AN: THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS!!! I'm sorry I couldn't post this chapter up sooner, but I went to the mall with my friends to see New Moon again yesterday... we were saying all the dialogues before they said it, and we were screaming out random stuff like "HI ARO!" when he came on and stuff like that... actually, it was only me. =P Just loved the vision of the scene in Breaking Dawn!! And then I came home, and my internet was busted, so I spent the rest of the day playing the Sims 3. SORRY :(
A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MY REVIEWERS!!! (Is this getting old? Please tell me!!)

nfanpepsi: YES I KNOW!! BLARGGG. My favourite line in New Moon is actually "What a marshmallow." and they used it, but it seemed...not like Jacob would say it... you know?? There was another line they skipped...I can't remember it right now... Which one is actually your favourite quote? Oh, and thanks for the review!! (Got a bit carried away there)

11. A Flaw in her Plan.
Renesmee Cullen.
"Hi," I replied to Josh. "Nothing much, you?"
"Nothing, just gawking at the most beautiful girl alive."
I felt my face get hot. "Um...thanks."
He smiled. "Anytime." Then he shifted on the barstool he was sitting on, getting closer to me.
I was feeling uncomfortable. This guy reeked of trouble! Literally! I could smell all the alcohol on him, and he was drinking a Coke right now! I decided to say something. "Um," I said. "I have to go."
His hand flew around my waist. I gulped. "Don't go yet," he said. "We haven't even got to...know each other."
I gulped. "Bye," I said, as I turned to leave.
But the guy had good reflexes, though he wasn't a vampire. He stood up, both his hands now around my waist, and his face very, very close. Too close. I tried to push him away. Of course, I could just hit him once, and he would go flying into a wall. But this was different. I couldn't use my powers here.
"Don't leave, Nessie," he whispered into my ear as he leaned down to kiss me. I turned to the other side, protecting my lips, but he attacked my neck. Now, I don't mean attacked my neck like a vampire would, but you could say it was the same, without the blood and pain. His lips didn't leave a spot untouched. I didn't like this at all.
"How do you know my name?" I demanded.
"Who doesn't?" he said, his lips relaxing for a second. "You're the most famous girl in school, the only Cullen who's single."
I squirmed in his tight grip. "Leave me alone!" I said.
"Not a chance."
I pushed against his arms, feeling helpless. But I couldn't give up now!
"Stop," a voice said. Josh's arms were pried off me. The voice was vaguely familiar, deep and husky. No, it couldn't be. Jacob? "Leave her alone," Jacob demanded. Josh didn't listen. Instead, he made the biggest mistake of his life. He kissed me again.
It all happened very fast. Jacob punched Josh in the stomach, and Josh slid across the wooden floor. He winced in pain for a few seconds, then leaped to his feet, and charged at Jacob. But Jacob pushed him away easily. Of course. He was a werewolf. Did I expect any less of him?
The fight continued. Attention was diverted, and people formed a circle around the fight. Jacob easily had the upper hand. A girl broke in through the crowd. "Josh!" she shouted. Both guys paused. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, all I did was kiss that girl-" he stopped, and had obviously made a very big mistake. The girl's eyes filled up with confusion, and she slapped Josh across the face, before bursting into tears and running away. "Evelyn!" Josh yelled before running after her. Silence overcame the party. Vanessa dragged Jacob out of the circle, and I overheard their conversation.
"What were you thinking?" she asked him. "Why did you attack him for no reason?"
"I didn't!" he told her. "The guy was attacking...Renesmee."
That made me smile proudly. "Renesmee?" Vanessa asked. "Renesmee?"
"Yeah...I just needed to...protect her."
"Why, Jacob?" Vanessa said. "Don't you remember what she tried to do in Chemistry? She was flirting! Trying to take you away from me!"
"Yes, I remember, but...I don't know why..."
Vanessa sighed, but looked a little worried. "It's fine, Jacob. Don't worry about it."
She took him, and they sat down on a couch. Vanessa laid her head on his chest, and he put his arm around her, a bit hesitant, though his brown eyes were still filled with thoughts and confusion.
Vanessa suddenly leaped up, and kissed Jacob. I couldn't help but watch it. The thoughts and confusion melted from Jacob's eyes, like he had just woken up from a deep sleep, and was revived. His hesitant arm tightened, pulling her closer to him. He seemed like he was suddenly in love with her again, and had forgotten everything about me.
Wait, everything about me. Could it be? That's how she hypnotised him! She kissed him. That would make sense. They kissed at the theatre, and then Jacob went to her house. Then they kissed now, when Jacob was starting to come back to me. Her kisses were like the Polyjuice Potions from Harry Potter. They made you into something else...and would wear off, making you need another.
When they finally broke the kiss, Jacob said something I never thought he would say, now that I knew as long as Vanessa was giving him kisses, my Jacob would never come back to me. Jacob said "Your lips taste different, Vanessa."
I have never seen anyone's eyes widen as much as hers did then. "Y-Yeah, Jacob, just a new lip gloss," she said. He nodded.
Then she flung herself back onto him, and Jacob looked a bit stunned, before being dragged back into her trance. Little mmms escaped her lips. Then she jumped up, and pulled Jacob into a room. And I was left, alone, staring in shock.
Jacob Black.
"Vanessa, what are you doing?" I asked her.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Don't be stupid, Vanessa."
She pouted. "But I am stupid."
I laughed. "No, you're not. So stop acting like it."
"What happens if I don't?"
I thought about it. "I will officially never talk to you again."
"No! Not that!" she sounded a bit sarcastic.
"I swear I will."
"No you won't."
"I will." She never used to be like this how I remembered her. She would always throw a fit whenever I even said something about leaving. What was wrong with her? Why was she changing so much?
Vanessa peeked out of the bathroom she was in. "Fine, go."
I stared at her in the dark. She didn't see me. "Seriously?" I asked.
Before she could answer, two girls flew in through the doors, squealing "WE LOVE YOU, JACOB!" They both landed on either side of me. I sat up from my half-lying-on-the-bed pose before.
"Um...thanks."
"Always," they said in unison.
"How did you know I'd be in this dark, scary room?" I asked them, teasingly.
"Oh, you know Renesmee? She told us."
"Oh, Renesmee," I said.
"Yeah, we asked where you were, and she said she saw you go in here."
"Oh," I said, before I got up to open the door. As I opened it, a girl fell on top of me, who apparently had her ear pressed against the door. I looked at the girl's face, and couldn't help but gasp.
Renesmee.
DUM DUM DUMMM!!!
