I woke up, combing my short hair to look a little presentable for Alec. Since I became a werewolf, I had to keep my hair shorter. Good thing I can pull off a bob. I ran downstairs after I brushed my teeth and found no one is in the house. Seth left a note in the fridge that he will be hanging out with Samantha today. Alec was nowhere to be seen, I guess he's busy from all the dirty work that old haggy vampires wants him to do.
I cooked myself a nice breakfast and ate. I washed the dishes and find myself on our porch after. This porch was too memorable. Every drama happened here, well almost every drama. I traced the wood with my fingers and instantly turned around because I felt someone was watching me. And there, I saw a familiar face, it was Jacob.
"Jacob!" I shouted, running to him and embracing him tight.
"Lee." He said quietly, as he wrapped his arms tightly around me.
"How are you? It's been, what? A year? Heard that Renesmee is all grown up and sulking over you." I said as I poke his arm.
"Yeah, well, the day I left you, I never came back. I learned how to control my imprint, and maybe as long as I'm not around her, I'll be okay." He grinned.
"Well, I guess that those things about us imprinting on each other was just a bunch of baloney right? – I laughed – but why run away from her? Why are you fighting the feeling?" I asked.
"It was never a baloney that I was deeply in love with you, and I am fighting the imprint because I still am." Jacob sighed, as he jumped through the porch.
"You do know that I'm still with Alec, and its no use to say that we have all the time in the world, cause probably you'll just wait for something that will … never happen." I sighed.
"Yeah, I know. I'm not waiting for anything in return, Lee. Just let me love you, and I'm okay with that." He kissed my cheek and started to walk away. I didn't say anything. I know that the words will come out of my mouth in this moment was going to create trouble, and it will just hurt him more. So as much as I wanted to say that I love him back, I decided to keep my mouth shut.
I sit down at the staircase and waited for Seth and Alec to come home. Seth bangs the door as if he won the lottery. I've never saw him so happy since forever.
"What are you grinning about?" I asked.
"I saw Jacob, JACOB! He was here again. I'm just glad to see him back. Why are you there? Where is Alec?" He replied as he sat down beside me.
"I don't know, he hasn't come back since last night. Maybe he's busy."
"Oh, have you seen Jacob yet? I told him I'll hang out at his place tonight, that I'm just going to change clothes. He said he'll pick me up. Why don't you come with us?" Seth asked.
"Will it be okay?"
"Of course, since when did you feel left out sister?" He chuckled, as he messed my hair.
I changed my clothes and hurried downstairs. I think Alec won't' be here for the night. I'll just leave a note. Jake was already there, he was wearing his favorite leather jacket. He was still as gorgeous as before. I smiled at him and walked to the kitchen, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to Alec, then posted it on the fridge.
"Leeeee-ah!" Seth called.
"Coming!" I said, walking back to the front door. I locked it and followed the boys to Jake's truck. I think this was the truck he told me about that one day he will buy, and I guess it was already a dream come true. I traced the back of the truck, "Finally! It's rad." I said, holding a thumb up.
"Thanks." He smiled.
We hit the road and it didn't take ten minutes to reach Jake's place. It was still like before and I guess Billy is still around. We got down the truck and Seth ran down to the door. I took a deep breath because I know I was alone with Jake, this was making me nervous even if it just lasted for seconds. I waited for Jake in their front door as he parked the car inside their garage. I looked around to see if someone is watching and all I saw is the dark forest that was surrounding the house. I think I was just paranoid. Jake walked towards me and wrapped his arm on my shoulder. I chuckled and pinched his cheek. We didn't sleep, I guess. I watched Seth and Jake as they play these wrestling games. It was just like the old times. When Seth was already asleep, we just hang out at his room as he tells me stories about what happened to him the past year when he was gone. He said he tried to look for other girls and even considered going back to Renesmee, but then he said it'll be hard to keep his attention to her when he has feelings for someone else, which is me.
"It's not fair for Nessie." He shake his head.
"I see. If we could just control our feelings that easy, this will be a beautiful world." I chortled, and finished my hot chocolate. "I was planning to sleep, but – I said as I point out the window – I guess the sun is out again."
"Yeah, sorry to bother you Lee."
"Not really a problem. I mean you've been gone for so long, it was worth it. I didn't know you could be that adventurous." I laughed.
"It was amazing, and would've been more amazing if you were with me." He said in a low voice.
"Everything's going to be okay. I gotta go. I think Seth is big enough to find his way home. See you later." I said, as I give him a quick hug.
