Renesmees P.O.V.
We held hands as we walked back to my house. This kind of thing was normal between me and Jake. We stopped when we reached the porch and turned to look at each other. I hadn't realized how close we were standing until I could feel Jacobs breathe on my face.
"I have to go, it's my turn to patrol tonight" He said
"Will I see you tomorrow?" I said shyly
"Of course you will, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't see you on your birthday?"
I had forgotten it was my birthday tomorrow.
"Promise?" Even though I knew I would see Jake tomorrow I needed to hear him say it so I would feel he wasn't mad at me.
"I promise" he said
"After all…… how could stay away from the girl that I love" he said as he stroked my cheek with his thumb before he took off into the woods
"Bye my Jacob"
I watched him until he was out of sight. I still felt bad about what happened between us but what could I do? I had to fall in love with him on my own, not because it was written in the stars for us to be together. I felt like the world had been put on my shoulders. 'I'm so selfish' I thought to myself. It was true. It wasn't fair for me to keep Jacob around when all I did was hurt him all the time. As I walked in the house I could feel the six set of eyes that now surrounded me.
"Hi honey" Said my mom. She was one who could always make me feel better, besides Jake.
"How was your run with Jacob?" She asked when she clearly already knew the answer
"Fine" I said trying to hide the pain in my voice, which might have not been apparent to everyone in the room if they had been human.
Jasper could sense my emotion and immediately tried to calm me. I always knew when he was using his 'gift' on me. I just turned to him and mouthed 'thanks' and he nodded and smiled.
When I looked at my parents who were hand in hand on the couch Edward looked at me as if he already knew what happened, which he did.
"Would you like to talk about it?" He said
"I'd rather not Edward" I said barely smiling. I had always called him Edward instead of dad. I don't know why but it just seemed simpler.
"Very well" he said before he turned to my mother raising her hand which was held in his and kissed it
"She'll come around" She said, as if I couldn't hear them
I hopped on the kitchen counter and buried my face in my hands trying to clear my head.
Emmet walked by me, mussing my hair on his way and saying "Hey kiddo", Rose not too far behind him
"Hey Em" I said through my fingers, still attached to my face. Rosalie patted my back as she followed him into the living room. I just smiled and jumped down from the counter, hoping to get to my room before Alice got a hold of me.
"Wait a sec Nessie" 'ughh' too late.
I didn't need to be Edward to know exactly what she wanted, which was to use me as a life-sized Barbie and pick out clothes for the party. I actually enjoyed things like that with Alice, a trait I did not inherit from my mother but I was just not in the mood for clothes.
"You know the drill, upstairs" she said as she pushed me towards the stairs
