Eyota's POV
Emptiness…and pain.
That's all I could feel at the moment, it was a strangely normal feeling I had experienced through most of my life. An abusive father and an absent mother could account for this so very normal feeling.
"Eyota, baby please", I blinked turning my head to stare at a worried Kota who was rubbing my cheek affectionately. When I met his worried eyes tear welded up in mine. I gasped for breath as the tears dripped down my face and the pain in my chest bloomed to every fiber in my body. "Shh, it's okay", he cradled me to him as I sobbed into his chest.
Jeremy's POV
I paced back and forth rubbing my hands together listening to Chief sobbing behind her closed bedroom door.
"I'll kill him", snarled Johnny his body shaking wildly.
"Relax Johnny", Kane ordered looking equally murderous but he was pacing similarly to me. Brad was sitting cracking his knuckles looking just as blood thirsty as the rest of us. I was a violent person but Eyota was the closest I ever had to a mother so her pain was mine.
"How can you just sit there, that jerk denied her; I'll kill him", he growled loudly.
"You know if you killed him she'd die too; at least like this we can keep her alive and help her forget", Brad told Johnny standing up to stare him directly in the eyes.
"He's right", I said standing up moving toward them all. We stood across from each other all our fists clenched. "We're gonna help her forget him and we're gonna help her be happy", we all nodded looking determined.
A Week Later
Eyota's POV
I stared at the blurry reflection of myself in the glass. The rain padded the house loudly and thunder boomed loudly. The gloomy atmosphere was exactly how I felt. The pain in my chest was no just a strangely heavy pain. It was always there, when I went to sleep and when I woke up the pain was more of an ache the day it was before. It grew increasing everyday and so I slept less and less.
The bags under my eyes had increased, my hair lost its shine; I ate less. I knew what was occurring; I know what all this time and the denial by Jacob would result in. I was willing to accept it because this imprint mind gave me no other option except him; life wasn't one either.
"Eyota", I turned from the window to stare at Kota. I smiled gently at his nice suit but I could tell his tie was off center. I walked over slowly shifting and fixing his tie for him. "Thank you", I nodded gently. I had forgiven him; there was no point to stay mad at him. This all would have occurred eventually; fate always took control no matter the situation.
"Enjoy the wedding", I murmured and he nodded in thanks.
"I'll see you at the reception, start getting ready now", he told me and I nodded. He hugged me tightly motioning to the dress sitting on my bed before walking out. I stood waiting till I heard him slam the door before I sat on my bed. I wrapped my arms around myself rocking back and forth hoping to get this terrible pain out of my chest.
I sighed looking down at the dress sitting next to me. I fingered the silky material for a moment. It was a beautiful turquoise color; the dress had a corset style at the top and was strapless. The corset stopped at my waist and the silky material fell around my thighs stopping right above my knees.
I walked to the mirror pulling a brush through my hair before grabbing the silver butterfly clip Kota had given me pulling back one side of my hair and clipping it in place. I used the other side to hide the scar across my face. I lifted up the rarely used cover up to hide the bags under my eyes the best I could. I lined under my eyes with black eyeliner and rubbed some clear lip gloss on my lips.
I placed silver earrings that jingled like wind chimes and a silver pendant necklace on before slipping into the dress. Luckily the strings for the corset were on the side so I could do it myself. I finally ended with silver sandals that clipped on my ankles. I stared at myself in the mirror, even with the make-up on I still looked half dead…just not nearly as much when I didn't have it on.
I sighed grabbing the keys to the truck and leaving the house after grabbing my clutch. I hopped into the truck and drove slowly to the Cullen's house. By the time I got there, there were already many cars. I could hear the loud bustle of the people as I sighed deeply.
I stepped into the yard and paused impressed with Alice's ability to decorate in such short notice. The lights reflected nicely with the night sky. I sighed rubbing my neck for a second before noticing Bella's white dress spinning on the dance floor with Edward. I smiled gently at the couple.
I wanted to hate Bella…oh did I want to hate her. But I really couldn't, she was overall a nice person. Maybe a little on the weak side but she couldn't help her humanity. No human could be strong around so many vampires and wolves. I sighed before calmly walking over to the happy looking couple.
"Hello there", I greeted and they both turned to look at me. Bella's happy smile dropped when she looked at my face and it was replaced with guilt.
"Hello Eyota, it's great for you to join us" I gave Edward my best attempt at a smile.
"Congratulations both of you", I leaned forward and gave Edward and half awkward hug which he returned just as awkward. I leaned over and hugged Bella who hugged me tightly as if she were begging for forgiveness.
"Eyota", she began looking desperate I held up my hand and shook my head.
"This is your day Bella Cullen, enjoy it as a carefree bride should", I smiled at both of them before turning and walking off.
"God Edward…what have I done", I heard her whisper as I walked off to find my wolves. Some rammed into me and gasped but I caught them before they could fall. Katie blinked staring at me.
"Oh hi, Eyota! Kane and I have been looking for you everywhere!" she grinned brightly at me in her peach dress. She caught my hand in hers and I followed know she wouldn't be able to pull me even if she tried really hard. "Look who I found", Kane looked up and smiled. She reached for him and he pulled her into his side. My heart clenched in pain but I kept a smile on my face. Johnny wrapped his arm around my waist and I allowed him needing the comfort.
"May I have this dance", he asked me and I nodded. Jeremy grabbed my clutch and waved it at me. I gave a small chuckle even if it hurt to, he looked silly holding a purse. Johnny twirled me gracefully onto the dance floor and we swayed to the soft music. "You look beautiful", he murmured brushing my hair out of my face. I looked down letting my hair fall again to hide my scar.
"I don't wanna startle anyone with it", I murmured to him about hiding the scar. He sighed and shook his head swaying with me still.
"You shouldn't hide your beauty behind your hair", he whispered and I sighed. He pulled me closer and placed a kiss on my bare neck. I looked down just allowing him to sway me. He placed another tender kiss on my collarbone before looking me in the eye.
Jacob's POV
I rang my hands as I stood in the woods waiting for Cullen to bring Bella to me. I needed to see her one last time; to enjoy her as a human one more time. I paused with my pacing when my heart leaped forward and Eyota's scent filled my senses. I turned quickly my wolf begging to see her face. I sucked in breath when I saw her. She looked beautiful in the strapless dress; her bare shoulders for the world to see.
I could see each scar all over her shoulders and arms but her black hair swayed covering each of them up with its movement. She looked how I felt now; tired and in pain all the time. My heart always hurt and I paused to look down where her heart was but my throat clenching. The corset pushed up her boobs in just the right way and I watched mildly mesmerized until I watched her hug Bella and Edward kindly.
I growled loudly where I stood when Johnny twirled her around and held her too close. My spine tingled when he kissed her neck and all she did was have a defeated look on her face. It's like she had no energy to fight with him anymore. He dipped her at the end of the song and she gave him what looked like an attempt at a smile but more of a grimace. She turned away walking farther away from me my heart pulling out my chest to follow her.
"What's this all about?" I turned my neck when I heard Bella's voice happy to see her in her beautiful wedding dress.
Well that's all for now! I hope every enjoyed it! Please review and I'll try to update again later tonight.
