"Wait. I want you to keep this." he said and he gently lifted my hair and tied his mother's necklace around my neck. His hand lingered softly at the back of my neck. "I can't take it, Alec. I don't know when - if I'll be back." "My mother had told me that I would give it to the one I love. You have to keep it. Do with it whatever you want. Its yours. Just like my heart. No matter how many miles will divide us, I'll always be thinking of you. Please return. I will keep my word and not follow you, but please come back to me." he whispered softly in my ear. My urge to stay overwhelmed me but I knew I couldn't give in. I stepped away and looked one last time at his piercing burgundy eyes. "Goodbye Alec." And with that I left, leaving behind my only reason for living in this empty cold world. +Twilight Fan Fiction+
