Nothing.

Tap, tap.

Tap, tap.

Tap, tap.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

My hand comes down so quickly on Jared's pencil it snaps in half.

"What's your problem?" He asks, fuming. Oh, so I have a problem?

"You and your tapping. I warned you." I fume back. Stupid, cunt, motherfucker…all the names I wish to call Jared file in my brain until Renesmee breaks us up.

"Guys, the assignment. Stop flirting and get back to research." She speaks over her laptop as all three of us have sheets and books and computers spread out across Jared's bedroom floor. The sick bastard said that his dad didn't like people in his house, so he convinced Ness to work on the assignment in his room. Now he can go to all his friends, including Jacob and say 'Two, not one, but two.' I look at Jared who just looks amused by what Ness just said. Flirting? With this pile of shit? Fuck no.

"Renesmee you say something like that again and what happened to that pencil is what will be happening to your finger." I threaten with my words, but I would never actually do that to someone. Renesmee and I have become quite reasonable friends in the short time we have known each other. We've planned to get ready for Leah's party together at her house beforehand.

"I'm sorry." She mumbles, obviously hurt. I'll apologise later. "I have to get home." She makes excuses and she really does seem hurt. Shit, don't leave me? Hastily she packs away her things into her bag and I start packing also.

"Where you going, Rosalie?" Jared's hand rests on my knee and I knew sitting on his bed was a horrible idea.

"Somewhere far, far away from you." I grab the rest of my stuff and chase Renesmee out the door. "Why were you going to leave me?" I ask her as we see ourselves out of Jared's house. Rude prick.

"I wasn't. I really had to go. My father doesn't like me being out when it's almost dark." I look up at the sky and it isn't even anywhere near dark, but I don't really care about her curfews or anything. "Besides, I don't want to get into trouble before the party on Saturday."

"Yeah, good idea. Oh, and I'm sorry about before. Just, I hate Jared. He's such a fucking dick." I shake my head at the thought of being on his bed only moments ago. She laughs.

"He's pretty sick in the head, isn't he?" We joke as I walk her to her car, which might I add is pretty damn nice.

"Very. I'll see you tomorrow at school, Ness." I give her a hug, and it's not an awkward one from the first day of school, but like one of those I used to share with Alice. I sigh internally as I get into my car and drive home.


"Have you ever gotten so drunk you don't remember the morning after?" Renesmee asks as I play with her already beautiful hair, curling it just slightly more so it frames her face better.

I laugh. "Yeah, I have on numerous occasions. You?" I ask back, as we play our own little game of "Have you ever…" to get to know each other better.

"No, my parent's don't really let me go to parties. Not like we have many on The Res. And they are nothing like the ones you would have back home." She twirls the section of hair I asked her to hold while I focus on another. Hair and make up and all that shit was never my thing, but Alice and I swapped information. I taught her how to play volleyball and all about sports and she taught me what I needed to know about being a girl. We were complete opposites, but made the best pair.

Alice…sigh.

"Okay, have you ever…had…um, sex?" Ness whispers and doesn't look at me in the reflection of the mirror and I watch her cheeks heat up. I don't laugh, not this time.

"Yeah." It was nothing but a pitiful 'yeah'. "How about you?" I pause my fiddling on her locks and watch her face.

"No, I… I'm still a virgin." I knew the answer, you could tell Renesmee was good through and through. Her smile was genuine and friendly, and her goodness showed through how she spoke. Her parent's taught her well. Meeting Mr. and Mrs. Swan was an interesting encounter. Who knew that her father was a doctor and worked with my mother? Not me. Renesmee looked a lot like her mother, natural beauty. I could see myself becoming friends with her parent's, as well as becoming good friends with Renesmee. Her maturity, but being so young made me think of her as a sister already. It was strange. And I think I liked it.

"Hey, don't be ashamed of that." I turned the office chair around so that she was now facing me. Still I had to lift her face up so that she would actually look me in the eyes. "It's good. You're good. It's you. Don't be ashamed of still being pure. Because, when the time is right and you're with the right guy, it will be just that much special." She smiled at me and I couldn't help myself when she opened her arms and I bent down to hug her.

"Now, let's make you look sexy for all my stepbrother's friends." I give her a wink.

Her blush was just so adorable. "Okay, but I would never be able to compete with you." She takes her seat and I begin styling her hair again.

"Oh, shut up you silly fool." We laugh like the best of friends and I know we will be at that stage soon. Returning to our game, Renesmee loosens up a little towards me and I am learning all new things about this sweet girl.

"Have you ever been in love, Rosalie?" The question made me smile, yet my heart throbbed unusually.

"I," It was my turn to stumble over my words. "I think I still am." The trust I felt with Renesmee made me want to tell her. I needed to tell her. She would listen, and I would tell all.

"Who?" She asks and then slaps a hand over her mouth. "Sorry, it's none of my business." I laugh at her self-effacing personality.

"It's okay. His name is Emmett. He was my first boyfriend and is now my first ex." She nods and then asks the question I knew was coming.

"Why did you break up?" Her quizzical look makes me look away from her eyes and I watch as my hands finish her hair.

"I cheated on him." Shame washed through me, but when I looked up at the mirror her eyes were accepting and empathetic. "But, I was the one that broke it off. I didn't like hurting him." She nods again and changes the subject as she watches me brush my eyes with my hands quickly, catching tears.

"Do you think you could save my face?" She jokes and I find myself laughing. She knew when to be quiet, she knew when and what to ask and she knew when I needed to laugh. I think I was falling in love with this sweet girl. In a non-lesbian way.

"I think. Does your dad have a chisel?" The laughter continues throughout the afternoon as we both prepare for the night ahead.

I helped Ness with everything; hair, make up and outfit. She enjoyed being pampered and I enjoyed focusing on someone else rather than just myself. It wasn't until Bella, Ness' mum, came out with a camera to take pictures that I had ever seen her mean side. Hell, I didn't even know she had one until the first flash went off.

"Mum, why do you always have to embarrass me? You know that's why I don't bother bringing friends over." She defiantly crosses her arms over her chest and pouts. I grabbed her arm and pulled her next to me as Mrs. Swan took a picture.

"Your mum just wants to have memories. Don't you think it's fair you give her a few seconds while she's given you the last sixteen years?" I ask in a joking tone, but I was very serious. Bella's unexpected hug made Mr. Swan laugh.

"Bella, leave the poor girl alone." He pulls his wife off me and then gives me a smile I've seen before on Renesmee's face. "That was a very beautiful thing to say, Rosalie." He then lets go of his wife and pulls me away from the door and to the living room.

"Are you alright, Mr. Swan?" I ask as he takes a seat on the couch, running a hand through his already messed up hair.

"Edward." He corrected me. Okay, Edward. Damn. If he weren't Renesmee's father I would be digging some pretty sexy gold right now. "Do you think you could do me a favour, Rosalie?" He asks and I nod. "Please look after my little girl. I don't like the idea of parties and teenage drinking." I open my mouth, about to lie about the alcohol, but he holds up a hand to stop me. "I know what goes on at those things, Rosalie. I was a teenager once, too. Just, please look after her. If anything ever happened to her, Bella would be distraught."

"I promise to make sure that nothing happens to, Ness." And I will most definitely be sure to keep that promise.

"Good, you look like the type of girl to know how to handle herself in a situation. I'm glad you came over today. Renesmee doesn't have many good friends and ever since your arrival I've been hearing just how wonderful you are from her. Plus, your mother has been adding her two cents in about you, too." He chuckles as I wonder what things he has heard.

"You don't have to worry about a thing Mr… I mean Edward." I correct myself and he smiles. "If any boy dares to even touch her without her permission I will personally hack his balls off with a rusty spoon." Did that just come from my mouth? Shit. All well, Edward laughs so I know he's cool with it.

"How about a team effort? You can give them a good beating while I hold them." He stands up and I just laugh at him. He seems like an awesome dad. Renesmee is one lucky girl.

"Come on, Rosalie." She grabs a hold of me and gives her parent's a goodbye and a quick wave before we're heading out the door to my car.

My summary of this party. Crap. Music, crap. Food, crap. Clothes people are wearing, crap. Alcohol, average and plentiful. People, few non-crap, many crap. When we first arrived I could hear music, very loud music because the Clearwater's closest neighbours were miles away. But, it wasn't muffled, as it would be if inside a house, no, no Leah set up the sound system outside in the fucking cold. I swear I was going to freeze, but Leah seemed smart enough to set up a bonfire and it felt good to place my hands over the hot flames.

"Rosalie." Leah greeted me somewhat nicely and handed me a beer. She offered Ness one too, but she declined. "Seth and Claire are preparing food. You can go inside and help if you want." She wasn't overly nice to Ness, but she wasn't rude either. It made me wonder how Ness got the impression that Leah was a bitch.

"So, some party." I commented and took a sip of beer, cheap. Leah laughed.

"Sorry it's not some massive party where everyone is sharing STD's or STI's or whatever you said." She speaks sarcastically as we both take a seat on camping chairs. The guys surrounding us laugh. I look around the campfire, as people simply hang and chill. Every guy in Jacob's group is here, Jared, Paul, Brady, Collin, and a couple of guys I noticed from gym class. And there are only, one, two, three, four, five girls. Out numbered, great. I spot Katie from English across the flames and give her a quick wave. She seems to be quite happy sitting on Collin's lap. Cute. Paul stands up from his seat next to Katie and Collin and nudges me off of my chair.

"Get up." He speaks nicely, but I have no idea what he's doing so I stay in my seat.

"What? No." I sip on my cold beer even though I know the weather is much too cold for it.

"Fine." Paul picks me up awkwardly and sits back on my camping chair with me in his lap. Well, that's a little bit… bold.

"What the fuck?" I ask, but no one seems fazed by what Paul did, not even Leah who starts up a conversation with Brady who sits next to her.

"I asked you to get up, but you didn't." Paul laughed taking my beer from me.

"But, that is…" I go to move off him as I realise what everyone must be seeing and what Jacob will see. Speaking of Jacob, he's nowhere in sight. "Where's Jacob?" I ask quickly.

"He was working a shift at the garage today. Billy must have kept him working late, or he's being a pussy and not showing up after Leah and he had a fight last night." What Paul said was news to me. I just nodded and stole my beer back.

"You know, I don't think it's wise for me to sit…here. Even if Jacob can't see." I whisper in Paul's ear and his smile tells me he is enjoying it.

"Just chill, it's fine. No one cares. Jacob's the only one that would. Besides, I wouldn't have done it if the others wouldn't approve." He squirms in his seat, pulling me closer.

"Whatever." I huff and watch the orange and amber flames dance in the cold air. "You're warm and I'm cold, so I'm not complaining." I feel Paul's deep chuckle against my back as I position myself so I'm sitting directly on top of him. I lay my head back on his shoulder as we share the beer. The silence between us is a little awkward and gets even more awkward as Ness, Seth and Claire come out of the house at take up the rest of the seats. Ness sits on our left and she gives us an embarrassed smile before conversing with Seth and Claire.

The two groups are very much separated. Seth, Ness and Claire on one side of the fire enjoying a joke between the three, Jacob's little gang, including Leah and Katie on the other side. They stay mostly silent, except for the couple enjoying their own conversation and Brady and Jared talking about basketball. That leaves Paul and I.

"I'm apologising in advance for when Jacob comes. I wont be able to keep you warm or touch you like I want to. But, I'll be thinking about you a hell of a lot." Paul's warm breath tickles my neck and I feel a slight buzz tingle my body as I've had about two extra beers and his hands wrapped around me makes me hot.

"It's okay. I'll be ignoring you completely." I giggle and he pretends to be all hurt and squeezes me tighter. I promised myself not to get carried away with Paul, but my excuse in my head was because it was cold, nothing more, and nothing less.

"You know Jared keeps giving us weird looks. It's pissing me off." He speaks low in my ear and I take a peek at Jared. He gives me a wink and his cocky grin spreads across his face as we all hear a loud bang. Jacob's here. Great.

It's all too soon to be jumping off of Paul's lap and he doesn't seem to want to let me go.

"One more second." He says against my neck before planting a kiss there. He lets me go and I grab two more beers before jumping over to Ness and friends. I chuck Paul the extra beer and he gives me an adorable smile before conversing with Collin and Katie. Since there are no extra chairs I squish up next to Ness in hers and she takes a sip of beer.

"Yuck, how can you drink that stuff?" She asks, scrunching up her face.

"Lady balls." Claire comments and the strange way she is sort of hanging off Seth, but still sitting on her own chair tells me she's drunk.

"Damn straight." I out stretch my arm and Claire taps her beer bottleneck against mine. She cracks up giggling as Seth just looks at her funny.

"Not drinking?" I ask him and he shakes his head.

"Not allowed. Messes up with my pain killers." Seth speaks and then everything goes silent. Seriously, even the music is switched off as Jacob turns the knob. He quickly changes the music and it's actually some good shit coming through the speakers. No one speaks until Jacob snatches a freshly cracked beer from Leah's hand as she stands up. He takes her seat and pulls her on top of him. They kiss and I look away, trying not to gag.

Conversation is picked up once again, and this 'party' isn't half bad. Although, I wouldn't call it that, I would call it a 'chill session' or a 'gathering'. Pretty soon and I've downed my fifth beer and wanting more. I get up off my chair and check the cooler, but it's empty and Seth tells me there is more inside. I get inside and I manage to find the kitchen. The fridge is stocked. Fully, with beer and beer and even some double blacks. Oh, Leah you've been holding out on me. I grab the four pack and rip the cardboard. I crack all four open, I could just hand them out, the girls only. The guys can settle for bitter shit. The hands creeping around my waist were to be expected but I still jumped.

He laughs. "Settle down. It's just me." I very painstakingly unwrap his hands.

"Paul, no. Jacob's here now." I make an excuse, but he grabs me again, still laughing.

"I know. But…" He sighs beautifully and I can't help but reach out my hand to play with the hair that falls in his eyes. He kisses my hand moving it away from his face. "I'm sick of being good. It's hard enough keeping my hands off you at school." I don't resist him, push away or protest as his lips gently brush mine.

"You know your ex was a very lucky guy." Just as were about to kiss again he says that. I pull away.

"Yeah, lucky." I mumble, looking away.

"Did I say something wrong?" He asks, worried.

"No, it's fine. Just kiss me again and try to keep your comments to yourself." I don't have to ask him again before his lips find mine and he's backing me into the fridge. The clinking of the glasses inside the fridge makes me giggle against his soft lips.

"Damn." A comment slips his lips as his hands wander up my shirt, toying with the skin he finds. I don't know whether it's the alcohol or the fact that Paul's lips and hands feel so good I find myself unable to speak or think a coherent thought.

"Hmm…" I hum in agreement as his lips leave mine, only to take up a track down my neck. His lips make the same root until they attach with mine again. His tongue sweeps across my bottom lip and I open them and meet him halfway. Sighing into his mouth he deepens the kiss as his hand slides down to the crook of my knee. Hoisting my right leg up over his waist, he presses himself into me. Fuck, he's hard. No, no. I don't want to have sex with him. I know I don't have to. But, he's hard and damn his lips are soft. And, ouch the pain in my chest starts to throb again as my knee is protesting to being lifted.

"Shit, Paul." I sigh, pulling back as much as I can and remove his hand from my leg.

"What?" His harsh tone is annoying and reminds me of Jacob's stinky attitude.

"Never mind. Jacob's going to be piecing this together. I've been in here awhile." I slip away from him and he just looks defeated as he rests against the fridge, calming himself down. I gab the four bottles and make my way outside. A grumpy Jacob passes me. So fucking close.

"Sup." I pop my 'p' and he grunts at me, heading inside. I pass Leah and Katie a bottle, apologising to just helping myself. Claire is more than thankful when I bring one to her as I take my seat again.

"Why were you gone for so long?" Ness whispers to me as I take a huge mouthful of my drink. Best drink ever.

"I had to pee." I made an excuse, although she knew I was lying. I didn't care. The next thing that happens has me even more shocked than how Claire keeps singing along with the song and then humming when she doesn't know the lyrics. The scraping of the camping chair Jacob drags over alerts me and I flick my head up.

"Hi Jacob!" Claire screeches and he just gives her a nod as Seth attempts to shut her up.

"Seth, Claire, Renesmee." The way he says Ness' full name makes her cheeks heat up and a smile on Jacob's lips is almost there, almost. "Rose?" He draws my attention back to him, and he is actually speaking to me.

"Yes, Jacob." I look at him, my eyes flickering to Paul coming back outside, back to Jacob.

"I have a question." He starts and I nod giving him the go. He drags my chair that I'm sharing with Ness closer and leans in to whisper to me. "Why has Paul been sitting with you at lunch?"

"Dunno, he just randomly came at sat with us one day and hasn't bothered moving back. Why?" I speak normal volume, because I have nothing to hide. Well, I do, but I'm not showing it.

"Because, he…" He pauses and looks up from his beer bottle he has been staring at intently for the past minute or so. "Never mind." His eyes hold so much…pain? Worry? I don't know. But no anger. It was strange. I down the rest of my drink and place it on the ground.

"You should really eat something Claire, I don't think drinking on an empty stomach is smart." Seth's voice is in concerned boyfriend mode and I smile as I spin my bottle round. I start laughing as memories of games of spin the bottle pop into my head.

"Oh, shut up!" Claire slaps Seth away and looks at me. "It stopped on me! Now we have to kiss." Claire stands up and grabs my face, planting a kiss, thank god, on my forehead.

"Thanks, Claire." I laugh along with her as she takes her seat.

"My turn!" She screams as she grabs the bottle. "Wait, everyone has to play." She pushes Jacob back so he's sitting next to Seth and in about thirty seconds she has everyone sitting on camping chairs in a circle with the fire off to one side. The circle order from me clockwise goes; Me, Ness, Claire, Seth, Jacob, Katie sitting on Collin's lap, Jared, Paul, the two guys from gym, Brady and Leah on my right. I can't believe we are actually doing this, but everyone seems either extremely tipsy, like myself because I can't help the random giggles from escaping, or drunk. Ness, Seth and Jacob seem to be the only ones that are close to sober. Ness and Seth's reasons are quite understandable, but Jacob's is not.

"Alright, who's going first?" Leah shouts holding my empty bottle in her hands.

"Me, me." Claire jumps up and grabs the bottle. I take a quick look at Seth and he looks a little upset. But hey, it's only spin-the-bottle. Claire sits back down on her chair and spins the bottle on the ground. It spins and spins, landing on… guy from gym, Josh. Claire jumps up smiling kind of funnily before giving Josh a quick peck. I take a concerned look at Seth who was focusing on the fire a little too much. Josh takes his turn, spinning the bottle. He stops it abruptly.

"Wait, what if it lands on a dude?" His question spikes up a chorus of laughter.

"You have to do it. It's only fair if I spin it on another chick." I say and all the guy's eyes land on me. I just laugh and seems like Josh is ready for some girl-on-girl action because he spins the bottle with more force this time, without stopping it. Everyone cracks up laughing as it lands on Brady. They both awkwardly stand up with embarrassed smiles on their faces, everyone stares at them and begins chanting, 'Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.' So, they did. And it was hilarious, I couldn't help myself from almost falling out of my chair. Plus, it was kind of hot too. Brady snatches up the bottle as it is his go.

"Please, God, if you love me. Please, don't let it land on another dude." He mockingly prays, looking up at the sky with his hands together in front of him as he spins the bottle.

"Oh, joy." Leah exclaims as it stops on her. She gets up off her seat and plants her ass on Brady's lap. Kissing him quickly, she goes back to her seat. I look over at Jacob to see his expression and he's staring at someone else. I follow his line of sight to Ness, who is still staring at the bottle on the ground before Leah snags it. She spins and I felt kind of sad when it lands on an overly happy Paul. I felt kind of…jealous. I quickly snapped myself out of it after the quick kiss and again I had a peek at Jacob who didn't seem interested in the game at all. A few people were still in conversation and the music changed to something a little more upbeat. It made my leg start shaking.

"Sweet as, my go." He stares at me while speaking and quickly blows on the bottle. "For good luck." He bends down to place the bottle on the ground and sends it in a clockwise spin. It's as if God wants to punish me and it lands on well, me. I roll my eyes at Paul and I stand up hesitantly. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jacob's face, shock written all over it. Paul comes over to me, a little too quickly.

"Hey." He speaks softly as he places a warm hand on my waist, pulling me closer so my body is flush up against his.

"Hi." I kind of mumble, because my lips aren't really working for speaking.

"Just kiss already!" Someone screams and Paul's lips are on mine again like they were in the kitchen. His lips don't move and I suck his bottom lip in my mouth and I can tell he's holding back a groan. Before he can even open his eyes I pull away snatching up the bottle from the ground and sit back down. His shocked face makes me giggle and people yell at him to sit back down.

"Sit down you pussy!" Jared laughs and punches Paul in the shoulder as he takes his seat.

"Okay." I say and flick my wrist, gyrating the bottle clockwise. It seems to spin forever and I have to look away as the circular motion makes my head dizzy. The boy's cheers and whistles tell me it's landed on a chick. I look at the bottle and my head flicks up to see the shy smile of Katie. I laugh and meet her half way. Kissing a girl is not something new to me. Alice and I were always dared when we were drunk and it didn't matter because of how close we were. It's over quickly, thankfully and all the guys make audible sighs.

"Oh, do it again!" Of course Jared says that. I flip him the finger as Katie takes her turn. The scared, and surprised mixed with glee look on her face most likely matches Jacob's. She stands up kind of hesitantly as Jacob matches her movements. Collin gives her a push as she just sort of stands there. They kiss kind of awkwardly and the smile on her face does not match Jacob's look of distaste on his face. Poor girl. Stupid prick.

"Childish games." He mutters before picking up the bottle and I'm sure only a few of us heard that comment. He spins it quickly and I watch his face instead of the bottle. He looks kind of upset. I wonder about what as louder cheers come from the people around me. I look around and suddenly all eyes are on me. Me? Fuck. No. I look at Jacob who just stares at the bottle with a completely different facial expression than before. His face is scrunched up and he's scowling at the bottle. I look at the stupid bottle and it confirms the cheers and clapping from the group. Fuck, no fucking way.

"Shit, you have to kiss your sister." Leah scoffs and covers her mouth as she laughs her ugly face off.

"Stepsister." Jacob corrects her and his head snaps up and our eyes lock. No.

"Do it." Jared encourages us.

"No." Jacob roars back and I agree.

"No, fucking way." Jacob's eyes snap back to mine.

"Come on. It's just a kiss." I really wish I had a staple gun to staple Jared's stupid mouth shut. "It's not like you are really related."

"Do it!" Claire screams. "Else you two are just party poopers." Seth grabs her and clamps a hand to her big mouth.

"Do it, do it, do it." Everyone begins chanting, even Paul. Which surprises me. A lot. I give Jacob a look and he just shrugs. I shrug back and uncross my legs but I just can't make myself stand up. Jacob steadies his hands on the armrests and pushes himself up, and my legs seem to find their bearings and I stand up also.

"Shit they're going to do it!" Brady, or someone pipes in. I can't tell because my eyes can't look away from Jacob. It's strange. I can't look away…not that I wanted to. I take the first step and he follows my movement with about five of his own. In his five strides he comes face-to-face with me.

"I hate you." He whispers to me.

"I hate you, too." I whisper back and smile.

"Kiss her already!" Someone screams and I don't really care because as soon as Jacob's lips touch mine, they're all I think about. Weird, wrong, so very, very wrong! As an instinct to when someone is kissing me I reach out to touch his face, he grabs my hand and pulls it away, and his grip on my hand is rough and tight. It almost hurts.

I don't hear the cheers surrounding me, and the kiss is over quickly. Jacob's the one to pull back and his face looks angry, but his eyes speak the truth. Confusion.

"Alright, Rose's turn again!" Paul's voice startles me and I look away from the emotion in Jacob's eyes to the bottle on the floor. Jacob steps away and sits back down as I spin the bottle. I don't really know or care who it lands on.

"Yeah, my turn to lay one on the blonde!" Jared jumps up and I sink further into my chair.

"Fuck." I half sigh, half groan when Jared pulls me up and just lays one on me. His lips are chapped and feel nothing like Jacob's. And once he tries to shove his tongue in I'm just about to knee him in the ball sack. I push him off me.

"No tongue you creep!" He stumbles back slightly before shrugging and taking up the bottle. I sit down with a huff and Leah turns to me.

"Don't worry about him. He's just a prick. And, wow, I didn't think Jacob would actually do it." Leah's words sting a little and I just agree with her.

As the bottle stops spinning I just want to do what I was thinking about before involving my knee and Jared's man bits. Renesmee looks like a deer caught in headlights.

"Oh, no." I gasp slightly and grab a hold of Ness' hand. I lean in close to whisper to her. "You don't have to do it if you don't want to."

She looks at me with a new sense of self-confidence. "Yeah, but I kind of want to." She smiles and stands up.

"Come here, Renesmee. I promise I won't bite." Jared teases her and she takes small, tentative steps through the circle to Jared. Did you realise how he said 'won't' not 'don't'. Prick.

But, someone must be feeling the bad vibes about Jared like I am as he reaches out to touch Ness;

"Stop, don't touch her!" Jacob grabs on to Ness' sleave, pulling her away from Jared. I don't know why or how, but I find myself suddenly out of my seat.

"What's your problem, Jacob?" Jared asks, shoving Jacob slightly and he lets go of Ness' sleeve and she just stands in between the two guys with a frightened look on her face.

"I don't have a problem. I just didn't like you kissing Rosalie and now I would appreciate it if you didn't kiss Renesmee. Kiss Leah for all I care, just don't touch Renesmee." Jacob's protective flare shocks me and everyone else around the fire. Renesmee looks at Jacob like he's her saviour or something.

"What the fuck, man? Do you like her or something? And it's just a kiss, it doesn't mean anything." Jared gives Jacob another shove, around Renesmee.

"Both of you just settle down." Collin steps in as Jacob looks like he's about to throw a punch. I kind of wish he did.

"Fuck off, Collin." Jacob snares, but his eyes wont leave Jared's.

"Jacob, come on man. Jared didn't mean it." Paul comes in and everyone else just watches. Jacob still won't look away from Jared's face.

"Yeah, man. I didn't mean to kiss your stepsister and then try to kiss your sister's old best friend. And when you leave I wont mean to take your little chicks and fuck them both like they were in my room the other afternoon." Jared pushes Jacob further and steam is practically fuming out of Jacob's ears. "Hit me. I know you want to." I know there is more than just this behind the two guy's relationship. Jacob wouldn't get angry over just this. I can't just stand back and watch them fight, especially not with Ness in between the mess.

"Ness, come on. I don't think you being here is helping." I grab on to her arm and Jacob's eyes flicker to me, giving me a nod. I pass Ness on to Leah who takes her inside with Katie, Seth and Claire.

"So what, you guys are protecting me from her now?" Jared laughs. "She's going come crawling back later asking for that kiss and more." Jacob's fist couldn't have gotten to Jared's face fast enough and Jared stumbles, falling back on his ass.

"Talk about her that way again and I promise you won't be able to open your fucking mouth again." Jacob starts yelling as Collin and Brady flag him, grabbing on to each of his arms.

"Just chill, Jacob. He isn't going to touch Ness, are you Jared?" Paul steps in, calming the situation. Jared's holding on to his jaw as blood slowly trickles from his nose. He nods, still dazed from the hit.

"Get off me!" Jacob pushes back from them. Brady and Collin drop there hands from him and he steps back around to Jared. He squats next to Jared, who sits up levelling with him.

"I thought we were friends, dude." Jared mumbles through his hand.

"You thought wrong." Jacob stands up and steps towards me. "Are you okay?" His question confuses me and I answer after a couple of seconds of being glared at.

"I'm fine. But I think you need to go inside and talk to Ness." He nods and grabs on to my hand, pulling me with him to the house. Paul follows.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Jacob?" Leah starts as soon as we get inside. Ness is looking extremely scared and shocked about what just happened and Seth is comforting her on the couch. Claire is passed out on the opposite couch and Katie is standing in the corner looking like she's about to cry.

"Not now, Leah. I'm not in the mood." Jacob walks straight past her and takes a seat next to Ness.

"Fine." She leaves us in the lounge room and heads to the kitchen. Seconds later she walks outside with an ice pack. Smart girl.

"Are you okay?" Jacob asks Renesmee who just stares at him with wide eyes.

"Yes." She answers softly and Jacob lets out a breath as he leans forward placing his hands on his knees and his head on his hands. Ness reaches out her hand and pats him on the back and his body immediately relaxes under her touch.

"They used to be best friends." Paul whispers behind me and I look at him.

"Was she friends with Jacob's sister?" I ask and he nods. His soft upset facial expression makes my heart sink. That sort of explains Jacob's behaviour. Collin and Brady's loud entrance makes Jacob stiffen and he sits up abruptly.

"Come on, Katie. I have to get you home before your parent's freak." Collin walks over to Katie, grabbing her hand and soon the three of them leave with quick 'good byes' and 'see yous'.
After Collin, Brady and Katie leave, Josh comes in and tells us that he's driving Jared home.

"Rose," When Jacob addresses me directly, I'm slightly shocked. "Do you mind if I take Renesmee home?" Sadness covers his eyes and he's almost pleading with me.

"That's okay. If Ness doesn't mind." I look at Ness and she smiles while nodding. They leave as Leah walks back in. Jacob looks straight past her as he holds on to Ness' hand. And she's more than happy now.

Paul tugs on my hand, "Come on. I'll drive you home." I hand him my keys.

"We'll go in my car." I walk over to Seth and give him a quick hug goodbye and laugh when I see Claire completely knocked out on the couch. "Look after her." I tell Seth. I walk into the kitchen and say goodbye to Leah.

"Yeah, bye." She snaps and she's obviously pissed about how Jacob reacted. Particularly when he said that he wouldn't care if Jared kissed her.

Once in the safety of my car, Paul starts the engine and he takes me home. On the way I ask him to pull over.

"Okay, spill."

So, got some big questions? Does this confuse you? Well, the next chapter will confuse you even further! mwahaha. Okay, evil laughs don't work on me. How about a giggle? Hehe.
Wouldn't you just love to get inside Jacob's head right now? Or how about Renesmee's? Or Paul's? Or perhaps the disgusting mind of Jared?
Oh, I know I'm not supposed to base characters on real people...but Jared reminds me of this guy I...kind of...but not really...dated...douche bag. Anyway, his pathetic and disgusting behaviour that Rose describes is pretty much my interpretation of this real person. But shhh...
Anyway, let me hear you! REVIEW!
