Ok, I'm ignoring the fact that I have only gotten two reviews so far on the last chapter –glares at readers- and I am giving you a going away present. Even though I am the one going away…
Chapter 9: Swedish Fall
Mom's POV
The officer had knocked on the door at 6:45 Monday. He had introduced himself as Chief Swan, and was very nice and polite. But in my gut I knew, he wasn't there to just be nice. Something was wrong.
My baby, my sweet, smart, athletic little baby. She was gone. Dead, so they told me. I kept hoping, praying that this was a dream, an episode of that show Mackenzie loved, Punked or something like that.
But it wasn't. Mackenzie was dead. They had found her body, covered in burns and scrapes. Yet her skin was cold.
I hadn't broke down quite yet. My husband said I was just in shock. What was there to be in shock about? Nothing had happened to her, nothing.
I kept telling myself that, but I knew it wasn't true. It would only be a matter of time before I had to stop lying to myself.
I had to keep lying to myself as long as I could, though. I wouldn't make it if I didn't.
Dad's POV
The officer, Chief Swan, had told us the news. Mackenzie, our daughter, Mackenzie, was dead. Cold, lifeless, stopped heart.
I broke down right away. Crying until I had no tears left, and then still finding more to cry.
My wife, though, she didn't show any emotion. None at all. Her face had been blank and empty since he had come.
She was in shock, I thought. It was a huge blow moving to a new place, and losing your daughter the next day. She would probably blame herself. Saying that if she hadn't made us move, Kenz would be alive, or if she hadn't let her go to her friends' house, she wouldn't be dead.
In a way, I did agree. A little. I had never completely liked the idea to the move. I hadn't thought picking up and going across the country, leaving our jobs and life, was a good idea.
And now, because of it, our daughter was dead.
Dead.
Dead.
Dead…
Gone.
Jake's POV
I put down the paper after reading the small blurb. It had described someone's death, but not Kenz's. She was safe with the Cullen's.
Why does everything bad happen to me!!!!
First I had loved Bella. It hadn't been imprinting, but it had been close. Then, when I do imprint, the girl gets bitten and now is my natural enemy! What luck I had, right?
Life sucks.
Of course, if I was only upset about that, I could only imagine what Kenz's family was going through. They thought she was dead. In a way she was. Her heart was dead, but her body was still walking.
What am I going to do? I love Kenz with all my heart, but she's a vampire. I want to rip her apart at the same time that I was to kiss her and hold her forever. How can we ever be together?
I thought I had a hard choice ahead, but I had no idea how hard it would really be. And how much life was going to suck in a few days.
Sneak Peak:
I walked up to him, "Jake."
"Kenz." He replied.
"I love you."
"I- I love you too. More than anyone in the world. But, I can't do this!"
He turned and walked away, not looking back.
Ok, that's the last one for the day. And the week. What will you do for the next week without me! OMG! You'll survive. You'll have to, right? You wanna know what comes next, of course.
So, review. Cuz I'm still angry about only getting 2 reviews so far…
Love you all!
REVIEW! I'm addicted to them!
