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively. She smiled and walked over to me. I scooped her up bridal style and began running. We flew through the woods. I kept checking she was ok with my speed; she seemed to love it which was comforting.
A little over a minute later we had reached our destination, and I set her down on her heels. She looked at me with a confused look on her face as she saw Claire and Seth stood in the clearing.
"Are we expecting others?" I could hear the disappointment in her voice. I was happy that she wanted to spend time with me...on our own.
"No, Bells they are a part of the date. Trust me, I got it covered." She laughed ,and we walked hand in hand over to the middle of the clearing. I was officially the happiest dude in the world.
BPOV
I was confused at to what Seth and Claire were doing here. I thought it was meant to be just us. I wanted to confess my love for him in private; not with an audience.
We walked over to the middle of the clearing where they had set up a few pillows and a cover-I'm guessing in case I grew cold-but then again, I had Jacob to keep me warm.
"Stay here one moment, hun. I'm just gonna speak to Seth."
I nodded and watched him walk over to his friend. I removed my heels and carefully sat down on the pillow, making sure I'd covered all my...lady parts. The meadow was small and round, and filled with every type of flower known to man. The view here was beautiful, like something out of dreams. I gazed in awe at the magnificent display of multicolored trees. Each tree looked like had been placed on a carpet of color as the flowers began to spiral up around the stumps; trapping them in place. The moon glowed dimly, I glanced up to the star filled sky where a cream disc suspended in the velvet sky. The illuminating rays of the moon began to light up the meadow, like a spotlight on a stage. I watched in amazement as the fluffy, translucent clouds started to dance their way over the it, casting a gorgeous silver organza -like veil over the entire meadow. Whilst I sat on the soft pillows, my nostrils were flooded by a constant scent of Jasmine, Lavender and Honeysuckle. As my curious eyes explored past Jacob, I saw the mist lightly covering the moist grass. I placed a hand out beside my body, and let my fingers hover over the tips of the grass. As I brought my hand back, I could feel the tiny droplets of moisture trickle down my fingers and over my palm.
I felt my heart swell with happiness with the thought that Jacob had chosen this picturesque location to hold out first date. I smiled as I let the romantic atmosphere completely wash over me and submerge me into a world consisting of myself and Jacob.
A few minutes later, Jacob sprinted back to me with a heart warming smile spread across gorgeous face. He sat down behind me and placed his legs around me so I was nestled warmly in between his legs. I shivered a little when I felt his warmth radiate off him and dance over my skin,Jacob noticed and placed both arms securely around my waist. He pulled me into him so I was completely enveloped in everything Jacob.
His warm warm breath tickled my sensitive ear as he leaned down and whispered, "Hope you like it, Bells. Sit back and relax; I'll do the rest." I did as he said, and watched as Seth and Claire began talking.
"Ladies and Gentleman, we are gathered here in the delightful setting of the clearing to act out first class entertainment for a Miss Bella Swan and a Mr Jacob Black". I smiled as he pointed out our names, it made all this feel even more real.
"Sit back and relax as myself and Claire act out some of Miss Swan's favorite scenes from the incredibly awesome Wuthering Heights. I will be playing the part of Heathcliff, while my lovely co-star will play Catherine." I was really excited to watch this. I couldn't believe Jacob had set all this up for me. It was beyond amazing.
As I continued to watch the beautiful scenes unravel before me, my eyes were glued to Seth and Claire. I was practically clinging on to their every word. Seth managed to capture me and drag me into this imaginary world. I couldn't believe how amazingly convincing they both were. They held myself, and even Jacob, in the palm of their hands. It was amazing.
Jacob always knew how to make me smile. The thought that he had put into this was beyond my comprehension. It was romantic to watch Seth portraying Heathcliff, and Claire as Catherine. Wuthering Heights was one of my all time favorite books. Seeing someone acting it out was beautifully romantic, and knowing that Jacob planned this made my heart ache with happiness. As the play went on, I couldn't help but notice the slight irony involved. I found that I was a lot like Catherine. There were so many times when I had thought I was mean and incredibly selfish with Jacob, who was so similar to Heathcliff. Still, it was such a beautiful idea and it made my heart soar.
I was sobbing my heart out when they both finished acting. It was so beautiful, and to think they weren't even professionals was amazing. They both took a bow, and wished us a happy night. I was so blown away. I sat curled up in Jacob's arms for a little while longer.
"You wanna get going or did you wanna stay here a little longer, Bells?"
I smiled into his chest, he was so thoughtful; I fell deeper in love with him with each passing second. I decided now would be the perfect time to tell him my true feelings, and how far my love truly ran for him.
I sat up and turned around so I was sitting on my legs. I took his hand and some deep breaths and started confessing my love. There was no way back now, and I really didn't care. I loved him so much, it's about time he knew.
"Before we go...I have something I need to tell you." My hands were shaking, and my heart was thumping so hard I thought I'd faint.
Jacob's face grew a little concerned and he sat up properly. "What is it, Bells? You know you can tell me anything." I gulped hard and pressed my finger to his lips, I loved hearing his voice, but right now he needed to to shut the hell up.
"I've been hiding something from you for quite a while now, and I know it will change things between us. I've been living in a world where all the things I thought were fairy tale stories turned out to be real. My best friend, who is my entire life, turned out to be a werewolf, who then tells me that freakin vampires exist and you only exist to kill them!"
Jacob chuckled and shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't have a care in the world.
"I know that one of your worst fears is you phasing in front of me and hurting me, but I swear to you Jake, I know you. I know how much strength you have, and how you will delay the phase until i'm a safe distance away. I trust you, Jake, with my entire life, I know you'd fight any force that ever tried to hurt me...or us." His eyes shot up when he heard 'us'. I smiled and continued on.
"Ok, here it goes...I'm attracted to you, like seriously attracted to you. I remember how you were scared to tell me about you phasing into a werewolf, because you thought I'd freak out, but to be honest knowing that is kinda...sexy. I love the fact you walk around without a shirt on. I love your short hair," I slowly ran my fingers through his hair, and felt it spring back to place because of the gel he had used.
"I love the fact you have a tribal tattoo-that's also sexy-but the worst thing about all this is the fact I couldn't touch your skin. I couldn't kiss your lips. I couldn't caress every inch of your body. I couldn't show you just how much I'm attracted to you."
He cocked his eyebrow and smirked at me.
"I don't wanna not touch you, kiss you, caress you. I wanna feel all of you. But most importantly, I wanna be the only woman who will ever hold this." I placed my hand over his heart. "Because you're the only man that will ever hold mine." I could see the elation wash over his face, and some tears spring into his eyes. I knew he'd never let them drop in front of me, but it was nice to know I made him feel that way.
"I'm in love with you, Jacob. I have been for as long as I can remember, but I was too scared to do anything about it in fear I may lose you completely. But I can't hide it anymore. I want you in every way possible. If you'll have me...I'm yours."
JPOV
I couldn't believe what I just heard...finally. Finally, she admitted she loved me, and she wanted to be with me. To say I was over the moon was a fucking understatement! I wanted to get up and scream at the top of my lungs, 'Bella loves me!'.
She was finally mine. Our eyes connected, and it was as if my world was being turned upside down. Everything around us was fading away, and I felt like there was an invisible rope binding us together. A growing heat began to fill me, and I could think of nothing but my Bella. In this moment, I knew that I would spend forever trying to please this woman, to do anything I could for her love. The gravitational pull to her was intense, and I finally realized what was happening. Not only had I been given the love of the woman I craved, I was given the pleasure of imprinting on her. There was nothing in this world that could take her from me now. Suddenly, my existence didn't seem so miserable as the possibilities for our future started to take form in my mind.
"Jake? I don't mean to rush you, hun, but if you could give me an answer, I'd very much appreciate it." Give her an answer? I'll do more than that!.
I scooted towards her and placed my hand on her cheek, letting my fingertips tangle themselves in her soft, silky hair. I slowly pulled her towards me while leaning my face towards hers. We were less than an inch from tasting each other. I could feel her warm breath brush across my lips. I could smell the scent of her perfume mix in with her shampoo. She smelled delicious.
Just before our lips touched, I wanted to tell her how much I loved her. I looked deeply in her eyes and mustered every bit of strength I had.
"I love you, so much, Bella." She smiled, and let a lone tear fall out of her gorgeous brown eyes. She again surprised me by wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing those sexy lips against mine. I honestly thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
I melted as her tongue swept along my lip. She began to moan a little into my mouth. Hearing her moan made me feel wild. She was moaning because of me, because of our kiss! My mind couldn't help but wonder what her moans would sound like when we made love. At that thought, I hardened and cursed my teenage hormones, She wasn't alone when she said she wanted to feel all of me. I wanted to feel every inch of her, kiss her body all night, make love to her forever. And now I could. We belonged to each other, and not a thing in the world could tear us apart.
A few minutes of us passionately kissing went past. When we both reluctantly broke away from each other, her hands held onto me as I lifted us both up and held her in my arms. I never wanted this moment to end, I could quite literally kiss her forever.
I began walking us back to my car to take her home. When she began kissing me again, I smiled against her lips. This felt so nice, to not have her fighting me. She was giving herself to me, and I was happily willing to take every inch of what she had to offer.
"It's so nice to have you actually kiss me and not fight me." We both chuckled, and she stroked my cheek as I continued to walk.
"I'm making up for a lot of lost time, and I promise you this...I will never fight you again, unless it's play fighting." She winked at me, and I almost growled from her sexual advances.
"As long as you promise not to tap out on me too early. Fight me until the end," I held a double meaning behind that, and she knew it.
"I will forever fight your cute ass." Damn! Where did this Bella come from, and can I get some more?
In no time at all, we were back at my car. The street lamps began to flicker, casting an eerie glow. There were cracks in the road from the constant use of cars. In the distance, I could hear the wolves howl, and the menacing calls from foxes. I saw the goosebumps slowly appear on Bella's arm. I wasn't about to let the woman I loved freeze to death, so I wrapped my arms around her and smiled when I felt her dissolve into me. This was the perfect end to a perfect evening. Everything had gone better than I had planned. The woman I loved told me she loved me, I imprinted on her, and then we kissed like we'd never see each other again. It was perfect.
I set her down on the hood while she put on her heels. She then stood up, and wove her arms around my waist.
"I love you so much, Jacob."
My heart soared from her declaration. My body immediately reacted to hers and I leaned down towards her and pressed my lips onto her. She pulled me closer and deepened our kiss. My shaft was hardening more by the second. I wanted her so goddamn much it was starting to hurt.
I moved us around the car and picked her up while pinning her against the trunk of my car. I could feel her push her body into me, and this time I was the one to moan into her mouth. My hands worked their way up her smooth legs. I noticed one of her shoes had fallen off again, but I ignored it and kept our lips locked.
After a while, I set her down and accidentally kicked her shoe into the middle of the road. I was about to go and get it when she pulled me back and kissed me one more time.
"I'll get it, you open the door." She winked, and stepped beside me giggling her head off. To anyone watching, it appeared as though she was drunk. I opened the door ,and chuckled as she tried, and failed, several times to pick up her shoe.
Suddenly, I felt very suspicious. My wolf could sense something was wrong, my protective instincts kicked in, and were now on full alert. I quickly scanned the edge of the woods for any potential threats towards Bella and myself. I listened out for the danger call from my pack, but heard nothing. I looked up and down both directions of the road to make sure it was clear from any oncoming danger, but saw nothing. I had reached the conclusion my buzzing mind was playing tricks on me, and continued to open the door for my girl.
Seconds later, my whole body stiffened in fear as I heard the heart stopping sound of screeching wheels. My head shot up and tried to seek out the source of the chilling sound. I jogged towards to edge of the woods while keeping my eyes on Bella and frantically scanned everything within my range. My heart began to race as my whole body started to race from adrenaline. I was anxious because I could hear the sound, but couldn't see anything. I ran towards Bella as I needed to make sure she was safe; first and foremost, she was my priority. I had to get her out of harm's way.
Just as I reached out to grab hold of her, a car came flying around the bend. It was like I could see what was going to happen. Everything was going in slow motion, but I couldn't stop the inevitable. I fought my body with everything I had to get to her side. I was not going to let this happen! The car swerved from left to right, and kept picking up speed. Bella looked up at me with fear and shock in those beautiful eyes. This couldn't be happening!. Move, legs! Fucking move!. My eyes widened as the car grew inches from her fragile body. I finally gained control over my body, and ran faster than I ever had before.
"Bella, move!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. It was like she was frozen in place, her body wouldn't respond to her commands. I reached my hand out to grab her arm when she made a sound that will pierce my heart for the rest of my existence. The headlights tried their best to blind me, but I had to get to her. Bella turned and looked at me, her face absolutely terrified, I managed to grab hold of her arm with my fingertips.
I used all my strength to keep her safe in my arms, I knew if I loosened my grip even for a second there was a chance i'd never... No!,I couldn't think about that. I wouldn't even give that thought headspace as I was going to save her!. There's no way in fuckin hell I would ever give up on protecting the woman I loved, I would die before I saw those precious eyes close. My heart was pounding through my chest at the thought of everything that had happened tonight. My head was spinning with frustration that there was so little I could do to protect my imprint, my girl...my soul mate. As she looked at me with tears leaving her eyes, it broke my heart because she knew what what going to happen. I refused to except that this was how it ended!, we hadn't fought through everything just to have some psychotic driver take it all away within minutes of us finally getting what we'd always wanted!. My beautiful angel was right in front of me, I held her in my arms as I attempted to move our frozen bodies from the danger, but as the car moved closer all I could see was how the tires left behind clouds of smoke from the speed. My chest felt constricted from the sheer force I was using to move us out the way but nothing I did worked!. I couldn't just stand by and watch this happen, I had to do something but I had no clue what!. As the tears of fear streamed down both our faces I had never felt so helpless in my life. It was physically and emotionally destroying me to what this horrific scene happen before our eyes. My ears memorized the sound of her rapid heart thump against her rib cage as I prayed with everything I had that this wouldn't be the last night I heard that beautiful sound. I gazed down in her stunning brown eyes and let them capture me and take us to a place where all this was a very very horrible nightmare. Our trembling hands joined for a millisecond so I could treasure the feel of her soft skin penetrating mine. As she looked at me one last time I saw her lower lip quiver with fear and her eyes start to drown from her own tears. I clenched my eyes shut and let my tears break free, I knew I had one last chance to free us from the unbearable nightmare, so I conjured up every single ounce of strength I had in me to lift her out the way but as I secured my grip around her, she gave a heart stopping scream.
"JACOB!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, and pushed me out of danger. I tried to stop, but my body just kept tumbling backwards. Where had my strength gone? The love of my life was in serious danger, and I couldn't get to her! I felt the tears leave my eyes as the car roared closer and closer. I sprung up on my feet, and ran towards her. I was milliseconds away; I couldn't be too late! I just couldn't. I had to get to my girl, I had to save her! I just had to!...
"BELLA!"
