Jacob(POV)
I never seen Yasmin so down before. She said she wanted to spend the rest of the vacation at her dads so I let her be. With the drama in Italy behind us and her family more protective. She's thinking of moving back. Her excuse is to be closer to the action. But she really just wants me to keep a far distance. I call her, text her, even tried the old fashion e-mail but nothing. I even tried to summon her with Bella but nothing.
"If she's not back before school I'm going to San Francisco." I say getting angry.
"Jacob don't be so rash." Sam says to me.
"I can be for her. She's blaming the whole thing on herself." Sigh.
"I can see why but you just need to give her some time." Sam says calmly.
"I'm just worried."
"We all are." Quil says gripping my shoulder.
"Son just let her be for now. She loves you. She'll come back." My dad says to me.
I sigh and step outside. I can't shake the feeling that she's in trouble. It's been a week and a half since the trip and she left the next day. I breathe in the crisp snowy air and catch a small hint of her scent. Honeysuckles... I turn around and she's standing there with puffy eyes and a quivering lip.
"Jacob walk with me for a second?" She says quietly.
"Of course." I smile at her.
I go to grab her hand but she pulls away. And walks into the woods. I follow and keep up close to her to keep her warm.
"I'm sorry I missed your calls and stuff. Is Alue okay?" she asks.
"Yeah. She's with Leona today. Yasmin what's going on.?" I ask her.
"Nothing much. Just the normal." she shrugs.
I stop her dead in our tracks and look into her eyes but she looks away.
"Yasmin look at me." I tell her softly.
She scrunches her face and closes her eyes.
"Please." I beg.
She sighs and looks at me with those fiery Green eyes that make my heart melt. But the brightness in them are gone.
"Yasmin what's going on?" I ask her.
"Jake I'm so sorry." She says fighting back tears.
"For what no answering my calls? I'm not mad." tell her.
"No. That's not it." She says holding her eyes shut.
"Then what Yas! God I'm been worried sick for the past week worrying if your okay or not! Just please tell me what's going on!" I yell getting frustrated she's not telling me.
"I wanna break up with you!" She yells.
The words hit me like brick and my head spins. She finally losses it and breaks down crying. I hold her close and try to calm her down but she orbs away. She leans against a tree and calms her tears some what.
"Yasmin you don't mean that." I say walking ovr to her slowly.
"Yes. I do." she says wiping away tears.
"Yasmin please...If it's what that old hag said the she's wrong. Nothing is going to happen to us." I say softly to her.
"My Cousin Rebecca was killed yesterday." she breathes out.
I stop and look at her for the first time. She's dressed in a black floor leghnt skirt and a velvet black coat. I'm surprised I didn't notice it earlier.
"Yasmin. I'm so sorry." I say comeing closer to her.
I look into her eyes and she breaks down again and this time when I hold her she stays.
"She was only ten! She was so young! They feel no mercy for us! All they want is bloodshed! I can't see you or anyone else die because of us!" She screams into my shirt.
I hold her tighter and try to help her calm down.
"Yasmin..." I say strking her hair.
"She was only ten Jake. Ten!"
I feel her pain in my own heart as she cries. After ten minutes she stops and looks at me.
"Please don't make me hurt anymore. Just for a little while. I'm coming back soon." Sh says wiping away tears.
"Your leaving too." I gasp.
She nods and wipes her tears.
"Take good care of Alue and make sure she gets sleep and no cookies after dinner unless she finishes it." She says trying to lighten the mood but failing.
"Yasmin don't leave me too." I whisper to her.
"Jake it's just for a bit."
"How long?"
"I'll be back next year."
"See that's way too long. besides who's going to help me rat on Paul?" I say trying t get her to stay.
"Seth might-"
"And Seth and Artie? What about them?"
"She's probably doing the same now." She says to me.
"Yasmin no please don't do this."
"Jake I'm coming back."
"How are you sure! Don't you think that I'm not worried about you getting yourself killed! Well news flash I am!" I yell at her my anger getting the best of me.
"Jacob please don't make me leave like this." She beggs me.
"You expect me to wait for you?! Every agonizing hour minute second wondering if your dead or not?! NO Yasmin that's not how it goes!"
"Jacob Please this isn't easy for any of us. So many people we know are either in the hospital or dead because of this whole thing. PLEASE... I have to go. The funeral in an hour and Becky would kill me if I looked bad at her funeral. I'm sorry. I do love you more than anything that's why I'm doing this. You don't have to wait for me. Or forget me or worry. Just please don't stay angry with me." She says cupping my face.
I can't even look at her. How does she expect me to not be angry or not worry. She cups my face and kisses me. But I can't return it.
"I love You more than anything. I'm sorry Jacob. Good-bye..." she whispers to me.
I look into her eyes as she orbs away and I see the agony in them. Once the bubbles are gone I charge at a tree and snap it in two. The love of my life is gone again. God sure does hate the mythical people in this world. I yell and phase and go for a long run...
