The Fallen ~ A Jacob Black love story~

Chapter 22 - Careful as can be

Emilys POV

I hurts, it really hurts. I need Jacob. It feels like it hurts to breathe. My chest is tight. I miss him. a lot. I sat quietly reading the book Efron gave me when I first met him. There isn't much that can help me. Just more postions for differnt bending poses. I've been learning a lot though.

" It's simple, all you do is throw the knifes at the target when it lights up." Efron explained as I looked at all the targets. About twenty. They are the size of a watermelon. " Why knives?" I asked, " We want you to extend your talents. We don't want you just to depend on your bending." I nodded. I watched as Efron walked back to the observing room. I hate this. It's like watching eggs hatch. Like I'm an experement. I'm surrounded by windows. They all watch me. I have 40 minutes before school starts.

I stood quietly. When Ren bit me. It definatly helped. I see better and I can hear everything. The first target. The one way in the back was the one that lite up first. I quickly, with all my strengh, threw the knife. Right, dead in the center. haha. They didn't think I could do it. I finished. Every one in the center, except for the last one, which was 1 centimeter away from the middle.--

I stood against the wall outside of school, Ren infront of me. Tears in his eyes. "I'm letting you go because I love you" I stated. He nodded. " Emily, I understand." he said. I nodded. " I over heard Efron and Isaac. How come you never told me that you and Megan were supposed to be together" I asked. He shrugged. " I know you love her Ren, it's ok" I stated. " I love you more" he stated.  " I love you too" I stated. " Not as much as Jacob though" he stated. " What?" I asked. " I get it Emily, you kind of have to love your imprint." he stated. My heart sunk.

Jacob imprinted on me. Why didn't he tell me? I must be killing him.

" So we are gonna be ok?" I asked. He nodded. " Don't be a stranger though" he stated. " You either" I said. " You should talk to Jacob though, I know you think what your doing is best but, he needs you" Ren stated. I nodded. I kissed him one last time. He smiled walking to his car. I cannot believe we just broke up. But it needed to happen. I love Megan, she's one of my bestfriends. I want them both to be happy.

I turned the corner, and I ran right into him. Smart Emily. I was going to talk to him. Just not now. I was still crying. I looked up and met his eyes. He frowned at me. I'm glad I'm still outside. I ran towards the forest. Jake calling me. He was running after me this time.  Just talk to him now Emily. I ran towards Jake's house. knowing that he would follow my sent. I didn't want to disturb Billy. I'm sure that he would be happy to see me. But I didn't want to interupt him and Sue. I walked over to Jakes grage and sat on his stool. I looked down at the parts. All layed out on a blanket. I heard Jake's breathing. He's close.

" Hey Jake" I said as my eyes " You're a werewolf" he stated. I furrowed my eyebrows. " Dammit Emily answer me" He yelled. I jumped. " Why didn't you tell me?" I said walking to him. He stood outside in the rain. Looking in at me. " Tell you what?" I asked.

" You imprinted. On me" I stated. He looked down. " You were with Ren" he stated simply. Looking in my eyes. " Why Emily?" he asked . I placed my hands in his. Letting him feel how cold my hands were. Showing him. I'm not a werewolf. He sighed.

" I don't understand ,I called like 90 times, literally. You didn't answer. I texted. I visited.  It's my job to protect you Emily.  Thats what you do for your imprint. I'm going to protect you Emily we all are. I hate that you left. I hate that you think you have to do this all by yourself. I don't understand why you can't see how much I love you, I-"

I cut him off from ranting and crashed my lips onto his. Not caring that it's raining. I've always wanted a kiss in the rain anyway.

But finally. It was right. Jacob was mine. I was his. Now, I could feel loved. I felt the pull that I was supposed to. It was amazing, Perfect. Jake was perfect. When I pulled away. His gaze never left mine.

" What was that for?" he asked with  the littlest, cutest, boyish smirk. " I love you" I stated. " More than anything in my entire life. I'm sorry I shut you out. But honestly. I've always loved you." I stated. 

" I'm sorry" I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
