I already knew something was wrong when Jasper wasn't waiting for me at my locker. Tibby, Noah and Casey seemed to notice this too, but they knew better and kept their mouths shut. The Cullen's, especially Alice and Rosalie, kept glancing at me at lunch, though Jasper was nowhere to be seen.
When I got in my car I didn't notice the blonde figure laying in the back seat until I was half way home, I was so shocked I nearly drove off the road. When I pulled over onto a dirt road, I knew something was up. Just by his facial expression.
" I don't want to hurt you.. and I don't want to hurt myself in turn, Amber I don't think it would be a good idea for our relationship to grow." He said swiftly, as if breaking a deal with a boss, instead of breaking my heart.
" Hurt me?! Jasper please don't do this, I will die without you.." I said tears forming in my dark eyes. I looked into his eyes and the hurt increased. Instead of melting butterscotch as they usually were when he looked at me, they were cold and hard, like I was an enemy.
" Jasper, by leaving me, you will cause more hurt than if I were to be tortured. " I said trying to reason with him, though I knew it was useless.
" Amber... I don't want you." He said firmly and with that he was gone. The air was still and chilled, as if no one had been in the place he had sat, but I knew better, the ache in my heart proved it.
I cried harder and harder as I got closer to La Push, the place that I called my home. I knew that Sam would question me. Instead of going home I went and sat on the beach, under an old twisted oak tree. Why are matter's of the heart so important, when it breaks so easily? I guess in a way love is your greatest enemy. It will keep you alive, but it will most likely kill you in the end.
I wish I could stop my heart from beating, my heart from dying and throbbing. I wish I could stop my soul, as it still hungers for him. I wish I could stop my tears from betraying me, as they stream down my cheeks. I wish I could stop his face from clouding my vision.
Warm arms picked me up and I opened my eyes to see my brother. Sam. His face distorted with heart break and worry, Jake on the other hand looked livid. Enough to kill, I looked at him and two words formed silently on my lips.
Jasper Hale.
