Will Never Settle For A Quileute Boy

Shattered IPhone

Shattered IPhone

My heart did in fact stop on October 22nd, at 11:57am ...

My body froze as I looked down at the limp body that had been laying there. Faced down, in a pool of her own blood, with her phone laying beside her, shattered.

I didn't know what it was that made me stand there, how my reaction was so plain, almost as if I felt numb to anything at that moment. My best friend had been laying there, and I did nothing.

... Then it hit me all at once.

"SAM!!!!" I roared over the clapping thunder that had been above me, the rain had been pouring, but where she laid, not a drop touched her.

She looked as if she didn't see the crevice that had been opened, and she fell right through. But I couldn't reach her. And tears were running down my face, matching the rain water. My best friend of fifteen years had been laying there and I couldn't even touch her!!!

Sam and the rest of the pack have arrived and saw the explosion that was ready to come out of me. It didn't, because instead of going into a fit of rage, I broke down and fell to my knees, the tears came out fearfully, and uncontrollably.

"What's wro-" Sam began, but was cut short when he smelled her blood. Right away his concerned look, turned broken.

Embry and Jared jumped over Sam to get to her, and out of nowhere Seth was running up to the boys, and after two minutes Seth found his way down to her.

That was when an electric current flowed right through me, but not metaphorically. I had been struck with literal lightning, and I think I wasn't the only one. It had struck down to where my best friend was too.

"You can have my cookie Paulie, I dont mind."

"But why?" I asked her with a raise eyebrow.

"Because I love you silly. You're my best friend. "

-Age four.-

"You know I love you right?" She asked as we sat on the beach, throwing rocks into the water.

"Yeah, I know."

-Age six.-

"You're my best friend Jess, don't you ever forget that."

"But why would you want to be friends with a loser like me?"

"Because I love you silly."

-Age nine.-

"Cheers to being the bestest of best friends." She held up her sandwich, waiting for me to toast with her.

"You dont cheers to food Jess." I laughed while nudging her with my arm.

"Okay, so? It's toasted!"

"I love you." I smiled brightly.

-Age eleven.-

"Would you hold still! I need a good picture, goofball." She pulled me in closer although it was hard because she was so short. But I stood beside her anyways.

"Why do we need a picture?"

"For our memories. When we're both old. "

"But why, we're never gonna be apart." I mentioned.

""That's very true." She lowered the camera and then smiled at me agai. "I love you Paul."

"And I love you Jess."

-Age thirteen.-

*
"Pass the bowl nerd."

"You have the bowl Jess." I pointed to the bowl, and she just blurted out laughing with a snort. Which caused her to laugh harder, and then roll off the side of the bed.

"I'm the nerd!" She cracked up some more as I stood up and helped her off the floor.

"I love you, Jess."

-Age sixteen.-

*
"I don't want an apology Paul," Tears were already brimming her eyes, and the last thing I wanted was for her to ruin her makeup. I was growing more worried the more I stood in front of her. I was hurting her, and the last thing I wanted to do was see her cry, I want to punch myself in the face.

"Just forget about me, since obviously you couldn't even remember my fucking birthday."

-Age Eighteen.-

"I love you Jessica."
