Chapter Sixteen
Left Behind
Renesmee's Point of View…
"And Nessie you and Felicia do your solos after this note." says Meghan, our dance team captain, during practice. "Lets try this again," she said as everyone went back to formation. "one… two-"
"Nessie come quick!" I heard a male's voice sounded. I turned and it was Greg whose still equipped in his football gear.
"What is it?" I asked leaving the formation.
"It's Jacob and Peyton!" he replied with an alarmed tone of a voice. Jacob and Peyton? What could have happened? Are they okay?
"What's going on?" I asked jogging towards him. He grabbed my left hand and pulled me to run faster. I wish I could run in my vampire speed but that would give away my family's secret. I used my vampire 20/20 vision and there, I saw in the middle of the football field Peyton and Jacob wrestling as coach Hunter and his staff trying to pull them apart but the two of them kept on grabbing on each other and they're both stronger than the entire football staff combined. Oh my goodness, I was afraid things would end this way. I am surprised Jacob hasn't phased yet. I know Peyton wont phase unless the moon is out but Peyton is at his strongest today because its still full moon. "Jake! Peyton! Stop!" I yelled as Greg and I approach them. "Jake! Peyton! Stop!" I continued.
"Renesmee back away!" coach Hunter said as he tries to pull Jacob but it was no use. Instead Jacob has dragged him along as he and Peyton kept on hitting each other with full force. I can see blood running down their mouths and noses but they still wouldn't stop. I stopped and took a deep breath trying to resist Peyton's blood. His blood is even more stronger because it out in the open.
"Stop!" I yelled as I felt tears began to roll down my cheeks. I saw Jacob stopped and turned to me. His eyes full of regret.
"Nessie," he whispered and Peyton hit him knocking him down on the ground. Peyton turned and saw me.
"Ness," he whispered. I shook my head and ran away.
"Nessie!" I heard Jacob's voice calling. I wiped the tears off my eyes as I ran towards the gym. "Nessie," Jacob said pulled me into a hug. "I am really, really sorry…" he whispered. I hit his chest as hard as I can and suddenly buried my face in his hard stoned chest and cried. "Nessie, I am very sorry." he said crying along with me. "I didn't mean to lose my temper. Oh Nessie please forgive me." he said pulling me in an even tighter hug.
"Jacob Black!" called coach Hunter.
Jacob sighed.
"I am in a heap of trouble," he whispered as he slowly let me go. He turned around to face coach Hunter. "Suspension?"
"I should have you expelled! You threw the first punch Jacob, you should be expelled!" he furiously replied. He then stopped and stared at Jacob. "Your… your healed." he said in a whisper.
"Fast healer," Jacob replied in a whisper as he wiped the blood off this face with his hands.
Coach Hunter shook his head. "I am sorry Jacob, both you and Peyton are not playing at the game this Friday and you have three weeks of morning detention and Peyton has two weeks."
"Fair enough," Jacob replied in a sigh.
"I want the two of you to try to get along! You two are the best players I have seen in my entire coaching career and I know you two have a great future ahead of you. I don't want you two to mess that up." he firmly replied.
"Thanks coach," Jacob replied as he turned to me then back to coach Hunter. "Do you think I can go home?"
"Go right ahead, detention starts tomorrow morning at six forty-five." coach said. Jacob sighed and turned to me as coach Hunter walks away.
"Want me to drop you home or your still bringing Peyton to the house?" he asked with his face quenching as he mentions Peyton's name.
"How did you know about that?" I asked. I don't remember mentioning that to him this morning.
"How do you think the fight started?" he asked in a whisper.
"Oh…" I replied and turned to Peyton who was talking to coach Hunter.
"It's fine, introduce him to your parents. Its only customary." Jacob said as he walks away.
"Jake… please don't be like that." I said jogging to catch up to him.
"Being what?" he asked turning around. "Edward and Bells already turned their backs on me." he sighed and looked down. "Lets face it Nessie, I feel like there's nothing here for me anymore. I'm better off back in La Push, where my family is." he then brushed his left hand on my right cheek.
"Please don't say that Jake." I replied as I felt tears once again forming in my eyes.
"Who are we kidding Nessie, first I tried to fight for your mom's affection and I lost against Edward. Now… Peyton." he sighed and kissed my left cheek. I felt his warm lips tickled my cheeks as my heart began to pick up its pace. "Goodbye Nessie," he said and disappeared. I placed my hand over to the site where he had just kissed. I cant believe this, Jacob is returning to La Push. Leaving me, for good…
"Are you okay?" I heard Peyton's voice sounded behind me. I wiped the tears off my eyes and turned around showing him a weak smile.
"Yeah, are you okay?" I asked.
"Don't worry about me, I heal really fast but are you alright?" he asked as he lift my chin to face him. "Your crying… did Jacob-"
"No he didn't hurt me. Lets go," I replied and walked towards the locker room to grab my school bag and gym bag.
Peyton patiently waited for me outside of the girl's locker room. The two of us walked towards the parking lot and I saw that Jacob's car was gone. The drive towards my house, was silent. Peyton didn't want to say anything, frightened, to hurt me. I am glad it was silent because I really need to clear my head before dad worries more. We pulled into the driveway and walked towards the house. Peyton carried my gym bag as I carried my school bag. "Mom! Dad!" I called, no one answered. I placed my school bag near the front door. "Grandma!" I called. I turned to Peyton who was looking around the room. "My grandmother doesn't know about my family's secret." I said in a whisper.
"Okay," Peyton said with a light chuckle.
"Rene went to Carlisle's." I heard my mom said as she showed a weak smile. "Peyton, its nice to formally meet you." my mother said showing a little more enthusiasm.
"Pleasure meeting you too Bella." Peyton replied as the two of them shake hands.
"Where's dad?" I asked as I looked around.
"With Jake, he'll be in, in a little bit. Come on you two, lets go to the kitchen, I have prepared some snacks." she said as she guides us towards the kitchen.
"I'll be right there, I just have to bring my stuff up to my room." I said with a smile as I picked up my bags and sped towards my room. I tossed my bags to my bed and peeked outside the window. There, I saw Jacob loading his mustang with all his belongings. He was serious, he wasn't kidding. My dad was talking to him. I can barely hear what they're saying.
Oh Jake…
I sighed and went back downstairs towards the kitchen where Peyton was eating a piece of the chocolate cake that mom had made. "You're a great cook Bella," he comments. My mom laughed and placed a piece in one of the glass plates.
"Thank you Peyton." my mom replied. "Here you go sweetheart," she said handing me the slice.
"Thanks mom," I said as I sat down on the bar stool.
"So Peyton, tell me something about your family." my mom said as she stands in front of us.
"My dad is in the airforce and my mom is a nurse. I think she works with Carlisle at Fairbanks Hospital." Peyton said as he placed his fork down.
"You can have another slice." my mom said flashing her beautiful smile.
"No thank you," Peyton politely said. "I'm an only child." he continued. "I'm seventeen… well seventeen until I create a spawn which I don't want anytime soon." he added with a chuckle.
"Oh," my mom said as she turned towards the door when my dad had entered. My dad looked hurt. I guess he's blaming himself for Jacob leaving. He then showed a fake smile. I can tell because its not his usual crooked silly smile.
"Hello Peyton, its nice to see you again." my father said as he shakes Peyton's right hand.
"It's nice to see you again Edward." Peyton replied.
"Great to have you visit our home Peyton." my father said as he wrapped his arms around my mother's waist and kissed her on the cheek. They're so adorable and so inlove from all these years.
An hour later, Peyton's father had called him to come home because it's a school night. I went to my room and changed into my pajamas to get ready for bed. I looked out my window and there I saw Jacob still loading his belongings into his tiny car. I sighed and pulled my hair up in a ponytail and jumped out my window. I jogged barefoot towards him. "Hey… are you really leaving?" I asked in a whisper as I cautiously approach him. He glanced at me and placed two suitcase in the backseat of his car.
"Yeah, I already called Rachel, Paul is clearing out my room as we speak." He simply replied as he turned around to grab a small mover's box and placed it next to the suitcases that he had placed on the backseat.
"Jacob?" I asked in a whisper as I bit my lower lip.
"What is it Nessie?" he asked as he placed another box in the backseat.
"Please don't leave…" I replied as I hugged him. I felt him sigh and slowly pulled away from my hug.
"And do what Nessie? Watch you fall deeper for Peyton? I have seen that with your mother. I can't go through this again Renesmee…" he said and walked inside the guest house. The only time he's ever called me by my full name is when he's angry with me. I ran after him inside the house. Our portraits together still hung on the walls. I highly doubt he's planning to bring any of our photographs together or any memory of me. I walked straight into his bedroom to find him tossing more clothes into his suitcases.
I grabbed his shoulder and turned him around to face me. I looked into his brokenhearted face and pulled him towards me and pressed my lips against his. Our lips danced against each other as his hands wondered on my back. I ran my fingers through his short hair and pulled him even closer to me. I then felt him lightly pushed me away.
"You can't have everything you want Nessie, I'll make this decision easier for you." he said as he closed his suitcase and walked out of the room.
"But Jake, I love you!" I yelled as tears roll down my cheeks. "Jake!" I called and I heard the door slammed and the car engine starting. I ran towards the garage and saw him pulling out of the driveway. "Jacob!" I yelled as I tried to run after his car but his car was faster. I felt a pair of cold hands pulling me back and I slammed my body against the person who had grabbed me and let my tears continue to steam down my cheeks.
Jacob had left me and I am still inlove with him but I am also inlove with Peyton. Jacob said that he'll make the decision easier for me by letting me be with Peyton. I grabbed the bracelet that Jacob had made for me when I was young and ripped the strings off and threw it on the ground. It was the Quileutes version of a promise ring. He had broken his promise to me. He had made the decision for me by handing me over to Peyton.
The following morning I have found myself in bed. I guess my father has tucked me in last night after stopping me from running after Jacob's car. Jacob is really gone and back to La Push. He doesn't want to fight for me anymore and he's tired to his heart broken. I turned towards my nightstand and found the bracelet that I have ripped off my hand. My dad must have picked it up and left it there. I sighed and went to my bathroom. I looked in front of the mirror and starred at my reflection. My eyes were all puffy from nonstop crying. I have lost someone who has been a great impact in my life. I glanced at the clock that hung in my bathroom wall and it was ten in the morning. No one woke me up for school. I guess my parents knows well enough to not let me go to school today. I jumped into the shower just clean myself up.
After getting dressed, I walked downstairs and saw my father about to sit down in the piano as my mom and grandmother reads the newspaper. "Goodmorning sweetheart," my father said when he saw me walking down the staircase.
"Morning," I simply replied.
"Are you hungry sweetheart?" my mother asked as she placed her newspaper down and walked up to me.
"Yeah," I replied. She then pulled me into a hug.
"Come on," she said as she pulled me towards the kitchen. "What would you like?"
"Omelet please." I replied as I walked towards the fridge and grabbed the gallon of milk. I sighed and grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured my milk.
"Nessie, your cellphone." my dad said as he hands me my vibrating cellphone. I looked at the caller ID and it was Peyton. I guess he's wondering why I'm not at school today.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Ness, you shouldn't be picking up your cellphone while your in school. I was just going to leave you a message." he said in a panic.
"I'm not at school Peyton. I'm at home." I replied trying to calm him
"Oh, in that case… Do you think we can meet? I have something important to talk to you about." he said in a whisper.
"Okay hold on," I turned to my dad who nod his head. "Ok I'll meet you in an hour." I replied.
"Thanks Ness," he said and hung up the phone.
I wonder what he wants to talk to me about. Did he find out that Jacob left town? Why isn't he at school also? Did he and Jacob had another confrontation last night?
I turned to my dad who had a worried look appearing across his face. I silently sat down on the barstool as my mom placed the omelet in front of me.
After breakfast I changed into my short and a light t-shirt and my tennis shoes. I told grandma Renee that I am going for a run and she believed it. I ran towards the woods and saw Peyton waiting for me. He was dressed in a light blue long sleeve shirt and a faded blue jeans and a black leather shoes. He looked really handsome. A smile spread across his face when he saw me approaching him.
"Hey," he said as he gives me a hug.
"Hey," I replied. "So what's up?" I asked as we both sat down on the boulder.
"Listen Ness, my dad got transferred." he said as he bit his lower lip and rubbed the back of his neck. "We're leaving now. It was short notice. He got the orders straight from Washington yesterday and the movers are packing our things as we speak." he said with a weak smile. He's leaving me too, everyone is leaving me. First I find out grandma was dying, then Jacob left last night and today, Peyton is leaving. "Its only four thousand fifty-one miles away. I can still come and see you every weekend. My dad told me that he can fly me here, he is a pilot after all. We can still be together if you chose me." he said as he lowered his head to be in my level.
"I know…" I replied as I pulled him into a hug.
"I love you Renesmee," he whispered in my ear.
"I love you too Peyton." I replied and felt him lightly pulling away from the hug. He then lift my chin and gave my lips a soft and gentle kiss.
"I wont say goodbye but I will see you soon." he whispered.
"Alright," I replied and the two of us walked away from each other. The run home was excruciating. I have lost the two people who I have fallen in love with. The two of them had moved away from me. Jacob in La Push and Peyton moving to Montreal.
As I approached the house, my dad met me outside. He quickly pulled me into a hug and I let my tears roll down my cheeks. "Shh…" my dad whispered. "It will be alright sweetheart." he whispered.
The rest of the day I have locked myself in my room. My mom brought me my food. No one mentioned neither one of the guys and I didn't talk to anyone. My mom understand that I need to let everything out and work it out on my own for a little while.
Throughout the night I have wondered how my life would be with any of them and I can't bare to think how would it be without any of them. With Jacob, I the two of us could live in a small town, somewhere sunny and he can open his own garage and I can be a school teacher. He can coach a little football league, Jacob is great with kids. I know because he took great care of me when I was growing up. We can have two children, a boy and a girl. Maybe Seath could be our next door neighbor but he is definitely not babysitting.
With Peyton, I can picture the two of us living by the beach somewhere. With the two of us working as school teachers and traveling the world…
Wait a minute.
I got it!
I quickly ran into my closet and started packing my clothes. My dad walked inside with a worried look in his face with my mother beside him. "Sweetheart are you sure about this?" he asked.
"Yes dad, I'm sure." I replied. My mom smiled as she hands me the keys to her Ferrari. I gave both of them a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be back in time to go to Phoenix with grandma." I said as I ran out of the house. I went to the garage and turned car on and drove away. I am not hoping that I am making the right choice, I know I am making the right choice. I cant live without this man in my life and its time to make things right.
After ten hours of nonstop driving, just as Yellowhead Hwy split. I had a choice between turning left to head to Montreal or turn right to go down to La Push. I smiled because this is the easiest decision I have to make in months.
