Nessies POV
I awake this morning dreading what would have to happen today. I was leaving today for Pullman Washington. Aunt Alice volunteered to start setting up the house so she and Jasper left Thursday with my Jeep and most of my boxed of stuff. I was taking a plane this afternoon; Jacob was going to drive me there. Oh Jacob. I was going to miss him so much. I got up, showered and got dressed in some jean, sweatshirt over a tee-shirt and some chucks, dressing comfortable for my flight later on. I went down stairs for breakfast.
"Morning." I greeted.
"Morning sweetness" mom replied.
I grab a plate and Gran places a chocolate ship waffle on my plate. I topped it off with strawberries and syrup.
"Exited baby?" mom asked as I sat next to her.
"Yeah I guess." I tell her.
She grins at me. She knows how much I'm dreading to leave.
"When's your flight?" she asks me.
"2:00" I reply.
"Your father should be back to see you then." She told me.
"Good." I replied.
I spend the next three hours just laying around until Jacobs arrival.
Jacobs POV
I only went to work for five hours. I got out at 11:00 to take Nessie to the airport. I went home to change first. Once I was changed I went straight to Nessie. This day really sucks. Its about to be the weekend and I have to take my girlfriend…I mean fiancé to the airport.
I pulled up to the Cullen mansion parking right out front. Nessie was sitting on the porch swing.
"Hay honey." I greeted her as I climbed the porch steps.
"Hi." She replied before I pecked her lips.
"You about ready?" I asked her.
"Just waiting for my dad so I can say goodbye." She replied.
"Okay, I'll wait with you." I said sitting down next to her.
I curled my arm around her as her head fell onto my shoulder. I kissed her hair before placing my head on hers. We just sat there in silence waiting for Edward. I played with her fingers on her left hand and smiled when I started fiddling with her engagement ring.
She giggled tilting her head to kiss my neck. Then the sound of tired makes us turn our heads. Edward was coming up the drive way. Nessie stood up.
"Hi daddy." Nessie greeted Edward.
"Hay angel." He greeted.
"Sorry I'm late." He told her.
"You're not late at all." She replied hugging him.
"Well, glad I made it." he replied squeezing her tight.
"Me too." she replies hugging him.
"Let me call mom down." Nessie said as she enters the house.
Edward turns to me.
"How you been Jake?" he asks as we shake hands.
"Fine I guess." I tell him.
He smiles and nods. Nessie returns, suitcase in hand, Bella and the rest of the family right behind her.
"Alright let's get this show on the road." Nessie says.
I grin and take the suitcase out of her hands. I walk to my truck and put it in the trucks bed as she takes her time hugging her family. Bella and Esme are tearing up I can tell Rosalie is trying to hold back the tears. Nessie wipes away a few tears of her own. She finished hugging and kissing everyone but hugs Edward once more. He buries his face into her penny colored hair that matched his exactly.
"Be safe, call if anything." He tells her.
"I will, Love you Daddy." She replies.
"Love you too, Angel." He says as he lets her go.
She grabs her messenger bag and walks down the porch. I open her door for her. She hops in and I close it behind her. I get into the drivers seat and bring my truck to life. She waves goodbye as we pull out of the driveway. She sighs once the house is out of sight. I put my hand on her knee, giving her a supportive squeeze. She turned and smiled at me, placing her hand on mine. She looked out the window as I drive her to Forks airport. It was a gloomy day with droplets of rain dropping occasionally. We finally made it to the airport. I parked in front of the drop off area and got out of the truck. I lifted Nessie's bag out of the truck bed and set it on the ground. Nessie's door was open but she didn't step out. I walked over to her.
"Ness?" I called for her.
"Nessie? Honey, you alright." I ask her.
She looks up at me tears glistening in her eyes and fall as she blinked.
"Renesmee come on baby." I said closing the space between us and cupping her face in my hands.
"Come on baby. You know how much it hurts me to see you cry." I say wiping the tears away with my thumbs.
She looks up at me. She gripped my shirt pulling me to her.
"Kiss me." she whispered.
I pulled her even closer to me and kissed her deeply.
"I don't want to leave you." She whispers.
"I don't want to say goodbye."
"This isn't goodbye, you know that." I said to her.
"Maybe I should just transfer to Forks College." She tells me.
"Come on Ness you know that's not what you want, you worked hard to get into Washington State. Don't sell yourself short." I tell her.
"I just don't want to be with out you." She tells me.
"Hay, I'll be visiting you in a couple of weeks." I tell her.
"Yeah but." She tries.
"No buts Nessie, we already talked about this. You're getting on that plane, you're going to Washington State University, you're going to have a wonderful time going there and the next time I see you face to face we'll go window shopping for our special day." I tell her.
She smiles at my last statement.
"Promise?" she asks.
"I always keep the promises I make you Remesmee, especially the ones that mean the most to me." I say toying with her ring.
She smiles, I kiss her again.
"Alright." She says with a heavy sigh while wiping her face.
She steps out of the truck and closes the passenger's door; she turns to me and cages me in a tight hug that I return.
"I love you." I whisper to her.
"I love you too." she replies.
We pull away and kiss again.
"Call me when you get there." I tell her.
"I will." She replies.
"I'll see you soon?" she tells me but it comes out sounding like a question.
"Very soon." I reply.
She smiles, grabs her suitcase and heads towards the entrance. I wait until I loose sight of her before getting back into my truck.
"And so the sulking begins." I say as I drive off alone, already missing my Nessie.
Nessie's POV
Once I landed in Pullman Alice and Jasper picked me up at the airport.
"How was your flight?" Jasper asks me.
"Alright I guess." I reply from the back seat of my Jeep.
"Nessie your going to love the house, it's so perfect." Alice tells me from the passenger's seat.
"We already repainted the upstairs; all we need is downstairs, furniture and all the decorating." She told me.
"I'm sure that we can get it done." I told her.
Jasper drove us back to my new house hold. We pulled into the driveway that led to the garage in the back. The house was even better then in the pictures. I stepped out of the Jeep and looked it over.
"Isn't it a beauty?" Alice asked me.
"It sure is." I replied.
"Wait till you see the inside." She told me.
The house was just perfect. It had a classic old school feel to it. Alice gave me the tour of my new house, telling me what had to be done and how the decorating of each room would play out. I eventually freed myself from Alice and called my parents. They were happy I had made it to Pullman safely and with out a hassle. Once I finished my conversation with my parents I called my Jacob.
"Hay sweetheart." He answered.
"Hi." I replied.
"I was starting to get worried." He told me.
"Sorry, Alice went crazy when we got to the house. I just got away from her and was able to call.
"It's alright baby, I know how Alice can be." He said with a laugh. I giggled.
"So what are you doing tonight?" I asked him.
"Nothing much, just having dinner with the guys and my dad." He told me.
"Sound nice, tell him I said hi." I told him.
"Will do." He replied.
"I miss you already." I tell him. He sighs.
"I know baby, you have no idea how much I'm missing you already, But we'll be together sooner then you think." He told me.
"I hope so." I replied.
We had small take for a few more minutes before Alice called.
"Ness! Hun, lets go get something to eat." She yelled from down stairs.
"Un Jake?" I asked for him.
"I heard her." he laughed.
"I'll call you tonight before I go to sleep." He told me.
"Okay, I'll be waiting." I tell him.
"Love you Ness." He tells me.
"Love you too Jakey." I reply before we hang up.
Alice, Jasper and I went to a local Tai food restaurant. We order our food and sat down to wait for out order to take home. We fall into a light conversation.
"Brenda's arriving tonight right?" Jasper asked me.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she was navigating her way through the neighborhood right now." I told him.
Seconds later my phone rang, Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, my ring tone for Brenda.
"Speak of the devil." I said before I answered my phone. Alice giggled.
"Hello, Bren Bren. What can I do for you?" I asked her.
"You can tell me where the hell you guys are, I'm right outside the house." She told me.
"Oh sorry, we went out for food. Well be there right away." I told her.
"Tell her there's an extra key in the mail box." Jasper told me. I nodded.
"Just go inside, there's a key in the mail box." I told her.
"Oh okay, see you when you get here." he tells me.
"Alright see you in a bit." I say before I hang up.
"Number 63" our order is called.
We grab our order and head back. Brenda's yellow Volkswagen is parked in the driveway; lights are on inside. We grab the food and went inside.
"Brenda" I call out as we enter. She comes bouncing down the stairs.
"The house looks amazing, but there's one thing I have been dying to see." She says as she comes straight to me and grabs my left hand to examine my engagement ring.
Brenda went crazy when I told her Jacob proposed.
"I'm so happy for you Ness." She said dripping both my hands.
"Thanks Bren." I replied.
We ate our food in the kitchen, Alice and Jasper had already placed the small dinning table this afternoon before I arrived. Once we finished we went upstairs to set up the beds. All three rooms had full sized beds. It didn't take long to set the bed frames up and once the mattresses were in place. Alice, Brenda and I each took a bed sheet set to clothe the beds. Before the night was over we brought in most of mine and Brenda's things. Boxes surrounded both our rooms. Alice and Jasper were sleeping in the guest room.
"Night you two were going to turn in. We got a full day ahead of us tomorrow." Alice tells us.
"Okay see you guys in the morning." I tell them both.
"Good night Brenda." Alice tells her.
"Good night." She replies.
Brenda and I are in her room.
"I'm pretty tired myself. it was along drive." She tells me.
"Yeah, I should get some sleep too." I say lifting off her bed and heading to the door.
"Night Ness." she tells me.
"Night night." I reply as I walk out her door and walk down the hall to mine.
I enter my new room and throw myself onto my bed. I pull out my cell phone to check the time. It was only 9:30, Jacob should be calling soon. I lifted off my bed and went looking for my suitcase. I pulled out of one of Jacob's old shirts. I pulled off both my sweatshirt and tee. I pulled Jacob's shirt on and shimmied out of my jeans. I went to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth. I came out of the bathroom and went through my suitcase looking for my ipod, ipod charger, and cell phone charger. I plugged in my ipod to charge. I lay back on my bed waiting for my call. I started fiddling with my ring thinking of Jacob, imagining our wedding day. About out future life together, daydreaming about Jacob and I having a family. I was pulled out of my day dream when my phone starting playing "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness, which meant it was Jake.
"Hay baby." I greeted over the phone.
"Hay beautiful." he replied.
"How's it going?" he asked me.
"Alright I guess. The real work starts tomorrow." I tell him.
"I should have gone with you." He tells me.
"Jake it's mostly nothing; we'll finish by Sunday afternoon." I tell him.
"I know I just miss you. Plus its Friday, I should be at your house right now." He tells me.
"Don't remind me, I miss you too." I tell him.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" I ask him.
"I don't know, go out for a run. Stay at home, watch a movie. I don't know." He tells me.
"That's so boring, you should do something fun." I tell him.
"Like what?" he asks me.
"Go out with the guys? Spend some time with Billy." I suggest.
"Yeah I guess I can do that." He tells me.
"Jake I don't want you sulking around." I tell him.
"I'm not sulking." He tells me.
"Yeah sure your not." I say sarcastically.
"I'm not, I'm just trying to get uses to not having you around as much." He tells me.
"Me too baby." I replied.
"Okay enough with the sad conversations. How's the house?" he asks me lightening the moon.
"It's great, perfect." I tell him.
We continue talking about the house, school and our wedding.
"So who are you picking as maid of honor?" he asks me.
"Brenda of course." I reply.
"Great because my best man for sure is going to be Seth." He tells me. I giggle.
"Have you asked him yet?" I ask him.
"No not yet. Have you asked Brenda?" he asks in return.
"No, but she's going to freak." I tell him. He chuckles.
"I should let you get some sleep, you have a lot to do tomorrow." He tells me.
"Yeah I should get some sleep." I tell him.
"Alright, goodnight angel." He tells me.
"Night Jakey, I love you." I tell him.
"I love you too baby, so much." He tells me.
"Call me tomorrow night." I tell him.
"Will do." He tells me.
"Bye Jake." I say.
"Bye sweetheart." He tells be before we hang up.
I connect my phone to its charger and set it on the floor. I wrap myself in my sheet covers finding warmth as I fall asleep dreaming of My Jacob.
Saturday came; all four of us were hustling to bring all the furniture in and arranging it around the room. We organized my room just how I had it back in Forks. My bed right of the window facing the opposite wall, nightstand on the left of my bed, desk in the corner close to the walk-in closet door and my bookshelf opposite my bed with the bathroom door to its right. Brenda's room was similar to mine only it was positioned differently. The guest room looked like any other room. Bathrooms were accessorized with the essentials. The nook that over looked the front of the house has a small couch and a coffee table. Alice was busy hanging pictures while Brenda and I put plates, dishes, and cups away. We called it a day and went out to get something to eat. We drove to a local Pizza Hut. We ordered a meat lovers pizza and sat down as we waited for our order. Once our order was called Jasper went to retrieve it. When we where half way through the pizza we started up a conversation.
"Hay Brenda, I've been meaning to ask you something." I tell her.
"Oh yeah what's that?" she asks before taking a sip of her drink.
"Well I was wondering if you would be my maid of honor." I ask her.
She goes silent, her eyes practically bulge out of her head.
"Are you serious?" she asks me.
"Dead serious." I tell her.
Her face spreads into a smile and she squeals.
"Of course I'd love to be your maid of honor." She conforms.
"I was hoping you would." I tell her.
The night goes on and I receive my nightly call from Jake. Then Sunday comes around. We're completely finished with the house and Brenda and I drive Jasper and Alice to the air port.
"Call if anything, and be safe." Alice tells me as we hug.
"I will. Thanks so much for your help with the house." I tell her.
Jasper then hugs me.
"Take care, baby girl." He tells me.
"I will, thanks for everything." I thank him.
"No problem." He tells me.
"See you guys soon." Both Brenda and I tell them.
They walk to there terminal, Brenda and I head home.
"We should stop by the market and get some food." I tell her.
"I know we were missing something." She laughs. I giggle with her.
We head to the market and stock up on food. My trunk is full by the time we finish loading the car. We head home and unload everything, putting it in its place. Brenda and I made a quick dinner, watched some TV and headed to bed. Jake called me before I finally went to sleep.
Monday came, Brenda and I went over to the collage to register and get our class schedules set. After that we just ventured throw the neighborhood. While on our venture we passed by a book store called Addict Readers, we just had to go in. The store was amazing. Good variety, both new and old types of books. It even had a cozy reading lounge. I was at the register buying a new book when I saw the help wanted sign. Brenda and I were talking about getting jobs earlier today, maybe this was my chance.
"Your hiring?" I asked the clerk.
"Yes we are, you interested?" she asked sweetly.
"Yeah I am, is experience needed?" I asked her.
"Not really, you need to know your way around a book store and maybe a little math." She tells me.
"Well, I a complete book worm." I tell her laughing. She laughs with me.
"Great, why don't you just fill out this form and we'll get this show on the road." She tells me.
"Isn't there an interview process?" I ask her.
"There usually is, but I've had that "help wanted" sign up forever now. You're the first to ask and you seemed like you knew your way around the store when I saw you come in." she explains to me.
"Great so how much will I get be paid and what will I be doing exactly?" I ask her as I begin filling out the paper in front of me.
"The job pays 10.50 the hour you'll mostly just be organizing books, putting new shipments out, helping customers, and the occasional manning of the cash register." She tells me.
"Sounds good when do I start?" I ask sliding the paper back to her.
"I'll call you tomorrow, well work out your shifts. You're a collage student right?" she asks me.
"Yeah." I reply.
"Thought so, we'll organize you shifts around you class schedule." She tells me sweetly.
"Thanks." I tell her.
"No problem, my names Jennie by the way." She says offering a hand shake.
"Renesmee." I reply.
"Pleasure to meet you, nice to have you aboard." She tells me.
"Glad I could finally fill in the position." I tell her.
"Alright well I'll call you tomorrow." She tells me.
"I'll be waiting for that call." I tell her.
Brenda and I leave the store and continue venturing through the town. Trying to memorize our way around our new surroundings. We got back home around 6:00. We made dinner and had a movie night. Jake called around 10:00. I tell him about my day and my new job.
"I can't believe it's almost September." He tells me.
"I know, the time went by so fast." I reply.
"I'm just bummed I wont be with you when your birthday rolls around." he tell me.
"I know, but we'll have other birthday." I tell him.
"True but I've already misses so many and now that I have you back I want to make up for all those missed birthdays." He tells me.
"You're just too sweet sometimes." I tell him.
"Its hard not to be sweet when I'm talking to the sweetest girt out there." He tells me.
"Okay now you're just cheesy." I say with a laugh.
"Yeah but you love me for It." he says.
"That I do." I confirm.
"I miss you." He tells me.
"I miss you too." I tell him.
We talk a little longer then decide it was time to call it a night. I fall asleep wanting his arms around me but excited for tomorrow.
