Everyone seemed to forget about my blow up the next day; Aunt Rose and I quietly apologized to each other. Things seemed to be back to normal, that was, until I walked into school and found out that I now had a stalker. Matt would not leave me alone; he followed me everywhere and never shut up. All he would talk about was himself and sports. By Wednesday, I had to have Uncle Emmett walk me to all my classes so Matt would leave me alone. But sadly, that backfired on me when Matt came up and started to talk sports with my uncle. Thursday night my mom, my aunts, Uncle Emmett, Jacob, and I were all sitting in the living room when I decided to complain to them.
"I don't know what I'm going to do about Matt. I've tried to let it go and be nice but he bugs the hell out of me! I can't do anything with out him following me; I swear he almost followed me into the bathroom today." I said hoping one of them had some good advice for me.
"Renesmee, could you please watch your language." My mom said giving me a stern look.
"Jacob says stuff all the time." I complained rolling my eyes.
"Well, I'm not Jacobs mother, and it's disrespectful to use bad language in front of me."
"Fine, I won't say anything in front of you." I mumbled rolling my eyes at Jacob who just laughed. "Back to what I was saying before."
"You said he actually followed you into the girl's bathroom." Jacob said chuckling.
"Yes, he was holding the door for me and all. Then the principal came by and yelled at him." I said trailing off because Jacob and Uncle Emmett had broke out in laughter.
"It's not funny!" I said hitting Jake's arm.
"Well I don't like that he's following you around." my mom said with a worried look. "If he keeps it up your dads going to kill him. Maybe the party's not a good idea."
"Oh come on, Bella, leave the girl have some fun!" Aunt Alice said smiling at me.
"I really don't know Alice. I know Nessie's perfectly capable of handling herself, but I don't want to put her in a situation where she has to." My mom said probably wanting my dad here to back her up. He was with Uncle Jasper picking up a new dining room table, because they had broken the other one last night.
"Jacob and Emmett are going to be there, nothing is going to happen." Aunt Alice said trying to convince her.
"I have an idea." Aunt Rose said, looking up from her magazine. "I think that he needs to deal with Bella, Alice, and me. We can follow Nessie to her classes to keep him away from her. No guy will be able to form complete sentences with all of us together."
"That is the best idea you've ever come up with Rose. I'll be back; I'm going to go see if it will work." Aunt Alice said before running out of the house.
"I can deal with that stupid kid." Uncle Emmett muttered looking like a little kid who didn't get his way.
"Oh quit being a baby. If you could deal with him we wouldn't even be talking about this." Aunt Rose said rolling her eyes at him before turning to my mom. "What do you think Bella?"
"I think it will work." she said before giggling to herself. "I've never actually tried to dazzle a human before, this will be fun."
"Thanks, Aunt Rose." I said going over to hug her.
"Its no problem at all, it might actually be fun." she said laughing. Jacob then burst into a fit of laughter and was rolling on the floor.
"What's so funny?" I asked laughing at him.
"The thought of those three scaring someone." He said, breaking off in another fit of laughter.
"It's not that funny Jacob." My mom said laughing at him with me.
"If you just saw the picture I got in my mind," He said trailing off again. Uncle Emmett then burst into laughter with him.
"I don't know what yours was, but I just got one of my own." He said between fits of laughter.
"So immature." Aunt Rose sighed, going back to her magazine, well, my mom and I laughed at them. The door then burst open making us all stop and look over to see who it was,
"It's going to work." Aunt Alice said smiling a smug smile. After being silent for a minute all of us started laughing again and Aunt Rose joined in this time. Aunt Alice's hair had leaves and twigs in it and her clothes were torn and several places.
"What?" she asked looking confused.
"Look in a mirror." I said trying to breathe.
"That's what I get for jumping in trees." she said laughing with us.
My dad walked in the open door then laughing, with slightly irritated Uncle Jasper next to him. Uncle Jasper looked at Aunt Alice his eyes getting huge at her look, before trying not to laugh.
"I told you that you had to see it for yourself." my dad said still laughing. Well that explained the irritated look Uncle Jasper had.
We all tried to calm down then while Aunt Alice went to clean herself up.
"I'm going to go get the new table." My dad said still chuckling at bit.
"I want to come!" I said sitting up.
"Me to." Jake said following me over to my dad.
"I don't need help guys." He said shaking his head.
"Sure you don't." I said, giggling at bit at the idea that my dad needing help lifting something .
"Yeah Edward, like you don't need help." Jake said mock punching my dads shoulder.
"Alright then." My dad said with a small smile leading the way to the car.
"So Dad, guess who's going to keep Matt away from me tomorrow." I said as we walked to the car keeping my thoughts far away from the answer.
"Me." He said getting a small look if irritation on his face.
"No, Mom, Aunt Rose, and Aunt Alice." I said replaying the conversation in my mind for him.
"That's going to be interesting." He said chuckling. "Poor Matt, your mom will give him a heart attack."
"I think it's pretty funny." Jacob said, laughing again, probably picturing whatever it was that he was before.
"How do you come up with that stuff, Jacob?" My dad asked laughing.
"It's a talent."
"What I wouldn't give to be able to read minds." I mumbled, wondering what he was picturing in his mind.
"It can be pretty amusing." my dad said still laughing before opening the trunk to the Jeep. Uncle Emmett had got a new Jeep a year ago, this one was green. They took out all the seats to fit the table in.
We were carrying it away from the Jeep when Jacob's phone rang.
"Wow, you haven't lost it yet." I said lifting the table with three fingers.
"I know, I'm just as surprised as you are." He said before answering it.
"Hey Seth, can I call you back in like a minute?" Jacob asked as we made our way to the porch.
"No I need to talk to you now." I heard Seth say on the other line.
"Alright." He said, letting the table go and walking towards the forest. My dad and I just looked at each other and I could tell that he thought the same thing I did. That the pack had come across a new trail. Jacob didn't come back for twenty minutes, I paced back in forth until he did, trying not to think.
"Well," He said coming through the front door. "The new trail leads to the old house and then takes off from there. It's still fresh, so I guess I'll be heading back to La Push tonight." He then slumped down in the couch and just sat there looking irritated.
"Shouldn't you be on your way then?" My mom asked looking confused.
"Yeah, but they all irritated me so they can wait." He said rolling his eyes. "They know its Nahuel and probably one of his sisters, but they want me to back. Seth told them it was dumb, but no I have to come back. They told me that they all have commitments and families too and it's just selfish for me not to come back and take command of my pack."
"Well I mean some of them do have kids. It might help them out for you to go back." My mom said trying to make him feel better.
"Most of them think its stupid for me to come back too and I wouldn't have had to if my sister hadn't got on the phone. I'm five months pregnant and I need Paul here. You have it easy, I have to deal with dad and take care of a house. If it's that big of a deal then have the vampires you live with come with you and help." he said imitating his sister's voice.
"God you would think she's the only one who exists on the planet. It's not even about the pack, it's about her. I had to take care of our Dad at one point too."
"We could come back and help." Uncle Emmett said smiling. He would do anything if there was a possibility of a fight.
"No its fine. I'll just go back and hopefully be back by tomorrow." He said shaking his head before getting up. "If they won't let me leave then I'll be back by Monday. I refuse to stay longer then that. I'm going to go get a few things, I'll be back."
"I feel bad for the kid; I know what it's like to have someone nagging you all the time." Uncle Emmett said, as always, putting his foot in his mouth when he should have known to be quiet.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Aunt Rose asked, standing up and gave my Uncle the look of death.
"Nothing Rose." He replied, rolling his eyes.
"Well ,I'm so sorry that I nag you to much, Emmett Cullen! Maybe I won't be here to nag you anymore." She said storming out of the room and cussing under her breath.
"Rose, babe." He said going after her.
"You'd think he would have learned by now to keep his mouth shut." Uncle Jasper said shaking his head.
"I don't think he'll ever learn to do that." I said plopping down in Jacobs old seat. It seemed like Jacob was going to be gone for awhile. I always hated it when he was gone; my life seemed so boring without him.
Jacob came back up to the house with a small bag on his arm a few minutes later, he said goodbye to everyone leaving saving me for last , but before he could say anything Aunt Rose started to throw things at Uncle Emmett who had came into the living room. So he and I went outside where it was safe.
"Sorry I might have to bail out of the party this weekend." He said frowning.
"Don't worry about it Jake. I know you have other responsibilities back at La Push." I said trying to smile.
"You're mad at me aren't you? You're forcing that smile."
"Jake, of course not! I'm just going to miss you that's all."
"I know, I'm going to miss you too." He said, before pulling me into one of his hugs that would that would break any human's bones. "I hate my sister."
"I hate her too." I said with a shaky laugh, I didn't want to let go of him. I wished I could hold on to him forever and never let him go.
"I'll be back soon." He said letting go of me. It kind of sounded like he was talking to himself more then me.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure," He said looking confused.
"You're still keeping your promise, right?" I asked looking down.
"Of course, I am coming back." He said making me look up at him. His eyes looked sincere, but I had meant more when I asked that.
"Jake, I mean it sounds like your sister needs your help and if your dad needs you," I said trailing off after he gave me a disapproving look.
"Nessie, nothing has changed, everything I said before still stands. I am not going back!" He said getting worked up again
"Ok, calm down. I just wanted to make sure. Please call me when you get the chance."
"I'll call you when I'm sitting in my sister's house bored." He said smiling his special smile at me. "Don't worry either because I'll be fine."
"I know, if I was worrying I wouldn't let you go." I said smiling right back at him. "Just be careful."
"I will. And if the plan fails, just punch Matt like I taught you."
"I've already been practicing." I said laughing.
"That's my girl." He said before hugging me again. He walked away from me after that and I watched him until he disappeared in the darkness.
"Goodbye Jake. " I whispered, as I tear ran down my cheek. I turned then and walked back to the house.
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting the roof of my little house. My dreams were haunted with the image of a russet colored wolf running through the forest, as I tossed and turned all night. I felt a weird sadness and Jacob was the first thing that came to my mind when I woke up. I really didn't know why it had seemed harder to say goodbye to him then ever before, or why I missed him so much. Nothing had changed he was still the same old Jacob that I had known my whole life.
Maybe it was me, but I was still the same person. The only thing that changed about me was that I was fully grown. I had to admit that the way I saw Jacob had changed a little bit, he was somehow different in a way that I didn't understand myself. He's touches seemed like they had more feeling to them, more softness and care. I was my happiest when I was around him; he never seemed to leave my mind anymore. He always could make me smile and brighten my days when I was sad. He was my partner in crime, in a strange way, kind of like my other half. The half that made me complete in a strange way. Strange was the word to describe my relationship with Jake, it was always strange but always normal somehow. I always had this feeling that there was more to it, but I didn't know what that was.
Images and thoughts of Jacob clouded my mind the rest of the morning and before I knew it my dad was calling me back to reality. He was sitting in front of me in the passenger seat of the Volvo, and it had never crossed my mind that he was probably listening to my thoughts.
"Missing Jacob?" He asked, with a weird look on his face that I could decode.
"Yeah," I said realizing that I was playing with the bracelet Jacob had made me when I was little.
"He'll be back."
"I know." I sighed as we pulled up to the school. The minute Aunt Rose's BMW pulled up next to us, Aunt Alice hopped out and pulled me from the car.
"Time to put our plan into action." she said putting her tiny arm through mine as Aunt Rose walked in front of us and my mom in back. I could hear the laughs of my dad and Uncles as we walked away.
We were half way across the parking lot when Matt came over to us looking nervous.
"Hey Nessie." He said.
"Hey Matt, I don't think you've ever met my sisters." I said smiling at him.
"Hi Matt." They all said at the same time flashing him smiles that would leave any man stunned.
"Hey." Was all he said quietly looking confused. We all smiled at him again before walking away leaving him dazzled as my mom called it.
We all started to laugh when we were far enough away. That was the first time he didn't follow me, we were still laughing when Lex came running over to me.
"Hey Lexie. I know you know Bella, but don't think you've met my other sisters. This is Alice and Rosalie." I said introducing her to each of them. Aunt Rose surprised me and smiled at her and said hi. Aunt Alice of course was over the top.
"Hey Lexie, I'm Alice. I love your top, by the way." She said smiling.
"Thanks." Lex said shyly.
"Oh my god!" Aunt Alice squealed touching Lexie's bag. "Is this apart of the new Juicy Couture line?"
"Yeah," Lex said, blushing.
"How did you get this? It's not supposed to be out until summer!" Aunt Alice asked almost jumping up and down. Well they were going to get along.
"Calm down Alice." my mom said at vampire speed.
"My Aunt works in development. She sends me stuff all the time." Lex said seeming more comfortable as we walked towards the school.
"You're so lucky!" Aunt Alice said before the bell rang.
The rest of the school day past easily, Matt was too scared to bug me. The one time he did come up to me, my mom dazzled him so bad the he passed out in the hallway. My mom felt really bad after that, but the rest of us found it amusing. My mom always seemed blind when it came to her beauty. Aunt Alice had talk to Lexie so much that we both invited her, my mom, and Aunt Rose to come with us on our shopping trip. Of course Aunt Alice agreed right away, my mom took some convincing because she didn't want to tag along if I didn't want her to. After I said I didn't mind she was in and to my great surprise Aunt Rose said she would come and even offered to drive. We all went home to get changed before we were set to leave.
I was almost ready when my phone rang.
"Hello," I said answering the phone after the first ring.
"Hey Nessie." Jacobs beautiful voice said from the other line.
"Hey Jacob." I said, smiling from just saying his name. "Any luck with the trails?"
"Nope, nothing at all. I've been running since I got here, they finally left me come back to my dads house to get some sleep." Jake said. I realized that he sounded really tried then.
"I'll leave you go then, you sound like you could use the sleep."
"No I'm fine, Rachel is making me food right now," He said, before I heard his sister's voice tell him to get off the phone. "And apparently yelling at me. So did Matt leave you alone?"
"Yeah, you missed it! My mom made him pass out." I said laughing.
"Way to go Bella!"
"I know! I'll replay it for you when you get back."
"I love how I can go away and not miss anything." He said laughing. "So what are you doing tonight?"
"I'm going shopping with Lexie, Aunt Alice, Aunt Rose, and my mom." I sighed
"Rosalie is going shopping with a human."
"I'm just as surprised as you are."
"A breakthrough for her. Maybe she will be nice to me now."
"I doubt that." I said laughing
"Just wishful thinking." he said sighing.
"So what are you doing to night?"
"Sleeping," he said, I heard his sister yell at him again. "and being yelled at by my sister. Hey don't hit me what's wrong with you! Apparently the happiness of the miracle of life is a waste on you, Rach."
"I'll show you happiness." I heard Rachel yell.
"That's it; I'm going to crash wolf style. Leave me alone!" Jacob said after I heard a crash.
"My sister is such a lovely person, don't you think?" Jacob said talking to me again.
"Very lovely." I said laughing. "So do you know when you're going to be home?"
"No, but like I said, Monday's my limit."
"Is it really that bad?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot how wonderful Leah is as well."
"I feel bad for you." I said. Leah was not nice at all, for some reason she really hated me.
"Don't, I'll be away from them soon enough." He sighed.
"Nessie, we have to leave now." My mom said from what sounded like her room.
"Crap, I have to go." I said not wanting to hang up the phone.
"Ok, I'll call you later tonight. I miss you." Jake said he sounded like he didn't want me to hang up either.
"I miss you too, bye Jake." I said before hanging up.
As happy as I was to hear from him it made me miss him even more. I felt so empty after I hung up, if there was one thing I knew it was that something had changed about Jake and me. If anything we were closer, but I had a feeling it was more than just being closer.
Hope you all have a good weekend, thanks for reading:D
