Jacob's Betrayal
NPOV
After Jasper had left, Aunt Rose had whisked me away to her and Uncle Emmett's bedroom and sat with me as I cried laying in her lap. Jacob either couldn't face me or Uncle Em had kept him away. Eventually the dark abyss of sleep consumed me. I woke a few times and barely registered that Uncle Em was in the room now and him and Rosalie were talking in hushed voices. When morning came I wanted to keep hiding wishing for night again, but I knew I would have to face things at some point and it was probably best not to let things fester. I sat up bleary eyed looking around. Aunt Rose was beside me sitting propped against the head board, head thrown back resting on the top edge of it and eyes closed. If I didn't know better I would think she fell asleep. She startled me when she spoke none the less.
"The dog has been pacing outside the door for hours now. Tell me what to do" She finally looked at me "Do I let him in or kick his ass all the way to China. I really prefer the latter option but it's your choice."
She was serious and I knew she'd kill him if I wanted, but honestly I didn't want that. I couldn't imagine life without Jacob. He was my other half, fate had made sure we would always be tied together. I thought and Aunt Rose stayed silent giving me time.
"Let him in" I finally said my voice raspy from all my crying. She looked at me with scrutiny but moved to get up. I stopped her, wanting her to see why I wanted this. I put my hand to her cheek and my memories flipped rapidly of the best moments with Jacob. I poured my love into it then finally I played the image of him telling me about imprinting, about how I was his other half
::Flashback::
"Nessie, I brought you out here because I have something important to tell you so could you stop fidgeting." Jacob looked at me with a heavy look, pinning me down.
I was six in human years which physically was about 14. I tried my hardest to sit still.
"I've told you most of the stories of my heritage but I have kept one thing to myself until I thought you could understand. I think after your little peeping tom act yesterday" I turned bright red, I hadn't realized he'd caught me, would he tell mom and dad? "it's time I tell you my last secret. Nessie, you and I are two halves of a whole. Wolves such as myself have an experience called imprinting and this is a way of fate stepping in to find our soul mate. I imprinted on you just after you were born. That is why we are so inseparable. I'm not trying to be pervy. I am whatever you need me to be at the time, brother, friend, counselor, hero, lover... I just want you to know this because you will start to have feelings for me but I also want you to know that I will only act on your wishes when you are really truly ready. Also I want to tell you that whatever happens you will always be a part of me and me a part of you. I can't promise that I'll never hurt you, I probably will at some point because I am partially human. I will try not to though and when I do I will do everything I can to make up for it." His speech was so sincere and heartfelt that I was blushing from head to toe and a couple of tears slipped out.
::End Flashback::
"Aunt Rose, this is the first time he has hurt me, that is a long time to work hard to protect someone. I'm still angry at him but he is my soul mate, I don't have a choice in that so I have to give him a chance to make it up." I pleaded for her to understand.
"I get it. I think you should both get away for awhile. We have a place in Egypt that would be perfect. Emmett and I will come with you. We'll keep our distance though, just to be there if you need us." She brushed the curls out of my face and behind my left ear before heading out to get Jacob.
"Thank you." I whispered knowing she'd hear.
