"Hey Jacob you okay?" Asked Rosalie peering into Jacobs room.
"Fine" said Jacob wiping his eyes "but if you don't mind I'm kinda busy, trying to sleep", Rosalie was going to leave but on second thought she decided against it, taking a seat on the bed next to Jacob. Rosalie was silent, unsure what to say to Jacob who had been clearly crying, she didnt need to say anything Jacob started talking himself, needing someone to talk to, to share his pain.
"Do you know what the kicker is about this, it's not that he left, sure that sucks majorly and hurts like hell, but it's that he didnt even say goodbye, leaving in the middle of the night, nothing, not even a note. It's like I meant nothing to him, but the worst part is he just didn't leave with no explanation, no, he leaves with her, his x-girlfriend" Jacob was hiccupping trying not to cry "Bella, a big bloody secret escapade in the middle of the night, leaving me in the lurch with no closer what so ever; It sucks, a jerky thing to do. It's the worse thing anyone could have done, theres no closure you know, no hope to get over it. I dont understand, did he, like change his mind overnight and suddenly want Bella back. Maybe I came on too strong or something. It doesnt make sense it seemed like things were going good. It just doesnt make sense why he would do this when things were so great between us "
"Im sure Edward had his reasons"
"What Rosalie? What possible reasons could he have for leaving me? Maybe it was just a lie all along, and it never meant anything to him at all; maybe once the glitz and glamour wore off I was no longer interesting to him; or maybe it was just the magic of the imprint making him even like me in the first place, and he realised that leaving because it was all fake"
"I'm sure that's not true, he cared for you Jacob I know he did"
"You dont know that, you couldnt possibly understand or know how I feel, or why he left"
"He didn't just abbandon you Jacob, he abbandoned us well. So don't you dare say I don't understand, I understand plenty, you can drown in misery all you want but you gotta face facts and move on, he's gone and never coming back. Being heart broken all the time, hoping he will come back and pining will get you anywhere"
"I know"
"Do you Jacob? Then what are you doing here still? Moping around your X's house. I see you everyday, looking out the window watching, waiting, doing a search of the house every morning, hoping to find him there"
"What else am I supposed to do Rosalie, other than hope he has changed his mind and decided to come back. It's like half of me has been ripped off, I'm barely holding it together as it is; it hurts everytime I breathe; and I practically blackout if I think of him too long, god forbid say his name; There's always this pull but I cant do anything about it. So don't you tell me to get over it, I'm trying the best I can and I'm doing a hell of a lot better than others, I'm not insane, comatose or dead, so I think that's a pretty big accomplishment if you ask me, so as I said before im doing fine, just fine"
"Sure you're not dead, but you act like it. You haven't left the house in weeks, even when the Volturi came you were barely present. You left it up to Carlisle to explain the situation, selling out everything he knew of Edward just so they didn't kill you there and then. Even when they left, announcing they were chasing up Edward and Bella, you said nothing, barely moving a muscle. Wake up Jacob, time to move on, Edward isnt coming back, he doesn't want to come back, other wise he would be here by now, he's happy with Bella werever he's gone, and its time for you to accept that and move on."
"Just leave me alone Rosalie"
"No, people have been tredding lightly around you for months, and im sick of it. We can't even mention Edward because it will set you off, going into one of your silences for days, not eating or talking, barely noticing our presence. We've spoken to Sam, Jacob. He has forgiven you, and he wants to take you back into his pack. I suggest you go with him, Seth and Leah already has, when you told them to. I suggest you take your own advice and go back where you belong, with others of your own kind"
"Fine, if I'm so unbearable to live with I will leave, but dont expect me to ever come back"
"I think that would be for the best"
Jacob grabbed his bag of stuff that he had, had packed for weeks, just sitting in the corner waiting. Once leaving the house, he took one last regretful glance back at the home he had been living in, barely leaving for months, pretending, but now it was time for him to stop pretending and go into the real world.

"Did you have to be so harsh Rosalie" scolded Jasper
"What? You said talk to him, about leaving the house"
"Yeah I said discuss it, not kick him put of the house completely"
"Itll be good for him, get away from all the reminders of Edward, move on with his life"
"You better hope this works, otherwise he will become a lot worse than just not leaving the house"
"Trust me, he will be his bright old wolfy self soon emough, he just needs to clear his head, get away from Edwards presence, intwined so deeply in all of the house, and its occupants"

Jacob wandered walking down the main highway; following it aimlessly out of town, not sure what else to do or where to go. Tired and hopeless, he just gave up, plunking his bag down and sitting in the dust by the side of the highway, completely miserable Jacob was at the lowest point in his life, feeling abandoned by everyone.
"Hey you allright there" said a stranger stopping the truck.
Jacob was silent, but after a while of green eyes staring he felt compelled to speak
"Not really no"
"Why dont you tell me whats wrong then, it'll help to have a friendly ear to ease your woes" said the stranger crouching down in the dirt beside Jacob. Jacob looked over as the stranger placed a hand on his arm, the stranger was a women, mid 20's, black wavy flowing hair braided into two plaits, she had freckles all over her face, and a dark complexion similar to Jacobs, which was a trait commom to the Quileute she was Quileute, She was not a native of the La Push area, Jacob had never seen this woman in his life. Though the woman seemed genuinely concerned for Jacob, when she asked about his troubles.
"I dont really want to talk about it, I'm sick of thinking about it all the time, and I just want it to be over, gone from my mind"
The woman noticed the familar look of someone who was hurting, which she knew too well in her life "I know I'm going to regret this, picking up a strange man from the side of he road" she said "but get in the car, I can't leave you on the side of the road like this"
Jacob got up from the ground after the woman did, opening the door of the beat up old truck, "Where you wanna go bud" said the woman "anywhere in particular you wanna go, somewhere where you live, someone you love, who's expecting you"
Jacob thought about it "I don't know where I want to go, just drive, I have nothing to go back to anymore"
"Well if you want I'm going to st. Petersburg, to check out a place by the beach, I could take you there"
Jacob looked back at the place he had lived in for so long, that he loved, and was a part of him, but he knew he could never go back there. There was nothing for him anymore in forks, the Cullen's had kicked him out Rosalie telling him to never come back; Sam said he would take Jacob back, but he knew this wasnt true, if he did get taken back he would be punished; It would be sad to leave his Dad all alone in forks, but he had no choice, he had to "move on".
"Alright"agreed Jacob "let's go to St. Petersburg"
"All-righty then" said the Woman tapping the steering wheel rhythmically "I'm Lisa by the way, you should know if I'm taking you all this way"
"Jacob" said Jacob, a smile gracing his face, the first time in a while.
