It's confusing, really. How Jacob has been acting lately. It was hard enough that Edward left abruptly, with his absence you sought Jacob to fill the gaps.

But when he started to distance himself under the pretense of having 'mono', something was off. Your calls weren't returned, he was out of the radar, and it was clear that he was somehow avoiding you.

The thought was proven to be true, when you visited his place and he was fine and thriving. He cut his hair, has a new tattoo on his right arm, and dismisses you completely. Leaving you hurt, and ultimately confused. It was like he was hiding something.

The thought was consuming you. How everyone is leaving, one by one. How he promised to never hurt you had backfired. You were hurt. There was no denying that. So when you heard stones being thrown at your window, you think it would be Victoria coming to get you.

But instead, Jacob Black, shirtless, in all his glory.

"Back away, I'm coming up." He tells you, before climbing easily onto your window and inside your room. "Hey." He says softly, hesitating. "Look, I'm sorry." When he goes forward, you push him back.
