Whisper, whisper close to my ear.
Don't let go that feeling,
We'll be friends forever
Just promise me that you'd never leave,
Never leave me in the cold.
Don't leave me dying,
Don't leave me helpless.
Just know I'm here,
Here till you awake.


January 16th. Jacob Black's 3rd Birthday.

"Momma!" 5-year old Bella pouted impatiently. "When are we going to go to Jakie's house?"

"We're almost there." sighed Renee. "Charlie, how many more minutes?"

"It's just around the block," Charlie replied, turning the car to the left. "Just a few more minutes hon."

"But we've been driving forever!" Bella sighing impatiently. "I want to show Jakie his present!"

"Bella." Charlie sighed, pulling the car in a driveway that Bella wasn't familiar looking at. "We're already here, Just let me-"

"Oh goody!" Bella squealed, taking off her seat belt. "Papa, stop the car, I wanna see Jakie!"

"Hold on." laughed Charlie, as he shut off the engine. "Bella, calm down."

"Can I go out now?" Bella asked, literally begging now. "Jakie might get so so so worried!"

Renee rolled her eyes, as she stepped out of the car, and opening the car door for Bella. "Let's go."

"Yay!" Bella giggled, hopping out of the car. Bella followed Renee to the front door of the Black's house. "I wanna knock!"

Renee sighed as she allowed Bella to knock on the door. She was pleased that she wasn't knocking endlessly on their house, young kids could be so impatient, but yet she taught Bella polite manners. After 20 seconds passed by, with no answer on the door Bella knocked again, looking impatiently at the door.
Finally, which seemed forever to Bella the door opened greeted by Billy.

"Hello Bella, and Renee!" Billy smiled, gesturing for her and Renee to come in. "It's been months since I last saw you, where's Charlie?"

"Oh, well, he's fixing up the car." Renee sighed, as Bella ran inside the house. "It's been good to see you."

Billy laughed, "You know, Bella can come visit whenever she likes."

"Oh really?" Renee asked, breathless. This is amazing. Bella has been lonely ever since her birthday party. Her wish is really coming true. That Jacob boy is so nice..*sigh* "That would be wonderful! I always thought you would be busy.."

"Nonsense!" Billy laughed, going back inside as Renee followed him. "You and your family are very welcome here."

"Thank you so much." Renee beamed, he truly had no idea how thankful she is. I would do anything to see Bella smile again. Sad thoughts washed over her. Ever since Jacob left on Bella's birthday party, she was nothing but upset how she had no friends, and how her wish didn't come true. Bella looked like the walking dead around the house, refusing to meet any other kids till she saw Jacob again. It as until this month that Charlie announced the invitation to Jacob's birthday that she looked so alive, so happy. She was full of smiles ever since, but impatient ones. And if she could do anything to see that again after the party, she would.

"Renee?" Billy asked, touching her shoulder lightly. Renee blinked a few times, before realizing she drifted into her own thoughts.

"I'm sorry," Renee apologized, giving a warm smile. "Bella was nothing but a wreck ever since Jacob left. Now seeing her smile, it touches my heart."

"At least she's happy now." Billy said softly, glancing over to Bella and Jacob who we're playing tag in the living room. Laughter and smiles filled the room. "Now your more then welcome to visit any time. You, Charlie and Bella are family now."

"Thanks." Renee said, almost in a whisper. "You have no idea how much thankful I am."

Billy chuckled, "It's my pleasure. Say, when is Charlie going to be finished?"

"I have no idea." Renee sighed, "He's right out in the driveway, I'm going to check on him."

"I'll come too." Billy nodded, before following Renee outside he wanted to let the kids know where they are. "Bella, Jake, if you need us, we'll just be out in the front."
Billy waited for their answer, but all he heard was laughter, and the sound of their feet running around the room. He chuckled lightly to himself before going outside to greet Charlie. Kids.

~o~
Bella and Jake.

"Hello Bella, and Renee!" Billy smiled, gesturing for Bella and Renee to come in. "It's been months since I last saw you, where's Charlie?"

"Oh, well, he's fixing up the car." Renee sighed. Bella was so impatient she didn't want to hear this grownup talk anymore. She rushed inside the house, eager to find Jacob. She was waiting for months to see him.

"Jacob!" Bella said loudly, hoping Jacob would appear. "I'm here!"

"Bella?" Jacob asked, coming from the kitchen. "Oh bella!"

Bella laughed as Jacob rushed to give her a hug. "I was so so sad, i thought you wouldn't come over to play with me!" Jacob was almost in tears, but quickly rubbed them away. "Let play pilot O-tay?"

"Okay." Bella agreed, picking up Jacob as he filled the room with giggles. She liked carrying him around the house, it was so fun it looked like he was flying! "You will be the plane, and I will be the pilot, where should we fly today captain?"

"To the living roooooooom!" Jake squealed, holding back tears of happiness as he spread his arms around Bella's neck.

After minutes and minutes of flying all around the house, they went back to sit down at the living room carpet.

"We are now landing!" Bella announced proudly, as she gently put Jacob back on the ground. "Thank you for flying with us today!"

Jacob started to giggle, as both he and Bella sat down on the carpet. "I want to play tag now Bella!"

"Kay." Bella agreed, standing up. "Your it!" She grinned, poking Jacob before she ran out of tbe room.

"No fair!" Jacob hiccuped, running after Bella. "Me no it! Me birthday boy, so you it!"

Bella sighed, turning around. "Fine I'm it, but I'm going to count to 10 and you have to hide. Kay?"

"Ok." Jacob agreed, bobbing his head up and down before running away to hide somewhere in the house.

"One," Bella counted slowly but loudly, closing her eyes tight as Jacob ran into each room, not knowing where to hide.

"Two."

""Bella, Jake, if you need us, we'll just be out in the front." Billy's voice boomed over the house, filling the air. But nobody replied as Jake and Bella started laughing. Bella loved this game, really she did.

When the laughter died down, Jacob paid no attention anymore as he almost went to tears. He had nowhere to hide! Then an idea hit him, -- daddy's room! He rushed over upstairs, "Three," Jacob gulped as he heard Bella say "four." He was careful to not make any noise as he hid in Billy's room, closing the door behind him. "Five."

Jacob panicked, where in the room should he hide? His eyes flickered over to the bed "Six," A huge grin formed on his face. "Seven," He dived into the bed, making himself bounce on the soft bedding as he covered himself under the blanket making sure he looked flat on the bed. "Eight." He shifted uncomfortably, "Nine" before deciding to lay on his stomach. "Ten." A huge sigh of relief came out of his mouth, he's finally safe -- from Bella at least. "Ready or not, Jakie here I come!"

Jacob held his breath in, listening to Bella's thump, thump, thump footsteps creeping closer and closer. 3 minutes flew by, and Jacob's throat was bursting!. He breathed in, letting go of the air he kept in. but then his eyes went wide as he felt something went in and get stuck in his throat. He sat up panicked, he was choking on something!
Jacob put one of his hands on his throat, choking on whatever was inside his mouth. "Can't -- breathe!" He gasped, his eyes rolling all the way back to his head.
He listened to Bella's Thump, thump. Her footsteps became louder and louder. "Jakie?" He could hear her enter rooms, and the sound of doors being opened and closed. He decided to rush out The game didn't matter anymore. as his face began to show many emotions. Fear, sad, angry, lifeless. It didn't take him long enough to bump into Bella -- she was only across the hall.

"Jake?" Bella asked, turning around. A huge grin covered her face, but slowly faded away as she saw his face giving different emotions. "Jake whats wrong?"

Jacob's legs began to feel wobbly, as he kept his hands on his throat "I'm going to die!" Jacob gasped, as he clutched his other hand to his leg his throat was burning.
"Jacob!" Bella gasped, feeling terrified not letting herself touch him. she had no choice but to leave him. "I'm going to get help!" Without giving it a second thought, she sped all the way downstairs, all the way to the front door -- all the way to get out. She needed to get help, she needed Jacob to be alive.

"Billy! Billy!" Bella yelled as her feet ran and ran, her tears were blinding her eyes but she didn't care. All she cared about was Jakie. "BILLY!"

Bella turned to her right, running towards Billy or well that's what she thought she was doing at first.

"Bella what's wrong?" Renee asked, not keeping her eyes away from the ground. Her eyes then flickered toward her daughter while her terrified eyes watched her run blindly into the road. "BELLA Where are you going! Stop!" Renee shrieked, panick filled her mind. She yelled, begging for her to stop but it wasn't enough for Bella to stop she was furios at her mother. Why is she telling her to stop? When Jacob needed her help the most?

Bella could hear her mother's muffled screams, and Billy and Charlie's pleading yells to stop. She could hear them come running after her but Bella was puzzled. Why are they running after her? Wasn't she running to them? She waited as she ran to feel her mother's arms around her, but she didn't. Coldness bit her skin as she decided to stop at wherever she is now. -- In the middle of the road. Her mind began to fill her thoughs, all she heard was people screaming, and panicking. But why? Don't they know Jacob is dying?!?

"Mom!" Bella shouted, rubbing the tears from her eyes not aware of where and what is going to happen to her now. "Jacob is dying inside the house!"

It was then when she heard the screams of the public, the cars honking that her eyes flew open. And she wish she didn't, because right infront of her, a car was coming toward her. A car that was going to hit her.

"No!" Bella screamed, wanting to run away. But she couldn't, she was frozen and her feet was glued to the ground as her eyes looked to the driver in the car, he paid no attention as he was distracted by the mirror obviously staring at himself. She couldn't run from the nightmare. All she could do was stare, and stare as her life was seconds away close to dying. "Jacob needs me!"

Then everything went black.
And the only first thing that came into her mind was that..
Jacob is going to die.
