Final Chapter: End of a Fairy Tale.

It had been a few weeks since Jacob and I had fled to Brisbane Australia to get away from my father. I was starting to think they were never going to find us after all this time. I really didn't care if they never found us either. I was enjoying my time alone with Jacob, though we couldn't really do much in the way of spending money as we didn't have much. But just been together without knowing my father was about to freak out when he came in, was nice. 

I lay in Jacob's arms half asleep as he watched TV on our couch. It was an abnormally hot day and I was tired from swimming in the sea earlier this morning. I smiled, feeling Jacob's hand lightly brushing against my cheek, sending me off into deep sleep for a couple of hours. I felt so comforted and safe in his arms. I had never felt such a sense of security as what I had with him. 

"Hey, Jade," I heard Jake murmur after a long while. My eyes slowly fluttered open and closed again as I smiled against Jacob's lips. I always loved how he woke me up like this. His kiss was so caring, loving, sweet, passionate and tender. I never got used to how Jacob kissed me like this. My arms wrapped around his neck, deepening the kiss slightly. I moaned into his mouth as he pulled away. He looked me in the eye sternly while smiling crookedly. I knew that look meant I had once again gone overboard and pushing his limits. 

"Sorry," I murmured lightly, feeling my cheeks go a light pink.  

"It's alright. You're only human," he whispered, smiling, pecking my cheek and rewrapped his arms around my body, pulling me into him as he laid back against the arm rest of the couch. I giggled and smiled, leaning over top of him as he gazed into my eyes. His warm hand cupped my cheek. That brought a smile to my lips. 

"I love you Jade," he whispered huskily.  

"I love you too, Jake." 

He smiled his bright and beautiful smile at my words, making my heart warm with seeing it. I didn't know what I would do without Jacob. He was my whole world. I wouldn't be able to live without him by my side. 

His hand found my own and gave it a little squeeze. "C'mon, let's go." 

"Where to?" I questioned, trusting him fully and giving his hand a squeeze back. 

"I think, to that rainforest place, just up the beach. I think it would be pretty cool to explore." 

"Alright," I smiled and nodded. I did have to agree that place looked pretty cool. It was like a small island, though it was still connected to a thin strip of land and sand leading up to it.  

A smug smile came over Jacob's lips then. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" He sat up quickly and ran to the door.  

I rolled my eyes and pretended to huffed. "Not again Jacob, I'm tired," I whined. 

The smug smile disappeared as he came back over to the couch where I still sat, acting as though I wasn't in the mood to play his games.  

He sat beside me, looking slightly worried. My eyes flashed to his face as I pushed him back into the couch's seat and took off running out the door. I heard him yell "No fair Jade!" as I left. Jacob always played tricks like that on me. I thought it was about time I did the same to him. 

I ran along the beach as quick as I could, knowing it wouldn't be long before Jacob caught up. Been half animal always made him faster than I at running and any other game we played together. The sand lifted under my feet with each swift step I took. My legs were aching and burning by the time I got to the little rainforest like island. I was panting and breathless. As I stopped, I felt warm arms wrap around my waist tightly, picking me up into his loving arms. I squealed playfully with Jacob as he leaned up against a tree, as he kissed me while still holding me in his arms.
