Chapter twenty five- over
Renesmee POV
"Why are you constantly putting yourself in danger?" Jake asked harshly. "Are you trying to prove something? If you are then I need you to know that you have nothing to prove. Maybe you should just leave, go home."
"Are you dumping me?" Hayden asked shocked.
Please yes. I crossed my fingers tightly behind my back.
"No," Jake muttered. "I'm just saying that it's probably not the best idea to spend so much time with werewolves. We're a bad influence on you and I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you all because you were copying what we were doing."
"But you're not a bad influence-"
"For Christ's sake Hayden! You could have drowned! You very nearly did."
"If I hadn't hit my head-"
"Yes but you did hit your head! And you could have cracked your skull open!"
"Stop yelling at me," Hayden whimpered.
"Why doesn't he just get rid of her?" Embry whispered to no one in particular. "He can do so much better plus Hayden is so annoying."
I swear every single person/ werewolf who lived in LaPush- which wasn't really that many- was gathered outside the Black's house. Everyone had decided that seeing as it was a nice day everyone should get together for a barbeque tea and Billy had volunteered to have it at his house.
"I am not yelling!" Jake yelled.
Jake had brought Hayden back to his house to sleep after her near death experience. She'd woken up about an hour ago and Jake had gone in to talk to her but he'd only just started yelling.
"Well if you don't consider this as yelling," Hayden said matching his volume, "then I'd hate to see you really yell."
"I can't put up with this anymore, Hayden," Jake said as though he hadn't heard her.
"Sorry about this," Billy apologised to a large lady with long grey hair.
"Put up with what, Jacob?" Hayden demanded.
"You being like you are to everyone! You wonder why no one likes you!"
"We never used to fight until the vampire came." She said vampire like it was a dirty word.
"Leave Renesmee out of this!" Jake said angrily.
"Why? Because you love her?" Hayden shouted.
"Yes!" Jake replied. "A hell of a lot more than I love you I might add! And that's not just because I imprinted on her either!"
My mouth dropped open in surprise. I could feel everyone's eyes on me but the only thing I could think about was what Jake had just said. Was what he was talking about brotherly love or love love?
There was a few seconds of silence-inside and outside- before Hayden quietly said, "Really? Is that really how you feel Jacob?" Her voice was flat, toneless.
"Yes Hay," his voice had suddenly become kinder, "and I'm sorry. Sorry about how I feel and sorry about breaking it to you so horribly."
"Fine!" Hayden snarled suddenly.
"Hay-"
"Don't touch me Jacob Black! Just leave me alone!" She screamed. "It's over between us!"
A door slammed and Hayden's footsteps echoed through the house as she headed toward the front door.
Jared and Colin leapt out of the way just as the door flew open, narrowly missing them. Hayden stomped down the steps.
"He's all yours," Hayden said as she passed me. Even though she didn't look at me or even acknowledge my presence I knew she was talking to me.
And for some reason I'd won yet I felt bad.
"Hayden," I said quickly. "Wait."
She spun round glaring at me. "What?" She demanded. "Want to rub it in some more? Congratulations Renesmee, you won! He's all yours so go knock yourself out!" She gestured towards the house, towards Jacob.
"I am so sorry… I…" I stuttered. I felt so bad seeing her stand there almost in tears. What had I done? It was my fault! I ruined everything! Couldn't I just accept the fact that the guy I loved had already found someone? No clearly not.
"Don't bother! I knew I had no chance."
"Of course you did Hayden. He loved you, he loves you," I insisted.
"Sure," she scoffed. "Really seems like it."
"He told me more than once that he did." God I was soft! I was trying to make Hayden feel better all because I felt bad for her.
"Did hearing him say that break your heart?" She asked softly like she actually cared about my feelings.
I looked at my bare feet not sure what to say.
"I have to say," she continued and I looked up to find all the kindness completely gone from her face, it had been replaced by a smug look crossed with pure hatred. "I enjoyed watching him break you over and over. It made me feel good seeing the pain my being with him caused you. I enjoyed seeing that you weren't as tough as you acted. Inside you're just a scared, weak little girl."
Suddenly I no longer cared about anything at all to do with Hayden Ateara. For all I cared she could go throw herself under a train. Or better yet off the cliff again but this time make sure no one is there to save her puny little butt.
"Yeah, well Hayden that just shows that my maturity level is way higher than yours no matter my age." I wanted to say a lot more but I forced myself to turn my back and walk away from her.
Hayden began to say something in return but a sharp voice cut her off.
"Hayden! That is enough!"
"Your not my mother!" Hayden spat. "I'll decide when it's enough!"
"I may not be your mother but I am your aunt and when you are in my care you are my responsibility, which means I am in charge."
"I'm old enough to look after-"
"Your still a child, not yet eighteen. Now come, I'm going to call your mother and arrange for you to be sent home. I can't put up with you anymore."
Seems like Jake wasn't the only one that couldn't put up with her.
I didn't turn to watch Hayden leave; I lowered myself onto the bench between Rachel and Leah.
It was finally over!
"There's no need to feel bad," Rachel said.
"It wasn't your fault," Leah agreed.
"Oh I know and I don't feel bad. I'm just glad she's gone."
"Here here," Rachel and Leah chorused holding their hands up for high five's.
Thanks for reading and I hate to say but we're nearing the end of Not Quite Normal :'( there is only one chapter and then the epilogue left to go :0 chapter 26 should be out soon and then the epilogue shouldn't be far behind (I hope) remember if you want me to write a sequal then go to my page and do the poll there and if you have any random comments that you think I could improve on or something I could include in the next story (thats if I write another) then review and tell me.
