Nova | Jacob Black

23: "I'm sorry."

Nova

"What was that Nova?"

Mom was furious as we drove back home, she never bought the dress.

"Aren't you still dating Jacob? What do you think you're doing kissing that boy!"

She was completely right, I was with Jacob and technically I had cheated on him. And with Theo, of all people I cheated on the love of my life with Theo.

I admit I was dying inside right now, I did the one thing I never though I would ever do to Jake.

"How could you cheat on Jacob?" She hissed, glancing over at me with pure anger in her eyes.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. Wishing she would just go away and leave me alone, dealing with my angry mother was the last thing I wanted to do right now.

The car ride was silent.

The second we got home I rushed inside, only to be stopped as soon I entered the hallway.

"Nova, we need to talk about this."

I groaned, turning around and pretty much stomping my way towards her. We were the same height, but at the moment she was towering over me. A frown on her face as I sat down on the couch.

"Who is he?" Was her first question.

I couldn't possibly tell her the truth, she'd send me to some kind of therapist.

"I met him at school."

She sighed, " why were you kissing him?"

What was I going to tell her? That he just looked at me and I melted into him. That would possibly make her even more angry.

"I like him."

"What about Jacob?"

My stomach dropped at the mention of his name, I was forgetting the most important person this was going to affect.

I had kissed someone else, when I loved Jake.

I could feel the tears springing to my eyes, if Jake ever found out it would kill him. I was his imprintee and I cheated on him. The one person I vowed never to hurt, I hurt in the worst way possible.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, covering my face with the sleeves of my sweater.

"You sound just like your father."

I looked up at her, shocked that she was comparing us, I could feel my face start to heat up. I was nothing like my father, I would never purposefully cheat on the person I love. I didn't plan to kiss Theo. And it's not like I left behind two heart broken children in the process.

"I'm nothing like him." I hissed.

"I just hope you tell Jacob."

That was the last thing she said before walking away.

I stared at the bookshelf in front of me, I hadn't moved in over an hour.

I have to tell Jake, I was just debating whether to do it now or later.

I sighed, falling back onto my pillow.

The same smell as earlier filled my nostrils, I sat up to see Theo sitting at the edge of my bed. Surprised, I jumped out of bed, only to have him appear inches away from me.

"Hello love," he greeted.

"Go away," I hissed.

"Wow, from our kiss earlier I was expecting a much warmer welcome."
