。 it will have to be a long´distance friendship。 ̄ 
     I clenched my teeth together�察�glad he wasn¨t looking at my face�察�fighting against the sobs that threatened to 
overtake me again。 I needed to be strong�察�and I had no idea how。 。 。 。 
     ^You know that story in the Bible�拭院�Jacob asked suddenly�察�still reading the blank ceiling。 ^The one with 
the king and the two women fighting over the baby�拭院�
     ^Sure。 King Solomon。 ̄ 
     ^That¨s right。 King Solomon�察院�he repeated。 ^And he said�察�cut the kid in half 。 。 。 but it was only a test。 Just 
to see who would give up their share to protect it。 ̄ 
     ^Yeah�察�I remember。 ̄ 
     He looked back at my face。 ^I¨m not going to cut you in half anymore�察�Bella。 ̄ 
     I understood what he was saying。 He was telling me that he loved me the most�察�that his surrender proved 
it。 I wanted to defend Edward�察�to tell Jacob how Edward would do the same thing if I wanted�察�if I would let 
him。 I was the one who wouldn¨t renounce my claim there。 But there was no point in starting an argument that 
would only hurt him more。 
     I closed my eyes�察�willing myself to control the pain。 I couldn¨t impose that on him。 
     We were quiet for a moment。 He seemed to be waiting for me to say something�察�I was trying to think of 
something to say。 
     ^Can I tell you what the worst part is�拭院�he asked hesitantly when I said nothing。 ^Do you mind�拭�I am 
going to be good。 ̄ 
     ^Will it help�拭院�I whispered。 
     ^It might。 It couldn¨t hurt。 ̄ 
     ^What¨s the worst part�察�then�拭院�
     ^The worse part is knowing what would have been。 ̄ 
     ^What might have been。 ̄ I sighed。 
     ^No。 ̄ Jacob shook his head。 ^I¨m exactly right for you�察�Bella。 It would have been effortless for us ! 
comfortable�察�easy as breathing。 I was the natural path your life would have taken。 。 。 。 ̄ He stared into space 
for a moment�察�and I waited。 ^If the world was the way it was supposed to be�察�if there were no monsters and 
no magic 。 。 。 ̄ 
     I could see what he saw�察�and I knew that he was right。 If the world was the sane place it was supposed to 
be�察�Jacob and I would have been together。 And we would have been happy。 He was my soul mate in that 
world ! would have been my soul mate still if his claim had not been overshadowed by something stronger�察�
something so strong that it could not exist in a rational world。 
     Was it out there for Jacob�察�too�拭�Something that would trump a soul mate�拭�I had to believe that it was。 

    Two futures�察�two soul mates 。 。 。 too much for any one person。 And so unfair that I wouldn¨t be the only 
one to pay for it。 Jacob¨s pain seemed too high a price。 Cringing at the thought of that price�察�I wondered if I 
would have wavered�察�if I hadn¨t lost Edward once。 If I didn¨t know what it was like to live without him。 I 
wasn¨t sure。 That knowledge was so deep a part of me�察�I couldn¨t imagine how I would feel without it。 
    ^He¨s like a drug for you�察�Bella。 ̄ His voice was still gentle�察�not at all critical。 ^I see that you can¨t live 
without him now。 It¨s too late。 But I would have been healthier for you。 Not a drug�察�I would have been the air�察�
the sun。 ̄ 
    The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half´smile。 ^I used to think of you that way�察�you know。 Like 
the sun。 My personal sun。 You balanced out the clouds nicely for me。 ̄ 
    He sighed。 ^The clouds I can handle。 But I can¨t fight with an eclipse。 ̄ 
    I touched his face�察�laying my hand against his cheek。 He exhaled at my touch and closed his eyes。 It was 
very quiet。 For a minute I could hear the beating of his heart�察�slow and even。 
    ^Tell me the worst part for you�察院�he whispered。 
    ^I think that might be a bad idea。 ̄ 
    ^Please。 ̄ 
    ^I think it will hurt。 ̄ 
    ^Please。 ̄ 
    How could I deny him anything at this point�拭�
    ^The worst part 。 。 。 ̄ I hesitated�察�and then let words spill out in a flood of truth。 ^The worst part is that I 
saw the whole thing ! our whole life。 And I want it bad�察�Jake�察�I want it all。 I want to stay right here and never 
move。 I want to love you and make you happy。 And I can¨t�察�and it¨s killing me。 It¨s like Sam and Emily�察�Jake 
! I never had a choice。 I always knew nothing would change。 Maybe that¨s why I was fighting against you so 
hard。 ̄ 
    He seemed to be concentrating on breathing evenly。 
    ^I knew I shouldn¨t have told you that。 ̄ 
    He shook his head slowly。 ^No。 I¨m glad you did。 Thank you。 ̄ He kissed the top of my head�察�and then he 
sighed。 ^I¨ll be good now。 ̄ 
    I looked up�察�and he was smiling。 
    ^So you¨re going to get married�察�huh�拭院�
    ^We don¨t have to talk about that。 ̄ 
    ^I¨d like to know some of the details。 I don¨t know when I¨ll talk to you again。 ̄ 
    I had to wait for a minute before I could speak。 When I was pretty sure that my voice wouldn¨t break�察�I 
answered his question。 
    ^It¨s not really my idea 。 。 。 but�察�yes。 It means a lot to him。 I figure�察�why not�拭院�
    Jake nodded。 ^That¨s true。 It¨s not such a big thing ! in comparison。 ̄ 
    His voice was very calm�察�very practical。 I stared at him�察�curious about how he was managing�察�and that 
ruined it。 He met my eyes for a second�察�and then twisted his head away。 I waited to speak until his breathing 
was under control。 
    ^Yes。 In comparison�察院�I agreed。 
    ^How long do you have left�拭院�
    ^That depends on how long it takes Alice to pull a wedding together。 ̄ I suppressed a groan�察�imagining 
what Alice would do。 
    ^Before or after�拭院�he asked quietly。 
    I knew what he meant。 ^After。 ̄ 
    He nodded。 This was a relief to him。 I wondered how many sleepless nights the thought of my graduation 
had given him。 
    ^Are you scared�拭院�he whispered。 
    ^Yes�察院�I whispered back。 
    ^What are you afraid of�拭院�I could barely hear his voice now。 He stared down at my hands。 
    ^Lots of things。 ̄ I worked to make my voice lighter�察�but I stayed honest。 ^I¨ve never been much of a 
masochist�察�so I¨m not looking forward to the pain。 And I wish there was some way to keep him away ! I 
don¨t want him to suffer with me�察�but I don¨t think there¨s any way around it。 There¨s dealing with Charlie�察�

too�察�and Ren└e。 。 。 。 And then afterward�察�I hope I¨ll be able to control myself soon。 Maybe I¨ll be such a 
menace that the pack will have to take me out。 ̄ 
    He looked up with a disapproving expression。 ^I¨d hamstring any one of my brothers who tried。 ̄ 
    ^Thanks。 ̄ 
    He smiled halfheartedly。 Then he frowned。 ^But isn¨t it more dangerous than that�拭�In all of the stories�察�they 
say it¨s too hard 。 。 。 they lose control 。 。 。 people die。 。 。 。 ̄ He gulped。 
    ^No�察�I¨m not afraid of that。 Silly Jacob ! don¨t you know better than to believe vampire stories�拭院�
    He obviously didn¨t appreciate my attempt at humor。 
    ^Well�察�anyway�察�lots to worry about。 But worth it�察�in the end。 ̄ 
    He nodded unwillingly�察�and I knew that he in no way agreed with me。 
    I stretched my neck up to whisper in his ear�察�laying my cheek against his warm skin。 ^You know I love 
you。 ̄ 
    ^I know�察院�he breathed�察�his arm tightening automatically around my waist。 ^You know how much I wish it 
was enough。 ̄ 
    ^Yes。 ̄ 
    ^I¨ll always be waiting in the wings�察�Bella�察院�he promised�察�lightening his tone and loosening his arm。 I pulled 
away with a dull�察�dragging sense of loss�察�feeling the tearing separation as I left a part of me behind�察�there on the 
bed next to him。 ^You¨ll always have that spare option if you want it。 ̄ 
    I made an effort to smile。 ^Until my heart stops beating。 ̄ 
    He grinned back。 ^You know�察�I think maybe I¨d still take you ! maybe。 I guess that depends on how 
much you stink。 ̄ 
    ^Should I come back to see you�拭�Or would you rather I didn¨t�拭院�
    ^I¨ll think it through and get back to you�察院�he said。 ^I might need the company to keep from going crazy。 
The vampire surgeon extraordinaire says I can¨t phase until he gives the okay ! it might mess up the way the 
bones are set。 ̄ Jacob made a face。 
    ^Be good and do what Carlisle tells you to do。 You¨ll get well faster。 ̄ 
    ^Sure�察�sure。 ̄ 
    ^I wonder when it will happen�察院�I said。 ^When the right girl is going to catch your eye。 ̄ 
    ^Don¨t get your hopes up�察�Bella。 ̄ Jacob¨s voice was abruptly sour。 ^Though I¨m sure it would be a relief 
for you。 ̄ 
    ^Maybe�察�maybe not。 I probably won¨t think she¨s good enough for you。 I wonder how jealous I¨ll be。 ̄ 
    ^That part might be kind of fun�察院�he admitted。 
    ^Let me know if you want me to come back�察�and I¨ll be here�察院�I promised。 
    With a sigh�察�he turned his cheek toward me。 
    I leaned in and kissed his face softly。 ^Love you�察�Jacob。 ̄ 
    He laughed lightly。 ^Love you more。 ̄ 
    He watched me walk out of his room with an unfathomable expression in his black eyes。 

                                                  27。 NEEDS
