Chapter 8
Runaway Claire
Jacob was still at my house. I had been a couple hours since I called Quil and he still wasn't here. Jacob looked like he was doing a lot better. Like the talk we had did help him. I was kind of getting worried about Quil, but if he was so worried about Jacob he would have been here in minutes.
Jacob came back over to the coach where I was still standing and handed me a bowl filled with Mac and cheese. He sat down right by my side. We turned on the TV and flipped through the channels to see what we could watch. There was nothing on.
"Jacob why don't we run away." I didn't know where that really came from but after hearing why Jacob ran away I kind of wanted to do it myself.
He looked at me suddenly, "Are you crazy? Do you know that Quil would kill you if you ran away?"
"I know that, but I think I can do something rational in my life without worrying about what Quil is going to do to me or how mad he is going to be at me."
"You don't need to run away. You have nothing to clear your mind about, there is no way I am letting you run away for nothing." I could tell he was starting to get angry at me.
"But Jacob I do have a reason to run away. Don't you know what I am going through?" After saying that I remembered that no one knew about the one kiss I had with Quil or that I even love Quil.
"What do you mean? There is no point in running away." I decided that the only way I could convince him was if I told him what had really happened.
"I fell in love with Quil, Jacob." The look on Jacob's face was not the look I was expecting. I was expecting anger and screaming instead he was smiling.
"That's great I mean you two were meant for each other." He still had a big smile on his face.
"I kind of kissed him Jacob and he didn't seem to pleased, which I don't really get because he said he loved me too." The moment of when Quil said he loved me too was rolling through my head like a movie.
"That doesn't make since though. I mean he has loved you ever since he met you." The expression on my face went from sad to shocked.
"What do you mean by that Jacob?" He looked at me with horror in his eyes, like he had just told a secret that he swore never to tell anyone.
"He didn't tell you did he?" I looked at Jacob this time confused.
"He didn't tell me what?" This was starting to get frustrating and confusing.
"That he imprinted on you." I could tell that Jacob was afraid, probably thinking what Quil was going to say to him.
"What the heck is imprinting?" The frustration went away but it still was confusing and getting more confusing with every passing second.
"He fell in love with you when he first met you Claire."
"That would be just disgusting then because I was only two when he met me. That is just gross. Where did you come up with this Jacob?"
"I didn't come up with this Claire. It is all true. He didn't really fall in love with you when you were two. He just kind of knew in time that he would fall in love with you. It is kind of like you were made for him or he was made for you."
I froze there with out saying one word. "Are you okay Claire?" Jacob asked me.
"So that is why he has been around all my life like a protective brother. That is why he never wanted me to date even though I had permission to from my mom." You could tell from my voice that I was stunned.
"I guess you could say that is why. There was so much more behind it though. More then you may think."
"What do you mean Jacob?" I asked him when I finally could move.
"Well I mean when you were about let's see, maybe around 11, when you ran away from him because you got really mad at him. Do you remember that?"
"Just like it was yesterday." I said answering his question well I was still in shock.
"He went out to look for you and he came across a vampire that actually kills people. The thing was they were following you, and well they were on the La Push land which was not aloud. It started a whole battle not just cause they were on the land but because they wanted you." He paused there for a minute and then continued. "He ended up getting really hurt and almost died to save you. When he came to see us he was in so much pain because he knew that he couldn't do this forever. He knew that danger was always going to fallow you and one day he knew that he wouldn't be able to save you. So he asked us all to just leave him there and let him die because with out you there was no point to his life. We couldn't let him do that so we took him back to Sam's place and he slowly started to heal."
"So what you are saying is that without me he would rather die?" I asked.
"Exactly! So when you run away he is not going to be the best person. And if he can't find you then we loose another werewolf in our pack."
I got up and walked slowly to the door when I opened it there stood Quil. I ran to him and kissed him. He pulled me away instantly. "What are you think Claire I told you we can't do this." His voice was filled with anger.
I stood there and looked at him thinking about everything Jacob had told me about running away and how much Quil loved me. For some reason I ran right past him and straight for somewhere. I had convinced my self to run away even if it wasn't with Jacob.
After a few minutes I heard someone calling my name. It wasn't Quil's voice like I had hoped but it was Jacobs. I could hear him catching up to me relatively fast. I stopped in my tracks happy that someone was running after me even if it wasn't Quil.
I am sorry I just had to stop there.
I hope you liked it
