Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but I do own the design of the house in Alaska, the design to Jamie's house, Jamie, and Ricky.
I looked at the clock. Ten minutes to go. How would I stand it? I hadn't been hunting in weeks, and now my throat was burning. Not to mention the party tomorrow, at Jamie's house.
I looked around my English classroom. I caught Aunt Rose's eye, and she smiled at me. This was the only class I had with her, other than lunch. It was my fourth senior year, and we were halfway through the second semester. I was wondering where we were going to go next when the bell rang. I threw everything into my bag and darted out of there like a bat out of hell, my Aunt Rose right behind me.
"Slow down, Ness," she muttered, grabbing my hand, "You might draw attention going that fast."
"Sorry, I just can't stand that class," I said, throwing up my hands.
"You are so unlike your mother, English has always been her favorite subject," she laughed.
"Why are you talking about me?" my mom asked as we walked up to the rest of the family. Mom and Dad were leaning against Mom's Ferrari, Uncle Jazz and Aunt Alice were already in Uncle Em's Jeep, and Uncle Em and Aunt Rose were locked in a tight embrace, probably not quite appropriate for school…
Dad cleared his throat, looking pointedly at them. Uncle Em laughed and pulled away, but still kept an arm around her waist. "Are we going hiking tonight?" I asked, begging with my eyes and thoughts for Dad to say yes.
"Yes, Nessie, we are. A father/daughter bonding trip!" he said. You're way too excited, I thought. He flashed me a crooked smile. I saw Mom get weak in the knees. She was totally head over heels for him.
Dad flashed me another smile, then said, "Get in the car."
"Yeah, yeah," I said. I couldn't wait to go; I loved spending time with Dad. He always knew what to say, no matter what I was going through. Except one thing, and that was the one thing I need to talk to someone most about. Jacob, my Jacob.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as we pulled into the garage. I got out of the car and ran upstairs, to the room I was staying in at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I opened the door and put on my hunting clothes. Aunt Alice was the reason for my vast wardrobe, sometimes she could get out of control.
I ran down the stairs and right up to my father. "And you said I was too excited," he laughed, shaking his head.
"Whatever, let's go!" I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him out the back door.
"Bye, Bella," he said, blowing her a kiss.
"Bye, Edward, Renesmee," Mom said, looking up from the chess game she was playing with Uncle Jasper.
Dad and I ran until we caught the scent of a herd of moose. We chased them down and drained them all. When we were done, I sat back on my heels. I looked up at the sky. Clouds, as usual. But they weren't the right kind of clouds. The clouds here were choppy and broken apart, not like the smooth blanket of grey clouds in Forks. I missed Forks, but most of all, I missed Jake.
"Dad, are we ever gonna go back?" I asked.
"I don't know, Nessie," he sighed.
"Can we go there next?" I asked, hope leaking into my voice.
"We'll ask Carlisle," he said, standing up and putting out his hand. I grabbed it and we raced home. I was smiling the whole way there.
What do ya think? Good? Bad? Please review!
