Edward /Alice's / Jacobs P.O.V.
(Edward)
I had turned my own daughter against me. I couldn't make it right not even by telling myself that I did this to protect her. She would never forgive me.
"It'll work out my love" Bella said, sitting on my lap and pulling my arms around her.
"I hope so"
"So what the hell do we know about this creep?" Alice asked descending from the stairs.
"His name is Mutatio" (Moo-tay-tee-oh)
"Change?" Jasper asked. That's what his name meant or in this case, shift .
"He's Latin" Jasper added
"Yes" I answered
How close is he? Alice thought
"Not far" I said. We stood in silence, we couldn't allow him to get close enough to hurt Renesmee.
"Em says she's talking" Alice broke the tension.
"That's good" I half smiled. She wasn't talking to me.
"I'm going to go switch with Emmett now' Alice chimed
(Alice)
"You can go join the others " I said to Emmett, taking his place next to Ness. When I sat down she smiled at me, slightly.
"I wish you could see me clearly in your visions" She was a lot better
"Why sweetie?"
"So you could tell me if I was going to be alright"
"You are going to be alright" I put my hand on her leg.
"That's what everyone keeps saying. I'm not convinced"
"If you cheer up, maybe I'll work something out with Edward and you can see Jacob" She flinched when I said Jacob but then she smiled and I saw a sparkle in her eyes. There's hope. She sat all the way up, which took me by surprise.
"What do I have to do?" She groaned. Ha, a breakthrough.
"Eat something" I grinned
"Ok" She whispered
"I'll be right back" I said. I ran downstairs and grabbed her a PB&J and some lemonade.
"Now she's eating" I sang as I passed everyone in the living room.
" Here" I handed her meal to her.
"Thanks" I smiled as she devoured the sandwich. She is so stubborn, she's been hungry this whole time but refused to eat.
"Now, how about you get dressed" I advised
"Rome wasn't built in a day" She snapped. I see this depression has done nothing for that mouth of hers.
I sighed deeply "So much like Bella, she was stubborn too".
"Was?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Yea, that much hasn't changed about her" I laughed
"So I guess I need to hold up my end of the deal, huh?" I said before walking back downstairs.
"Edward a word?"
"Yes" He replied
"I think she deserves a little time off for good behavior"
"Ok" He said without moving
"So, get a certain werewolf over here before you lose your daughter" I ordered. He was just as stubborn as both his girls.
"Alice, do you really think that's wise in her state. She won't be able to handle him leaving again"
"It'll give her just a speck of hope, which might just be enough to get our Nessie back"
"Edward" Bella elbowed him
"Alright, I'll go get him" He glared at me when he passed to go out the front door
"Thank-you" I called after him
"Alice one, Edward zero" I said to myself. I walked next to Jasper to peck him on the cheek before returning to Nessies side.
" Um Ness why don't you go get yourself together" I suggested and she smiled. She pulled herself out of bed but was having trouble standing. I caught her by her arm and helped her to the bathroom. When she was done I helped her back in bed. Ewww, I could smell him already. Her eyes lit up when he walked in her bedroom.
"I'll give you two some privacy"
(Jacob)
It was as if my heart had been restarted, I felt a jolt of electricity pulsate through my body. I could breathe again.
"Hey" I said. She didn't greet me, she toyed idly with her hair. I was at a loss for words.
"I know…..I know you're upset but…
"Upset?" she shook her head
"You left me" She said sharply
"Yea, I messed up but trust me it was..
"For my own good" She finished my sentence
"Look, spare my feelings ok, I've heard the same story from everyone in this house" Where had my Ness gone? I kneeled next to her bed and she moved away from me. Ok, that hurt. I still couldn't tell her why I left, Edward told me it could affect the future. I grabbed her hand in both of mine and she tried to pull away but I didn't let her. I had no words to explain my behavior. Nothing I could say now can mend her. If she only knew that I never meant those things I said and did.
"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that's what you've given me. I felt empty this whole time I've been away from you, like my entire being was gone and not just half of me. I know you've felt it too. You can be mad at me, it's ok but we belong together."
"How do you know I haven't already moved on?" She asked with tears in her eyes
"Because you'd never give up on me. Because you know in the back of your mind and in your heart that he, whoever he might be won't watch your favorite movies and let you tell him your favorite parts even though you've seen it a million times, he won't hold you when you cry, He won't sing to all your music, Like I do. Because you know that we might make each other mad, sad, frustrated, and crazy but there is nobody in this world right for us than each other" She threw her arms around me and held me close.
"I love you and I won't live this eternal life without you" She broke down.
"You have no concept as to how much I love you, more than my own existence" I crushed my lips to hers and I could feel the hole in my chest being replace by love, the love I've always felt for her. We both pulled apart and she cried some more.
"I can't explain everything right now but I have to leave, I'm sorry" I wiped her tears
" You're keeping something from me" She said with suspicion
" I'll explain, I promise"
"I can't make you stay, can I?"
"If only it were that easy" I smiled
"Goodnight" She knew this wasn't goodbye
"How lucky I am to have someone who makes saying goodbye so hard" I kissed her forehead and jumped off the patio. I wanted to run home, I didn't need Edward in my head all the way back to La Push. Leaving her didn't hurt as much as before. Last time I felt my heart slowly shattering into a million pieces, this time it was more like a piece of my heart was being torn out. I was broken then, now I'm torn.
