Chapter 19: I Miss You.

I miss you...

I miss your smile,

And I still shed a tear,

Every once in a while.

And even though it's different now,

You're still here somehow.

My heart won't let you go

And I need you to know,

I miss you.

I Miss You by Miley Cyrus.

Embry's POV

Three months, 27 days, 5 hours and 33 seconds. That's how long I had gone without seeing Gabriella; my Gabriella. She had left me and La Push after seeing Jasmine attacking me with a kiss because she thought I was cheating on her. I cried for my lost love every night but I never let anyone see me. They knew how bad I was hurting and the whole pack was suffering along with me because of the mind links.

I wish she would've let me explain; how I didn't love anyone else but her. But she never gave me the chance. Every day was a blur and I felt dead and empty inside because she wasn't here with me. I missed her smile and her sweet voice telling me that she loved me. I missed all the good times we had together; she left me broken and wishing for death to come knocking at my door. Because hell was better than not being with her.

I remember the day she left. I was hiding in the bushes in my wolf form watching her say goodbye to her family and the pack. It was painful, I couldn't even breathe properly. I wish I was there with her, hugging her tightly and begging her to come back to me. But it was all too late, I was too much of a coward to go and see her for possibly the last time. I regretted never going to her because I could've at least seen her one last time. Now all I had were our memories and pictures. She wasn't even here to celebrate my birthday with me. I hated how our relationship went; I thought that because she was my imprint that everything would go perfectly without any problems but fate apparently had other plans for us. The pack threw me a surprise party at Emily's house but I couldn't enjoy it. The one person that I wanted there was a thousand miles away.

The pack tried to help me get through it, but it was no use. They were all happy with their lives and had their imprints with them every day. I didn't. The imprints all reassured me that she would come back to me because of our eternal bond and I tried to believe them but it was hard. It was even harder to get up every day and look forward to living.

I couldn't help but be a little bit annoyed with Gabriella though. She didn't even give me a chance to talk and explain everything. If she did she would know that I wasn't cheating on her. But that didn't happen did it?

After she left, I was comatose for at least a week. I was moping and I didn't want to talk or eat or sleep. I tried calling her but she still ignored my calls.

I got a job at a local garage in La Push and was earning quite a bit of money for it. Who knew that people's cars broke down all the time? Because I certainly didn't. Working distracted me from all my sadness and got me to do something instead of just lie on my bed and think about Gabriella. Girls came to garage and flirted with me but I didn't even give them a second glance. They were the reason that Gab had left in the first place.

I tried to talk to her brother Danny once during school and ask him about how she was doing but he simply gave me a cold stare and walked away, not giving me the chance to say anything. It was really terrible not knowing anything about her life. I would sometimes wonder about her life. I wondered if she was back to being friends with that guy that started this whole mess. And if she was, where they together? I felt anger and jealousy course through my body but it disappeared after I took three deep breaths.
