Chapter 15
My face was still pressed into Alice's shirt when Carlisle announced that Seth might not make it. It seemed that I couldn't stop weeping these days. Jack had ruined everything even the only friend I had. Hesitantly I slipped out of Alice's protective hug and faced Seth's, yet again, limp, cold body. I frowned and fell to my knees. Sometimes it seems like people come into your life just to leave. "I'm sorry Blake." Carlisle murmured. It was the first time I had felt any sort of compassion from him. His hand squeezed my shoulder as he walked away. Had he already given up hope or was he off to get something?
I bit my bottom lip and closed my eyes. Why now? Everything was just falling into place and it fell apart within a matter of moments. In the back I could hear Emmett and Jasper ripping Jack apart in the backyard. I could also hear the roaring of fire. It didn't matter that Jack was finally getting what he deserved. There was no one around to share the joy. Everyone who was sitting in the room could feel my anxiety and frustration. "He's still in there." Edward said in monotone. "Can he hear us?" I felt sick. Edward nodded sharply. I leaned my head by Seth's ear. I whispered tentatively "Please, I love you. No matter what happens, I always will. Just don't leave me." I slipped my hand into his. It was the same temperature as mine. The tears welled up in my eyes. Was he dead? He shouldn't feel like this.
