(This is set 7 years after BD)


Nessie's POV
School had been in session for three months. And I absolutely loved it. I had been home schooled my entire life. I had never been to a real school. Considering the fact that I age so fast. But now at 16 I had reach full maturity and was psyched being in school. My best friend was Jacob he had enrolled in school when I had. He knew me like the back of his hand. And I knew him just as well. He had been there since my birth. Now that we were both 16 I looked at Jacob differently. He was never like a brother to me. For some reason I just could never think of him like that. He was...... Well lets just be honest Jacob was hot. And he had such a good heart. But I didn't ever express these feeling to Jacob or anyone else. I made myself only think of Jake as a friend when I was around my family. Especial my dad. I don't think he would like some of the thoughts I had. The place I was right now was my hiding place. Somewhere I could go that no one else would come to. The only other person I told about this place was Jacob. But I knew I should be getting back. Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett were coming for a visit. I stood up and ran the 3 miles home. I got there in about a minute. Rose and Emmett had been gone for quite awhile. Four months since the last time we saw them. So I was really excited. When I walked in to the house I saw everyone sitting around the table. Including Rose and Emmett.

"There she is." Uncle Emmett said getting up and giving me a bear hug. I smiled and hugged him back.

"I missed you two so much." I said walking over to Aunt Rose when Emmett had put me down.

I gave her a hug and peck on the cheek.

"We've missed you too. How have you been?" Rose said.

"Good. I love school so much."

"I am sure have made friends fast." Rose said.

"I have. Jacob and I are having fun."

"What?" Rose hissed.

"Oh that's right. You don't know. Jake enrolled with me. He and I go to school together."

"That's cool." Emmett said. Emmett had grown to like Jacob. Rose on the other hand had no intentions of ever liking him.

"Ew. That mutt is still around?"

"Don't call him that!" I said heatedly. I hated when she was mean to him. I didn't like Jake being mean to her either. Rose looked around at everyone else.

"What? He needs just forget about what happened and go back to where he belongs." Rose said bitterly.

"What? What are you talking about? Did something happen to Jake?"

"No sweetie. Jacob is fine. Rose don't." My dad gave her a warning glare.

"Why? She deserves to know. She 16 now for a month. I thought that dog was going to tell her the minute she turned sixteen."

"Tell me what?" I said completely confused.

"Rosalie. STOP IT!" Dad yelled. "This is none of your business and by no means your place to tell her."

"Tell me what?" I said still trying to stay calm. I was now standing in the center of the semi-circle that my family had created. No one said anything. Everyone just looked either at me or at Rose.

"Oh for the love of god. Jacob imprinted on you Renesmee. This what we are talking about." Rose said. The world stopped. I heard no one. I was just standing there shocked. My mother was in front of me when I finally snapped out of my shocked state.

"Renesmee, sweetie are you okay?" She asked her eyes full of concern.

"Is it true?" I asked almost in inaudible. No one answered. I knew they had heard me. But I asked again louder. "Is it true?" Mom looked over my shoulder at dad. Finally someone broke the silence.

"Yes, Nessie. It's true. Jacob imprinted on you." Grandpa Cullen said. I had learned about imprinting when it happened to Seth. It didn't had not ever registered to me that Jacob had imprinted on me. I didn't know what to feell exactly. I was angry at my family for keeping this from me. Shocked. Hurt. Then he walked into the house. And my temper flared. As much as it hurt that my family kept this from me it was nothing compared to the hurt I felt when I saw Jacob.

"Hey everyone." Jacob said smiling in his usually happy tone. I didn't say anything to him. I walked over to him and slapped him across the face as hard as I could. Which was pretty hard. Jacob stumbled and let out a scream of pain as he held his hand over his cheek.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen!" Mom said. But I didn't care. I ran out of the house and into the woods. I ran to my special hide out. A small enclosure surrounded by trees. I was crying so hard I just fell over when I made it there. It was only a few minutes later that I heard Jacob. He walked into the enclosure. He walked over to me and tried to pull me up to him.

"DON'T!" I said standing up and backing up against a tree.

"Ness. I am so sorry."
 
"You keep this from me Jake. Me. I tell you everything. Things I would never tell anyone else. And I had to hear it from Rose."

"She never should have said anything. It was never that blond bitch's place to tell you."

"JAKE!" I said.

"Sorry. But it wasn't her place. Everyone agrees with me on that."

"I agree with you on that too. But when were you going to tell me Jacob?"

"It's not that easy Ness." He started to walk towards me but I held up a hand.

"Just go. Please. I want to be alone." I couldn't look at him anymore. The hurt in his eyes almost made me want to give in and forgive him. And I wasn't ready to do that. Jacob advanced towards me and stopped right in front of me. Kissing me on the top of my head.

"I'm sorry Ness." He said before running back into the woods. I let myself fall to the ground again and tried to make sense of all this. After a few hours I finally went back home. Only because I had school the next morning. When I walked in I walked straight upstairs and into my room. Shutting the door behind me. No one came to check on me not that I wanted them to. I woke up and took a shower the next morning. I had so desperately wished what happened last night. But my dad quickly let me know that it was not. He stopped me as I was on my way back to my room after getting out of the shower.

"Ness, I know you are still incredible mad at all of us and I understand. But it wasn't our place to tell you."

"I know." I said not wanting to talk about it. "I need to finish getting ready I said walking down the hall and into my room. I looked in my closet for what I would wear today. Usually Alice already had my outfit picked out and I wore what she choose just to save myself from and agrument. But not today. I grabbed a pair of destroyed denim jeans, a purple tank top, and a plain blue hoodie. I grabbed my sneakers out from under my bed and put them on. I was not looking forward to breakfast downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a orange. I didn't really have an appetite today and I had fed last night before Rose and Emmett arrived.

"Did you get that paper that's due today finished?" Mom said. I had been absentmindedly picking at the orange. I looked up at her.

"Yes." I said looking back down at the orange.

"Renesmee, I know that you were upset but let's make one thing clear. You do not under any circumstances hit Jacob again. Or anyone else for that matter." Mom said. I looked up at her. I was surprised by what she said.

"Jacob's fine."

"I don't care. You do not do that."She said. I rolled my eyes.

"I have to go or I will be late for school." I said standing up and throwing the uneaten orange into the trash. It was 7:45 and I of course would have plenty of time to get to school. Most of the time I rode with Jacob. I didn't have my license yet. I hadn't really seen the point in having it up until now. I liked riding with Jacob to school. But getting it was sounding more tempting by the minute.

"Do you want a ride Ness?" Uncle Emmett asked. For some reason he was the one I was least mad at. You just couldn't stay made at Emmett.

"No I want to run. But thanks." I said giving him a weak smile. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door. As soon as I hit grass I was off. We lived a few miles outside town and about 7 miles from school. I was there by 7:50. That was only because I wasn't running at my fastest. When I got to the parking lot I saw Jacob's car. He had had to trade in his rabbit last year. And my grandparents had given him a black Chevrolet Silverado truck. He was leaning up against it and he looked miserable. He was acting like he was paying attention to what Jason Keys and Brody Thomas were saying but I could tell he was toning them out. Jason and Brody were in our grade. They were cute I guess. They both had blond hair and a buzz cut. Brody's hair was a dark blond and he had light brown eyes. Jason's was as blond as could be. And he had sky blue eyes. They were both tall but no where near as tall as Jake. I would say around 5'11. I tried to sneak by them but Jason spotted me.

"Oh hey Ness." Jacob's head snapped up and looked straight at me. Sadness filled his eyes once again. I felt a little pain shoot through my heart.

"Why didn't you ride with Jake today?" Brody asked. I broke my lock on Jacob and looked over at Brody and Jason.

"I just didn't."

"Oh no. Trouble in love land?" Brody said. Everyone at school thought Jacob and I were dating. We always denied it but no one believed us.

"We are not together. So no there isn't trouble in love land." I said. Brody and Jason both rolled there eyes.

"Ness." Jacob said. I glanced at him.

"I have to go. The counselor wanted to see me." I said walking away.

I avoided Jacob as much as possible but that wasn't the easiest thing to do when we had a lot of the same classes and lunch together. I knew that if I let him talk he would say the right thing like he always did and I would forgive him. I hated the pull he had over me. I hated how I felt like if I said something wrong I was breaking his heart. I had felt like that for a while. Only now did I know why. The magic from imprinting was the culprit. And it sucked. After school I went straight home. All the women in my family were sitting in the family room. The TV was on but they werent really paying attention to it. They were all talking. They looked up at me as I walked in. I walked over to them and sat down next to my mom.

"How are you doing?" She asked putting her arm around me.

"A little better. I'm sorry for the way I acted toward you all. I know you didnt do it to hurt me."

"We forgive you." Alice said smiling.

"Have you talked to Jacob?" Grandma asked.

"No." After a few minutes I spoke again. "I will. I just need time."

"Good. Maybe you will take enough time and Jacob will just leave."

"Rosalie!" Grandma, Alice, and mom said at the same time.

"Your not making this any better Rose. You just making me more mad at you." I said standing up. I knew it hurt her if I was mad at her. But right now I didnt really care.

"Ness, Stay down here with us. We were talking about taking a shopping trip this weekend." Alice said. Her eyes lite up when she said shopping. As they always did.

'That sound fun. But I have a lot of homework tonight." I walked out of the family room and up the stairs. I changed and then sat down on my bed. We had three full pages of math problems to do. Which translated into 140 problems. I had them done in less then an hour. Math was probably the easiest subject for me. Not that the others were to much of a challenge. I stayed in my room reading. But before I knew it I felt myself drifting into sleep. I woke up a few hours later to an empty stomach. I was starving. I got up and started to walk out of my room when something caught my ear. Or rather someone. I walked across the room and looked out the window. I saw Jacob and my mom sitting on the porch talking. He had his head in his hands. I knew it wasnt good to eves-drop but I wanted to know what he said when he thought I wasnt listening.

"I'm just afraid I lost her Bells. I mean she has never gone this long with out talking to me. She didnt say one word to me at school. What should I do?"

"Just give her space Jake. She will come around. I know it."

"Yeah. Well I better go. I will see you later."

"Alright." Mom said and stood up. Jacob gave her a hug and then walked to his car got in and drove off. My mom turned and walked inside. I felt horrible. I didnt need to see his face to know how much he was hurting. I wasnt even hungry anymore. But I knew I needed to eat. I now could go a week without blood but it was difficult. So I hunted every few days. I was greatful I had hunted yesterday. I drained. Emotionly. I walked back across my bedroom and out the door.

When I came downstairs all the guy's were back except for grandpa. Working I assummed. Dad and Aunt Alice were in a heated battle of chess. Their games could go on forever. Seeing as they both knew each other moves before hand. Mom was watching them. Jasper and Emmett were playing some video game on the PS3. And Rose and Grandma were descussing something at the dining room table. I went and sat down next to Jasper and Emmett. They were playing some zombie game.

"Who's winning?" I asked.

"Who do you think?" Emmett asked.

"Uncle Jazz." I said with a smile.

"You would be correct Ness." Jazz said.

"Really?" I said suprised. Emmett had become a pro at any new game we got just so he could beat everyone else.

"Yep. I can't believe it." Jazz said.

"Your not the only one." Emmett said clearly irrated.

"Ness, are you hungry?" Grandma asked. I looked over at her.

"Yeah I am actually."

"What would you like tonight?" I thought about this throughly. Dad and Grandma were the best cooks in the house. Everything they made was delious.

"Chicken and rice." I finally said.

"Alright I will get started."

"Thanks grandma."

"Anything for you sweetie." She said winking at me. I turned my attention back to the video game.

"You got winner Ness?" Jasper asked.

"Sure." I said. About an hour later or so dinner was done. It was delisious.

"Thanks Grandma. I love your cooking." I said setting my plate in the sink.

"I'm glad..... You know with Jacob not being here there is going to be a lot left over." She said. I felt a small pain sting my heart again. This time just at the mention of his name. I guess it wasnt as small as I thought because Uncle Jazz looked at me.

"You okay Ness?"

"What? Oh yeah. I dont know what that was...... Um you know what you can just put the leftovers in the refrigerater. I will tell Jake to come by and get them tomorrow." Everyone looked up at me. Surprised at what I had said. I didnt say anything else. A few hours later and after beating Jasper and Emmett in there zombie game I went to bed. But not before Emmett wanted to play on last round.

"Come on Ness, One more round and this time I am not going to go easy on you." I rolled my eyes. But before I could answer mom did for me.

"Emmett she has school tomorrow. She needs to get to bed." Emmett looked truely dissapionted.

"Tomorrow. It's on." I said this made him smile. I went into my room but knew I wouldnt be able to get to sleep. So I grabbed my laptop and sat down on the bed. I looked to see if Jacob was on but he wasnt. I was dissapointed. But at the same time I knew when I did talk to him it needed to be face to face. I needed to forgive Jake. And I had. I would tell him tomorrow.

Well I hope you liked it. Let me know what you think.
