5. Charlotte's Visit.

Renesmee Cullen.

"Wow, Renesmee, you're so pretty," Alice said. She was trying to change the topic.

I forgot everything about what had just happened. Was she blind? I was the ugliest thing on the planet.

"Um," I said. "No offence, but I'm really not."

"Are you kidding? You're beautiful!"

I stared at her. "I have disgusting hair that's impossible to comb, mud-coloured eyes, and big, fat, black glasses!"

"Hey, no way!" Alice said. "Look at your beautiful colour! It's almost like Edward's hair! And the perfect natural ringlets, and the chocolate- not mud-coloured- eyes, you could be a supermodel!"

I choked on the last few words. "Yeah, right."

"You know," Jacob said observantly, looking at me from his spot on the wooden stairs, where he was now seated. "Nessie could be Bella and Edward's daughter."

Bella spit out some of the red juice she was drinking. Jacob cringed at the sight of the liquid flying out of her perfect mouth. Edward looked at Jacob with an eyebrow raised.

"No, seriously," Jacob said. "The hair, the eyes, the perfectness."

"Eyes?" I said. "Bella and Edward both have golden eyes. And I'm not really perfect."

Jacob stared at me again, that cautious glance. "Oh," he said. "Yeah... Bella went through this...rebellious stage where she wore contacts exactly the same colour as your eyes! And yes, you are perfect."

My cheeks went hot. But I sensed a lie. Well, the eyes thing, at least. But what was he hiding? I wondered, but let it pass.

"Oh," I said. "So where do you guys go for school?" I looked at the six people I rarely knew anything about.

"We're all in university," Bella said. "Jacob's the youngest, still in his senior year of high school." She sighed dramatically.

An aluminum can flew across the room, and landed on Bella's head. She shot a look towards Jacob.

"Oops," Jacob said. "My hand slipped."

"What was that for?"

"You talk about being a senior like it's a crime," Jacob replied. "Don't forget, it's when you met your beloved Edward."

"That was junior year," Bella said.

"Whatever."

"Where'd you get the can, anyways?"

Jacob smiled secretively. "I have my ways."

Bella rolled her eyes.

"You're turning into Rosalie," Jacob commented. "You're already like her, except for the blonde hair."

"Is that such a bad thing?"

Jacob coughed suggestively. Rosalie and Bella both groaned in unison. Bella opened her mouth to fight back, when suddenly the door burst open, hitting the wall behind it. From the light emerged a familiar blonde girl- Charlotte.

She walked in, looked straight at me, then pointed a manicured finger in my direction and whined, "Jacob!"

"Yes, Charlotte?" Jacob asked, still being polite.

"Renesmee," a voice said into my ear. I looked towards it in surprise, and I met Alice's golden eyes. "Come into the living room." She took my hand in her own, dainty, slightly cold one, and pulled me towards another room before I could say anything.

We all sat down on the comfy gray couches- 'we' being Alice, Bella, Rosalie and Emmett.

"What's going to happen?" I asked shyly, getting a bad feeling.

"The truth, or the altered truth?" Emmett asked.

"The truth, please."

Rosalie glared at Emmett, a hint to keep quiet.

"No!" I said. "Please... please tell me!"

Emmett looked at Rosalie with a pleading glance. Rosalie looked at Bella questioningly, who looked at Alice, who gave her a nod. Bella then gave Rosalie a nod, who sighed and nodded at Emmett. It was a long process.

"Charlotte," Emmett said. "Is a girl who gets what she wants, or the rest of the world suffers the consequences. She's first going to flirt extremely with Jacob, and try to get him back, which is not going to happen, because she really never had him in the first place, and then she's going to try and..." he searched for the right word. "Find you."

"And do what?" I asked.

Emmett bit his lip. "Things that are not... pretty. But that's what we're here for!" he grinned.

I smiled back wearily. That wasn't a nice thing to hear. I swallowed the generating lump in my throat.

"Thank you," I said. "Why don't"- I struggled to remember their names- "Jasper and Edward come here?"

"They're trying to help out Jake."

"Aren't you the most helpful?"

"They're not using violence," Emmett said. "It's more like mind games."

"Oh," I said, but I didn't really understand.

"Jacob... Jacob..." I could hear Charlotte moaning his name seductively in the hallway. The extreme flirting was definitely happening. I looked down, and stared at the dark, hardwood floors, trying to distract myself.

Jacob wasn't saying anything back to her. Was he thinking over his options? I mean, when you have a hot cheerleader who wears micro-miniskirts, why go for a geek like me?

Suddenly, I heard Jacob's voice. It startled me. Not just the sudden words, but the tone, and what he was saying. "Don't you dare!" he yelled at Charlotte, just before I heard footsteps coming closer. His tone was almost... protective, and sharp.

Charlotte's blue eyes stared at me from the hallway. She smiled like she had achieved something, like passing a test. Bella, Alice and Rosalie all jumped to their feet, bending their knees and taking stances like basketball players defending their net.

Emmett moved to the space beside me, knowing he couldn't fight, as it would be unfair, though he could sit beside me and make me feel safe.

Charlotte, with no apparent strategy, leaped towards me aggressively. Bella, Alice and Rosalie probably predicted something a little smarter. She flew past them, like a child breaking through the other teams' arms in a game of Red Rover, and grabbed my hair, pulling. Emmett tried to get her to loosen her hands, but he couldn't pull them off without hurting me as well.

I screamed in pain. It felt like someone was tearing my skull out of my head. Like someone was going to torture me by pulling every one of my body parts out like a chicken being plucked. Jacob's face appeared out in the hall, sliding to a stop from his previous running. His expression showed that he was alarmed. Charlotte was grinning evilly, like a madman from a Disney movie. (AN: Totally for you, fuzzy jam :P)

Jacob ran, stopping right beside my hair, which was still being pulled painfully.

"Charlotte," he said, his eyes looking at my face with love- an expression I had never seen on anyone's face for me before. "Let go. I'll do anything."

She let go. Tears were already flowing out of my eyes. Her eyes flicked to Jacob's face. She was grinning, though less evilly. She looked more like a maniac who hadn't slept in six days now. Or a character from a Dr. Seussbook. No offence, Dr. Seuss.

Now her whole body was turned to Jacob, and she got closer to him. He flinched, but did nothing else. Closer and closer she went, until their faces were barely a few inches apart. Her hands wound around his neck. I looked away, realizing what she was going to do.

Bella patted my shoulder.

"Until next time, Renesmee," Charlotte said. "You're spared for now."

I looked back at Jacob. His eyes followed Charlotte until she was out of sight. They were filled with hate. When she disappeared, he used his index finger and rubbed it against his lip, like he was wiping away her kiss.

"Let Renesmee help you with that!" Bella said, laughing. She pushed me, and I staggered forward until I was standing very, very close to Jacob.

My cheeks went hot like they had never been hot before.

Jacob smiled at me. There really was love in his eyes- for me. For me. For me.

The words echoed in my head as Jacob bent down, and touched his lips to mine, ever so gently.

Like a butterfly landing on a rose.

Awws filled the room. I smiled up at Jacob.

"You're staying here today, Renesmee," Bella said suddenly.

"What?" I said, feeling surprisingly confident. "Why?"

"It's too dangerous," Jacob said. "I'm not leaving you alone to face the wrath of the psycho cheerleader."

I smiled as laughter came from various places around me.

"Hey, isn't this happening a little too fast?" Emmett asked. "It's only been a day."

"It happened to Romeo and Juliet, Emmett," Jacob said. "So why not to us?"

Awww....

Sorry, it's shortish.

But I added in a lot of DETAIL!!!

See? Your input really helps me!!

Tell me how you liked it!! :D
