The Rain Falls

For once since I had come to Forks, another week passed, but this time it went a whole lot quicker. I was starting to enjoy my time in Forks and I guessed it had something to do with Jacob and Emily. I was enjoying my time with them both, especially Jacob's.

Jacob ended up taking me home like he said, but he says he 'forgot' to tell me that Emily was also going to be helping him look after me. I couldn't believe how sneaky he could be. It was kind of cute actually. I loved it how he would do things like that for my own benefit when he knew that I wouldn't accept it because I didn't think it was right of my using someone else for my own benefit, like Emily looking after me. I didn't know why I didn't like accepting other peoples help, I just didn't. I liked been independent and a loner.

I couldn't get over how quickly my wrist, ankle and knee was healing. My wrist especially, was healing really fast. It still hurt a little, but I could now move it and use it a whole lot more than before.

I hopped outside into the yard and rain. I stopped at the step and looked up to the darking storm clouds that were gathering fast. I didn't even know that Forks got storms... I jumped down from the step and half fell over in my crutches, until warm arms saved me from falling. I flushed red and smiled, looking away from him, a little embarrassed.

"Thanks," I murmured, feeling hot in the cheeks.

"You need to be more careful Jade," he said with a low and calm tone, setting me back down. I turned around and looked at him, smiling and then hopping off again, through the grass quickly as I could.

It seemed to be that whenever I was close to falling or was falling, he was there to catch me, always. It was like he was my personal body guard, there to make sure that not one scratch would come upon me while I was in his eye sight. I didn't know what I would do without him.

"You're getting quicker," he said, following me quickly in a walk while I basically ran.

"Yeah," I panted and had to stop for a breath, feeling dizzy from running too fast, too soon. Again I fell backwards and he was there to catch me. I turned red in the face as I looked up into his eyes and then looked away again. I heard him almost silently laugh. I turned redder. Jacob had a way of making me embarrassed over the tiniest of things. I normally wasn't embarrassed at anything I did or accidently did, let alone be embarrassed twice in one day, within ten minutes...

He smiled and set me back on my legs, this time, keeping his arm around my shoulders as I tried to walk around again. I was about to thank him once more, when he placed his finger on my lips and looked down to me. "No problem," he whispered. "You don't need to thank me Jade. I'm here for you." I felt myself flush redder yet again from his words. He was too caring.

A crack of thunder hit over the clouds, followed by a flash of lightning. Jacob and I looked up to the clouds. It didn't worry me, but it seemed to concern him. I wondered what was wrong, what he was thinking about.

I heard the back door of the house go and then Emily shouting out to Jacob. "Jacob, Paul's on the phone, he needs to talk to you."

I looked to him as I heard her speaking. He looked to the ground with narrowed eyes and seemed to have tensed a lot. He ran over to Emily's side and took the phone from her, going inside to talk. I couldn't hear a thing he was saying, but I guessed that I shouldn't have been trying to hear what he was saying anyway.

Emily came out with a smile and came over to my side. "How are you feeling Jade?" she asked with a soft and kind tone.

"Better thank you," I smiled back and looked towards the house, wondering when Jacob would be back. "Who was that, that called Jacob?"
