Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
I drove away, but I could feel Dr Cullen's eyes upon me as I did. I looked back to find him
standing before the ER entrance just watching me as I went.
"Fuck!" I cried as I wiped at the tears that started to fall down my cheeks as I made my way out of the maze that was the hospital's parking lot and back on the main road. I had barely left when my phone started to ring. I glanced at the name, half expecting to see Edward's name lighting up my screen, but instead it was Jake.
"What?" I spat as I clicked to answer his call.
"Did you really leave?" he demanded in a low hiss of anger.
"I told you…"
"I am done. Do you hear me?" he asked in a soft, but deadly tone that I had heard before.
He was always done.
He was always the victim.
Typically, his emotional pleas did work with me.
I felt guilty and he knew it.
He often used it against me.
"I understand," I said simply, coldly, hoping like hell that this would be enough to push him away for good.
"I don't get you," Jake laughed in disbelief.
"After everything I did for you," he sighed as I remained silent.
"I didn't ask you to do anything," I reminded him.
"You never had too," he admitted with a sigh that made my heart hurt.
"Jake, I never wanted you to get hurt. I just wanted…"
"Yes, I know, but here we are," he said with a bitter tone as he spoke his name.
"Listen, Jake, I gotta go," I said as I drove aimlessly, needing this conversation to be over. I was in no place to deal with his guilt.
"Come home," he urged as I shook my head.
It was never my home and neither was he.
AN:
Thanks for reading. This story is coming to an end. Maybe another 5 chapters per the outline? After that I will be completing Between Friends & back at it with The Fall. I do have a quarantine smut one shot that I might post as well.
