Talking to Emily went very short but sweet. Sam isn't trusting the Cullens even though Cullens are the good ones. But Shelley understands his protective actions. She's his imprintee. Emily explained everything the blonde should know about the whole imprinting thing.

To what she gathered from her explanation, unlike her imprinter, the imprintee can choose whether she'll accept him as her 'soulmate' or not. It is, however, implied that rejection is highly unlikely since it is said that it would be very hard to resist the levels of commitment, compatibility and adoration. She also mentioned that the imprintee feels incomplete without her soulmate nearby.

If the imprintee chooses someone else, her imprinter will be in deep emotional pain. Nevertheless, he would still respect her choice as her happiness was all that mattered to him.

Shelley doesn't think it's totally true when it comes to the Jacob situation. He completely flipped at the mention of me being in love with Esdras. Maybe Jacob is a one of a kind nutcase to think she's in love with someone else other than him.

Esdras is still pissed. The blonde doesn't think his anger will slow down very soon. She's still expecting Jacob to show up even though send a few messages through Sam and Bella. But there's no sight of him yet. It's starting to worry her every single minute passing by. What if he doesn't want her again?

A knock on the door, snap the blonde out of her thought bubble and look up at the door. "Come in!"

The door opens revealing Jacob. His hair looks like he hasn't combed it lately. His face is pale and tired as dark under-eye bags are screaming out the lack of sleep he's having. He's the definition of a mess. Jacob's eyes slowly meet hers and then the large bandage. He looks so distraught and guilt-ridden at the sight of before him.

Shelley pulls on her sheets to cover to hide her bandage even though it's too late now.

"You don't have to hide what kind of a monster I am." He says with a low voice and takes a seat on the chair next to her bed. Neither of them talks for a while as Jacob stares at her silently and she looks everywhere but not him.

Then, he sighs and decides to cut the silence and talk. "I know that it's bullshit to ask you how you are because I know that you feel pain like hell. I want to say sorry for everything."

Shelley's throat begins to burn with the words struggling to get their way out of her mouth, but there's something that's stopping her. An invisible barrier that is shielding her.

It makes Jacob's lips quiver with a painful emotion and within the next second, he breaks down.

"Please don't stay silent. This is killing me." He cries at her silence and eyes brimming with tears. "Just tell me to kill myself. I can't bear this pain anymore. I hate myself. I hate myself for making you go through this pain."
