Enjoy!

Would This Be Classed As 'Betrayal'?
Jacob

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TWENTY FOUR HOURS THAT RENESMEE HATED MY guts - or was just 'pissed off', as she stated. I didn't believe that. That had to have be her most convincing lie to date though, I'll give her that.

But she was stubborn, she was damn stubborn and there was no changing that. Every day I would visit her and hope that she'd had a change of heart, but she was always the same. I was running out of ideas - sorry just didn't seem to cut it anymore. What exactly did she want from me?

My heart on a platter?

My soul in a blood bag?

She was meant to go hunting tonight and she would be back tomorrow morning. Maybe that was what she needed - to hunt. Let out her anger on the animals of Canada's forests. I hoped that was all she needed. It would make life so much better if I could just go and see my Renesmee every day, not a Renesmee who's being as cold as her family's skin.

At least five times every day I pictured that engagement ring in that envelope and I would feel a shadow crouch over me. I tried to avoid thinking about it other than when I was walking on two legs, I didn't want the pack to be distracted by my sob stories. It seemed that nowadays I would wake with that spec of hope that maybe today would be the day things would turn around and she'd talk to me, forgive me. But no. On the nights when I did go to bed, I would go with shattered hope again. It was a vicious cycle.

So, on the evening of when the Cullens were due to go hunting, I was surprised to get a call from their house.

"Hello?" I answered, more or less expecting to hear Bella's voice on the other end.

I wasn't expecting to hear from any of them tonight and nothing had prepared me for who had actually called me.

"Jake?" said Renesmee.

I didn't really know what to say. I was so surprised that she'd called me that I was silent for a long time.

"Jake?" she asked again. "Are you there?"

"Er- yeah-" I cleared my throat. "Yeah, I'm here. I wasn't expecting-"

"I know, I'm sorry this is unexpected-"

"No, no, it's fine. It's great, actually."

"I know this is probably a lot to ask, considering how I've been-"

"What is it? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. The others have gone hunting, they took Tracy with them."

"I thought you were supposed to go hunting tonight?"

"I was - but I'm just not feeling up to it, so I decided to stay at home." my stomach plummeted then.

"Hang on, so, they left you at home on your own?"

"Yeah. I was going to ask you if you could come over, that is if you're not busy. I really need to talk to you, things have just been falling apart and it's killing me, Jacob. Please, can you come?"

I couldn't believe she'd just been left there her own and I couldn't believe that she'd said 'no' to hunting.

"I'll be there in a minute." and I hung up, I couldn't risk her being alone any longer than she already had been. I didn't even know how long she'd already been alone.

I left home less than a minute later. At the speed I was running, it only took me a few minutes to reach her house.

"Ness?" I called as I walked through the door. The living room was empty and I was about to go find her until she called back.

"I'll be down in a minute!" she said.

"I can come up if you want-"

"No!" she yelled sharply, then she returned to her normal self. "Just, stay down there - I'll be down in a- in a moment."

"You sure you're alright?"

When she replied her voice was closer and it sounded as if she was coming down the hall. I looked up and saw her at the top of the stairs and gracefully glided down them.

She looked... Stunning. I mean, she always looked stunning but there was something different about her today. It could have been just the mood - she didn't seem so resentful and it made me relax. Or it could have been how she smiled, it wasn't her most brilliant smile, but it was still one of her many smiles that I loved. Or it could have been how flawless her skin looked- wait - why is her skin flawless? What happened to the scars?

"Hi." she smiled. "You alright? You look sort of startled."

"You look... Amazing." I said as she approached me. "Guess the scars cleared up pretty quick. Insanely quick."

She gave a small shrug. "Guess so."

"So, you're really alone?"

"Yup. Well, I was alone... Then you came!" there was a strange spark in her voice. In fact there was just something strange about her, she seemed really happy. The happiest I'd seen her in weeks actually.

"So," I began, sliding my hand into my pockets. "Whatcha wanna talk about?"

"You know what I wanna talk about, Jacob. This 'thing' we've got going on, it's wrong, and I'm sorry it's dragged out so long. You should've told me the truth, I'm never going to say you were right for not telling me. But I've been pretty hard on you and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

So it looked like today would be the day she'd forgive me. Finally.

"It's alright. Really, I'm just glad that you're not mad at me anymore. You have no idea how much it's been killing me-"

"- I think I do." that was when she wrapped her hands round my neck and kissed me. It was the first time I'd felt her lips against mine in ages and there was something about it that brought strength to me that I hadn't felt before.

I didn't know how much she'd really forgiven me, so I decided to test the waters. Ours lips broke.

"I love you." I told her. She looked me straight in the eyes and I noticed how vibrant her brown eyes were. It was like there was a rainbow hidden beneath the brown - what was wrong with me today?

Her eyes just looked so warm. They were a deeper brown than usual there was almost a hint of red to the brown.

That was weird. That was really weird.

But she smiled at me. "I love you too." and I forgot ever worrying about her appearance.

"But," I held her shoulders and pushed her back a little so that I could really look at her. "You know that I'm sorry, right?" I asked. "I am really sorry that I didn't say anything."

She put a finger to my lips. "I know you're sorry, don't worry. I knew you were from the start, I was just too mad to see it."

I don't think she really understood how happy she'd made me and what she had just said had made me feel so relieved. There had been so many times over the past week where I had been so sure that I'd ruined everything. And the longer she resented me, the less hope I had for us. But everything was starting to look up again.

"Like I said, Jacob, I will always love you, not matter what. But that doesn't mean that you're immune to pissing me off. I just wish that you'd learn that there are something's that you need to tell me."

"I know, I should've learned from last time."

"Last time?" she asked.

"Yeah, Y'know, the whole me and Bella complicated past thing? You got angry because I should have told you, and I didn't."

Her lips twitched slightly. "Wait- yeah, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew that you'd be upset, devastated. Why would I want to do something like that to you?"

She sighed with a small grin on her face. "Well, unless you were trying deliberately to break my heart, I don't see why."

"Exactly, and I would never do that to you. I promise-"

"Jacob, I know there's something you're dying to ask me. Something that will make everything better. Something that will fix what is broken, so why don't do us both a favor and just do it?" she smiled suggestively at me. And she was right, I just didn't know if it was right. I didn't bring the ring with me. But it didn't matter, I could give it to her later. That is if she agreed.

I held her face and kissed her before asking "Will you marry me?"

She smiled and kissed me again. "Of course."

I found it weird when she locked the front door, but didn't push it when she slid her fingers through mine and led me up the stairs. A surge flushed through my veins as I shut her bedroom door behind me. Generally, when her family go hunting we would make the most of having the house to ourselves. And I suppose I still had expectations of that now that things were normal again, or reasonably normal. When she was practically pinning me to the door with our lips locked, I didn't see disappointment lurking anywhere nearby.

I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her before taking her over to the bed and dropping us onto it. It wasn't until I started to run my hands down her and her kisses became more forceful that I noticed how she wasn't kissing me like she would usually kiss me. It was hard for me to think about it when she was clawing at me like a... Like an animal.

I stared in wonder at every inch of flawless skin on her body as she sat on top of me. She ran her hands up my chest as she bent down to hover her lips over mine. There was definitely something different about her - and I liked it. She kissed me and I held her there for a long while then she smiled as she took her mouth away.

"Y'know, for a dog, you're very tamed, aren't you?" she said, extending her arms and putting her weight on her hands.

It took me a while to fully comprehend what she said. Was that a joke? For a joke, she said it pretty seriously.

But I laughed it off, nervously. Then she smiled and brought herself down again so her nose was only inches away from mine and she added,

"Shame you're just not as smart as you are tamed."

"What-?" and she crushed her lips to mine. And she giggled through the kisses.

"You and her are so alike. So stupid." And I felt her hair run across my face. I opened my eyes to find platinum blond curls running over my eyes.

She sat up again and I was about to launch myself at her but she clasped her icy hand around my throat.

"As much as I was looking forward to sleeping with, I gotta run. But don't worry, I'll leave you with something to remember this by." and before I could react she drew her hand back and in a flash, everything went black.

Alright, so this one was pretty short in comparison to the others :/ Sorry about that.

Anyway, let me know what you think! I hope you liked it!

Please Review!
