I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I snapped my head in the direction where the person had touched me and snarled. It was Emily. My face softened a little when I saw that her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

It had been just a few minutes since Bella had…well, since she went away, and I was still crying like the rapids onto her chest. I never released my hold on her. Her arms were still around me, and that's why I didn't move. Because if I did, her arms would fall off of me.

Damn Emily, for making me look at you! Bella's arms fell limply to the ground at her sides. Her cold fingertips touched my waist.

"Emily, w-what do you want?" I managed to ask in a saddening whisper.

"I need to be by her, Jacob. She's my other half. Please…" Her voice cracked as she let out a low sob. I simply nodded and shifted so that I was lying against Bella's side, my arms wrapped in a death grip around her shoulders. Emily fell to the ground on the other side of Bella, and almost immediately, her arms were around her waist. She snuggled into her side and rests her head on Bella's shoulder, while my head was cheek to cheek against Bella's face. I felt my warm tears as they slid between our faces.

"Oh, Bella." I let out a slow, strangled breath as the lump in my throat rose and caused me to break out into another sob. With one of my hands, I smoothed down her hair gently.

"Jacob, I am so s-sorry." I didn't move. I just listened as Emily spoke in the same tortured voice like mine.

"F-for what?" I muttered. Both of us didn't move, we just held on tightly to our lost loved one. We both didn't care that the pack and the two Cullen leeches were standing off somewhere nearby, crying as we were.

"I should have never been so stupid to walk alone in t-the woods. If-f I w-would've h-had just-t stayed in-n the house, Bella wouldn't h-have…"

"Em, please…d-don't finish t-that sentence." I pleaded softly.

It felt like forever as Emily and I held onto dear life to Bella. Her body was cold, but it wasn't lifeless. I could still hear the flow of blood running through her system. It wasn't normal, though; it was slower than usual.

Edward was right. She was in what seemed like a coma. Her body was cold, but that was probably only because of the reason that we were outside and it was lightly snowing.

Gently, with the hand that was smoothing down her hair, my thumb caressed her cheek. The side of my face that was pressed against Bella's was wet with the tears that I shed.

"Bella…w-why did you have to leave me? I j-just got you, h-honey," My voice cracked as I began to cry harder, "Y-you were s-so happy. I'm n-nothing without you. I can't be happy without you b-by my side…" I propped myself on my elbow and lean down to place feathery kisses all over her face. She never moved.

She wasn't ever going to move…ever again. I cried harder at that thought and tears fell from my eyes and onto my sweet Bella's face.

"S-sorry…" I murmured as if she would answer me. I wasn't holding her anymore; I was lightly touching her face with my free hand while the other supported the weight of my head. I could hear the silent sobs of sadness and loss come from behind me.

"Y-you just had to help out s-somehow, d-didn't you?" I asked gently. I placed a soft kiss on her lips, even though I knew she wouldn't ever kiss back.

Sam was then rubbing Emily's back and I heard him whisper in her ear gently; "Come on, Emily. Let's leave Jacob and Bella alone." Sam looked up at me and I gave him a look that said, 'Thank You.' He nodded and softly shifted Emily so she was leaning into him. She wrapped his arms around his neck and then Sam lifted her off the ground and walked back towards their house.

I moved so I was on my side again with my head on the ground next to Bella's. I kissed her cheek, before turning her so she fell limply into my chest. Her chin was on my forehead and I moved closer into the crook of her neck. Grabbing her wrist, I pulled it over me so it was around my back. I let the other hand rest against my heaving upper body.

"Oh, Bells…" I let out a long sigh and kissed her neck softly before squeezing my arms tighter around her waist.

I felt like the husband of the Third wife in one of our tribe legends. The way the he stayed by her dead body in wolf form, growling at anybody who came near her.

A cold hand touched my back and I flinched at the touch. "Jacob." It was that pixie voice. I turned my head just enough to look at her face.

I couldn't believe my eyes. The leech was…she was crying! Vampires don't cry. But, this one did and I instantly knew that this bloodsucker Cullen was very close to my Bella. My eyes softened as I looked at Alice.

"Yes?" I muttered. Her lips parted as if to say something, but she didn't and she squeezed her hand tighter on my shoulder. It didn't hurt, though.

"What?" I asked louder this time. Just leave me alone with my Bella, I thought.

"C-Carlisle wants to see Bella. He thinks he has a theory on how he can save her." I looked at the pixie in shock and then back down to Bella's sleeping form.

"N-no. J-just leave me be with her." I muttered, still looking at Bella.

"Jacob-

"Just go! I'll be over there later…" I grumbled. The cold hand on my shoulder dropped.

"O-okay…" And when I looked up, the pixie was gone. I sighed and brought Bella's cold body to my chest; letting out a low whimper as her head fell onto my face. i gently moved so that her head was on top of mine, while mine lay on the wet ground.

I moved just a little bit, and her head slipped off of mine and as it slowly dropped to the ground, her lips brushed against mine. I gasped and held onto her tighter. I didn't move, I just lay against her with her lips just barely touching mine.

Tears were still falling from my eyes as I gazed down lovingly into Bella's face. I closed my eyes as I felt Bella's soft breaths fell onto my face.

Slowly, I fell into a deep sleep beside my Bella, having dreams of her kissing me back.
