I know. I know. It has been WAY to long since I posted a new chapter for this story. I am so sorry. With school and work I just havent found the time. Again Sorry. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I think you will. I also know it is shorter then previous chapter but I wanted to get it up.
Bella's POV
Edward and I were walking together in the woods. We went for walks everyday. He wasn't saying much and I had a good idea of why.
"You don't think she should go with Jacob, Do you?" I said. He glanced over at me and smiled.
"You know me to well." Now I smiled.
"Yes I do."
"She is only sixteen. And she wants us to let her go over two thousand miles away with a boy." We came to a tree that had fallen sat down on it.
"She would be going with Jacob. He's not just any boy. He wouldn't let anything happen to her. And the pack loves Ness. You know that. I mean even Leah has grown to be civil and that is saying something."
"I'm not worried about her safety in La Push. I know she would be safe there. Its just..."
"What?"
"Weather Renesme realizes it or not she is in love with Jacob. We all see it. I don't know that I am comfortable with her going so far alone with him."
"Edward... They wont be alone all the time. Emily called and said Ness could stay with Sam and her. That she would keep an eye on them. I think it will be good for Ness to get away. All the stuff going on with Blake, Shea, and now these dreams about Jacob. I just think she needs this."
"Well we could take her on a mini-vacation. We could go anywhere just the three of us."
"And she would be miserable. She would constantly be worried that something happened to Jake. She is already stressing over this enough... And if god forbid something did happen to Jacob and we didn't let her go... I don't want to think of the consequences." Edward lowered his head. He knew I was right.
"Okay... She can go. But we have to lay down some rules for when she is gone. If she doesn't agree she doesn't go."
"Agreed." I said taking his hand. He put his arm around me and kissed me softly on the lips. We sat there for a few more minutes before heading home to tell Ness the good news.
Ness's POV
I was sitting at the dining room table cutting out pictures from magazines for a college I had to do for English. It was things that we love. Mom and dad came in and sat down at the table.
"Ness we want to talk to you." Dad said. I put the scissors down and looked up at them.
"Okay. What's up?"
"We talked about it and we will let you go with Jacob." Mom said. I was surprised. I thought they would say no.
"Seriously?" I said calmly before I got to excited.
"Yes." Dad said. I jumped up and threw my arms around both of them.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I kissed them both on the cheek.
"There are some rules." I didn't care. I was to happy. I sat back down and listened.
"Okay. What are they?"
"You will be staying with Emily and Sam. Not Jacob."
"Okay." I said. That was a little strange but whatever.
"You will call and check in twice a day. When you wake up and before you go to bed." Mom said.
"That's fine."
"And last but most important you can not be seen by Charlie. You have to be very sure of where he is at all times." Dad said
"Okay. I will I promise. Can I call Jake now or are there more rules?" I said excitedly. Mom and dad both smiled.
"Finish your homework then call Jacob. Oh and you two will be leaving Saturday morning." I nodded and got my homework finished as fast as I could. Then I called Jake.
"Yeah." He said when we answered.
"Hey Jake. So I got some news." I couldn't help the smile that was on my face.
"What's up?"
"I get to go with you to La Push." I heard something hit the floor.
"You okay Jake?"
"Y-Yeah. I just dropped my bowl. I cant believe they said yes." I knew he was smiling.
"I know. I was so shocked."
"That is awesome. It is going to be so much fun."
"I know. I can't wait. But anyways I just wanted to let you know. I am going to get to bed."
"Okay. I will see you tomorrow. Love you."
"Love you too." I said then hung up. I could hardly wait. By the end of the week I would be in La Push.
I was sitting at lunch with Chance and his football friends when the subject of fall break came up.
"What are your plans Ness?" Veronica asked.
"I am going to Washington."
"That's cool. That is were you lived before you moved here. Right?"
"Yeah. I am excited. I haven't been back in a while."
"Doesn't have family there too. Is he going?" Blake said. He clearly was trying to get under my skin.
"Yes. He is going."
"How long will you be gone?" Chance asked.
"A week. I am leaving Saturday morning."
"Oh okay. Well what time will you be back here?" I saw the disappointment in his eyes. He was upset that i was going to be gone basically all fall break.
"I think our returning flight arrives at 10:45. Maybe we could hang out that night. If you don't have plans." This brought a smile back to his face.
"Yeah. I would love that." Everyone else continued talking about there holiday plans during the rest of lunch.
Friday came really fast. I thought the week would have dragged on but it didnt. Chance wanted to hang out after school since I was leaving tomorrow morning so we were at his house sitting in his living room.
"Have you figured out what is going on with Shea?" He asked.
"No. I can barely get her to talk to me and if she does its hateful. I seriously don't know what's wrong."
"She'll come around. That is just Shea. She is a very strange girl."
"Yeah. Well I don't want to talk about her. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"
"Going to Anchorage. My grandparents live there. We have Thanksgiving and Christmas at there house every year."
"That will be fun."
"Yeah. It is. Every year we sit on this hugh rub they have in there living room and play bored games before dinner. It's a tradition. Same for Christmas."
"That is so cute. I can just picture it." Chance laughed. His mom walked into the room and sat down.
"Chance there is a hugh storm coming in. We going to have to leave here in a few hours so we can try and get to grandma and grandpa's before it hits.I know you were going to wait and come down later but I don't know that you will be able to make it if you dont come with us."
"But mom, Ness will be gone until next Saturday."
"I'm sorry sweetie, but your dad is already on his way home and we dont want to get stuck here for Thanksgiving. I'm sorry Ness."
"It's okay. I understand."
"If only my son was as understanding." She said in a teasing voice looking at Chance. He smiled.
"I understand. It just sucks."
"I know sweetie. You need to start getting packed." She said as she walked out of the room. Chance laid back on the couch.
"Sorry we only got to hang out for a couple of hours." I said leaning back against him.
"Me too. You could stay and help me pack." I couldn't see his face but I knew he was smiling and if I stayed there wouldn't be much packing done.
"I actually need to pack myself. So I probably should be going."
"Okay. I guess. Will you at least let me drive you home?" I twisted so I could see his face.
"I would love that." I said pecking him on the lips. We stood up and he told his mom he was going to drive me home then he would be back. I did have to pack. Well re-pack whatever Alice packed. She had great style but I like wearing comfortable things and my definition of comfortable and hers was completely different. We kissed a little before he drove up the long winding drive way. We said our goodbyes and he left.
"Hey Ness, I didn't think you would be home until later." Emmett said who was playing a video game with Jacob.
"Chance and his family had to leave early for Anchorage." I said as I sat down in the chair closest to Jacob who was on the couch.
"Oh okay." Emmett said.
"Are you packed?" I asked Jacob. He glanced at me.
"As a matter a fact I am. Are you?" He said.
"Yes and no. Yes if I just take whatever Alice packed. No if I go and pack stuff I will actually wear."
"You don't even know what I packed." Alice said from behind me. Coming in the open window with Jasper. I turned to her.
"I saw the suitcases this morning. I took a peek. Heals and I do not mix."
"Wear you get your taste in clothes from I will never know...Actually I do. Your mother."
"Not all of us can be a fashionista like you Alice." She laughed.
"I am going to pack real quick." I said getting up and running across the room and up the stairs at full speed. I was packed in about five minutes. I went back downstairs and hung out with my family for a few hours before going to bed. Jacob stayed in a guest room down the hall. We had an early flight and we didn't want to worry about him being late.
At 7:15 the next morning Jacob and I were boarding our plane to Seattle. Embry and Quil would pick us up at the airport and we would drive to La Push.
