Chapter 3

Letting Go and New Alliances

I woke up the next morning, not quite remembering how I ended up in my bed. I must of fell asleep in Jake's arms, then he probably carried me to upstairs. Sitting up I gazed at the photo that was sat on my bedside table. It was taken sometime last year when I physically look around fourteen. We were on the beach, Jacob was smiling widely and holding me on his back, I was gripping onto Jake and smiling happily.

I couldn't imagine a world without Jacob. Without Jake it was like having only half a soul, half a body.

A quiet knock at my door disturbed my thoughts.

"Nessie honey, can I come in?" said my mom from the other side of the door.

"Yeah" I sniffed.

Mom walked into the room and sat next to me on the bed.

"I'm so sorry we didn't tell you about Jacob sweetie" whispered mom,"we wanted to tell you but we didn't want you to get too upset over it"

"It's ok mom, I'm sure I'll get over it soon" I lied

"I'll leave you to get ready for school" she kissed my forehead and left the room.

I decided that instead of crying and begging Jacob to stay, I would be grown up and sensible about the situation.

Well, on the outside at least.

English went slow today, Caroline was busy talking at 100 miles minute to another girl about something. I didn't bother trying to find out for I knew it would give me little intrest.

But my ears perked up when I heard a word that did interest me.

Noah.

Noah Aitkin had been the center of gossip all morning. He had been late to nearly every lesson and girls were constantly trying to grab his attention.

I wasn't one of those girls. But something about him intrigued me. He seemed genuinely shy about all the attention he was getting but welcomed it with open arms, almost like he wanted the attention.

Walking on my own through the busy hallway towards history, I saw Mom and Dad leaning against the lockers and talking excitedly to a burly teenage boy and a paled faced girl.

"Hey Nessie!" called dad from across the hall "C'mon over here"

I stumbled over to group.

"Nessie this is Katrina and Miles Carlton, they're like us, vegetarians" he winked.

I took a proper look at their faces, the girl, Katrina had pale gold hair that matched her topaz eyes. And the boy, Miles had shocking black hair that layed deadly straight and the same golden eyes.

"It's wonderful to meet you Renesmee" said Katrina, her voice was soft and gentle "We've heard so much about you from your parents."

I stood rooted on the spot with nothing to say.

"Erm...cool." was my genius answer "So...is it just you two or are they're more?" I said, trying to make small talk.

"No, we have one more, Noah, I think he's in your year"
Noah was a vampire.

And I hadn't even noticed. Damn I was an idiot.

"Yeah I've met Noah. He's getting pretty popular with some of the girls" I said laughing, my pathetic way to try and kill the awkwardness.

"Well we best get to class" said Miles, who seemed pretty relaxed. "Bye guys".

He took Katrina's hand and walked off in the opposite direction.

"Wow" I said " I never realized Noah was one of us."

"Miles said something about Noah having a gift, he said that Noah could manipulate minds to a certain extent." said Dad reassuringly "Oh and honey. Your definitely not an idiot".
