I give up

Jacob:

While I walked Bella home she chatted about this and that, later she grabbed my hand and we went the last part of the way in silence. When we arrived her house she said "Look Jake, it wasn´t too bad this evening, was it? We can still be friends, don´t you think?" I nodded "I hope so Belles!" I tried to smile but that doesn´t work well.

Bella watched me with this sad smile she always had when she knows my feelings are hurt because of her. "I´m sorry Jake" she whispered and leant forward to put a kiss on my left cheek but I stepped back before her lips reached my face. "I have to go now" I announced "You know, watch out for some evil red-eyes"

I shifted and raced into the forest. I knew somewhere in the woods Seth is doing the same. I´m glad to have him, at least, I really needed a friend now.

Seth:

He´s coming, I heard his mental voice and also the crackling of the dry wood under his paws. And there he was, the big wolf joined me when I´ve just finished my round "Where have you been?" I asked mentally.

Before answering Jacob phased – so did I – and sat down on the green floor. "Nowhere, I was just running around and thinking on Bella. Maybe it´s really better to give u, she is deeply in love with that leech, even I realized that and slowly I see that I can´t do anything to change it:"

I walked to him, let myself drop next to him and laid one arm around his shoulder It felt so good to be so close to him "I know you won´t think about it yet but you´ll find someone, the right one. No matter what you think momentary fate is on your side, trust me!" I said.

He raised an eyebrow "You still belief in fate? If you´re right, I would have imprinted on Bella and I would be the one she´ll marry and not him. So don´t tell me something about fortune."

He was truly angry now "I´ve said I give u, not that I plan to fall in love with someone else. I will always love her!"

Great, I thought he finally recognized that life will go on, even without Bella. How can someone be so pigheaded? Can´t you see how much you hurt me with this Jacob Black?

I sighed, I knew he was in pain and I had to comfort him. I closed my arms around him, his head rested on my shoulder and while I slowly stroke over his hair I noticed his silent cry and the hot tears on my skin.

I wanted to take away his pain, but there was nothing I could do to ease him only being with him and hiding my own feelings.
