Glass hearts are made to be broken. That's why mine's made of diamonds.

You, I've mistaken for destiny

I always knew it would end like this. I would just be beginning to be happy and fit in when Felix turns up and ruins my life again. I hadn't seen him for eleven years and they had been happy and free years. I had my great friends like Fern, Chloe, Beth and all the others. I saw my big brother who I hadn't seen for ninety one years. I'd found a great guy who I really loved and wished I could tell him the truth. The truth was I was leaving. Felix would kill Jake if I didn't go. Felix was so cut up about me leaving. He went deep into training mode and started tearing things up, he went crazy.

I packed my bags solemnly. I was going back to the Volturi, to Italy, to capture. They had tried so hard to keep me incarcerated. It wasn't a life I wanted. I wanted to see the sky, feel the wind, hear the birds singing. I was going to be locked indoors my entire life, surrounded by human killers. I would be pressured to kill and I wouldn't. I would be forever thinking about something Jake said or remembering an arm wrestle with Emmett where I had won, my mind would take me back to a laugh I had with Fern or Chloe or one of my other friends, I'd keep seeing Edward smile, keeping his faith in me even though I don't deserve it.

I wrote a letter to Jake. He'd stop me if he saw me. I'd stop myself if I saw him. The letter said

Jake,

It isn't the easiest thing to say that I'm leaving. I told you what happened but there's one thing I didn't tell you. I really should have and I wish I had when we had more time. I wish we still had more time. I've always thought, what's point of immortality if there's no one to share it with, but I did, I found you and I'm sorry. I guess you have the right to know why I'm going. Felix told me things. He's been non-stop fight training since I left. He wants me so bad he'll kill to get me. I want you safe. I want you to have a wonderful life and meet a nice girl to imprint on and move on from me. I'm not leaving because I don't love you. So I guess, if it's my last chance to say it, I should. Jacob Black, I love you with all my heart.

Alex.

I wiped away my tears and texted Jake:

Hi, that tree at the lake. You know which one.

I went downstairs, only Carlisle was home. "You don't have to go, Alex" I turned to him. He was so kind and generous. It made the pain even more intense. "Yes, Yes I do." I went outside and slung my bags into my car. I drove to the lake. It was so beautiful. I pinned my note to the tree, the tree Jake had told me he loved me, before Felix had turned up. I ran back to my car and drove to the edge of town. He was there alright. Felix walked up and hugged me.

"I knew you wanted to come home" Home! This was my home. With the people I love and care about. With Jake. "I'm coming with you. That doesn't mean I want to or that I'm going home. I just want my friends to be safe and far away from you." He climbed in the car, he was mad, I could tell, but I didn't care. "I've spent eleven year looking for you! I love you! You act like you don't care!" Well never! That might be because I don't! I wouldn't look at him "I never have! You liked me so you took me! Did you even care how I felt? I ran away because I wanted something else. I wanted to see the world. To me the world is worth more than anything you could possibly give me! If I could walk around, go out have a life then maybe I could think about us but you keep me like a prisoner. You most of all should know that you can't catch air. You can keep it prisoner, but it will never stop trying to escape." He sighed. Maybe he was compromising, that would be good. "I do love you and I want to keep you safe I want to have you in my arms. I want to feel you lips against mine and know it's alright. I can let you go outside as long as someone's with you. It was Aro that kept you trapped, not me" I started the ignition and headed towards the airport. "If we don't leave now we'll miss our flight" I said. He nodded and we drove onwards. Away from my life and back into hell. I only hoped, my angel would get me out.
