Prologue
"Come on, Nessie!" Alice yelled.
"I'm coming!" I rolled my eyes. "Impatient pixie," I mumbled.
"I heard that!" Alice chimed.
I stuck my tongue at her from my room.
"Saw that too!" She laughed.
I zipped on my red dress Alice bought me. It was strapless and fluffly with real cotton fabric. It was the only dress Alice and I agreed on. She wouldn't buy me the black silk dress I liked and I wouldn't wear the pale pink dress she liked. We decided on this so I could wear a pair of black flats and put my up for Alice and I could wear a pair of lace fingerless gloves and black lipstick for myself.
I pulled my hair up into a nice bun with a few loose strands hanging over my eye. My hair was still in its golden locks but my parents said I could dye it whatever I wanted when I looked fifteen. Which couldn't be long.
Alice came upstairs a few minutes later. "Ness, you look gorgeous," she gushed.
"Really? Even for looking like a twelve-year-old?"
She nodded satisfactorial.
"Will Mom and Dad like it?"
She stared in the distance and smiled at me. That was a yes!
We went outside to Alice's car, which was now a yellow Jaguar, and headed towards the cabin Emmett bought Rosalie. I turned on the radio to the rock station and cranked up Red Jumpsuit of Apparatus.
Once we arrived to the cabin, Alice ran me inside. She wanted me to see her great decorating. The inside was covered with violet and black rose petals and had black linen covering the tables. A purple and white cake sat in the middle of purple and silver wrapped presents. I ran over to the presents and shook each one, trying to find the one that seemed most valuable.
"Happy birthday, sweetie!"
"Grandma!" I ran over to my grandmother and hugged her. I then hugged my grandfather who didn't hesistate to hug me back.
"I'll go cut the cake." Alice chimed. She grabbed the cut and headed into the kitchen.
Soon my parents, Jasper, and Emmett arrived. I hugged them each, Rosalie was at Washington State for her class final. I didn't want to disturb her "studying".
"Jake's here!" Alice called.
Dad went to open the door for him, he plugged his nose in advance. "Welcome, Jacob."
Jacob reluctantly nodded and headed straight towards me, his smile vanished and he began to scowl.
"Jake, what's wrong?"
"I have to talk to you."
"About what," I cowarded.
"Let's go outside."
"No, you can talk to me right here."
He looked around at my family, he sighed heavily. "Look, Nessie, I have...other obligations to attend to."
"Oh, well that's fine. We can just see each other tomorrow."
"No, Ness, it's more long-term than that."
"How long is it," I whispered.
He sighed and rolled his eyes, "I'm leaving, Nessie. I can't be around anymore."
The cake dropped in the kitchen.
Instantly my dad threw Jake against a wall. "Get out!"
"I didn't do anything."
"You're leaving my daughter for pack strategies?! Get out of here!"
"It's Nessie's decision."
They both turned to me.
"Don't call me Nessie anymore. Get out, dog." I whispered.
