Chapter 6
"Don't stand there do something!" I scream frantically. Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, and Carlisle pulls Emmett off Jake and my mom steps in front of my dad. As Jake falls to the floor, I rush to his side. "Jakey, are you okay?" I ask as I cup my hands around his face. "Yeah." He replies as I throw my arms around him. "How dare you try to defile my innocent niece like that!" Emmett snarls, trying to break their grips. "Jasper, quit playing with my emotions! I don't need to calm down!" "If you ever lay your filthy paws on her like that again, I will rip you to shreds!" He says as he finally break their grasps and storms out with Rose chasing after him. My mom leads my dad to their room, before he can do anything he will regret later.
Slowly everyone begin to go their separate ways, leaving me alone with Jake. His nose is bleeding profusely, soaking his shirt. "Come on," I say as I lead him into the bathroom, "let's get you cleaned up." Sitting on the edge of the tub he takes his shirt off. "Jake I'm sorry," I begin to apologize as I grab the first aid kit from the medicine cabinet. "Ness angel, there is no need to apologize," he says as he pulls me onto his lap. "I never want you to apologize for any moments we spend together." He says as he kisses me gently. Still the feeling still isn't there. Not wanting an encore performance of tonight events, I pull away and wish him good night.
The alarm screeches, scaring me awake. I realize that I am returning to school and Jake will be by my side all day. With that notion, I quickly get dress. Before leaving I make sure to grab my favorite locket. With a leap and a bound I am downstairs, where everyone is waiting. "You ready princess?" I nod yes to my dad question, and then just like that we rush to the garage. Just as we reach the garage door, Jake stops me. "Ness angel, you look beautiful." Like always when he compliments me, I look at me feet. Gently he tips my chin upwards and kisses me. Still the spark is missing, and I miss it. "You two cool it, before the mutt gets himself killed." Rose warns. Hand in hand we walk into the garage. "Nessie you're riding with us and Jake you're riding with Emmett." My dad commands. In a huff I drop his hand. "Ness, see you at school." Jake says as he kisses me on the cheek. Both dad and Emmett let out a loud growl.
The car ride to school is awkwardly silent. Once we park the car, I hurry out my dad's Volvo and wait for Jake. A few second later Emmett's jeep pulls into the lot. He barely has time to stop, before Jake jumps out. "Miss me angel?" He asks as he kisses me on the cheek. Taking my hand, he leads me to the school. Just as we approach the door we see Calvin standing by the entrance. My mind flashes back to the night I left. "That isn't Calvin. That is Joham. Calvin is on the reservation. He is Leah's imprint and they are very happy." Jake informed us. I stop in my tracks. "What is it Ness?" "It's Calvin." "I know, but that is Leah's Calvin." He assures me.
"Jake!" I hear a feminine voice yell. Quickly, I turn around to see Leah rushing toward us. "Leah, are you Seth and Calvin ready?" Jake ask. I just stand there looking confuse. "Yeah. Well gotta go Calvin is waiting for me." Leah says as she runs pass us. "Jake why is your pack here?" "Extra security for my sweet angel." He says as the bell rings. "Come on I don't want you to be late on your first day back." He says as he leads me to our first period. First period, like the rest of the classes passed by slowly. I just couldn't wait to get back to the sanctity of my home. Finally, the bell rang and Jake and I make a mad dash to the cars.
We were the first one at the cars. As we waited I began to grow impatient. "Ness baby what's wrong? You haven't been yourself all day." "I just have had this bad feeling that Joham is near by." "Ness, don't worry," he begins to say as he pulls me tightly to his body, "I won't let him near you." "Jake it is not me that I am worried about. I am worried about you and my family. If anyone I care about gets hurt, I will never forgive myself." I begin to cry. "I promise none of us will get hurt." "How can you promise that when you, my dad, and Leah have already been hurt by him?! Unh Jake?!" I begin to yell. "Ness baby, calm down." He says calmly. How can he be so calm with Joham is still out there. "Don't you tell me to calm down!" "Please Nessie, I'm begging you please calm down. We'll discuss this when we get home."
He pleads with me, but I am in no mood to stand hear and tell him my feelings when he doesn't want to listen. I jerk away and begin running to the woods. Just as I reach the edge, someone grabs me and I let out a blood curdling scream.
