One Hot Passionate Night

The sun was sinking in the sky. The day was slowly coming to a close and I was about to end one of the most important relationships in my life. I was sad and miserable. I might be happier than the next bride in getting married to Edward, but I was a horrible wreck heading to my doom at the moment. I was about to do the worst thing possible. The sun that had been my shining light and saved me from myself was about to be crushed in the raging storm that I was about to bring down on him. In marrying Edward, he had promised to change me. To transform me into the thing that I wanted second most in the world because it would mean being with my true love forever and beyond. And because of that decision, I would have to cut all ties with Jacob due to that stupid treaty. The whole thing was dumb. Why couldn’t they see it? I would still be me. Just a ‘better’ me. I lifted my chin and refused to be beaten by the sadness and tears that suddenly began to choke me. My vision blurred and I wiped furiously at my face to stop the torrent of rain that trailed down my cold cheeks. 

I’m so sorry. I love you Jacob. You will ever be my sun and I will never forget you. Never in my whole existence for however long that may be!

I pulled into the Black’s small driveway in my roaring truck. This thing would scare a bear from a mile away with the rumbling and groaning noises that came from it. Jake came loping out of the house to open my door for me.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen,” he asked as soon as he saw my splotchy face. He knew I had been crying.

“I can’t stay long.” Just long enough to break both our hearts.

“Oh. Well, do you want to take a walk?” He seemed so open and understanding of my condition as not to embarrass me in front of Billy. “Don’t worry, Billy’s over at the Clearwater’s home visiting. He’ll be gone for a while yet,” he winked at me.

“Thanks,” I said shyly looking down at my feet.

He took my hand and led me towards the back of the house along the edge of the woods.
