Another turning point;a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test and don't ask why.
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
-Green Day, Time Of Your Life
I apologize for my mistakes on posting the same chapter twice, I just deleted my Quizilla & I'm not really used to FanFiction & how things work, I'm surprised I even got the first one up. But please be patient with me, or try to. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter & the more to come. [Please Review, I can take your criticizing, just don't be too harsh.]
Thk you. (:
"Happy Birthday." he whispered in my ear.
"Thanks....I thought you'd never come." I said. Someone (probably my dad) cleared their throat and Jacob put me back down. "Oh my gosh, Jacob. You're wearing clothes!" everyone laughed at my comment. I didn't realize I said it so loud, cause the music was playing. (Regular music. Thank God. My dad wanted to put some Claire de Lune. But the current song playing was Bad Romance by Lady Gaga.)
"Yeah. I kinda bought some." he said.
"You didn't have to. Today's not that special." I told him with a smile. I looked at his shirt but got distracted by his muscles and his huge biceps and the way the shirt went perfectly with his abs.
"Nessie!" he shouted. Wait, was he talking?
"Yeah." I snapped out of it, and I started to blush.
"So can you?" he asked.
"Can I what?" I was confused.
"Come take a walk with me." he said.
"Of course." I responded. I walked towards the back of my backyard where all the trees were. But before Jacob started walking with me, he shared a weird glance with my father and the other members of the wolf pack. I shook it off once again. I must be going crazy. We walked up to the middle of the forest. "What did you wanna talk about Jakey?" I smile.
"Um..." he took a really deep breath and he was shaking a bit.
"What is it? Whats wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"Remember when I told you about imprinting when you were younger?" he asked me, looking my dead in the eye.
"Yeah...when a wolf looks at someone and has an immediate connection with them and they're destined to be soul mates or something, right?"
"Yeah." he nodded.
"What about it Jake?" we were silent for about 10 minutes (well at least that's what it felt like), all you could hear is the thumping of the music playing in my backyard.
"You know I love you ,right?" he asked, still shaking.
"Yeah, I love you too." I smiled. More than you know. I added in my thoughts.
"Well, Renesmee..." wait, Renesmee? He never called me that unless it was something serious.
"Jake...what's this about?" I cut him off.
"I imprinted on you." he blurted out.
"What?" I asked shocked, were my ears hearing correctly?
"I've loved you since the first day I saw you -" I cut him off.
"That's sick Jacob!" I shouted at him.
"No, its not like that!" he shouted back as I speed walked my way back to the backyard. "Ness, wait!" I got to the backyard faster than expected. All the vampires and werewolves were looking at us, mostly me.
Eavesdroppers. I thought. Did they know about this? Was everyone in on it but me? Is that what those weird glances were, every time I wanted to go somewhere with Jacob? So many questions went through my mind. You guys knew, all along? I asked my father. He nodded his head, apologetically.
A single tear dropped from my eye, and fell to the ground. I was angry, sad, happy and confused. Couldn't I be normal just for one day? That's all I asked for, just one day – one day! Just being normal. But that couldn't happen for me could it. I was born into this life without a choice.
"Ness...if you would just let me explain. Its not the way it sounds." Jake pleaded behind "What's wrong Nessie?" Charlie asked me, worriedly. Wow. Humans are very observant. I looked around at everyone.
"Nothing's wrong. I just need to be alone for a bit, kay' Grandpa?" I told him with a small smile.
"Seventeen year old problems already?" he asked.
"Yeah...I'm sorry I'll come back out later, I just need me time for a little while." I said.
"Alright." he kissed my forehead and walked back to Sue. I walked passed my family's worried faces and went straight out the front door of the main house and continued to walk to the cottage. I walked over the small bridge my father had built for me over the river, I told him I was capable of jumping over the river myself but today I was actually glad that he built it. Once I got to the cottage, I went straight to my room, and laid on my bed crying.
Jacob, couldn't have imprinted on me. That's impossible – or is it?
I didn't understand why I was so angry or sad. At some point or another I drifted off into sleep.
