The woods seemed so remote, no houses could be seen for miles and it appeared uninhabited by any human or animal. The light shining through the tops of the trees was dyed emerald-green by the waxy hearts of vegetation that acted as an umbrella over the cold, dark shadows of the saplings and shrubs. I stalked through the crisp leaves that crackled and crunched beneath my suede boots.
Eventually I found the field where me and Edward used to spend our days together. The withered grass was so long it easily reached my knees and the flowers were drooping gloomily, everything looked as though the life had been sucked out of it.
I had wanted Jacob to accompany me but this place brought back so many memories that I struggled to keep myself from breaking down in tears.
Later that day, I arrived back at Charlie's with a feeling of melancholy loneliness. But as I walked into my bedroom and threw my coat and shoes onto my already chaotic floor, an arm slipped around my waist and pulled me back into a toned, warm chest.
"Hey Bella. Where've you been?" Jake whispered into my ear as he kissed my neck.
"Out." I spun round and put my arms around his neck.
"Come on, spill! Where've you been?" He urged.
"Down memory lane…" I sighed.
"Come here, beautiful." He picked me up and swung me onto my bed. "Let me make you feel better!"
Jacob pushed him eager lips against mine as he clumsily ran his fingers down my stomach. I squeezed out from underneath him and walked into the bathroom for some air.
"Bella, are you okay?" Jacob said, knocking on the door.
"Just need some time." I spoke in almost a whisper as I sat on the bathroom floor with my head in my hands.
