I woke up to the Jacob's light snores in my ear.
He was sprawled on Emily's sofa, diagonally with his head resting in the crook of my neck. One hand was on my waist and the other behind my head, like a pillow.
I was trying to remember how we got here but I don't really remember. Only that we had both ended up crying, from there it's kind of blank.
I turned to my side and looked at Jacob, he looked so peaceful. Since no one was around, I took this time to really have a look at him. His russet skin was flawless and smooth, high check bones, defined jaw, small nose. He was beautiful.
I remember all to long ago when I had told him he was sort of beautiful, but there was no mistaking it now, he was breathtaking. Not the same boy I had met, hell he wasn't a boy, he was a man. But he hadn't changed that much.
I really wanted to run my fingers over the contours of his face but I didn't want to wake him up, instead I just laid back down and savored this moment. Soon I fell asleep on his warm chest.

I stirred awake and rubbed my eyes.
Bella was lying, sprawled across my chest. Her hair was fanned over me and I could feel her light breaths skimming my naked chest.
God, she was beautiful.
I held her a bit closer, this was a rare occurrence. Best make the most of it.
My eyes traveled up her, stopping when they came to her hip. Her top had ridden up a bit, revealing her porcelain skin. I ran my fingers over it lightly. My trousers were getting a bit tight.
Perfect! That all I want, Bella waking up wondering what was poking her in the stomach. Unfortunately I wanted to avoid that so I figured now was a good time to wake her up.
Leaning over a bit I drew closer to her ear "wake up beautiful" I whispered. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up, A small sleepy smile spread across her face.
"Morning Jake"
She started to get up but I pulled her in closer. "No, don't leave" I whined at her. She stopped and a hand when to her hip.
"Come on, I need to feed the beast" she said.
"But I'm not hungry!" I said giving her my best puppy dog eyes. Just then my stomach decided to make it's self-known by growling loudly.
"Mmmm hmm?"She said looking at me pointedly. I gave her a sheepish smile.
"Fine" I said giving in. she smiled triumphantly before skipping off to the kitchen. Stretching, I got up and followed her. She was already getting out ingredients for a fried breakfast. Wasn't it like 7 o'clock?
Speaking of which where was everyone else?
I walked over to the fridge and there was a small yellow sticky-note;
Thought you could use sometime to work out your problems
Sam
Okay, so it's just her, and me great this is going to be fun!
I wanted to bring up her wrist but I wasn't don't how, I know this time I wont lose control. I stood leaning against the counter with my arms across my chest, just watching the way she worked her way around the kitchen.
Funny, because she hadn't hurt herself once, in fact she was almost graceful. Cooking seemed to be her element. But I can imagine that spending so much time with that bloodsucker that doesn't eat has got to be kind of depressing.
She noticed me staring at her and started blushing, I chuckled, I guess something's never change.
I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She automatically leaned into me, that made me smile but I soon stopped when I remembered what I had to do.
"Bella, what happened?" she stopped cooking and slowly turned to me.
"Jake, I don't really want to talk about it..." she said pleading with her eyes. I didn't want to hurt her but, then I didn't want to see her get hurt.
"Bells, I don't want to see you get hurt, you mean to much to me "I said cupping her cheek "but you need to tell me please? "I asked, my voice coming out only above a whisper.
She nodded, laying her head on my shoulder. "But Jake you promise not to get angry? "There was so much sincerity in her voice, I couldn't help but nod. I mean even though I said I had control, I am not sure what it will take to break it.
She walked over to the table and sat down, taking a deep breath, she looked in my eyes. "well, before I had come yesterday Jake, he had basically forbid me to see you, because apparently you are to dangerous. I told him that you weren't but… anyway. And when he picked me up from the treaty line he didn't do anything except tell me to get in the car.
And I thought everything was okay, but hen when I got home he was in my room like he had promised he would be. And he shouted at me for going to see you. Then he accused me of sleeping with not just you but the whole pack, and I got angry and said something's which I can't remember.
But after he said he was going to make sure I belonged to him and he pressed me against the wall."
She stopped to catch her breath, trying not to cry she looked up at me. I knew she was worried about my shaking, but there was nothing I could do about that.
"And he held my wrist and kept tightening his grip till it became unbearable. So I did the only thing I could think of, I used my other hand to make a loud sound against the wall and Charlie came up. Edward left and I closed the window."
She looked at me. I could feel the anger boiling inside me just thinking about what the hell she went through. But then a thought occurred to me, what would have happened if Charlie hadn't come in time?
I ran out the house and phased.

I watched as he ran out the house, loudly banging the door so hard I was surprised that it had not come off his hinges.
I sat down on the loveseat. Uhhh! This was all a mess; I honestly had no clue where to go from here. I know that Jacob just went to run off some steam, and to be honest I couldn't blame him.
I buried my head in my hands, why couldn't anything just be simple? I knew I loved Jacob, but there was something stopping me.i only wish I knew what it was.
I also hated the fact that I was hurting Jacob so much, I could see the disappointment in his face, even though he tried not to dhow it. And I only wish I could love him like he loved me.
I don't know how long I sat there just thinking about Jacob, but it was obviously long because I found embry and quil sitting either side of me. I looked ay them both and gave them a slight shake of the head to say 'hey, no Jake isn't' here I told him but he phased'
No sooner I felt warm arms wrap around me, I turned to look up and Jacob was smiling at me.
"I love you bells"
