All week Jasper kept sending me small things. Some more flowers, letters, chocolates, and small texts. I haven't really been responding to them other than just a simple thank you.

He really is trying. I feel the mate bond hurting me even more. I haven't told anyone I don't have much longer live. I just keep pushing through it and whenever it happens it's happens. I've accepted this now. I know that he is trying but I cannot help but still feel like I am not enough.

What if he is just doing this because Maria is dead and now he has to settle with me? What if he is only doing it because he feels like he has to?

My mind has started getting dark again. I don't even think Loki has noticed because he is suffering too from Edward not breaking up with Bella. Loki has spent a lot of time in one of the spare bedrooms now. I have been looking into ways of breaking the soulmate bond for him.

I don't really know if I want to do that with Jasper. I think I may just let the bond end me because I will never be enough for anyone to love me for me. From what I have found it takes about 9 months of being separated for the bond to break causing the people to die. Since jasper does not have a heart beat or any human characteristics he won't be affect, but I will. I counted the months and this is my 9th month. So my days are now number to single digits.

It is now the weekend and Victoria should be here soon. I leave the house and go meet up with the pack. Jasper had texted me wanting to talk more but I just can't anymore. I am too wrapped up in my head and truly believe he is only doing it because he has to.

I don't even realize I have made it to the pack because I am so out of it. Soon dad tells us it is time to go and we head out. We are waiting now for Victoria. Soon we get her scent and start chasing her. As we are chasing we look over and see the Cullen's running after her as well.

She must have figured out the truce between us because she is hoping back and forth between lands. As we get closer to her I notice she jumps back on our side and Emmett follows her. Oh no. Soon Paul stops chasing her and knocks Emmett into the river and is growling at him.

We have lost Victoria so I go back to Paul and nudge him to leave. The Cullen's all look at me. I help Emmett up and start to walk off. I shift back once I am out of the water. As I am leaving I hear "Payton". I turn around and see Jasper. "Can you please stay?" He asked.

I shock my head no and hung my head low and let out a whimper and walk back to the pack house. I just want this to end.

I just want Payton back

I just want Payton back. No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to be working. I decide to talk to Rose and see what I need to do.

"Hey can we talk?" I ask her.

"Yeah of course."

"Rose I don't know what to do anymore. Payton doesn't seem to be interested in coming back to me no matter how much I apologize. I sent her texts, letters, flowers, chocolates, and nothing seems to be working. I don't know what to do." I say with venom pulling in my eyes.

"Jasper, she is probably still having a hard time believing you actually mean anything you say or do for her. She has changed since we left. She is not the same girl anymore. She is even more guarded now, and after everything you said to her, and then Maria said to her on that mission, she probably doesn't believe you actually love her."

"But I do. I love her more than anything. She is my life Rose. I cannot live without her. I know this is all my fault but I just want her back. I just want my darlin' back." I say letting out a sob.

I curl up and just keep crying tears that will never fall. I cannot stop thinking about Payton. Her laugh, smile, the way she carries herself, and how happy she makes me.

It's times like these I wished I was still human so I could cry myself to sleep. I wish I had her back. I want her. And I need her.

The rest of the weekend went by slow. I didn't leave my room much. I just kept laying here staring off into space thinking about all the memories I had with her. The one that sticks out the most was our afternoon in the rain on a Saturday.

Flashback
"Oh come on Jasper. I wanna go to the waterfall please!" She begged.

"I don't know. It's suppose to rain soon."

She started to pout and came over and straddled my lap. "Pretty please cowboy" she begged again peppering kisses all over my face.

Oh this girl is melting my dead heart. "Okay okay fine. I could go for a hunt anyways."
She jumped up and started giggling.

She shifted to her wolf and the both of us ran to the waterfall. She messed around while I went to hunt for a minute. When I came back she was laying there looking at the dark clouds.

I got down beside her and rolled on my side staring at every feature. The twinkle in her eyes, the smile on her face, her cute button nose, and perfect cheek bones.

Soon she rolled over and looked at me. I put an arm around her waist and pulled her close to me. I grab her face and leaned in and started to kiss her. Her lips were so soft and perfect.

It started raining and she was giggling. She jumps up and starts twirling around in the rain. I got up and grabbed her waist spinning her around while her laughter filled the forest air.

When I placed her down she stole a kiss and started to run away at human pace so I decided to play along. I chased her around the open space of the waterfall and when I finally caught her I pulled her against my chest and kissed her passionately.

"Mmm I love you my cowboy"

"And I love you my darlin'."
