Chapter 11. Prom and Studying

A/N: Just so you know I decided to be nice and at the end I will post links so you can look at the prom dresses. You don't know how hard it is for me to look at one instead of design one because I want to be a fashion designer. I did this for your visual perposes and it may not be what I think to be the perfect dress. Also after the last chapter seeveral people asked if it was the last chapter I just thought I'd let you know I will put the end when it's the end but this story is far from over. Thank you so much for reading so far, reviews are appreciated!

I woke up the next morning nice, refreshed, and peaceful. I could hear my family moving around outside and down stairs. It sounded like Emmett and Jasper were wrestling outside. I could hear them growling and laughing along with the sound of them hitting each other and knocking down a tree.

Then I laughed when I smiled when I heard Rosalie, "Boys if you knock over another tree Esme will kill you when she gets back from hunting with Carlisle." So apparently Aunt Rose was apparently watching my favorite uncles and my grandparents where hunting. I guess that left either my mother, father, or aunt would be the ones in the kitchen making food. Alice must have seen when I'd wake up.

I got up from my bed and looked at my clock. It read one o'clock that couldn't be right could it? I walked over to my window and pulled back the thick curtains. Sure enough the skin was high in the sky. Huh, I thought, how late was I out with Jake last night?

Then everything came back to me. The leaving the hospital, Alice fixing me up, the symphony, dancing, the proposal, telling everyone, and then telling my parents where I wanted to go to college. The perfect night must have lasted later then I thought it had, either that or I was standing in that doorway kissing Jake for a lot longer than I had thought.

Then my stomach growled and I decided it was time for me to go downstairs. I was still in my P.J.s, A tank top, some soffe shorts, and a cute pair of duck slippers. Okay so deep down I knew I was too old for duck slippers but the part of me that was an actual 7 year old wanted to keep them and if any 18 year old looking girl could pull them off it was me for sure.

As I rounded the door into the kitchen I could hear Emmett burst out into laughter. He was standing at the door that led outside. I was assuming that Jasper and him were done fighting but then he jumped out of view still laughing and collided with Jasper in the air. Oh how I love them I thought. My dad was sitting at the table reading the newspaper my mom on his lap.

It was weird and sweet seeing my parents together. I knew they loved each other and I knew they did it but that wasn't exactly something any daughter wants to think about. However when I looked at them I saw their unconditional love for each other and it warmed my heart. I saw my dad smile at my thoughts.

"Good morning sweetheart," he said looking up from the paper, "Oh and by the way," he added, "I like your slippers. There," he seemed at a loss of words, "Well you'll always look beautiful," he finished with a sincere smile on his face, my mother on his lap smiling at me too.

"Took the words right out of my mouth," Jake said wrapping his arms around me. This was a surprise I hadn't seen him when I first came down. I smiled and turned around tilting my head up to look at his face.

"When did you get here," I questioned.

"About an hour ago," he said, "I even made you breakfast, or well lunch whichever you prefer."

"All by himself too," my mother added smirking a little, "I didn't have to help him and he didn't burn it either," she continued then chuckled to herself. I was curious Jake wasn't exactly known for his cooking skills.

I looked back and him and said, "So what did you make me?"

He laughed, "Okay it's something super simple and one of the only things I can fix. A ham and cheese sandwich. I tried to at least make you a grilled ham and cheese, but well I did burn that one."

I laughed, "I love you anyway," I said getting up on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek. Then I walked over to the sandwich I now saw sitting on the table across from my parents with a glass of sweet tea at its side. I sat down and dug into the meal my fiancée had made for me and smiled.

Once I had finished eating and making small talk with my parents Alice came dancing in. "Finally you are done eating it took you forever I have to get you ready for prom come on now," she said taking my hand and pulling me towards the stairs then Aunt Rose ran in next to us.

"I get to do her hair this time," she growled and then laughed. "Fine," Aunt Alice grumbled and I laughed at their little exchange of words.

Once we were up stairs I had to sit in a chair for several hours letting rose mess with my hair and Alice does my makeup. Several times I thought they were done only to discover I had just gotten my hopes up and they had decided to start over. When they were finally through with me it was five thirty.

Alice and Rose weren't happy about their time. We had started at one thirty but at three thirty I asked for an hour break which put them an hour behind what they wanted. Oh well I guess that sucks for them. I had to say I loved the dress Alice had gotten me.

It was a SHERRI HILL dress. Very short, not even reaching halfway down my thigh but it wasn't skanky. The dress was fun, flirty, and sexy showing some leg. I was in 4 inch Miu Miu heels. They were black and simple in the front but the actual heel was great.

They started black at the top and then faded to a white and had black jewels around them. They were amazing and went great with the dress. The dress itself was great. It had a black sweet heart neckline. That part was simple, but right under your breasts it had a baby, baby pink with black detail fabric that continued onto the back. Coming out from under that was the greatest light pink tulle. It had black and white details covering the edge of the tulle, but all together the dress was perfect.

Since Aunt Alice knew I would be dancing she gave me some under armor to wear under the dress. Oh how I loved spandex I thought to myself and heard my dad chuckle from downstairs. I really did though. This would help me be able to actually dance and not have to worry about being in a dress. It all together allowed me to be myself.

I was still standing in front of the mirror. Alice hadn't given me a smoky eye this time but it was still dark. I had on very black eyeliner and mascara. Right under my eyebrow, on my creases, and under my eye a little was a white shimmery shadow. On my actual lid and going up some to blend with the white was a black shadow. I had on a light blush and my lips were a light pink today.

Even though I didn't enjoy sitting in a chair for three hours the end results were absolutely amazing! Aunt Rose had done my hair several different ways. Once it was slicked back into a low pony and as soon as she did it she knew it wasn't right. She had also tried curly side pony, straight with a poof pony, and a bun but none of them were right. Eventually I spoke up and asked, "Why do you keep putting my hair up?"

I was right of course. Right now it was curly and hanging freely. It matched my amazing mood. I had on a few black bracelets on my right wrist, one black anklet Aunt Alice had gotten me a while back, and a simple black chain that didn't hang to low or too high and it had a little wolf on it. Obviously Jake had gotten me that one. I was also wearing another thing Jake had got me, my engagement ring.

Oh what my friends will say I thought as I rounded the corner to walk down the stairs. I could see Jake waiting for me. He was in a nice grey tux, a black vest underneath. Even though grey wasn't a prominent part in my dress you could tell that he was my date. All a part of Alice's perfect planning.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs Jake smiled. "You look beautiful," he said coming to kiss me on the cheek. I smiled, "Thanks," I said blushing. Then he pulled something out from behind his back it was a corsage. It was white and black and very pretty. "Thank you," I said smiling and held out my left hand for Jake to slide it onto my wrist.

Once the corsage was in place there were many pictures taken by my parents, aunts, and grandparents. Jake and I smiled and played along taking some silly pictures along with the sweeter ones. Also some romantic ones because who knows these could be our engagement pictures. At six the limo showed up and Jake and I left with a have fun from every member of my family.

Once Jake and I had arrived at the hotel were prom was being held everything was a buzz. We walked in and Usher's 'OMG' was playing some were on the dance floor but most were either just standing around or sitting some were eating. What party killers! Surely they will play some good dancing music later I thought. I walked over to a table, Jake in tow, where my best friend from school was sitting.

"Malyssa," I squealed running over to hug her I hadn't seen her in weeks.

When I got to her she hugged me tightly then she said, "Well look who we have here. Miss Nessie Cullen finally showin' her face around here!" I laughed, Malyssa had a country accent because she was from Kentucky, and in fact last I heard she would be going to school at the University of Kentucky.

Malyssa was wearing a baby doll dress similar to mine. It was leopard print on top, with a hot pink ribbon and bow under that. The bottom of her dress was also tulle with tan on bottom and brown on top. Her hair was poofed up and slicked back into a high and perky ponytail. It worked on her, not me.

We sat down and started talking. She was sitting next to her date, another one of my friends. His name was Richard but we all called him Richie most of the time, he hated it but we thought it was funny. Richie was in a brown tux and his vest was leopard print to match Malyssa's dress.

As we were talking about the reasons I had been gone, me keeping up my story, I ran my left hand through my hair and Malyssa said, "Let me look at your corsage." She took hold of my left hand and then noticed the ring on my finger.

"No," she exclaimed looking up in shock and I nodded, "He didn't," she went on and I nodded again probably looking like an idiot.

"What the hell," she squealed pulling me into a hug then she pulled away and held my shoulders. "When did this happen? How did he do it? Speaking of do it you aren't knocked up are you?"

"No," I yelled.

"Oh good," she said relief washing over her features. "Can I tell everyone," she moaned.

"Sure," I smiled, "as soon as they get here you can tell them."

"Yea," she smiled and hugged me again then she hugged Jake. "I'm so happy for you too."

Just as she was saying that the rest of my friends came in. They all looked great. Of course. My friends and I always dressed the best, not because we were the richest but because we liked to look good. "Nessie, Lyssa," my friend Nawtia, or Tia called out.

Tia was wearing a long black skirt and a red, flaring, sweetheart top. The top had a black bow on the right. The whole ensemble reminded me of a mermaid dress. It was very vintage and she looked like she should be walking down a grand stair case on the Titanic or something. Tia has always been glamour's and wished she was born in a different time period.

Behind her came the rest of my friends; Addison or Addie, Charlotte, Breanna or Bre, Aurora, and Racquel. They all had dates and looked amazing because that is just my friends for you. They had all made sure that their boyfriends and dates had on matching tuxes and vests.

Addie was in an all white, sweetheart cocktail dress. There was a mint green satin waistband with jewels on the left side to add a little pop. All together she looked amazing.

Charlotte was in a stunning red dress. The simple part that just hugged her tightly was covered by a red wrap that matched. Part covered her shoulder and the end hung freely after having jewels that connected it to the dress right above her hip. I wasn't quite sure it was meant for prom but it worked for her and she looked great.

Breanna was wearing something simple and casual that I personally wouldn't have picked for prom, then again I wouldn't have picked Tia's dress either. Bre's dress was all black and had strips hugging her tightly. The top part was kind of flowing covering her arms and shoulders with a v-neck in front and back.

Then there was Aurora's dress. She has always been one for attention and she looked amazing. She was in a long gown, but boy was this gown something else. It was made of what looked like what they use to make disco balls but still moved effortlessly. It also had a sweetheart neckline. On the left leg there was a long slit that came up to the middle of her thigh showing off her legs. All in all she looked like a super model and I told her that.

Racquel also looked stunning. She was also in a long gown. Hers was made out of all black sequences. The back of the dress was my favorite with the fabric draping down and it looked amazing against her pale skin. The front was high-necked and razorback but it the front.

All of my friends looked great and there dresses matched their tastes. I was glad I wasn't the only one of my friends who was pale though. Tia, Charlotte, and Racquel were also porcelain and it made me less self-conscious when I was with them. I know it may sound vain but it's true.

When all my friends eventually got to our table they all hugged me and asked where I had been and all those questions. I was having tone of fun. Malyssa had asked me to keep my engagement ring hidden and I was but I didn't understand why. Then as we were all finishing up some cake about to head onto the dance floor Malyssa said she had some news.

"So," Malyssa started, "Do yall want to hear the news or not?"

"Just spit it out Lyssa," Bre and Addie yelled at the same time.

"Alright so my news is," she said grabbing my arm under the table, "Nessie is engaged," she squealed lifting my hand up from under the table. After that there were various responses from the other 12 people who didn't know sitting at the table. Some like 'Oh my gosh', 'What the hell?', and 'Are you for real?' just to name a few.

I explained to everyone all the details and what not and they were all thrilled for me. Eventually we got up and started dancing. They played all the best group dancing songs like ChaCha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Soulja Boy (Crank That), and many other that had come around over the years. At one point while we were on the dance floor it was all the girls and they kicked me off when Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' came on. Charlotte said, "Your man liked it so he did put a ring on it." I must say Jake and I did get a good laugh at that one.

I was at home now about to fall asleep, after all of my girlfriends started freaking out about finals this coming week I decided I would study with them at Racquel's house the next day. Jake was going to drop me off and then I would just get a ride from Bre's boyfriend. It didn't bother me because he was Bre's boyfriend. The next day would be fun and I couldn't wait...

A/N: Just so you know this is the next day. I don't know how you felt about prom I didn't put too much detail into it and I'm sorry but it had to be there so you could meet Nessie's friends. Those names are real by the way I found them all on a baby name website. I did however spell Melissa different than usual so here nickname could be Lyssa. It is an inside thing. Links for the dresses later I'll let you get back to the story. Sorry hope you like the next part though. R&R please:)

"I'm ready," I called down the stairs knowing Jake could hear me. I headed for the stairs wearing a denim skirt, over sized shirt with a belt, and short black high heeled boots.

"You're wearing that," Jake questioned me.

"Yes," I said a little annoyed who was he to say what I should wear?

"Really, because you look to sexy for your own good," he said coming to wrap his arms around me.

"Oh please," I said, "It's just me and some girlfriends studying no need to get all worked up."

"Some of their boyfriends will be there," he said frowning. I put my hand on his chest showing him images of my friends and how happy they were with their boyfriends.

"I'm engaged and they know that," I said smirking.

"Yes well that doesn't mean they should be able to look at you. That's my job," he whispered in my ear and a chill ran down my spine.

"I know it is," I said sliding my hands under his shirt so I could feel his muscles on my finger tips, "but really is it that bad? They get to look but you get to touch," I whispered and then his hands cradled my face and we were kissing. I was about to deepen the kiss but then I heard my dad clear his throat.

"You are going to be late," he said with a look of disgust on his face.

"Oh your right dad," I said pulling away from Jake blushing a bright red, "I guess will be going then." I walked over to dad and kissed him on the cheek and then grabbed Jake's hand pulling him to the door. I called out a, "Bye every one," over my shoulder and was out the door.

Once we were in the car Jake and I talked all the way to Racquel's house. When we arrived he told me he could pick me up but I told him to go home and go to sleep, that I would get a ride. He gave me a quick kiss and told me to 'Be Safe' and I laughed.

I was inside now helping Bre and her boyfriend (well she had just met him a week ago this was their second date, first being the prom) Ben with math.

"See it's not that hard," I exclaimed.

"Easy for you to say," Bre whined, "you are good in every single subject! Even P.E., I mean who the hell gives a damn in P.E.?"

"Breanna, this is back from pre algebra! To find the hypotenuse you use a2 + b2, which are the two legs find the square root of that and you get c2, or in other words the answer."

"Ugh," she groaned, "How am I ever going to get this?"

"I promise this probably won't even be on finials!"

"How do you know? I'm going to have to stay up all night studying," she complained.

"Oh yea and fall asleep during the middle of finals. That's real bright!"

"Breanna come here I need your help with history," Racquel yelled, "and Nessie you should probably get going its midnight. Everybody else already left and Bre is staying the night. We are pulling an all nighter."

I got up and laughed, "I really don't think that is wise of you too."

"Oh well," Bre said, "We will do what we do. Hey Ben can you give Nessie a ride home."

"Sure," he said in his low mono tone. I didn't see what Bre saw in him. My guess was that she had really needed a date for the dance. Ben was scruffy and a total drag. He didn't talk unless he was spoken to and even then only what was totally needed.

We had been driving in his car for ten minutes. He hadn't said a word to me. Actually when we first got in he asked for the general location of my home, but other than that nothing. He had some determined look on his face like he was planning something. Then all of the sudden he pulled over.

"What are you doing," I asked.

Ben sighed. He was staring forward looking out the window. His hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. Then all of the sudden he put his hands on my shoulders and he had pushed me into a kind of laying position. His car didn't have seatbelt and I hadn't thought anything about it but I wish I had.

He was lying on top of me and I could feel his breathe on my face. "What are you doing," I asked. "Get off of me," I said trying to push him off of me with my left arm. I was kind of lying on top of my right arm, my left still weak from the crash. "Get off," I screamed giving another push, it really sucked that I was part human.

"I'm just trying to let you have a little fun before you get married," he said in a voice that made the hairs on my back stand up. "I bet you fiancée never does this," he said and yanked my hair and I screeched.

"Please get off of me," I said beginning to cry, "Just get off of me."

"Not a chance," he whispered and then so quickly I'm not sure how it happened he had pulled down my skirt and I yelled, "STOP," at the top of my lungs and he laughed. He started kissing my neck and then he yanked at my shirt pulling it up almost off only for him to discover that he couldn't get it through my arms without releasing me. He could see my bra though which meant my boobs were in easy view.

I used his momentary distraction to hit my hard head against his. I could tell I hurt him and opened the door behind me and I fell out onto my back. I got up grabbing my purse as I did and ran into the woods crying. Once I knew I was a safe distance away from Ben I got my phone out of my bag and called Jake.

"Hello," he said his voice heavy with sleep.

"Jake," I cried, "Oh Jake. Please, please come get me, help me," I cried into the phone.

"What happened," he asked instantly alert, "Where are you I'm coming to get you." I could hear him up and moving around, different doors opening.

"About 6 or so miles from the house. I'll walk to the highway. Jake I'm hiding in the woods. Ben tried to rape me," I cried.

"He WHAT,"I heard him roar and then call 'Edward' away from the phone. I heard my dad come into the room growling with rage. "Get to the highway. I'm coming, I love you," he said before hanging up the phone.

I started running for the highway. I was a mess. I could feel my mascara running, my shirt wasn't in place, and neither was my skirt. I was still crying and didn't think I would be stopping any time soon. Then I saw the headlights of Jake's Vanquish and Uncle Emmett's jeep.

Jake got out of the car running over to me and taking in my appearance. "Oh Nessie," he said pulling me into his arms. "I'm so, so so sorry," he murmured against my hair. As he held me I jumped up straddling his waist to rest my head on his shoulder. Remarkably at this moment I didn't want him to kiss me. I just wanted him to hold me in his arms just hold me.

Since my head was on Jake's shoulder I could see the highway where there were no cars. Then I saw headlights of the car that I had been in minutes ago. "That's him," I stated. Emmett who was still in the driver's seat of his jeep drove onto the road blocking both lanes. The horrid car screeched to a stop.

Jake was going to set me down and I clung to his shirt. "Just a second," he whispered and he did put me down. He ran over to the driver's side, slung the door open and yanked Ben down onto the concrete. He then bent down and started punching him. He only got in a few blows before daddy put a hand on his shoulder and told him something.

Jake came back over to me scooping me up in his arms and putting me in his car. The car ride was only about a minute long then he was scooping me out carrying me to my room. He brought me to my bathroom and told me to take a shower.

As I was in the shower I was trying to loosen up and calm down. Shake tonight's event off but it wasn't exactly happening. I heard my bathroom door open and stopped the shower to get out. My mom was waiting there with some P.J.s and open arms. "Mommy," I whimpered walking into her arms.

"Oh honey," she said wrapping her arms around me. We stood like that for several minutes and then she said, "I think tomorrow you should talk to your Aunt Rosalie." I just nodded. I had no idea why I should talk to Aunt Rose but I would anyway.

"Is Jake still here," I asked and this time she nodded. She handed me the P.J.s kissed my head and left. I put on Jake's shirt and some Aeropostale sleep pants. I through my hair up into a ponytail and left my bathroom.

Jake was sitting in my mom's old rocking chair next to my bed. He opened his eyes when I walked in. As I walked by him I just grabbed his hand and pulled him to my bed. I put the covers over both of us and snuggled close to him.

I didn't want to sleep that was for sure. I had a bad feeling that when I closed my eyes I would see what happened today, maybe what would have happened if I hadn't got away. I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready to do what I was about to do but I decided it didn't matter.

I turned over on to my stomach and started kissing Jake's chest. I knew dad wouldn't approve on what I was planning to do so I hoped he wasn't home yet. I moved on top of Jacob my weight resting on my palms and started moving my lips up to his neck. He sighed, "Nessie what are you doing?"

"I don't want to sleep," I mumbled, "I want you."

"Renesmee you and I both know you are not ready. Even if you were our first time would not be in reaction to this and for the sake of me living and your dad not killing me it will be when we are married."

I sat up, "Oh so my dad gets to decide when we do it now?"

"No we do, and it will not be now. Not after what just happened and you know you aren't ready."

I couldn't exactly deny that last part so I just said, "I don't want to sleep." As I said this I slipped back onto my side, my head resting on Jake's chest.

"Tell me why," he said kissing my hair.

"I'm scared."

"Of what," he asked and I could hear the heartbreak in his voice from just those two little words.

"I'm afraid that when I close my eyes that's what I'll see and that when I wake up I'll be back in that car with him on top of me," I said admitting more to him then I had to myself.

His arms automatically tightened around me. "Tell you what. I'll sleep here tonight, you in my arms and I promise then when you wake up you will still be in my arms. I also promise that your dad will watch your dreams and if they start going in a bad direction we will wake you up."

"You promise," I asked.

"Promise."

Jake rested his cheek on the top of my head one of his arms rubbing my back soothingly. From downstairs I could hear my lullaby start up and I had a feeling that daddy would still be playing for me when I woke up. He would play for me all night. I found comfort in that and knowing Jake would be there when I woke so I closed my eyes.

Right before I slipped into unconsciousness I whispered, "You were right. I shouldn't have worn that outfit."

A/N: So here are the links I promised... This is my longest chapter I was going to make it two. Prom and Studying and they each would have had more dialogue but decided against it. And while I'm here I'm sorry if the idea of rape is offensive to you but she didn't actually get rapped. And I'll go ahead and do one of those disclaimer things... Disclaimer: I do not own any of Stephenie Meyer's characters or story lines. This is just a little something I came up with in my head. Okay now that I'm done with that here are the links!
