Okay so one reader told me that I fired the gun to fast with Nessie and Alec's romance. Which I get. I reread it, and will make everything go slower through the rest of the story. Thanks for the review Awkward Seductress. Also, at this moment Jake and Ness are just best friends, also Leah and Ness will grow to be like sisters. I will make these things gradual, I hope you guys like it. R&R
Chapter 11
Things couldn't be more tense right now. My whole family is on edge, they fear the Volturi or Alec will come for me. They told me it was like when my mom was pregnant, all over again. Jake and me had resumed our friendship. I told him that's all I wanted. Even if it took time to be friends the way we used to be.
I woke up, sunlight filtered through the huge window. I shifted around a bit, hoping to get more comfortable. Blankets were wrapped around my body.
"Ugh." I moaned, I had a major headache. I moaned and got up, blankets fell on the floor. I dragged my body over to my large private bathroom. I turned the shower on and let it start to heat up. I striped my clothes and got in. Hot beads of water slid down my back, massaging my back muscles. I washed and conditioned my hair and got out. I wrapped my body in a towel.
After I got dressed, I headed downstairs. Everyone was there, including Jake and Leah and Seth.
"Seth?" I said sleepily. I hadn't seen Seth for awhile, maybe two or three months. He looked up and smiled, he got up and came over for a hug.
"Hey Ness. How you been doing?" He asked in his deep voice.
"Oh, so-so." I said trying to not start sobbing over Alec. I had decided to not only put on a happy face, but to actually be happy. I had been succeeding well until now. Seth saw it in my face and he hugged me tighter. I smiled sadly and when he pulled away, he gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I headed into the kitchen, where Esme was cooking breakfast. Eggs, toast, and bacon. I grabbed a plate and filled it up with food. I sat down at the table in the dining room. As I chewed on the toast, my mind began to drift off. Something that happened alot to me recently. It drifted over many things, me, Alec, Jake, Leah, my family, and so many other things. I stopped chewing, I really didn't feel like eating. I pushed away the plate and decided to go take a run. Hopefully it would clear my head. I walked out the french doors and began to jog. I headed into the forest and started to weave through the thick trees.
I was headed for the pond that Jake had broken my heart at so many years ago. I didn't really care about that now, though. I just wanted to go see if it was any different. I soon arrived there, at the small clearing that was right before the pond. I ploped down on the grass, and laid my head down. I stared up at the clouds. Making out the shapes. My skin slightly glistened under the sunlight. I began to doze off, and ended up falling asleep. I woke up with a start.
I felt like I was being watched. I looked around and sniffed the air. Nothing I could smell, that's when it hit me, like a ton of bricks. A sickly sweet scent that made my nose hurt. I knew it meant one thing and one thing only, Aro. He was the only vampire that smelled that way for me. I began to get up, readying myself for a long sprint home, when a cold hand touched my bare shoulder.
"Renesmee, you weren't planning on leaving were you?" Aro's voice sung. I gasped, he was so close. I got up slowly and turned to look at Aro. He was wearing less traditional white robes. He smiled at me. I struggled to smile back.
"Of course not. I was just startled. Umm, what are you doing here?" I said slowly.
"I am here to see you. Since you suddenly decided not to come to Voltura I decided to come see you." Aro said happily. He smiled again. I decided to not smile back this time.
"I should go. My family is excepting me..." I said trailing off. Aro smiled again, man that was creepy. I thought.
"Okay. Well I will see you again soon." Aro said and then he was gone. I dropped to the ground and puffed my cheeks out.
"Crazy old coot." I mumbled. I just laid there resting so I could sprint back. I got up and began to run towards home.
It didn't take me long to get home and when I did I went to my parents.
"Aro confronted me in the woods. He wanted to talk I guess." I said. My parents bombarded me with questions, wanting to know where I met him.
"I wasn't to far out, maybe ten minutes out." I lied. They couldn't know that I was out that far, they had me on a tight leash. I had grown to love the fact that over the past few weeks my mind had grown to develop a shield like my mother's, unless I called out for my father he couldn't hear me. Lying was so much simpler now.
I nodded and plopped down on the couch next to my Uncle Jazz.
"Hey, so who's playing?" I asked. Inlove basketball. Everything about it appealed to me. Uncle Emm and Uncle Jazz were watching a college league game.
"Michigan State ans Michigan. State's leading." Jazz replied blandly. (AN: Sorry id I got a match up wrong. Idk if they even play each other.)
I smiled, I loved Michigan State. Great football and basketball teams. I sat there for five minutes when Leah and Jake pulled me away.
"So, there's a bonfire down at the rez and it's been so long since you have been down there. Do you wanna go?" Jake asked. I smiled and nodded. Exactly what I needed right now. My mom and dad gave me the okay and we headed out. My phone buzzed the minute we got in the rez.
Be safe. No one followed you. If you have to leave have someone bring you. Love you -Mommy
I smiled and texted a quick okay, ugh she's so dramatic. We pulled up to the parking lot near the beach. We jumped out of Jake's rabbit and walked down to the others. A huge bonfire was set up flames roaring. People sat around it conversing and obviously drinking. Embry was flirting with his imprint Karen, a shy funny girl. Quil is sitting with Jared and Kim, who are his best friends. Paul and Rachel were making out by the trees. Seth was with Colin and Brady throwing a football around. Sam wasn't here and neither was Emily. I headed over to the bonfire and grabbed a beer. I hadn't drunk to much before, but now was a goos time to try.
About an hour later me, Kim, and Karen were drunk out of our minds. Laughing at everything.
"Ah. Nessie! Are you drunk?" Jake cried out. I smiled and bobbed my head giggling. Karen and Kim burst out in into laughter. "Time to go." Jake said picking me up. I laughed and attempted to jump out of his arms, but Jake was to strong and I was to drunk. Jake loaded me into his Rabbit and revved the engine. He sped off into the night.
