Hey, guys!

Here's chapter 2. I'm hoping it's better than chapter 1 which i wrote many months ago. Please, please, please give me a review? I really don't know if I will keep uploading if I don't get at least one review. Please?

I woke up in a daze with a pounding head from crying. I looked around me and it all came screaming back, last night and the fight. I groaned. There was a noise coming from the other side of my door, the noise that had woken me up. It took me a few moments to work out that it was music. It was familiar music too. Oh it's the song Jacob and I danced to at prom, 4 real by Avril Lavigne, I remember as we were dancing Jacob had dubbed it 'our song' or some romantic shit like that, it was really cute anyway.

Reluctantly I swung my legs out of bed and got up to tell him shut it because I couldn't sleep with all noise. Angrily I pushed the door open. Because I wasn't expecting Jacob to be standing there I nearly had a heart attack. He was standing there sporting my favourite goofy grin holding one single long-stemmed red rose out to me. In his other hand was a small battery powered iPod dock the source of the music. It was funny I opened the door to yell at him but the way he was looking at me made me forget my own name. I swallowed. "Do you do that just to irritate me?" I asked

"Do what? I thought this was romantic." He looked upset he obviously didn't understand I was joking. "You make it so hard to be mad at you. I was just about ready to come out and bite your head off and you-you smile at me like that and I practically forget my own name." I laughed. He took my hand in his.

"But I haven't even said sorry yet." He almost whined

"Then say it now." I said taking the rose and smelling it. He pulled my free hand to his chest where his heart is. He always did that when he wanted my full attention. "Renesmee I am so, so, so, sorry. I cannot believe my actions, on your birthday too. It's just unforgivable, can you forgive me?" He asked me. I burst out laughing I couldn't help it. "What?" He asked his feelings hurt.

"Nothing, it's just you said what you did was unforgivable then you asked me if I could forgive you." I started laughing again this time he laughed as well. "You haven't answered my question yet," He said. "Of course I will forgive you silly." I said wrapping my arms around his neck standing on my tip-toes I craned my neck to kiss him.

Edward walked into the hallway mid kiss. Jacob had his arms around me lifting me up close to his chest my feet weren't on the floor anymore. Edward cleared his throat to attract out attention and reluctantly Jacob put my down. "Hey daddy," I said cheerfully.

"You're not mad at me anymore?" He asked a little flash of confusion swept across his features. I guessed Bella was shielding me. "No, I know you only do it to protect me," I said wrapping my arms around his waist. I looked up at him to smile innocently. He laughed "I should've known."

"What?" Asked Jacob a little annoyed about being left out of the hug but because I was hugging Edward I knew he wouldn't dare to come any closer than he already was. "Esme is making you guys a big breakfast to try and make things better. You know she can't stand all of this negativity." Edward said carefully peeling my arms off of him and turning around "come on she's waiting."

I took Jacob's hand and we followed him down into the kitchen. Esme, Bella and Carlisle were all there. Esme and Bella were talking while Esme stood over the stove cooking a delicious looking omelette. Carlisle was looking through the fridge humming something familiar. "Hey baby," said Bella "we've got a surprise for you." She pushed a white steaming mug towards me. The smell hit me before I even realised what it was, it was an amazing intoxicating smell that I hadn't smelt in a long time. They barely ever let me have this without actually going hunting, something that lately as my human side has been pretty dominant I haven't been up to. My favourite food in the world, blood. My face lit up as I lifted the cup to my lips. I swallowed letting the warm thick liquid glide down my throat. I was in my own world nothing else mattered except for the blood.

I tore my eyes open. Wait when did I shut them? I looked around nobody was really paying attention to me. Good. "Ew, Renesmee how can you drink that it smells horrible," said Jacob between bites of his omelette. I evilly and waved the cup rite under his nose. "Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. Get it away!" He yelled pushing my arm away. "It's not that bad you know Jacob," said Carlisle putting a plate in front of me. "Yum thanks Carlisle," I said.(he didn't like being called a grandpa he said he was too young) I admired the beautiful plate of food he had set in front of me. "Well guys, I've got to go to work now," Carlisle said before kissing Esme sweetly on the cheek. I let my eyes trail after him. What he does was really amazing I don't think I would ever be able to do that. Sometimes even I had trouble with thirst.

With that my throat burned. I quickly took a sip of the crimson liquid in my cup to pacify the burn. We all looked towards the window when we heard loud splashes coming from the pool. "It's Jasper and Emmett," said Edward with a smile "Do you guys want to join them?"

"Sure," I said smiling "I love swimming."

"That's why we have the pool honey," laughed Esme.

I slipped into my favourite purple bikini and examined myself in the mirror. Noticing the tangled mess on top of my head I reached for the hair brush and tried to pull it through the mess. After a few minutes I was successful. I ran down the stairs and out to the pool. Jacob, Emmett and Jasper were all splashing around in the water while Rosalie sat on a day bed soaking up the unusual sunny weather, throwing shards of light over the white pool tiles. I dipped my toes hesitantly into the ice-cold water. I quickly retracted my toes and went to sit by Rose. "Oh come on Nessie it's not that cold!" yelled Emmett.

"I think you're forgetting that I'm half human Emmett!" I yelled back in the same taunting tone. I settled into the daybed next to Rose and watched as Jacob stand in the end of the pool furthest away from us with his long, strong arms spread along the edge of the pool coping.

I got so wrapped up in staring at the amazing boy that somehow I got call mine, that I didn't even notice the two pairs of icy cold stone arms encircling me. Before my mind even had the time to register what was going on I felt the sting of my back slamming against the surface of the water. I let out a scream which quickly turned into a muffled gurgle as my lungs filled with water. I pushed off the blue tiled bottom of the pool to get to the surface quickly. I spat out the water I had swallowed and gasped in as much air as I could. "Are you okay?" asked Jacob. I nodded.

We splashed around for a bit until our ears were filled with the shrill ringing of Jacob's phone. He got out and answered it. After speaking for a few moments his eyes widened. Quickly he got out of the pool. He looked at me once. His deep, dark eyes seemed to be searching my face for something but I wasn't sure what. Then he ran off in the direction of the woods. "Jacob?" I called. He didn't answer he just kept running. I got out of the pool and ran after him.

I could feel lose blades of grass sticking to my wet feet as I ran across the yard to where the forest started. I started to follow Jacob's scent. "Where are you Jake?" I whispered to myself as his scent took me deeper and deeper in to the woods. His scent led me off the trail and zigzagged all over the place, twisting and turning through the trees.

I finally found him sitting at the base of a tall tree on the edge of a clearing. He had his knees drawn up to his chest and his arms were wrapped around his legs. His face was buried in his knees. "Jacob?" he looked up only to shock me to my very core. His eyes were red-rimmed and puffy. His cheeks were stained with his own salty tears. He looked so young, almost child-like. I had only ever once seen him like this before and that was when Billy died. Something bad had happened something very bad.

"Jake, what's wrong? I asked, how calm I sounded surprised me. He didn't answer me. He didn't even look up at me. "Ja-cob?" I said making his name into two syllables. I sat down next to him draping my arm carefully around his shoulders. He looked towards the ground and then back to me. His dark eyes pierced into mine to the point where I swore he could see into my soul. "Sam's dead," he simply said. "He's dead." He pressed his face into the place where my shoulder met my neck and sobbed. I couldn't help but let a few of my own tears escape but I brushed them away before he noticed them. 'Be strong Renesmee, for Jake. He needs you.' I reminded myself and pulled it together. 'He needs you,' I chanted to myself over and over again like some inner mantra.

I wrapped arms more tightly around him and shifted my weight a bit to make myself more comfortable. After a while he moved his head so that he was staring up at me. "You must think I am a cry-baby, I was like this when Billy died. Now I'm doing the same thing with Sam." He said his voice cracked on a few words. I was shocked. Was this what he thought? He thought he was being a cry-baby? "Jacob you listen to me, you are NOT a cry-baby! Sam was like your bother. He was in your pack!" A few tears sprung to my own eyes as the realization that Sam, my very own stand-in- father, was gone. "Nessie, how can you even be with me? You just held your grown boyfriend while he cried! I should be the one holding you! How ca" I cut him off by placing my hand over his mouth.

"Don't ever say that again! I love you Jake and if you need to cry then cry don't hold it in because you're trying to me my "man" or my "protector"!

"I love you so much," he whispered leaning forward to press his lips against mine. I kissed him back loving the feeling his familiar chapped lips against mine. We both pulled away after what felt like hours. "I know you do Jake, I know."

We eventually got up and made our way back to the house. We opened the door to find my father pacing in the foyer. Bella stood leaning against a wall watching him. "Jacob, what happened? What's going on?" My father demanded.

"I think we need to have a family meeting so I don't have to retell the story," Jake whispered. He looked utterly broken so I squeezed his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. "Family meeting!" Bella yelled knowing everyone would hear her. We all made our way to the dining room. Being a house full of vampires except for Jacob, the dining table was really only used for meetings such as ones like this.

We all took our seats. I sat next to Jacob and Esme and across from us was Carlisle and my parents. At the two ends of the table were Rose and Emmett. "Well, Jacob would you care to explain?" asked Carlisle. "Well…" he began as he explained what happened. As it turns out Sam and the new pack member, Joseph, had gotten into a fight and it ended badly. Jacob wasn't sure if it was on purpose or if it was an accident seeing as we all knew that Joseph wanted to be promoted to alpha. He had already gotten the rest of the pack on his side so becoming alpha would be easy with Sam out of the picture. "Jake isn't it against pack law to kill a brother?" asked Jasper.

"Yes it is but the elders are protecting him. I don't know why but they are saying that because he's new we should give him a chance. They all believe it was an accident."

"When's the funeral?" Emmett asked. Jacob shrugged and said,

"Hope all of you and I do mean all of you," he sent a pointed look Rosalie's way, "will come."

"Of course Jake, we wouldn't miss it," Bella said.

"Well I guess you and Jacob would like some food," said Esme as everybody left the room. I nodded. "Can I just have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"

"Me too?" asked Jake.

"Of course," said Esme. She then disappeared into the kitchen.

Jacob slumped in his chair and his stomach growled. "Aw, my poor hungry wolf," I said reaching out the touch his arm. He laughed once and pulled me across into his lap. His laughter was such a good sound, so much better than his heartbreaking sobs from before. "Here you go," Esme said placing two plates in front of us. We ate quickly so that we could join the discussion in the lounge room.

The rest of the day passed quickly. All we really did was lounge around. I hadn't left Jacob's arms the whole time. "Nessie would you sleep in my room tonight, I already asked Edward?" Jacob asked. "Sure Jake but when did you ask him?" I replied.

"Mindreading, remember Ness?" said Edward. "I know he doesn't want to be alone tonight. Remember Jacob we can all hear you and I will know what's going on up there." He threatened tapping his temple. Jacob nodded.

"You ready for bed?" I yawned a few hours later.

"Yep," he said popping the 'P'. We did the rounds saying goodnight to everyone, well I said the rounds Jacob just followed me. He seemed sort of out of it but I guess he had good reason to be out of it. We pulled ourselves up the stairs. I felt so drained from holding my feelings about Sam in. I know I shouldn't but I felt like Jacob really needed me to be strong. After showering I crawled into bed next to Jacob. He tucked his coffee coloured sheets around me and kissed my forehead goodnight. I rested my head on his warm chest and tried to drift off to sleep.
