A.N. Curious?
Narrator POV
Jacob quickly looked down, tears glimmering in the corners of his eyes.
"It's ok if you don't want to talk about it, Jacob. Esme, you shouldn't be so rude", Carlisle crooned.
"No, I'll tell you", Jacob replied looking up. Taking a deep breath, he began.
"It was on my eighth birthday. My mother returned home from work and promised to take me out for ice cream. Just the two of us, we left. I was so excited and hyper I kept distracting my mom. I asked her what flavor of ice cream she was going to have and she quickly turned her head around to answer. Out of nowhere, a truck, being driven by a drunk, speeds into our path and hits us." Esme and Rosalie gasp.
"It all happened so fast. One second I'm talking to my mother and the next second I'm being flung from the car through the wind shield. All I can remember next is that I crawl over to my mom's side and curl up to her, then some yelling and a siren. The next thing I know, I'm waking up in a hospital, with my dad asleep in the chair next to me. I had just come out of surgery a few hours previously from massive internal bleeding from my stomach and kidneys, stitches across my back from where glass penetrated, and my leg propped up completely braced. I had also dislocated both my shoulders and popped by right hip out of joint slightly. I had shattered my knee and femur. I nudged my dad and asked where mom was." Renesmee started to whimper.
"He started to rub my arm and said she was in a better place. I asked him what that meant and he said she was no longer with us, she was gone. I remember laying there for hours, sobbing on my dad's shoulder, while he whispered that everything would be alright. I got out of the hospital a week later, still bandaged up, just in time for my mother's funeral. I could never forgive myself for distracting her."
"Oh, Jacob", Alice reached over rubbing his uninjured arm, "It's ok. It wasn't your fault. I'm so sorry that happened to you."
"Dude", Emmett suddenly said, "that sucks." Rosalie, surprising everyone, jumped up out of her chair and ran over to hug Jacob. Rubbing his back, she dry sobbed, saying she was sorry for everything she had ever said. Taken aback, Jacob hugged her back, apologizing as well. Kissing Jacob's forehead, Rosalie swiftly left the room, along with Emmett and Esme.
Returning in a matter of seconds, Esme brought a huge tray filled with food. Remembering how hungry he really was, Jacob dug in, his eyes still glimmering with leftover tears, uttering an almost silent thank you. Bidding him goodbye, Bella, Edward, and Jasper left to hunt, leaving Jacob alone with Carlisle, Esme, Renesmee, and Alice.
Alice flitters of the bed and starts to fluff Jacob pillows and taking away his dirty dishes telling him she'll be back in a few hours. Carlisle and Esme step into Carlisle's office for a "chat", leaving Renesmee and Jacob alone. Getting up from her spot, Renesmee glides over to Jacob curls up next to him, and stares intently into his dark brown eyes.
A.N. Oh, what does Renesmee want to know? Was Jacob's story sad, or was it just me? I hope you really enjoyed this chapter. Please review and tell me if I should do the stories I described in the last chapter. Love you all, Hugs and kisses, and Happy Halloween.
