Jacob
" Its well and good that you confronted him in the hospital " said Dante breaking the silence once the two of us were alone , I didn't say anything I didn't know what to say because I couldn't say anything . There was too much to reel in and as cold and stoic everyone believed me to be , I wasn't that unbothered. I felt things , I had my own emotions and I felt scared and anxious as well .
" Her name was Ellie , I called her El for short .She was bubbly and a little ray of sunshine the first time I saw her , it was as if she just shot right through my chest - I didn't even know that I needed someone until I saw her . But the second my eyes locked on her , I knew she was the one " Dante said with a smile , that made his eyes crinkle, I always thought that Dante didn't smile , hell he didn't even feel anything . But turns out , I was wrong , he did feel several things -just for the right person .
Aren't you the same ? Taunted my heart .
JacobNot only because she would tell me that everything was gonna be okay but also because she wouldn't sugarcoat shit - she would ask me to be a man and face the things that were being thrown in my life one after the another . Throw some random quotes like ' Its God's will ' and what not and I will listen to everything that she gotta say because she was the only person who could keep me grounded at this moment before I lose my fucking rationality .The thing was I needed her here , to be with me .To be just by my side .Because she was the only one who could trigger the right strings in my body . She was the only one who could light up my freaking world , while I was feeling like I was being swallowed in darkness .But the thing was she wasn't here . And despite all my efforts to turn down the churning of my heart , I couldn't go numb and there was not a single possible chance for me to turn it all off . I can't
A mask was covering her mouth .. the one that was hooked on the machine . Her entire body was covered in bandages at least the part which was free of all the freaking tubes , cords and hospital gown . Seeing her injuries , I might have already lost my mind if it wasn’t already in a turmoil - I wanted to dash out of this room and give Wilkins another round of my pinched but I settled myself with cursing him under my breath .I was feeling so much at the moment , that I didn’t know what exactly I was feeling - there was anger, frustration , guilt but above all I was down right terrified . Her lifeless form , the lifeless way she was lying on the hospital bed that was doing me in .For as long as I have known this girl .. she was always full of zeal and love . She was a spitfire , she was the sweetest and the most smart girl , I have met .I had been so careful , so careful so as to not fall for her but Bella with her wits and quirks not only made m
Jacob" Was she right ? What am I even asking - if course Selina was right " it has been more than twenty four hours and other than the constant beep beep of the Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator , there was no sound in the room . It was dead silent and I hated it , I hate seeing her lying so quietly on the hospital bed - my Bella wasn't quiet , she wasn't shy and introverted yes but never quiet . I missed her eye-rolls , her quirky sass and her sarcastic jabs , I brushed away the lock of hair from her forehead and planted a kiss on the back of her hand .I wanted her to respond to me but just like the past thirty seven hours , nineteen minutes and seven seconds -I didn't get a response . No , if you are thinking that I was so out of my tree that I was actually counting seconds , minutes and hours- I wasn't . But I did set a timer and it wasn't helping , if anything it was like a constant reminder of the hours that I have spent without her .The
Jacob“ Get the fuck out of here “ the second I see Bella ‘s mom storming inside her ward , I knew that she got the lawyer’s summon - the one that I had him send her . Her expression was furious but it was no where enraged as mine , she has no right to be here -not after she uttered those nasty words about Bella .Ms Hamilton paused momentarily , her eyes went wide as she stared at me “ excuse me ? What was that ?”I don’t wait for her to move her ass because I knew this stubborn woman won’t walk out on her own , so grabbing her by her elbow - I dragged her out of Bella’s room , out of her life because from now on it was either her or me and I swear as hell knew whom Bella was gonna chose once she wakes up “ you have no right to be here , Ms Hamilton . You don’t need to see her because you don’t really care about her and don’t say that you do when you are going around t
Jacob“ I told your mother off “ I told her “ And yes , I sued her as well but before you get mad at me.I didn’t do it because I wanted to but because she really needs it . Unlike Helena who is not my mum - did I tell you about that ? I guess I didn’t because even I haven’t digested this news yet but -yeah she ain’t my mother as surprising as it gets , I am quite relieved that she and I have no relationship . At least I’m not half psycho as you said I was -a manipulative bastard yeah but not a psychopath . See I told you I wasn't a psychopath , didn’t I ? “ I didn’t know why I was even blabbering about this to her “ yeah anyways , your mum needs help - I don’t need to bother with Helena anymore but you gotta be in touch with Your mum , I know you won’t leave her alone and as much as I don’t like it . I won’t stop you , so I did the right thing I told her , how much she was hurt
Jacob"I know you will be really pissed off about this but honestly I don't care because I have been pissed at you all my life and couldn't do a thing to you so yeah - that account is settled . Now we are going to talk about the new one -Bella , she is really a good person , she is loving , compassionate and caring - something I can't say about myself " I stopped breathing hard as emotions clogged my throat , I cleared it before continuing on with my speech that I have prepared after thoughtful consideration " and she is mine , you hear me mine not yours and you have no right to take her because -" my vision went hazy and something warm and wet trickled down my cheeks . I inhaled sharply staring down at the wooden flooring away from the altar " because she is my everything . I know people shit around the word ' love ' a lot now a days but this different . I have already promised her a future together and I can't fulfil that one promise if she is not by my side . " my voic
JacobI knew that this was real selfish on my part but you know what fuck it , because if I don’t put a stop on my pain right now , it will keep brewing until I was on the verge of dying with it . So better just end it before it becomes too much for me to handle .“ Mom , you don’t owe me a damn thing . But if you really have a pull up there I need you to string it up for me -please bring her back to me because I need her “ still leaning against the cold marble tomb , I uttered my final plea “ if you bring her back I will try my best to be a son that you can be proud of , so please tell that guy to return her back , I will do anything -please mum “Nothing , not even a flicker of grass or any soft caress of wind flew next to me . And I knew she didn’t hear it , And honestly I didn’t blame her because if I was in her place where my own kid loved my murderer instead , I wouldn’t listen to his damn ple
Jacob“ Hey , I’m back mum “ standing in front of the white headstone without Dante was awkward enough . But I knew I had to be here because she had always been there for me , I placed the bouquet of roses on her grave . My chest was rippling with so much relief and gratitude than ever before “ just so you know , I’m going to fulfil that promise the one that I made to you . I will study hard and inherit Dante -no Dad ‘s company and be a better man and son , a son you can be proud of ““What I want to say - oh to hell with this “ I wasn’t the emotional type and with all the errs and momentary pauses I was certain that my mum must be laughing at me if she was watching me right now “ What I want to say , is thank you . “ I looked at her grave before looking up at the blue sky “ Thank you so much mum , I know you came through for me …I know you did “Because she had
