Chapter 16

I looked at the Bright light comming from someone's skin. Maybe mom's, maybe dad's. I didn't care.
"Nessie." I heard Edward whisper. Yes. Edward seemed more appropiate. I was seventeen now anyways. Who cared that I called my father by his first name? My Jacob was dead. I suddenly felt a spasm of unease in my heart. Like acid through its pumping veins. I curled into a ball, trying to fix the pain. I sobbed, my throat ached and closed.
"Renesmee." I heard a deep, husky voice whisper. Someone stood me up, slowly, gently and crushed me to him. I wish I could see, but the tears in my eyes made that impossible.
"Nessie!" the husky voice called again, and this time, a wave of recognition shook over me.
"Jacob!"
He hugged my tightly by the waist and stroked my hair.
"I love you, Nessie. I wouldn't leave you that easily." he said chuckling and then lifted my chin with a long finger and gently kissed my trembling red lips. I sighed and breathed in his scent. He still smelled like a werewolf. That was good, I loved the Jabob slash werewolf smell. It had a nature and green edge that made me feel like I belonged in this mixed up world. He laughed under my lips and hugged me tighter. I rested my head against his chest, and he put his cheek on my hair.
"Jake." I stroked his face. It was moist on his cheeks. I cocked my head to a side and looked at him. He was crying. That broke my heart, even though I didn't even know why he was in agony. If he got a cut, I got my own bruise in respond. Tears welled up in my brown eyes.
"Jacob? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, honey. I'm just so happy to see you awake." he answered with a smile. This was the smile I had missed. It was happy, sweet. Lovely.
I kissed his smiling lips.
"Tell me everything." I said grinning back and stroking his cheek.
