Lots of love

xxx

The following morning Jacob woke up early, his wolf still purring with pure contentment as he felt his mate still sleeping soundly in his arms. He couldn't help but smile whenever he thought of her, how perfectly she suited him. She was his world, his everything and he would never regret imprinting on her.

It was then he realised that he had to meet Bella today, looking at the clock he noticed it was only half six in the morning. With a wince he remembered his lie, how could he have lied to her? It may have seemed small but to him he had lied to the girl who accepted him wholly, who trusted him more then he deserved and he couldn't help but hate himself for doing so.

Pressing his lips to her forehead he debated on what to do, while he wanted nothing more than to wake her up he found it difficult to do so when he took in her fragile sleeping form. She had told him she hadn't been sleeping well for a while now, that unless she was with him she didn't feel whole enough to completely shut down and let sleep overtake her. With that thought he gently slipped out of bed, feeling his whole body protest as he took in her small petite form which was swarmed in one of his shirts and a smaller pair of his boxers.

"I'll see you soon my mate" he whispered as he slipped on a pair of shorts and a thin shirt, gazing at her softly as she snuggled further into the sheets before he reluctantly made his way into the kitchen to leave her a note. He didn't want her to wake up and panic when he was gone, he knew how he would have reacted if the situation was reversed but then again he knew she would never have lied in the first place, again he felt his heart clench at the thought.

So with that on his in mind he quickly found a pen and paper and scrawled down a note, debating on whether to put 'love you' at the end before he realised they had yet to say it openly to one another. To be honest it wasn't needed, they could practically feel it radiating off each other but he made a mental note to remind her of it more often. He never wanted her to doubt his love for her, she was his complete and utter world the moment he caught sight of those entrancing grey orbs of hers.

Walking back into his room he placed the neatly written note on the small nightstand where he knew she would look for it first when she woke up, giving her one last kiss on her forehead before he reluctantly made his way out of the small room where his mate lay buried under the thin sheets of his bed. He didn't want to leave her, completely regretting his plans with Bella as he gently shut the door to his room behind him after giving his beauty one last look full of longing.

As he made his way to Bella's he hoped to make this an extremely quick visit, hoping that he would get back before his imprint woke and found him missing from her side. He knew she liked to sleep in more often than not, and since he had told Bella that he would meet her early in the morning he planned only to stay a few hours at the most and hopefully return to spend the rest of the weekend with his love…now that he was looking forward to.

Brooke soon found herself stirring in her sleep, not realising that her Jacob had left only an hour ago as she felt her body start twitching restlessly under the light fabric of the sheets. She wasn't fully aware of what was happening as she found her legs soon tangled in the now slightly damp sheets due to her tossing, the fabric constricting her movements as her breathing soon turned uneven and harsh.

It wasn't until she suddenly bolted upright shaking, her eyes fluttering behind her heavy lids that her mind was plagued with images she knew all too well. Sweat seemed to pour down her face as she felt her hands clench shut tightly, leaving indentations of her fingernails in the sensitive skin of her now marked palms as her eyes grew wet as the images continued on. This was one of the down sides of her gift, how she saw things she wish she hadn't and found it hard to cope.

The images continued to flash behind her heavy eyelids as she panted heavily under her breath, her face showing her true emotions as she broke down with harsh sobs raking through her body causing her to shake harshly.

"Oh god, not again please not again" she whispered over and over again under her breath, her eyes still clenched shut however hard she tried to open them. The images continued to flash through her mind, her palms now dripping with blood as they stained the pale sheets where she touched. She didn't notice; how could she?

Billy was sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of tea when he suddenly heard a crash coming from Jacob's room, a blush coasting his cheeks when he realised what must be going on. He couldn't help but shake his head, Jacob may be his son but he didn't know how the boy did it. He had already started leaving the house whenever Brooke stayed the night, heading to Sues only for her to laugh at his expense when he told her he needed a place to stay for an hour or two until he could return to a quiet house. She found incredibly amusing, it annoyed him no end but at least his son was more than a little happy.

It was when he heard a quiet pain filled cry from the room that he 'frowned in both concern and worry, looking down the small hall of his home as he recognised it as Brooke. What the hell was going on?

He was just about to see if everything was alright when Jacob's door opened, he didn't know what he expected to see but the sight he was soon greeted with definitely wasn't it. She looked a mess, her eyes swollen from crying as she clutched her chest as if it was the only thing keeping herself together. She also looked pale, very pale even for her and he was instantly concerned for his sons imprints health.

"Brooke, are you ok where's Jacob?" Billy asked concerned as he eyed the girl who was literally shaking like a leaf in front of him, the hand what wasn't holding her chest clutching the wall tight enough that her knuckles turned white with the strain of her grip. Where the hell was his son?

"Can…can you call Sam?" Brooke managed to choke out, her throat felt like it was constricting painfully as she barely managed to get the words out as she clutched her chest tightly as her heart rate increased to an alarming rate. She couldn't get rid of the images; she just couldn't when they were still so fresh in her mind.

"Are you ok, Brooke what's wrong?" Billy asked freaked out, though he was already heading for the phone as he never took his eyes off his sons imprint as she shook near the doorway of the kitchen. Where the fuck was his son? He knew that something serious had to be wrong for the normally bubbly and fresh looking girl to act so strangely, she wasn't having a heart attack or anything was she?

"Jacobs not answering his phone…with Sam…don't call hospital or Car-" was all she got out in a strangled gasp before Billy's eyes widened in panic as he watched as the girls eyes seemed to completely blank out before she crumbled to the floor, her head hitting the wooden floorboards with a loud thud as she went down.

"SHIT!" he swore loudly, thankfully seeing no blood as he quickly punched in Sam's number. Shit. He could feel himself panic, the small slip of a girl not moving as he took note of his now blood stained door as her hands seemed cut and torn. What the hell had happened to her?
