AN: Congrats to for writing the longest review :) Now she's going to read a chapter of this book in Jacob's POV :) No summer school for me! (YES!) So I have my whole summer free xD So, anyways, enjoy this chapter :)


36. LIE


"I knew it!" Terrence hit his fist on the table as Gail gave him a disapproving look, I assumed the table was expensive. Terrence ignored her grimace.

"Now, now," Malcolm said. "This can be a good thing."

"Good thing?" Jacob almost yelled. "What's so good about a bunch of blood suckers coming for Nessie?"

"No, no, of course not, that's not what I meant. I mean, Jacob, that it's good we know sooner rather than later." Malcolm clarified. Jacob calmed down a little.

"Now while Renesmee is in Canada, we can all try and fix this problem."

"Wait, wait, hold up!" I cut in. "I'm not going to let you guys put your lives on the line while I go partying in Canada." It made me feel selfish. Dangerous, I knew it was the right thing to do, but my conscious would be eating at me if something happened to them when there was nothing I could do.

"You're safer that way." Nahuel said.

"I won't be able to live with myself if you die for me."

"We need you to be safe, Ren." Gail said. "We can't go on with this plan if anything were to happen to you."

"To be double sure then," Jacob sighed after speaking. "I want the pack to be involved with whatever plan you have."

"No!" It came out louder than I thought, and meaner. Jacob stared at me for a second, probably surprised I was even capable of being that stern. I opened my mouth to apologize until Nahuel spoke back.

"I think we'll be fine on our own, Jacob." He said. "One vampire isn't going to be hard for all seven of us. Who ever this guy is, if anything happens near by, we'll be ready."

"It's best we stick to the original plan," Malcolm said. "We have Nahuel to hear anything unusual that's near by and Marian for anything or anyone who looks suspicious around."

"Protect La Push as you were told." Roy spoke. "We'll be fine."

Jacob, I could tell, wanted to protest, but of course, they were right. He slumped in his seat, defeated. I wanted to take his side, convince the Calhouns that they needed him too, but I couldn't because I agreed with them.

For the rest of the day, Jacob and I watched a few episodes of Lost until Sam called Jacob in to take over his shift. Jacob wanted to say no, but he needed to tell the pack about what went down today and last night. We made plans to have dinner sometime before I left and he was gone.

Kyle texted me again, reminding me that we were having coffee at the Forks Diner. Charlie was coming over in an hour so I figured me and Kyle would talk and I'd stay there until Charlie came by.

Kyle got there before me, coincidently sitting in the same booth where Charlie and I usually sat. He waved at me when I walked in and I sat down.

"Hey," I said, smiling politely.

"Hi," He just said.

Darci came over to us, and she smiled at me.

"Hello, Renesmee!" I smiled back. "Long time no see! Where's your grandfather?"

"Oh, he'll be on his way in about half an hour." She turned to Kyle, and took his order. He ordered black coffee, and I my hot chocolate, explaining I wouldn't order until Charlie got here. She nodded and left.

"So," I finally got down to business, leaning across the table. "What's up?" He sighed and leaned back on the seat.

"I don't really know why I called you here, Nessie." He sighed again.

"Is there a rumor going on about me or something?" I had to ask to see if Darci or anyone else here would think not only I'm not being faithful to Jacob with Nahuel, but also with Kyle. He raised an eyebrow and Darcy placed his coffee in front of him.

"What? No. Why would you think that?" He quickly thanked Darci and she gave me my hot chocolate as well and I did the same and added cream to mine. He took a sip of his. I wondered if he always drank coffee like that or if there was really something on his mind and he didn't care.

"Nothing, nothing." It wasn't any of Kyle's business what Charlie thought. "Come on Kyle," I urged. "I don't have all day." He bit his lip.

"Okay, to Hell with it," He gave in. "How's you and Jacob?" I wondered if I thought wrong about us meeting here. He wasn't still trying to get with me, was he?

"We're fine, amazing actually." I sipped my hot chocolate.

"Really?" I nodded. "Well, can I tell you something, okay? It's kind of a secret..." I leaned in.

"Fire away." He sighed and started.

"I think I have this condition. A kind of insomnia, I guess... I dunno..."

"Probably the coffee..." I mumbled to myself.

"What?" I tried to hide a smile from my lame joke.

"Never mind," I insisted. "Go on." I took a sip and he continued.

"Well, anyways, I stay up until about two in the morning and you know, other than study and doing push ups, I really have nothing to do except go online..." He looked at me. "There's something you need to know... about Jacob."

My heart pounded. My mind racing about what Kyle could be asking, what he's talking about.

"Wh... what?" He looked at his hands and twiddled his thumbs a little. I got impatient. "Kyle, what is it?" I held my breath and he let out his while answering.

"My desk is right beside my window, it's facing your house and I could be mistaking but..." He continued with one breath. "IseeJacobsneakingintoyourroom ." It took me a second to figure out what he said by chunking the word into a sentence. When I got it I almost wanted to laugh, I smiled a little though.

"Really?" He gave me a confused look, probably from my smiling in humor. "Wow, didn't think we'd get caught."

"Say what?" I rolled my eyes.

"It's just us playing around. You know, movie role play sneak outs, you know?" I giggled a little. He didn't laugh with me. "Kyle, loosen up. We're not doing anything inappropriate, I promise."

"That's not all that I called you about, Ness." I nodded, feeling a little more confident about his questions.

"Sure, like what?"

"I don't see him use a ladder...or climbing the tree." My smile faded. He caught up that Jacob's climbing wasn't at all human. "You didn't know that, did you?" I bit my lip, not sure how to answer.

Do I lie and put it all on Jacob or do I tell Kyle the truth? If I lie, it would rise more questions and make me lie even more. If I tell the truth... I didn't know the outcome.

Turns out, I didn't have to answer. He asked another question. The question.

"Nessie... tell me the truth. What's going on between you guys: Nahuel and the Calhouns and you and Jacob?" I held my breath and answered truthfully, knowing I'd probably get in the biggest amount of trouble.

"Okay..." I said. "Jacob... is a werewolf." Kyle stared at me, I couldn't read his face of whether it was of disbelief or shock. Maybe both. "A bunch of the guys are, actually. It's some kind of thing that gets passed down." I felt a weight off my shoulders a little for telling someone. There was some new weight though from telling Kyle of all people.

What else was I supposed to do? I couldn't come up with a good enough lie. What else is there? Radio active spiders and kryptonite? Highly unlikely. The truth sounded worse, but it was what it was.

Kyle's face stayed frozen. I wondered if I should check his pulse in case he went into some kind of seizure. Before I could though, he moved a little, a smile broke out and he started laughing maniacally. I laughed a little with him so the people staring wouldn't think he was going too insane.

"You're kidding me, right?" He said over the laughs.

"Nope." I smiled a little. I could play along with this, but whispered. "And get this," He stopped laughing for a minute to hear me for more. "Nahuel and his family, you know why they're so pale? They're vampires!" He hooted even louder and I laughed with him, playing along.

"Vampires!" He repeated. "Oh my gosh, that's good." I shrugged.

"What other explanation is there?" He laughed for another good five minutes and stopped adding onto it before I got more into detail, just to be safe.

"Oh my gosh..." He whipped away tears in his eyes. "That's good. You're amazing. Next you're going to tell me you're a shape shifting unicorn." I put a fake shocked face.

"How'd you know?" He laughed again and then he looked at the time. "Okay, so, um, thanks Nessie. This was great. I'll sleep easier knowing there are werewolves on the lookout." I giggled.

"Don't make them angry, I could command them to eat you at any time." He chuckled.

"I'll keep that in mind." He left money for Darcy as he got up and put on his letterman jacket. "So, see you soon?" I shrugged.

"Sure." He smiled and waved goodbye to me through the window as he passed Charlie going inside after him.

I let out a sigh of relief as he was gone. The secret was out, but it was a joke to him. Hopefully, it would be an inside joke and he wouldn't be spreading it around. I was sure no one in the diner heard anything so for now, we were safe. For now.

The next few days I spent pretty well with everyone. I had dinner with Charlie more often, except the day Jacob had me to himself and we had dinner at the Lounge, and I went out for a short shopping trip with Ellie and Bree. The night before I left, Nahuel gave me his word he didn't start reading yet, and he gave me my farewell gift: the dvd recording of Love Never Dies.

I was shocked because I always wanted to see this. It was the sequel to Phantom, but since it wasn't on Broadway, or even on tour, it was impossible to watch it. I never even knew it was on DVD. We shared a long hug, mostly due to him, and Jacob drove me to the airport, just to make sure nothing happened to me, especially in Seattle.

We barely talked since I slept most of the four hour drive. I knew, I shouldn't have because there was only so much time I could spend time with Jacob before I wouldn't see him for a week. A month was intolerable, what was a week, right?

We shared a long, passionate kiss before he let me leave into the airport. I didn't care who was watching. All I kept thinking about was how I was going to survive without feeling these lips for a week. Without feeling his hand in mine. My hand would feel empty taking the car ride home and feeling absolutely nothing. No one to talk to, and nothing to talk about.

"I don't want to go," I said, when he let go.

"You have to." I sighed and held his hands.

"Promise me you won't do anything that will cause a war between you guys. I'm not here, you can't protect anyone off land." He paused, but nodded.

"If that's what makes you happy. I'll do it." I hugged him.

"Thank you." I kissed his cheek. "I love you, Jacob."

"I love you, my Nessie... so much." We shared one last peck as the call for my plane was announced.

"Bye," I said, taking my bags.

"Not 'bye', so long." I smiled and then, as fast as I left Canada, I was on a plane.


AN: Review Review!

Q. Will you ever publish this whole book in Jacob's POV?

A. I doubt it considering how I'm working so hard on this one as is. I wrote some parts in Jacob's POV already (don't know if I'll publish those parts) but I don't know how "corny" they may be xD

Q. Are you going to do the Romeo and Juliet thing? How about the Walk to Remember?

A. Chances are I probably will, but so far what I've written is pretty messy... anyone up for reading over what I have? XD And A Walk To Remember, I've also written a little but of that, but I don't know how good it is... again :/. So if you guys want to help with those, let me know xD Most likely it's first come first serve and most available
