Jacob found himself zoned out on the ride back to the house. He was thinking too much about Bella...surely Edward had told her by now.
He wondered what she'd do.
Jacob continued to watch the scenery fly past him.
/Bella...will you reject me too?/
That was the only thought in his mind. Would she, just like his pack had. He breathed out silently leaning his head against the window. He wasn't sure if he could take losing something else. He just couldn't take any more rejection.
He was getting so sick of change.
He felt the car halt to a stop in front of the house, Jacob stepped out of the car and made his way wordlessly to his room.
And he didn't leave once he got there.
...
After what seemed like ages of standing there Edward finally began walking home. There was nothing he could do...going after her would be stupid, there was nothing he could say or do to comfort her.
It seemed to Edward that he was suddenly hurting so many people.
And there was nothing he could do to make it better.
Edward sighed shaking his head, "How many more mistakes am I going to make?" he asked.
...
It seemed like it took even longer to walk all the way home. Once he finally found himself trudging up the front steps into the house he was greeted with silence.
He sighed heavily again. He walked upstairs heading down the hall to his room, to find Alice standing there like she had been waiting for him.
Edward walked up to her and the short vampire only glanced at him.
"How'd it go with Bella?" she asked.
"...Just how you'd expect it to go I guess," he replied. "How is he?" Edward asked.
Alice was silent letting her eyes drift down for a moment, "...Better..but I think seeing Bella's made him worse." she replied. "Jasper says Jacob's been getting more anxious since he saw Bella this morning."
Edward merely nodded to her. Edward stepped forward opening his door when he felt a hand grace his shoulder halting him.
"Edward...I think it would be good if you played the piano tonight.." she said letting her voice linger momentarily. Edward stayed still as he felt the hand slide off his shoulder and heard the sound of her footsteps.
/The piano?/ he asked.
...
That night Edward sat in his room debating with himself.
/Should I play the piano?/ he asked. He had been unaware of Alice's reasoning for that statement. But he knew that if Alice had suggested it there was a good reason behind it. Edward stood up and made his way to the music room at the end of the hall.
He creaked the door open to see the light of the moon shining down on the grand piano like it always did. He walked over to it and sat down on the bench staring down at the keys.
...
Jacob cringed as he fell to his knees panting heavily he quickly scurried to his feet; however, and started running again.
The tree's around him seemed to be getting closer the air growing thinner. Now it even felt like the leaves were trying to trip him as he ran.
Jacob once again tripped and fell on his knee's and cringed. He began to get to his feet when he was tackled back to the hard ground.
The powerful force keeping him down felt like dry ice. Jacob's eyes shot open his eyes wide and frantic. He stared into cold black eyes that almost seemed to swallow him up.
He could hear his bones cracking under the force and the feeling of knives cutting into his neck, and blood spilling forth. Screams echoing through the sky. Everything stained red.
Blood..everywhere bleeding and never ceasing to feed the creature feasting on it.
So much blood...so much that he couldn't breath.
The taste of death on his lips...
Jacob gasped his hand wrapping around his throat when his eyes finally snapped open. He panted roughly sitting up.
He swallowed slightly looking around his room. He closed his eyes for a moment putting a hand on his damp forehead.
"Haven't had that dream in awhile," he whispered to himself. He frowned sting down at his bed.
"God," he groaned silently falling back on the bed. There wasn't any way he was going to sleep now.
He sighed heavily shutting his eyes as if trying to erase the memory of the dream all together.
Jacob opened his when he heard something drift through the air.
"Huh?" he asked sitting up in his bed.
/Piano.../
A melody from a piano was softly drifting through the air. Jacob looked at the wall of his room remembering the piano he had seen in the music room.
Edward's music room...
The melody was oddly...calming to Jacob for some reason. He continued to stare in the direction he knew the song was coming from.
He looked down then and laid back down on the bed staring at the ceiling of the room.
Just listening.
And Edward just kept playing. Letting his fingers run over the keys that he was so familiar with. Letting the song drift through the house as it did on many nights.
And Edward only stared at the keys and played.
And all the while Alice sat on her own bed in her darkened room. Her face lit only by the light coming in from her window. She sat there silently with her legs hanging off the side of the bed.
As the melody drifted to her ears as well.
And all she did was sit there...with a knowing expression in her eyes.
And she just sat there...knowing.

Okay i know it's very short but i wanted to have this in there as you can guess yes i hinted that alice had a vision of jacob having the nightmare and edward playing the piano which is why she told edward 'it would be a good night to play the piano'. So yeah! Well i know it's not much but i couldn't really add anything since the last thing was a perfect end for a chap. So yeah i just made this short and i'll start a longer chapter after this. Oh and by the way when I wrote this i was watching the very end scene of the movie 'Gypsy 83' the ending song is so pretty. Well anyway REVIEW!
