Jacob's POV
I opened the front door, more excited than I had ever been. Then it hit me. It wasn't Nessie. I could smell a human. I opened the door slowly realising it was Abigail, Nessie's best friend. She must have been with Nessie, which explains her smelling strongly of her. I sighed in despair. Abigail was the last person I wanted to talk to now. She was smaller than Nessie with gold hair and green eyes, though she still reminded me of her. The sweet smell of Nessie was enough to make me go crazy.
I looked down at her and blinked blankly. Did Nessie send Abigail to speak for her now? Why couldn't Nessie just come and see me.
"Abigail," I nodded.
"Jacob look, Nessie doesn't know I'm here. I just want to let you know that she's been really torn up this week and she really misses you. She's just confused and needs some time to think. Just be patient with her. She'll come around sometime."
So she didn't send Abigail here. She was torn up and it was my entire fault. I had the urge to go see her and wrap my arms around her. But I can't. She needs time to think. This was very frustrating. If I never said anything to her, we'd be probably walking down the beach laughing and talking. Remembering her sweet carefree laugh, the way her chocolate eyes sparkled, the way her pale skin glinted in the sun, how she would bite her bottom lip when she got embarrassed and her cheeks would turn a pale blossom pink made my heart ache and how I wanted it all back.
I forgot Abigail was still here and she cleared her throat waiting for an answer.
"I'm not going anywhere. Just tell her to come see me soon. Tell her I miss her and that I-" I cut off mid sentence, unable to finish it. What if she didn't love me too? I knew Abigail knew what I was about to say. She was good at that stuff.
"I'll tell her," she whispered. She smiled half heartedly and turned around and left. I watched her start up her car and drive away. I watched her until her car become a tiny figure on the long road.
