A few weeks passed and with the help the healing sessions with Nathan, I was able to walk. I was still using a brace on my arm and leg but, I could do things. My anger against Jacob seemed to die. I missed him and he's apologized many times, in many possible ways.
I was on my way to Jacob's house now. I decided to forgive him. It has been a few months. I've gotten over it. I refused to let Bella get in between us. Leah had told me that Bella was the one who jumped on Jacob. I knew I didn't look amazing. Paul had a small gym in his basement, I've been working out there every day and honestly, I'm probably over doing it. I just wanted to get back to normal. Well, normal for me.
I got out of my car, limping to the door before knocking. Jacob's dad seemed to be surprised to see me.
"Hey, Mr. Black, is Jacob here?"
He nodded and called for Jacob to come to the door. Jacob was even more surprised to see me.
"Marls, what are you doing here?"
I sighed while running my fingers through my hair. "I know I've been an idiot. It's not your fault that my cousin thinks she can have every guy she lays eyes on…" shaking my head, I stopped myself from beginning to ramble. "I guess what I'm trying to say is I forgive you or whatever."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I guess I should apologize for being an-"
I was quickly cut off as he crashed his lips onto mine pulling me into a heated kiss. I realized how much I really missed his touch. It had been far too long.
For the next few days, I stayed with Jacob. Charlie thought I was at the Clearwater's, but what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. If I were to be completely honest, the thing we did the most while I was over there was have sex. I know it was probably too soon for it, I didn't care. Everything was finally working out. I should have known it wouldn't last.
"Superman could totally kick Batman's ass."
I rolled my eyes. "No, he couldn't. Batman knowns everyone's weakness. Therefore, he has Kryptonite just in case Superman goes crazy. Batman can kick anybody's ass easily."
Jacob laughed. "So, what does he do, carry it around twenty-four seven?"
"Probably. He's pretty smart and totally badass."
"Jake, there's a letter for you."
Jacob and I were just relaxing on the couch watching some werewolf movie without really paying any attention to it. Since we were arguing over superheroes. We had take-out we were snacking on. I was curled into his chest with my feet propped up on the table, still wearing my sweats and tank top. My hair was pulled up into a messy bun.
I sat up as I watched Jacob open the envelope. His expression was quick to change. It went from relaxed, shocked, and lastly anger. Before I could even blink he was running out of the door.
Running after him, I screamed for him to stop, that Bella didn't matter. "Jacob, stop! Please, don't do this!"
Pain soon over whelmed me. I couldn't keep up with him like I could before. I still forget that my leg is still very injured. Tears started to fill my eyes and I fell onto my knees. He just left. Would he ever come back? I understood that thinking of Bella being turned is upsetting, but there's obviously nothing we could do to stop her.
The sun began to set and I heard footsteps. My hopes of it being Jacob were crushed down when I saw Paul, who looked down at me with some unreadable emotion. He just picked me up and carried me back to Jacob's house.
"I'm sorry, we couldn't find him anywhere."
So he really did just leave me.
A month has passed without hearing from Jacob. All of the pack was desperately trying to find him. My health was getting worse and the days went on. They say it's because of the imprint. That is more reason to hate this stupid bond. Why should I be in pain over something he did? If it wasn't for this shit I wouldn't so upset about it. I laid on the floor of the bathroom groaning. I've been up since one am throwing up. I couldn't get the strength to get out of here, so I ended up using a couple of towels as a pillow.
"Marls, are you okay?"
I looked up from the floor to see Charlie. "I think so, it's probably just a stomach virus."
He nodded. "C'mon kiddo, let's get you in your bed." Charlie carried me to my bed, tucked me in and sat the kitchen trash can beside my bed. His hand laid on my forehead. "You feel a little warm. Take some of this Pepto-Bismol and if you still feel like this in the morning, tell me and we will take you to the doctor."
"Okay, thanks a lot."
Sadly, I didn't feel any better. It got worse, Paul ended up dragging me to the doctors while Charlie was working. I expected them to tell me it was just some stupid virus. But, as usual, they made me give them a urine sample.
"You didn't have to come back here." I muttered as we sat in the doctor's office.
"I wasn't going to let you come back here alone, Marls."
Ever since Jacob left, the entire pack has been protective, more than usual. It was driving me crazy but, for some reason, I found comfort in it. He may have left, but that doesn't mean I'm alone. With the pack around, I'll never be alone and that's something I've never felt before.
As the door opened, Paul was quick to grab my hand. This caused me to worry.
"Ms. Figueroa, it seems you do not have a stomach virus. Although, it seems you are pregnant."
