Hey guys... So again I'm late with updating... I'm really sorry. Anyway you probably don't want to hear my excuses, so you will be happy to know that I'm posting another chapter after this one :) but it will be the last :(
I don't own Twilight
Renesmee POV
"What are you all dressed up for?" dad asked as he walked into my room. I rolled my eyes.
"Like you don't know."
"Well you look nice... Almost too nice." He mumbled the last part to himself. "Are you sure you won't get cold?"
"Dad," I groaned.
"Leave her alone, Edward," mom said. "She's following your dress code so leave her be."
"Thanks mom," I said.
"You're welcome, and you look lovely," she replied.
"So when is he coming?" dad asked, annoyed. Mom cleared her throat and he sighed; weird.
"Soon..." I said, just as I heard a car driving up our drive way.
"Make sure to call us if you need anything," mom said.
"I will," I replied, giving her a kiss on the cheek before heading downstairs to greet Brad.
"I'll see you later, Nessie," Jake said, eyeing me strangely again as if I were made of China.
"See you Jake," I said, hugging him before stepping outside to join Brad in his car.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey," he mumbled.
The ride was mostly silent, but I decided not to say anything in case he was in one of his moods. We've been dating for over a month now and I've learned when he's like this to just let him mope. We got out of his car and I went over and grabbed his hand and leaned my head on his shoulder. We decided to go on a walk to simply wander the streets; but Brad has been on edge ever since we left my house.
"Brad, do you see that dog over there in the little sweater? He looks so cute," I said laughing trying to lighten the mood. I loved pointing out dogs in costumes to Jake, he always complained about how it's unnatural and not right.
"Yeah, cool," he said, not even looking at it.
"Okay, what's wrong Brad?"
"I'm fine."
"You don't seem fine..."
"I'm fine," he snapped.
"What's your problem?" I asked, now agitated.
"My problem? Are you that blind?"
"Excuse me?!"
"That Jacob guy, he's completely in love with you! And you spend all your time him."
"He's my best friend!"
"Ren, we haven't even kissed yet, every time I try you turn your head. I know you're in love with that Jacob guy, and so is he. I feel like I'm wasting my time with you."
"What?!"
"Ren, it's either me, or him."
"Brad."
"Look, I can't deal with this anymore. Just make your choice."
"Brad, don't do this," I begged him. He didn't answer me. He just stared at me expectantly. I took a shaky breath, "Jacob, it's always been and always will be Jacob. No matter what, he's always going to be in my life. I'm sorry Brad."
"Whatever. Just save it for someone who cares." With that, he walked away. I sat down on the sidewalk, shocked. How could he say something like that? Doesn't he trust me? Did this relationship mean anything to him? I don't know how long I sat there until I felt familiar warm arms wrap around me and pull me close.
"Are you okay?" I nodded, unable to speak, afraid that at any second I could start crying. "Do want me to take you home?" I shook my head. "How about we go to the beach?" I nodded. He picked me up and put me in his truck and we drove to the beach. I got out and grabbed his arms and rested my head on his shoulder as we walked towards a log along the shoreline and sat down. We didn't say anything, Jacob understood that I needed a few moments to collect my thoughts and calm down.
"Jacob, you've been my best friend since day one, you've always been there for me... The good days and the bad... Why? Why would a fully grown werewolf spend seventeen years with me?"
"Who wouldn't want to spend time with you? You're the most amazing girl I've ever met."
"Brad doesn't seem to think so."
"Hey, Brad is an asshole; do not let that jerk get to you."
"...but Aunt Rose hates you, you went through the whole Volturi thing, and you've been there all my life... Why?" he sighed.
"There's something I haven't told you... Mostly because of your parents. And I wanted to wait. Renesmee, you are the most important person in the world to me; you're... You're my imprint."
"Imprint? ...What's that?"
"Imprinting on someone is like a vampire finding its mate. A person's imprint is their everything; their whole world. They do anything for them, be anything. A friend... A lover..." We were silent for a moment. Jacob stared at me, waiting to see a reaction before speaking again. "That's what you are to me." I stayed silent for a moment.
"What are you saying, Jake?"
"I'm in love with you, Renesmee." I felt tears in my eyes and quickly wiped them away and hugged him. "I don't expect you to feel the same way... Especially after today... But I'll be here for you; I'll always be here for you no matter what."
"Thanks Jake," I mumbled in his shirt. We stayed at the beach for another while before heading home. I guess Aunt Alice knew me and Brad would break up with me today, because everyone was waiting for me. No wonder everyone seemed a bit off before I left, I should have known something was up. When I walked in the door, mom walked over and hugged me.
"Do I need to go visit Brad and have a chat with him?" dad asked, a bit agitated, as mom gripped his elbow.
"No dad I'm fine," I said.
"Okay, but we're here for you okay?" He said walking to kiss me on the head.
"Okay, but I'm fine, really," I said.
"You should have seen your mom after your dad broke up with her when she was a human," Uncle Emmett mumbled before being smacked on the head by Aunt Rose and receiving multiple glares.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" mom asked.
"Sure," I replied. We walked into the living and I saw blankets, pillows, a wide selection of chick flicks and junk food. "Guys, really, I'm fine."
"Oh come on, let's just have a lazy day, just us girls," Aunt Alice begged.
"Fine," I said sitting on the couch.
"Is there any chance I could join?" Jake asked, eyeing the food. I grinned and threw him a bag of some random candy. "On second thought, I'm a bit busy." and he left. Even though I didn't need the lazy day, it was nice. We watched a bunch of movies about some badass chicks, and none of them had men in their lives. I guess they picked out movies that wouldn't make me feel bad. I fell asleep some time later that night, and woke up to dad carrying me to bed.
"Aren't I too old to be carried to bed?" I mumbled, still half asleep.
"You're never too old," he said, kissing my head. "And I don't want you sleeping on the couch when your bed is much better for you."
"I love you dad," I mumbled.
"I love you too Renesmee," and I drifted back to sleep as I felt him put me to bed.
