As I stared out the car window, I began to notice more details than I could before. I could notice large rocks on the road. My eyes were getting better. I counted how many rocks I could see as the speeding car got even faster some how. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-
"Renesmee," My mother said over the back seat.
"Yes?" I answered.
"What are you doing back there? You're so quiet." She laughed.
"Her eyes are getting better." My dad answered before I could.
I frowned at him. He was reading my thoughts again. Though I knew he couldn't help it, it was still annoying. I rolled down my window slightly and let the speeding air hit my face. It didn't hurt. It felt great. My eyes closed and I leaned back in the seat, listening to the music my dad had playing. He was into the older types of music, which didn't bother me.
My eyes flew open as soon as I caught a whiff of the wolves. As the car slowed, I practically ripped off my seat belt (Dad made me wear one, though I'm not sure why), and burst out of the car while Dad was still driving. I heard him yell at me, but I was already running. As soon as I saw a small glimpse of his house I ran faster until I saw him.
"Jacob!" I yelled as there was a huge booming noise as our bodies collided into a big hug.
"Happy Birthday, Nessie." He said.
It was my third birthday that day, and I hadn't seen Jacob for a few days. I went around him and jumped onto his back.
"Carry me!" I laughed.
He pulled me up onto his shoulders suddenly, and I gasped. Once I was up there, I was really high. Jake was probably over seven feet tall, so the height actually scared me. I wrapped my fingers tightly into his hair, knowing I wouldn't hurt him.
"Where are Edward and Bells?" He tried to turn his head up toward me, but I was gripping his hair too tightly.
"They're coming," I giggled." taking their sweet time, as usual."
Jacob laughed and I saw Mom and Dad coming down the path with two huge presents. Jacob took me and led them over to where we would be having the party. It was a place not far from his house that everyone had already decorated with picnic tables and balloons. Seth seemed to be putting up the last few decorations over on the far right side of the area. He turned as he heard us approaching and waved. Jacob picked me up off his shoulders and put me safely on the ground in front of him. I ran over to Seth and gave him a big hug. Jacob showed my parents where to put the birthday presents.
My eyes followed them over to a picnic table piled with neatly wrapped packages in shiny paper. I examined each box closely; from where I was I could read most of the tags. Almost everyone from the pack had gotten me something. Jacob had gotten me a few things; one package I looked at caught my eye. Most of the packages were medium sized, except the two my parents had brought and this one. I stepped away from Seth slightly, getting closer to the box. He didn't notice; he was busy tying a balloon to some sort of weight thing. I got even closer to the box. I couldn't tell why it attracted me so much. It was just a large, long rectangular box. Anything could be in there. I stared at the box for what seemed like forever. I wanted so badly to tear it to shreds, to open it and expose whatever was pulling me to it. I kept slightly getting closer to it.
"Renesmee!" My mom's voice broke the box's trance.
I looked over to see everyone standing by the opening of the area, waiting for me. I quickly went over as Mom said we should go get the cake.
When the party started, Jacob told me I had to wait until the end of the party to open his big present. I will admit that I hated him for one minute, I wanted to scream and yell at him and make him hand me that box and let me rip it open. But, I could wait. That present had no power over me.
I found myself looking at the presents a lot during the party. I took a deep breath when it was finally time for presents. I opened every single one quickly, thanking everyone for what they'd gotten me. My eyes lit up as Jacob's big present was passed to me. I could feel my heart beat a little faster; I got a little embarrassed, because I knew my mom and dad could hear it.
"Nessie, if you don't like it, I can take it back." Jacob whispered into my ear.
That made me a little discouraged. I might not like this? I stared at the big package on the table. Slowly, I grabbed the top of the wrapping paper, and ripped it off. My eyes opened wide in shock at what was inside. I wasn't sure what type it was, but it was an electric guitar. It was an amazing turquoise blue, my favorite color. I read a few of the words on the box. I was so excited that I only saw two, "Gibson and X-Plorer ". I ripped open the box and picked up the guitar. I turned it and examined it for a while.
"Jacob, I-"I was cut off.
"You don't like it do you?" Jacob moaned beside me.
"No, no, no!" I said, "I love it Jake. Thank you so much."
He looked at me like I had just said the most amazing words he'd ever heard. I gave him the best smile I could and strummed a note on the guitar.
"You have an amplifier back home," Dad said, "Just don't shake the house down."
After the cake, we thanked everyone for everything, and left. I wanted Jacob to come, but Billy said he had to stay home that night. I talked with Mom and Dad on the way home, and they said I could start guitar lessons. Dad could also teach me a few things he'd learned over the years. I smiled and stared at the new guitar next to me. This would be fun.
