Jacob Black

I brought my self up as I turned to stare at the clock. It was only 5:13 am. I still couldn't bring myself to fall asleep. I tossed and turned on the other side of my bed as the moon was still peeking through the clouds.

 I patted the empty side of my bed as I slowly stood up.

I told Vera she could sleep in my room but she refused. And instead said, "not yet." She still felt guilty about everything as she decided to sleep out there in the couch. 

I obviously refused and as you guessed it....... she won.

I opened the door as I walked down the stairs. I could see her figure from up here. She was huddled up in a ball covered with a big blanket I had given her. 

I made it to the kitchen as I grabbed a glass of water. I opened the back door as I stood outside in the porch thinking.

What the hell am I gonna do now? 

First her being sick this whole time. When I found out just a few hours ago it broke my heart and it still does. Why did this have to happen? Out of all people in this goddamm world.. Why her?

I took a sip of the water as I leaned my head back resting the cup on the ledge. Then her dad not telling her about Arabella and Mattheo. Jesus when is it gonna end. Oh and let's not forget about my dear old sister. 

All I could do right now is be grateful that she's finally here. Here with me. 

I walked back inside as I placed the glass in the sink, I began walking back until I stopped in my tracks. I looked back at her knowing I shouldn't. But I really fucking want to. 

She shivered as the room was cool yet she still held onto the blanket. I walked towards her as I reached down picking her up bridal style. Her eyes remained closed as she leaned in closer to me. I smiled slowly walking up the stairs as I placed her down on the empty side of my bed.

 I put the blanket on her as I laid right aside her. Before I could turn off the lamp I felt as she moved and leaned her head on my chest. 

"Thank you ," she whispered.

 I kissed her head as I left the light on. 

A few hours later.....

I lifted my head as I felt the blanket thrown at my face. "W-What the--"

"Jake it's nearly 10 get up!"

I groaned as I covered my face with the blanket. "Come on I thought you'd give me an official tour of your house," she said as she hovered over me. Before I could answer I stuck my hand out knocking her down onto my bed. 

"J-Jacob!" I could hear her laughs as I tossed the blanket over us. "What are you doing?!"

 I leaned towards her as I whispered, "Move in with me?" 

"W-What?" 

"Move in with me." She looked at me confused, "You want me to move in with you like...right now?" "Yeah." She smiled as she said, "How am I suppose to move in with you when I don't even know how it completely looks?! For all I know you probably have a creepy basement and are hiding things from me!"
