Chapter 14: Heart Break
A few hours later she returned home. "That had better been worth it." Edward scowled. "Because you're grounded until your graduation." "Fine." She stormed up to her room. I could tell that something had went wrong. I pulled myself from my bed and made my way to her room. Knock. Knock. "Nessie, can we please talk?" I asked in a low voice. "Go away. I'm still mad at you." She hissed at me. "Please Nessie, we can still work things out." "No we're unrepairable. Just go away." "Come on Nessie, I love you. Please." She still wouldn't budge. I began to walk away when I heard her say, "I love you too." Her voice barely audible. At least there is still hope. Maybe she just needed time.
The rest of the night was an unbareable silence. Without her in my arms I couldn't sleep. When the sun rose, I climbed out of bed and got ready for school. Instead of riding to school with her in the Volvo, I was stuck in the jeep with Emmett behind the wheel. Whoever gave him his license was bribe. I was so glad that the Cullens were virtually indestructible. As for me, I know a wreck would hurt like hell until I healed. We arrived at school and Nessie rushed over to Calvin and threw her arms around him. At the sight I punched Emmett's jeep, leaving a huge dent. "You better fix that mutt." He warned, but all I could do was glare at him angrily. There was nothing he could do that could cause me any more pain. The bell rang and we headed to class. First period was going to be torture. I would have to watch her as she was affectionate toward him. Why didn't I just tell her? Why was I such an idiot? "Quit beating yourself up. She still loves you. This is her way of getting even." Edward said as he came up beside me. "How can you be sure?" He just pointed to his head and disappeared into the classroom.
Outside World History, I had to watch them make out. My stomach churned and I was extremely jealous. That use to be us. I lowered my head and just walked by. What could I do? She made her decision. Now I have to be a good little werewolf and stand by her. I took my seat. Right now I would be glad to sit next to Karen again. At least her constant yammering would some kind of distraction. Once again we broke down into our groups. He scooted next to her and placed his arm around her. It took everything I had not to tear it off of him. We began discussing how we talked about how we should present our information.
Nessie dropped her pencil and when she bent down Calvin passed me a note. Looks like I won mutt. Now I own your prize possession. It infuriated me as he made her sound like some stupid trophy. I hadn't seen Nessie sit back up until I felt the paper ripped from my hand. I tried to snatch it back before she could read it. Because I knew it would hurt her. "Nice guys. I'm not a damn piece of meat!" She yelled as she stormed out the classroom. I chased after her and caught her by a set of lockers.
"Let go of me Jake." She demanded, but I didn't listen. I turned her around to face me. "Ness Bear, look at me." I said gently. Slowly she lifted her eyes to meet mine. They were already puffy. "Ness, you know that I never thought of you as a piece of meat or some trophy to be won. You know I love you. You're my heart, .my soul, my world." I told her. It sounded so cliched but it was the truth. She stared at me for a moment and then broke away from me. "Ness, please don't!" I pleaded as she ran down the hall. I had to face the music. I had messed up bad. Maybe she is right we are unrepairable. I couldn't stand to be around people. I couldn't stand not being with her. I had to be alone So I left and went to the Cullens to gather my things.
When I arrived both Esmee and Carlisle's cars were gone. That meant no one would be here to stop my leaving. I threw my clothes into my duffel bag. I walked over to my desk and from the drawer I grabbed a present I had gotten Nessie when she was youger. I had been waiting for the right moment to give it to her, but I guess that time will never come. Before leaving I wrote two notes, one for the Cullens and one for Nessie. I made sure to leave them where they could find them.
