Second Life (Book Two in the Awakening trilogy)

5: Say Something

JACOB

I know this place, I've been here before. It's where I found her, where I found Elizabeth. She's gone. The bond is still here, but she isn't. The Volturi probably found her. Either that, or she turned herself in, but El could never do that. She thought that she had nothing left.

She was wrong.

She has Gabe, she has Sue, she doesn't have to face her father everyday, she has a family that cares, El has me.

I don't have her anymore. They took my Elizabeth from me. As much as I need her, I am without her.

I am without my love, I am without someone to hold, I am without my sanity, I am without an anchor, I am without what I love the most, I am without knowing if my love shall return.

There is no such thing as fate, legacies are born from the choices we make. They say El and I were destined to be together, I say we luckily crossed paths.

I have lost what I love most.

I have lost what I need most.

I loved her.

I love her.

I needed her.

I need her.

And now she is gone forever.

ELIZABETH

You can either hide and be a villain, or die a hero, but eventually all heroes fall. Just like all GOOD things come to an end. Sometimes it's better to be one of the bad guys.

JACOB

She will be a scar now. Wounds heal, or turn to scars, but scars are forever. I will never forget her. The way she tastes, the way her accent peaks through when she gets angry or excited, the way her eyes stare into mine, the way her hair flows perfectly past her shoulders, the way her fingers trail up my skin, how she always knows when something's off, her scent, everything.

Elizabeth is perfect.

My Elizabeth is a perfectionist.

Even her name is perfect.

My Elizabeth had her whole life ahead of her.

Now, she is gone.

Our souls still linked.

But she is gone.

And forever in my heart.

My love for her is unconditional.

Dead or Alive,

She is my everything

Forever and Always.

The wind blows calmly through the trees making the grass whistle. I could've swore that I saw her today. Maybe it was just a dream, maybe it was real. Daring the world around me just to play a simple game. They may never know the risk and the price you pay.

Her auburn hair sways in the breeze, her beautiful skin always soft. Her eyes staring back into mine, teeth perfectly white. She's perfect. I love her, I need her.
************************************************************************************************************
Why do the good ones always die young? She had centuries ahead of her. We had centuries together ahead of us. Now she's gone, Elizabeth the whole universe revolved around her. It breaks my heart just thinking about. She was talking to me before she died. The last thing that she said- she told me that she loved me.
