Cover Up
"Renesmee?"
Jacob was on his porch when he noticed she was standing in his driveway.
"Hey! Did you ask your dad about Leahs birthday?"
He hopped over the side of his porch and ran towards Renesmee. "Nessie are you okay?" He stopped a few inches in front of her. "Hey,"
Jacob lowered himself to match her height.
"Nessie your hyperventilating." 'Can vampires even do that?' He thought. 'Shut-up Jacob!' he told himself. Why was he so stupid sometimes!? No wonder Nessie didn't like him back.
"Thhss sss mmmm" Jacob snapped out of it.
"What? Nessie your gonna have to say it again. I didn't catch that."
"Thhiss"
"This." He repeated to assure her he understood.
"B, bb ad"
"Bad." Jacob nodded "What's Bad? Nessie tell me."
Renesmee looked up at Jacob for the first time. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. The tip of her nose was pink. Jacob thought she looked extremely sexy.
"Have you been crying?" It was a stupid question and he already knew the answer, but what else was he supposed to say? Renesmee nodded slowly as if afraid that she might lose it again.
"Nessie," Jacob took her in is arms.
"No!" She stuck out her arms and fought against him. "No!" She screamed again.
Any other time Jacob would have let her go. For some reason he knew that this time she really did need him to be there wether she knew it or not. Renesmee gave up and pressed her face into Jacobs chest.
"No!" This time her plea was no more than a muffled cry.
To his surprise, Renesmee did not start crying. Her shoulders just moved up and down. Her cold breath giving him chills when she breathed into his bare chest.
"I don't understand." she finally said.
'Neither do I' Jacob thought to himself.
"She's freaked out before and I was just fine. This time, all of a sudden I just felt so angry. I had to let it out."
She wasn't talking to Jacob. It sounded more like she was talking to herself trying to make sense of it. Jacob just held her tight and listened.
"I've held it all in before. Why was this time different? I, it was like, umm, huh." What she was feeling was obviously to great for words. Jacob did not press her to explain. He just let her babble for a bit until she stopped talking and crying.
"Why did you come here?" He asked.
"I, I don't really know. I guess I just needed someone to talk to."
"I'm glad you came."
"Mmm." Renesmee looked up at him and smiled.
"I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but I don't see what's so bad about getting upset when someone makes you mad. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that normal?"
"Oh! Oh no Jacob that wasn't the bad thing at all. You see in the midst of getting angry at Nicole, I think. Oh gosh, I think I told."
"Told what? Wait! Nessie? You don't mean?" He released Renesmee and took a few steps back. Renesmee looked as if the weight of the world was on her shoulders when she nodded yes.
"Oh my god. Renesmee why are you here?"
"What?" His reaction startled her.
"Get back to Nicoles house you have to make up an excuse! How long has it been? Since you left I mean."
"Oh probably almost ten minutes."
"We'll be pushing it, but if we leave now I bet you can make it."
Renesmee didn't know exactly what he was talking about but she went with it and let him phase and throw her on his back.
*****
"I don't think this will work. You want me to cover up screaming that I'm supernatural and my family is not normal?"
They now stood across the street form Nicoles house, hidden in the shadows of the trees.
"Yes, that's exactly what you will do. Now get in there your chances of convincing her are slimming by the second."
"It's been almost fifteen minutes. What do you want me to say I've been doing?"
"Use your imagination."
"What! Jacob you can't tell me to get back here and then not back me up. Please don't leave me hanging like this."
"Kidding." Jacob chuckled. "I would never do that. Tell her you went for a walk to cool off."
Renesmee thought it over then turned towards Nicoles house. Before she could take two steps, Jacob snatched her from behind and spun her around.
"Put me down!" Renesmee squealed. "Your getting mud everywhere."
Jacob put her down facing him. She smiled up at him, beaming. He all ways knew how to make her feel better. Renesmee loved him for that. She really did. She just didn't know it yet.
Jacob looked down at Renesmee. She was so beautiful. If only she understood how much he cared for her. She couldn't understand that if he was told that the only way they could be together was if he killed the president, he would do it.
"I have to go."
"No. Stay with me." Did he really just say that?!?! What an idiot.
"Sorry big guy, I have to clean up this mess."
"You have a sturdy excuse. A few more minutes won't hurt you."
"True. So…"
"What?"
"Are you going to let go of me?" Renesmee laughed. Jacob was such a doof sometimes.
Jacob looked down at his hands that still wrapped securely around Renesmees stomach. He looked back up at Renesmee with a cheeky smile.
"I will, on one condition."
"And what would that be?" Renesmee grinned.
"Kiss me, fair maiden." Renesmee bit her bottom lip trying not to laugh.
"I would love to sir knight, but you see I don't kiss weak men."
"Weak?"
"Why yes of course." She said as if there were no other word to describe it.
"But I fight bad guys. I mean I boldly step onto the battlefield whenever my lord demands it."
"Ah see there is yet another weakness. You cannot decide for yourself when to step onto the battle field so you are commanded? What if your strongly against the reason your fighting?" That hit Jacob harder then Renesmee had intended. "And besides. I prefer those who fight without the fear of being injured. Your armor is pathetic." Jacob dramatically appeared to be hurt by this remark. "Honestly fur is much more, desirable."
Renesmee was making this difficult for Jacob. Desirable? Was she purposely doing this. He wanted to kiss her so badly. It was at time like this when he feared he wanted more than just a kiss.
"So what your saying is, that you like, Vikings?"
"No silly!" She playfully hit Jacobs arm. "I like you!"
She leaned in to kiss him but Jacob could not enjoy it. There was that word again. 'Like.' Would she ever love him? Renesmee pulled away.
"Now, I have to go."
"Of course you do." He loosened his grip on Renesmee and she slid free. "Good luck."
"Thanks I'm going to need it."
*****
"Alright Renesmee, you can do this." Renesmee paced back and forth in front of Nicoles door. "You just got very upset and freaked out and said some crazy stuff and ran off and balled your eyes out and will possibly get killed by your supernatural super angry father. Oh gosh I can't do this! Yes, yes, you can now walk in there and convince her."
Renesmee took a deep breath and forced herself into Nicoles house.
"Nessie? Is that you?" Nicole stepped out from around a corner. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to drive you to leave."
"No, you see what happened was…"
"I know what happened Nessie. I made you upset and for once, you actually showed emotion and that startled you."
Renesmee waited for Nicole to mention anything about her 'vast imagination,' but nothing came.
"Am I right?" Nicole prodded.
"Actually, yeah." Renesmee shook her head in disbelief. "More right than you would imagine. I'm so glad you're my best friend. Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself."
Both girls laughed and took each other in their arms.
"Hey Nessie, I really am sorry. There's no way that your life is perfect."
"No, your fine. You were and probably still are so how about we go upstairs and you tell me all about his most recent act of douche-baganism."
They both started towards the stairs.
"Ahh! Most recent act. He wasn't a douche bag until recently."
"I could name a few things. You were just too naïve at the time to notice."
Halfway up the stairs Nicole turned around cutting off Renesmee.
"Excuse me? I was never naïve."
"Oh, My bad! You were floating on the wings of love."
"Oh shut up!"
The girls continued upstairs laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt. For the next few hours Renesmee actually felt normal.
