Chapter 12: It's just a little crush! or not

"My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before; it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive-I'll find love again."

― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

I woke up two hours and thirty minutes later. I made my way to the kitchen sluggishly and found Charlie at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee with a plate of pancakes in front of him. I rubbed my eyes and covered my mouth as I yawned. I looked at the table and noticed a large variety of food choices. There were scrambled eggs with veggies, toast, a bowl of berries with whipped cream, even breakfast muffins. I tried to hide my shock as I sat across from Charlie certain I was still dreaming. I flinched at the reminder of my horrible nightmare.

"Morning Bella," Charlie said, as though breakfast banquets were a normal occurrence.

"Morning dad," I said pouring myself a cup of orange juice.

I grabbed a plate of pancakes, not really hungry; my stomach was still churning after the horrible image of burned flesh from my dream, but eating out of respect for Charlie. The thought of Charlie's concern for my eating habits made me take a muffin too. Charlie barely glanced at me to busy stuffing his face and reading the paper.

"You cooked?" I asked unable to keep the surprise out of my voice.

Charlie shook his head.

"Wasn't me," he said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Then who cooked breakfast?' I asked taking a bite of the chocolate pancakes. I let out a sound of approval as I finished off my plate. I loved chocolate chip pancakes but these were especially good. I pulled the plate closer and took another bite.

"I'm glad you like them." A familiar voice said from behind me. I turned around and found Jacob crouched down under the sink.

"What are you doing here?" I asked a blush spreading across my cheeks and my heart skipping a beat. I looked at him as though I was seeing him for the first time. His eyes full of light and happiness I could get lost in them. His hair was flawless, so silky, long, black, shiny, spilling over his broad shoulders. and practically begging me to run my fingers through it. His skin was radiating a glow, not un-natural like Edward's; his was more healthy, and natural.I just wanted to run my fingers through.

He smiled at my staring. His smile was incredible; the way his perfect white teeth contrasted against his russet skin was gorgeous. He really was beautiful in every way. Every part of him seemed new and improved. Had Jacob always been this handsome?

Jacob shrugged. "I came over to offer you a ride to school on my bike but then Charlie was hungry and I noticed the sink was leaking so I got distracted," he stated rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Then he smirked.

"You know how I am about fixing things." He stated.

I looked anxiously at Charlie. Jacob was offering me a ride to school on his motorcycle right in front of my motorcycle hating dad. Was he crazy? Charlie stood up, smiled and slapped Jacob on the shoulder.

"As long as you promise to come cook breakfast more often and finish fixing that sink I don't have a problem with it." Charlie said.

I exhaled noisily and shook my head. Charlie, my father, chief of police, had just been bribed with breakfast and handy work.

"Just be careful" Charlie added. I nodded.

"Sure," I said. I stood up. "I better go get ready," I said.

Jacob frowned. "There's no rush, are you hungry? Finish your breakfast" he said. I looked at all the food on the table. I grabbed another muffin and smiled.

"I'm good," I said. Jacob nodded.

"Okay," he said heading back to the sink. "I'll just finish up here," he said. I headed up stairs taking two at a time. I was trying to rush. I didn't want to make Jacob late for school too. I was in such a hurry that I tripped over a box on the floor. I fell and let out a yell and a curse. Why was I so damn clumsy?

"Bella, you alright up there?" Charlie called.

I rubbed my leg. "I'm okay!" I yelled back. I picked up the box realizing Jacob's gift was in it. I smiled softly. Jacob had been so careful with me, so gentle and helpful since Edward left. I shook my head. No, Jacob had been kind to me since the moment I met him.

No matter what I said, or crazy thing I did, he still supported me. It was no wonder I was in love with him. I shook my head fiercely. No, I couldn't afford to think like that. I was not in love with Jacob. I was just emotional last night and confused my feelings of friendship with love. I ignored the childish voice in the back of my head screaming liar, liar pants on fire.

I couldn't be in love with Jacob. It would ruin everything. Or it could make everything better. My mind protested. I sighed.

"It's just a crush" I whispered as I placed the box on my dresser, while I hung the dream catcher. Grateful for the small comfort its presence brought, I trailed my finger over the engraving. 'Sweet dreams Bella, love Jacob'. I pictured Jacob's smiling face downstairs waiting for me the thought brought a ray of sunlight to the darkness in my head.

"Okay maybe a little more than a crush," I admitted to myself.

I grabbed some clothes from my dresser and went into the bathroom. I striped and headed for the shower after setting them on the sink. I stood under the water, turning it up as hot as I could stand and I washed up quickly. After that, I dried quickly, threw my towel in the hamper, and got dressed for school in a pair of jeans and a red cotton shirt. I was really starting to like that color. As I was brushing my hair, I hesitated, watching myself in the mirror. I could see what my late night adventure had done to my face.

I was tempted to put on some of the old makeup Alice had brought me a few months before she left to hide the bags under my eyes. A little concealer might hide the bags. I debated silently with myself for a few minutes. Finally I shrugged, straightened my shoulders, and moved away from the mirror. It didn't matter. Charlie had seen me at my worse, Angela would be worried but she would understand, and as for Jacob.

I pause with my hand on the doorknob. Well he knew me to well to be fooled by make-up. As for everyone else, they didn't matter. The thought of what Edward would say flashed with an image of his disapproving face.

I chuckled at my silliness. Edward wasn't here anyway.

"He is gone, he left me, and he is not coming back." I said aloud to the empty room. "But I'm still here and I'm alive, and i've got Jacob." I said.

I made my way quietly down stairs and bumped into Jacob. I blushed and Jacob looked at me.

"How are you feeling?" he asked looking at my still red face.

"Fine," I said quickly looking away but the answer sounded too abrupt for Charlie.

He looked up from his meal. "Bella?" he asked.

I forced myself to look at him. Charlie's eyes searched mine, concern and affection showing through his expression.

"You sure you're alright? I didn't notice before but you look pale and the flu is going around…" he trailed off as Jacob came over and pressed his hand to my forehead.

"She doesn't have a fever." He said.

For a moment I closed my eyes this was too embarrassing. I could already feel my cheeks heating up. I hadn't realized how tired I was until that moment.

Then I sighed. "I'm fine," I said moving away.

"You sure," Charlie and Jacob asked at the same time.

I made sure to look them in the eye. "I'm sure," I said firmly.

Charlie looked like he wanted to protest. "If you aren't feeling well you could stay home, we could go fishing tomorrow and I could call the school and…" I shook my head cutting off Charlie's rambling.

Jacob looked at me for a minute with an unreadable expression and I was afraid he was going to side with Charlie. Instead a large smile spread across his face.

"She's okay." He said.

I gave him a grateful look. "I'll meet you at the lake at 5" I said getting up and putting my plate in the sink.

Jacob handed me my backpack.

"Thanks" I told him before turning to face Charlie. "Can you bring my fishing gear?" I asked Charlie.

Charlie nodded. "Sure thing Bells" he said. I could see he was still worried so I gave him a quick hug.

"Don't worry dad, I'm fine" I said before patting his shoulder. "I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night," I half-lied.

Truthfully, I barely got any sleep at all. "You sure you don't want to stay home and rest then." Charlie asked hopefully.

I smiled. "Bye dad," I said.

Charlie sighed in defeat. "Bye, Bella and Jacob" he grumbled.

"Bye Charlie" Jacob said as we left.

Once we were outside Jacob turned to me.

"I heard about what happened last night." He said.

I groaned and cursed Leah. "It's not as bad as it sounds." I said. I waited for Jacob to say something or give me a lecture. Instead he just smiled.

"Here," he said, handing me a red and black helmet before pulling on his own. Jacob's helmet had tribal symbols in black on red background.

"I figured you might need a ride," he said ruffling my hair before heading to his bike. Jacob straddled the motorcycle, the machine roaring to life. I stared at him dazed before I realized what I was doing and got on.

"Hold on," Jacob said, voice muffled but still audible over the noise. I wrapped my arms around his waist fighting the butterflies in my stomach. I allowed myself to relax and the heavy rumble seemed to free my mind from all the pain and confusion stuffed inside my chest and set it free. Jacob drove the bike out of the driveway and once we were far enough from the house that Charlie couldn't see he opened throttle and let it go full speed. I clung to him, my face pressed in his back inhaling deeply. The scent of his skin, fresh, masculine, and so very Jacob, made me close my eyes. How could anyone not love this man?

That thought made my eyes pop open. I lean back as far as I could with my arms still wrapped around him. I was not in love with Jacob Black! It was just a crush! The roar of the motor was deafening, and they turned a lot of heads when we pulled out of the parking lot. I blushed but Jacob didn't even blink. I guess he was used to people looking when he rode his bike.

"I'll pick you up after school and we can go get your truck" he said as I reluctantly let go of him and got off the bike. I nodded.

"Okay," I said but other than that I didn't move. I was staring into the eyes of Jacob Black while he stared back. He gave me this small smile and it felt like everything had disappeared. The sounds of voices, the people, everything in the school parking lot had just completely faded away and all I could see was Jacob, my Jacob. Our eyes locked with each other's, the once small smile on his face was now a big one. Not to mention he looked very handsome in a red T-shirt with the top two buttons open.

I was frozen in my place. It felt like I was in some sort of daze, just loosing myself in those dark eyes. I had never seen someone so beautiful. And that's when I realized I was staring and I blinked, bringing myself back to reality as the voices and people all came back. I quickly broke eye contact with him and looked down at my shoes, blushing.

"Here's your helmet back." I said without looking at him. When I finally looked back up I found him watching me with a bigger smile than before.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked shifting nervously. Did I have something on my face?

"You look really pretty." He stated.

My heart beat faster and I could feel my face heating up again. If I kept this up, all the blood in my body will go to my face. I forced a laugh.

"You're just saying that so I don't notice the helmet hair." I said running my fingers through the tangled strands.

"Nope, you know I'm not one for false compliments." He said reaching out and brushing my hair back behind my ears.

I blushed, took a step back, and I decided to change the subject. "I'm going fishing with my dad later." I said.

He stared at me blankly for a moment the words not registering.

"So, I won't be able to hang out at your house today." I said finished. I waited for him to say something but he got quiet.

"Is that okay?" I asked hesitantly, the want to invite him to go fishing, with Charlie and me, growing.

"But you hate fishing." Jacob said.

I couldn't lie. Jacob would see straight through me. He was like a Bella lie detector or something.

"No, I don't exactly hate it." I said slowly.

Jacob smirked. "But you don't like it either." He stated.

I sighed. "Sometimes being a good daughter means doing something boring to make your father happy." I said.

Jacob laughed making my heart flutter again.

"Well I wouldn't want to interfere with your boring father-daughter time." Jacob joked and I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face.

"Well, thank you Jacob, you're a real pal." I said.

Jacob smirked. "Just a pal? I thought I was your best friend." He said pretending to be hurt.

I raised an eyebrow. "If you teach me to ride your motorcycle then we'll talk." I joked.

Jacob winked. "We'll see." He said.

I patted his shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow" I said.

Jacob grinned and got off his bike. "Sure, sure Bells" he said before pulling me into a bear hug.

We said goodbye after that and I could still feel my skin tingling long after Jacob was gone. I went inside the school in a good mood ready for anything. I finished my class work, dodged questions from Mike and Angela, and I thought that maybe my day would be easy. I was opening my locker to get my books for my next class when Jessica came over.

"Hi, Bella," she mumbled, her arms wrapped tightly around her stomach.

I was going to ignore her, not in the mood for her attitude, when I noticed her red-rimmed eyes and her messy appearance.

"Hey, Jess" I said, looking concerned.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked.

"Sure," I said, grabbing my books and closing my locker.

"In private?" she whispered.

I nodded, following her into an empty classroom. She closed the door and stood turned away from me with her shoulder shaking. It was then that I realized that she was crying silently.

"Are you alright?" I asked putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Do I look alright to you?" she snapped, knocking my hand off her shoulder.

"If you did, would I be asking?" I snapped back angrily.

Jessica wilted at my tone, crumbling before my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I just don't have anyone else I can talk to about this." She said.

I wondered why she picked me instead of her precious Lauren but I shook it off.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Jessica opened her mouth. "I-I'm…" she trailed off before she started crying again.

"Just tell me." I begged unable to take anymore crying.

"I'm pregnant!" she blurted out.

I stared at her in shock. "W-what?" I asked, sure I had misheard.

She averted her eyes. "Or at least I think I am." She mumbled.

I looked at Jessica, seeing a fragile, lonely girl with no one to turn to.

"Did you take a pregnancy test?" I asked cautiously.

She glared at me. "Of course I did!"' she growled.

Based on her temper I didn't need to ask the results.

"Do you know who the father is?" I asked.

Jessica looked guiltily at the floor.

"Jess?" I asked.

She mumbled something.

"What?" I asked.

"I said it's Ben" she said and I gasped.

"Ben, as in 'Angela's boyfriend' Ben?" I said.

Jessica nodded.

"What…how could…when did…what?" I finally said.

Ben and Jessica? I couldn't wrap my head around it. I honestly thought that Ben and Angela were soul mates. That they would graduate, go to college together, get married, and have kids. I felt my heart squeeze. Was everybody I knew destined to be heartbroken?

"I feel guilty enough," Jessica said bringing me out of my depressing thoughts.

I forced myself to think of the matter at hand.

"When did this happen?" I asked.

Jessica looked like she was debating her answer.

"It's been going on for a while." She admitted.

I crossed my arms and glared. "How long is a while?" I asked suspiciously.

"Since November," she said and I did the math in my head.

"Four months!" I shouted.

Jessica nodded. "I went to this party, there was alcohol, and I was feeling bad. Ben was there and he and Angela had an argument. She left and we talked. I didn't mean for things to go that far but then he said I was beautiful and-" she cut herself off.

I looked at her angrily. "It wasn't a one-time thing Jess! You said it's been going on for months!" I told her.

Jessica paled and she looked like she was going to be sick. "I didn't mean for it to continue but every time we ended things he'd have a fight with Angela or my dad would yell at me or my mom was mad at me for some reason, or then Mike would reject me. I just wanted to feel wanted by someone who actually cared." She said, her eyes with tears.

I could understand that. I thought about how I was when I was in Arizona, how lonely i was. If given a chance would i have done the same?

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

Jessica shrugged. "I don't know" she said.

I wondered if this is how Renée felt when she found out she was pregnant with me.

"You have to tell Ben," I said. Charlie had wanted to know and I'm sure Ben would too.

"I can't" she said.

I could tell the thought frightened her.

"I can't" she said again the tears finally falling and streaming down her face. "I swore I wouldn't expect anything out of this. It was supposed to be like friends with benefits. No strings attached." She explained.

I didn't press her but I knew eventually Ben would have to know.

"Well the test could be wrong. You have to go to the doctor to be sure." I said.

Jessica gasped. "My dad works at the hospital. He can't find out." she said.

"You have to go to a doctor and make sure." I told her.

She nodded, holding her stomach.

"And you have to tell Angela" I added.

Jessica opened her mouth to say something, her eyes darting to my shoes, but I cut her off.

"If you don't tell her I will" I threatened. Jessica's head snapped up.

She ran across the room, slamming me into the wall. "Nobody can find out!" she said, she grabbed my shoulders, her fingers digging into my skin, leaving bruises.

"Promise me!" she shouted, shaking me. A thousand thoughts ran through my head, none of them clean enough to be said aloud. I heard the bell ring for class. In the back of my mind it registered that I was late for class.

"Promise me!" she yelled again.

"I promise." I said. She let me go and stepped back.

I ran out of the room before she could say anything else. The weight of Jessica's confession was heavily on my shoulders for the rest of school. I wanted to forget every detail but I couldn't. The worst thing was the situation was so familiar it made my skin itch. I went through the rest of my classes in a daze, answering questions when asked, speaking when spoken too. Twice I pulled my phone out to call Jacob for advice and twice I put it away unable to hit send. How could I even think of burdening him with this?

Evert time I saw Angela I felt like I might throw up. What kind of friend kept this a secret? When Jacob pulled up I tried my best not to make eye contact. If I looked at him I'd probably end up blurting everything out. I tried but I can't help but look at him. He sees me, too. He grins and waves.

"Hey, Bella!" he shouted, as I made my way to him.

"Hey," I reply with a smile, well aware that my cheeks are flushed and pink.

He waited for me to get on his bike but I looked behind him and saw Jessica talking quietly with Ben in the parking lot. Gosh, I wish I hadn't made that promise to Jessica. Angela should know what scum Ben actually is.

"So how was your day?" Jacob asks, almost like he just read my mind.

I groaned. "It was like taking a swim in the pits of hell covered in cooking oil." I said bitterly.

Jacob stared at me for a moment his eyebrows furrowed. Finally he laughed.

"Sometimes you're a little strange, Bella. Do you know that?" he asked.

I nodded. "I know. It's one of my many flaws" I said.

Jacob shook his head. "Actually, it's pretty cool." He said.

"You have to say that because your my friend." I point out.

He smiled in a sort of cocky way. "I never give false compliments" he said and I nudge him in the arm with my elbow.

I looked over his shoulder at Angela and Ben. Then I noticed Jessica by herself watching them from her car. The sad, lonely look on her face made my heart-break. Maybe Jessica was wrong for what she did but now she needed a friend. I looked at Jacob and find his deep brown eyes staring back at me expectantly. Maybe more than one.

"Let's go" Jacob said and I scrambled on behind him as he made the bike roar to life.

He handed me my helmet and, after I put it on, I wrapped my arms around him tightly, for safety of course…not because I wanted to hold him. Jacob smirked and we tore through the parking lot away from the school.

As we rode on I lifted my head and called over the wind "Where did you learn to ride a motorcycle?" and I felt Jacob body shake with laughter.

"Embry has a dirt bike. It's mostly the same I guess. Also, before she went off to college, Rachel dated this dude who let me take his bike for a spin every once in a while" Jacob shouted to be heard.

At the mention of Embry I felt guilty. I had yet to tell Jacob about what happened with Embry. But I wasn't sure how. I was a failure of a friend. I couldn't save him. I couldn't convince him to leave Sam's gang.

We pulled to a stop at a red light and there was no wind around us now.

"I talked to Embry last night." I said quietly.

Jacob tensed. "Really, what did he say?" he asked, after a minute, his voice thick with emotion.

I thought about the angry, bitter man who walked me home.

"He's hurting and he's angry." I said then I went on to tell him what Embry said hoping he could make sense of it.

He stays quiet and once the light turns green he zooms off. I wonder silently what he's thinking. Is he mad at me? Does he hate me? Did I screw everything up? I could feel a panic attack coming. The thought of Jacob hating me, frightens me.

I hold him tighter afraid of what he'll say when we stop. The only time we speak is when I shout directions. When we pull up to the Cullen's property I continue to hold him afraid that this would be the last time.

"Well, were here," Jacob finally says.

I nod and let go off him. I gave him a small smile, my lips trembling at the corners. "I guess this is goodbye" I said softly.

Jacob looks at my face and frowns. He gets off his bike to stand in front of me.

"What's wrong, Bells?" he asked gently.

I shake my head. "N-nothing, I'm fine" I lied.

Jacob sighed. "Is this about Embry? Did he do something to you?" he asked calmly but I saw Jacob's eyebrows shoot up, his eyes darken and his shoulder shake.

"No, I just thought you might be mad at me." I said quietly.

Jacob smiled, taking my helmet off, and brushing my hair out of my face. "Why would I ever be mad at you?" he asked.

"I couldn't help Embry. I had the chance and I blew it" I admitted and I closed my eyes waiting for Jacob to yell at me. But he didn't do that.

Instead, Jacob cupped my cheek and I open my eyes to see his expression. The sun light shines through the branches of the tree we are parked under and illuminates his face. He isn't angry. He looks just as calm and gentle as he always does.

"I'm not mad at you, Bella" he said and his hand that was cupping my cheek falls slightly. I can feel his calloused fingers tracing the outlines of my face, stopping on my lips.

"I like you, Bella. I really, really like you. You're my best friend and I want this" he says pointing his other index finger from himself to me "to be something you can be sure of." He said.

I open my mouth to say something but he stops me. "There is nothing that you could ever do or say that would make me not want to be your friend anymore" he states firmly. "Our friendship is special. It's something not a lot of people have. It's stronger than that."

I thought about it. This wasn't a crush I realized. The holding hands, the dancing, the dinners, and movies, and trips to the mall, and motorcycle rides, and the talking. I liked it. All of it. And I realized that when he touched me, I didn't want the sensation to ever leave. Because I loved Jacob and I wanted to be with him but…

"I love you too much to let anything ruin us." He said quietly. I looked at Jacob, his beautiful deep brown eyes met mine.

He lowered his face to mine, looking me straight in the eye. The tips of our noses were touching. His lips barely brushing over mine. Everything stood still for a moment, neither one of us spoke a word. I swallowed back the lump in my throat; my heart was beating in my ears, my breath hitched. Jacob's lips parted and his tongue slowly swept over them. My heart was thudding, my breath shaky – his lips… I couldn't take my eyes off of his beautiful, sexy, full lips…His tongue begins to tease me as he pushes and slides the tip against my bottom lip.

I can feel, taste his breath against my tongue. He begins to pull away and I throw my arms around his neck and close the space between us. His arms snake around my waist, pulling me closer to his body. His lifted me up so my toes were barely touching the ground. All my weight was supported by him. In a flash, he had my back against a tree, taking complete control. I gasp and moan into the kiss, pulling him closer.

His skin was burning and I felt like I was on skin was so hot. His muscles felt so hard. His lips felt so wet, so soft. He growled and his hands begin to move from my waist, falling down. I felt electricity. Jacob's hand tightened in my hair and he pulled me into him suddenly crushing his lips against mine. I whimpered into his mouth from the sudden intensity of it all.

It's than that I realized where we were.

"Wait!" I said pushing at his shoulders.

He lowered me to the ground and his hand slowly released its grip in my hair. I look at him and see his eyes flash black for a second before they turn back to their usual warm brown.

"Jacob?" I called, once he pulled away seeing the spaced out look in his eyes.

"Oh my god Bella, I'm sorry" he said, running his fingers through his hair.

I shake my head; the changing eye color must have been my imagination.

"Don't be," I said with a laugh. "I'm the one that jumped you"

Jacob paused looking at my face to make sure I wasn't upset and surprisingly I wasn't. There was no guilt or anger, or shame. I was content.

"I didn't know you were that strong" I said surprised.

Jacob looked confused. "What?" he asked.

"You lifted me off the ground. Don't you remember?" I asked.

He looked puzzled. "I did that?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yeah," I said.

He looked worried for a second then he smirked. "I guess I don't know my own strength" he said, with pride.

I grinned and felt his bicep. "Whoa, you're buff." I said pretending to swoon.

"What are you, like 16?" I asked, pretending not to know the answer.

Jacob shrugged. "Age is just a number baby. What are you now, 40?" he asked.

I laughed. "Almost" I said.

Jacob checked out my truck and, once he was sure no one had messed with it after Leah and I left, let me go on my way. I decided to ignore the stuff that happened in the forest. Because I knew that if I took a moment to think about it I would panic or over think things. And for once I just wanted to enjoy the moment. I hit play on my sterio playing the Cd jacob made and drove to the lake still calmly.

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space and now you're home
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space and now you're home
show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space and now you're home
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

You are, you are the love of my life [x10]

Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are

You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life
You are, you are the love of my life

Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do

You are, you are the love of my life


AUTHOUR'S NOTE: OKAY, I UPDATED. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I WAS WATCHING BREAKING DAWN WHEN I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF JESSICA BEING PREGNAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BELLA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH JACOB? ANY IDEAS OR REQUESTS? THE NEXT CHPTER WILL MOSTLY BE ABOUT CHARLIE AND BELLA. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEW!
