Chapter 10

"I'm sorry," he said quietly, still not facing me. He looked out to the water with his back turned to me and ran his hand over his face. He was sorry. Sorry about what? Did he regret what we just did? A feeling of rejection ran through me and I sighed. I slowly stood up.

"It's okay. I understand," I said and I did. Of course he didn't want me that way. It was stupid to even believe it. Jake turned around and his eyes met mine.

"What?" he asked, looking confused. I sighed and dropped his gaze to looked at the ground, and kicked the sand lightly with my foot.

"I.. I mean... I mean I guess I know why you regret what we just did... but I mean.. we did it before… I guess you just don't want me like that, but I mean, I guess I understand.." I said babbling. When I looked up, Jake looked at me like I had three heads.

"What do you mean 'I guess you just don't want me like that?'" He said softly. I shrugged and kicked the sand again.

"Dunno.."

"Ness," He said softly. He picked up my left hand from my side and brought it to his mouth. He kissed the finger with my engagement ring on it and brought his other hand under my chin to make me look at him. "Of course I want you like that you silly girl," He said sweetly. I sighed and pulled away.

"No, you're just saying that," I sighed, looking down at the sand. Jake had frowned when I pulled away but a whole different kind of hurt spread over his face when I spoke.

"I'd never lie to you," he said, quietly. I wasn't really sure what to say to that. We were both pretty quiet for a moment. "Do you remember… that day… in Kacey's room?" Jake said, slowly, almost cautiously. I tried to think of what he was talking about. I spent so much time over at Kacey's house; she was my best friend. How was I supposed to know when he was talking about? He must have realized that I hadn't remembered because he continued. "You know… that day…" he sighed and I noticed the little red tint to his cheeks. "When I.. told you I wanted you… that way…" When he spoke it, had all come back.

Not too long ago, Jake and I were doing.. well… sort of what we were just doing moments ago. I had gotten caught up in the moment and went for the button of his pants. He pulled away and I felt the same rejection I feel right now. We went to Kacey's so I could talk to her and she told me to speak with Jake. We had gone up to Kacey's room and I voiced my thoughts on how he didn't want me like that but he denied it.

I nodded, the day coming back to my memory and looked up.

"I wasn't lying that day," he said. Looking into his eyes, I could tell that he was telling the truth. As I remembered back to that day he was talking about, I remember how honest he was to me. But that doesn't mean things haven't changed.

"Then why'd you say sorry?" I asked confused. He sighed.

"Remember the promise?" He stated simply. I threw my head back. Stupid dad. I brought my head back up and looked at him.

"Technically, we weren't breaking any promise." I told him. "We were just kissing," I said, smirking. He chuckled a little.

"I'm pretty sure your dad would classify that as more than just kissing," he said. "Especially when you're wearing that," he mumbled.

"Hey! Blame Alice for this," I said.

"Oh I do," he said, sighing. I looked at him and frowned.

"I'm sorry this is so hard for you," I said, quietly. I feel like I made the decision with my dad without even talking to Jake about it. Jake shook his head and looked into my eyes.

"It's fine. It's totally worth it," he said, softly. I smiled and walked toward him. I pecked him on the lips.

"Love you." I told him. He smiled and kissed me back.

"Love you too." I smiled at him. I looked down at my engagement ring, (which by the way I did not wear in the water, because I'm not that stupid, I kept it in our beach bag in the pretty little box it came in) and smiled again. I still couldn't believe I was getting married to Jake! It did set in and I was overly excited, but I still couldn't grasp that the fact that the guy I loved since I was practically 13 was with me.

When we got back to where everyone else was, Embry bound over to us.

"Jake, I'm hungry," he whined. I looked at him and laughed. Jake thought for a moment.

"It is lunch time," he pointed out. He turned to me. "Wanna order a pizza?" I nodded, not wanting today to end and school to begin tomorrow. "Okay with you Embry?" Jake turned to Embry who smiled.

"Sure, but you're paying Mr. Fiancé," he said, chuckling. Jake rolled his eyes and pulled me down to our towel and onto his lap as he pulled out his phone. I leaned back into his warm chest as Jake dialed and ordered a few large pizzas. He hung up the phone and smiled at me before turning to Kacey and Logan.

"Pizza's okay for you, right, Logan?" Jake asked. Logan nodded. "And I know Paul will eat anything," Jake smirked. Paul laughed loudly, lying down next to Rachel. I laughed and Jake wrapped his arm around me so his hands were resting on my waist. I shuddered a little from his warm hands and leaned back into him. I smiled and looked over at Kacey who was actually having a conversation with Paul. I raised my eyebrow at her and she just shrugged. I tilted my head up and placed a kiss under Jake's chin to get his attention. He looked down at me.

"Looks like Kacey made friends with Paul." I said quietly so he could only hear. His eyes looked towards them, then back down at me and smiled.

"Good, I was hoping she would be okay.." He said and placed a small kiss on my lips. I giggled when he pulled away.

"Oh for the love of god.." I heard Embry say. I looked up at him.

"What Emmy! Lonely much?" I teased, raising an eyebrow. He rolled his eyes.

"Sure, sure Ness," He said and stuck his tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes and leaned back into Jake. Kacey stood up and dusted her pants off. Logan gave her a confused glance.

"Uh, Ness, wanna go walk on the beach?" She asked. I nodded and kissed Jake on the cheek before following Kacey down to the water.

"What's up?" I asked. She shrugged.

"Nothing, I just wanted to walk.." She answered. I laughed. She smiled and looked over her shoulder to Jake, Logan, Paul, and Rachel for a second. I followed her glance and noticed Logan smiling at her. I giggled and watched her turn back around with a little smile on her face.

"I can't believe you're getting married," I said, looking down at the way the sand sunk when I stepped into it.

"Right back atcha," she said, smiling. I could see a couple of guys up ahead, playing football with each other. "So what'd you and Jake do on your little walk?" She asked, smirking. I felt my cheeks become slightly warm and I bit my lip.

"Just talked," I lied.

"Mhhm," she said, sarcastically. "You're a crappy liar Ness."

"I so am n-Omph!" My body crashed to the sand as one of the football player guys ran backwards into me.

"Damn it, I am so sorry," the guy said, pulling himself off of me and holding his hand out to help me up. I took it and he pulled me back to my feet. I blinked a few times. Darn my mother and her klutzy human self. I opened my eyes back up and a sudden dizziness came over me and I almost fell back down onto the sand but the guy grabbed my waist, keeping me up. "Woah, hey, are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded, blinking a few more times, trying to make the world around me still.

"Yeah, I... sorry," I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it," he said softly. I realized his hand was still holding onto my waist and he was too close for comfort. "Ryan," he said, smiling at me and Kacey.

"Kacey," Kacey said, watching the guy, cautiously.

"Renesmee," I said, taking a step back, trying to get out of Ryan's grasp but he just stepped with me, getting closer.

"Renesmee's a very pretty name," he said quietly, with his breath hitting my face. He smiled, turning to Kacey. "So's Kacey."

"Thanks," Kacey said, crossing her arms over her chest. "You should know we're both already taken," she added, boldly. I wasn't really sure what to say.

"Hmm," Ryan looked around behind us. "Well I don't see any of your boyfriends," he smirked, pulling me closer to him. I swallowed.

"Well you obviously need glasses," I heard a familiar voice speak from behind us. I had just enough room to see Logan walking over to us, glaring at Ryan. Ryan looked over to Logan and took his hand off of me, holding them up in the air.

"Look I don't have any problem with you. Just looking for some fun. So how about you take one, I'll have the other?" He said. "I'm willing to share." He winked at me and I had to resist the urge to throw up. This felt all too familiar and I hated it.

"Well I'm not," Logan said, still glaring at Ryan. Logan switched his eyes to Kacey and us and his eyes softened. "Lunch is here." He started to pull me and Kacey with him, walking away from Ryan.

"Oh come on! Leave one," he said. "Preferable the one with the hot bathing suit," he said. I groaned and Logan pulled me in front of him so he was blocking me from Ryan's view. I groaned again when I heard him shout again.

"C'mon man! I just want some fun!" I looked at Kacey and we both scrunched our noses in disgust.

"Eww." I muttered. Logan moved so I was on one side of him and Kacey was on the other and wrapped his arms around both of our shoulders, in a friendly way.

"Thanks Logan" I told him. He smiled and nodded. When we reached everyone, Logan dropped his arm around me and wrapped his arms around Kacey's waist.

"You okay?" he asked quietly, looking into her eyes. She nodded and smiled a little. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. I smiled at them a bit and saw Jake out of the corner of my eyes. I ran as fast as I could over to him, practically jumping into his arms and crashed my lips onto his.

"Mmm," he mumbled the second our lips met. When I pulled back, he looked completely confused. "What was that?" He asked me. I rested my forehead against his chest, breathing slowly and listening to his heart beating. "Ness, you're freaking me out."

"Some jerk was hitting on me and Kacey and-"

"What?" Jake yelled and turned to Logan who immediately hid behind Kacey who couldn't control her laughter.

"No no!" I said, pulling him back to look at me. "Logan showed up and pulled me and her away," I said. He relaxed and I leaned back into him.

"Thank you" He told Logan. Logan nodded, still a little hesitant. I giggled and he shot me a glare.

"What, you scared of the Big Bad Wolf?" I taunted. He ignored me and wrapped Kacey up in his arms. I noticed the pizza box in the middle of the sand and grinned.

"Pizza!" I shrieked. Kacey scrunched up her nose.

"Eww." She complained I rolled my eyes and shoved the piece I got out of the box close to her face. Kacey swatted at my slice of pizza, slipping it out of my hands and into the sand.

"Kacey," I moaned. She laughed and shook her head."You just wasted a perfectly good slice of pizza!" She just raised an eyebrow. Yeah, she didn't care. I sighed and shook my head as I bent down to grab another piece, not letting this one anywhere near my friend. She rolled her eyes as I began to eat my pizza. Hmph.

"So Ness, have any wedding plans? Dates, anything?" Rachel asked.

"Well-" I started but Jake cut me off.

"Really Rach, she's just as bad as Alice!" He whined. I smacked his chest, playfully.

"Hey, I'm so not as bad as her!" I defended. He smiled at me and grabbed another slice of pizza. "Well, as I was saying," I said to Rachel. "I've been trying to go through plans with my Aunt but she's keeping a lot of it a surprise, just asking me whether or not I like certain things," I said.

"Hm," Jake mumbled.

"What?" I looked at him. he shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh nothing," he smiled. I considered bugging him about it but decided against it.
