This silver dagger is for my broken heart.

Sequel to Glass hearts are made to be broken. Alex is back in Italy, she has to get away, save Jake, Protect her friends and fix her broken heart. Can she do it or is the net that is closing in too tight? Btw Felix is 19 in this.

It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain

I took a deep swig of my drink. "Are you okay? You seem a bit distant recently" I ignored him. I hadn't said a word to him for the past hour. It was annoying him, I could see it, but it was hilarious to watch. I decided to start a conversation. "Not really. I guess I'm a bit nervous about seeing Aro tomorrow. NOT! I left my mind and my heart and come to mention it most of me in Forks!" I shouted. I slammed the empty glass on the bar. "Why can't you just accept that your home is in Volterra with me and Jane and the others?" I wasn't one of them. I was my own person and didn't want to be oppressed by the Volturi's endless dos and don'ts. I stood up, glaring at him. We had done nothing but fight on the way here and tomorrow I was seeing Aro for the first time in eleven years. No wonder he was on edge. "Did it ever cross your insane little mind that I hate you?!" He didn't look surprised, angry or upset so I just walked out. This is how most of our fights had ended, any minute; he would run out and grab me. "Why don't we just go to Volterra now and see Aro tomorrow? It gives you time to unpack." He said, catching my arm. Right on queue. I thought. I nodded solemnly and got into the car.

I didn't say a word as I drove into the city, nor as I walked with heavy steps to my old room. I threw my bags on the floor and ran to the balcony doors. I pulled at them but they were locked. No lock was stopping me though. I took a step back and threw a weak fireball at the lock. It blew off and the doors banged open. I walked out onto the balcony. The sky at night was so beautiful. The sun had nearly melted away, leaving a clear sky of stars above the city. I looked across at Felix's balcony. Before I left, I used to jump over to his and go up the stairs to the roof. Always at twilight, just as the sun went down. That's where the myth of the glittering lady came from.

I climbed up on the rail of my balcony, ready to jump and sprung. I landed on the balcony, lightly and padded towards the stairs. I sat in my spot, just by the tower roof. I'd once climbed up and snapped the weathervane by accident so stayed off the turret from then. Volterra was so beautiful in the half-light. But it was my prison. I'd hoped to never come here again, ever. I missed Jake. It felt like I'd betrayed him, like I'd betrayed everyone. I had to send them some sort of message without telling them where I was. Chloe! She wouldn't even know or understand where I was. I flipped out my phone and dialled her number.

Oh my god what was I going to say! "Hello?" Chloe said. I took a deep breath. "Hey Chloe, I need you to do something for me." Chloe sighed as if she was disappointed in me. "Why weren't you at school today, before I answer any of your questions?" I groaned. I wish she wouldn't ask questions. "There was someone I needed to get away from but when I can I'm coming back. Please Clo; can you just pass a message to Jake and Ed?" She sighed again. I could hear Beth's voice in the background asking more questions. "Tell him yourself, he's just down the corridor." Uh-oh! I couldn't let her pass the phone to Jake. "NO! I mean, it's a bit dodgy at the moment. Can't you tell him?" She wasn't pleased with it but she agreed. "Tell him that I'm sorry and He means so much to me, more than he could imagine. But if Felix hurts him, I could never, ever forgive myself. Basically I love him. And tell Edward that I love him and if he dares come after me I'll skin him. And tell the others I love and miss them all." She sounded like she was struggling to take it in but eventually said yes. I hung up as she called to Jake.

I couldn't hold back the emotions anymore, great drops of water fell from my eyes and onto the sandy stone I sat on. The sunset cast a pink glow across the city and across my arms. It made them sparkle pink like diamonds. I cleared a bit of stone and tried to concentrate my fire into a pen shaped and engraved the scene into the stone for eternity. I traced the lines with my fingers. It was smoothly cut, some of my best burning.

I heard footsteps behind me. "I went to your room and you weren't there, there was only one other place you would be." Felix said, with a smirk. I would have hit him, but I didn't want to touch him. "Isn't the city beautiful?" He said, crouching down beside me. I shuffled away a bit "Not with you in it." I said, spitting poison. I got up and ran towards the stairs. He got up and followed me down. "What is up with you today? You seem so, annoyed!" He said. As I got onto the rail and jumped across, he reached the bottom of the stairs. "Stop running away! You've been running your whole life, why, for once can't you just talk to me instead of running away from your problems?!" He shouted across to me. I spun around. "Because I don't want to talk to you! You think that you are the only thing I want in life when I don't even like you! You act like you have some hold over me, well you don't!" The first life I had away from you was great, until you got Jane to torture my friends. The second life I had was bliss. I had my brother, a family that wants to protect me, some of the greatest friends in the world and Jake, the nicest, sweetest, best looking guy I've ever met and you dragged me away from him!" I ran inside and shut the doors with a bang.

I heard Felix jump onto my balcony. "Please Alex. Forget him. He was only a dog anyway." I screamed and through a lamp through the glass doors at him. Glass and wood went every where as the door shattered. "Get lost! I hate you!" I shut the curtains to avoid looking at the broken door and fell into a chair sobbing. I would get home, one way or another, for certain.
