nine

Weeks passed.

It was almost the second week of March and Lila's birthday was on the 10th. 2 Days away. She's only talked to Quil... Well only because he lives with her. Her head and heart hurt so much. She was being deprived of what she wanted most- being with Jacob.

No, when she arrived she thought it was too late to get the genes. She didn't plan on staying in La Push. She didn't plan for Jacob to imprint on her.

Lila didn't want any of this. She can't go back now. All she wanted was her love...

Jacob.


The next two days passed on fast. It was now the 10th of March. Twelve o'clock. Midnight. She told Quil she'd be back around two or three. She got in her Volvo before driving down to the beach. She parked her car in the lot before turning it off and walking too the cold water. Even though she couldn't feel the cold anymore.

That was another thing that she hated. She couldn't feel cold, she couldn't feel much pain, she was healing fast. Life was about feeling the pain, getting cold and having someone there to warm you up.

Lila was walking barefoot across the shore wearing a navy blue Nike shirt with white Nike blue shorts and Nike 3.0 free runs with her grey bikini underneath. She felt like she was going to soccer practice again. She can't play anymore. She became so fast, people will suspect something.

She was alone for about an hour until she heard footsteps on the sand.

Jacob...

She was sitting in a few feet from the shore in the water when he came to sit next to her. He was also wearing swim trucks. He didn't say anything for a few minutes.

"Happy birthday." He said softly.

Lila didn't look at him, but stared blankly into the water. "Thanks," She whispered.

"I heard you weren't going on your shifts or coming for the dinners." He softly responded.

"Heard you weren't either."

Their entire conversation was talked in quiet voices.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Ok."

"I've been calling."

"And you've been over many times with Quil and never once came into my room."

"I was scared that you were going to, you know, rip my balls off."

Lila laughed softly. "No, I wouldn't do that."

Her body was wet from the water and sand was decorating itself on her legs.

"Soccer did you well." He raised an eyebrow when he looked at her.

"We're not even together and you're hitting on me. Ha."

"Lila, we are together. We'll always be together." He scooted closer to her and held her hand. "I can't do much, beg and plead for you to forgive me."

"Jacob..."

"Lila, it's been weeks. I've been beating myself up. I haven't talked to Bella... I don't plan too. You're so much more important than that." The moon was the only light they had.

"Jacob, stop. Please. I haven't eaten in weeks, barely slept. I'm weak right now."

"Lila. Why haven't you been eating? You know you have too."

"I'm weak."

"Why are you here?"

"Alone time for my birthday."

"You've had enough alone time."

"I don't feel good." Lila said, trying to stand up. She had sand all over her butt and legs. Quickly, Lila ran to the woods and vomited. Jacob ran right to her.

"Lila, let's take you to a doctor."

"HA! I don't need a doctor!" She wobbled in the way back to the water.

"Lila, baby. I'm worried. NO! LILA!" He ran to her as her limp body laid on sandy floor. He heard no pulse or heart beat.


Jacob kept pacing in the waiting room. Quil was shaking his leg in one of the chairs, Embry was drinking water, Paul sitting with his head in his hands, Sam was holding Emily's hand staring at Jacob.

"Why aren't the doctors coming out yet?" Jacob said.

"Testing." Sam said.

"My cousin." Quil sniffled before wiping his eyes.

Jacob stopped pacing when he saw her doctor come out.

All he saw was the doctor shaking his head before Jacob feel into a chair with his head in his hands and tears in his eyes.
