CHAPTER TWENTY ONE || BEACON HILLS

"Yeah Scott— There's a lot, it would probably be better to explain in person. But Matteo, He's gone to Italy, He wants one of you to come up here if you can... forks isn't as safe as we thought" Violet explained holding her phone to her ear as her free hand laid in her lap, the brute strength of her anxiety causing her hand to shake as her fight or fight became a permanent state...

"It isn't safe? Vi are you alone?" Scott's voice echoed through Violet's ears as Jacob returned to the couch, sitting beside Violet he instantly noticed her shaky hands.

"Uh no. I'm with Jacob- He's Kinda like you and Matt" Violet revealed unsure of how to explain everything over the phone. Jacob's hand slowly found Violet's, The shaky hand that laid across her lap now covered my Jakes, His brown eyes staring across at her at the realisation she was still cold.

"Alright Vi- I'll speak to Lydia we'll try and get there tomorrow. Just stay with Jake until then." Violet nodded despite the fact Scott couldn't see her while Jacob urged her to sit closer to him.

"Yeah- I will thank you." She muttered before ending the phone call and shifting her position on the couch to sit closer to Jacob, His arm wrapping around her shoulders in an attempt to warm her up.

"Matt— He's a good brother, He looks after you" Jacob whispered as his hand rubbed Violet's shoulder while his warmth enveloped her, Violet shrugged letting her head fall to his shoulder.

"He tries.. Gets a bit much sometimes" Violet shrugged as her thoughts began drowning her— The day had been involuntarily confusing, The cliff, The kiss... Now matt was Gone and Scott was on his way...

"I'm sure he has his reasons" Jacob's eyes fell on Violet's wrist— Where he had seen the scars day prior. Violet Gulped, Swallowing the lump in her throat and nodded.

"I wanna go home" Violet sighed standing up, Knowing she couldn't be at the Swan house when Charlie got back— She didn't want to have to tell him his daughter had left, Right after the death of one of his best friends...

"You know you don't actually have to stay right?" Violet shrugged as she walked into her bedroom after taking a shower— Jacob shrugged from his seated position on the edge of her bed.

"I'm not Leaving you here alone with Victoria out there." Jacob shook his head— There's no way he was leaving her in danger. Violet sighed hands brushing over the strap top she had on.

"You can Borrow some of Matteo's sweat pants if you're sleeping" Jacob nodded with a grateful soft smile before Violet went to retrieve a pair.

When Violet returned to her bedroom she threw Jacob the pair of Sweatpants, he caught them before standing up to go and Change. Violet sighed Anxiety fuelled Nausea attacking her stomach as she thought about Matteo— Bella, What they were about to face... And Jacob, The kiss... A kiss she wasn't sure what meant.

Sighing the Lewis girl pulled back the covers on her bed, A soft chill still consuming her body as she got into bed. Letting her body fall into the soft comforting sheets she wished the mattress would just swallow her— Wished her bed could serve as an escape, Yet it didn't.

Mere moments later Jacob returned to Violet's room— dark grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips while his upper body remained bare. The soft dim lights of Violet's bedroom accentuating each and every toned muscle across Jacob's body, Violet's body having a physical reaction to his godly physique almost taking her breath away.

"You got any Blanket's?" Jacob asked as he approached the end of Violet's bed, Violet rose a brow at his question and asked; "Why?"

"The floor Vi" Violet sighed at his words- She didn't want him to sleep on the Floor, Her mind rushed with mixed signals... Yet he was Warm, Comforting and he made her feel safe. and that was exactly what she needed.

"Shut up Jake- Come here" A smirk grew on Jacob's lips as he approached the bed, Sitting down on the other side of Violet's bed he shifted, Violet could feel the mattress dip under his weight as he got comfortable.

"are you still cold?" He asked, His voice soft once again- a tone of voice Violet had realised he only ever used when around her. She nodded softly as Jake looked at her.

"personal radiator remember?" His words incited a weak giggle to escape Violet's lips as she shifted moving closer to him— His warmth already causing the sheets surrounding him to warm up. A weak sigh of relief escaped Violet's lips as she returned to his arms.

Silence consumed them as They grew comfortable in Violet's bed, Her head falling on Jacob's chest as she relaxed in the 108 degree heat that was Jacob black— But it wasn't only that, that comforted her. It was him, everything about him.

"These people— Scott. They're like Matt?" Violet nodded confirming Jakes suspicions as she closed her eyes, Jakes muscular arm wrapped around her.

"Lydia's a banshee- Stiles is human" Her tone of Voice broke as she mentioned the Familiar stilinski boy causing Jake to raise a brow.

"and your dad? He's still in california?" beacon hills california. the twins father had been there for months chasing ghosts— forgetting he even had children.

"Yeah— Not really sure when he's coming back" Violet shrugged as Jacob's scent and warmth enveloped her, Consuming her senses and drowning her in comfort.

"I never got the chance to thank you earlier on— For getting me and Bella out the water" She mumbled trying to steer her thoughts away from her brother and cousin— causing herself sickening anxiety wouldn't help anyone.

"you don't ever have to thank me for helping you" Jacob reassured rubbing violets back. She shook her head shifting into a position where she could look him in the eye.

"I don't want you to think i'm just some stupid human who can't protect herself- My best friend she was a hunter, she taught me somethings" Jacobs eyes narrowed at violets stress laced words as he looked at her.

"I never said that Vi- I just need to know you're safe. I wanna be the one who makes sure you're safe" Jacobs words tugged on Violet's heart as she stared into his brown eyes— how did she think she was the second Choice..

"you do?" Jacob nodded softly his hand coming up to Cup violet's cheek once again, His brown eyes causing her to melt under his intense gaze.

"Of course i do. I wanna be yours in every way possible Violet. I want to be the one you think of when you wake up, and the person you call when you need someone" There was something so intense about Jacob's words, Something that pulled her closer to him. As if they were two magnets and there were forces pulling them together, they were drawn to each-other.

Violet's breath caught in her throat as she stared at him, Her brown eyes shining with admiration as something snapped within her— She couldn't bare to fight against whatever was forcing them together for any longer.

Violet have into all her urges and pressed her lips against his, Savouring him— Savouring the moment. The second their lips connected butterflies erupted within her stomach, Her skin burning with passion as Jacob kissed her back.

Yet the kiss wasn't one of need and desire— But rather of affection and admiration...
