A/N: I know you guys were expecting some Eddie action, but I'm sorry! For some reason I just couldn't get into his head this time... Well anyways, here you are! I'd recommend tissues...but that could just be me bigging up my skills too much ;)

This is unbeta'd as my usual beta is busy with moving as such and my second in command was no where to be found and I wanted you lovely people to read this!

I do not own Twilight, but I do own a Jasper Whitlock Hale doll called Jazzy.

Happy Reading!

Chapter Eight : BPOV

It was too late to run, yet I let myself play that little fantasy out in my mind once or twice whilst I hovered in the doorway.

"Are you joining us Miss Swan? Or are you too busy supporting the door frame?" Mr Varner's voice cut through my most recent strategy which involved hijacking a yellow Porsche and running away to Italy...hell a girl can dream right?

"Oh, right. Sorry, sir' taking a tentative forward I ascertained that my legs hadn't stopped working through shock and I rushed to my seat.

Head down, ears at the ready. That's the way to play it Swan. Become invisible.

Unfortunately Mr Varner didn't want me to invisible that day.

"So Miss Swan. Seeing as you were so eager to be at the front of class why no come forward and solve the problem on the blackboard?" He said with a smirk. He loved this far too much.

I balked.

"I'd rather not..." I barely heard myself.

"Excuse me Miss Swan? Speak up" He leaned forward and I didn't dare repeat myself.

Standing I stared at the floor and moved to the front of the classroom. People sniggered at me as I walked past, no doubt Jessica had spread some story about what happened at lunch yesterday.

I was about half way down the gangway when Jessica stuck her leg out and tripped me.

It all happened rather quickly then.

The floor was coming up to meet me. Fast. I didn't have time to stick my arms out but I needn't have worried.

My head broke the fall on the corner of a desk on my way down and all went black.

I came round feeling groggy and cold. Like really cold. I tried to open my eyes but closed them against the light. I tried to move my arm to shield my eyes and it was completely unresponsive. I couldn't move...

Wow, what happened?

"Bells?" I heard a voice right by ear which made me chest ache. Forcing my eyes open I looked to the left of me and saw Jake lying next to me.

"Jake?" Tears sprang to my eyes and I had to choke back a sob.

"Yeah Bells, it's me" He reached over and stroked my face from temple to chin.

"Wait...you're..you're...Am I dead?" Strangely the thought of me being dead didn't scare me. In fact I was kind of relieved.

Jake guffawed.

"Oh Bells, of course you're not dead!" he rolled over till he was on his back and folded his arms behind his head.

"Then..how?" I was starting to get some feeling back in my calfs and the tips of my fingers. I yearned to touch him.

"I dunno babe, it's your subconscious. Why do you think I'm here?" He looked over at me and gave me his best wolf grin. He was here. Right in front of me.

My Jake...

"I miss you Jake...so much" I had no control of the tears streaming down my face.

Jacob looked pained for a moment before he spoke "I miss you too Bells. You have no idea how much" He took a deep breath "But what you're doing to yourself isn't going to bring me back" He placed his hand in mine and I realised I could feel it.

I squeezed his fingers as hard as I could.

He was real.

"I know it can't Jake, but it might bring me to you." I let out a large sob "I can't live in a world where you don't exist" Hard sobs wracked my body as more of my body became responsive.

I struggled to sit up, clearly sensing my dilemma Jake put his arms around my waist and hoisted me into a seated position. I automatically threw my arms around him, inhaling his scent.

He smelled of wood, sunshine, rain and peppermint.

He smelled of Jake.

More tears escaped as he hugged me back.

"Shhh Bells. I love you...but you have to wake up." He held on that much tighter.

"No! NO Jake! I want to stay" I clung to him for dear life.

"Bella I'm okay. Sure I miss everyone, especially you, but I'm okay. Just know, that I always loved you." He pulled back to look at my face and I saw his eyes were wet. "We were going to make it you know? It was always going to be us babe. Always" He leaned forward and kissed my lips softly.

I just continued to sob.

"Jake...I...Love...You" And I really did.

"Babe, I'll always love you, but don't waste your life on me. You have a life use it." He pulled me into a tight hug and whispered into my ear "Forever Swan. Now wake up. Wake up. Please Wake up"

An angelic voice cut through my thoughts. But it wasn't the one I wanted to hear

"Wake up! Wake up...please, wake up" I realised I was lying on the floor. Opening my eyes the first thing I saw was green.

Nothing but green, it was endless.

"HEY! She's awake!" His voice seemed a million miles away.

"Edward?" What was he doing here?

"Bella? Bella can you hear me?" I felt two strong arms wrapped around me. I realised I was still on the floor in Trig.

"Wh...What happened?" As soon as I said it memories came flashing back.

Walking. A leg. The table. Blackness...Jake.

Had I really saw him?

My lips tingled where his lips had touched mine.

Jake...

And just like I broke down.
