He crumpled the paper in his hand, closing his eyes tightly and leaning to the wall until his forehead stopped him. The wall was cold, much like the flash of cold that ran down his spine. How could she do this!? His eyes snapped open, pushing himself off the wall he grabbed his sneakers, pulled them on and dashed out of his house, running full speed, like something was chasing after him.

-click, click, click- It was the same noise, over and over, as each wheel of the train took her further away from her mistake. Am I doing the right thing? Its ok...he won't find me. He'll be fine, grateful even...Her thoughts turned back on themselves. She kept reminding herself that this was right, that he wasn't ready no matter what he said. She reminded herself that this was her fault, that even if it took two of them, she was the one that would have to do everything and much as she wanted him there, she realized that he would have left her anyways, or so she told herself. She didn't know where she was going, just bought the ticket and headed out. Bella laid her head against the cold glass, watching the rain splatter against the window and drop down in mini rivers.

-earlier that day-

"Hey Embry" she spoke into her phone. "Can you do me a favor? I have a surprise for Jake, but I need some help."

"Sure, whatcha need?"

"Well to get the ball rolling I need you to deliver something for me, just a little note, he'll know what to do next." she spoke with a monotone voice. She knew embry was smart, but hopefully, he wouldnt pick up on what was going on.

"you ok? you sound off" he added hesistanly, "but yeah, I'll help."

"Oh yeah! Im fine!" Bella squeaked out. She had to cheer up, this was just another adventure she was going to go on.

"Right...Ill be over in a minute." he breathed, something was up."

Bella ran a chilled hand over her face, trying to forget this morning. Its over, its done. Embry will tell him, its just a game to him. Shaking her head, she closed her eyes, pulling her hoodie closer around her, tucking her hands deeper into the sleeves. Finally, she started to daze. -click, click click, click-

He was lagging by the time he found himself in front of her apartment. Slamming on the door, hard enough to make slight dents, he bellowed for her "Bella! Open the damn door! This isn't fucking funny!" Twisting the knob he realized the door was open. Hesitantly he stepped inside, took a deep breath filling his lungs with the scent of her. "Bella!" he shouted, moving numbly through the apartment looking for her. "Bella...please...come on honey, this isn't funny." He stopped in the bedroom, noticing the bed was made, not a normal thing. It was like she wanted him to take notice, things were different. Sitting on the bed gently he stooped over himself. Forcing himself to breathe deeply, letting out the breath slowly. His eyes were closed, gripping the edge of the bed and grinding his jaw.

"Jake?" he heard another voice calling. "Jake? Are you ok? You took off so fast..." embry stopped talking as he walked into the bedroom. "Dude are you ok?" Cocking an eyebrow up he knelt next to the bed. "Whats going on?"

"She's gone..."Jake breathed...opening his eyes slowly, trying to hold in the tears. "She just...said...left..."he dropped the note that was crumpled in his hand, had been squashed there ever since he had first read it, then reread it to make sure what he had read was true, was actually written on the paper. He lifted his head slowly, gazing at his best friend. "Did you know when she gave you the note?" He was able to hold his tone even, though, he wanted to to choke out his best friend right about now.

"What?! No! She said she had a surprise...I figured it was some sort of anniversary today or whatever." Embry started to mumbling, going over the phone call earlier in his head. "She said she had something for you..." no way could this be happening. "Did you guys have a fight?" He stood up, walking back to the wall, leaning against it and crossing his arms in front of his chest. "She seemed fine when I picked up the paper...I mean a little pale but thats nothing new."

"No..."Jake whispered. "Nothing..."

Embry walked over and picked up the note his stunned friend had dropped to the floor. His eyes scanned it quickly, picking at certain parts and piecing them together.

Jake...it's over...be happy...not good enough for you...

What the hell?! His head screamed. "Dude! This has to be a sick joke!" I thought we were over this...Bella may have been hurt before but she was better now, right? Jake put her back together, they were happy! It's almost been a year, she should be better!

Jake watched his friend pace the room. How could this be a joke? She and I dont joke like this... His thoughts started to jumble and turn.
