Back from New York! I only got one review and it was from a... guest... I won't say anything about it, just to show I'm not "cocky" -_-. SO, enjoy!


Renesmee played with the red rose Alice took out of her hair, all Renesmee could think about was Jacob though. Alice tried to make conversation, but whatever she said, it couldn't be brought into anything more that a typical "yes", "no" or "mhm". Finally she gave up.

"What were you doing with that Quileute?" Alice said. She knew she saw what she saw, but hoped that Jacob probably tried to take advantage of her helplessly, especially challenged in the arms of Nahuel.

"Alice... this may be a little crazy... but I think I'm in love with him." She was taken aback for a minute, then chortled.

"Renesmee, have you even spoken to him?" Renesmee shrugged.

"Nahuel said he fell in love with me and he didn't speak a single word... Jacob has spoken far more often than he has." Alice sighed, thinking her head was in fairy tales.

"Whatever, Renesmee. It doesn't matter. You will marry Nahuel, and all will be forgotten." Renesmee looked at the rose and sighed.

"Yes... All forgotten..." All but my Jacob... She thought in a daze.

When Alice was done with her hair, she was called by Bella to help take off her cat costume, and she left. Renesmee stepped outside to her balcony.

She stepped outside to think. To dream. About Jacob. She sighed as she rested her forearms on the railing and her head in one hand.

"Jacob..." Forever the name on my lips. She thought. "Ah me... It's not my fault I'm a Cullen and he's a Quileute. And the son of the chief?" She sighed again and paced in the little space she had. "What is Quileute and Cullen? It's not a hand, or a face, or an eye, or a heart... it's nothing, or at least any human part. It's just a name... We can't be enimies forever, especially after I've fallen in love with him..."

"No, we can't." Startled Renesmee jumped a little but covered her mouth from screaming as Jacob, the one who spoke, looked at her from below.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you..." He bit his lip. When she caught her breath, she spoke.

"How'd you get in here?!" Renesmee whispered. "The walls are a fortress."

"Renesmee, my love, walls can hide you, but they can't keep our love apart." Renesmee rolled her eyes in his cheeziness and he laughed, a little embarassed at being so blunt. Then she became serious.

"Jacob, you'll be killed if you're found here." Jacob stepped closer.

"Do you want me to go?" Renesmee shook her head.

"No... Don't ever leave me." Jacob smiled.

"Then I'll stay." She smiled and kneeled, bars and a long drop down keeping them apart. He held out his hand and she took it, being the only way they could touch. She sighed.

"We can't be together, Jacob. I want to, I really do, but we can't. I'm a Cullen, you're a Quileute, a Black." Jacob shook his head.

"It doesn't mean anything. I hate it as much as you do, I'd rewrite it if I could... But love is love, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure we're together. Our love is more powerful and real than our family's hate, I'm sure." Renesmee took her hand back and sat more comfortably, closing her eyes.

"Do you really love me, Jacob?" She opened her eyes to look at him.

"Always. From the moment I saw you, when our hands touched and our eyes met... to forever." She smiled and leaned closer, wrapping her hand around one of the bars.

"Then, I am willing to no longer be a Cullen, if you really do love me." He smiled and she blushed.

"Renesmee?" Alice called from inside. Renesmee looked up and sighed, standing up.

"Is she always like this?" Renesmee laughed.

"Kind of, yeah." Jacob stayed where he was, not wanting to leave despite her calling.

"Can I meet her? I'm positive she'll like me." Renesmee shook her head.

"I know she will, but she may tell my mom, or worse, my dad will see you or something. I don't want you dying, Jacob." Jacob shook his head.

"I won't die, I'm practically immortal." Renesmee giggled.

"Tell him that when he shoots you." Jacob nodded.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

"Renesmee?!" Alice called again. She sighed, looked at Jacob again, at his pleading brown eyes. He's so beautiful... She thought. Then looked away before she could convince herself to ignore Alice again.

"I better go... Goodnight." Renesmee turned away and Jacob stayed where he was. Gathering courage, he finally spoke.

"Wait, Renesmee!" He climbed up the tree across from the balcony as she came back.

"Yes Jacob?"

Jacob was then on the balcony, he took a deep breath, took her hand, and got down on one knee.

"I know we've only met tonight, but I already know I'll never meet anyone like you. I love you, please marry me." Renesmee covered her mouth in surprise and tried to slow her beating heart.

"Yes! A million times yes!" She tried not to scream and she lowered to him and he leaned to kiss her again, feeling the same way they did in the garden before. Though this was a little more brief. They wanted to feel this way forever. But reality again stepped in, hearing Alice's voice, this time angry.

"RENESMEE?!" They pulled away, and got up, but stayed hand in hand.

"My father would never allow you to marry me." She said, saddened. He took her chin to look up at him.

"The reverend is a friend of mine. I'll talk to him tomorrow." She raised an eyebrow.

"You mean... we're going to elope?" He sighed.

"It's the only chance we've got at being together." She nodded, understanding. If they married as soon as possible, no one could tear them apart, not even their parents.

"I'll send Alice to meet with you at the library, ten o'clock tomorrow. Give her the news from the reverend and I'll marry you." He smiled.

"As soon as possible." They kissed again, Jacob leaning closer and pulling her toward him, but she pulled away, knowing Alice was going to see them if he doesn't leave.

"I have to go, goodnight, my Jacob..." He softly kissed her one more time.

"Goodnight, my Nessie." She smiled at the new nick name, not bothering to question it, and the two separated, her to her bedroom and him down balcony, and up the wall and into the woods to take a long walk home.


What will Reverend say? Will he agree to eloping the star-crossed lovers? REVIEW REVIEW!
