Chapter Twenty-

The best part of believe is the lie.

Nessie's POV:

"Your Uncles, Dad, and Jacob are very tight lipped on what happen tonight; care to share?" Rose sped down the road taking a couple glances at me. I had my head leaned against the door, tears still pouring slowly from my eyes, "I can always turn it around and beat it out of whoever I have too.." she glanced to me once more, placing her hand on my shoulder, "It'll be much easier then telling your mom," she squeezed lightly.

Ugh. I so didnt want to tell my mother anything.

I didnt even want my father and uncles to know the pre wolf fight details.

So I guess Rosalie was my only option. She'd sugar coat it for the 'rents and help me sort through it all.

I sighed. Not sure where to start.

"Its helps to start at the beginning," she smiled at me, pulling the car to a stop in front of Lake Como.

Two thoughts crossed through my mind.

One - that sometimes Rose seemed to have the mind reading gift instead of my father. Or maybe it was just she knew me best, and I blocked my father from my mind with a mental wall to much for him to even have a chance to know what was in my head.

Two - riding on the same mind reading gift train of thought, she always knew where to take me, to make me feel at ease with her.

I hadn't realized Id been in the car with her for a little over an hour, I guess at the speed she drove, she knocked off the extra time it would have taken a normal person to reach Lake Como.

I sighed again, as she waited patiently for me to start.

"Want to get out of the car?" she brushed her hand through my hair. I shook my head.

"He lied. He's a shifter, he was just a part of an initiation and, and he made me scream like Uncle Emmett makes you scream," if she could have blushed I was sure she would have at my ending words, I took a quick breath, and started on the next issue, "Not only is he a shifter all his friends are! And Jacob. He's known Jacob all this time. Jake caught us, and Jake phased, I never seen him so hurt and pissed, not since Billy died." I lowered my head looking at my hands as I picked at my fingernails, the memory of Billy sadden me. It'd only been a year since he had died and I hadn't been as close as everyone else had, but he was still a special person to me.

I stopped talking for a long moment. "He made me cry." I whispered, not really wanting Rosalie to hear me say the words. She reacted exactly how I expected her to.

"Who? Who made you cry?"

"Both of them. But I kinda expected it from Will, not sure why. But Jake, he..."

"He what?" she pressed wanting to know.

"After he phased, I tried to stop him and Will, before I knew Will was a wolf, I tried to pull him away, he flung me across the room," her eyes widen and that was all it took. She started to mumble obscenities as she started the car again, flying down the road, "Rosalie please im not ready to go home, he'll be there,"

"Dont worry I'll kill him, that stupid mutt," she didnt look away from the road, she pushed the car as fast as it would go and then some, I clocked the time it took her to get home. She'd knocked fifteen minutes off her time. Uncle Emmett was the first out of the house. Dad must have heard her thoughts about wanting to kill Jacob.

"Babe, seriously killing him isn't gonna do any of us any good," Uncle Emmett placed his hands up in defense as he kept Rosalie from going inside.

"Okay I won't kill him, that mongrel I'll just tear his arm off," Uncle Emmett smiled, grabbing her arms.

"Rose, as much as I wanna watch you break Jake into pieces, Edward asked me to keep you in control, and doing that's gonna hurt Nessie even more then she's already hurting," I watched him chuckle softly before his face went serious again. She huffed.

"He better keep one eye open when he thinks about sleeping around here!" she bellowed. I couldn't help but smile, I loved Rose.

"Wanna fill me in?" my dad's voice broke into my mind. I looked to see him standing on the steps. My mother by his side.

"The dog flung her," I watched my dad clench his fist, and my mother place a hand on his shoulder. She must have let down her shield and was having another silent conversation with him. Because he un-tensed himself and looked to me. Jake appeared out of the house stepping quickly around my parents and making sure he kept enough distance between himself and Rose at the same time enough distance between him and my dad. Making him closer to me then I would have liked at the moment.

"Ness, I swear I didnt mean to fling you, I... please, im sorry," he stuck his hands out; I figured he wanted a hug or something. I shook my head.

"Im not fond of Wolves at the moment," I crossed my arms, looking to the ground, a few tears releasing from my eyes. I held my mental wall up refusing to infuriate my father anymore then necessary.

"Neither am I." I heard him whisper.

"Just go away, none of us want you here, go back to whatever it was you were doing before you found me tonight, and forget I exist once again," I purposely pushed with enough force passed him, to make him take a couple steps back. I hurried around my parents and up to my room, slamming and locking the door, pressing my forehead against it kicking repeatedly as I sobbed.

After I kicked the door for the millionth time, I listened to the voices coming from outside, I stepped to my window and stared down as my dad talked to Jake. He looked as broken as I felt.
