Jacob's POV
Nessie has grown a lot. She was born seven and a half years ago, but Carlisle says she is mentally and physically the age of a twenty one or two year old. We have been dating since her last birthday. Edward wasn't happy at first, but Nessie, who goes by Ness now, told him that is what it took for her to be happy. He eventually agreed. I put on my jacket and head to my motor bike. I check to make sure the little box is still secure in my pocket. I put Ness' helmet on the back and speed down the highway. I plan on proposing tonight. We haven't been dating long, but I have known her her whole life, she is my everything and I am hers. I pull up to her house. I park my bike and go to the door. Ness answers.
"Hey, you ready?" I ask her.
"About that, um, we need to talk." She takes in an unsteady breath.
"Ok what about?" I ask. She slips on some flip flops and comes outside, we sit on the porch.
"We have been dating for almost six months now. I have wanted to say something for a while. I really like you." She pauses. "As a brother. We are just too close. I am sorry, it just, it's weird dating you and I would be unhappy in a relationship with you." She says. I say nothing. I have wanted to be with her for her entire life. And she just told me she see's me more as a brother.
"Umm. I get it, I guess. Umm I am just going to go." I say and briskly leave. I hop onto my motor bike. As I start it, I pull the ring box out of my pocket and let it fall to the ground. I speed off Ness calling after me. Why should I go back? She doesn't want to be with me. And that is clear. I speed down the highway until I can't take it anymore. I pull over and park. I pull off my shirt, pants, socks and shoes. I run off into the woods as a wolf. I howl a sad low howl. Soon the others will know, but none of them will know the pain. If I was in my human form I would probably be in tears. The love of my life just ripped my heart out and stomped on it. I don't know if I will ever be happy again.
It has been a week and a half, I am going to talk to Ness. I don't know what she wants to talk about. I won't let her persuade me into dating again, well it hurts not to, it hurts even worse to see her unhappy. I park my bike and go to the door.
"Jacob! You actually came." She says when she answers the door.
"Yes I did, what did you want to talk about?" I ask.
"Well I just, you didn't really give me a chance to say much else the other day, you just, left."
"Sorry about that, but you hurt me, bad." I tell her the truth.
"I know, and I am soo sorry. But Jake, I, I see you as a brother, that is what you are to me, you have always been."
"So was our entire relationship a lie?" I ask.
"I don't know if lie is the right word. I tried, I thought maybe we could change our relationship. I tried, I really did, it just wasn't happening." She pauses. "You have been waiting for me for seven years, I didn't want our relationship to go any further. You deserve to be happy, with someone who can love you as a husband. And besides I don't think I could give you children. And if I did, they would be pretty messed up." She chuckles, I do too, but then she gets serious again. "You deserve to have those things and I can't give them to you. I still want to be part of you life, just a different part."
"I understand I guess."
"I saw what you left." She says. She hands me the ring box.
"I was going to propose." I admit.
"I kinda figured. You could sell it, get your money back."
"I will figure that out, but right now I need some space. I will see you around." I say and hop on my bike.
I decide to spend the next week or two in northern Canada. It is far enough away, but I can still get home in two to four hours, if I run fast enough. Also, the scenery isn't bad either. I hop on my bike and drive until I get to the parking lot I want to go to. It is a diner's lot. It is strategic, because there is also an inn and there is always someone there, so my bike won't get stolen, and they diner makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. I take off my clothes and stash them in my tree. I always put my clothes there when I am leaving, there is a nice hole in it and I can easily hide my things. I morph into my wolf form, and take off due north.
I return two weeks later. Like always my things are still secure in my tree. I put my clothes on and go into the diner. I sit down and a red headed waitress comes over to me.
"Hi, I'm Ginny and I will be your server today."
