Hi, everybody! I know this isn't really a lot, but I am thankful for my 12 reviews! If you like this, please review! *(heck, review if you hate it, too!)* I couldn't write for a while because I was on vacation. But I am back! I do want to thank Permanent Rose for her many, many reviews. I appreciate it a lot! Alright, I'm going to get started! I would put a reminder of last chapter in italics then go to normal type the rest of the story. Lots of Love,

Maggie (aka Mein Zwielicht)

"Stop, please? I get it, you don't like me." He walked out the door to the car and didn't look back. Wow, did Alice see that last part? That wasn't good at all. I grabbed a sticky note and a pen off the table and scribbled a note before heading out to the car.

In the car, I took the crumpled note, and I handed it to Connor. He looked at me, confused. He almost looked as if he had been crying, but only just. Not sobbing, but upset, certainly. Just like I had been. I saw him unfold the note, and I waited for his response.

I waited a while, because I knew Connor was thinking. He was probably so confused, and angry, maybe. But he looked up at me eventually, with green eyes I was getting lost in. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes, but they kept falling. I knew my aunt and uncle were in the front seat, but I didn't care. They didn't matter. All that mattered to me now was the blonde sitting right next to me.

He flattened the note on his lap, and I read the words again, don't make that our last kiss, which were scribbled in my messy scrawl. He leaned into me, and kissed my cheek, just like on our first day of school. He wiped the tears from my eyes, and told me I'd be okay. It's all fine, he reassured me. Everything is fine.

"No, it's not. I still have a boyfriend, but," He didn't know how to respond.

"Well, I understand that you may have feelings for him, but I can't…do this…or be anything more than a friend…while you have a boyfriend, Ness," What he said made sense. And the way he said my name made me shiver. I agreed with him, I needed to talk to Jacob soon. Through my tears, I forced a smile at him, and leaned in on his shoulder. He kissed my curling golden locks. We sat there for a while, in silence, until my aunt said to me,

"Renesmee, hate to spoil this, but you had better collect yourself before we get to school. Five minutes!" I tried to adjust my hair right and do my mascara, but it wasn't working. Alice made us all switch seats so that Jasper was driving, and Alice was in the backseat with me. She licked her finger and wiped the mascara from off of my cheekbone. Then she rolled her eyes without warning, and cursed,

"Where is Rose when you need her?" I smiled at my aunt's very real frustration. She managed to get my hair to look 'above average, but not like it could be' and my make-up was better than 'others could hope to look.' I rolled my eyes at Connor, showing my very real frustration.

Jasper opened Alice's door, and Connor opened mine. He reached for my hand, and our fingers intertwined. I gave him my biggest smile. It felt right holding his hand, unlike Jacob. I told Connor, then, my decision.

"Connor, Jacob is coming over this weekend. I want you to come so I can talk to him…I think," I looked at him, searching his eyes. He nodded and we continued on our day.

Although I didn't realise it before, Connor and I shared Algebra. I tossed Alice a note that said, sorry, I got a better offer! And I sat down next to Connor. We spent the class whispering and giggling. I was so sorry to see it end.

My other classes passed, and it was time for lunch. Without thinking, I sat down next to my Aunt Rosie. Then, I waved my hand at Connor, who took a seat next to me. No one talked for a few minutes, and I couldn't blame Connor when he didn't eat. He was so scared. My stupid family!

"So, C-man! Was up, brotha?" All heads at our table turned to face the speaker, Emmett Cullen! I rolled my eyes and cupped my face in my hands. We were in for a long, long lunch.

"Erm…not much…E-man?" Connor answered, shaking. Everyone, with the exception of Connor, had to laugh. Even me.

"Haha, I like you, Connor!" Emmett said, reaching up for a high five. Conversation continued, and for Connor's sake, we all had to eat. I had a taco and an apple! Poor me, I thought miserably. My heart nearly stopped when my mother said,

"Renesmee, what about Jacob?" I couldn't tell just what her tone meant. However, she earned angry stares from the rest of my family.

"Well, Connor and I would like to talk to him, this weekend," I stated, then looked at the plate of meat and sour cream. (A/N that's what I like on my tacos…sour cream!!! LOL, sorry had to share)

"Oh" was all that she said.

-:-:-:-:

The rest of the week passed and before I knew it, it was Friday. He came over for breakfast each morning. And that was where we were now. My house, breakfast.

"Connor, can you come over today, about two hours after school?"

"Sure…are we talking to him then?" I rolled my eyes.

"Connor, it's not Jacob's fault, so don't say his name like he is the enemy!" Jake didn't deserve to be treated badly.

"Well, he is kind of my enemy!" I gave him a disapproving look.

"Your enemy? How could you say that?"

"Because, he wants you too! He's competition!" We were both screaming, and I felt the tears coming down my cheeks. I tried to wipe them away.

"Aw, Ness, are you crying? I'm really sorry, let's not fight. You're right. He's not my enemy." He pulled me close to him, and I cried in his arms. He kissed my forehead, and assured me it was okay. Our embrace was interrupted by my mother and father walking in.

"Time for school, guys!" We both stood up, collecting ourselves, when Alice came downstairs, furious looking.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen! Stop wearing mascara if you're going to go on a crying-fest! Got it?" She screamed that at me while she fixed my make-up.

Connor and I got into the back of my father's Volvo, and headed to school.
