Chapter 6: Leaving Lake Monroe
Renesmee, Jacob, Jason's POV in these chapters and more drama ceases.
Renesmee
Lake Monroe was glorious; we've all really enjoyed ourselves on this short weekend vacation, met lots of interesting people, made friendships which I'm sure will last, lots of fun activities thrown into the mix, and just spending the weekend with family was all worth it, but it sadly had to come to an end…
It was a Sunday early morning. The sun was shining brightly against the dusted windows, birds chirping on vagrant trees, silent squirrel chattering and the snoring of my life, Jacob Black sleeping beside me lying on his bare stomach. I smiled at myself as to how he looked so much like a five year old. I turned to see Jason and Laura soundly asleep too, with their arms around each other. God they looked all too cute together, after all those months of avoiding each other finally paid off, I'm glad my brother and friend found someone they could live forever with
"I agree" Jason whispered, smiling at Laura, who began to stir but not waking up. I smiled widely at my brother
"You're not sleeping?" I asked him
"Sister, I only need four hours of sleep a day, I've been awake all along" he said with a light chuckle. I smiled "And by the way, you should limit the time your time you dream about Jacob," he said raising his eyebrow. I chuckled and a light blush was plastered on cheeks
"Sorry" I said with an apologetic grin. He just smiled "We're leaving today" I sighed sadly
"Oh really I didn't know!" he muttered-exclaimed sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes at him "But yeah I guess we are, it was an interesting weekend huh" he said and I completely agreed
'You got that right little brother" I said
"I look older than you dork" he joked, I narrowed my eyes at him with bloodshot eyes ready to kill. He just smiled
"What did you just call me?" I said sternly clenching my fists. He looked frightened by the tone of my voice but I knew he was just messing around
"Uh…Um beautiful and smart…yeah that's what I said" he said with a weak smile, I rolled my eyes
"But I'm technically older than you, by four years" I said like it was obvious, he just grinned and clapped his hands lowly
"Well done sister you finally know your age, I'm so proud" he teased with a light chuckle. I tightened my jaw muscles "But yeah you are older, but don't worry I'll always be your protective brother" I heard a low snigger from behind, and I knew Jacob was awake
"You've always been my protective brother" I mumbled rolling my eyes, he just grinned which internally made me huff at the sudden mood change
"Morning Jakey" I said turning around to see him smiling widely at me
"Morning beautiful" he said bringing his lips to mine in a sweet sensual good morning kiss. I heard my brother gag from behind and I just giggled
"My brother has the mental capacity of a four year old" I joked
"That's because he is four love" Jake answered me. I giggled "How'd you sleep?" he asked me with his signature Jake smile
"I slept delightfully" I told him with a smile
"Yeah you did" Jason teased and I glared at him. He just snickered, I turned back to see Jacob pressing his lips together trying to hold back a laugh
"Shut up" I murmured nudging his chest, he just smiled at me. I heard a light giggle from behind me and I knew Laura must've been wake "Morning Laura" I called and she just continued giggling. It's either she's laughing because of the joke which was non-at all hilarious or either my brother's entertaining her, either way it's disgusting
"Um…yeah, let's go" Jake whispered to me as if he read my mind and got off the bed whilst extending his hand for me. I took it with no question and we headed out the door
"Whatever Jason did to Laura, was so wrong in so many levels of wrongness" I said not quite making sense. Jacob just guffawed into laughter
"I'm glad I'm not close with my siblings" he joked
"Yeah I've always wondered about that situation, why is that?" I asked out of curiosity
"Well…ever since we were little, I've never been close to them, there's no accurate reason for that but I think it was cause my entire childhood I'd grown up with Embry, Quil and the guys that I hardly noticed my sisters" he said truthfully
"Doesn't mean I love them any less, of course I wouldn't admit that to them" he said with a light chuckle, I smiled
"That's sweet…How are they actually?" I asked him "Do you still keep in touch?"
"Yeah I guess, Rebecca's doing great in Hawaii with Solomon and Rachel…well you'd say she's taming Paul" he mumbled quietly at the end. I giggled
"Poor Rachel" I joked he chuckled, Paul wasn't my favorite wolf of the pack, I only tolerated him because he was Jakes friend "I really don't wanna leave you know" I sighed
"You're telling me" he sighed as well as we lounged on a bench across the lake admiring the horizon "Being here was a good experience, but the best part is I get to spend it with you" he said staring deep into my eye. I smiled widely at him
"Yeah" I said and he nodded with his heart-shattering smile and leaned in for a kiss but we were rudely interrupted by the chime sound of my annoying brother
"Hey Breakfast time!" he shouted from behind and cussed under my breath. Jacob chuckled
"I'm going to kill him" I said sternly, he smiled "He looks really bored hey" I said staring at my brother walking alone to the main house
"I don't know…he looks kind of pissed to me" Jacob said
"Do you think Laura and him had an argument?" I asked him sadly. Jason and Laura have been arguing way too much lately and it's kind of scaring me. Jacob shrugged
"I don't know…Let's go, I'm starving" he said standing up and extending his hand for me. I snorted
"Of course you are" I muttered jokingly. He narrowed his eyes at me and I just giggled, we made our way to the main cabin for our 'morning banquet' as Jacob calls it and had breakfast with the Mason's
Laura
After Jake and Nessie left the cabin, Jason spun me around so he was hovering over me under our warm quilt, I giggled as he moved my hair sideways and nibbled on my neck with his ice cold which always sent shivers to my blood
"I need to get up and change you know" I muttered lowly into his ear, he shook his head slightly
"I know" he said his lips still in contact with my skin, I let out a soft embarrassing moan. He just chuckled
"I'm wondering what Jacob and Renesmee are thinking about what wild and impulsive things we're doing" I mumbled with a low chuckle. He groaned lowly his lips still on my neck
"Who cares, plus we aren't doing wild or impulsive things are we now" he said against my skin
"No no we aren't" I said rolling my eyes slightly, I felt him smile against my skin, he then kissed my left neck and down my collarbone, I gasped when the sudden coldness of his tongue as he licked me. I felt both of his hands roam at the hem of my shirt as he lifted it slightly and ever so tenderly "I do recall how to undress myself Jason Cullen" I whispered into his ear
"Yeah, but I just wanna experience doing it myself" he said breathing against my skin, I smiled and let him carry on. We were rudely interrupted by a bang on our door. Jason sighed and got off me
"Who is it?" I asked-whispered to him and then the person knocked softly on the door while humming
"It's your mother" he whispered back and my eyes widened extremely widely
"Renesmee, Laura…It's time to get up girls, breakfast will be served in 30 minutes" she said in her sweet warming voice "Or I'll have to get in a throw you with a bucket filled with cold water like I use to 3 years ago" she said her voice equally warming, Jason lightly chuckled
"No it's ok mom, we're awake!" I called out to her and then I heard footstep head away from the door until there were out of hearing range. I turned to Jason
"Is the close clear?" I asked frantically. He nodded and I let out a sigh of relief and flung my head back on the pillow
"You should just mellow out Laura" he said to m. I glared at him
"Mellow out? Mellow out! How am I supposed to mellow out when one of my family members find a boy laying right next to me, and might I say shirtless! How will that image look" I said rising my voice a little
"Oh I'm sorry for trying to make it easier for them to find out about us, or are you just going to keep us a secret until they die" he said angrily and a little sadly. My angry eyes soon turned into complete guilt as he got out of the bed and pulled his shorts on
"Jason…" I said torn, but he just shook his head as he put his shirt on
"No…Do what you want Laura, I'm done begging you" he said leaving, no…more like barging the out the door, I had tears welling up in my eyes and before I knew it I had a tear roll down my cheek. Now I felt completely angry about myself because I can't even give Jason a chance, I'm too worried about my father's predicament on me dating and forgetting my boyfriend's point of view, well I doubt that he'd want to keep his title as my boyfriend after this…God I'm so stupid, all my life I've been doing everything wrong, I might have just lost my reason for existence because of my insecurities. I had to change that and fast, I am not losing Jason on this stupid petty thing, I'm going to tell my family about us and I'll be proud
After washing up for the day, I got changed out of my sleeping wear and into short hello kitty shorts, a black tank to and put my hair into a messy bun then I made my way to the main house to see everyone getting into their seats and I caught Jason sitting by opposite seat to the right and an open seat next to his. I had quick thinking and I made my way there before anyone else took it
"Look Jason I'm terribly sorry…I-I" I began but he immediately got up and took seat far away from me. I didn't feel hurt when he did that, I knew I deserved it. Renesmee saw the entire scene and looked at me sympathetically; I gave her a weak smile to say 'everything was ok' she nodded her head but not fully convinced
We began to eat our breakfast. Nothing too fancy, eggs, bacon, hash brown, omelets, cinnamon pancakes, cereal, toasted bread, chocolate brownies and muffins and all the rest. It was actually a huge banquet buffet but I hardly cared about that right. We went into comfortable silence through it until I broke it. This was it…
Jason
After walking off on Laura, I realized I was kind of harsher than I expected, I felt an immediate gush of guilt flow through my veins, I just need to think things through but little miss Redhead here had to put more pressure on me
Whatever you did to my best friend was completely uncalled for little brother! If she starts breaking down, god so help me because I'm going to literally kill you, you hear me brother…It wasn't her fault, she loves you, give her a chance please, I don't like seeing you guys argue and it pains me to see my best friend sad…just please brother Renesmee thought into my head
First off 'sister' leave me the fuck alone, this is between Laura and I and I don't remember you being a part of it, and second I know that I love her too more than anything, I just need some time to think and you bothering me isn't helping ok! Geez Jacob should put a leash on you, you're becoming a control freak I projected back and she immediately kept quiet feeling hurt. My dad caught our little argument and narrowed his eyes at both of us,
"Stop it both of you!" he whispered calmly towards us but we both knew he was really pissed "We'll sort your problems out later but now we have to be civilized here ok?" he said and Nessie and I both nodded
The whole congregated group went into comfortable silence for a while until Laura broke it and did something unthinkable
"Um everyone" she said getting up and getting everyone's attention "I need to tell you all something" she began with a quick glance at me. I eyed her Damn Laura, what are you doing? I asked her frantically I'm doing something I should've done a long time ago she thought as I read her mind Not now I projected but didn't get an answer, she just carried on "I have a confession to tell. I know this might seem like the inappropriate time to say this but…I have been keeping a secret from all of you and I'm sorry for that especially you mom and dad, but…I'm just gonna blurt it out, Jason and I are…dating" she said slowly, I quickly took a glance at Laura's dad to see him processing the information
"Laura, you don't have to do this" I said to her and everyone's eyes immediately flashed on me, except Jerry of course. Laura just shook her head "and dad, I understand this must be overwhelming for you, and I know you might be angry and think he'll hurt me, but you have to understand that he's the one, he's the one I'm going to marry and needless to say, I am unconditionally, completely and irrevocably in love with him," she said with such passion that just made me smile, she stared at me as she said those words. People awed and cooed as she said those words, that's until Jeremy slammed the fork on the table with such anger, you could literally see him burning in flames of pissedosity
"You're what?!" he shouted across the table which made Katherine flinch slightly, he then stood up from his seat
"Dad I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I'm not sorry for following my heart. Remember your catch phrase 'keep moving on and you'll see your future' well that's what I'm doing now, Jason's my future, and I love-" she began but he had to cut her off
"Laura you don't know a thing about love, don't spout that crap to me, you blatantly disobeyed my rules and gone off with some teenager!" he spat at her, Laura gasped then Katherine stood up trying to calm her husband
"I can't believe you just said that…your being very hypocritical for that Dad, you dated mom when she was in high school and you in college, do you think mother didn't know what love was back then! Look at you guys now! Do you think she didn't love you when she dropped out of school just to have your baby, that's right Christie, the child you almost walked away from, almost deprived…and now you expect me to be the golden daughter you've always wanted? You never loved Christie, you thought she was too much of a burden huh, well it seems like history just repeated itself" she said sternly and pure anger, she regretted it immediately when she saw the hurt on her mother's face "…Just please dad, I'm almost 18 dad, you have to realized and accept that I just found my mate, but I am sorry for not telling you sooner" she said
"Mr. Mason I'm so-" I began standing up and trying to apologize, but he glared at me
"No! Don't you dare say a word" he spat at me then that's when my father came into the picture
"Ok no need to speak to my brother like that sir…Jason leave, and may you guys discuss this outside where there's no audience" he said to them, and then Laura, Jerry and Katherine left outside, I sighed as I got up from my seat, Jackson whistled loudly
"Wow…now that was an unexpected turn of events" he whispered to someone sitting next to him. I left the room and felt the presence of my mother following me
"Mom I didn't expect this to happen" I told her
"I know sweetie, I know" she said pulling me into a hug, I lay my head on her shoulder in comfort
"He hates me doesn't he" I said more of a statement
"No honey, no. he's just trying to process all of this that's all, he's trying to accept that his only daughter left has finally grown up and has been so afraid of her being hurt. It's a parent's instinct, your father went through it, he found it really hard to let you guys go after only spending little time with you, not spending the whole 18 years with both you and Renesmee" she said calmingly
"So you're sad you never got to see us grow up as you thought it would be" I told her she nodded slightly
"But we've learnt to accept it, you're both from different species to humans, you're bound to grow up, you were forced and made to grow. We tried giving you the childhood you guys so rightfully deserved, but I guess that's what it is…but don't get me wrong, I love that you guys are more mature now and have morals you've set upon you, I love you guys more than my whole life and I wouldn't change anything for the better" she said with such sincerity I almost…almost had water in my eyes. My mom and dad never got to see the childhood of their children but they loved us unconditionally and will never take it for granted, as if she read my mind, my mother nodded "And let me tell you a secret" she said and I just rolled my eyes wondering what the secret might me, she chuckled "don't worry, I am no Rosalie or Alice, this secret is about my past…not so long ago 9 years ago, your father left me" she said
"Wait…as in broke up with you?" I asked in pure shock, she nodded
"For six months, I might add, he said and I quote 'I'm doing this for your own good because I'm not good' and the classic one 'You just don't belong in my world Bella' and it was the most painful and heart wrenching six months of my poor human life, I was the walking dead without him, I lost my reason for existing without Edward, I would be dead by now actually" she said with a light chuckle at the reminisce
"Wow, dad left you? So who picked the pieces back up" I asked rather curious
"Jacob" was all she said and my eyes widened, but now I really realize how old Jacob was and how long his known my mother, should have known
"Oh yeah the best friend thing" I said like it was obvious
"Actually…" she said trailing off then that's when my father came into view and wrapped his arm around her waist
"Jacob and your mother have their pasts" he said kissing her forehead. What did he mean pasts? "After I left, your mother was left broken and Jacob was there to fix her, but during those six months, he realized he fell in love with her" he told me
"Jake dated mom!" I gasped in utter shock, they both laughed at my persistent facial expressions
"Not exactly," My mother said embarrassedly
"Jacob was once my sworn enemy back in the day because he thought I was taking his love of his life, and we've had conflict then but that doesn't matter anymore. What I'm trying to say is that Jacob was there for you mom when I wasn't and being away from her that long, knowing that she almost died just took me over the edge and that made me torn every day, knowing I left your mother for those painful six months was always a reminder at how much I took her for granted, I never wanted her to be like me, to not have a soul but thinking back, I realized I was stupid to think that because she's my soul my life, my everything" he said staring at her now with such love and might I say, utter devotion
"Well you kept me long enough" she joked and kissed his shoulder. I really understand now, that I wouldn't know what I'd do if I ever lived without Laura, staying away for six months, I shivered at the thought, and that doesn't usually happen
"Yeah, well everything turned out ok didn't it?" I said happily
"Yes it did" My father said with a smile, my mom nodded "Ok…Jason, a certain someone is waiting for you at the lake, you better get over there" he said grinning at me, I smiled and nodded, I hugged my mother and dad before heading to the lake to talk to my girl…
As I got closer, I saw Laura throwing seeds into the pond filled with black breasted ducks and swans. The way she angled her arms and gracefully threw the seeds made me smile happily
"Hey" I called out and she turned around to see me standing behind her, she smiled slightly but stood where she was Should I hug him she debated with herself and I chuckled "Yes" I answered her thoughts and she literally jumped on me which if I were human, would have made me lose my balance
"I am terribly sorry Jason, I know that-" she began as I felt a warm tear fall down on my shirt
"Hey, don't say anything, I'm the one who needs to apologize, I know I've been pressurizing you about this and I feel utterly guilty for my part, I get it now that you wanted to do it at the right time and pressuring you isn't the right way to solve the situation. I love you Laura, more than anything" I assured to her, I literally hear her smile on my shoulder
"As I love you Jason" she told me. I kissed her head and she moved her head so she faced me, I pecked her lips before repositioning us so we sat on the ground
"So what happened with the old man" I asked her and she just let out a sigh
"I don't really wanna talk about it but all went kind of well and he'd agreed he'll try to accept this with a little assurance from my mom and your father, but he just needs to calm down a bit, so he left with my mother…oh and I'm grounded for a week" she said with a light chuckle at the end, I smiled
"At least he took it better than we thought" I told her with a grimace
"Could've gone a whole lot worse, like trying to break us apart" she said sadly at the thought
"Hey, nobody will break us apart, not family not friends and especially not your dad" I assured her. She nodded with her usual gorgeous smile
"Yeah, I guess" she said with a light sigh "I guess we're leaving soon" she muttered
"It was fun while it lasted hey" I told her
"It sure was, and I definitely wanna come back here some time" she said looking at the horizon
"We will have forever" I murmured to her. She nodded wrapping her arms around my neck
"That sounds so right to me." Her ever so perfect lips crashed into mine in a beautiful and sweet tender kiss which didn't last so long but felt so right and knowing I'd get to spend my future forever falling more in love with this girl made me the happiest man in the world…
