I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holds long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown
-Incubus "Aqueous Transmission"
"Riley, where are we?" I asked.
His eyes narrowed in confusion and he looked up at a figure. Well more like a few figures. My gaze shifted to the figures and recognized them quickly.
My entire family was staring at me. I sat up and looked around. There was way too much green to be Seiku. On my left there were huge mountains, covered in green and brown. On every other side of me there was forest. I was in the field again.
"P.J. How could you run off like that?!" My mother questioned me harshly. I stared at her face. Her pale skin, hazel eyes an dgolden brown hair was back.
Tears welled up into my eyes. I looked down and mummbled, "I couldn't do anything else. Running was all I could do."
I looked back up, swallowing my tears. My mothers eyes were soft now.
"Sweetie. It wasn't your fault. After you ran off," She knelt down beside me and continued,"Edward read his mind and we found out what the Volturi were doing. All I am going to tell you is that he isnt going to be bothering us anytime soon."
I opened my mouth but no sound came out. Then I remembered my dream. About Selene, the
"Mom, where are we?"
My father answered my question, "We are in forks Pax. Now let us go home."
I showed my father in my head what had happened. His eyes widened and then he nodded.
Without a second thought, I ran to La Push as fast as possible. It was sunset when I arrived infront of Jacobs house. It looked exactly the same. Tall trees surrounding, The garage for his bikes in the backyard and the red roof. I stepped onto the concrete ramp leading to the front door. As my hand lifted to knock, a million questions flew through my mind.
What if he's married? Maybe he's forgotten about me? Is he home? What if he moved? Does he like chocolate chip pancakes or waffles? Is he allergic to shrimp?
Like I said, a million questions. Before I could stop myself, my hand pounded on the door. It was about five seconds before he opened the door but it felt like eternity. When he opened the door I literally forgot to breathe.
His strong tan skin, his dark green eyes and golden hair remained untouched by father time. I stared into his eyes and then looked down. He wasn't wearing a shirt, just a pair of old jeans. He looked stunned to see me, so I had to intiate.
"Long time no see Jacob."
My face flushed with embarassment. After sixteen years of not seeing each other, thats all I could say. Then he kissed me. It was like our first kiss all over again. I felt warm and gooey inside, like a chocolate chip cookie when you rip it appart. I hardly even noticed when he lifted me up and carried me into the house. HE carried me into his bedroom and laid me on his bed.
Then he gazed at me.
"You don't know how long ive waited for this."
Then we made love for the first time for the rest of our lives.
