"Good-bye, Ness..." Jake said my name in a soft, painful way. It was killing him, as it was me.
"You don't have to go! Please! Jake! Stay- stay with me-" I let the last words fall. "I love you"
unable to contain it any longer, I choked out the last words.
"There, there. Shhhhhh. Don't cry, Nessie. Everything will work out fine-" his attempts at comfort were completely wasted. He reached out to me, taking the tops of my arms, staring into my eyes, trying to make me look at him. I wasn't having it.
"No! It won't- I won't see you! And You'll get hurt- you could...DIE!" I cut him off,everything was so off. I couldn't contain the hysteria any longer. An avalanche of emotions hit me, knocked the wind right out. I looked up at his warm, brown eyes. I saw everything in them- my life, his life, our lives intertwined.
Instead of having another round, he simply scooped me up and set me on his lap. We are at our favorite place- the brook. Our brook. We were now lying on the cool grass together, both thinking, not talking.
He took me here to tell me he was leaving. Lately there has been some issues with my kind. And the heroic wolves of La Push, took it upon themselves to set things right. Except the conflicts weren't here in Forks or La Push- they were around the world. It was his duty to accompany them in destroying the villains.
He was set to leave in a mere few hours- it felt like only a few seconds to me.
Leaning down- he pressed his warm lips to my neck- it felt like heaven. He pulled me in tighter to him, giving me one last final squeeze, before he lifted me easily off of him, returning me to my feet.
"Jake-"
"Nessie, you know I have to go. You're not gonna let my pack be one short. One short could mean life or death." he stopped there feeling me go rigid.
My breath came in short bursts. I panicked, he could be the one dead. I might not have my Jacob much longer. "You have to write to me- everyday. I will do the same. Please, Jake! I need you so much- I'll die without you. I'm not going to live without you."
"Nessie!" his voice was warning, but in this situation I didn't give a damn.
"Don't fight with me Jake! You're not going to win. You are my everything and last time I checked you have to have a heart to live. If your heart stops mine will too." I declared my resolution, it wasn't hard. All of it was one hundred percent true.
He scooped me up then, into an unbreakable bind. We have been "officially" dating for several years now. But never had I felt as much love from him, then what was in this one kiss. It was sweet and tense- it made me dizzy. When he needed to catch his breath, he lead a trail of burning caressing touches down my neck and back up to my lips once more. Breaking away, I saw a glint of something sparkling, I looked away though- He never cried in front of me. His ego was to big.
Looking into my eyes for the last time, he said his parting words, "Love you, for forever and always. As long as you are striving, I will be too. Only twice as hard and fierce. I have to Ness, with privileges comes responsibility. Every tick of the second hand will be a reminder... to come home to you. With all my heart." for the longest moment he stared into my eyes.
Then he was gone.
