A/N: Here is the next Chapter. It's kind of short, more like fluff for the next coming chapters. The next chapter will be a few days later and in Leah's POV. Enjoy.
Faceless Moon Chapter 4
Jacob POV
I quickly turned around and ran home, phasing back to human form in the process. Whatever Paul and Leah have right now is going to cease. I want Leah to be happy but how could she be happy with that idiot Paul? Paul was supposed to be my friend and he betrays me like this. Then has the nerve to join my pack to get closer to her. Oh, when I see him, he's going to get it. Leah will take me back. I don't care how long it takes to get her back, she will be mine. My wolf won't let her mate with anyone else. It's like my heart and my wolf has claimed Leah even after the imprint with Nessie. It just took me this long to recognize that was the issue.
I arrived at the house at 2am, deciding right then and there that I have to go back. As much as I will miss Nessie and don't want to hurt her, I'm miserable here. I rather see her happy with Nahuel and me gone then me being here taking my misery out on her and her family. Looking around, I notice Nessie still hasn't came back yet and probably won't be back until about 3 or 3:30am. That's gives me enough time to pack and get everything ready to leave before she gets here.
I quickly run to the bathroom and take a 5 minutes shower, washing off the scent of the outdoors from my pores. I then grabbed my cell phone and call my employee and shop manager, Mason, knowing he would not like me calling him this early. As the phone rings I find a suit case in my closet and start to stuff it with my clothes. After grabbing my clothes I run and grab my shaving kit, toothbrush, and shampoo from the bathroom.
"Hello?" Mason said with a groggy, sleepless voice.
"Hey man, I need you to wake up, I have some things to talk to you about. It's 2:15 right now. I'll be there by 3:30."
"Wait…wha? Jake, what the hell, man? Do you know what time it is? Can't this wait 'til we get to the shop?" His questions were irritating.
"NO, it can't wait. I have to talk to you tonight. Now, get your ass up! Drink some coffee or something. And you might want to wake up your wife also, since she's a lawyer."
"Ok, Ok. I'm up. See you then." He hangs up and I'm done packing.
I get dressed and head to my desktop. I transfer all of my important documents to my flash drive. I then go to my safe and find the new deed to the house with Nessie's name on it and grab a few thousand dollars for the trip. I then grab the papers to my auto shop I had Edward draw up for me about a week ago that has Mason and I as partners and co-owners. Mason's bugged me about buying the shop for years. I've been thinking about it a lot and, with the new turn of events, I decided to make him my partner and co-owner. I stuff the papers in a folder and put both, money and the folder, in a backpack and head towards the door. Before leaving, I staple a note to the front of the deed telling Nessie everything.
Dear Ness,
First off, I want to say I love you and I'm sorry for doing this to you, but you and I both know things haven't been the same between us for a long time. I know we have been together for 8 years now and you are suppose to be my imprint, but I feel like something has change. I know you can feel it just as much as I can. Seeing you with Nahuel at first killed me, but now it just a numb feeling. I don't feel the same pull from the imprint as I did before. I need to leave Nessie. I'm leaving you the house and one of the cars. You will find the name on the deed isn't mine…it's yours. There is money in the safe so you should be good for some years to come. I really hope you can forgive me and as much as it pains me to say I wish you and Nahuel the best of luck. Don't try and find me. I need to do this for myself. I hope you understand. I love you.
Love,
Jacob
I place the deed on the bed with the note on top then head to the kitchen and grab a bag of chips before heading out the door. I get in the car throwing my bags in the back seat. Next stop is Mason's house.
I arrived at Mason's house at 3:30 on the dot nervous about how he would take me leaving him the shop. I trust Mason. Apart from the Cullen Clan, he was the only one I could trust up here by myself without my pack. Mason was Eskimo Indian, but is wife had roots the stretched all the way to France. He grew up in almost the same environment as I did so when I found out he knew about the legends, to say I was relieved would be an understatement. Nonetheless, I still couldn't tell him it was true about me being a wolf. It would still go against my whole being. He is my friend, but I'm still an alpha of my pack and still have to protect my people.
I grabbed the papers he needed to sign out of my bag and got out of the car. With a deep breath I walked up to the front door and rung the door bell. Anticipation and nervousness builds as I wait for someone to answer. A minute later, Mason opens the door and invites me in. I walk in to the smell of coffee and fresh baked muffins his wife must have just made. Amber, Mason's wife/lawyer, was up. Mason showed me to the sitting area just as Amber was walking out of the kitchen with a bowl full of blueberry muffins.
"Mason, Hey Amber. Thanks for seeing me so early. This couldn't wait." Their expressions screamed confusion.
"Ok you're here, so what's so important that it couldn't wait 'til the sun came up?" I smirked a little at Mason's rudeness, knowing it was because he was not a morning person.
"Mason, don't be rude. He's our guess." Amber scolded.
"No, it's ok. I would be the same way if I had to wake up so early. But the reason I came is because I'm leave Alaska." I waited for a second to see their reaction. They were surprised.
"Hold on…leaving? What do you mean you're leaving? Who's going to run the shop? Are you coming back? Come on, Jake, you have to give me a little more here." Amber and Mason looks at each other for a second then turn back to me.
"Well, I'm leaving for good and that's why I needed to talk to you. I know you've wanted the shop for years now, so if you're still up to it, I want to sell half of the ownership to you. I plan on opening another shop where I'm going so you can run this one while I run that one. We split the profits 50/50." The looks on their faces are priceless.
"What? You want to sell me part of the shop?"
"Yes, if you still want it. The only thing I ask is you keep up with the books for this location and let me know if you want to make any changes and we change the name from Jake's Auto to J & M's Auto Repair. You're the only one in the shop I can really trust. So what do you say?"
"What do I say? Hell yea is what I say!" I chuckle as Amber elbows him in the side for his language. "I mean, sure, I'll be honored." I smiled then. That's one less thing I have to worry about now. I handed him the papers he need to sign and he handed them to Amber to look over.
"Here are the papers. Everything is in there. We split it down the middle like I said you can just write me a check for the amount listed and half the shop is yours. If you want to change anything to the shop just let me know so I can do it to the new shop."
"Dude, thank you so much. You will never regret this. Now to answer my next question, where are you going?" I knew that question was coming. He knew about Leah but not to the extent of me moving back for her. I had to answer this lightly.
"I'm moving back to La Push. I can't stay here."
"You're moving? What about Renessmee? Won't she be heartbroken that you're leaving?" Amber asked confused and concerned.
"She doesn't know…well she may know now from the note I left her. I couldn't face her. I know that's not the manly thing to do but how could I tell the women I have been with for years that I'm leaving her?"
"For someone else, I don't know but you could have done better than leave her a note. But I guess I understand. Nessie can be a little…strong." I turn my eyes towards my hand, still not really comfortable talking about Nessie.
"Yea, well, she's with Nahuel now, so I think she may be alright." I said with acid laced in every word. Amber hands the papers back to Mason and I check my watch to see how long I've been here…3:53. I need to go before Nessie starts to look for me. Mason signs each paper making him my partner and co-owner. After he signs I look over it to make sure he signed everything.
"Well, looks like everything is in order. Great doing business with you, man. Now all I need is the check and I will be on my way." Mason signs a check made out to me and hands it to me. I put the check in the folder I carried the papers in and shake Mason's hand. I then get up to leave giving Amber and Mason a hug on my way out. I smile knowing it will be a while until the next time I see them again.
"Call me when you reach the borders. Then call me again when you reach your dad's. Oh, have you told your dad that you were coming back?" Mason's concerns were heartwarming.
"No, he doesn't know. I thought I would call him after I pass the first border. And I'll make sure I call you." I walk out the door and down the steps. I turn around to give my last goodbye.
"Oh, and by the way, please don't tell Nessie, the Cullen family, or anyone for that matter where I'm going. I would like to keep this between us. You can tell the employees about the deal but that's it. That goes for you too, Amber. Tell no one!"
"Ok, ok. We won't I promise. Now get out of here so I can get some sleep. Bye, Jake." I wave goodbye then got into the driver's seat and start the car. I check the time on the radio, 4:00. I pull away feeling a since of sadness that I was leaving the only home I've known for 7 years. I'm now going back to the one I've missed for those same 7 years.
Leah, here I come.
