After All These Years

Renesmee P.O.V- years from Breaking Dawn

"JACOB!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was starving and I needed Jacob so we can hunt. We do everything together. It was 12:00 in the afternoon and the clouds were grey as usual in Forks, Washington. I knew he was out there somewhere. My

Grandparents mansion was empty and I was the only one home. Aunt Alice took Mom to Port Angles to shop. My Mom Bella hates anything that has to do with shopping, but she went just to make my hyper, pixie like aunt happy. No one can say no to Aunt Alice. My

Dad Edward was with Uncle Jasper looking for a new sports car, and of course Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett were on their millionth honeymoon. Not even my grandparents, Carlisle and Esme were home. They must be food shopping. I'm not the only one in this

house who eats human food. Lets just say the wolf pack has a huge appetite. I could have gone along with any of them (Maybe not on the honeymoon) but I couldn't stay away from Jake for the whole day. That would be torture. Mom and dad weren't to thrilled

about me being home alone at first. But they knew Jacob would be here soon so I was off the hook. I didn't feel like reading or playing the piano. I was tired of reading Withering Heights (I don't get why Mom loves it so much), or any of the books in the house. I

wasn't exactly in the mood to play the piano either. I was waiting outside the front steps, pacing back and forth. I couldn't take the boredom and loneliness. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket but I didn't answer. It must be mom or dad checking on me for the

hundredth time. I'm an 8-year-old half-bred vampire with a body of a 16-year-old teenager. They have nothing to worry about. I decided to put the phone on silent mode. I needed Jake. Two minutes passed and I was about to let out another scream, but before I

can, I see him emerging out of the edge of forest and running through the clearing to where I was. My hearts starts beating faster and I can't help but smile… I don't know why Jacob Black had that affect on me… he stops in front of me and gives my favorite smile

that brightens up this dull grey day. "I'm guessing someone's hungry?" Jacob says. I smiled and I ran off into the thick forest knowing that he is trailing behind me. Within seconds he is running right besides me in his wolf form. He had a goofy grin with his tongue

lolling out. I had laugh at the sight.

Jacob and I are best friends... no, he was more than that. I can't even describe it. He's been with me since the day I was born. His laughter, smile, and his heart is what keeps me happy… its what keeps me sane. With Jake, I can just be me. I can let loose and be

free with him. He is a huge part of my never-ending life. Lately I've been having weird feelings about him… I've been thinking of us as more than just friends… the thought came in my head when Mom was talking to me a couple of nights ago. She told me how she

met Dad and how she fell in love with him. It made me wonder who my soul mate was and when I'd meet him. But then I thought of Jacob… His warm dark brown eyes, his beautiful russet colored skin, his perfect smile, his beautiful long black hair that he grew out

even though it was inconvenient for him (he knows how much I love it), his chiseled body, and most of all, I thought about how loving, sweet, and care free he was… he was perfect. What more could anyone ask for? Since then, the thought has been nagging me

from the back of my mind. Each day and night, the feeling was growing stronger and stronger and I couldn't stop it. Jacob was my best friend and I did love him. But I never thought about loving him like that… and what if he didn't love me back? I didn't even want

to think about it… all I know is that my entire world would come crumbling down and I wouldn't be able to handle the pain... It was unimaginable. So I'm trying to forget about it. Why take the risk? I haven't mentioned a word to Jake. I tried forgetting about it

when I'm around him. I've been doing my best to hide my thoughts from Dad (years of practice). It's working, but I can tell he knows that there's something going on. I don't know how long I can hide this. I try not to think about it, but just say the thought comes

up, I start singing the national anthem in my head. He gives me a funny look, and I know he wants to question me, but I try changing the subject quickly and he doesn't bother me. That's one of the things I love about Dad. He knows how to give me my space. But

of course, the thoughts comeback at night and keep me from sleeping. I've been doing very well but I feel like Mom knows something about this. Sometimes its like she sees right through me and knows all my thoughts. Than again, she is mom. And I tell her

everything. She told me that in her human days she was like an open book that everyone could figure out, especially Grandma René in Florida (except Dad, which is pretty ironic). Its kind of like I'm an open book too… but only to her. She always knows when I have

a problem and I never hesitate to tell her. But this time I have no choice, and I know she's really worried. My mom is pretty much a worrywart, but she never worries about herself. This is the first time I kept something from her. I really do want to tell her, but

what's the point of saying anything about it if I'm not going to do anything about? I don't even know how Dad would react… he is so over protective sometimes. I love them both so much and tell them everything, but this is something I need to keep to myself and

deal with it on my own…

We ended are lunch with deer and ran freely through the forest like we do everyday. The wind and speed was exhilarating. I felt free. Jacob was running at my pace and I can tell he was enjoying it too. We passed my peaceful cottage home and the beautiful

bubbling creek. I stopped at a small clearing and Jake halts abruptly with me. Then he runs off again. I knew he left just to get back to human form. Good thing he had his shorts strapped around his leg… and if he didn't… The thought of it made me blush. He came

back and settled on the grass of the forest floor. We were quiet for couple of minutes… it felt like an eternity. Jake had a slightly troubled expression on his face and I knew something was up. It looked like indecision to me. The silence was starting to get

uncomfortable. "What do you want to do?" I asked, circling him slowly while he was sitting cross-legged. The sound of my voice seemed to get him out of his little trance and he gave me a small smile. Even though he was smiling, I sensed some worrying in his

eyes. "Anything you want Nessie." He said. "That helps," I muttered with sarcasm. There were a couple of more minutes of silence and me circling Jacob until he gently grabbed my wrist and brings me to a stop. "Actually Ness… there is something I want to talk

about with you." Now, there was a mixture of emotions on Jacob's face: worry and determination. This must be serious. I plopped down in front of him and asked, "What's wrong Jake?" Jake took my hands and starts playing with my fingers. "I think its time to

talk… about us…" As he says this, he doesn't look up, he seems concentrated on my fingers. I was silent. He was waiting for a response, and when I didn't give him one, he gave a small peek to see my expression, and went back to concentrating on my hands.

Jacob is never this shy. "What about us?" I asked slowly. Oh no… he definitely knows… Is he going to confront me and tell me that I can't think of him as more than a friend? Or that we can't see each other anymore? Or maybe he will let me down sweetly, but it still

doesn't make things better. Did I make it so obvious about how I felt about him? and I thought I was doing great! What am I going to do? A billion questions were running through my head. Jacob takes a deep breath and finally looks up, "Ness, I've imprinted"… this

took a totally different turn.
