The Blessed One

A/N: This is a very short POV of Jacob’s I just wanted to have his reaction to Natalie jumping in here so it’s not as detailed as the others might be. Anything event with Bella and Jacob that has already been written in the book will probably end up like this since we all already know how it panned out.

Things changed after that dream Natalie became quite and starting avoiding us. She didn’t even sit with us at lunch anymore it looked as if Sam had gotten to her as well as Embery. I had lost two friends to a guy who thought he ran the damn reservation. I used my time with Bella to keep my mind off of it. When I wasn’t working on the bikes we were doing homework together. Today Bella and I were going out to ride the bikes since I had just finished them. When we reached the road that lead to the area we were going to go ridding Bella freaked out at seeing the people jump off the cliffs.

“Chill Bella its okay they are cliff diving” I said trying to calm her.

“Cliff diving?” Bella repeated

“Yeah it’s something a lot of the kids around here do for fun” I said

“Have you ever done it” She asked

“I have before but never from that high. The water must be freezing right now.” I replied

Then she got that look. It was a new looked to Bella it was like this reckless glimmer she got. She had it when she asked me to fix the bikes.

“Will you take me sometime?” She asked

“Sure but once it warms up” I said I looked up at the group of people as Bella put the truck back into drive.

Embery stood with two other boys and Natalie was standing by a log looking directly at me. She had such a lost look written on her face. I turned my head away as we drove by I couldn’t stand to see her that way and not be able to do anything about it.

I found out Bella is as clumsy on a bike as she was on her feet. I wound up driving her to the ER so she could get some stitches because she had hit her head. As I sat in the waiting room I saw Embery walk out to the Soda machine. I got up and walked over to him, I had just seen him out at the cliffs why was he out at the hospital had someone been hurt, was his mom okay.

“Hey Embery why are you here?” I asked walking up behind him

Embery turned around and looked around for a second and then took a deep breath.

“Natalie is here. After you and Bella drove by something snapped in her I guess and she jumped off the cliff. She got pretty banged up on the rocks her ankle even got caught at some point. When Sam carried her out of the water she was still unconscious.” Embery said softly

My heart sank Natalie was hurt. Was this my fault was it because I had left her and spent so much time with Bella?

“Is she going to be okay?” I asked almost demanding

“Yeah she had a concussion the doctors want to keep her over night just to keep an eye on her. Sam went to go get some things for her.” Embery said softly

“What’s her room number” I asked I had to see her make sure she really was okay.

“She is sleeping right now Jake” Embery said

“Please Embery I just want to see her” I said

“Room 258” Embery sighed
Jacob began for the elevator when Bella reappeared.

“Where you going Jacob?” Bella asked

“Natalie’s in here she was hurt today, I’m going to run up and see her before her cousin comes back” I answered

“Do you want me to come with you?” Bella asked

“No just stay here I’ll be back down in a second” I said before walking off.

I stood at her open door for a few seconds looking in at her. I walked over to her bed and moved some of her hair out of her face. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep it was probably the one place she could escape the torment of her memories of her parents and the guilt she felt. I had done to her what everyone else had I had left her if I had evened out my time with her and Bella then maybe she wouldn’t of been caught up in her cousin’s gang maybe she wouldn’t be hurt. I was frozen in place when I heard her mumble in her sleep.

“Jacob…promise me…don’t leave” She mumbled

She was dreaming of me. I took in a deep breath and then a growling sound came from behind me.

I turned around and I saw Sam with his flunkies Jared and Paul. The sound was coming from the one named Paul.

“What are you doing here?” Sam demanded

“Nothing” I said as I walked to the door and pushed past them. My anger toward them came back full blast. If he hasn’t isolated Natalie she wouldn’t of been avoiding me and wouldn’t of jumped. This was his fault entirely I was going to find a way to get Natalie back but first I had to tend to Bella.
