"Dad! That's not fair! Why can't I go see Jake?" Nothing was ever fair in this house. My dad would never let me go see my boyfriend. Well, he wouldn't let me go at all if he knew that Jake was my boyfriend. Darn it! I thought too much.
I looked into my dad's golden brown eyes. I wasn't scared. He growled.
"You and Jacob are dating now?"
"Yes, and so what? What are you going to do about it?" I started walking towards my room, but suddenly he was standing in front of me grabbing my arm tightly.
"Renesmee! I won't allow it!" He growled. It tried shaking his hand away from my arm, but without luck. Angry, I brought my hand up to his temple and placed my finger there. In a second I send him as many pictures of me and Jacob as I could. I send him pictures of stuff that had not yet happened. Me and Jake kissing, making out and … I felt my lips creating a smirk, when I saw my dad's face, his reaction to the pictures and sceneries I send him. He let go of my arm. His eyes turned dark as he got more and more angry.
"No," I heard him say under a deep growling, he quickly removed my hand from his temples. His grab was so tight, when he in his anger slowly started crushing it.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! DAD! Stop it! It hurts!" It wasn't something I was just saying. It really did hurt and I felt the tears running down my cheeks. Things normally went really fast in this house. Before I knew of it my mom was in the room pushing my dad away from me, making him stop. I fell to the ground and looked at my parents, the tears filling my eyes.
"Edward, calm down." I heard my mom say and of course my dad calmed down. He always listened to her.
"Bella," he said and kissed her. I rolled my eyes at them. They seriously had to kiss right in front of me? Now I knew how Jake must have felt hanging out with them for so long. They were way too into each other. I decided to take the chance and run out while they were still kissing.
"Were do you think you're going?" I sighed.
"Nowhere mom, I don't know what you're talking about." I turned around, but there she was again, looking at me with that motherly look of hers. I was amazed she even had a motherly look. I mean, my mom was only nineteen, eighteen if you ask her! She doesn't think it counts that she was completely turned on her nineteenth birthday. My mom, just have a weird relation to age, when it comes to that.
"What was all that about?" she asked me. I sighed.
"Mom, can I please go see Jake?" I hoped my mom would let me. She liked Jake a lot more than my dad did. I actually sometimes got the feeling that my dad really hated Jake. But maybe that was just something I was imagining. Well, of course there is the reason of them being natural enemies, since Jacob is a werewolf and my family is vampires. But my mom seemed to like Jake very well. Yes, my family are vampires, well, my dad's side at least. It's a long complicated story, so long that if you write it down it would probably take up four whole books.
"Did you ask your father?" My mom said. I looked at him and back at my mom again.
"Why can't I go? Nothing's ever fair here! Why won't you let me go see him? I hate you!" I screamed at them, and ran out the door as fast as I could. Of course I knew they would be able to catch up to me easily, but I kept running. It wasn't fair. I ran into the woods. Deeper and deeper and before I knew of it, I was at the border to the Quileute territory.
I stopped. I hesitated. I've heard the rules so many times. A vampire wasn't allowed to cross the border between the Cullen's and the Indians territory. But then again, I wasn't a vampire. Neither was I human. I was… a mix. A weird creature. Half of half. Vampire and human in one body. I just wanted to be normal. A full vampire or a normal human. Or even better! I could be werewolf like Jake! Or just be from his tribe.
But nothing could change what I was. Why was I even here? I didn't belong anywhere. Of course there was a few others like me, but they lived in south America. The only joy I had in my miserable life was Jake. He was my only reason to live, the only reason why I wanted to live. And my parents wouldn't let me. They wouldn't let me see him…
"Jake." I cried. The tears were floating down my cheeks, as I kept calling his name. I just sat there for hours, crying, calling Jake's name, hoping that maybe he could hear me. It was dark when I heard something move in the woods. I looked and didn't see anything at first. Finally my vampire eyes took over in the dark and I could see the big wolf that was coming closer. I didn't have to wait for long, and I saw him come out of the woods, a big golden brown wolf. Jacob.
"Jake!" I said in a breath and ran over to him and threw my arms around his big body.
"I missed you…" I whispered in his ear. The wolf shook its head as in saying "I missed you too." I sat down next to where he was standing. A split second went by where he left and came back in his human form. He sat down on the ground next to me. I leaned in against him and he put his arm around me.
We just sat there without saying anything, and I just let my tears flow and the pictures in my mind floating between us. He now knew everything what had happened. Everything I had felt, and everything I had thought. My tears were no longer running and I was just sitting there enjoying the heat coming from his body. I loved the heat. I loved everything about him. His smell, his smile, his eyes, his human form, his wolf form… I loved him.
I heard him chuckle and when I looked at him to see what was so funny, I realized that I had not kept the pictures in my head to myself when I had said I loved him. I felt the heat in my cheeks as he kissed my forehead. It was a short kiss, but I could feel the passion behind it.
"I love you too…" he smiled. He smiled and hugged me tighter.
"I just wished… we could be together…" I whispered. And remembered my father's anger.
"And why can't we? Who says that we can't? I must admit that I find it hilarious that you ''told'' Edward that I was your boyfriend!" He laughed, "He really does hate me!" I knew that Jake hated my father back. All I was told is that they used to be rivals for a long time.
"I guess… That if love can happen between a vampire and a human. Then why can't it happen between a werewolf and a…me?" I said with more hope in my voice. When I thought about that my mom was human when she met my dad and they made it work, then there was hope between me and Jacob.
"It is meant to be Nessie… You and I are meant to be together! I imprinted on you the first time I saw you. You are the love of my life! And I will do everything in my might to protect you as much as I can."
"But Jake… We can't even be in the same territories together… And my parents are against our relationship too. Jake… I love you too much to let you go." I felt a bubble in my throat that made it hard to swallow.
"Nessie... I just brought it up to the tribe… And you, and you alone are allowed to cross the border so we can be together." He stood up and walked over the invisible line between our territories. He stopped and looked back at me, reaching his hand out for me to take.
I stood up, and walked over to the line. I looked back. If I crossed the border my family wouldn't be able to trace me. I would be covered by the power of the wolves. I had to make a choice. Could I come back whenever I wanted to? But… I didn't want to go back. Everything that made sense to me in this world were right here in front of me, reaching out his hand, ready to take me in his care. I looked at Jacob. Looked in his eyes and saw my whole life reflected in them. A life with the man I loved. A life that could start right now. I reached out, grabbed his hand and took the step.
