Sorry I was busy but this is another quite long chapter to make up for it
ENJOY~
Jacob
I walked outside beside Edward
'I know it's about me and Ness so please, just spit it out' I told him
We stopped short in front of the cottage and he turned to face me.
'You're a good man Jacob. You look after my daughter well and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone with her but you. I know how much you love and care for her but she's still so young. When she's better and you go on this vacation you've promised her I'm a little worried about what's going to happen once you get there.'
'I love her Edward. I'd never do anything she didn't want to do, you know that' I insisted. Jeez he was so overprotective and he worried way too much.
'Do you think she's ready Jacob, honestly do you?'
He was asking my opinion on whether he thought Nessie was ready for sex? Seriously? Wasn't this supposed to be, erm I dunno kinda private?
'I think Nessie knows exactly what she wants Edward. She wouldn't do something if she didn't think she was ready.'
'That's just it Jake, she thinks she's ready but I don't think she is'
'Edward I'm not going to deny Nessie anything anymore. I mean look where it gets us when I try and say no?'
'Yes. But Jacob you can't just give her everything she wants, that's not how a healthy relationship works'
'A healthy relationship works when you make compromises and you both love each other more than anything. That's all that's to it. I made her a compromise, I asked her to wait until she was at least 17.'
He breathed deeply and pinched the bridge of his nose
'I don't want you to have sex with my daughter Jacob'
'Your way too involved in your daughter's life, this is one area you don't need to involve yourself in Edward'
'Nevertheless I am and I don't want you to'
'Edward it's seriously none of your business' I snapped. Stupid controlling nosy bloodsucker.
'It is my business, it's my daughter, and she's not even seven years old'
'Oh well if you're going to count real ages then you're over a hundred and Bella's 24' I snarled sarcastically
'It's different' he insisted
'Why is it different? Because you're Edward? What makes it any different? Physically and mentally Nessie is 17 and physically and probably mentally so am I because I haven't aged a day in 7 years. We're the same age. Nothing is wrong here so why don't you back off, before you make your daughter hate you even more'
'Renesmee does not hate me' he said, his eyes pained, I guess that stung him.
'She hates how you're always controlling her life, she hates how you never let her do anything fun and she's definitely going to hate that you're trying to get involved in her private life. I know she's your daughter and I know you don't want her to grow up but she is whether you like it or not. For seven years I've put up with your controlling ways and all your bullshit Edward. I honestly can't fucking take it anymore' I walked away from him angrily but not back to the house. I couldn't be around him or any of the Cullen's right now. I needed Nessie terribly but right now I had to let off some steam. I was sick and tired of Edward controlling me. If it wasn't for Nessie I'd have probably killed him by now. For seven years he'd used Nessie against me. I don't care what anyone says he isn't good or kind he's evil. It's Bella who's the good one, the kind one, the pure one. That's where Nessie gets her beautiful nature from. The only thing that comes from him in her is that horrible ability not to feel anything and the uncanny resemblance.
I know I shouldn't be thinking these things but as hard as I try I cannot find one good thing about him. He loves to control. I remember when I was younger before Ness was born, he used to hold Bella captive at the Cullen house just so she couldn't come and see me and now he's forbidding me to have sex with the love of my life? I was beyond furious.
I phased almost immediately running through the woods fast. Running did seem to calm me down a little.
When I reached far enough away I stopped and relaxed a little. I flopped down on the ground and tried to calm down. I think a part of me knew Nessie wasn't really ready for sex. She'd been alive for six years and although she was physically old enough I didn't actually think she was mentally old enough. She hadn't seen any of the world, she hadn't talked to other girls her age about these kinds of things. She hadn't experienced anything before and she just wanted to jump right into things. I wanted her to be really truly ready; I wanted it to mean something. My head was going to explode with all of these thoughts. I was confused and I was angry, I didn't know what I was supposed to do, what the right thing was to do here. Did I listen to Edward or did I listen to Renesmee or did I do something completely unheard of and listen to myself for once? The problem was that I never did anything I wanted. It was always Nessie's choices but Edward was right, there were two people involved in a relationship and I needed to start making some of my own decisions and do what I wanted to do.
As I was pondering these jumbled up thoughts I heard my phone go off loudly from the sweatpants I had tied round my legs. I quickly phased, and dug out my phone. It was a text from Nessie.
'Where are you? You've been gone for ages, I miss you :(
I'm sorry about dad, just ignore him okay? Come back
Love you, Nessie x'
Had I really been gone that long? I checked my phone and realised I had been gone nearly two hours. When Nessie was still injured.
Why did I always fuck things up? Could I do nothing right?
I quickly phased and ran back to the house, I didn't realise how far I'd actually came in my haste to get away from Edward. I hoped he wasn't there; I had no desire to look at his face for a while. The only reason I was going back was for Nessie. God I couldn't wait until we had our own place together where I wouldn't have to look at Edward fucking Cullen everyday.
When I got there I phased back slowly and as I approached I smelled Edwards scent. Strong. Great he was there.
I breathed deeply before opening the door myself and heading inside.
'Hello Jacob, I assure you've calmed down?' Edward greeted me calmly.
I replied with a snarl. Bella was standing right next to him, her eyes narrowed, cautious.
'Edwards right Jake, you can't listen to Renesmee she's too young' she said calmly.
'I wish everyone would stop telling me what I can and cannot do' I spat before heading upstairs, not saying another word to either of them. They didn't follow me. Good.
I needed space I'd decided, I needed time away. I needed to think about myself for once. I needed to get away from the Cullen's, the nosy, all hearing Cullen's. Especially Bella and Edward but I didn't know how I was going to tell Nessie that.
When I got upstairs I went straight to the medical room but Nessie wasn't in there. I started to panic before I heard her call out 'I'm in my room.'
I headed to Edwards old room which was now Nessie's. She had two rooms, one here, one at the cottage. I preferred the one at the cottage where the rest of the family were not there.
When I went in she was in her bed sat up just as Carlisle was pulling the needle out her arm. She winced and I immediately went to her to comfort her.
'I hate needles' she whispered trying not to cry. I held her hand and wiped the single tear that had fallen away from her eyes.
I loved her so much it hurt.
'Sorry Renesmee' Carlisle said 'but it must be done, you're still very injured' he kissed her on the forehead before turning to leave and closing the door behind him.
'You left me' she said quietly, looking like she was going to cry.
'I'm sorry' I replied. I didn't know what else to say.
I took her hands in mine and looked her in the eye. 'Nessie I need to get away from here for a while' I started and I immediately felt her tense 'I need some...distance from everything, it's just becoming a bit too much'
'Distance from me?' She asked, she was shaking slightly
'No, not you. Never you, just distance from everybody else' I assured her
She closed her eyes and then she nodded. When she finally opened her eyes she looked at me
'When should we go?' She asked
I figured she'd say something like this and I really would love to go somewhere alone with Nessie like we had talked about earlier but with Edward's latest conversation and my inner thoughts I knew what would happen. I'd end up sleeping with her and then I'd probably regret it because she was still so young.
'I don't think that's a good idea Ness' I said slowly, carefully.
She broke contact with my hand and ran her fingers through her hair looking agitated.
'You said earlier we'd go away together, what the hell are you doing to me?' She got up and started pacing around the room raking her hair, breathing heavily
She turned to me and she was shaking furiously
'Are you trying to mess with my head? You say we can go away together, you say we can have sex when I'm better, now you tell me you're leaving and not taking me with you?'
She glared at me now 'how many times have I told you? STOP LISTENING TO EDWARD FUCKING CULLEN' she screeched and then she started throwing things around her room, thrashing and screaming. I immediately tried to grab her to make her stop but she pushed me away furiously.
Edward came bounding up the stairs just as I was getting up, followed by Bella
'Renesmee stop it right now' he said firmly but she just growled at him
'This is your entire fucking fault' I screamed at him 'she's right! You mess with my head all the time and then you make me mess with hers'
'Do not speak to me like that' he yelled but I just ignored him. I don't know what made me do it, I acted on impulse. My eyes frantically searched the room and I saw Nessie's credit card lying on a table.
I picked it up and put it in my pocket and stormed over to the still raging Nessie. For once I was going to take a stand. Renesmee was my imprint. She was mine. And I wasn't going to let Edward or anybody else control me anymore.
I grabbed her quickly, lifting her up and stormed down the stairs.
She was still kicking and screaming but I ignored her, keeping a firm grip on her. I stormed past the angry eyes of the Cullen's and out to where my car was parked.
None of them even said anything or made a move to try and get her. Yes that's right, stay away. She's mine.
'Put down my daughter right now Jacob or I swear to god' Edward Cullen raged following me out to the car
'You'll what?' I mocked
'Let go of me' Nessie screamed still raging
I still ignored her
'You can not take my daughter away from me' he screamed storming towards me.
I hastily put Renesmee into the car and turned to face him
'You heard her Edward, she wants to come with me'
'I DON'T CARE' he screamed
'I don't see her attempting to get out of the car' I said gesturing to where she was sat in the car. She was still and unmoving. Looking straight ahead.
'MOVE' he said pushing me out of the way, he grabbed Nessie out of the car and she screamed.
'LET GO YOUR HURTING ME' she screeched and I immediately grabbed her from Edwards grasp.
'Don't you dare hurt her' I growled at him
'Edward stop it' Bella said running over, the rest of the family now outside enjoying the show
'She's not going away with him' he said, his voice laced with venom
'Oh yes I am, I'm not going to let you tell me what to do anymore, you control freak' and she almost lunged at him, I held her back firmly before she hurt herself.
'Think about this baby, you don't really want to leave us do you? We love you so much, and you're still injured honey' Bella said lovingly
'I don't care, I'll get better.' And then her voice grew softer 'it's not forever mom, I'll be back soon' she promised
'She's not going' Edward insisted to Bella, 'for starters, she's injured and secondly she's six years old and she'll do as I say'
'I AM NOT SIX I AM SEVENTEEN' she screamed 'THE SAME AGE AS YOU'
'DON'T SHOUT AT ME' he shouted back.
If I wasn't so pissed off then I would of laughed. They were so alike it was unbelievable. Renesmee had one of the worst tempers I had ever seen just like Edward.
'Edward maybe we should just let her go' Bella whispered 'she's safe with him'
'Absolutely not' Edward screamed and yanked Nessie away from me
'At least let me speak to him' she said her voice somewhat softer.
Edward seemed reluctant but nodded and walked away to give us some privacy but still carefully watching us.
Before I could speak she backed me away into the entrance leading to the woods and kissed me hard. It was an angry kiss as she placed her hand on my face. I now knew why she was doing this. She wanted to tell me something in secret. We'd figured out if we kissed at the same time as her showing me something with her gift, Edward couldn't hear us properly. It was a secret communication and I loved it. Maybe it was another imprint thing, weird right?
She told me to meet her in this exact same place tonight at midnight and then we'd go away together. She didn't tell me how she was going to sneak out or anything else she just told me to be here.
When she pulled away gasping for air I simply nodded at her.
I kissed her one last time before getting in my car and heading home. Tonight should be eventful...
A/N I have this story all planned out now, so I now have a clear focus of where it's heading. Things will get heated between the two very soon and there's also going to be more involvement of Seth so it's gonna get pretty interesting.
