Summary: Paris had become Romeo.

I loved him.
I loved Jacob Black.
The revelation hit me like a ton of bricks; like a freight train traveling at 100 mph down a steep hill.

I wonder if Juliet ever realized that she was in love with Paris. If she had, would she have still taken her own life?

I stared at the icy waters below; the wind was stinging my cheeks, the rain drilling into my skin like pins. Did I really need to do this? True, I wasn't trying to kill myself; I was only trying to be reckless and stupid, in an attempt to hear his voice. But did I really need to hear it anymore?

Was there a possibility that I could be whole again, that the hole in my chest could be healed?

Yes. There was.

Jacob could make me whole again; he could protect me.

I knew I had two choices. I could continue to chase after Edward; chase after a dream that I had long since woken up from. Or I could face reality. Face the reality that Jacob was here, and he wanted me. That he loved me, and he wouldn't leave me.
He didn't leave me when he was told that he had to. He didn't leave me when I told him that I would never be whole again. He didn't leave me when I told him I still loved Edward.

As I stared out over the ocean, I realized that my choice had already been made.

And as I turned my back on the waves that were crashing below, I realized that everything had changed.

Paris had become Romeo.
