Chapter 3:

The Tie Dye Bag

NPOV:

"Grandpa" I called.

"Yes Nessie" he said as he came up behind me.

I was pacing in front of the house.

"They're late" I complained.

He just laughed.

"Look there, that's your moms convertible" he said as he went back inside.

I could hardly stay still. I couldn't wait to see Jacob. I wanted to see my mom and dad and aunt Alice but I felt empty without Jacob. When they arrived, Alice and daddy gave me a big hug.

"Hey Nessie" my dad said as he hugged me.

"Hi dad" I said but let go and looked around him.

I heard him let out a deep breath.

"I'll be inside" he said as he and aunt Alice went inside.

I saw Jacob in the car but he was snoring his head off.

"Jake" my mom called to him. I saw him close his eyes tighter.

"Jake" my mom called starting to get annoyed.

He smiled but didn't open his eyes. Bad idea.

My mom got pissed real easy with Jake. She pushed him out of the car and he landed on his backside. He jumped up immediately and opened his eyes. I couldn't help laughing, he looked so disoriented.

"You are one heavy sleeper" My mom laughed as she hit his arm softly.

I bit back a growl and just kept on laughing.

"Renesmee" my dad said softly, his tone disapproving.

"Sorry" I whispered softly.

Jake ran up to me and picked me up bridal style in my arms. I couldn't hold back a giggle.

"Hi Jake" I said.

"Hi. I missed you a lot" he said.

"I know, so did I" I said.

"Come on, I want to show you something" he said as he pulled her up the stairs.

"Jacob" my dad called.

"Hmm?" he wondered.

"School starts tomorrow so we have to get you registered" he informed us.

We both whined.

"Can I please show Nessie what I want and then we can go" h pleaded.

"Yeah, please daddy" I begged using daddy instead of dad since I really wanted to see what Jacob was going to show me.

I looked at my dad and his eyes were torn. He looked at my mom.

"Okay, but don't take too long, we don't want the office to close and we have to register also" she said.

"Thanks Bells" Jacob said as we ran upstairs.

Suddenly, Alice was in front of Jacob with a bag from Nautica and looked him over with disapproving eyes.

"Change" she ordered.

I heard my dad chuckle downstairs.

"Fine" he said as he grabbed the bag and continued upstairs.

"Did you have fun shopping" I asked as he led me to my room.

"It was terrible" he said.

I just laughed. I had been on many of those trips so I knew how he felt. He started leaving the room.

"Jake, where are you going" I said sadly.

He just got here. He was leaving? Why? Did he want to be alone?

"I need to change and I think you do too unless you want to give the office a heart attack" He said laughing as he looked at my shirt.

I blushed and pushed him out. Of course. My shirt was stained with blood and it would surely give the office attendant a heart attack.

"I'll be out in a sec." I said, as I ran back inside.

I changed my shirt, socks, ponytail, and jewelry. All of them were purple so they would match. I left my jeans on and put on perfume. I ran outside but he wasn't there. I heard him in the bathroom next-door so I waited patiently.

When he came out, I gasped. He had on green striped shirt and blue jeans. He had tennis shoes on and was wearing a watch. His hair was brushed and he had on cologne.

"What is it Ness" he asked.

"Nothing" I said as I looked down and blushed. I noticed I was staring with my mouth opened. He led me back to my room.

"Now" he said as he sat me down at the frame of the bed.

This can't be good. He put his arms on either side of my face.

"What is it Nessie" he said breathing on me. I don't know why everyone thought he smelled bad, I loved his scent. All my thought got scattered. I answered automatically.

"You look beautiful . . . no, gorgeous" I said before I clamped my hand over my mouth. I can't believe I just said that. He just laughed.

"That was it" he said amused.

He took my hand off my mouth and leaned in. His lips touched mine and I wasn't there anymore.

"You look beautiful too" he said in the kiss.

I lost track of time. All I felt was my lips molding around his. I heard a growl suddenly and pulled away. I knew that growl from miles away. Jake looked at me with sad and confused eyes but I just shook my head.

"Wait here" I said as I ran to the hallway.

"I don't know when I'll get that image out of my head" I heard my dad say to everyone else.

He was actually giving the whole family a play by play on what just happened in my room. How could he! I felt my face turn red with anger. I growled at my dad through the staircase bars.

"That's what you get for eavesdropping" I yelled at him.

He was next to me in an instant.

"Did you just growl at me" he said in a steel-hard voice.

"Yes!" I yelled at his face as I ran back into my room and locked it.

I half expected him to come in but he just went back down stairs.

"I don't know what to do with her" I heard him say.

I started crying and forced myself not to listen anymore.

"Nessie!" Jacob yelled from across the room.

He ran over to me.

"Are you okay" he asked wiping my tears as he sat me on the bed.

"Yeah" I said as I forced myself to stop crying.

"What happened" he asked.

"Nothing. Just that my dad was telling everyone what we were doing and so I yelled at him and then ran away and now I feel like a terrible person" I said hanging my head and let the shame and guilt wash over me.

"Hey" he said as he cradled me in his arms. You are not a terrible person. Now, would you like to see your surprise" he asked trying to distract me. It worked.

I smiled hugely "Can I" I asked.

"Of course" he said as he let me go. He went into his room (dad won't let us share a room) and came out with a presents in his hand. It was in a purple bag with blue dots.

"Thank you Jake" I said as I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"You're welcome" he laughed when I let go.

I towed him to my bed and we both sat in the center. I sat in Jakes lap as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I opened the bag and took out all of the tissue paper. Inside, the was a card in blue paper. It had a big heart on the front. Inside, Jacob had written a note.

Nessie,

I love you more than the world and all the stars. I can't wait to start High School with you. I'll always be there for you.

Hugs and Kisses,

Jake

I had tears in my eyes by the time I finished reading the small letter.

"Really Jake! I get to go to school with you." I asked disbelieving that my dad would allow such a thing.

"Yep, I was just as surprised . . . trust me" he said.

"I love you to Jacob" I said as I snuggled closer to his chest.

He kissed my hair as he took a purple backpack out of the bags. I gasped. It was a tie dye purple bag. It had about 30 different shades of purple and a little bit of white. It was beautiful.

"Oh my gosh Jake! I love it" I said as more tears spilled over.

I turned around so I could kiss him. When I pulled away, he laughed as he wiped the tears from my eyes.

"You're not supposed to be crying" he said as he hugged me closer.

I tried to hold back the tears unsuccessfully. He just laughed at my pitiful effort. He unzipped my backpack and it had a bunch of supplies. from purple binders to rulers to pencil cases to purple paper! (If you haven't figured it out by now, my favorite color is purple) It had all the school supplies I would need for the whole year.

"The spares are under your bed" he told me.
