Chapter 13: No More Secrets
We quickly rushed into the family room. "Whats wrong Alice." Jasper asked as he felt her fear. "Yeah whats wrong Alice." Carlise reiterated. "Renesemee found this dress in her room." "Sooo." Rosalie sighed. "So it was wrapped neatly and laid in the middle of her bed." I spatted at her. Her eyes are widen with fear and so did Edward and Bella. "Did any in this body in this room buy her a dress?" Edward asked already knowing the answer. Simultaneously we all shook our head no. "Jake you were in the room, was there any foreign scents?" "No." Someone was toying with us. Some how we've all became his little puppets and he was having to much fun pulling the strings.
"While we are all here, would someone fill me in what is going on?" I could tell she was confused and afraid. I know I would be to if some stranger was after me and I had no clue why. I walked over to her and slid my arms around her. "You don't need to worry about, we have it under control." Edward was the first one to speak up. She glared at him as he infuriated her. "Under control! This is what you call under control! I've had some man break into my room and now someone is sneakin' in leavin' me presents!" She shouted. In her seven years of life, I have never seen her lose her temper. I have to admit it frightened me a little. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, don't you raise your voice to me." "Well then just tell me the truth!" She continued. "I've already told what you need to know. End of discussion!" Edward shouted back.
Nessie huffed and turned in my arms to face me. "Jake tell me what is going on. I have a right to know." She said as she stared into my eyes. I agree that she had a right to know, but I was afraid that the knowledge would put her in more danger. I pulled my eyes from hers and looked at Edward waiting for answer. "Don't look at my father. Tell me now. You promised no secrets." She warned me, but I was still at an impass. I couldn't, I wouldn't endanger her. "Damn it Jacob Black! Tell me now or this relationship is over!" I felt a thousand tiny daggers stab through my heart.
"Nessie don't do this. I love you and I don't want to put you in any more danger." I pleaded hoping she would understand, but the anger blazing in her eyes said other wise. "You promise." "I know but.." "I don't want to hear it. We're through." Her words ripped my heart, still beating, from my chest. She jerked away from me and ran upstairs. I heard her slam the door and then locked it. "Jake you did the right thing." Edward said. "Right that why I feel like shit." Upstairs I could hear her balling her eyes out, which made my heart break worse. I made my way upstairs to my room. Tonight I had broken two promises to her. I had promised no secrets and that I would never hurt her again.
Hours have passed and she has quit crying. I heard her unlock her door and make her way downstairs. "At least one of us heals fast" I mumbled to myself. "Where did you think you're going in that purple dress?" "I called Calvin and accepted his date." Nessie informed. There went the rest of my heart. I just wanted to curl up and die. "Like hell you are!" Edward screamed. "Go back up to your room!" He continued. "I'm going and that's final!" She shouted as I heard the front door swing open and then moments later I heard a car pull away.
She was gone. I couldn't take it any more. I don't know how to handle this. When Edward left Bella, Bella had shut down for months. Then she did dangerous things just to hear his voice. Is that how it is going to be for me? I had to save her, but there is no one to save me. I laid back unto my bed and began to dull my senses until the point I was comatose.
I still love hearing all of your comments.
