KABAM! here is it, the new one: Enjoy!
*** Nessie ***
I don't believe in love. I used to once, but now I know better. You think your in love once, only to wake up years down the road when your daughter is all grown up and your marriage has failed. It's only then when you realize that there is no such thing as love.
Friendship love, maybe. But not romantic. Romance is one of those short term happiness type deals. That's why the secret goal of me, Renesmee Cullen, is to never be weakened by the concept of love. Because if I ever did, I would so regret it.
"Just leave me alone!" My mom sobbed in the next room, trying to keep her voice down now that we lived in the main house. It was the first night, and it already wasn't going so well.
I set the last of the clothes I was able to salvage inside the dresser. Our house was destroyed earlier today because my dad went on a bit of a rampage. And let me tell you, that was a sight to see. The perfect Edward destroying a nice gift from his family? Unheard of!
I put my hands on my hips and looked around the spacious room. Pretty nice, except for the color, that is. My new third floor room was painted white, something I would need to take care of. I was thinking purple and black might be a good choice. Very vampire, if you ask me.
"Bella, please-" My dad whispered, trying to calm her down because he was probably embarrassed. It wouldn't work though, because no conversation was ever private around here. You match a nosey family with super sensitive hearing and you're basically screwed.
"Please, just leave me alone." She made another failed attempt to whisper. I was starting to think it was a mistake to pick a room right down the hall from Mr. I-am-always-right and Mrs. My-happily-ever-after-was-ruined.
The door slammed, and my father stomped down the hall, much to loud for a vampire. I knew I shouldn't have, but I took this opportunity to talk to my dad about my "punishment". Normally I wouldn't have took such a large risk, but I would die in here after being grounded one more day!
"Dad, wait!"
He turned around, looking pretty pissed.
"Since we're in a new house, does that still mean-"
"Yes, you are still grounded, Renesmee."
"But Dad, it's summer!"
"No buts." And with that sad, pathetic argument behind us, he turned and went down the stairs.
I swear, I couldn't wait until I could move out of this place. Sure, I loved my family, but I wanted to live my own life. There are so many better things I could be doing that grounding me seemed completely useless. Oh, and not to mention the reason I was grounded! All it was was one little prank gone bad, nothing to be so upset about. I mean after all, I am only four!
So the lesson I learned this week was to never die a vampire's hair, because it won't come out. Uncle Emmett and I put some green die in Dad's shampoo, and now it's apparently going to be impossible to get the "natural bronze" back. Since the green would be permanent he had to buy some stuff to die it back, but he claims it'll never be the same. What a baby.
I sulked back to my own room and slammed the door, just for dramatic effect.
Two hours later, I was still in my room watching reruns of shows on my laptop.
"Really, Ness? Teen Wolf?"
I jumped off my bed and stumbled backward. Even though that was my favorite voice in the world, it still scared the crap out of me. "Jacob! Don't do that!" I tried to whisper so my family wouldn't hear, but I knew it was a lost cause.
"What? Scale the side of the house for you? Jesus, Nessie, why the hell is your room on the third floor?" He was leaning through the window, probably standing on a branch below him.
"Well," I tossed my hair over my shoulders and sat back on the bed. "I wasn't expecting company."
"Well that explains why you're being such a terrible host! Aren't you going to invite me in?" He asked innocently. I bit my lip, trying not to smile.
"Oh, my bad, Mr. Black. Won't you come in?"
"Certainly, Ma'am." He swung himself through the window and pulled me off the bed into a crushing hug.
"Um, Jake!" I gasped.
"What?" He didn't let go, he just hugged harder.
"Can't. Breathe!"
He let go, sending me flopping back on the bed. "Sorry, Ness. I can't help it that I'm buff."
"Hah! Whatever!" I smirked. Teasing Jacob was probably one of my favorite things to do.
"What?" He faked a hurt look, "Should I remind you of the time we arm wrestled?"
I grinned. "You mean how I let you win?"
"Hardly."
He sat on the bed with me and pulled me close to him. There was nothing romantic about it, it was just always that way with Jacob. He was my best friend, and I had the kind of love for him that I could trust.
I leaned up against his shoulder as he pulled my laptop back. "So what's this crap you were watching?"
"It's not crap!"
*** Jacob ***
When I opened my eyes, it wasn't dark anymore. The clock on the nightstand said 7:05. Nessie was curled up against me, still asleep. I slowly got up from the bed so I didn't disturb her, kissed her on the cheek, and jumped out the window.
The only thing going through my mind was a stream of curse words. I was supposed to be on shift with Leah an hour ago.
I phased and ran to meet her.
It's about time you showed up.
Sorry, I was...busy. I tried to hide where I was in my mind.
Yeah, were you with your vampire? She thought bitterly.
She's not a vampire!
Might as well be. It's disgusting how you spend so much time with her.
She's my imprint, Leah! I love her.
I felt some emotion coming from Leah, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. She's only four years old.
She looks like a teenager!
So? She's pretty short if you ask me.
Leah, what are you trying to say here? If I was in human form, I would've sighed. She probably thought she had a stupid crush on me or something.
You should've picked a better imprint.
I'm not even going to respond to that.
You just did.
I hate you.
Whatever. I'll go south. She turned to run, but before she did she thought, And take a bath. You smell awful.
review? please? (:
