Summer 2000-

My toes curled in the sand, the grainy feel has returned. A smile broke out onto my face.

I was back.

I was the last to arrive, according to Alice, we spent many nights gossiping about everything and everyone.

"NESSIE!" A familiar voice squealed. I turned around and then fell straight into the sand. "I MISSED YOUR FACE BABE!" She hugged me before bouncing up off the ground. "Ohmygosh, so Jasper is here, like right now, and he is SO CUTE!"

I clamped my hands over my ears and continued to hear her muffled squeals of delight.

I stood up and big hands covered my eyes from behind me when I finally dropped my arms back to my sides. "Guess who," The familiar husky voice whispered. I smiled and turned around.

"Hmm, It's Jacob right?" I smiled when he hugged me tightly. I laughed lightly and took a deep breath in. "Hey Jake," I looked at him deeply, he changed - a lot. He was taller and more muscular, his face lost every aspect of being a child. He looked like a man, an incredibly gorgeous man.

"So, since you left before your sixteenth birthday...I'm taking you out tonight for a birthday dinner in town." He gave me a breathless smile. Was it possible that he got even more charming?

"Oh, really now?" I asked with a playful smile. I was still in his arms when Alice cleared her throat.

"Ooookay, weird love connection going on between you two...I'm gonna go now..." She ran away and we both laughed at her bouncing form.

"So, be ready at eight?" He asked me, his fingers tilted my chin up.

"Okay."

He smiled before kissing me softly, My hands weaved through his hair as our kiss deepened. We both pulled away breathless, his hair looked rather disheveled.

"See you," He murmured before walking away backwards, he then turned around and continued on walking as I watched him.

So fucking cute.

I skipped back to my house all while humming. I began to run up the stairs towards my room once I had gotten inside when my father's voice called me back down.

"Renesmee, where are you going?"

"Jake's taking me out to dinner at eight, I have to get ready." I started to turn back around when his voice stopped me again.

"We just got here Renesmee, and you think you're going out to dinner with him?" He looked at me sternly.

Oh no.

"Da - ad. It's just Jacob!"

"I know all about him, Renesmee. Your nightly talks with Alice kept me awake for quite some time." My jaw fell open, he was listening?

"I'm sixteen - I can make my own decisions!" I stormed up the stairs and slammed my bedroom door once I was safely inside. I ran to my bathroom and quickly gave myself fat curls and light make - up. I dressed in a pretty dress that I knew Jake would love, I paired it with a pair of cute heels and declared myself ready. I glanced at the clock, five more minuets.

I opened my window and climbed down to the ground successfully. My heels clicked as I ran around to the front yard. There was Jake, waiting for me.

"Someone looks gorgeous." He quirked an eyebrow as he held the door open for me to get in.

"Thank you," I said while a heated blush grew on my face.

Thanks for having me inherit your blush, mom.

We spent the night laughing and flirting, but mostly catching up. Once we left the restaurant, we went for a board walk in town.

"You've changed so much since last year," I said with a smile.

"How so?" He asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"Physically speaking, you've changed a hell of a lot. But you're more laid back now. I like it." His hand interlaced with mine as he laughed lightly.

What a perfect night...

Fall 2008-

I can't believe today is the day for my best friend, and I'm going alone.

I would be the one to have no date.

"Alice!" I called from the dressing room as the woman doing my hair finished.

"What!" She called back to me from the other side of the room. She was getting her huge designer dress on.

oh geeze.

"Do I look nice?" I looked myself in the full length mirror and saw that my shoulder blade length curly hair was half up and half down - it was held up with a huge diamond incrested clip. My curls were thick and big as the cascaded down my back. My dress had a halter bodice with a ruched empire waist making my silhouette appear longer and it is accented with crystal brooch. It showed off most of my back, revealing my alabaster skin. It's a deep royal blue in color that makes my skin glow.

"You look stunning!" She gushed as she continued to get into her big dress.

The bridesmaids had to wear different dresses that were all in white, I don't know what Alice made me wear blue.

"Go meet the guy that's walking you down the isle, Jasper never told me who!" Alice said quickly. They must have been lacing up the back of her dress.

I rolled my eyes and left the dressing room, My heels clicked against the marble floor as I walked towards the guys dressing room. Just as I was about to knock on the door, it flung open and out came all of the groomsmen and the groom himself.

"Renesmee! Hey!" He said quickly, I noticed in the corner of my eye that Emmett and Mike were nearly running away.

"What's wrong?" I groaned,

"Uh, well, one of the groomsmen isn't here...the one walking you down the isle." Jasper said with a nervous laugh.

I blinked a few times, "And uh, I don't know if you'll be happy or not with the replacement..."

"Jasper Whitlock." I said in a calm voice as I closed my eyes. I opened my mouth once, then closed it. I opened my eyes to stare at him - he was nearly trembling.

"I'm late, I know." I heard a deep voice say from behind me down the hall.

I knew that voice to well.

I turned around and my breath hitched.

Jacob.

I wasn't pleased when the only two words that came out of his mouth were, "Holy shit."

To say i was absolutely infuriated with Jasper's decision for a replacement was an understatement.

The feelings that had been buried so deeply resurfaced so quickly it almost gave me a whiplash, My heart started to break again as the wrenching pain came back to me as if what he had done to me many summers ago just had happened.

The pricking of the tears and the lump in my throat were a sign of what I had to do, I turned around and gave Jasper a look of loathing before walking back to where Alice was still getting dressed. My heels clicking angrily the whole way there...

Summer 2000 -

The summer flew by like the ones before it, but this time it seemed to go by even fasted. The sun burns, parties and sleep overs were of normal traditions - but the sneaking out, concerts and undeniable romances were all welcomingly new.

It was a normal day of tanning with the girls on the beach, I briefly could here the boys playing a rowdy game of tackle football. A few minuets passed and I was soon picked up off of my chair and slung over a shoulder. My eyes opened to see the toned back of my Jacob.

"Jake." I sighed with a small laugh. "Could you put me down now?"

"Nah, sorry gorgeous - but we're going on a walk."

"Walk? Well, If we're walking - it requires for my feet to be planted on the ground, does it not?" He laughed and set me down. He wrapped me in his arms and deeply kissed me.

"Now, we can walk." He smiled bright and took my hand in his, interlacing our fingers like so many times before.

We walked nearly a half mile before he spoke up. "Ness - I won't be here next summer." He said softly.

I stopped dead in our tracks and dropped his hand. "You what?"

"I'm going to Alabama as soon as my senior year is over - UA wants me in June to start training for football."

My breathing stopped, my eyes stung with tears. He was leaving me - breaking up so to speak.

"What are you trying to say, Jacob." He hated it when I used his full name.

"I think we should break up, I'm trying so hard not to be selfish and ask you to stay with me when we'd be hours and hours or miles from each other. God - I would give anything for us to stay together, but I can't do that to you - to us. It'd be so much of a bother..."

"I wouldn't mind," I pleaded. "I don't care - it's not selfish Jake! You love me, and i love you. I'll visit every other week, daddy won't mind. He knows how much we love each other -"

"I can't ask you to do that, Nessie."

"You're not asking, I'm offering - I want to do it!" He shook his head and turned away from me.

"I can't ruin your life like that."

I closed my eyes once the tears fell, I knew he wouldn't budge from his standpoint.

"By being without you, is ruining my life." I turned away from him and ran. I ran fast back to my house. I flew up the stairs and into my bedroom. I started throwing things in my suitcase, packing everything as quick as I could. My parents burst into the room, looking worried.

"Renesmee - dear, what are you doing?" My mother asked, she came up behind me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"I want to leave - now. Please mom." I looked up at her desperately, she pursed her lips tightly and looked back at my father. "Edward, start packing please. I'll help Renesmee with her things."

"Are you sure, love?" He seemed unsure of my mothers irrational decision.

"Please, dear." He nodded his head and left the room. I sighed as my mother pulled me against her body, hugging me tightly.

"Is it Jacob?" My sobs grew louder when she mentioned his name, she whispered to me softly telling me it was alright and began packing my belongings. I called Alice and Rose, they rushed over immediately. I met them at the door in a crushing embrace. We were all crying at this point due to my sudden decision of leave.

"You have to call me every day, keep tabs - I'll kick your ass if you don't." Alice said to me like she does every summer, Rose said the same and I agreed to both.

"I will, I promise." The tears were gone, just because I cried so much I couldn't cry anymore. I watched as my father loaded the car and got into the from seat with my mother.

"Come on darling, it's a long drive to the airport." I heard my father say from the car. I hugged my girls one last time before running off the porch and into the car. I just happened to look in the rear view mirror to see a familiar distant figure running towards this direction.

"Daddy, let's go." I said as I settled into the seat. The car started and began it's drive as I waved goodbye to my best friends. I turned around to see Jacob just comming to the poarch. He took a step forward but Alice stopped him, his expression was so pained I couldn't watch any longer. I turned back around and closed my eyes, praying I would never have to see the man who broke my heart ever again.
