My Big, Strong Warrior

How Could I Get Over You?

A/N : Just wanted to let ya know this chapter starts with Jake uwu

"Are you alright hun?" Nutmeg called to Jake as he pushed through his door.

"I'm fine darling.." He replied, sorrow filled his voice.

"Are you sure...? You don't seem happy. What happened outside?" Nutmeg worried. She stood up and padded over to Jake, noting the sadness in his eyes.

"Nothing.."

"Come on Jake, I know when you are upset." Nutmeg worried. "Please tell me what happened." Jake looked up at Nutmeg, tears soaked his cheeks.

"Well.. Tallstar visited.. He told me how much he loves me and it just broke my heart. I always thought he never really cared." His voiced cracked. "But now I know I gave up the love of my life for nothing.. And I'm not saying I don't love you Nutmeg, because you mean the world to me, but Tallstar.."

"Was your first love. I understand Jake. Please, if he makes you happy, go to him, I'd hate to see you upset." Nutmeg purred. Jake gave her a worried glance.

"You sure?"

"Mhm. Go to him." And with that Jake gave Nutmeg a farewell lick and ran out the door.

It was wet and slippery from the light drizzle that happened after Tallstar left, but Jake managed to cross the Thunderpath. "I'm coming Tallstar.." He whispered and ran on. He soon crossed into Wind Clan territory. Sniffing for a any sign of a cat, he pushed a patch of heather. Jake wasn't watching where he was going and bumped into Ryestalk.

"Intruder!" Ryestalk hissed.

"No no! I'm looking for Tallstar. I need to speak with him. Please." Jake pleaded. Ryestalk narrowed his eyes then turned towards camp.

"Come on. Let's get you in and out of our territory." He growled.

"Tallstar, some kittypet wants to speak with you." Ryestalk called. Tallstar pushed his way through his den, not looking up.

"Why should any kittypet care about me?" He hissed. Tallstar's words stung Jake's heart.

"It's me Tallstar, Jake.. I need to speak to you." Jake pleaded. Tallstar jerked his head up, his eyes wet with fresh tears, which he quickly blinked away. "Come." He muttered.

Jake sat down next to Tallstar. "So.. what do you want?" Tallstar grumbled. His attitude really hurt Jake.

"Tallstar... I made a mistake to push you away. I love you Tallstar. You are my everything." Jake croaked, tears streaming down his face. "I was mean yesterday, I-I ruined everything. You have no need to take me back.. I was a fool." Tallstar got up and licked Jake's face, quietly shushing him.

"It's alright Jake, you didn't ruin anything.. It's my fault for barging in on your relationship."

"Tallstar, don't worry about Nutmeg, she's happy as long as I am. My owners will find her a new mate in no time." Jake smiled, intertwining his tail with Tallstar's. "But seriously, I love you Tallstar."

"I love you too." Tallstar giggled, licking Jake's nose.

The sun was setting, there was no point in going anywhere, so the lovebirds curled up in Tallstar's nest and drifted off to sleep.
