Chapter 17
Emma's POV
It was time to open presents. I got a bunch of money, clothes and gift cards. Jacob saved his present for last. It was wrapped in teal-blue shiny wrapping-paper, with a small black ribbon. I opened it. Inside was a topaz necklace, in the shape of a heart. Jacob took the necklace and put it on for me. I spun around, and gave him a kiss.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"You're so very welcome." He said.
I said goodbye to everyone. Jacob was the last to leave and I was sad to see him go. I went upstairs and took a shower. I looked at my arms and the scars were barely visible. I got changed into my pajamas and went into my room. I saw the picture sitting beside my bed of my mom and I. my eyes started to get teary, and I felt a lump forming in my throat. I thought about getting my razor but I thought of the look on Jacob's face when he would see the fresh scars. I had to do it. I grabbed the razor and held it in my hand. I decided to call him.
"Hey Emma."
"Jake, can you come over here? I need you." I said, my voice cracking.
"Em, what's the matter?"
"Can you just come over?"
"I'll be over, just leave you're window open."
I just sat there holding the razor, crying, waiting.
