This Jared's point of view from Chapter 16: Fear, I wasn't going to write this but GabyCaldemeraz really wanted it and I aim to please so here you go!

"Kim!" I said excitedly, hugging her. She had been standing close to her car talking with Collin. I had just come back from dropping off something at Billy Black's house for Sam and my gorgeous imprint just happened to be standing in Emily's front yard. I wasn't even paying attention to what they were talking about, just her. She was so perfect, I still couldn't believe she was my girlfriend. I leaned down to kiss her but instead she turned her head so that my lips landed on her cheek. The pain shot through me.

Ouch. Rejection.

I pulled back, baffled by her behavior. She was frozen in my arms, not cuddled up to me like she usually was. What was the matter? She squirmed in of my arms and I let her go, unsure of what else to do. I quickly glanced over at Collin before looking back at her. He had the same confused expression on his face.

"I have to go." She said walking away from me. Each step she took hurt me more than the one before. What did I do? I wanted to make it better. I would apologize and beg for forgiveness, I would do whatever she wanted but she just had to tell me what I had done.

"What's the matter?" I asked, taking a step towards her. I wanted to comfort her. She rushed backwards until she was pressed against her car. "NOTHINGS WRONG!" She screamed. I was frozen in shock, I had never heard her yell at someone, we had never even gotten in an argument. She looked so scared, she didn't look like my Kim.

"I just have to go." She said in a much more controlled and quiet voice. She was leaving. Was she going to come back? Of course she would, she's just going to her house.

"Kim..." I said softly, taking a step towards her and reaching my hand out to touch her arm. I needed her with me, I needed to hold her in my arms and make my pain go away.

"Don't touch me!" She screeched, panicked. "Just don't touch me." I would always do what she wanted no matter how much it hurt me. I pleaded with my eyes for her to not leave and just tell me what was wrong but she just got in her car and pulled out without another look in my direction. I started shaking, violently, I couldn't help it. Someone started pushing me to the woods but I just stayed focused on her retreating car. I don't even remember when I phased. I just sat on the forrest floor, with my ripped clothes, howling for a little while before Sam came to talk to me.

Emily said she was acting weird inside the house and that she thinks something happened. You didn't cause it, Jared. Try calling her. Sam's voice was calm yet not ordering. I could tell he understood the pain I was in. The others have tried calling but she didn't pick up. Don't panic yet Jared, she just needs time to cool down. Those were his last words before he phased out. He left a pair of shorts on the ground for me and headed back towards his house.

I phased back, pulling on the shorts and picking up my phone that was on the ground, it had fallen out when I phased the first time. I was about to call her, when I noticed I had a text message. Kim.

I'm sorry I freaked.

My mom texted me and

upset me about something.

Shouldn't have taken it out on you.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

I took a deep breath and instantly felt a little better. She was okay. She wasn't mad at me. She was going to talk to me tomorrow. This was good. My chest didn't hurt as much, though the rejection from earlier was still fresh in my mind. I couldn't wait to talk to her, I had to talk to her now or I was going to die. No, I am not dramatic.

I dialed her memorized number and held my breath. She picked up after a couple rings. "Hello." She said softly. I was so relieved to hear her voice and know she was safe.

"Kim? I am so sorry, I am so, so sorry, I-" She interrupted me. "Shut up Jared. I'm sorry for taking out my anger on you. Forget it." She snapped. I instantly felt like a kicked puppy. She had never raised her voice or snapped at me before. I didn't even think she was capable of it. I held back a wolfie whine and asked the question I wanted her to say yes to but had the feeling she wouldn't.

"Do you want me to come over?" I was hopeful. There was a possibility she would say yes and then we could be happy and I could hold her and she could tell me what was wrong. "No." My hopes and dreams are officially crushed. I nodded my head as if she could really see. "I'm just going to go to sleep." She added, more for my benefit then hers. I sighed, there was nothing more I could do.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked. We had school. We had chemistry and history and lunch. I would see her then. "Maybe." She responded before hanging up. She didn't even say goodbye, she didn't even let me say goodbye. What was wrong? That was all I wanted to know. My number one goal was making her happy and I could tell she wasn't. I was a failure. I was failing as an imprint and I didn't know how to fix it. I didn't know what to do.

I need help.
