This chapter is decently sized... O.o
I got like, 10 reviews in two days. That's MAD skills. Sniff. I'm so TOUCHED.

12. To Be Or Not To Be.
Renesmee Cullen.
"Are you alright?" Jacob asked quietly.
"Yeah," I said, sitting up, looking to each of the faces around me.
"That was a filling," Aurelio said. "You now know exactly what happened that night."
I saw tears trickling down Bella's cheeks. My mother's cheeks.
Fear in my father's eyes.
And I knew they were my parents. I had a bond with them. My memories as a child... Edward holding me so delicately, looking into my eyes with passion. Bella taking me into her arms for the first time, calmness overwhelming me.
It was like I was a totally different person.
Jacob's words ran in my mind. You know, Nessie could be Bella and Edward's daughter.
He'd told me those words such a long time ago. I'd paid no attention to them at that time, but they were so important.
I blamed myself. How could I possibly forget? How could I think that all this time I was alone? That there was no one left in this world for me...
"Well, I'll take my leave now," Aurelio said, glancing at the silver watch on his wrist. "Bye."
No one said anything.
Memories were spinning in my mind. Flashing images. Questions, things I didn't know before. My existence as a vampire.
My head burned. A sharp pain took over the left side. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to minimize the excruciating pain. I felt as though a knife had been jabbed into my skull, continuously being removed and replaced. A scream left my mouth before darkness enveloped me.
I woke the next morning with light shining into my eyes. I really needed better curtains. Flipping over to the other side, I tried to shield my eyes. Instead, I came face-to-face with... a face. I shrieked and pulled back from it, panting heavily.
Until I realized who the face belonged to.
It was Jacob's face, tilted to the side, resting on his hands.
Getting closer, I leaned over the end of the bed, to see the rest of Jacob's body, his knees bent, and still wearing yesterday's clothes. Glancing back at his face, I smiled contently. He looked years younger while he slept, eyes relaxed, and breathing softly.
"Jake," I whispered reluctantly. "Jake!"
"Hm?" Jake's voice came, his eyes still closed.
I giggled. "Wake up!"
"Nessie?" he mumbled. "What are you-" Suddenly, his eyes opened wide and he looked around, agitated.
"What's wrong, Jake?"
"I fell asleep here... yesterday...?"
"I think so."
"Right. You passed out..." he trailed off, and then looked at me with worried eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Absolutely."
"Then I guess you're going to school today!" a third voice chimed into our conversation. The door opened to reveal a tiny figure- Alice. "Get ready. You're going to be late."
As if to support Alice, my phone squawked loudly, declaring we were indeed going to be late if we didn't hurry.
Jacob and I exchanged glances before bursting out into a fit of laughter.
"English first period!" Jacob mused, seeming apparently excited. "A class with Nessie!"
Ah, right. Jacob and I had English together this year, and we'd been blessed with my favourite teacher, Mr. White. Ah, memories...
"But we don't sit together in English, Jake," I said. "I sit with Alexandra, remember?" (AN: I just realized I used the name Alexandra in Afternoon Sun as well. Gaah...)
Jacob narrowed his eyes. "Maybe I'll sit with Charlotte."
My head swung violently until my eyes were staring into Jacob's. Not Charlotte... not her.
"Relax," Jacob said. "I was just kidding."
"You better be kidding," Alexandra's voice said, as she approached us from the hallway on the right. "How dare you hurt her like that?"
Jacob rolled his eyes and muttered something. Alexandra blew up and started yelling at him in the middle of the hallway, getting strange glances from people who passed them. I smiled at them fighting, imagining if they were relatives of some sort, considering how they fought.
Coincidentally, Alexandra was also partly from La Push. Her mother was Quileute- she'd met Alexandra's father in a nearby town known as 'Forks,' and they'd fallen in love. Their parents didn't approve, and so they ran away, and landed up here.
Trring!
The bell destroyed my deep thinking. Blinking, I came back to reality, looking into the now-smiling faces of Jacob and Alexandra.
Alexandra grasped my hand and pulled me off to class, Jacob at my heels.
"Field trip!" Mr. White sang, looking unusually happy. "We're going to the Theatre!"
At the mention of the theatre, the class groaned. Nearly two hours of people speaking in Old English, the audience barely understanding a thing. The only good point was probably the lack of classes and the fact you could be with your friends. Or boyfriend.
"It's mandatory to come," Mr. White explained. "So I won't be handing out permission slips. Instead, I'll tell you the field trip is the day after tomorrow, and I expect ten dollars from each of you tomorrow."
"Why do we have to pay for a trip we don't even want to go on?" Alexandra whispered to me.
I held back my laughter. "I don't know."
Mr. White talked on and on about the trip, and then talked on and on about English. The other eight classes of the day were exactly the same, minus the news of the unwanted field trip. The same old routine- resisting sleep, trying to stare at the book in front of you.
And when the bell goes off, the class is empty in ten seconds, the teacher standing at the front of the class with their eyes wide.
I skipped off to my locker, one step closer to seeing Jacob. I didn't bother arranging my books neatly, just tossed them in, made sure I had everything I needed for today's long list of homework, and turned, ready to bolt in the direction of Jacob's locker.
"Hey, Nessie."
I froze. "You beat me again, huh?"
Jacob grinned. "Shall we go?" He offered his hand.
I giggled. "I don't know, shall we?"
Jacob laughed. "That sounds so suggestive."
"YOU!" Alexandra's voice growled as she ran out of nowhere and seized Jacob's collar.
"You." Jacob narrowed his eyes. "What is wrong with you?"
"Don't compare Nessie to a pervert," she demanded.
"Relax, guard dog," Jacob said calmly. "Breathe in, breathe out."
"Why do you date this idiot, Nessie?" Alexandra asked me. "He's just another stupid male teenager."
I shrugged. "I'm just another stupid female teenager."
Jacob burst into laughter, earning a glare from Alexandra.
"So anyways, Nessie," Alexandra said, still glaring at Jacob. "Can I come over today?"
"Today?" I asked.
"If I can," she said. "I need some help on today's homework."
"Sure, if you want," I said. "You can sleep over too."
Her face lit up. "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
I laughed. "Anytime."
"I'm still taking Nessie with me," Jacob said.
"She's coming with me," Alexandra contradicted. "She shouldn't even be on that thing, especially not with you!"
"And your pathetic car is any better?"
"Yes, it is, actually."
Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Just for today, Jacob?" I asked. "I'll stay with Alexandra."
He frowned. "Fine."
"Don't be mad, Jake."
He sighed. "I'm not mad... just depressed."
I blinked. "Sorry."
"It's alright," he smiled. "I'll stay close to you."
I nodded.
Exiting the school, I got into the passenger side of Alexandra's car, Alexandra on the driver's seat, and I glanced out the window to see Jacob climb on his bike. Quite a few girls turned to see that the back of Jacob's bike was empty today. A few of them approached him.
"Jacob?" one asked. "Can you give me a ride?"
"Sorry," he said. "I have to follow them carefully." He gestured towards us.
"Oh," the girl said, now locating me. "Alright, see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Look how he's flirting with that girl," Alexandra said.
I grinned. "He's not."
"He could be trying to, but obviously failing at it."
I laughed. "I trust him."
Twenty minutes later, I was sitting on my bed surrounded by books, Alexandra at my side. One book filled with numbers lay between us. Both of us held pens, yet were not writing. We continued to stare at the book. There was a dreaded word written on the front cover.
Math.
"GAAH!" Alexandra let out in exasperation. "My brain is about to explode!"
I sighed and put my pen down. "Maybe we should ask Jacob."
With the mention of his name, Alexandra's eyes darted off the book and onto me. Looking up, I met her eyes.
"Why him?" she asked.
I shrugged. "He's pretty good at Math. And we need to get this done sooner or later."
She groaned. "Fine."
Smiling, I took a deep breath in and release it with one word. "JACOB!"
In a few seconds, my doorknob turned and Jacob poked his head in. "You scared me half to death," he said.
I laughed, but Alexandra scowled. "Ever heard of knocking?"
"Well excuse me," he said sarcastically. "But you two called me here."
Before Alexandra could reply, I got to the point. "Can you help us, Jacob?"
He smiled at me. "Sure."
"It's Math."
Laughing, he approached us and picked up my pen. "I'm armed."
I showed him the questions, and he nodded before his words were suddenly filled with mathematical terms and numbers. I watched his face as he explained, a serious expression embedded on it. His dark, gentle eyes were intelligent and knowledgeable. Occasionally, he looked up at me, and I saw deep love on his face, a small smile playing on his lips as he checked if I understood.
When he finished explaining, he exhaled as if he'd just jogged three kilometres.
"We get it, so get out," Alexandra said sharply.
He rolled his eyes. "You're welcome." And he left, closing the door softly behind him.
Jacob only came in twice after that, once to ask what we wanted for dinner, as apparently the rest of the family had been invited to some party and wouldn't be back until late tonight. And then once when I invited him to sleep in my room for tonight, as it was a sleepover anyways. Alexandra was obviously not too thrilled with that, but she agreed. Jacob found a sleeping bag and spread it on the floor beside my bed right when we decided to go to sleep.
When we were all settled in bed, I turned my lamp off. "Good night Alexandra, good night Jacob."
"Good night."
"'Night."
I smiled to myself and closed my eyes. There was silence for a few moments before Alexandra spoke.
"Renesmee?" she said.
"Yeah?"
"I know what you are."
And... CUT.
CLIFFHANGER! BWAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA.
Please review! I hope it was okay!
It'll be another slow update... (The reason is above) SORRY! :(
But I'll try to update as soon as I can.
THANKS! :D
