Renesmee POV

- - - - - - - - - - -

As I heard my dad yell to the house we needed to run to the living room, I put on a wrap dress and run downstairs behind my mother. The first person I saw was Jake. He looked really really upset, in fact, my dad had to hold him up.

Oh no! Something bad is going to happen! I sat down on the floor and started analyzing his face. At first he looked extremely distraught, but slowly he tried to look calmer as he noticed me watching him. I immediately wanted to comfort him but the tension in the room scared me.

Out of the blue I heard my dad say, "Oh thank god! Its about time." He must be referring to Jacob's thoughts. I kept looking directly at Jacob and I realized I had my eyebrows knitted, a look inherited by my father. Jake still wasn't talking and I needed answers.

I said in frantic, "What's wrong Jacob? Tell us, you're killing me!"

He cleared his throat and began to speak. I knew he was announcing it to the entire family but he just stared into my eyes as he spoke. I felt this pull to him, I couldn't explain it. I stood there, the only thing I could see was my Jake. Wait, he's not MY Jake. Where is this coming from. I just surrounded myself with the deep pools of golden brown that were his eyes.

"There is a pack emergency up north. Seth came here to get me and we have to leave immediately. They need me to search for other packs and go to Canada to take down the crazed werewolves up there," he said morosely.

Wait a second. Jake was leaving us. He had to leave me! Hold on this isn't going to work. I felt my face giving my emotions away as Jacob was reluctant to continue.

"It's going to be extremely dangerous. We might have some casualties. And I don't know how long I'll be gone. At least a year….."

Oh My Gosh. He's leaving me for a year. He will in be battle for a year. What if he gets hurt. What if he dies? I start crying, not being able to keep my emotions in check. I only can cry when something REALLy bothers me. What if I never see my Jake again?

I can't help it, I need to hug him. I jump up and throw myself at my best friend. I feel as if something inside me is breaking. I sob into his shirt as this really sinks in. Jacob tears up as he rests his face in my hair. I can't believe this is happening……..Its like the end of the world for me. Why why why? I can't stop as I keep crying and crying, staining his blue tee.

Finally I try to reason with him as tears continue like a waterfall off my face, "No Jake. You're my best friend. You've been with me forever. I won't just let you go off for a year now, not ever."

I know I'm being selfish but at this point I can't care. Something is snapping inside me, the need for him pushing itself to the surface now that I'm going to lose him.

He whispers into my curls, "I've tried everything in my mind. I can't stand leaving you guys here but I have no choice in this what so ever"

This makes me cry even harder. The realization of him leaving hits me. Suddenly I look up a fraction to see Esme crumple into Carlisle, "Oh gosh. This is horrible, I can't watch." Jake is like a son to her. She is attached to him, and him leaving is going to be hard for her also.

I keep my arms locked around my Jacob as I hear Jasper sprint out of the room. I guess my grief is way too much for him to handle. We are really close because he is naturally drawn to my constant joy, now I can't get any sadder.

As Alice sees our shock she checks the future and explains, "This….its too much for him to handle. He needs to get out for a minute alone where there is no emotion. He'll be back in approximately 3.76 minutes."

This has to be a dream. It's the only explanation for something so dreadful to happen. I'm trying to cease the endless waves of my tears but I'm miserably failing. I open my eyes for a second to see Daddy quickly pass us to envelop Mom in his arms. I know they were best friends and she loves him as a friend.

Rosalie, probably the only girl here able to speak says, "I never loved the dog but this isn't cool. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm sad to see you go." That's all! That's all she can say! Doomsday is here and she says that!

My arms are so strongly wrapped around him that I would have crushed a normal human's ribs. I stand there for who knows how long just bawling. I've never felt this depressed before EVER. Eventually Jacob peels my arms off of him and gets down, eye-level, with me before speaking…..

"You don't know how badly this is going to kill me. But I need you to stay strong. I'm sorry but I won't be able to write or call because we can't have them finding out anything about our location. But so you won't forget I want you to take this." With that he took off his wolf necklace and places it carefully around my neck.

He wore that necklace everywhere. I've never seen him without it. I can't believe he was giving it to me- for a brief second I thought if I shouldn't take it. That was soon overpowered by the need of something of his to have while he was going to be missing.

I can't explain it….I just felt as if I needed some proof he was mine while he left. Although the thought of me forgetting him was absolutely ridiculous. That could never possibly happen.

My eyes filled up with even more tears as I squeaked out, "Thank you Jacob. I'm never going to take it off. You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I will never forget you, and I will be sitting here waiting for you to come back until you do. I promise."

He grabbed me and held me to his warm chest once again. That's all it took for every female in the living room to break down weeping. It was bad enough that he was leaving, but I had a feeling I wasn't making it better for them in any way.

Then that friggen Seth had to tell Jake he needed to pack and leave soon. How dare he? I mean seriously he had to ruin my life even further. I could hardly let go of Jacob, but he was also reluctant to leave too.

When he left, I found myself in my father's arms. I needed to hold onto something or else I might collapse. I feel so weak, so helpless. I am so grateful for having my father, I don't know how I can deal with this without him.

I could hear Jacob slowly packing his things with Seth. I wanted him to linger and take his time. I gasped and sobbed even harder when I realized I only had minutes left with him.

I was in a daze as Dad half- dragged me outside with Bella, Grandpa, and Grandma to say a final goodbye. A final goodbye. FINAL. That thought struck me with a sense of despair. I couldn't unlock my eyes from his body as I tried to memorize every aspect of him. I knew I would rely on this time for the next year. YEAR!

The tears were still rolling down my cheeks as he slowly said goodbye to my family. I couldn't even imagine why I felt this way. I've never felt this strongly about anything before. For god's sake, he wasn't even mine. We were just best friends. It's not like we were married or anything. But still, we've never been separated for more that 2 weeks before and that was hard enough.

I can't imagine waking up without my best friend. Trying to spend the hours alone without him. My heart was slowly breaking with every second passing. I was about to explode as he eventually approached me. His face was so pained, a mirror- image of mine. I couldn't stop the crying as he hugged me for the last time.

He whispered, "I love you Renesmee. Don't forget that. Be strong for me…..oh and kick Emmett's ass in Halo every once in awhile too."

I knew he was trying his hardest to cheer me up, I gave out a short giggle in response to it. The last laugh for a long long long time, I could feel it. We embraced for what seemed like a fraction of a second when Seth cleared his throat again.

This was it. My life was ruined now. Like it was in slow motion, I watched him turn around, pick up his bag, and start to retreat. Every step away from me tore my heart more and more. My blubbering was clouding up my eyesight. I could barely see him turn around to take a last glance.

I saw him run back to me and suddenly I was against his chest, lifted off the ground. He kissed my cheek and my heart skipped.

I murmured, "Love you Jacob. Please come back to me soon." With a final kiss on my curls, he ran to phase, and started sprinting away……….

Bella POV

- - - - - - - -

The pain in my heart was so great I was nearly speechless. But not the same pain I wouldn've felt before my daughter's birth. This was a sense of worry- for Jake's safety, and heart-brokeness- my Renesmee looked like she would fall to pieces at any moment.

I suddenly saw her knees buckle and her beginning to collapse. Suddenly eight sturdy arms reached out for her. Of course Edward caught her first. His face was troubled- not as much about Jacob, but for his little girl's pain. She was looking around like she was in a dream. I didn't think she was fully sane right now……….

Something more tugged at my thoughts. I suddenly searched through my human memories and finally drudged up the one I always tried to hide in the depths of my mind. With a sharp intake of breath, I comprehended this feeling. Bleakly the memory of Edward leaving overtook my mind. This is what Renesmee was feeling. I instantly wanted to hold my baby and tell her it was going to be alright but I knew deep down for a year it wouldn't be.

All I could remember was pain. Hard, cruel, cold pain. Wanting something, but not being able to get it at the same time. I knew right then I was going to everything in my power to try to protect her from this feeling. I had to.

Edward picked our daughter up and held her bridal- style. Her tears were thinning as I saw weariness taking over. The afternoon had taken its toll on her. I followed Edward as he carried her to her room. I slowly opened the pale door for her as he gracefully walked in. I pulled down her sheets and he gently placed her limp body on the bed. After his arms left her, she immediately curled up into a ball. The tears now were just dripping down her face, slowly, yet more painful. Edward couldn't bear the pain so I un-shielded myself so he could hear me.

Its okay Edward. You can leave, I need to stay with her. I doubt she's going to want her father see her like this anyways.

With a grateful and pained smile he slowly backed out of the room, his blackened eyes focused on her. I sat down next to her on the bed. Her eyes started to droop, I dimly remember falling asleep in the forest after Edward left me.

I curved my body around hers above the sheets and propped my head on one of my hands. With the other I rubbed her head, something I did since she was born. I know it soothed her deeply and she finally fell asleep. Her eyes were painfully squeezed shut, a grimace at her lips.

If this was a fore-shadowing of the future, then we have a long way to go……

Okay okay I know this is depressing. I'm sorry but don't give up on me just yet. It gets the darkest just before the dawn- (Batman).

Ok…… I only got 2 reviews on the last chapter. 2 more for chapter 8. Come on, it takes 10 seconds to type a short comment. All I need is " I like this. Keep the story on." Seriously PLEASE!!!!!!!
