Well I hope you enjoy this one, or hate it and review the crap out of it, so I can cry in a corner but get over myself. :D
Renesmee POV
I didn't sleep, at all. I couldn't even if I tried, my mind was too consumed into its own thoughts. It was now 8 AM, but I was even close to tired.
"You'll never be normal"
Those words were stuck in my head. I wanted to be normal, I didn't want to be unique, or different, or original like other people. I just wanted to live a normal life; which meant no vampires, or wolves, just humans. I sighed and got up from the floor -which I've been sitting on, with my head against my bed-, and walked out my door. I almost tripped over a bunch of stuffed animals, I took off the sticky note from the big bear, Jacob had won it for me after we got off the Ferris Wheel.
Jacob left this for you. Sorry about last night. Love Dad.
I rolled my eyes, and kicked the stuffed animals in my room. I closed the door behind me and went down the stairs.
"Good morning Nessie, how did you sleep?" Rosalie asked me, with a small smile.
"I didn't sleep." I told her.
"Why not?" Emmett asked.
"I couldn't."
"Why?" Emmett asked, again.
"Because I couldn't!" I shouted at him. "Gosh... why can't you all just leave me alone."
"Sorry, Ness." he said. I sighed.
"I was thinking of yesterday. That's why I couldn't sleep." I gave in.
"Honey, don't worry about what your dad says. He's an asshole." Rosalie told me, I laughed a little when she said the last part.
"Yeah. Feels kinda weird calling my dad an asshole."
"Don't worry, in a couple years, most likely months, you'll be calling him other names." Emmett said.
"Right..." I shook my head lightly. "Quick question; who was knocking at the door last night?"
"Me." a voice said behind me. I turned around slowly. "Well you definitely got bigger, its so nice seeing you again." he gave me a hug, I felt uncomfortable.
"You are?" I asked after he let go.
"You don't remember me?" he asked, a little sad. I shook my head softly. "Oh, right you were a baby. I'm Nahuel, I was there when the Volturi were gonna kill us."
"Well when you put it that way. Hi." I gave him a small wave.
"Hi? That's all I get." he said jokingly.
"Um, okay, you want a better one?" I asked.
"Well considering the fact I saved your life, yeah." he said, in an obvious tone.
"Alright." I took a quick breath. "Oh my god! I can't believe its you Nahuel, its been so long." I gave him a hug. "Much better?" I said once I let go.
"You deserve an Oscar." he laughed, I laughed along with him.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Just stopped by." he said.
"Okay, good enough for me." I turned to my family. "So where's my dad? He left me a pathetic sticky note saying he was sorry."
"It was not pathetic. It was a nicely written note, and I put it on a teddy bear." my dad came into the living room.
"I'm not going to forgive you." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Would you forgive me if I told you I got you a brand new car?" he swung keys in my face.
"You got me a car!" I jumped on top of him. "Oh my gosh! Thank you, thank you." I slowly got off of him and gave him a suspicious look. "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"Is it working?" he asked, with a smile.
"A little."
"What would make you forgive me?" he asked.
"Next time I'm on a date, no calling, or interruptions." I stated.
"Got it."
"What's my curfew for the car?" I cocked an eyebrow.
"9 PM." he said.
"10 PM." I responded.
"8 PM." he went down.
"11 or I walk." I smirked.
"Fine but you have to be with a legal adult after 9." he agreed.
"Great." I clapped my hands briefly. "And one more thing; just trust me dad. I never ask for anything from you, but all I'm asking is for you to trust me. I would never do anything a typical teen would do, when have I ever been typical."
"Yeah, I know. I guess I can't accept the fact you're growing up so fast." he said and gave me a hug.
"I love you Dad." I said into his shoulder.
"I love you too." he let go.
"So... can I go for a test run?" I asked referring to the car.
"Do you have to ruin every moment we have?" he asked.
"Yup, I'm your daughter... its my job." I grinned.
"Okay. Here." he placed the keys in my hands.
"But you don't know how to drive." Jasper said.
"Shhhhh!" I turned in his direction, and gave him a 'shut up' look.
"Trying to get away with it?" my dad asked.
"Is it working?" I used his words.
"Nope." he laughed a little. "How about you take Nahuel?"
"Do you wanna come Nahuel?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sure. I have nothing else to do." he responded.
"Do you know how to drive Nahuel?" my dad asked him.
"What?! I thought you said I could drive if there was someone in the car with me." I complained.
"I never said that." he said. I thought back on our conversation.
"You said that I have to be with a legal adult after 9." I told him.
"Yeah, but I never said that before 9 you would be in the car alone, hence- legal adult after 9. I never said you were gonna be driving." he smirked.
"Darn it." I muttered.
"Yes, I can drive." Nahuel responded.
"I hope you don't drive like we're in a car chase." I told him.
"Nope, I won't pass the speed limit." he said.
"Oh great." I said sarcastically. "Here you go." I gave him the keys.
"Don't be out for too long." my dad said.
"Dad, I said I was going out for a test run. As in, I'm going to be out for less than an hour." I told him as if it were the stupidest thing in the world.
"Alright then, have fun." he smiled.
"By the way, where's mom?" I asked.
"She's in the cottage."
"Why isn't she here, you guys are like inseparable."
"She needed some alone time."
"Why? What happened?!" I said alerted.
"Nothing, nothing at all. But sometimes people need time alone." he pointed out.
"True. Well I'm going for my test run of the car, come on Nahuel." I told him, I didn't have to change I was still wearing my clothes from last night, I didn't even take off my shoes. We walked out the door together.
"So how you been?" he asked unexpectedly.
"Me? Fine. I've bee fine." I nodded my head softly.
"Really, you don't feel at all alone because you're a half breed?" he asked.
"No, why would I be?" I lied. We walked into the garage and I assumed that the car under the covers was mine, so I pulled it off.
"A Ford Mustang?" Nahuel asked in disbelief.
"Oh my gosh! He actually got it for me. I've been talking about this car for months, I got him pretty annoyed when I continuously blabbed on about it, but he never showed any sign of actually getting it for me." I said in complete shock. "And its a Cobra. A Ford Mustang Cobra." I corrected him.
"Alright, alright." he held his hands up in surrender. I took the small card from the windshield. "What does it say?" Nahuel asked.
"Happy Birthday,Nessie. Love, Dad." I read it out loud.
"Today's your birthday?" he asked.
"No, my birthday was 3 days ago." I told him.
"Well, happy birthday!" he said enthusiastically.
"Thank you." I smiled at him. "Well are we going to go for a test run or what?" I hopped in the passenger seat, Nahuel got in the drivers seat and put the key into the ignition, he started up the engine and we drove out the garage. He sped through the forest. "Okay dude! I just got the car try not to get it dirty."
"Alright, Miss Bossy Pants." he told me, with a smirk on his face.
"I am not bossy." I told him.
"Sure, you're not." he said.
"I am not! I just don't want you to get my car dirty."
"Alright, Ness." he laughed.
"You called me Ness." I said.
"Yeah, sorry. I kinda overheard someone call you that. I don't have to call you that if you don't want me to, it was stupid and I shouldn't have assumed -" I cut him off.
"Don't beat yourself up about it, its okay. Everybody calls me Ness, its alright."
"Okay, thanks." he made a turn out of the forest. "So where exactly are we going?"
"I don't know. I've never really been out of my house or the reservation. Do you know any good spots?"
"Well, have you ever been to McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurant?"
"Um, no. Where is that exactly?"
"In Seattle. Unless you don't want to go that far..."
"I don't want to go that far?" I said in disbelief. "Nahuel, I've been trapped in my house under parental supervision my whole life. Of course I would want to go to Seattle, I've only been there once, with Alice to buy clothes."
"Alright, then. McCormick and Schmick's it is." he smiled at me.
We got to the restaurant and it wasn't even full. I guess because it was early and a weekday.
"Table for 2?" the girl asked.
"Yes, please." Nahuel responded. She took us to a booth.
"Here are your menus, we're only serving brunch at this time." she said.
"That'll be fine." Nahuel assured her.
"Well, I'll be back in a minute, would you like anything to drink?" she took out her notepad.
"I'll have Pepsi." he said.
"And what about you?" she looked over to me.
"I don't know, my grandfather only lets me drink mostly water and ice tea. I've only drank soda like 3 times in my life." I whispered to Nahuel.
"She'll have a Dr. Pepper." he told her for me.
"Alright, I'll be right back." she smiled at walked away.
"What the heck is Dr. Pepper?" I asked him.
"Its a really good soda, trust me I'm a doctor." he grinned.
"Really? You're doctor. Have you worked with my grandpa?" I asked, but he just laughed.
"Ness, I'm not actually a doctor. Its just the slogan in the commercial."
"Oh. I haven't seen it, sorry I don't really watch TV."
"Its okay, I actually admire that. I should stop watching TV, but my aunt and I always stay in hotels and there isn't much to do."
"You should stay with us than, I don't think my grandma would mind." I suggested.
"I'm already staying, Esme offered last night." he said, sheepishly.
"Oh, that's great." I smiled at him.
"Here's your drinks, now what would you like to eat?" the girl seat our drinks on the table and took out her notepad.
"Maybe a salad for you?" he asked me.
"Uh, no. I'll take the M&S Breakfast, I want the eggs sunny side up and instead of fries can I get onion rings and can you put the bacon on top of it. And I will also take some chilled jumbo prawns." I told her, then looked over to Nahuel. "Maybe a salad for you?" I used his words.
"Ummmm. I'll have what she's having." we closed our menus and handed it to her, she walked away. "You don't eat salads?"
"It's not that I don't eat salads, I just didn't want a salad. And the fact that you assumed that I wanted a salad just made me want to prove you wrong." I smirked.
"So, do you know how it taste?"
"Do I know how what taste?"
"What you just ordered."
"No, but it sounds pretty good."
"Very spontaneous." he commented.
"So, tell me Nahuel, what have you been up to?"
"Nothing much. Traveling with my aunt." he took a sip of his soda.
"You haven't been with anyone?"
"You mean if I've dated anyone?" he asked, and I nodded my head. "I tried going out with some human girls-" he paused momentarily.
"They weren't weird enough for you." I said jokingly.
"That might be it, or maybe the fact that they were trying to get in my pants every five minutes."
"Oh." I said shocked. Who knew human girls could be so vulnerable. "So you never gave in to any of them?"
"Once or twice."
"Quite the ladies man, girls must love you." my eyes wandered off in another direction.
"Well, its not like I had sex with all of them. They're were just some that I thought were worth it, they weren't as conceited or self centered as the others." he cleared it up for me. "Well what about you? Do your parents let you date humans?"
"No, I've never met any humans besides my granddad and some people on the reservation. My boyfriend is actually Jacob."
"The wolf?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, he kinda imprinted on me, and I've had a crush on him since forever, so yeah..."
"Here you go." the girl came back with our orders and placed it in front of us.
"Thank you." we both said, I took a sip of my soda.
"Oh, this is good." I said.
"I told you."
"Take the first bite." I told him.
"You ordered it, you take it."
"Alright then." I picked up the onion ring, which already had bacon on it and dip it in the yolk of the egg and bit it. "Hm."
"Its good?" he asked, I nodded my head.
"Yeah, its really good. Try it." he tried it and smiled.
"I'm happy you didn't take the salad."
Jacob POV
"So, I'm not understanding this, please explain. You let her go with the half-breed?!" I shouted at the Cullen's, well mostly Edward.
"She wanted to take a test run with her car and she can't drive." he told me.
"So why couldn't you or somebody else drive her!"
"What's your problem Jacob?!" Rosalie said.
"I just don't like the guy, he gives me a weird vibe."
"What? Afraid hes gonna steal Nessie from you because they have more in common?" she smirked.
"No not at all. Pssft!" I was not afraid of that guy. "When are they coming back anyways?"
"Well, they've been gone for an hour so they should be here soon." Alice said, and if it wasn't on queue the front door opened and Nessie walked in with Nahuel.
"Oh, hey Jacob." she gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Jacob." Nahuel said.
"Hi." I gave him a small glare. "Where did you go?" I asked Renesmee.
"Um, well Nahuel took me to McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, and they have like the best food ever, and I drank Dr. Pepper!" she said excitedly. "Isn't that awesome?!"
"Yeah, the awesomeness." I glared back at Nahuel.
"Jake what's wrong?" she asked me. "Are you mad at me?"
"Uh, no. Of course not, why would I be mad at you."
"Oh, okay. Well I'm going to take a shower and change. And then later I can show you my car. By the way thanks Dad." she ran up the stairs.
"You took her on a date." I didn't really ask, Nahuel.
"It wasn't a date, she wanted to go somewhere so I took her somewhere." he said.
"To a restaurant..."
"Well, yeah. I thought she was hungry considering its morning and she didn't eat breakfast. I was just trying to be polite."
"Thank you Nahuel." Esme said. "For thinking about my granddaughter, I'm sure its fine. Isn't that right Jacob?"
"Yeah, of course. Thanks for feeding her, even though she could've ate here." I said through my teeth.
"No problem. Oh and here you go Edward." he handed him the keys.
"Thank you." Edward said.
"Well, Nahuel don't you feel superior right now." I said.
"What is that suppose to mean?" he asked.
"Just stay away from Nessie, I have feeling you want a little more than friendship."
"And what if I do..."
"Then I'll have to take you down myself."
"Is that a threat..."
"A promise." I walked towards the front door, I need to change and clear my head
"Jacob." I heard somebody call my name but I didn't pay much mind to it.
What'd you guys think?
Love it? Hate it? Review it! :D
