Chapter 7- At Least You Tried

When I awoke from my sleep I was on Jacobs bed and he was asleep on the floor so I crept out of the room as silently as I could and went into the kitchen and cooked up some bacon, eggs and toast for me and Jacob "What smells so good?" a tired Jacob asked as he stumbled half asleep into the kitchen and plopped down onto a stool "Probably the bacon, eggs and buttered toast" I said as I put the now cooked bacon and eggs onto two plates and two slices of buttered toast on the side of each plate and put one plate in front of Jacob and I sat down beside him and we ate in a comfortable silence until we finished "You're such a great cook Bells!" Jacob exclaimed as he patted his belly and I laughed at his antics "Why thank-you Jake" I giggled, blushing slightly as I put the dirty dishes into the sink.

"So… what do you want to do today?" I asked Jacob as we went into the lounge room and sat down onto the couch "How about rubbish movies all day and not do a thing but make fun of said movies?" Jacob asked and I nodded "Sounds like a lot of fun" I said "Oh it is" Jacob said wiggling his eyebrows and I couldn't help but laugh at him "Whatever" I said and picked out some Ben 10 movie I found "Seriously?" I asked incredulously "Why do you have this? I mean we were going to get crappy movies and make fun of them but this is just a joke itself! We don't need to watch it letter lone have it" I said shaking my head while laughing "Whatever" Jake said before grabbing Saw 1, 2 and 3 (merged into the 1 disk) and putting it into the DVD player before sitting down onto the couch beside me and then the movie started.

I couldn't concentrate on the movies, not because I don't like them but because my mind was reeling, rewinding and playing the past few days and yesterday and the thought going through my mind was "Vampires are real! My best friend and ex-boyfriend is a 'shape shifter' and I was kidnapped by vampires that seemed like they were smoking some form of pot or something and then was rescued by my best friend!". I was broken out of my thoughts by Jacob "You've been awfully quiet" Jake commented "Oh really…" I said "Yeah… are you okay?" Jacob asked "Yes… why wouldn't I be?" I asked "Ok then…" Jacob trailed off "How about we go cliff diving or down to the beach?" I asked standing up in desperate need to get outside and breathe "Sure… the beach sounds great" Jacob said a bit awkward as we walked outside and to the beach.

We stayed in a comfortable silence as we walked and when we got to the beach we walked along the shore line and after a while we sat down just out of reach of the waves and I extended my legs so my feet got washed by the waves as they rolled in "Do you ever wish that you could be something else?" I asked in a whisper "Not often… but doesn't everyone?" Jacob asked "I guess so" I said lying down and Jacob copied my action "What brought this up?" Jacob asked "I don't know… I just… nearly my whole life I've felt like something was missing and now that grandma Swan is dead I feel… even more… empty… you know what I mean?" I paused lolling my head to the side to look at Jacob as he stared at the sky.

Jacob just nodded and I continued "But now that she is gone I just… I've been wishing I was a butterfly… so then I would be free… free as a butterfly" I explained to him "Wow… that was… deep" Jake said and I laughed as I stood up and dusted myself off before rolling my jeans up to my knees and walked into the water up to my mid-shin and I started kicking the sand under my feet as I shoved my hands into my pockets "What do you wish you could be?" I asked Jacob as he walked into the water and stood beside me with his arms folded tightly across his chest "Well… I don't know… I'm already the thing I wish I could be so… I wouldn't know" Jacob answered and I just nodded.

We stood there relaxing for about 5 minutes before Jacob got a call from Renesmée so he walked onto the beach to take the call and I saw him smiling and laughing at what she was saying when I felt something cold brush against my legs and I shivered and had just started to walk back to shore when I felt something grab my ankles and I squeaked and tried to free my ankles as I thought it might have been some seaweed but it was no use so then I focused on the shape of what was wrapped around my ankles and it felt like two hands "Jake! HELP!" I yelled just as my ankles were pulled out from underneath me and I was being dragged deeper into the ocean "HELP! JACOB… HELP ME!" I screamed again when I was able to get free and keep my head above the water before I got pulled underneath the water again "BELLA!" I heard Jacob yell as he dropped the phone and ran after me but by the time he reached the water's edge I was already taken under the water and I screamed and screamed even though I was under water and soon my lungs and throat were burning as the salty water of the ocean went down my throat and into my lungs as I screamed and tried to get free and the last thought through my mind as I kept my mouth wide open "I love you Jacob and I'm truly happy for you… you failed in trying to protect me… but at least you tried" and just before I succumbed to the darkness I saw Edward in front of me smirking.
