Chapter 7: Acceptance.

I took three steps back, and took a running start, leaping over the river.

I glided to the front door, flinging it open. No one was there. I held my breath for a brief second , listening for the sound of a beating heart. I heard Jacob's. It was beating very fast; he was still in my parents' old bedroom.

I sprinted up the stairs, toward the huge oak doors, of the 3rd floor. I can to a complete stop right in front of the door -knowing my soul mate was behind them. The only thing that separated us were the towering doors.

Jacob must have heard me coming; he stood and started t pace- his heart beat accelerating. I took hold of the door handle, creaking the only thing that separated Jacob and I.

I poked my head in, "Jacob?" I whispered.

"Renesmee," he whispered back as a statement, pain found deep in his voice.

I opened the door completely - the barrier broken. He was standing close to the window- starring out in to the dark unknown.

"Jacob." I repeated, though not a question this time around.

He turned around swiftly, taking a step forward- hope in his tear stricken face.

"What is it your keeping from me?" I demanded suddenly wiping the hope clean from his face.

" I told you. I have imprinted on you, what else would you like me to say? To tell? To answer?" he said lightly, keeping all emotion from his voice.

"Sam . . .he said there were things . . . History .. . With yourself and my parents," I mumbled.

Jacob took a deep breath, "Are you sure you wanna know?" He questions his eyes finding my soul.

"Yes," I breathed almost immediately.

"Okay," He started looking uneasy. "Your mom and your dad have been together for quite a while now, since your mom was seventeen. They started to date, and your mother guessed the Cullens secret.

"Bella- your mom- was madly in love with your dad. But the night of your mothers' eighteenth birthday something happened- something that changed your moms' life forever.

"She was attacked by Jasper. Your dad thought it was to dangerous for her and he . . . Left. He thought it was what was best for her at the time. Though he was completely wrong.

"Your mom fell apart- she was . . . Dead. I remember that one day- when we became . . . Friends. She had brought over these bikes- motorcycles, I mean- and asked me to fix them. After that I started to fix them up so that we could ride together. Slowly over time she became. . .alive. Started to get back out there.

"But then one day when your mother - in my opinion- tried to . . .kill herself. Alice came back for her.. . ." Jacob explained the rest about how dad tried to kill himself in Italy and Victoria, and why Victoria was after her In the first place.

"Is . . That. . .all?" I asked after he had finished.

"No." He began. "Renesmee. . ." he took in a deep breathe" I was in love with your mother."

I felt a horrible pain spread through my body, seeping into my veins causing me pain from within. It was like someone had given me poison, undetectable until this moment in time.

"You. Loved. Her?" I said each word very precisely turning the sentence into a question.

" I did. But she loved. . . Edward more. She chose your father." He said hastily taking in my horror-struck face in, entirely wrong. I knew my mom and dad loved each other ; they couldn't live without each other.

Then I realized he used the past tense use of the word :Did. Did he not still love my mother? Did he stop when he decided he still loved me?

"Jacob I-" I was cut of by the feel of warm arms rushing around my waist.

Jacob large arms wrapped around my petite body, pulling it against his chest, crushing me to him.

I felt myself let down al the barriers I had built between Jacob and myself-the love restrictions.

I realized with a start that I loved Jacob. More than a friend- more than anything. Jacob was my soul mate and I could feel it- from the soles of my feet to the curls on my head. I loved him.

I removed my head from his chest and looked into his eyes searching for emotion, finding what'd she hoped to find- love.

I quickly closed the space the between our lips, placing one sweet kiss on his warm lips.
