Chapter Four

Jacob's POV

I had gotten within ten feet of the cottage, I had to warn Renesmee of the move her family did not want her to know about until I realized I didn't have clothes with me. I knew that she kept a pair of clothes just in case this situation ever came up, more like stole them from my house.

"You never know, there is a bridge around here that could harbor trolls." Nessie said.

"Trolls?!" I asked.

"What? We have vampire, werewolves, not to mention newborns and the entire Volturi came to kill us. What's a troll or two?" Nessie explained.

I laughed thinking to myself as I saw my house come into view, I had decided it would be best to go home. I needed to think about this, I said I would stay away so I was going to try. The news that Nessie would be moving in a few weeks made this whole plan a tad bit easier. I would stay away until she was gone after that I would never see her again unless I followed. Can we really stay away from our soul mates?

The word hit me like a ton of bricks, soul mate, that is what she was everyone knew that despite their misgivings. I had to control myself a little better so I could pull myself together, my mind had been racing with different emotions. Once I phased back human, I quickly maneuvered my way to my bedroom window towards the back of the house. I always left it unlocked for such occasions and Nessie snuck here sometimes. I climbed inside throwing on random clothes before sitting on my bed.

"Jacob?" I heard a knock at the door.

"What Rachel." I sighed as the door opened.

"Paul told me, you know this will not work but I am not going to lecture you. I kind of find it admirable." Rachel said stepping into the room sitting beside me.

"Admirable?" I asked looking at her.

"Yes, I know what you are trying to do, everyone around the pack know the risks associated when it comes to being with you. And what you don't realize is us women, we are our own pack too we know we have to stick together even if one of us is barely a teenager. We all made the decision to stick with you guys because we know that you love us. For example, Jake, if anyone ever harmed Renesmee what would you do?"

"Do I need to answer that?" I asked, I could feel the rage building as I pushed it down, this was only furthering my point.

"You just proved my point little brother. Don't you think she deserves a choice in this?" Rachel asked.

"Then I lose and she is directly in my path." I said resting my head in my hands.

"But you lose anyway along with the rest of us that have to watch you suffer. You should go talk to her and let her say how she feels. Even though knowing my girl she already told you, I am surprised you are in such good condition. She didn't throw something at you?" Rachel laughed.

"Shut up. Wait that's it, you have to go talk to her. Just to see how she is, please Rach? You are one of her best friends she could probably use you right now." I pled.

"I will tomorrow, she probably wants to be alone for right now I do not want to be in her war path. Hopefully she realizes that you do really love her, sometimes it just hurts. Goodnight Jake." Rachel said before walking towards the door.

"Hey Rachel?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"They are moving soon if I stay away from her until they move then…." I began feeling the lump in my throat.

"You will feel worse than you ever did over Bella because Nessie is YOUR soul mate. Then we will have to deal with you unless you plan on going wolf for a while again." Rachel finished.

I only looked at her before flopping back in my bed.

"Oh I get it now but whatever." She said walking out.

This would be easier than expected I would just away from Nessie and let her move away from here. I felt my eyes becoming heavy but I could not fall asleep, not while she invaded my mind.

Nessie's POV

I sighed as I stared to the ceiling, I wanted to cry but Uncle Jasper was in the living room with the rest of my family. I desperately tried to push through the blockers but it was no use I just didn't have the mental energy at the moment to pull it off. I rolled over feeling the warm leather of my bracelet touch my cheek, I looked down feeling a strength grow inside of me.

Oh yes hell I do!

I tried to think as little as possible as I climbed from my bed tip toeing to my window, making sure the perimeter between myself and the forest had been clear. I ran to the closet grabbing an old pair of jeans, tank top and a jacket throwing them on with my tennis shoes, Aunt Alice would pee her pants if she could. I zipped my jacket tucking my hair into the black hood.

I always left my windows unlocked for Jacob, he would usually stay here with me at night. The memory of him began to burn again until the calmness crept back in, I rolled my eyes. I wanted to be completely furious but couldn't at the present moment as I opened the window crawling out. The distance between myself and the ground had been higher than I had thought, no wonder Jake sometimes had a tough time. I laughed to myself remembering how I sometimes had to pull him inside the room as I dropped to the ground.

I stood from my position and turned to run, that was when I ran directly into what felt like a brick wall that knocked me back to the ground.

"For the love of chocolate! What the hell!" I hissed glancing from under my hood seeing the figure I had slammed into to.

"Ow." Uncle Emmett whispered reaching to help me up.

I sighed in defeat as I reach taking my Uncle's hand, "Beautiful daddy has already sent the muscle to make sure the inmate didn't break out of the asylum!"

"They believe you are going to run away." Uncle Emmett explained.

"Run away? Not at the moment I mean look at me, your wife and sister taught me better than this. I would have to take at least three pairs of shoes instead of these." I said pointing to my shoes.

"Three? Apparently not, come on I'll help you back in the window." Uncle Emmett said.

"No! Please? I'm begging here, begging! I do not beg, until now I just need to get away from here Uncle Emmett. I feel nothing, I can't even cry over being dumped because someone is always controlling something about me. Would you stay away from Aunt Rosalie if she walked away from you even if it was for 'safety' reasons? And what do all of you people think I am anyway a porcelain doll!" I pled.

"Ness." Uncle Emmett sighed.

"Please? I don't have very long to get away, dad will be in both of our heads if he isn't already wondering why the prisoner is still outside. Please." I explained.

Part of me began to feel defeated again until I felt that strength again and tried to step around him as he grabbed my jacket stopping me.

"If you are not back here by dawn I will be coming for you and it will not be pretty. He broke your heart and I want to kick his ass, maybe not kill him but kick his ass." Uncle Emmett whispered.

I looked up at him as he released my jacket grinned, "a life sentence in prison for you would not be good." I whispered throwing my arms around him. "Thank you!"

"Just go! They will be out here soon!" he whispered.

I nodded releasing Uncle Emmett as I darted towards La Push, the pack would be on it's nightly run and I would have to be careful. While they knew my scent I was still another blood sucker to them but since Jacob walked away would I be killed on sight?

Didn't I say I wouldn't do this crap? Yes I did and I also said I wanted a red cape, I guess Little Red Riding Hood and myself were getting a little more evenly scored because now I was running towards the wolf.

Except my grandma happened to be a bloodsucker that could kick the wolf's ass.

Two me, Little Red Riding Hood One.

I laughed shaking my head as I ran faster towards Jacob's house, I would not let him have the last word and while I would not allow myself to stoop to the Romeo & Juliet level. I wanted him, I wanted my tall, dark, handsome, motorcycle riding, wolf phasing, sarcastic man.

I was so close to the Black home I could see it, until I saw Leah step between myself and what I wanted.
