True Love Never Dies
Chapter 3:
My parents had been planning there vacation for weeks now, if not months. For this reason I felt it was necessary that I 'forget' to tell them about this raging head ache that I woke up with this morning, it wasn't that bad anyway, yet. It took me hours to convince them that I was fine, even though my temperature was slightly up. What convinced my parents was the statement 'If I have mono or any stupid disease I'll call you, and Jake, Max and Renesme will already be immune if it is mono.'
Standing over my bed I was busy packing my bag, it wasn't to important that I packed everything because I didn't live to far away from one of Jacob and Renesmes houses, there other house however was just outside of forks, closer to Renesmes adoptive parents house. Putting the last pair of shorts into my bag my mum walked in wearing a summery beach dress that looked just gorgeous. This vacation that they were going on was supposed to be there honeymoon; this is because they rushed into getting married after my mum found out that she was pregnant with me. I came just after the wedding; I wasn't going to stop them from a holiday together again.
"You look almost fully packed," my mum flashed my he lop sided smile, that was lopsided thanks to her scars running down the left side of her face, shoulder and arm as she slipped on her cardigan.
"I'd believe I am," I smiles softly and put on a jumper, as it was la push it was still raining, even though it's summer.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that!" She pulled out my toilet bag as my eyes widened. "But there's no need to worry, I've packed it all for you,"
"Thanks, I almost forgot," I pulled her into a tight hug before putting the case into my bag. "Now I'm ready to go,"
How could I forget my toilet bag? Luckily enough I trusted mum and didn't even bother to open it and check that everything was inside, I could almost guarantee that she had a check list as she packed it for me. "You're Dad and I are ready when you are love," she called out, checking the time it was 4:55pm. Mum and Dad's flight left at 11 tonight, they had to be at the airport by around 7 and unfortunately for them they had at least an hour drive into forks to the airport. Picking up my bag I slipped on my jumper, well Max's jumper beside the point, and headed out towards the lounge where I could see my parents together in the kitchen. I don't think I've ever seen my mum so happy as when she is when she's with dad. The way they looked at each other almost made me sick, but yet I also thought that it was cute.
"We're only going away for a week love, but please promise us that if you feel hot or sick or anything please tell Jacob and please call us immediately, don't even bother thinking about it, just do it... Please?" My mum looked towards me and I nodded a little. I knew that originally they had planned to go away for around 2 or 3 weeks, this bothered me slightly that they where no longer going for as long as they had originally planned, but I guess if I felt better, much better, while they were away they may stay longer. I hope that's the case for my sake and for theirs.
Nodding along in agreement I picked my last bag up again and headed towards the car to put my bags in "I promise,"
"Thank you," my mum couldn't help but smile softly as I agreed. Looking towards my dad I smile a little and slide into the back seat before pulling my phone out and texting Max 'On my way(: see you soon(: ' Not long after I pushed send my parents hopped into the car and we made our way towards Jacob and Renesmes house.
As we arrived I jumped out of the car, leaving my bags in there I ran faster than ever to Max who was standing at the front door, waiting for me to arrive. While he was sick and I missed him more than anything he grew, he now stood around 6'6'', which towered over me, but I didn't mind. He also packed on a lot of mussel, which again didn't bother me because I'll be honest he looked hot. Before I had the chance to notice that he had no shirt on he spun me around in the hug.
Hearing my dad's throat clear behind me and my mother's laugh I grinned and jumped out of Max's arms to stand next to him, he just towered over me. Seeing the grin on my mum's face I couldn't help but grin myself. Looking up towards my dad I couldn't help but notice the almost disapproving look that he was giving Max. I looked up towards Max to see him looking at me, no more like steering or admiring?
Watching Jacob take my bags from dad and feeling Renesmes had on my shoulder I could feel the grin grow on my lips. Reaching forward to give mum and dad an extra tight hug both of them whispered into my ear at the same time 'remember our promise'
"Yea I know mum, dad, trust me... I'll text you every day if I have to," Looking between them they both nod approvingly. Smiling softly backs up at Max my parents and I say our farewells before they head off towards the airport.
Walking inside behind Renesme and Jacob with Max's arm around my shoulder, they lead me towards Max's bedroom and not the spare bedroom. "I'm sorry love but the spare bedrooms being painted and re decorated at the moment, but I promise when we head into the town house you'll have your own bedroom... for the mean time we've put an extra bed up in Max's room," Renesme gives me her motherly smile. Nodding a little in agreement I can't help but notice how young Renesme is looking.
"Anything is fine with me, I'm just happy to be here," I grin up at Max before they put my bags inside his room before Jacob and Renesme make their way towards the lounge.
Watching Max as he takes a seat on the edge of the bed that's in his room I walk in, closing the door behind me. "It seems like forever since I've seen you," Max comments as I move my bags into the corner before lying back next to him on his bed. He lies down next to me and watches me.
"It's only been a few days, but I did miss you," I sigh quietly but feel the small smile remain on my lips. Something has defiantly changed while he was gone, apart from his looks he seemed as if a blind man had just seen anything for the first time in his life... and the way he looked at me was different, but I honestly didn't mind it
"I missed you too," he wraps his arms around me, which he's never done in this kind of way, usually it's just in the friendship sort of manner but now it's more like what a couple would do. Feeling the smile grow on my lips I look up at him and pull myself closer to him, which as expected he grins.
"You look so beautiful today," he whispers as he kisses my forehead. Blushing a bright red but yet still not minding the difference in the way that he talks to me.
"Thank you," I smile up at him before reaching up to kiss his cheek. Watching Max's expression as he stiffens slightly I raise an eyebrow before hearing a soft knock at the door.
"It's only me," I hear Renesme say as she opens the door a little, just enough to let herself in. "Max, your dad and I are going out tonight, we're going out for dinner with Kim and Jared... which means Josh will probably be coming over, unless he's still not feeling to good... And I think Nicole is quite sick at the moment," she gives max a certain look as if he knows what's going on "so she won't be coming," turning to look up at Max as he nods towards his mum.
"Sounds fine with me," he nods a little, grinning slightly towards me as his mother leaves. Looking up at him I smile softly "Josh is still sick, I was talking to him earlier... So it's just the two of us tonight," he kisses my forehead "we'll order pizza and probably watch some movies,"
Smiling to myself at the thought of the night alone I lay back and sigh happily "sounds great to me! As long as it's no freaky movie that makes no sense..." I hear Max chuckle, looking up at him he shakes his head, obviously remembering the last movie night.
Not long after Renesme and Jacob said their goodbyes, telling us that they'd be back later that night, which meant that it was just going to be the two of us tonight.
I could feel the butterflies in my stomach already.
