tw: mention of scars

CHAPTER FIFTH-TEEN || BEDROOM WINDOW

"you told her without even asking me?! are you crazy??" Matteo exclaimed Anger drowning in his voice as he stared at his sister dumbfounded waiting for an explanation, Disbelief pumping through his veins as he fought against every urge in his body begging him to scream.

"I had to! good thing i fucking did, she would've been alone out there with whatever that thing's name was" Violet countered her voice almost at a yell as she tried explaining her actions to a pissed off Matteo.

"I wanted to keep her out of it for as long as we could— Wait... hold on- You went to see Jacob? After i fucking told you not to?? Then you go out in the woods alone with Bella and almost get yourself Killed?" Matteo yelled becoming increasingly frustrated with his sisters stupidity, His lips slightly  parted in shock.

"Don't word it like i'm fucking stupid Matt. Jacob Didn't hurt me. I'm pretty sure he's the one who fucking saved us today" Violet countered earning a frustrated scoff from Matteo. He couldn't believe her actions, Especially after their Mom.

"Are you hearing yourself Vi?? Us going out in the woods is exactly how every single mess we've been in has god damn started! Jacob doesn't care about you, He barely fucking knows you. The only person you and Bella have to protect you is me!" Matteo seethed with anger, Fear of being unable to protect both girls only causing his skin to burn with frustration.

"Matteo Joseph Lewis Leave then! Leave just like you did at the start! You thought something was wrong in this town and you jumped to leave at the first chance you got. Didn't care about protecting us then did you? Just cared about fucking your girlfriend. I can Protect myself!" Violet Snapped, Her heart racing with anger. She'd had enough of Holding back her own emotions to benefit others. She had to snap at some point... And she'd reached her breaking point.

"Don't you dare." Matteo warned his jaw clenching as he stood in the living room of the Lewis house, Urges to tear up the living room plaguing his mind.

"No. Don't you Dare. You fucking left me, You and dad. You knew what happened after mom died and you still left! You're just as bad as he is!" Violet spat her voice Almost poison as her words slashed at Matteo's heart, The comparison to their father making him ball his fists an an attempt at controlling his Anger.

"You're fucking insufferable! Fuck-" Matteo squeezed his eyes shut trying to control his anger, The Father comment having struck a nerve.

"This conversation isn't over!" Matteo exclaimed as he turned toward the door droplets of blood dripping from his balled up hand before he Rushed out the room, Leaving the house to control himself... Leaving Violet again.

"Prick!" Violet exclaimed tears pooling in her eyes as she rushed up the stairs to her room. She'd thought she'd done everything right. She'd thought telling Bella was the safest thing to do, and she still thought that. But Matteo, His anger it was Worse in Forks, It was worse than it had ever been in Beacon Hills...

She loved him, She did... Yet their relationship has suffered so severely after the death of their mother, The guilt that plagued both twins dig deep, clawing at their separate insecurities... Tearing them apart. Which had resulted in this.

*****

Violet laid on her bed, Storms of emotions wrecking her brain, Emotions she wished she could erase. her relationship with Matteo dwindling in such a way she was worried it might never return to the way it was before their mothers passing. And that fact scared her, Scared her more than she thought it ever would. She was angry, Maybe even angry was an understatement... But she didn't want to be alone, and in reality... Matteo was the only person she had.

Then victoria... The danger Bella was in. It all shook violet to her core. She'd lied, Maybe she could protect herself, Maybe against Peter Hale. But Vampires? She'd frozen in-front of Laurent. She would be dead if it wasn't for the wolves... And if one of those Wolves was Jacob...

Violet shook her head convincing herself it was just her fear of abandonment playing on her mind, Convincing herself the impossible. some legends are just that. they had to be.

A subtle tapping Pulled her from her thoughts, Causing her to sit up and look around her room— searching for what could possibly be making the irritating tapping noise. When her eyes fell on her window. Getting up she walked over to her window Narrow eyed.

Opening her window she looked down by the tree that stood tall a few feet from her window... and behind one of the branches that obscured her view of the floor below it she saw none other than Jacob Black.

"Violet" His voice echoed despite how he tried to be quiet in hopes of  avoiding waking anyone else in the house up— unbeknownst to him she was Home alone.

"What the hell are you doing?" She questioned leaning against her windowsill to get a better look of him, Confused as to why he was even there... He didn't want to see her, At least she thought he didn't.

"Back up... I'm coming up." Violet raised a brow in confusion but listened to his instructions backing away from the window, The chill of the evening air filling her room sending a shiver down her spine causing her to tug on the sleeves of her hoodie.

She watched as Jacob Effortlessly scaled the tree out side her window before gripping the frame and Effortlessly throwing himself into her room landing on his feel leaving her lips slightly agape at his strength for the second time having forgotten how strong the boy was.

"Hey" His voice was soft, His eyes had returned to the way she'd remembered them before soft. Yet she was angry. Not only angry at Matteo. But angry and Jacob, Angry at him for cutting her off, cutting Bella off. And for what he said.

Violet stared up and him waiting for more than just a 'hey' She wasn't that weak. She needed more than that. She deserved more than that.

"Look i'm sorry-" Jacobs glance softened further as he took a step toward Violet her fist gently connecting with his abs to stop him in his tracks as she shook her head.

"For what?" She urged for more of an explanation as her hand slowly fell from a fist, the palm of her hand Gently planted against his toned torso stopping from from coming closer until he'd given her a suitable answer.

"I wish i could explain... But i literally can't." Violet sighed crossing her arms over her chest as he walked around her trying to explain his thoughts, Violet turned to face him narrow eyed waiting for more.

"Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone? one that wasn't yours to share?" Jacob questioned as he sat on the end of her bed. Violets thoughts returning to Matteo... she'd told the secret that wasn't hers...

She nodded waiting for Jacob to continue as she took a step toward him as he stared up at her from the seated position on the end of her bed.

"Well that's what it's like for me... But worse— you have no idea how tight i'm bound." Jacobs voice became almost agitated at the end of his sentence as Violet shook her head taking a step closer, Almost standing between his legs as she ran a hand through his hair in disbelief finally taking a second to actually absorb what had been done to him.

"Jake... What have they done to you? Your hair, The tattoo... this isn't fair" Violets gaze softened, She liked it, The short hair... But it wasn't him. It wasn't the Jacob she was used to.

Her hand remained entangled in his short hair for a second longer than needed causing him to carefully take her wrist into his hand bringing it down from his head... A lingering sadness in the room causing Jacobs touch to be softer than it ever had been before— His eyes looked down to her hand, Her wrist. The sleeve of her hoodie having ridden up as she touched his hair.

A silence fell between them as Jacobs eyes fell on a few Silver lines that littered the skin of her wrist, the pad of his thumb Gently ran across the scars that traced her skin. And he could've sworn, In that moment his heart broke so violently it could've been heard from miles away...

As Violet noticed his eyes tracing her skin she pulled the sleeve of her hoodie down covering the scars as her heart skipped a beat. His eyes returning to hers as he looked up at her staring through his brows. He'd just uncovered secrets she'd wanted to remain hidden.

"That's not what it looks like" Violets voice wavered as Jacob fought every primal instinct inside his body that screamed protection, that screamed to be upset... Yet he held back, Controlling his own emotion and just placed a hand over her sleeve covered wrist and nodded before taking a breath to continue the conversation.

"Vi... You already know." He stood up, his hand falling from her wrist as their hands instinctively connected, Fingers interwinding as she looked up at him. she did. She knew. He was a werewolf.

"Bella told me about the beach story Jake... But what i know, What i know to be real, and what is going on... It doesn't work." Violet shook her head still trying to understand how their could be different types of wolves.

"There's got to be something Jake. If it's what i think, Then there's ways around it" Violet tried to understand having noticed how he could barely say a word that indicated anything more than speculation.

"it's not— it's not the same Vi, this is for life." Jacob shook his head as he stared down at her, The dim soft lights across Violets room accentuating every gorgeous feature of Jacob's face... and Beautifully toned body.

"Then— Let's get away, For a while. I know a town, I know a town with Others, Maybe they can help. We can Leave Jake.. get you out of this" Violet suggested, She knew Scott would always help who he could... And maybe Jacob Needed a Scott.

"You'd do that?" Jacob questioned tilting his head in surprise a sudden sense of security washing over him, While Violet's anxiety dissipated.

"i'd do it to help you..." Violet nodded as she let go of his hand, She couldn't let herself Jump into anything, She couldn't let herself feel anything and she knew that. Jacobs Jaw clenched as he shook his head, It was all too much, It was all too complicated.

"It's not something i can just run away from thought Violet. But i would Run away with you...if i could" Jacob shook his head only confusing Violet of his situation Further. If he was a wolf, Why couldn't he leave? Why couldn't he be an omega? Technically Matteo was. at least in Forks.

"I've got to go— They'll start wondering where i am." Violet stared at him in disbelief running a hand through her hair, why was everything so complicated?

Jacob's Urges were too strong, He cared about her, And no matter how much he tried to deny it what he'd seen had been heart wrenching despite the fact he didn't know the story behind the scars he knew the story would be more complicated than what the scars showed.

"Come here" He whispered seeing the stressed expression that had fallen over Violet's face, shaking his head he pulled the girl into his arms. aching hearts joined as their chests connected in each-others Arms. Jacobs arms secured themselves around Violet Filling her with a indescribable sense of security, a feeling she'd needed for such a long time.

He was warm, So warm. Not just in the physical sense but his presences was so comfortably warm as if he melted away all her anxiety from just a hug. She buried her face into her shoulder absorbing the comfort and warmth that enveloped her as she breathed in his musky scent of oak and pine mixed with subtle lavender.

"Please... Try and figure it out, It would be so much easier" He whispered as he held her in his arms, But she knew, she knew and he'd confirmed it. Yet was she ready to accept more supernatural forces in the world, especially when they went against the things she already knew to be true.. Jacob wasn't the same as Scott and Matteo.

"If you knew-" Jacob cut himself off as he rubbed the Girls back slowly almost as if he'd changed his mind about the sentence he was going to say... Pulling away from Violet he broke the hug offering her one last soft smile before he walked back to her window, In seconds disappearing in the darkness...
