Jacob looked at me as if I was insane. He grabbed one of my wrists and held it in front of my face.
"I thought that was obvious. I mean come on do you really think I would have let you drown? And seriously do you look dead?" He waved my hand in front of my face. I was so glad I wasn't dead. How could I have even thought that? Charlie needed me and it would tear Renée up if I died. No matter how big that emotional hole in my chest got I could never leave Charlie and Renée, not like that.
"Thank you, Jacob." I looked into his eyes to tell him I really meant it. I shivered again as the cold wind blew, I was still in wet clothes.
"I could never just watch you die, Bella." He watched me shiver for a moment before he put the pieces together in his head. "We had better get you out of those clothes."
He stood up still cradling me in his arms against his warm chest.
"I do know how to walk you know." I said to him as he began to walk up the path back to his house.
"Ah, yes but the key is to know how to walk without falling down." Jacob cracked a huge grin as a light blush appeared on my cheeks but I didn't want him to see so I hid my face in his warm shoulder.
We walked the rest of the way up to Billy's house in silence when I realized I had no idea what I would tell Charlie about my wet clothes.
"What are we going to tell Charlie about my wet clothes?" I asked Jacob looking up into his eyes.
"Well the ocean is pretty big and wet. We can tell him you fell in it. You have to agree with track record, it is absolutely possible." He chuckled with a smile at the thought of it, I could tell.
Jacob walked up the steps of his house and we could hear Charlie and Billy inside talking about the game.
"I think you should put me down now Jake. I don't think Charlie would enjoy seeing me like this, you know in your arms." I told him before he opened the door.
"Well we'll see what he thinks." He said as his grin got larger and he opened the door, holding me tightly against his chest as I glared at him. When we walked in Charlie glanced over at us and his drop fell as Jake's grin got even bigger, it was touching his eyes now.
"H-hey k-kids.." It was funny seeing Charlie at a loss for words. He didn't know what to make of my position at the moment.
"Hey, Charlie," Jake gave him a short wave before replacing his hand around me, still holding me against his chest. I had to admit is felt good to be against his chest he was very very warm and his chest was soft but very muscular, I could feel my body pressed up against his abs.
"Hey, Dad," I said glancing at him from the corner of my eye he still looked a bit confused.
"B-bella f-f-fell down in th-the ocean." Jake said through muffled laughter, I could tell he was getting a kick out of this.
"That is why I'm wet Dad." I explained hoping to clear something up in his mind.
"Oh. Um.. We should get you out of those clothes. Is she hurt?" Partially talking to me and partially talking to Jacob. I knew he meant physically hurt, I could tell he was wondering why Jacob was still holding me. Jacob was about to answer him but I interrupted him.
"No. I am not hurt. But Jacob refuses to put me down." I answered him as I glared at Jacob. Then Charlie gestured for Jacob to put me down and he finally place me on the ground only for my legs to forget how to work and me to fall to the ground.
"Maybe you should sit down for a bit Bella." Jacob said with a chuckle as he caught me right before I hit the ground.
"No. Um it's okay my legs are just a little stiff." I replied as the heat flooded to my face and I leaned into Jake for the support I needed until I got feeling back in my legs.
"Let's go get you some dry clothes." Jake said practically dragging me up the stairs to his room. He placed me on his bed as he began to dig through his closet for something for me to wear. He tossed me a t-shirt and a pair of what looked like really old cut off jeans.
"I haven't worn those jeans since I was nine so they should fit." He said as he walked out of his room leaving me to change. I took off my stiff clothing and put on the t-shirt and jeans. The shirt was a bit large because Jake was a tall 16 year old. (AN: I don't know if he is 16 or 15 cause he is not an important character to me so get over it!) But he was right the jeans fit perfectly, it was odd he was small as a young child.
I laid down on Jake's bed once I finished changing and noticed the sweet husky smell of his sheets. It smelled so good. I felt so tired and his smell was so intoxicating that I drifted to sleep, my head atop his pillow.
When I awoke there was light streaming through the curtains of Jacob's window. Wait. Jacob's window. I shot up into the sitting position to see I was in Jacob's bed wearing Jacob's clothes in Jacob's room. I got out of his bed and rushed down the stairs to find Jacob sleeping on the couch softly snoring. I tripped on my way to the kitchen hoping to find Charlie so we could go home. My body made a loud thud on the ground which caused Jacob to wake.
"What? No I wasn't making out with a bloodsucker!" Apparently he dreamt about vampires too. (AN: Bella already knows that Jacob is a werewolf.)
"Oh Bella!" He said when he realized he wasn't asleep anymore and that I was lying on then floor like an idiot who had just tripped over the air. Again.
"Morning, Jake, sorry I woke you." I said as he helped me stand up.
"No, it's fine I was done sleeping anyway." He replied as I looked around for Charlie.
"Do you know where Charlie is?" I asked Jacob, wondering why I slept in his bed last night.
"Oh he left early this morning to go fishing with Harry and Billy again. He didn't want to wake you last night 'cause he thought you seemed pretty out of it." He said walking into the kitchen over to the refrigerator, taking some juice out of it.
"Oh. Okay. I'm sorry I took your bed." I said as a light blush appeared on my cheeks.
"No it's fine. I never realized how good my bed smells thanks for the update." He chuckled softly; I obviously said something about it in my sleep.
I didn't know how I was going to explain it so I stuttered a few variables before he interrupted me.
"I didn't know I was that hot either but you seem to know a lot more about it than me." I knew that I was sleep talking about his temperature but I wasn't about to damage his ego like that.
"Apparently I am a lot hotter than Edward ever was." He continued. I had totally forgotten about the emotional hole in my chest but with that it felt like it had been ripped open when it had already been sown back together and I could feel the thread being ripped through my skin with his every word. He had gone too far with my sleep talking he had brought up Edward. Everyone had been kind enough to never talk about him, in front of me, let alone say his name out loud in front of me. I could feel the tears come to my eyes and the shortening of my breath as I ran out of Jacob's house letting the memories tear the emotional hole more and more.
AN: This is not exactly how I planned to end the chapter cause I didn't really plan how to end the chapter but it ended this way. I think in the next chapter I am going to make Bella get really close to Jacob so he holds her broken heart together but then he goes to far when she agrees to be his girlfriend and tells him that she loves him because she is afraid if she doesn't he won't hold her together any more and that is when he goes to far so tell me what you think of the idea! Cause if I use this idea Edward will be coming in the next chapter! fan girl squee and you know you want Edward!! Read and Review please!! I have made a poll for the plot for the next chapter so VOTE!!
