Chapter 3
Answers

I awoke in the morning to the sun shining through my window. I couldn't get a grip of myself after the dream I had had, or was it a dream? I looked groggily around my room that was filled with bright beautiful sunshine. I got out of bed and put my robe on. I walked out of my room and through the hall to the living room. There was a note on the fireplace that was addressed to me. It was from my parents.

Renesmee,

Your mother and I have gone out into the forest to hunt. If we are not back before you awake, go to grandmother Esme's and grandfather Carlisle's. Jacob will be there, he is a little bit upset with you but won't say why. Please go over there and work things out with him.

Love dad

It was then that it dawned on me that I had totally forgotten about Jake taking me to Portangeles. How could I have done this to him, I can't believe I was so stupid. I must have been so exhausted for yesterday's activities that I had fallen asleep so early. I hurried back into my room to get dressed. I picked out a denim skirt and a blue short sleeved shirt and some flip flops. I brushed out my snarled curls and decided whether or not I should put my hair up or not. I decided that I would just let it flow down my shoulders. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and then I was on my way. I was thankful for my somewhat immortal speed. I arrived at the house quickly and I could immediately smell his sent. I rushed into the house and there he was, sitting on the couch.

"Jake, oh my gosh! Jake I am so sorry about last night, I, I, I home and I-"he cut me off. "Nessie, Nessie, Nessie, its okay! I totally understand. Edward Explained that right after you got home you totally crashed." He said. I looked at him and he seemed genuinely understanding of what happened. "So, how bout we take a ride to port Angelus today?" I asked. "Sure why not, I have nothing to do today." He replied. We started out the door and I told Carlisle and Esme to tell my parents where I would be. He helped me into his car and we were off. "So, sleeping beauty, how did you sleep?" he asked. I giggled a little bit. "Pretty good, I had a lot on my mind last night though after you left." I replied. "Like what?" he asked. " well… after our conversation about my parents you said that he left and you gave her riding lessons and stuff, but you never finished talking. What else happened?" I asked nonchalantly. He stared at me for a few minutes. "After the lessons one day we were driving around and she freaked because she saw the guys cliff diving, where they jump off the cliff into the water. She thought that they pushed him off. I explained what it was and then she said she wanted to try it, so I promised her that I would take her sometime. I told her a date and she took it to heart. I had to go out on a run that day as it turned out for Sam. She decided to go anyway. Alice, millions of miles away, was still having visions of Bella and she saw Bella jump off of the cliff and saw that she was still alive, but her vision went blank after a few moments." He stopped talking. "Why?" I asked. "Well, Alice's visions are clear, when I'm not around. When I come around it goes blank and she can't see anything. I ended up pulling Bella out of the water before she drowned and that is where Alice couldn't see anymore. She thought Bella committed suicide and came to comfort Charlie because he and she got along so well. When I brought Bella home she went inside against my will and Alice was there. I came back to see if Bella was okay and to make sure that it was truly a Cullen that was there. Alice left to give Bella and I some privacy and we started talking and then the phone rang." He stopped again. I could tell this was somewhat painful for him to talk about. "Who was it?" I asked. Then his face cleared and calmness returned to it. "Edward, Rosalie had told him why Alice had come. So he called to talk to Charlie to see if it was true. I was angry because I was in love with Bella and I said 'no he's not here, he's at a funeral' and then I hung up. Charlie's friend Harry Clearwater had died and he was at his funeral while all this went on. So Edward was suicidal and he didn't want to live in a world where there was no Bella. So he went to the Volturi to ask to be killed. Alice told Bella the news and Bella left with Alice that night for Italy, forcing me to tell Charlie some sort of excuse. As for what happened when they got to Italy, I am unaware. You'd have to ask them." He finished.

I could tell that there was no more he could say, so I dropped the subject immediately. I hadn't realized that we had passed Port Angeles half a mile ago. Where was he taking me? "Uh Jake? We passed port Angelus like half a mile ago?" I stated. He smiled a big white grin and looked at me; gosh he was beautiful, so strong, so tan, and so handsome. No! No! What are you doing, you don't like him. "I know, we're going somewhere better than Port Angelus." He stated smugly. "Where?" I questioned. "I'm going to take you to Seattle. Lots of things we can do there, much better than Port Angeles." He looked at me as though he was waiting for my approval. "Unless of course you'd rather not, I can turn around if you'd like?" he looked at me as if he was so hoping that I would say no to turning around. "No this is fine, I've never been to Seattle." He smiled excitedly and we continued driving.

We made small talk along the way about random topics. Then there was silence. I finally broke it with a question. "Jake, what is this imprinting I've been hearing about?" he froze and then his tension stopped and he relaxed. "Its uh…oh we're here! Look Nessie, its Seattle" he stopped talking as we were entering the magnificent city of Seattle.
