Chapter 13 Bad Dream

Chapter 13 Bad Dream

Leah’s POV at 18 years old

The little tiff I had with Jacob left me physically drained so I decided to take a nap. I went to grab a blanket, lie on the floor, and let the sleep overtake my eyes.

I dreamt that Jacob ate the never wake up berries. He then tried to go swimming but ended up drowning in the water. The last part of the dream was that he was found on the shore with a crab coming out of his mouth like Charlie. I had also dreamt about the tiki god covered in blood.

That was the part that scared me to death. I woke up hysterical.

“Ahh!” I screamed out loud.

At that exact moment, Jacob was in the doorway. He sat down beside me but I couldn’t see him because my eyes were full of unshed tears.

“What is it?” Jacob asked with a concerning tone.

“Jacob!  I dreamt that you ate the never wake up berries and…” I started to say.

“No, no, I’m fine; you just had a bad dream.” Jacob tried to console me by rubbing my arms and stroking my hair.

“Oh don’t ever leave me. “ I said to him.

I gave him a brief embrace and then looked him in the eyes.

“Promise you won’t, promise you’ll always be with me.” I said.

Jacob looked me dead in the eyes and said, “I promise.”

I lost all thought when I looked into his eyes. The next thing I knew I had started to kiss him. I could tell that Jacob was unsure of what to do but he decided to kiss me in return. He had me sprawled on the floor with him on top of me. He threw his leg over me and started to roll on top of me when the kissing between us got more intense.

I was getting scared because I didn’t know what we were doing so I figured it would be best if I stopped things before something happened.

I grunted and pushed him off me. “Don’t!”

Jacob ended up sitting on the floor while giving me a confused yet hurt look.

Later that night while Jacob was so called “sleeping”, I felt a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it away. What woke me up was a quick tug of my hair and a rustling sound in the hut.

I looked over my shoulder to see Jacob sniffing my hair.

I wasn’t amused by him doing that.

“What are you doing Jacob?” “Go away!”

I grabbed my blanket, pulled it up to my chest and turned to my side.  I laid there for a few minutes with my eyes open trying to figure out why Jacob was acting the way he was. Soon sleep overcame me.

The next morning I woke up just as Jacob had grabbed his spear and a piece of fruit.

“Where are you going? Wait, what’s the matter?” I asked him

The only response I got from Jacob was a glare as he was leaving the house and heading towards the beach.

I decided to follow him to see where he was going.

Jacob was sitting out at the end of the un-submerged portion of the reef with his back towards me. He was moving his left hand back and forth. I couldn’t see what he was holding. He was rolling his shoulders.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

I startled Jacob and he was making sure that I wasn’t too close to him.

“What do you want?!” Jacob asked.

“Why won’t you talk to me?” I questioned.

Apparently Jacob wasn’t happy that I answered him with a question so he yelled at me.

“Just leave me alone!”

I turned away with a sad expression on my face and left him alone.
