Chapter Eleven
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
Renesmee's Point of View…
"I am very sorry for that to happen." I said in a whisper not knowing what to say. Sam and Emily had been together longer than I have been in this planet. Sam had left Leah, his high school sweetheart, for Emily who he imprinted to. Sam and Emily were so in love and inseparable. I am so disbelief that something like that would happen. "How's Billy doing?" I asked changing the subject.
"He's doing great," Jacob replied sounding a little excited. "He came home this morning. He's glad to be home."
"I bet he is." I replied. Billy hates hospitals.
"Well I got to go Nessie, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Alright babe, bye."
"I love you," he said in a whisper.
"I love you too." I replied and slowly flipped my cellphone off. I turned to my dad and buried my head on his hard cold chest. I felt him hugged me tighter, I wrapped my arms around his waist and let my tears roll down.
"I'm sorry you have to listen through that sweetheart." he said in a whisper.
"I don't know what to do daddy, I am so confused." I said between sobs.
"There, there sweetheart." my dad said in a whisper. "Whatever your decision is, your mom and I are behind you one hundred percent and I know Jacob would understand."
"I know that dad." I said pulling away from his hug. "I do love Jacob but I am just so confused about the whole imprinting issue."
"Ness," my dad said pulling my face closer to his. "Follow your heart not your mind." he whispered and kissed my forehead. "Be with the one that makes you happy."
"Thanks dad," I said as I gave him one last hug.
"That was an interesting lecture." Peyton said with a booming laugh as we both walked out of our Biology class Thursday afternoon.
"Tell me about it. I though Ms. Montez was going to have a heart attack when she realized one of the frogs was still alive." I replied as I joined in his laughter.
"Now we know what gets her to run fast." he replied.
"Yeah," I replied and saw Coach Hunter, the football coach approaching us. "Hey coach." I greeted.
"Hey Renesmee. Tell me, when is Jacob coming home?" he asked as he creased his eyebrows hoping I would give him the answer that he wants to hear.
"This weekend I believe." I replied.
"Oh man, we need our wide receiver back for the game tonight or else were going to lose against our rival-" he stopped when he saw Peyton. "Hey son, how tall are you?"
"Five eleven," Peyton replied in a confused tone of a voice.
"How much do you weigh?" Coach Hunter asked as he examined Peyton's body.
"One eighty and three percent body fat." Peyton proudly replied.
"Have you played football before?" Coach Hunter asked with his once again, hopeful eyes.
"I did back in Hawaii." Peyton replied.
"What position?" he asked.
"Tight end," Peyton replied.
"Perfect! Can you show me what you got after school today? We could really use someone. I tried to get Jacob to play tight end but he hates blocking people." Coach said with a light laugh.
"Sure, sure." Peyton replied.
"Great, football field at three." Coach Hunter said as he pats Peyton's back and walked away.
"You play football?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Doesn't every big bad wolf?" he asked with a booming laugh.
"I guess your right," I replied with a smile.
"So if we win the game will you go to Hanks Pizzeria with me?" he asked with a wide smile appearing across his face. I nod my head and he kissed my right cheek. "I'll see you at the game Ness." he said and walked away. I touched my right cheek and smiled while I watched him walk away.
"Yuck, wolf boy kissed your cheek." I heard uncle Emmett said. I turned to my left and he was standing next to me with his eyes also fixed towards Peyton.
"Uncle Em," I groaned.
"Your not falling for a different wolf boy, are you?" he curiously asked. I linked my arm with his as we walked down the hallway.
"It's complicated uncle Em." I replied. I've never had secrets when it comes with uncle Emmett. We're so close. Though, its hard for him to keep his thoughts to himself when it comes to my dad but my dad respects my privacy if I don't want to talk about things. Sure he worries but he learned how to keep his distance.
"How so?" he curiously asked as we stopped by the door of my last class.
"I'll talk to you about it later." I replied and gave him a smile of assurance.
"Alright, I'll come over later on after your game and you young lady will explain everything." he said and walked away. I bet if he and aunt Rosalie had the chance of having a child just like my parents did, uncle Emmett would make a fun and caring father.
I walked inside the classroom and sat down on my usual seat. Felicia suddenly appeared on Jacob's empty seat. "I bought new glitters for the game today." Felicia excitedly said.
"Sounds great," I replied trying to match her endless enthusiasm.
"Oh," she said and her smile disappearing. "Sierra told me something today. She said that Jessica is planning to ask Peyton to the homecoming dance."
"Really?" Jessica is going to ask him to go to homecoming dance? Will Peyton say yes? Of course he will, Jessica is gorgeous. Plus she is one of the contestant for the freshmen homecoming maid.
"Yeah, apparently he is an awesome kisser." Felicia said rolling her eyes. " I swear its not just Jessica is going gaga about Peyton. Both Yvette and Whitney are too. Did you know Yvette turned Henry Bartholomew down when he asked her to homecoming with him?"
"What? The senior Henry Bartholomew… the captain of the basketball team?" I asked disbelief. Felicia nods her head. Henry is the main treat to win the homecoming king. He asked Yvette whose only a Sophomore to go to the dance with him and she turned him down.
Wow!
Peyton must be THAT good of a kisser.
"Yeah I overheard her talking to Sierra during lunch today. She's hoping that Peyton would ask her to the dance. Though she knows Jessica is planning on asking him." Felicia replied.
"Wow," I said in a chuckle trying to hide my jealousy. Yes, I admit it, I AM JELOUS. I know I can't be with him because I have Jacob but the whole imprinting scenario has me rethinking about everything.
"Touchdown!" the announcer announced. "Fairbanks High wins forty seven to fourteen."
The dancers and I began to dance our victory dance after our team had just won. Peyton had passed three touchdowns alone. He did a great job. With his werewolf strength as an advantage he didn't make the touchdown himself, he just passed the ball to someone else to take the victory. I can see the difference between he and Jake. Jake would make the touchdown himself instead of passing. I saw Jessica ran to the field after our victory dance. I watched her approach Peyton. I grabbed my gym bag as I kept my eyes towards them. I saw Jessica shyly talk to him. I watched Peyton's smile getting wider. His lips moved and gave her a hug.
Did he just say yes to go to the dance with her?
I swung my gym bag over my shoulder and walked towards the parking lot where my parents were waiting for me. The two of them never missed a single game, dance competitions, and pep rally that I ever performed in.
"You were wonderful sweetheart." my dad said as he takes my gym bag from me.
"I wish I could dance like you when I was human. Thankfully I didn't make a fool out of myself during my wedding." my mom said in a giggle.
"It was all about the leading." my dad said kissing the top of my mom's head. He then froze and slowly turn around. "Did you promise to go to Hanks after the game with Peyton?" he asked in a whisper.
"Yeah but I think he's going out with Jessica tonight, why?" I asked.
"Turn around." my dad said. I turned around and Peyton was approaching me.
"Hey Ness, ready to go?" he asked as he stopped a few feet away from me. He had already changed out of his football gear.
"Go where?" I innocently asked.
"To Hanks Pizzeria silly. I asked you earlier and you said yes." he said with a light laugh. "Unless, you have something else planned." I turned to my parents who smiled.
"Go right ahead Nessie, we will see you back home." my mom said and kissed my right cheek.
"Don't forget Emmett wants to talk to you when you get home." my dad said and kissed at the same spot there my mom had kissed me.
"Alright, bye." I said and followed Peyton to his truck.
"You've been to Hanks before?" he asked breaking the silence as we walked.
"No, everyone goes to Mike's Burger Palace after the game." I replied as he held the passenger's door open.
"Well, you'll like Hanks, they make great chicken alfredo pizza." he excitedly said. I hopped inside the passenger's side of the car and he closed it behind me. Peyton slowly appeared on the driver's side. "People are watching." he said with a light laugh.
"I know," I replied as I buckled my seatbelt "You know us hanging out like this, people are going to start to talk and make assumptions." I said with a smile as I watched him buckle his seatbelt.
"Let them make their assumptions but you and I know the truth." he replied turning the ignition on.
"And that is?" Oh Nessie, shut your mouth! Such a wrong question to ask. I saw Peyton glanced I me. I bit my lower lip and looked down. "I mean… friends of course."
"Friends," he whispered.
The car ride to Hanks Pizzeria was silent, I guess I should have kept my mouth shut about where we stand. Peyton and I settled on a booth in the back of the restaurant, away from the small crowd. There were no kids our age because of course, everyone was at Mike's celebrating our victory. Peyton ordered the chicken alfredo pizza. I never had that before but there's first time in everything. "Great job today." I said breaking the awkward silence.
"Thanks," he replied with a half smile.
"You took in a lot of beating."
"It didn't hurt me at all." he chuckled. "I'm built like a brick wall, remember?"
I smiled.
"You know, I am very proud of you for letting your teammates take in all the glory." I said and I heard him laughed.
"It's the least I could do." He politely said with a smile.
After dinner, Peyton drove me home. He pulled into the driveway and held the car door open for me. "I had a great time hanging out with you Ness," he said in a whisper. I stopped and couldn't help myself but gaze at the beautiful reflection of the full moon in his eyes.
"I did too," I whispered back. I suddenly felt Peyton's left index finger lifting my chin up. His face slowly moved in closer towards mine. I closed my eyes and my heart began to pick up its pace. Then, I felt Peyton's warm lips brushing against mine.
"Goodnight Ness," he whispered with his lips inches away from mine.
"Goodnight," I whispered as I slowly opened my eyes. "Wow, your getting hairy." I said after seeing the hair on his arms and face began to grow.
"It's full moon. I'm about to go wolf. I'm trying to control it as much as I can but there's never been a full moon that I have stayed human. Too powerful for my wolf side to resist. It's like two ends of a magnet." he replied with a light chuckle.
"So can you change any other time besides full moon? When I saw you in the woods I believe it was half moon." I asked.
He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Only during new moon and crescent moons are the only times I can't wolf or go back to my human form." he replied.
"You can run around like a werewolf during the day?" I asked.
"Of course, as long as I change back before new moon or else I'm screwed for a couple of weeks." he replied with a smile. "It happened oh… once, twice, or ten times." he said with a light laugh. I smiled and he gave my lips a light peck. "I'll see you tomorrow Ness," he whispered. As Peyton pulled away from me I saw directly behind him, there stood, Jacob.
"Jake," I said in a whisper.
Jake bit his lower lip and wolfed right in front of both Peyton and I and ran towards the woods.
"I'm so sorry Ness," Peyton said.
"It's not your fault." I said as I tossed my gym bag on the front porch.
"What's going on?" my dad asked as he appeared in the front door. "Why did Jacob transformed?"
"Dad, I'll explain later, can you catch up to Jake and slow him down a bit until I can catch up to him." I asked.
"Dad?" Peyton confusingly asked.
"I'll explain later Peyton, I have to go." I said as I began to run. I felt a warm hand grabbing mine. I turned and it was Peyton almost in his wolf form.
"I'm really sorry to have created this big mess and if there's-" It's not his fault. I had been so confuse for these last few days.
"It's not your fault Peyton. I'll talk to you soon." I said and kissed his cheek and ran to look for Jacob.
