Chapter 26
Get away

Carlisle's words ran through my mind over and over. We wait. That's all he could say is, we wait. That wasn't good enough for me; I needed more to go off of.

"I think I'm going to go see Antoine, I want to talk to him."

"Okay dear, have fun." My mother replied.

I ran out the door and into the forest, I hoped that Antoine would provide some comfort for me. When I got to his house I knocked on his door. I waited for a response but there was none. I knocked again, and there was still no response.

"Antoine! Hello? It's Renesmee!"

No answer.

I tried to open the door but it was locked. This was strange…maybe he's out of town or something. I decided I would go see Jake instead. I ran through the woods and back to the Cullen's. When I got inside everyone looked at me with odd expressions.

"I thought you were going to go see Antoine?" my mother asked.

"I was, but he wasn't there, I'm going over to Jake's instead."

They smiled at me this time and nodded. I ran out the door and got into the yellow Porsche and drove out of the garage. Where was Antoine? How could he not be home and what was with the signing off when I get on? Did I do something wrong? No, I couldn't have, we spent a wonderful evening together the other night and we said we love each other. You don't say I love you to someone you are mad at.
I was finally at Jake's. He was there to greet me when I got out of the car. He ran over to me, picked me up, and twirled me around.

"Hey there Nessie!"

"Hey Jake!"

He put me down and hugged me. Something came over me and I leaned up and kissed him. I felt so comfortable kissing Jake, I felt like a teen girl again, a teen girl who had a sweet Romance with the sweetest guy. Our lips moved in sync with each other's. I felt so amazing and I never wanted it to end. Unfortunately Jake has to breathe and he ended the kiss.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I have some bad news."

"Uh-oh…what's going on?"

"The Volturi is coming."

He groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Again?"

"Yeah, again. They are coming for Rosaline this time though, it isn't their yearly checkups they do on me. Most likely because she's immortal…well somewhat immortal."

"When are they coming?"

"We don't know, soon though."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"No, I don't think so…maybe to be someone for me to lean on when it gets stressful."

"I will always do that…even when they are gone."

I smiled at him and kissed him again.

"Thanks."

He put his arm around me and led me into the shed. The bikes that we rode on my birthday were still there. I felt a sudden urge to just run away from here; I wanted to run away with him.

"Jake."

"What?"

"I want to get away from here."

"Does my shed make you uncomfortable?"

"No, I want to get away from forks; I want to go to Seattle."

"That's kind of random."

"I know but I need to just get away from here."

He walked over to me and moved a strand of hair from my face.

"Alright."

"Really? We can go somewhere?"

"Yes, we should ask your parents though."

"No, I don't want to tell them right now, I just want to get away from it all."

"What about Rosaline?"

"She won't know either."

He sighed and looked around the room.

"Fine."

He leaned down and kissed me quickly.

"Go pack."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

I walked back to the Porsche and got in. How was I going to get past my parents without them noticing? I decided that I would wait until Rosaline was sleeping and they thought that I was asleep as well. I began to drive home. Where would we stay in Seattle? We can't just sleep in the car the whole time. I drove into the Cullen's garage and parked the car. I went inside and everyone was sitting around talking.

"How was Jake?" my father asked.

"He's great, he was out all night with Sam and the pack and he's really tired, so I decided to let him sleep."

"Oh, I see."

"I think I'm going to go try to see if Antoine is home yet."

"Fine." My father grumbled.

I walked out the door and ran into the forest. I hoped that he was there, I wouldn't let him onto the plan, and I just wanted to see him. When I arrived at his house I stopped quickly. I knocked on the door.

No answer.

I knocked again.

No answer.

"Antoine?! It's me! Renesmee!"

Still no answer. I tried opening the door and it was still locked. I walked around the house and looked into one of the windows. I saw no one. I decided to give up and I ran home. When I got inside I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I walked into my room and grabbed my suitcase and opened it up. I went over to my closet to get some clothes. I grabbed a handful of shirts, shorts, and jeans. I grabbed some underwear and bras as well. I looked around the room and decided I didn't need anything else. I was really tired and knew that we were going to be up late tonight, so I lay down on the bed to take a nap.

"Renesmee!"

I woke up to see Rosaline sitting on top of me, shaking my shoulder.

"What's going on?"

"Nothin…I'm bored."

"Go on the computer if you want."

She contemplated that for a moment and then shook her head. I sat up and looked at her.

"Okay, what do you want to do?"

"I want to—watch a movie."

"What movie?"

"Um—I don't know."

"What time is it?"

I looked over at the clock and it was 10:30 p.m.

"Maybe you should go to bed?"

"I'm not tired."

"Tell you what, I have a song that my father used to play for my mother. IT always put her to sleep."

"Okay…what is it?"

I got up and rummaged through one of my drawers until I found it. I pulled out a CD copy of my mother's lullaby. I walked over to my CD player and put it in. I hit play and she laid back and covered up. She listened to it and finally fell asleep. There was a little noise at my window. I walked over and opened it. Jake was outside throwing pebbles.

"Ready?!" he half whispered and shouted.

"Yeah, just a sec!"

I walked over to my bed and pulled out the suitcase from under it. I walked back over the window and showed him my suitcase. He held out his arms and motioned for me to throw it down to him. I did so and he caught it easily. He set it down and then motioned for me to jump down as well. I looked at him frantically.

"Renesmee, just jump, I'll catch you. I promise."

"Okay."

I sat on the windowsill and then jumped off. I had to keep myself from screaming, but he caught me right away.

"Told you I'd catch you." He said smiling.

He set me down and I giggled. I went to grab my suitcase and he took it from me.

"I've got this; my car is parked out front."

"No, your car won't make it there fast enough, let's take the Porsche."

"How are we going to take the Porsche without them noticing?"

"I have an idea."

I walked around our house quietly.

"OH my god Jake! Think about other stuff, like…how much you miss me."

"Why?"

"Because my father will read your thoughts."

"Good thought."

I ran into the woods and towards the Cullen's. When we got there he stopped next to me. I quietly walked up the stairs to the house. I looked into the windows and saw no one around. I quietly and slowly opened the door. There wasn't any sound after I did so, I decided to keep going. I motioned for Jake to stay outside. I crawled quietly around the house to where I put the keys. I set them on the dining room table. I got to the room next to it and saw that no one was there. I checked my surroundings to make sure I was in the clearing, I was. I slowly crawled to the table and checked again, still no one; I grabbed the keys, careful not to bang them together. I quickly crawled back to the door that I came in. Jake was standing outside waiting for me.

"Got um!" I whispered.

He smiled and we walked to the garage. I ran over to the yellow Porsche and got in. Jake got in next to me and I put the keys in the ignition. I slowly turned them and the engine roared to life. I pulled out slowly into the drive way. Jake looked around and nodded. When we got out of the driveway and down the road a few miles, I finally sighed of relief.

"Okay, Seattle here we come." I said.
