a.n.: Sorry it took so long. It's hard to end a story. Yes I said end. I mean it this time. Jeremy and Melissa is coming to a end, very soon. Sooner then you might think/want. But it's time. There's only going to be about seven more chapters then...NO MORE.
JPOV (Jillian's point of view)
My mouth dropped clear to the floor when Karen punched Seth. My sister wasn't the hitting type. She was the calm, sweet, fragile one. Not the violent one.
"What the heck Karen?!" Seth yelled, grabbing his nose.
She made him bleed! Didn't know she had it in her. Suddenly Karen's face paled, to the point where she looked sick. Karen looked around at everyone, then ran out of the house. On a sisterly impulse, I ran after her.
"Karen! Wait!" I called trying to catch up to her. Karen just kept running, as if she couldn't hear me.
One minute I was running behind my sister and the next I was running behind a sandy colored bear sized wolf. Seth to the rescue I guess. I stopped running and just stood there. I stood there in the middle of the woods, taking everything in.
Mom was dead. Dad couldn't let go. Karen was...losing it. David seemed to be in control but who knew. And me...I don't know. I wasn't really mad at anyone anymore. This wasn't any one's fault. We all have to die sooner or later. Mom just died sooner other than later. She had escaped death many times before, I guess she just couldn't escape it any longer.
I laid down in the green grass and looked up at the night sky. Who knew after finding my father I'd lose my mother so soon after. The sky was starless, nothing but black. I let myself get lost in the blackness and the sadness. Death was a hard thing to deal with but everyone did. At some point in our life's we have to deal with death. Weather it's our death or a death of a loved one. Death was always going to be there. No matter what. We couldn't escape death forever. There really was no such thing as forever. Death was always going to get us. And when it did...what happens next is hard to think about. After death theres...nothing. Nothing at all.
Mom was nothing now. She was something when she had live in her but now. She was just something in our minds. We had our time with her and now that time was gone. We'd never see her again. Never hear her voice...never hear her laugh again. Never see that love her and Dad shared. Dad was something we'd never see again either. He wouldn't be the same. There's no telling how he'd be now. Wouldn't be the same for sure. Nothing would ever be the same anymore, and we were all just going to have to except that.
JPOV (Jeremy's point of view)
She wasn't gone. I could feel her with me. Melissa wasn't gone. She couldn't be. If she was gone then...I was too. Melissa was who got me this far in life. With out her I would have killed myself years ago. I never got the chance to tell Mel what my life was like before her. Before Mel...life was hell. I left that life behind when Melissa Grace came to me. It was love from the start. My heart would always belong to Melissa just like it always had. It felt like someone was stomping on my heart now. I couldn't bare not to have Melissa in my life. Yes I had my children but they only made this worse. Seeing them everyday...would only make me want Melissa back more. I'd always want Melissa and no one else. Never could anyone match up to my Melissa.
KPOV (Karen's point of view)
I can't believe I punched him! How could I have done that to the man I love? He was probably so mad at me. That was the last thing I needed right now. I needed Seth to love me, not hate me. Seth was all I had left. Dad didn't love me anymore, all he thought about was himself. He didn't care that Mom dieing was hard for Jillian, David and I too. All he cared about was bring her back for himself. We were just going to make his life harder.
"Karen! Wait!" I heard Jillian but I couldn't stop running. As long as I was running, life couldn't catch up to me. I felt better when I was running from my problems. It felt good to run from the fact that my mother was dead.
Karen stop. Talk to me. Seth said to me mentally. I didn't stop or reply. I just ran faster. With Seth being in wolf form and me not having as much vampire speed as I should have, he caught up with me in no time.
Karen please. Tell me what's wrong. Seth pleaded. He didn't sound mad...if he was mad he wouldn't want to talk.... This made me stop. I fell to my knees in the grass. I had the slightest clue of were I was but didn't care. I could have been in Canada and not have cared. Right now all I cared about was...Mom. I loved her so much. I told Dad I knew how to let go but...did I really? No. I had no idea how to let go of my mother. How do you let someone you love go?
Seth went behind a tree and put on his cut off jeans which he had tied to his ankle. It was something he had picked up from Jacob. It actually worked nicely. Once his jeans were on, he slowly walked over to me.
"Can we talk now?" Seth asked caution in his voice.
I glanced up at him but then looked back to the ground. "What is there to talk about?"
"Karen, you flipped back at the house. I didn't know you had it in you to yell that much."
"You know Seth, there's a lot you don't know about me."
"Your right. I'd like to know everything about you. But we're not all mind readers. You have to tell me stuff. And in order to tell me stuff...you have to talk to me." Seth was right about the talking thing. Talking was something we seemed to lack in our relationship.
"The only reason I flipped at the house, was because of Mom. How could she just leave us like that?"
Seth sat down beside me and took my hands in his. He was so warm. Guess that's what happens when your body temperature is 108.9 degrees.
"She didn't leave anyone. Melissa is still with you. In your heart." Seth placed one of our entwined hands over my heart.
I shot him a glare. "You got that from a movie."
He smiled sheepishly. "I thought it was a good line. And it's true. You never forget the ones you love. Your head can't hold all the love you have for people so your heart does."
a.n.: Aw, isn't Seth so sweet? He just makes you want to review right? So do it! Review! Please? Pretty please with Seth on top!
