Chapter 2

The next two days passed by in a blur. With all the dress and tux fittings and rehearsals, I barely had time to eat! Finally, it was the night before the big day. I laid there, wide awake in my bed, counting the little bumps on my ceiling. Every five minutes I picked up my clock to see what time it was. Time passed so slowly I could have cried! I dreaded tomorrow. Well, the time before the wedding anyways. I couldn't see Jacob for an entire day! I hadn't hardly seen him today. My heart fell a little when I thought about it. Suddenly, a new thought entered my mind. I laughed maniacally to myself and jumped out of bed.

I began to take off my pajamas and put on a sweater and pants. I was about to swing open the door and take a run for it, but then I remembered that Mom and Dad were wide awake. I had to be particularly sneaky, then. I carefully turned the bronze handle on my bedroom door and gently pulled it open just enough to where I could see outside. My Mom and Dad were sitting in the living room, kissing it up on the couch. They were so cute. I hoped Jacob and I could love each other the same way. I smiled and gently shut the door. Okay. So I wasn't getting out the front door. I stood in the middle of my room, thinking hard. I heard a bird outside and I glanced out my window. Then it registered in my head; the window was probably a more productive way out.

I quietly stepped for the window and took a firm grasp on it. I pulled up easily on it careful not to make any creaks. Once it was open enough for my body to squeeze through, I perched on the window ceil and hopped onto the cold ground outside. I had made it without completely giving myself away! I did a little dance right there and then went to the garage. I punched in the buttons to open the door and watched it slowly reveal my motorcycle, along with my family's cars. I grabbed both handlebars on the bike and pushed it the entire way down our driveway. When I was sure the sound of the engine starting wouldn't disturb anyone too bad, I swung my leg over to the other side and swiftly turned it on. Before I knew it, I was speeding down the little road to La Push.

I pulled into Jacob's driveway, nearly jumping off the bike before I could turn it off. I sprinted to the backyard where Jacob's window was. He was on the first story, so I easily climbed onto the window ceil. I tapped on the glass just loud enough to wake Jacob. I could hear him roll out of bed and step closer to the window. As he got closer, my heart became erratic. Suddenly, he pushed up the window and had a surprised look thrown on his face.

"Nessie?" He mumbled sleepily, "What are you doing-" I cut him off mid-sentence as I jumped through the window, smothering him in a hug. He held me there for a minute or two, and then pulled away to face me. "Nessie, what are you doing here?"

"I couldn't go two days without seeing you!" He rolled his eyes and kissed me. I didn't want it to end. I was losing air, so I had to pull away to catch my breath.

Jacob pulled me over to his recliner in the corner of his room and pulled me into his lap. I curled up to where his long arms held me tight. Finally he spoke. "Nessie, I don't want to be away from you either, but it's almost five. If you don't go home now, your parents will kill you and Alice will kill you for staying out all night."

I sighed at the undeniable truth. I slid from his arms and stood up on my own. I whispered bye and crawled out of the window. I started walking towards the front of the house to my motorcycle. I sat on it and started it up once more. I started to get worried about my mom and dad finding me gone, so I really hit the gas.

Once I pulled in my own driveway I turned off the bike and slid back into my open window. My back was facing the door to my room as I gently closed the window. I was so relieved I didn't get caught when I turned around to find my dad standing right there in front of my. I screamed and knocked over the clock on my desk.

"Renessmee? Is there a reason you snuck out to go see Jacob at four in the morning?" I almost peed on myself I was so afraid.

"Um…Oh Daddy! I couldn't just not see him for two whole days! I would have died!" I flushed at my sudden flow of words. He probably didn't need to hear that.

He cleared his throat before he spoke. "Um, alright, I suppose. Uh, I'm going to go, um, fix breakfast for you.." I definitely embarrassed him to death. He walked out of the room, muttering to himself. I decided I should sleep so Alice doesn't kill me for having deep purple bags under my eyes. I laid back in bed and gently fell asleep.

I fluttered my eyes open as I woke up. Once I fully cam into consciousness, I jumped at the sight of Alice hovering over me like a hawk.

"Alice! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I was sitting up in bed now, grasping my chest for air. Alice chuckled.

"No, I am trying to wake the bride up! You're getting married in exactly twelve hours! Aren't you excited? Of course you are, now get up and come upstairs to my bathroom. We have a lot of work to do"

I rolled out of bed and Alice grabbed my hand, leading me up the stairs. She sat me down and began her tireless work. I was in for a long day.
