Chapter 12 – Falling In or Falling Apart
I thought that this chapter was rather sad.
Have fun reading it all the same. :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Rosalie POV
I was standing at the edge of the cliff. Jacob standing right beside me. Looking at me curiously as he questioned what I would do next.
I took that little step foreword to try to escape his beautiful, dark eyes if only for a few seconds. The small leap I took off the cliff was exhilarating. I wasn't exactly sure how to feel. Would he be mad, worried, disappointed even? I had just leaped off a cliff so that I didn't have to feel his speculative eyes coursing over every inch of my body.
I saw my hair flowing flawlessly around me. The bubbles swirled up around my body. Jacob jumped in after me, going right back to the surface for air.
The waters temperature instantly growing warmer with Jacobs's presence. I could hear the rhythm of his hear beat growing faster as he sped towards me. He must be sure that this is a game. Not an escape attempt.
I had to tell him. His over-protectiveness was suffocating and was already becoming too much to take.
I kicked off the sand at the bottom of the lake and sped towards the surface. Jacob following quickly behind me. As we sped towards the shore I noticed that Jacob was beginning to slow. Honestly, all I could think about was that Emmett would have no problems keeping pace with me.
I reached the shore a good 10 minutes before Jacob which gave me enough time to think about exactly what I was going to say to him.
When Jacob reached where I was sitting he shook out his hair to rid it of water, he finally noticed the sombre look that was carved into my face.
Pain flickered across Jacobs face as I explained that we couldn't be together and why.
"I can't be second-best to that human." I spat the word knowing that he would know exactly who I meant.
The pain was suddenly replaced with anger that burned hot enough through his eyes to start a fire wherever he stared.
"Don't you dare talk about Bella like that!" He snapped. "And don't think that I haven't noticed the way that you look at that brute of a fiancée Bella has!"
"Had." I corrected in a small voice.
Surprise flickered through his eyes. "What happened?"
"Emmett was spying on her when she was talking to Edward. I say good riddance but Emmett is pretty broken up over it." Pain changed my expression but I don't think that Jacob noticed.
Jacob wrapped his arms around me. "I guess this is goodbye then?"
"I'm sorry, Jacob. But it's for the best."
He just nodded. Still not letting me go. I didn't care, it was comforting. It hurt him a lot less this way too. To know that there was still at least something there and to know that this was hurting me too.
So I hope you enjoyed. :)
