My deepest apologies to all my readers. I have been in a car accident last year, and I am in recovery. I'm sorry for the super looong wait. ): My memory is still a bit blurred, so I will try to write this story with great effort. ASAP. Thank you to those who are still there. Love you guys. (: Oh, and btw, I didn't realize that my story kinda sounded like Vampire Diaries o_o I was watching the show when I finally realized my story kind of resembled it. I was in the middle of reading Vampire Diaries when making CHAPTER 14, so that's a mixup. I had no intention of making it sound too much the same. But haters can hate. (:

RECAP:
After the long war, the two twin brothers have died. Jacob, Alice, and Bella found their way out of Kaleb's hostage cell. (Okay, sure vampires can only be killed by fire, but in Eclipse, Victoria smashed into a billion pieces, so let's just say that the ones that died smashed into a billion pieces.) Renesmee is in mourning.
Chapter 16.
Before Dawn
Renesmee's POV
It has officially been 3 weeks since William has died. The days were passing by slower and slower.
I haven't spoke to anyone, or ate anything since William passed. My stomach growled in hunger.
"Renesmee, please eat." Jacob says, worried.
Jacob has stayed with me every single day since the incident. I was so grateful he was there. I felt his warm arms surround me, and his face next to mine. He pulled me closer.
"Okay, I will." I mumbled. Maybe a crepe wouldn't be so bad.
"I'll go order some for you." he responded.
He let go of me, and got up. I stared at his face. He was still recovering from Kaleb's damage, and his face was still extremely pale.
He was too busy worrying about me to care about himself.
Guilt suddenly rushed through me.
"Jacob, wait." I said before he left.
"Yeah?"
"Please get something for yourself, too." I said, smiling at him.
"Okay." he said. I felt butterflies as he smiled back. He turned around and walked down the stairs.
I looked at my hands. My cuts were healing, but I haven't realized how skinny and pale I've gotten.
I looked outside the bedroom window. The glass in my Dad's room was warm from the spring sun. Spring break was over, but I still couldn't get myself to go back to school.
I wanted to stay with Jacob as long as I can, but I realized I should've thought about him, too. He had a life, too.
I've been in here for weeks, constantly thinking about William. It must have been bad for Jacob. He held me while I cried and slept, but how did he react about my thoughts for William?
Suddenly, I felt so alone without Jacob's warm embrace around me.
"Renesmee?"
I turned and saw my mother in the doorway. I was glad to see that she was back to her normal pale self.
"Hi, Mom."
It was strange to call her Mom when I was almost her age. She looked more like my friend than my own mother.
She sat down next to me, and kissed me on the head.
"How you holding up?" she said. I could tell that she was trying to make conversation.
"I'm fine. I wish you could've met William beforehand, though." I said, staring out into the green forest. It was suprisingly sunny in Forks.
"So how does Jacob feel about all of this?" she said. I looked at her. She looked worried. I'm guessing she worried for Jacob. How he felt, and shit.
"Mom, you know I love him."
"Yes, but I know that you love William, too. And I just don't want to see him hurt, Nessie." she explained, pulling my hair behind my ears.
"I don't want him to get hurt either. But obviously, there's nothing we can do about William."
I felt my heart rise up to my throat.
"He loves you a lot, Renesmee."
"I know." I said, and I smiled. Seeing his face in my thoughts made me feel a lot better. Even though William was dead, I was still confused about my feelings.
What was it that I felt for William? Was it love? Or did I feel what a felt because I needed someone there since Jacob was gone at the time?
I guess I'll never know. But his face. That face Jacob made when I thought about William.
It felt like a million knives stabbing in my chest. He looked hurt. I couldn't stand to see him like that.
"It'll be okay, honey." she said. I looked at my own Mom. She was holding my hand. I looked at her, and cried. I reached over to her and held her.
I wrapped my arms around her.
Sometimes, I wondered why I had this life. Why vampire? Who created vampires? Why not zombies? God created werewolves, so you might as well have zombies.
But who knows, maybe there are. If we have vampires, something humans considered impossible, who knows what else there is in this world. What obstacles that show up in our lives.
I looked up.
Father was standing there. When did he even get there?
Time to time, I get scared of Father's ability to move so quietly.
He pulled his arms around Mom and kissed the side of her face. I smiled. I was glad that all of us were together again.
Jacob's POV
Since it was Sunday, most of the restaurants closed early.
I needed to get food for Renesmee. I made it my goal.
I drove through the town looking for a store or a restaurant that sold crepes.
As I drove, something caught my eye. It was a girl. A girl in a black hood and bloody red eyes.
I turned my head and stared at her. Her appearance gave me the creeps.
Suddenly, my car swerved to a complete stop. I pushed on the brakes dumbfoundedly. What was going on? The car U-turned by itself.
I looked through the windshield.
The girl with the hood was staring at me. No wait, more like glaring. The car started approaching her.
For some reason, I didn't want to advance towards her. I stepped down on the brakes. The car didn't stop.
I screamed with frustration. The next thing I knew, there she was.
Edward's car was parked right on the sidewalk, and she was facing the window of the passenger's seat.
The window pulled down.
I didn't touch anything, my hands were on the wheel.
She leans in and gives me a smile. I could smell the sweet stench of something familiar. It was a vampire smell.
"Hello there, Jacob. I don't know if you remember me, or even know me, but my name is Jane."
