The Hunters and The Hunted ~ A Jacob Black story~

Chapter 7 - Excepting

Emilys POV

I walked past my dad and opened the door, after looking at my red puffy eyes. I had a bad day today. Today was a half day, so. I was allowed to stay home. I knew it was Joey at the door. But, I guess it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

" Jacob?" I said walking on the porch.

" Look, I know you don't want to see me but, I got really mad when you were ignoring me at school." Jacob said.

" That's why you came?" I gasped. " I hope you realize what you've just done." I said.

" What the hell are you talking about?" he asked. 

" Come inside" I said.

I sat silently on my bed. Jacob walked around my room. Looking at my photos and my movies stacked neatly on the shelf.

" Look" I said.

" They are your whole life, aren't they?" He asked, giving me butterflies. I sighed, but nodded.

" Why weren't you at school?" he asked. I shrugged. " Meltdown" I said.

" Your dad's nice" he said changing the subject. " Yeah." I said.

" As I was saying" I said quietly.

" I didn't mean to ignore you. I just don't want you to get mixed up in my life. The less you see the better. Trust me." I said straightening my comforter.

" Why did you have a meltdown?" he asked. I shrugged.

" Come on, trust me a little." he said. I hate that word. I hate it with a burning passion. To me, that word can control your whole life, but thats what everyone wants.

I shook my head. " No"

" Jacob, thats the problem. I can't. Nither can you. Ok? Only trust your pack. Don't trust anyone else. Not even me, ok?" I said.

" I can't not trust you. You just give me a safe feeling. I know that sounds girly but you do." he said.

I sighed quietly and layed my head in my hands.

" Why do me and the people I love, pick people who treat us like crap?" I asked. He stayed quiet.

" You can't be around me Jacob. I'm bad for you. ok?" I said quietly.

" Thank you for saving me. I owe you my life and I'll always make sure your safe, ok?" I said placing my hand on his chest.

" That's the thing. I can't just leave you alone. Don't you feel anything when your with me?" he askedd. I sat back down and tucked my legs under me. Think. What is he talking about. The butterflies in my stomach, the feeling of needing to die instead of him. Oh. My. Fucking. God.

" you imprinted on me?" I cried. He smiled.

" I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." I cried.

I was shocked when he pulled me close to him.

" What are you talking about? Your amazing. You already know that I'm a wolf and you except that. You're all anyone could ever want." he said.

" Please don't say that." I said backing up from him.

" Look, I get it if you don't want to be with me. But I'll always be here for you." he said running his hand through my hair.

" It's not that I don't want to be with you Jacob. Because I do. But do you see this? " I asked gesturing towards me and the air.

" I don't want you to have to deal with this. Your main focus should be on your pack, not on me." I said truthfully.

" We take care of eachother. Were not as easy to kill as you'd think." he smiled. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forhead.

" I'm sorry that I'm fucked up." I said. He frowned. " Your broken, not fucked up. But don't worry." he smiled.

" Why?" I asked.

"  I have ductape" he smiled
