Chapter 8 – Phone Call
"Ready darling, the plane's leaving soon" mum shouted up to me.
"With dad and Jasper driving we could leave seconds before the plane leaves" I said laughing.
"Even so, I'd prefer to be early" she said.
"I'm just zipping this up and then I'll be down" I shouted back to her.
We were heading back home, to Forks. I felt a twinge of excitement, I didn't know if it was because we were heading home or because I would get to see Jacob again but either way I was excited.
I sighed loudly as my suitcase hit the last step of the stairs; Jasper laughed and lifted it with one hand over his shoulder pretending to buckle under the weight.
"Well I'm sorry we can't all be as strong as you" I said sarcastically.
"Edward and Bella are going to take the jeep, Alice is taking the Mercedes and I'm taking the Ferrari, want to ride with me?" he asked smiling.
I nodded and walked past him quickly, he put my suitcase into the boot of the Ferrari and I thought to dad that I was riding with Jasper; he nodded and smiled.
As Jasper walked towards me he reached for the handle, I raised my eyebrows in confusion as he got in and buckled himself into the passenger's seat.
"This car isn't going to drive itself Ness" he said laughing, I gasped and ran to the other side
"Really? I get to drive this!" I said excitedly, I heard Alice's bell chime of a laugh as she drove past in the blacked out Mercedes. I jumped into the Ferrari and smiled brightly as I turned the key in the ignition.
I'd opened my window so my hair was blowing wildly in the wind; I revved the car loudly as I passed Alice. I saw her laughing and then I sped up as I over took dad. As I expected my phone started to ring a few seconds later, it was obviously dad about too moan. "Hello" I answered brightly as I steered the wheel with one hand.
"Hey Renesmee, its Jacob" Jacob said slowly.
I gasped and the car suddenly started to swerve towards the trees on the left side of the road. Jasper quickly grabbed the wheel and pushed my foot off of the gas pedal. Jasper pulled over to the side of the road and I quickly got out of the car, "Hi Jacob, why . . . why are you calling me" I asked trying to keep my voice even.
"I miss you and I want to ask you too come back to Forks so . . . so we can be together" he said slowly.
"I thought you and Leah were together now" I said coldly.
"No . . . no . . . she just threw herself at me, I didn't kiss her back, I was laughing with her because we both thought she was being stupid and when I found out that you'd left and you hadn't said goodbye I tried to call Edward at least a million times but he kept telling me to stop calling, I love you Ness" he said sounding sincere.
"Do you mean it, you want to be with me and Leah means nothing to you" I said sounding hopeful.
"Of course Ness, you're the only one for me" he said.
"I love you too Jacob, were actually on our way home to Forks now" I said brightly.
"Excellent, I can't wait to see you, call me when you get home and I'll come and see you . . . I love you" he said happily.
"Me too" I replied smiling to myself.
I hung up the phone and the smile on my face grew wider and then it vanished, it turned into a growl. I walked over to Emmett's car and leaned over the passenger window to talk to mum, "That was Jacob, he can't wait to see me when we get home, he said he'd called but I guess I didn't get the messages . . . right dad" I said sarcastically and then walked back to the Ferrari.
Jasper was now in the driver's seat so I climbed in beside him, "Sorry Jasper, I didn't mean to lose control like that" I said apologetically.
He smiled, "Don't worry, happens to the best of us" he said and then winked at me.
I laughed and stared out into the dark grey sky, I must have fallen asleep for a while because when I opened my eyes we were parking into the airport car park.
