Authors Note: Alright. So I came up with this pretty randomly. So this (as you can probably tell) takes place a ways after Breaking Dawn. Renesme is full grown, and her and Jacob are a "thing." Ahem. They are involved in a "romantic relationship." But you can probably figure that out by reading.
So I plan to continue this. Soon, hopefully. Depending on how quickly I can write each chapter. Adding this too your story alerts would probably be a good idea if you'd like to continue reading when the rest of it is released.
Okay, I think I've said enough. Enjoy!
Falling Through: Chapter 1 - At Three In The Morining
"Help! Jake! Please!"
Renesme was being sucked under. He was pulling her. I had to stop him. Save her. My Renesme.
My fists pounded at the surface. But there was no point. It had turned to ice. Cold, hard, unbreakable, ice. She was under.
He had taken her.
I woke up suddenly, sitting upright. My breath was coming in gasps. I was sweating, burning up more than usual. It was just a dream. It was just a damn dream. She was okay. Renesme was okay.
I decided to get up. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to get to sleep after a dream like that. I would have to find another way to pass the time. Time until I see her again. According to the clock that read three A.M. I would see her in approximately eleven hours. That was approximately ten hours and fifty nine minutes too long.
The best way for me to pass time, and enjoy doing so, would have to be eating. It was my favorite pastime. Plus I was good at it. Practically a pro.
There was no food in the refrigerator. That just figures. I should have taken up the offer to sleep at the Cullens house. Hell, I'd slept there so many times before. You think I'd be used to sleeping in a house full of vampires. And to tell you the truth, besides the repulsive stench, I was pretty comfortable there. And they always had food in their refrigerator.
But Nessie wasn't there. She hasn't been for the past week. Her parents—well actually just Edward—insisted that she needed to take a break from me for a while. So they packed up and set out for Isle Esme. Which I think is pretty disgusting, seeing as that's where Nessie was conceived and stuff. Apparently I was the only one who thought so. Only Edward, Bella, and Nessie went. The rest of the clan skipped out on the Isle Esme experience.
Just as I was picking up my keys to go on an expedition to a certain fast food resterant that began with the letter M and also happened to be open twenty four seven to feed hungry half mythical creatures such as myself, my cell phone rang.
I didn't even look at the number. I already knew who it was, "Hey, babe."
"Hey, Jake."
I'm not going to lie. Hearing her voice made butterflies soar in my stomach and my blood pound in my ears. I am aware of how gay the previous sentence sounded. That's how whipped I am for this girl.
"Should I ask why you are calling me at three in the morning?"
"Should I ask why you are answering your phone at three in the morning?" she replied. I could practically hear the grin she was undoubtedly wearing, and it made me grin too.
"But really though. Why aren't you asleep?" I asked, heading outside and locking the front door to Billy's house behind me.
"I couldn't sleep. I'm too excited."
I unlocked the door to the Rabbit. It was still running, my Rabbit was. Shocking too, because I wasn't sure it would hold up all of these years. It did though. And I love it for that. But unfortunately I knew it's day was coming. So I savored the time I had left with my dear car, and treated it to early morning excursions to cheap fast food establishments. What a lucky car it was.
"Excited for what, exactly?" I asked, starting the Rabbit and listening to it purr to life sounding a bit choppy.
"We leave tomorrow."
"Oh so you're excited that you leave tomorrow. I'm not included in your excitement at all?"
"Okay, so maybe I'm a little bit excited that I get to see you tomorrow."
"Only little bit?" I teased. "Because I am completely thrilled that I get to see you tomorrow."
"Can't wait," Nessie whispered softly.
"What's that?" I asked even though I heard what she said perfectly.
"I can't wait. Until I see you. That's why I'm awake. I'm so excited to see you that I can't even blink."
"You can't even blink? That's probably not good. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure you need to blink and stuff." I joked. I was almost off the reserve now, nearing McDonalds.
"It's a figure of speech, Jake." She said with a laugh. "You know, in a way, I'm actually going to miss this island," she told me, her voice taking on a serious tone. "It's really beautiful here. You'll have to come next time, Jake. I want you to see it. You'd love it."
"I better be coming next time! There is no way I'm being left behind like some kind of pet!" I protested.
"You are a pet, Jacob. You're a dog," Nessie teased.
"Correction! I am WOLF! There is a big difference, and you know it. Plus I'm only half wolf!" I replied, pulling into the empty McDonalds parking lot. If it wasn't for the lights being on inside, I would think the place was closed.
"Fine, so you're only half pet. Regardless, you're still mine."
"You got that right, babe. Listen, I've got to go. I'm in a drive through, and I've got to order my BigMac."
"McDonalds? At this hour? Why wasn't I invited?" she asked, pretending to be offended.
"'Cause you're on an Island, Ness. We'll go when you get back. Promise. Now I've really got to go. I love you, Nessie." I told her.
"Don't think I wont be remebering your promise. Love you too," she said, hanging up the phone.
I did end up getting to sleep that night…or morning…whatever. After I had my McDonalds and I realized that unless you are interested in buying tube socks for three easy payments of seven dollars on the home shopping network, there is absolutely nothing on TV. I slept on the couch. Just because I can.
And I woke up to the sound of a wheelchair being rolled across the old wooden floor.
"What time is it?" I asked groggily, still half asleep.
Billy took a moment to answer, "Almost noon. You must have been tired. You should try sleeping more often. It can do you some good, kid. "
Two more hours until I saw her.
I got up. Got dressed. Got in my car. And went to the airport. Their plane got in at approximately two o' seven. And I would be waiting.
I was early, of course. An hour early actually. But that didn't matter. I stood over by the sign that displayed the flight information. I was watching her flight status intently. The screen said that it was on time, but I wasn't sure I believed it. These types of signs lied all the time, and I sure as Hell wasn't going to believe this one.
I did everything I possibly could in order to kill time. I ate. I browsed the shops. I counted the number of screaming toddlers…but two o' seven didn't come soon enough.
But eventually it did come.
And still no sign of them.
I knew it. That damn sign! It freaking lied! I got up from where I was sitting to go look at the flight information sign again, to see where they were. That's when I heard the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Jake!"
I spun around instinctively and there she was. Across the terminal.
I didn't waste any time standing there, I took off running the second she did.
We met in the middle, she leapt into my open arms—just like when she was little and I would catch her. Only this time, I held her closer and tighter than I ever had before. She wrapped her legs around my waste as I buried my head in her curly bronze hair. I kissed her on the lips when she leaned back. Her arms wrapped around my neck, deepening the kiss.
We got carried away, and we might have forgotten that we were in the middle of an airport terminal…in front of her parents.
"Ahem," Edward coughed, bringing us back to reality.
I broke the kiss, and Nessie got off of me. I rested my arm over her shoulder, refusing to allow distance between us.
Authors Note Continued: Yes, so I was hoping on ending on a cliffhanger. And obviously that didn't really work out. It just wasn't working. So this is the ending. I hope it's good enough, for now. Until I get the next chapter uploaded at least. Please review. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!
