July 8th
The wolf that had shouted that day was Seth. He'd been hurt protecting La Push from a vampire. I was supposed to be on rounds with him; protecting him, but instead I was with Renesmee.
Seth was injured badly. Much like the injury I had faced so many years ago in the fight with new born vampires. It wasn't looking good for a while. I should have been there and I blamed Renesmee for taking me away.
July 2nd
I was pissed off. I shouldn't have gone to the Cullen's but I knew both Bella and Renesmee were concerned for who had gotten hurt last night. I was afraid of my anger exploding but I was in control for the most part.
I pulled up the impossibly long drive and climbed off of my bike. I could hear the piano being played perfectly in the house. It was more flourished though so I assumed Nessie wasn't the only one playing.
I came in to find my assumption correct.
Renesmee and Edward were sitting at the grand piano playing together. The song was grand and pleasant. I questioned whether they heard me come in.
Edward laced his arm under hers to play the low keys while she played high for a portion of the song. Nessie giggled joyously and Edward just smiled. They both looked so happy. That made me mad for some reason.
Seth was suffering miserably and they were playing piano? That seemed so wrong.
"I'm sorry to hear about Seth." Edward replied, reading my thoughts, after the song had finished with a flourish.
"Seth?" Nessie squeaked, looking to me with wide eyes.
"Yeah one of your little friends came through and tore him up good." I spat at Edward.
"We're sorry to hear it, Jacob, but you know he wasn't with us. Your pack faced a nomadic vampire. There's nothing we could have done to help." Edward replied, standing up to face me head on.
"Well maybe if you weren't here, they wouldn't come through."
"Are you suggesting we leave Forks? Because when we leave we will take Renesmee with us…not you."
"No. No one is leaving." Renesmee interjected, not moving but still wide-eyed.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."
"Jacob…" It was a whisper…a plea, from Renesmee. My words had devastated her.
"Get out of this house, Jacob Black." Edward shouted at me. He was in my face, too close and pissing me off further. I'd hurt his daughter and he was ready to kill me for that.
"What's going on in here?" Esme asked as she made her way into the room. I'd remembered Renesmee telling me the rest of the Cullen's had gone hunting and Edward and Esme had stayed behind with her. If a fight broke out between Edward and me, I would try my best to leave Esme out of it. She was a reasonably likable person and I didn't want to hurt her.
"Jacob was just leaving." Edward said through his teeth, not looking at her.
"Don't you tell me what I am and am not doing, bloodsucker!" I shouted.
I clearly heard Renesmee's breath catch. She'd told me once she disliked the names I used for her kind. I'd just broken my promise to her and it stung.
"This is my house, Jacob, and if I tell you to leave, I advise you follow my direction." Edward said, his voice lowering in the presence of two ladies but it was still menacing.
"This isn't your house." I shouted.
"No, this is my house," Esme interjected. "And I suggest you leave." She stood between me and Renesmee as if to protect her. That made me even angrier. All I saw was red.
"If it weren't for you fucking Cullen's none of this would have happened! If it weren't for her"- I stabbed a finger at Renesmee- "drawing all these fucking leaches to town, Seth would be perfectly fine right now." I screamed.
I looked around Esme to talk directly at Renesmee. "If you hadn't distracted me I would have been there to help him! I would have been there to protect him. But you wanted to swim! You wanted to have sex…oh wait, no you didn't! You didn't want to have sex with me because you are too much of a goody-two-shoes. Fuck you, Renesmee. I needed to be with Seth but you wanted me to be with you!"
I was taken back by Renesmee's response. I expected her to cower back, to cry and break down. I wanted her to break down. She deserved to feel a little bit of guilt over it all. She'd caused it all.
She shot to her feet and in one second pushed Esme and Edward out of the way and was in my face. I barely had time to survey Edward and Esme's responses.
Nessie's fist connected with my jaw.
It was broken. I knew it. It hurt like hell. I fell backward and gripped at my jaw. Damn that girl had a mean right hook.
"How dare you blame me for this? I am not responsible for you, Jacob. I'm not responsible for any of this! Fuck me? Fuck you! You aren't man enough to realize you fucked up, Jacob. Man up- or wolf up, whatever the hell you want to call it- get over yourself and see the shit that's going on around you." she screamed at me as she followed me to the wall where I braced myself.
My face killed with pain. I hadn't felt pain like that in a very long time. I wanted to yell at her but I wasn't sure if I could talk, my jaw hurt that bad.
I realigned my jaw, popping it back into joint. I stood straighter when I yelled back.
"I am plenty manly-" I didn't get far. She punched me again. I heard Edward chuckle evilly as he watched me wince and cower into myself in pain.
"Shut up, Jacob. Shut the fuck up!. You're not a man; you're a dick."
I couldn't believe it. I was being beet up by a girl- a six year-old! And on top of that, she was screaming profanities at me that rang true. I was blaming her for something that couldn't have been stopped.
I straightened, popping my jaw into place once more. I took a deep breath. She was right but I wasn't about to let her know it.
"You think I'm a dick? If that's the way you feel then tell me this Renesmee Carlie Cullen: Why are you in love with me?" I spat at her. She didn't back down nor did she give up. It turned me on.
"I'm in love with you because someone needs to keep your ass out of trouble. Now go home, run off some steam and get a shower. Come back when you're ready to talk without me having to hit you." she said calmly. The fire in her eyes had cooled off.
"Why do you think-"
"Go, now, Jacob." She pointed to the door and looked me in the eye. I hated doing it- but I complied. I left.
A/N: Not a very nice version of Jacob but don't worry, he was just in a mood.
