AN: haha..Characters are not mine… My puppy dog eyes didn't work on Ms. Meyer so I guess they stick with them...But hey, I'll love it when you give me a little bit of your precious time to write review.. * Intense Puppy dog eyes *


NessiePOV

"Renesmee…"

"So now we're back to full names huh? Jacob?" I joked trying to ease his nerves but it didn't seem to have any effect. "c'mon Jake. You can tell me anything under the sun. You look like you are going to confess that you have murdered someone." I told him.

"Ness, I… The truth is that I'm… Gosh, this is difficult… I'm in love with….."He said. I didn't let him finish because I kinda know what he was going to say.

"HA! I knew it. You should have told me before!" I almost jumped so the boat started to wiggle.

"Woah, hold on. We'll end up turning. Wait…. You said I should have told you before? I mean you're not mad? Or think that it is awkward?" He was confused. What was he talking about? I was one of pioneers of setting him and Leah up.

"What? NO.I guess it wouldn't be awkward."I smiled at him. I was very happy that he finally realized how he and Leah would make sense.

"You think so? How about the teasing? What other people would think..." He trailed.

"Trust me, everyone will be happy." I told him. Then I was surprised when he pulled me into a hug but I hugged him back.

"I don't really care about them. Are you happy?"he asked then I nodded while still enveloped by his embrace.

"I love you, Nessie." He told me while looking at my eyes once he released me. Then he did the most unexpected thing on earth. He kissed me. Not a friendly kiss but a real kiss in the lips. I froze but recovered. WAIT! WHAT'S HAPPENING?

"Wa.. Wait Jake… What the…" I pushed him. "What on earth are you doing?"

"What?" He looked at me like I was an alien or something.

"What are you doing. Why did you…" I cannot say the word kiss. It was so embarrassing and awkward. I like to punch him and yell at him but I'm still in shock.

"But I thought you…" He trailed.

"Huh? Now what... What was that? I would totally understand if it's on the cheek but…"I was on the verge of freaking out. This whole situation was really weird and I badly want to slap myself just to make sure that I am not having a nightmare.

"I'm sorry Nessie, I just thought you feel the same way too. I'm so stupid…Please forgive me." He apologized.

"Feel the same way about what? You just told me that YOU are IN LOVE with LEAH then…" He cut me off.

"WAIT.. I never said that I am in love with LEAH." He snapped.

"But you…" I recalled our earlier conversation. He was right. He never said that he was in love with LEAH. He didn't have a chance to tell her name but I expected that it was Leah… then it dawn me and I looked at him with wide eyes.

"You must be under misapprehension, Nessie. It is not Leah who I love. It's YOU. It has always been YOU. It was the reason why I never have my eyes on Leah. It was for you all along. I was just afraid before but now I'm taking my chances. I love you Renesmee." He told me with sincerity and every word seemed to lace with emotion.

My mind was on over drive. I didn't know what to say or think. Now I'm really freaking out. This can't be happening. What do you expect me to do when my best friend who I thought in love and will be perfect with Leah just confessed that he was in love with me? I badly want to run away but we are in the middle of the lake. Smartass. I knew that he planned this so I couldn't escape.

I did the best option that I have to escape. I jumped. I jumped on the cold water of the lake. It was not really that far from the shore and I am a good swimmer.

"RENESMEE!" I heard him shout before I heard another water splash that indicates that he jumped too. I didn't look back. All I have in my mind was I need to get away from him.

I reached the shore and I was about to run fast I could but a strong pair of arms stopped me. Jake whirled me so I was now facing him.

"WHAT AREYOU DOING NESS? WHYDID YOU JUMP? YOUALMOST GAVE ME AN HEART ATTACK." He was really angry but I could tell that he got scared.

We were now both soaked with water and the cold air was not helping. He wiped the tears that escaped my eyes .I hadn't noticed that I was crying until he did that. I was really freaking out now.

"You don't have to cry Ness. It's okay if you don't feel the same way right now. I'm going to wait. Even forever." His features softened contrasting his expression a while ago.

"What about Leah? Jacob… I don't know if you are numb or dumb or the mixture of both but can you not FEEL or SEE that Leah likes you? Or even LOVE YOU? What about her huh? Jacob, we could all see that you guys are perfect for each other…Why are you doing this….Why me? I'm your best friend! What would other people think? That they are right all along? That I DID HAVE APLAN OF STEALING YOU FROM LEAH?" I shouted.

I didn't really know what to do. I honestly don't care about other people. It was just Leah and of course our friends but it was mainly her. I know for a fact how deeply she cares for Jake though she was not really vocal about it. But we did talk about it before.

"What do you want me to do? Force myself to love Leah when all I could think about is YOU. I don't care about what other people would think. I will protect you, I promise. They will not matter because they don't really know us." He caressed my cheeks.

"But I do care Jake. I don't want to hurt Leah." I was about to leave but he stopped me.

"Ness…I'm going to wait."He said.

"I don't think that was a good idea. Let me go Jacob." The last sentence came out colder than I intended it to be. But I need to be somewhere other than here. I could not think. I was really exhausted.

He let me go and I could see the pain written all over his face. I run to the confines of our cabin. I began to shiver so I took a quick cold shower and change my clothes. I saw a note on the table from Claire and she said that she just went out with Quil and the others. She said that they couldn't find Jake and me so they just left. She told me to just call her when I got home because apparently I left my phone here.

I began to cry once more. I didn't know what to do. It felt like whatever decision or action that I will make will just end up hurting someone. I was stuck in the middle. I was tempted to call Claire but I don't know if I could tell her about what happened. I was sobbing and it shook my entire frame. I was trying to suppress the sound that I was making so no one who was just passing by will hear me. It took a lot of effort because I couldn't do it easily.

My mind brought back the memory of the earlier kiss. I froze that time but now it gave me this big confusion and question mark in my head. But why would it confuse me? Shouldn't I be mad at Jake? Why am I not angry? Is it possible that I feel something for him? Do I like him too? It shouldn't be.

The last image of Jacob was etched powerfully on my mind. These whole round of tears brought nostalgia because I was once more crying because of him. He seemed to be fond of making me cry these days huh? Then I imagine what Leah would probably think if she knew about this. I don't know but I have a feeling that it would not be good. I don't really know what to do. My head was pounding.

I dialed my mother's phone. She's the only person I know that I could talk to but I was diverted into a voice mail.

I just cried and lay down my bed for a very long time. My phone began ringing. It was Count on Me by Bruno Mars which was assigned for Jacob. I ignored it but it brought tears to my eyes. I really wanted to answer it but I don't know what to say or if I can talk to him right now. He called like a hundred times but not once did I picked up.

Knock…Knock…

I quickly wiped my tears and hoped that my eyes were not red. I hurried and was about to open the door when a note was slipped under the door. I picked it up and the note was addressed to me.

Renesmee

It was Jake's hand writing. The paper was a little crumpled and has little spots of dried water. Tears?

I was about to open it when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and the note. I looked back at the phone and my thumb lingered at the answer button. After three more rings I decided to answer.

"Hello.."
