Thank you again fro beeing so awsome and lovely! Now enjoy this chapter!
Truce
I fought against the desire of open my eyes. I didn't want to wake up, because I knew what would happen.
Yesterday, had I decided to face Edward. I'd said to myself that I would meet him this afternoon. Yesterday.
Today, I didn't want to wake up. I didn't want to face him. I wasn't ready to do that.
My eyelids are fluttering, not deciding whether they to open up or not. I'm trying to fall back asleep. Meaningless tries, though.
"Ness?" Jake's voice made my eyes open with a shot. "Can I come in?"
"Yes" I immediately regretted that. Couldn't I let him thing I was still asleep?
He opened the door and was carrying a tray.
"Good morning, love" he smiled.
My heart fluttered like every time when he smiled and called me 'love'.
"Morning" I smiled back.
"I made you breakfast" he put the tray on my lap.
I breath in the smell of eggs, toast, coffee and orange juice. It was all pretty put on the tray. I lifted and eyebrow at him.
"Fine. Rachael made it. I just brought it." I could see the tiny bit of hurt in his eyes.
"Well, it's the thought that counts" I leaned and kissed his cheek "Thank you" he smiled after.
When I'd ate did I put away the tray. I knew he wanted to talk to me, but he hadn't said a word while I ate, so he was probably saving it.
I looked at him until he spoke.
"When are you going talk to him?" he asked me.
I sighed "Not decided yet. Why?"
"I need to be somewhere at three, but you know I want to drive you to your…" he trailed off and chuckled at my surprised expression "What is it?"
"Where are you going?"
"I tell you what. If it all goes as I hope, I'll tell you tonight. If not, we forget about it"
I knew he wouldn't give in so I had to go with it. For this time. I took a look at my clock
"Be ready In two hours"
He nodded, took the tray and kissed my on the forehead before leaving the room.
Love you
Love you too
I showered and changed. I put on some tight, dark blue jeans, a white blouse, a black jacket with up rolled sleeves and black ankle boots.
I let my hair down, slightly wavy and with perfect rolls at the ends. It had grown a little since lately, but still short.
"You ready?" I asked Jake who was sitting with Billy watching TV.
"Wow, Ness. Looking good" he said as he raised from the couch.
"you're not bad either" I eyed him. He was wearing a dark, olive green button up shirt tucked in his dark pants. He was also wearing a black jacket and black leather shoes. I'd never seen him this dressed up. Not since Alice had put her hands on him when I was sick. This made me more curious of where he was going.
He walked to be and grabbed my hand "Shall we?"
I nodded and walked to the door.
"Good luck. Both of you" Billy said after us. He knew what Jake was up to.
As we entered the way that led us to the house, did y heart start to pound hard. Jake noticed it.
"You don't have to do it if you don't want to"
"Yes, I have" he didn't say more.
Both my parents were waiting for me on the cottage porch. Jake stopped the car and I took a deep breath before turning to face him.
"Good luck on whatever you don't tell me"
He chuckled "You too" he kissed my forehead and I stepped out of the car.
I saw how Edward glared at Jake. I turned around and saw Jake looking at him the same way.
"Hi baby" mom hugged me.
"Hey mom" I hugged back. I'd been to long without her hugs. She leaned away and Edward stepped in.
"Hi sweet heart" he smiled slightly.
"Edward" I nodded in his direction and his smile vanished.
"Renesmee Carlie" my mom hissed
"What?" I asked nonchalantly.
"No, Bella, it's okay. I understand. Come in, please" he moved away from the door and I stepped in.
It felt like I hadn't been in here for ages. It was all the same.
We went to the kitchen table and sat down.
The way they both looked at me was strange. They looked, understanding. Like if they where looking at a grown up person, not their daughter.
"Well, you do look older" Edward said. "We've missed you around here"
I just nodded.
"So what do you want to talk about?" mom asked.
"I wanted to explain myself" I thought of all I'd said the night when I left.
"I never thought you felt that way" Edward looked at me "And you have to know, we all feel so bad about it."
"You don't have to" I begun "You didn't know, because I didn't tell you. Everything I said where just things that I once had thought of. I've always felt a bit different during my lifetime, I've felt guilty. I feel like I've disappointed you. I was not what you expected. And I know, I'm special, but that doesn't change the fact of who I am. I am a fast growing hybrid, I am supposed to be different. But, with all the special treatments, does it feel like you want me to change, to be different. And I can't. This is who I am. Yes, I am only seven, but I don't look or feel like seven. I just need to know you can accept that, before I decide to come back"
I looked at them. They were processing every word I'd said. Edward looked double confused as my thoughts were all around the place.
"Honey, you have to know that it's hard for us not see you as a baby, because that's what you are" Edward said
"Well, mom's the same age as me, no one tells her different"
"She's eighteen…"
"Ain't I? that's what I'm talking about. I want you to see me and treat me as the grown up I actually are"
"But, Ness-"
"She's right" mom cut Edward off. "We are the same age, kind of. I am forever frozen at eighteen, she'll be it too. You know how much I've struggled with you to see that I actually can handle myself. Give her a chance."
He sighed loudly "I'll try" he said.
"It's all I ask for. Thank you Edward"
"So, what happened with dad?"
"Still, one thing at the time."
"Truce?" he looked me in the eyes and held a hand out.
"truce" I stretched out my hand and shook his. Firmly and confident. Very grown up.
