My lungs inhaled deeply the refreshing, clean air. It was like an instant pain reliever for that sinus headache I'd started to get back there. What a relief. I felt ten times lighter. And I was happy that we'd gotten that milestone out of the way. Now Jake wouldn't have to worry about the promise that he'd made to Bella, and I would have to worry that he was worrying. If that made sense...
I looked at him when he started talking, my brow furrowing, "I already told you that I'm here for you. If you want me by your side, then say so. If you don't... well, then I can just stay outside and patrol or something," I shrugged. Yes, I wanted to be there for him, but then the other part of me really didn't want to have to go back into that house. Bleh, it was disgusting.
But I'd do it. I'd suffer gladly. for him.
"I'm sorry I was such a bitch in there, though. I couldn't help it, you know how I get," I smiled sheepishly. Out of anyone I knew, Jake was the one person I wanted to see me as more than just a bitch.
