Chapter 14
Nessie's pov
Tonight was going good…so far. Nothing happen that would be to "adventurous"…yet. Funny how it seems that every time I'm able to have an amazing night with Jacob, something comes along and screws that up.
I looked over at my Jacob; who was glaring at a guy that was thinking disturbing thoughts about me. I couldn't help but show Jacob what all the townsmen were thinking. It was hilarious, but maybe I should have just worn sweats and a t-shirt for the poor guy's sake.
"I wish she never put on that outfit." Jacob thought. He's been thinking this every since we got here, and it's been driving me crazy.
I decided to put a mental block on the whole mind reading deal. That's where Daddy's and mine are different. When he has too hear thoughts twenty-four and seven; I can put a mental block on mine. Thank God my mother is a shield, since I learned it from her.
"You hungry?" I asked.
"Do you have to ask?" Jacob joked as we walked to a restaurant.
I noticed several of the waitresses were eyeing Jacob. Seriously! Even at a foreign country, women look at Jacob!
"I can't take you anywhere." I showed Jacob, as our waitress was fumbling with our menus.
"Now who's jealous? But let them look." Jacob said. I kicked him under the table.
"Ouch! Let me finish, impatient. I was saying: let them look at me, but it doesn't really matter though when I have you." Jacob said taking my hand. I smiled, looking down to blush.
"So…anything interesting?" I said looking at the menu.
"There's something."
"And what's that?"
"You."
We ate quickly, and then got back to the city lights.
Jacob pulled me close, and draped is arm over my shoulder.
"Tonight's been perfect?" Jacob said attempting to make conversation.
"So far." I answered. There was no phone call from my family-even though they probably wanted too-or no vampires. The perfect night was the right thing to say.
After a few more minutes, Jacob asked if I was ready to leave. I nodded.
All of a sudden some guy crashed into me, making me fall. Jacob caught me ahead of time.
"I'm going to kill the idiot who did that!" Jacob stormed off, and found the guy who crashed into me. I saw Jacob shake furiously as he grabbed the poor guy by the throat.
I understood why Jacob was tense this whole night. He was worried something would go wrong here or in Washington. He was worried that something would happen to me, while we were far away that he couldn't get help.
"Jacob! Stop! It's okay, no harm done." I got between them and made Jacob look at me.
I turned around and apologized to the terrified man, the dragged Jacob off to a dark place where nobody would see us.
"That was a stupid move, don't you think?" I snapped, pushing him against the stone building.
"He could have hurt-"
"So! I don't need you to kill every guy that's within a ten mile radius near me! I'm a big girl; I think I can take care of myself!" I growled at him.
"Nessie, don't you understand that I'm responsible-"
"Yeah, but that guy wasn't a vampire trying to kill me! He couldn't have done any harm to me! You overreacted and went off to kill him! Jacob, you could have exposed yourself! Not to mention me!" I shouted.
"Don't give me that! You've had your screw ups with almost exposing yourself." He snapped. That stung.
"I'm not arguing anymore." I snapped back. I didn't want to have this conversation. I was hurt enough.
I looked at Jacob, who had his hands clenched into fist. He was fighting the urge to phase and not hurt me.
"Let's go before one of us does something really stupid." I said putting my hand in his.
We were silent as we rode back to the vacation house. Awkward silence, huh?
"Has Kaleb called?" I asked. No word about if Hailey attacked yet. Nobody called.
"No."
"When are they suppose to attack?" I asked, aggravated that nobody had filled me in on our trip here.
"Alice saw that it would be late, but with the guys helping out, she wasn't so sure." Jacob answered. I shook my head okay. I obviously wasn't going to get more out of him.
I still wanted to be with my family. I wanted to be there if something should go wrong. Jacob needed to be there if something did go wrong.
"I know that face. What are you thinking about?" Jacob knew me so well.
I debated on what I should tell him. I still haven't told him about us moving. I still didn't know what to do myself.
"Um…how tonight was amazing." I showed him, so he wouldn't know that I was lying to him. I hated doing it to him, but I wasn't sure on how he would take it.
I scooted over next to him, relaxing, and then yawned.
"I have a feeling you'll be out by the time we get back." Jake joked. I punched him in the arm, then laughed. He was probably right.
"Did you really enjoy tonight? Because I know I did." he joked. I giggled. Even after our short little argument; I would still saw tonight was perfect.
"Yes, in fact I did. Did you?"
"I had you with me; so what do you think?" he kissed me on the forehead.
For some reason, I started to think about when I was attacked. And I couldn't get it out of my head. It was starting to annoy me.
"Jake? What would you do if I ever died?" I couldn't help it. I had to ask what my Jacob would do if something ever happen to me. Although, I probably knew the answer.
"You know. And that's a stupid question." I gave my Jacob a look. I didn't think it was.
"No it isn't? I know you would be broken, but what would you do if I left?"
"What if I didn't want you too?" Jacob slammed hard on the brakes, throwing me forward.
"That's what you decided?! That you're going to go off and leave me? How many times do I have to tell you-or you go off and leave without a good-bye for that matter-does it take you to understand that; leaving me is another way of killing me! You know I can't be away from you!" Jacob said. I looked down as tears brimmed my eyes.
"Maybe." I mumbled. Jacob looked out the window. There I go screwing up our night.
"What else have you thought of? Calling it quits between us, too?" I looked at my Jacob shocked.
I'd never thought of us breaking up; but if we did, what would happen between us?
"I can't believe you just said that? No, Jacob, I do not want us to break up. Why can't you understand that I love you, but if all we do is fight-" I stopped, not wanting to say another word.
I got out the car, tears streaming my face. Maybe we did need to call it quits, and go back to just being best friends?
I heard Jacob get out of the car, and try to follow me.
"No. Please Nessie, don't do this. Don't walk away." Jacob's thoughts begged.
"Is all the imprint relationships like this; because if it is, it's really not worth it." I said over my shoulder as I heard my Jacob run up behind me.
"Don't follow me." I commanded, pushing Jacob away.
"I'll always follow you. You know you can never get rid of me." I knew he was trying to lighten the subject, but it just wasn't working.
Before I realized it, Jacob already had me wrapped up in his arms.
"I'm sorry." I sobbed in his chest.
"I am too." he said, his voice muffled in my hair.
"Its just…with school, and the Volturi, and Hailey…I don't know what to do!" I sobbed.
Jacob let me lean into his, while I cried.
"I know I haven't supported your decisions. I'm sorry. Let's just drop-"
"No. We need to talk about this now! I've got to decide what I want to really do in my life!" I didn't want to talk about it, but it was a subject that needed to be discussed.
Jacob didn't say anything. His thoughts though said that he was going to follow me anywhere. Was I ready for that?
"You are my top priority, you know that right?" Jacob simply thought. He had to say that? That was bringing the tears more to my eyes.
"I wish you never said that." I said letting a few more drops of tears fall.
"Why?" I didn't answer, but simply kissed him. That's what I needed. Hopefully.
We let the subject drop then.
"Let's go back to the house." Jacob said as we pulled away.
He picked me up and sat me gently in the car.
I need to go back to not thinking…
~~~~ Forever Yours ~~~~
We pulled up to the house-which was lit up like lights on Christmas. Just, something wasn't right.
"Stay in the car." Jacob ordered as he got out and walked to the car.
I followed. There was defiantly a vampire in the house, and it wasn't me.
"I thought I told you to stay in the car!"
"You know I don't listen." I said, staying close to Jacob as we walked slowly upstairs.
We split. I went into our bedroom, while Jacob went into another room.
Just I walked into the room, and saw a vampire was standing there right in front of me.
I gasped.
"Why hello, Renesmee. Long time, no see. I see you have recovered well." Akken turned around, saying this to me.
"Jacob." I showed my Jacob. Seconds later he was by my side.
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to be with Jane last time. I would have loved to see you." Akken said. Jacob growled.
"To see if I lived?" I snapped.
"I knew you would."
"What do you want now?!" Jacob growled. He pushed me back behind him. My nails dug into his skin, as I gripped his shoulder.
"For no reason, really. Just came to see how Nessie was doing. She's certainly has gotten more beautiful than she was last time."
I held Jacob back as Akken used my nickname.
"Jake, he's part of the Volturi now. You can't attack him like it's nothing. Aro's going to want every excuse to have a serious death sentence over us." I showed him.
"Yeah, but he tried to kill you." Jacob thought. My nails went deeper. So bad that they were drawing blood.
"Thank you for the compliment, Akken. That is nice of you to say that." I said with fake niceness. He knew it was fake, but still pretended to be taken back about the comment.
"You need to leave." Jacob snapped.
"Not until I give you one warning-"
"What? That's somebody's going to finish the job of killing my girl?!"
"Quite possible." Akken joked, but by his thoughts, he had no intentions of finishing the job of killing me.
"THAT'S IT!" Jacob yelled then lunged. I was strong enough to hold him back, digging my nails into his skin even deeper.
"You're wondering why you can't phase and not kill me, huh Jacob?" As Akken was saying this; it hit me then, Daniel was near.
"I still could."
"Yes, but you have Renesmess's nails digging into your skin. A very painful way to be held back, I should say." Jacob didn't answer.
"What's the warning?" I showed the vampire.
"Never doubt Hailey or Marcello. Their smarter than you think."
"Thank you for telling us something we already know. We really appreciate that." Jacob said in a cold sarcastic tone.
Akken laughed, and then flew out the French doors. He disappeared to wherever he came from.
I let his warning sink in. We knew that Hailey was smart, but we a have underestimated her. Could we do it again?
"Nessie?"
"Hmm?" I said snapping out of my thoughts.
Could you get you nails out of my back? Literally." Jacob asked jokingly, but I could tell that he was in a small amount of pain with me doing that.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, Jake." I said. I noticed there were blood stains and tear marks where my nails were.
"No harm done, but why did you hold me back? I could have easily killed him."
"Because it would be a stupid decision to try and kill a Volturi member. You know Aro's going to look for any way for us to fight." I answered, standing in front of Jacob.
"He could have hurt you."
"Be rational. You were standing right in front of me. Besides, I had my strong wolf to protect me." I said, putting my hand on his neck, making our heads closer so he would kiss me.
"Well, he was with them when they tried to kill you. And I promised if I found anyone of them, I would kill them." Jacob said, saying the last part full of hatred.
"I know he was there. I was the victim, remember?"
"How could I forget?" Jacob said getting angry. I knew he was upset that he had the perfect opportunity of killing Akken. He was upset that he didn't.
"Calm down, Jake." I whispered, pulling his head to mine so that he was inches apart. He seemed to be calming down.
"You know my weakness." he said huskily. I smiled.
"I seem to know all your weaknesses…Jakey wakey." I joked-using the nickname that I know he hates-and pushed him down on the bed. He pulled me down with him.
"Jakey wakey, hmm? We'll see about that?" Just then Jacob started tickling me.
"Stop, STOP!" I showed him, not being able to laugh, as my laughing got worse.
He didn't listen.
My head was by his neck. Without thinking about it, I bit down on his neck. Hard.
Jake put his hand over the spot where I had bit him, and pushed back a few inches. I saw the look on his face: shocked with a mixture of humor.
"What did I just do?" I asked shocked myself.
"Bite me. You haven't done that since you were a few days old." he said, laughing. I don't see where this was funny.
"Good thing you're not venomous, or I'd be screwed." Jake joked.
"How can you joke about something like this? Jake, I…" I trailed, not knowing what to say.
"I know."
"Jake! I. Bit. You. We-I caused an argument between us! God I'm so stupid." I growled aggravated, plopping my head on a pillow.
"Don't put the blame on yourself; and look, it's already healed." Jake pulled me into his lap. I touched the spot I bit. Nothing was there. No scar. No trace of showing that I did that to him.
"What about what I did to your back?"
Jacob unbuttoned his shirt, slid it off, and turned around. His back was like his neck. Nothing there.
I moved my hands gently over where my nails were. I don't know why I'm overreacting about this. I know Jake can heal quickly. I guess I'm just worried if something did hurt him, he won't be able to heal from it. I'm scared he'll leave me.
"You have a tendency of doubting the amazing wolf healing." Jacob said kissing me. Of course that kiss sparked a hunger in me that wanted more.
"Let's just forget everything that's happen tonight." Jake said close to my ear.
I kicked my heals off as Jacob wrapped me in his warm, strong embrace. He started whispering a lullaby in Quileute in my ear as we stayed there.
After a long period of silence, I started to doze off. I thought Jacob was asleep to; but was proved, wrong when he bent his head over to whisper something in my ear.
"Yes."
I turned to look at him confused. What was he talking about?
"Yes, what?" I showed him.
"All of the imprint couples argue; and if it makes you feel better, we're not even the one's who's argued the most." Jacob said brushing the hair out of my eyes. That made me feel better knowing it was normal for us to argue.
"But the imprint always wins so I don't know if it actually counts as an argument." He said, turning me so that I was on top of him.
"I guess so, but who's the one who has the most arguments?"
"Who do you think?" Jake smiled mischievously at me.
"Rachel and Paul?"
"Correct as always." Jacob said smiling at me.
"Well, that's…" I trailed sure what to say. What was I suppose to say? Oh, that's reassuring?
Jacob and I looked at each other and laughed.
"I know what your thinking." he said.
"You know me so well." I said resting my head on his chest.
"Jake?"
"Hmm?"
"What are we going to do?"
"I was hoping to get a few hours of sleep before the sun comes up."
"Sorry." I said joking. He laughed and shook his head.
"I love you, Renesmee Cullen. Nothing can ever change that."
I had my head in the books for the rest of the night. Might as well do something. I couldn't sleep, so why not?
Sometimes I wonder why it was so easy for me to do schoolwork. Oh wait, I'm part vampire. Forget about that. Yeah right.
As I was finishing it, I decided to head to the music room. I only caught a glimpse of it when we got here. I didn't know exactly what was in there.
I walked in to find several different common instruments. Including a beautiful, black piano.
I saw down on the beach and let my fingers glaze over the white keys. I haven't played the piano in a while.
I decided to play a piece I knew by heart. Daddy and I sat there for hours composing it together.
As I played, I realized Daddy hasn't played the piano in a while. Now even my mother's lullaby he composed when she was human. Maybe it was because he was more focused on Hailey and the Volturi.
I heard my phone go off. Speak of the devil.
"Hello?" I answered.
"How is my little girl?" My father said on the other line of the phone.
"Fine. Have there been any attacks yet?" I took Akken's warning into consideration. Have you ever heard of respect the unexpected?
"Alice's vision saw that it would rain, but it was hazy. It's supposed to rain tomorrow night." So it could be tomorrow.
"Is everything safe over there?" I debated on whether I should tell daddy that Jake and I had a special visit from someone.
"Akken dropped by." I said like you would use if a friend you haven't seen in years made a surprise visit.
"WHAT?! Did he harm you, or-"
"No. He told us to never doubt Hailey or Marcello."
"He could have-"
"Daddy, I can read minds like you. He had intentions of harming me. If he did; Jacob could have easily took care of him." Yeah, besides the fact that my nails were stuck in his back.
"I want you to hear something." I said, hoping to divert the conversation to something else.
I put the phone on speaker, laying it down. I started to play what I played earlier.
After a few minutes I heard my father play the same thing.
I closed my eyes, imagining being beside him playing. My family all around me. Like it was before all of this started.
After going through it about two more times together, I stopped.
"I missed that." Daddy said. I could still hear the soft melody in the background.
"Me too."
"I love you, Renemsee. I'll see you soon." We said good-bye then hung up. My family must really trust me. Maybe their realizing that I'm becoming an adult.
Just then I heard Jacob come up behind me.
"Beautiful." he said, sitting down beside.
"Flattery will get you no where." I joked, patting his shoulder.
"It's not flattery. It's truth." Jacob said, kissing my lips. He looked tired. I guess my music playing woke him up.
"Sorry I woke up." I showed him.
"Don't be. I've been so used to sleeping light, it's became a force of habit. How long have you been up?"
"Long enough to finish half of my assignment. I got bored, and now here we are. I told Daddy about how Akken stopped by." Jacob tensed up when I said that. He still wished I let him attack.
"Daddy said Hailey could attack tomorrow." I added. Jake took a deep breather.
I could see him get even more tensed. He leaned forward and put his head in his hands.
"I hope Kaleb doesn't screw it up."
Kaleb was put while Jake was with me. He's been in charge before. Taking the spot, while Jacob was by my side when I was attacked. But this has been the first time he's been in charge when there was a vampire attack. It's always been Jacob.
"He'll be fine." I said, putting my hand on Jacob's shoulders.
"I hope so. I didn't assign him beta for nothing."
"Kaleb's going to do fine. Between my family and the pack, it'll be an easy win. We can go back to normal boring lives we had before." I said.
Honestly, I had faith in my family and the wolves.
"What made you so confident? Just a few hours ago you were completely the opposite." Jacob said. I laid my head on his shoulder, as I started to play the piano again.
"I was hoping for the best. What else can I do?"
"I think I can figure something out to help." Jacob leaned in; but before he could kiss me, his phone went off.
"Don't you need to answer that?" I asked. He smiled and pulled me closer to him, our lips touching.
"If it's important, they'll call back." The phone stopped ringing as we continued. Then it started up again.
"Jake?"
"Hmm?"
"It's important." Jake huffed then answered.
"Hello?" There was a while of silence, and then Jake hung up.
"I guess wrong number." he said. I nodded, trying to hold back a yawn.
Jacob scooped me up and carried me to our room.
"I love you." I whispered into his neck. He laid me down and got beside me.
I curled next to him and relaxed.
Jacob was still worried. Maybe he actually listened to Akken? Maybe we shouldn't underestimate Hailey?
I pushed that into the back of my mind. I was safe. Jake was safe. I had him with me. If something went wrong in Washington, they would call.
I heard Jacob's phone go off again. Jacob groaned-half asleep-in aggravation as he got up to answer it.
"Yeah?" Jacob answered. I rolled over, rubbing my eyes as Jacob walked out the room.
"Did you…" I only heard bits and pieces-thanks to my half asleep state-but as far as I know, Jake was talking to Kaleb.
"Put Sam and Paul on the three until there under control. Keep an eye on the young ones, but don't let anybody run alone. We don't know what those leeches will do…"
After w while Jacob hung up. I expected him to come back and go back to sleep. He just stayed on the balcony.
By his thought; five guys phased. Two in front of their parents, three have short tempers. All five are learning it the hard way about disobeying the second and third in command.
Joseph and a few new others were wanting to more.
Jacob had anybody fifteen and under only do a few hour patrols, and make them stay home and study during their free times. Under normal circumstances.
I walked out onto the balcony where Jacob was leaning against the railing. I wrapped my arms around him from behind.
"Alice said Hailey changed her mind." Jake said.
"So she's not going to attack?"
"She is. Just don't know when." It must be hard knowing the pack needs him, and he can't be there.
"I love you. Go back to bed." Jake said, turning around to kiss me.
"Where are you going?" I asked, knowing it was a dumb question.
"See if I can see what's going on, and to see if we're going to get any surprise visitors." He kissed me again. We stayed like that. Looking into each other eyes.
"Are you going?" I asked.
"Got sidetracked"
"By who?" I knew the answer though.
"You." I slapped him on the shoulder as he jumped off the balcony.
I laughed.
I didn't feel like staying in the bedroom, so I decided to head to the library.
After several minutes of choosing what books to read, then went down to the living room.
I plopped down on the couch-settling on what channel to put it on-and started reading. Half focused anyway.
Jacob did say how long he was going to be. I hope everything was okay.
It has to be. But Akken said to never underestimate Hailey. She's smarter than we know. Could that mean something?
Did Jacob see something? Has he found something? Or has something happen to him?
After a while, I finished my book and started dozing off again. Then I felt warm hands wrap around me.
"Jake?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
"Who else." I tiredly kicked him as he sat down. I curled up against him as if I was a child.
"Just checking." I mumbled, still half asleep.
"What took you so long?" I showed him.
"I had to give a few of the new ones an 'alpha speech' " I don't even want to know what he said.
"How can you understand what their saying, Ness?" Jacob asked, acknowledging the station I had it on.
"Huh?" I asked. Jacob laughed, picked me up, and walked upstairs.
"Goodnight, beautiful" Jacob whispered tired in my ear before pulling me closer to him.
I forgot everything that happen today, but I know I'm going to have to figure out…everything.
But tonight, nothing spoiled tonight. Not our argument, the visit from Akken, me biting Jacob. Maybe even knowing Jacob and I aren't the couple who argues the most out of the imprints. That made me feel just a little better. I know its mean, but could you blame me?
I know for one thing: Jacob needs to know we're moving. Maybe he already figured it out? He knows we'll eventually have to leave. But I had a choice of staying. Who do I choose? My family or Jacob?
Do I love Jacob enough to stay with him? Could we really be together that long?
