Surviving Seventeen

The sequel to Sweet Sixteen. Please read that first otherwise you will be confused. I was surprised by the reviews I got for Sweet Sixteen so I just had to carry on with it XD

All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenie Meyer. I only made the story line :)

Chapter Twenty-Three – Freedom And Fights

"Jake leave now!" Alice growled as Jake kept his hands intertwined with mine. His other arm wound tightly around my waist pushing me close against his large frame.

"Make me." He taunted and Alice's fist clenched and unclenched as her eyes darkened.

"Yes Renesmee, let go of Jake so that he can come with us." Dad smiled as he stepped into the room. Emmett and Jasper flanked him followed at last by Carlisle. Emmett wore a cheeky smile, which made me feel rather nervous and worried for Jake's safety.

They had better look after my fiancé!

The wedding was tomorrow, that's not enough time to heal broken bones even if he is a fast healer.

"Jake." I sighed; he turned to look at me. "I think you should leave now." Alice had a triumphant smile on her lips as Jake released my hand.

"I'll miss you." He whispered in my ear and I kissed his cheek. I would miss him too – too much.

"See you at the altar." I smiled and he smiled back, twenty-four hours away from Jake that smile were only going to be made bearable by the thought of being tied to him forever.

In matrimony.

His hand came up to caress my cheek but before it touched, Jake's hand flew back.

"Ouch!" he cried shaking his hand. Lying on the floor was an bits of an orange and a rather smug Jasper.

"Come along doggie." He said as he grabbed Jake by the collar and dragged him towards the door. Jake gave me a final smile before each male in our household disappeared out of the front door.

I let out a sigh and Rosalie came to my side.

"Let's get you into that dress sweetie so that we can see if any final adjustments need to be made." She cooed pushing my hair behind my ear.

Rosalie guided me through the house and into Esme's new sewing room. Set in the middle stood a mannequin wearing my wedding dress.

I cocked my head to the side and smiled.

It was even more beautiful.

"We still have another 12,356 beads to sew on." Alice said as she took in my expression.

"That's a lot of beads." I said eyes wide returning upright, Esme popped out from behind the dress.

"Not to a vampire." She laughed, there was white cotton hanging out off her mouth and she wore a bracelet with plenty of pins in.

"Come on Nessie, get in it then." Alice tutted. I rolled my eyes and slipped off my clothes ready to climb in.

"You look amazing." Mom choked out pulling the skirt out. I smoothed it down with my hand staring at the beautiful ring that seemed to shine brighter every time I looked at it.

"I don't think I've ever seen a prettier bride." Rosalie sighed as she took a step back. I peered at myself in the mirror. They had all done a marvellous job on my wedding dress, the tightly fitted bodice had a heart shaped neckline and was detailed with thousands and thousands of crystal beads, with a detailed drapery cris-crossed across the back and tied into a bow at the bottom. The bottom on the bodice poofed out princess like with layers and layers of satin and mesh. I had to admit, it fitted perfectly and I felt beautiful in it.

The doorbell rang.

"That's Claire and Kate will be here in fifteen minutes." Alice smiled. Mom left to answer the door and I swallowed hard, I was suddenly very nervous.

"When are the guests arriving?" I asked Esme trying to shake off my nerves.

"Not long before the wedding, Zafrina and the other amazons are arriving early morning because they've missed you and want to spend some time with you before the wedding." Esme smiled and I returned. There were a lot of vampires coming to the wedding but also a lot of werewolves.

Arch enemies.

Territorial disputes are such a drag.

"Wow, girls you are genius'." Claire cried as she entered the room, she carried two large shopping bags which were now spilt of the floor.

"Claire I need to do your final fitting." Alice said and with that she disappeared to fetch Claire's dress. My four bridesmaids; Rosalie, Alice, Kate and Claire were going to be dressed in lilac dresses with similar beading and the same cris-crossed back, The dresses ended just below the knee. They were beautiful too.

"Are they the shoes?" I asked pointing to the five shoeboxes that had spilled out of the bags.

"Yeah, I finished dipping and sewing last night, they've been drying all day." Claire said bending down. Claire had dyed the shoes lilac to match my bridesmaid's dresses while she had sewn extra beads and butterflies onto my own shoes.

I was surrounded by truly talented people.

"All finished." Esme announced and at that moment Kate entered.

"Hey girls." She smiled as she stared at my dress.

"Esme you really have out done yourself." She said gobsmacked. Esme laughed.

"Alice and Rosalie helped, Claire did the shoes." Claire blushed at the mention of her name and Kate focused a smile in her direction.

"Girls I think you should get into your dresses while I get this open." Mom said, I noticed she waved a bottle in her hands.

"Uh, Dad?" I stuttered out.

"Geez Renesmee, this is your wedding night – well the eve of your wedding we have to celebrate. What Daddy doesn't know can't hurt him right?" Mom teased and I laughed.

"Great now that's settled let me go and find a corkscrew."

"Rose, if your husband's plans get any more solid I will have to kill him." Alice growled suddenly as she tried to thread a needle.

"Alice, you have my permission."

Jake's POV

"I think we should go to Lou's place." Emmett announced as we drove out of town. My last night of freedom before getting married spending it with the wolf pack and the Cullen's.

This was going to be interesting.

"Err, Emmett? Isn't that a strip club?" I said clearing my throat.

"Yeah." Embry laughed and then he high fived Quil. I slipped down the seat and rested my elbow on the door.

"Let's just go to a bar first." Edward laughed and I smiled. Emmett wouldn't let me off that easily.

"Sure, let's go to a bar." Emmett smiled.

"Great." Jasper smiled.

"For now." Emmett continued with a scarily wide smile, Edward chuckled.

"Care to share Pops?" I teased and he glared at me.

"Shut it, or I will chuck you out of this car Jake." He retaliated.

The rest of the car journey was just mumbled voices as I closed my eyes.

Tonight was going to be a long night.

"Beers?" Jasper asked everyone as we sat at the bar, every nodded and Jasper ordered.

"Beers all round please."

"I can't believe your getting married dude." Embry said sitting beside me, Quil swigged his beer.

"Yes, can't wait." I replied and Embry looked at Quil.

"It's really the honeymoon your looking forward too, don't lie Jacob." Quil teased and Edward growled.

"Edward, ignore them." I said but Edward didn't take his eyes of the table in the corner.

"Newton's getting on my nerves." He hissed. "And his little buddy."

"Not only did the first generation bother you but the second too?" Emmett laughed. I eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Dad said that Renesmee's Mom was beautiful."

"Which one is Renesmee? That hot blonde?"

"No, the bronzed haired one."

"Yeah, she's fine."

"Better than half them girls down at Lou's."

"And Andy's I think Chris, when are you making your move."

"I don't know but I don't think I can wait any longer..."

My fist closed around the bottle and I stood up enraged. I ran over to their table.

"Chris?" I asked the blonde. He'd been Nessie's friend and the whole time he was planning on making a move!

"Oh, hey Jake."

Smash.

My beer bottle smashed around his head.

"What the hell are you doing lunatic!!" his friend shouted and Edward stood behind me.

"Jake, leave him."

I turned around my hand making fists, clenching and unclenching repetitively.

"Jerk." Chris muttered and I turned around landing a punch straight into his gut sending him flying across the table.

"Leave my fiancée alone." I hissed as I stood over him, his mouth was cut and his arms. I turned around to see the bloodsuckers had left the room.

That's right they didn't want to reveal themselves but I would mind them eating him for me.

"I wouldn't fight you Jake because Nessie would see that I'm the better man." He breathed out. I punched him again before I was dragged out by the police.

"See you at the wedding Jake."
