Jacob smiled. He didn't know why Charlie brought this picture to him, but it did make him feel a little better. Today was the day his mother had died. He really didn't remember her, but he knew she was gentle. The picture in his hands showed it the way she was looking at him and Bella. They were both covered in mud and his mother was trying to clean them. Jacob listened to the quiet sobs of his father and the absent heartbeat of his sister. Rachel decided she need some space and left for Seattle. She couldn't handle was today meant. And since Rachel was gone, that meant he had an upset Paul and an upset Paul meant an irritated pack. Paul would do his best to take his anger out on others, but Jacob wouldn't let him. He made Paul do patrol until he was too tired to even stand. Jacob looked back down at the picture. Bell's brown eyes and mahogany pigtails. He missed her so much. He still didn't know where she went and why, but she was still human. Whenever Charlie did hear from her, he always mad sure to tell him that she was human. Sometimes, when Jacob really wanted to, he would tap into his anger and allow himself one day of self -pity and doubt. Why did Bella leave? One day he literally woke up, went to see renesmee and found out she was gone. The Cullen's had searched for her but no one found anything.

They knew she had visited Charlie and the very next day took a plane somewhere. Not even Charlie would tell them, and Edward couldn't pick it from his mind. And then, he remembered the day Edward had gotten served the divorce papers. Jacob never felt so much relief and jealousy at the same time. Relief because she was no longer tied to the Cullen's and jealousy because he couldn't escape his imprint at least at that time anyway. Jacob shook his head and went inside the house. He passed his father who didn't want any comfort. Today was the only dad he cried. Charlie was beside him, quiet as always. He never made his dad feel guilty or shamed, Jacob went into his bedroom and opened the draw to put the picture in. However, when he opened it there was letter, scribbled in Bella handwriting. How did it get here? Had it always been here?

He took a breathe and opened it. It read:

Dear Jacob,

By the time you read this ill be gone. I had to leave. Seeing renesmee brought a horrible reality check for me. And finding out she was your imprint only made it worse .The day I woke up, the first person I thought of was you. I thought of the children we could have had. The beautiful smile that you give them. I've always loved your smile. Jacob I don't know if there is a way to break yourself from the imprint but knowing you-you will find a way. Under this envelope, there is 10,000 dollars and a ticket to palm beach Florida. I want you to take it jake and leave. Get away for a while. You didn't think I would leave and then not give you the chance to right? I'm not that selfish. Listen jake. One day, I will return. I truly will. I'm divorcing Edward and I'm giving up Renesmee. In three years, she will look sixteen. Can you imagine how ill look and how we will have to lie? Can you see it, me going to her parent-teacher conferences as her older sister and her calling me Bella? And then you would be stuck with her. waiting until she was ready and you have to do what she wanted, be what she wanted. It's not right, you deserve to do whatever you want to do. you have sacrificed too much and soo much. Besides Rosalie is a better mother for her than i ever would be. She belongs n the supernatural world, i don't . There was only so much i can do for her.I love you jake and more than a friend. I was wrong about so many things and im sorry, so so sorry. I don't know when or how but I will see you soon. You are strong and im proud of whatever you accomplish

Love bella swan.
