𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐁 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍’𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃. The Cullens weren’t good for her. Edward wasn’t good for her. He’d tossed her aside like she meant nothing to him, when in Jacob’s world? She was 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. He’d been there for her through her breakdowns and restless nightmares— when she’d wanted to shut everyone out, he refused to back down. He’d been her 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑, warding Victoria away whenever she got too close. So then why was Bella so quick to want to rush back to Edward at the snap of fingers— making Jacob feel like he was nothing more than a mere placeholder in Edward’s absence.

Was Jacob being 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅𝐈𝐒𝐇? He knew this wasn’t about him.

Regardless, it didn’t make it hurt any less as they continued their tug of war for the truck door until Bella seemingly gave up, and before Jacob knew it? Her arms were 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐌. “Bella, please..” His tone was more desperate than he liked to hear, whispered into the fabric of her jacket as his own arms wound tightly around her. “I know you feel like you have to do this. I know you’ll have to face them at some point— face him. But please, not tonight.” Not when there were so many things he still needed to tell her. He 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐃 her. “Just— stay. For me.” He begged one last time while reluctantly pulling away ever so slightly to stare 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐘 into her eyes.

It's  those  damn  eyes  that  seal  the  deal.  That  look  has  it's  own  power  over  me.  "Not  at  some  point.  I  need  to  know  why  they  came  back."  I'm  not  naive  enough  to  believe  it's  because  of  me.  I  know  Edward  doesn't  want  me,  if  he  ever  did.  Some  selfish  part  of  me  needs  to  know  but  tonight  I  have  to  think  about  Jacob.  Who  deserves  better  than  me  treating  him  exactly  like  Edward  treated  me.

It's been a hell of a winter, but spring's here now and it's finally starting to feel like the sun's shining on us, too.

"damn," I say as the fish somersaults off the hook and into the lake, though I laugh. "So close! Good job, Bells," I praise. "Hey, uh, thanks for coming out here with me. You looking forward to hot dogs over the campfire tonight?" I try (and fail) to hide my own excitement.

Except  for  when  I  actually  have  to  fish.  Its  never  felt  natural  but  I  put  my  best  foor  forward  for  Charlie.  The  first  few  times  were  rough  but  with  time  I've  come  to  enjoy  being  his  new  fishing  buddy  even  if  I'm  no  good  at  it.  "Dad,  I'm  literally  repelling  the  fish  now,"  I  respond,  with  a  light  laugh.

Bella’s question may have gone unheard to the human ear. Luckily, for her? That part of him had died a long time ago— hearing 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐄𝐑 than that of any other creature that existed. In the darkness of her room, honey-golden hues flickered down to meet a deep shade of brown, the space between his eyebrows furrowing when their eyes met from where she was currently resting against his chest. “I’ll stay as long as you want me to. Forever, if you need.” It was the least he could do after 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 her, — albeit, with good intentions — and almost losing her 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍.

Bowing his head down to place a lingering kiss to the crown of her head, Edward then pulled back to gaze at her, fingers carefully combing through wavy brunette tresses as though one wrong move on his part could shatter her like porcelain. “I’m never leaving you again.. you know that, right?” He had 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐓 of grovelling to do, Edward knew that. But he was willing to do 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 it took to make things right between them. “I’ll do anything you ask of me to make it up to you. Just say the word.” Anything within reason, of course.

I  find  myself  feeling  small,  uncertain  of  how  someone  like  me  could  ever  occupy  space  in  his  world  for  more  than  a  blink  in  time.  I  want  to  believe  him,  to  trust  that  he  would  never  do  something  like  that.  But  what  happens  the  next  time  there's  a  close  call?  Or  when  he  starts  to  question  the  value  of  his  soul?
