Chapter 15 Evicted
Leah’s POV at 18 years old
After I got over the shock of Jacob slapping my face and saying those hurtful words, I got up from where I was sitting and started back to the hut.
Jacob w as already there and was throwing my belongings outside through the upstairs door of the hut.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?!” I questioned him.
“It’s my hut. I built it.” Jacob replied.
“That’s not true. I helped you. “
“I did most of it. You can go find some other place to live.”
I said I was sorry, Jacob, what more do you want me to say?” I pleaded.
I don’t want you to say anything! I don’t ever want to see you again.”
Jacob shut the makeshift door because like I said, he always had to have the last word whenever we fought.
“You just wait Jacob Black I’ll get you for this!” I yelled to him while I was gathering my items
I stormed off after that muttering under my breath what a piece of work Jacob was.
After much searching, I found a small rock ledge not far from the hut that I decided to use as my new house. I made a wall from some of the palm trees to protect me from the wind and rain.
I also made a fire to keep myself warm but thanks to the rain and wind, my wall didn’t hold up very well and my fire quickly turned into smoke. I sat with my knees up to my chin shivering from the cold.
I looked up at the hut and saw Jacob sitting under the covered porch. He was giving me a smug smile and I glared at him as a response.
The next morning I was on the beach attempting to cook a fish that I caught but once again, I had no fire just smoke.
Suddenly a half eaten banana was thrown from the cliffs and landed beside me. When I glanced up, I saw the back of Jacob walking away so I knew it was him that had thrown the banana.
Later on that day I gathered a bunch of flowers to make a wreath. I walked over to the forbidden side of the island and left it at the base of the God statue as an offering on my part.
