I Don't Own Twilight
Part 1 - Renesmee Cullen
I stared into the flames of the bonfire. I'm such an idiot. I'm the very definition of a hopeless romantic. This was suppose to be the best week ever. But my first couple days in paradise has been hell.Kaleb and I had gotten into several fights. And. I felt a lump grow in my throat. Jake. I had yelled at Jake. I let my head fall into my hands. I'd hurt him. I'd been cruel to him. I felt my eyes well up in tears. I lifted my head and looked at the fire.
"Ness!"
I turned around to see Jake running to catch up with me. I couldn't help but notice that his shirt was off and he was glistening. He'd been swimming. I felt my heart speed up. Does he ever wear a shirt? "Hey Jake! Are you going to the party?",I forced myself to look at his face.
"What party?",he asked lightheartedly. But I could see him look over my shoulder at Kaleb who was about twenty feet away, waiting for me. "It's getting dark out, shouldn't you be headed back to the hotel. I heard they have an awesome sushi bar."
"We were headed to the party down the beach, Manny's waiting there for us.",I paused. Becca would fall all over him if he went to the party. I really want him to be there. But he's been hiding from Becca as it is. I would just be leading him into the lion's cage. But... The last time I saw Becca, she was in a food coma from too much Chinese food. "You should come.",I said smiling.
"I don't know...",he trailed off.
"Come on Jake. All you've done this entire vacation is swim. Your going to turn into a rasin."
"Not true. I did get to know Kaleb. He's terrible at basket ball.",we laughed. I saw his eyes darken in sadness. "As well as other things..."
I cocked my eyebrow. "Like what?"
"You should break up with him.", I saw him begin to shake.
"What?!",I was furious.
"I got to know him like you asked me too. The entire day while you were off with your gal pals, I got to know him, and I didn't like what I saw. He's not good for you Nessie!",his voice was getting louder.
"Really? And what is? Jake? Tell me one bad thing about him?",I was on the brink of crying. Not from sadness but from anger. I couldn't believe that Jake was acting like this.
"He's not right for you. Your to good for him! He's sick, and horrible!",he paused. I saw fire in his eyes. He took several deep breaths, the fire dissipating from his eyes. "I'll catch up with you later. See you at the party.",he said turning.
I felt terrible. My arm reached out instinctively. "Jake..",but he was already walking back towards the ocean.
Way to go Nessie. Your one true friend now hates you. I felt a tear stream down my face.
The bonfire was almost deserted. Almost everyone had gone their own way. Even Kaleb. I sighed. The party was a little over an hour in, and Jake still hadn't shown up. I got up and started heading back to the hotel. I'm so stupid.
"So Jake said you suck at basket ball?",I said smiling.
His smile disappeared. "What was up with the two of you on the beach earlier today? He's not your boyfriend Nessie. I am!"
I took a step back. I did not expect this from him. "Jake's always been my best friend. What's wrong with that?",I asked incredulously.
"Does he feel the same way? Do you even feel that way?"
"Kaleb! You're my boyfriend, and Jake is my best friend."
"I'm not so sure about that anymore.",he said. "Have fun with your 'best friend'.",he made air quotes around 'best friend'."I have other options.",he turned and walked away. Flirting with every girl he passed...
"I'm such and idiot.",I scolded myself.
"Nessie?"
