Jacob

My head was trying to phase before my body could catch up to it. Kara hated Forks and no matter what I did, she just wasn't happy. Edward and Bella were, but she wasn't. it made me so mad that she was acting just like Bella had the last time I had this conversation.

"I love you. Please stay here for me." I begged but she didn't turn around.

Kara

I wanted heat again. Home. But I was stuck just like Bella had been when she and Charlie had fought about living in Forks or Florida with mom.

Jacob was angry and not phasing which was better than I would have expected.

He said " You should have told me about this! And to think you are nothing like your sister!"

"I gotta go." I said trying not to cry in front of him. I hated crying so easily. It was just a reflex like Jacob's phasing, but it made me feel like the huge baby I was when I couldn't hold it inside.

"No don't please. " he begged. Then it got worse.

"I talked to Charlie about it and he said I should give school another month since graduation is coming up and then I could decide whether I wanted to leave or not."

Jacob

Oh fudge. Graduation was less than a month away and she would leave me. That could be devastating for both of us but I guess Kara wasn't taking me into account when she had decided this.

"Not in a month!" I yelled feeling the bubbles build up and threaten to boil over.

"You KNEW I didn't like being here!"

"That's a lie! I wanted you to be here. I love living with you. I can make you happy."

"You knew this was going to happen."

"Oh but he didn't have anything to do with it did he? It's Edward and Bella pressuring you to leave isn't it? If you're gone, they won't have anything fragile to protect anymore and they think that I can go back to my normal life like you and I never happened. I swear Kara, that bloodsucker hates seeing me happy because he always has to steal my source of happiness right out from under my wet nose!"

I felt it get closer to the boiling point and tried to seem alright with the fact that my Lilka was leaving me, but I wasn't.

"Kara, don't go. Not before you've… even lived!" I had started to tear up a little and continued much to my best efforts with "Or before I could….."

WHAM!

The wrench I was holding was thrown into my open toolbox and was shut by the force I used. This wasn't happening now. Not when things had gotten so good between us. Only then did I realize what my father had meant when, during our many dinertime conversations about Kara, he had said that all the good things of this world were gifts and they could slip away faster then you could open your eyes and appreciate them. I wouldn't do that to her. I couldn't.

Edward was at fault with this.

" Cullen, Oh Edward's got his venom coated hooks inside you and he's hanging on. Cutting you so deep…. God damn it Kara, it makes me sick!"

I blurted out of nowhere. "He has Bella. Better you be dead for real than one of them because holy hell I will kill him!"

Kara

"I can't believe you just said that Jacob! I thought we were friends and you didn't want anything bad to happen to me. You were just lying huh? Well, a lot of guys have lied to me before Jake, but for some stupid reason, I really, honestly loved you and thought you were different."

I backed slowly away with "Edward was right. I shouldn't have come here."

Jacob

Oh hell no. now, I was just making things worse for myself. She stared at me with hard eyes and wiped away a couple tears.

"Kara come on. Please baby…" I tried to dig myself out but I just kept slipping "I'm sorry…."

But she was halfway down the block leaving me in the garage alone.
