Alright guys, two updates in like a week! This is insane :) Enjoy the chapter!
Shannoonnnnoononononnononon: I just did :)
Dreamcatcher94: Maybe that will happen in the next chapter? ;) Who knows . . .
LuvinTwilight143: She will. She just needs to get over the depression stage :) Hahaha but Brady and Collin honestly crack me up. I didn't even realize how desperate they sounded until I went back and read it yesterday.
madittude99:Thank you! Happy New Year to you too :) I apologize for the short chapters =/ They will get longer eventually. I had to split this one in half because it would have been like six or seven pages! Hahaha I am glad you love the story! She will get over it . . . maybe not as fast as she should though. A bonfire sounds like a cute potential date. I'll have to think about that! But yes, Brady imprinted on Megan.
marnie wolffe: I agree! Poor Collin :( Collin will get what he deserves eventually, but for now he is just making sure she is okay. I don't think it will be too late when she realizes per say, but I think there will be some arguing when Collin finally says enough is enough. I'm glad it's getting interesting! I'm trying to slowly build up tension.
ThatOneDiabeticGirl: HAHAH Oh. My. God. You seriously make my life. Shannon and Brady DO need to get a clue. But Brady is trying . . . sort of. Brady is the typical player. It makes him interesting :) I am glad you loved the chapter! I will forgive you for the short chapter Hahaha Happy New Year to you too! I read it but it wouldn't let me review. FF was flipping out that day. I liked it! I personally find that I can't write in 3rd person and I greatly praise those who can. After I wrote my Seth/OC (ME) story, I really can't look at anyone else's the same way. I honestly get jealous Hahaha! Because in my mind, he is officially mine now.
Kea525:I obviously wrote more if I am updating Kelly :)
Imprinting Magic: I'm glad you are enjoying it!
With a little haggling on Collins part, Seth finally gave me Jacob's email address. I was so excited that I almost skipped last period just to go home and type up what I wanted to say. But as I sat down and opened up a blank email, I couldn't think of what I wanted to say. How did I express how much I missed him; how much I wanted him to move back? How upset I was that he left me for some girl no one else knew existed. I typed in his email, and just typed what I felt.
Jake,
I've been trying to get your email for a couple of days now, because I really want, no need, to talk to you. I miss you so much and I don't understand why you left. I have so many questions and I wish you were here so I could ask them in person.
How could you leave me for another girl? I thought we had a future together. Then you just took off with some other girl and went so far away that I would never be able to see you again. And this other girl. Who is she? Is she better than me, prettier than me? She must be, because why else would you just take off without me? I mean, we had a future together. You have to have known that we were going to be perfect.
I just miss you and I need you back, I don't care about this other girl. Just leave her. Come back Jake, we're meant to be together. We both know it. Move back and we can forget this ever happened. Forget this other girl.
Jacob, I love you.
Yours forever,
Shannon
I must have read it over three times before I clicked send. I wondered why his email address was wolfman, but then remembered it was a movie. He always used to crack up when we all watched it together. I never understood that at all.
When my knees starting shaking, I got up from my desk. And then I waited for a reply. And waited. And waited some more. I finished some trig homework that wasn't due for another two days, I made myself lunch for school the next day, I cleaned the bathroom, and I even organized my closet. I had to keep myself busy or I would be constantly refreshing the page email page.
When I sat down about two hours later, my heart stopped. In bold letters were the words "1 unread message." I thought I was going to pass out. He answered that fast?
And then I felt my heart shatter into tiny little pieces.
"Error 0x800ccc0d."
What are the odds that Jake would type that as his subject? When I clicked the message, the tiny little pieces of my heart felt like they were being ground into dust.
The server could not be found. (Account: wolfman07, POPserver: 'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)
Maybe I mistyped the address? Maybe Collin wrote it down wrong when Seth told him?
No. Collin would have made sure it was exact. And I already checked; the address was what Seth gave Collin exactly.
Maybe the server didn't put it through?
So I sent a few more emails.
Jake, I keep got a reply from the server, but your address is correct. Are you sending that?
The server could not be found. (Account: wolfman07, POPserver: 'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)
Come on Jake, it's really not funny. Can you please just answer me?
The server could not be found. (Account: wolfman07, POPserver: 'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)
Really Jake we need to talk. I'm sorry if I said anything in the past week or two to upset you.
The server could not be found. (Account: wolfman07, POPserver: 'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)
Jacob! This is not even a little funny anymore. You obviously don't realize how hurt I am.
The server could not be found. (Account: wolfman07, POPserver: 'mail', Error Number: 0x800ccc0d)
He really wasn't going to answer me?
I made a plan yesterday. I would get Jake's email, message him for a week, and get him to come back. Obviously this was not going to work if my emails weren't going through.
I didn't know what to do so I called the only other person that had been on my mind recently.
Tapping my nails on the desk, I waited for the familiar click.
"Hello?"
"Hey Collin."
"Shannon?" He sounded confused. "What's up? Do you need Megan?"
"No I meant to call you. But, um, well . . ." How did I explain? "I sort of sent Jake a few emails, but they aren't going through."
"And how many is a few?" He asked slowly.
"About five?" I didn't know what to make of the silence on the other line. "Collin, what am I going to do? I can't email Jake, and I don't have his number. How is my plan supposed to work?" I could feel the tears start to well up in my eyes.
"What plan?"
"THE plan Collin! The plan to get Jacob back!" I yelled, the tears coming freely now.
"Shannon, calm down." I couldn't help the sob that escaped. "Are you crying?"
I tried to wipe the tears away and clear my throat.
"No."
"Shit." I heard him whisper on the other end. "Shannon, it will be okay. I'll ask Seth if the email was right. I'll get Jake's number. I'll fix this, I promise. Okay?"
"But what if you can't Collin?" I couldn't stop crying. It was so stupid but I just couldn't grasp the fact that I might never speak to Jake again. Ever.
"I will, I promise. It might take a while though. Listen, you shouldn't be home alone tonight. And I know Megan is locked in her room blasting music and trying to avoid Brady. Can I come get you? To get you away from the house and the computer. We can just hang out, okay? I don't want you to stay home and cry all night." His voice was almost pleading.
I imagined the look on his face and it made me cry harder. Collin always knew what to say to make me feel better.
"Alright." I almost heard his sigh of relief on the other end of the line. "Is it okay if we don't go out anywhere though? I don't want to start crying in public."
"I didn't plan on it. I'll be over in five minutes."
"Okay. See you soon." I barely got the words out before the call ended and I threw my phone.
I heard it hit something, but didn't bother to check what it was. Instead, I went into the bathroom and made myself look somewhat presentable. Although I don't know why I bothered. It was just Collin after all.
I hope you all enjoyed it! I can't wait for next chapter. Seriously, it's adorable. But review por favor, they make my day so much better! (For those of you non-Spanish speakers, that means please :))
