Chapter Fourteen

*Renesmee's POV*

The next morning I woke up early with Jake. We didn't drink as much as the others so everyone was dead asleep. I'm sure Aidan, Seth, Bryan, and Tori would be sleeping their hangovers off. I have to say, last night I could tell Jen out of everyone had the highest tolerance to alcohol.

You see, I didn't have much tolerance to it. I was a lightweight and well, last time I drunk heavy I turned into a weepy drunk. Anyway, Jake and I had a lot of fun without drinking. There was a lot of talking between the two of us, something we haven't done in a long time. Kind of just reminiscing on memories. It was sweet.

The two of us were currently seated in front of the fire. We were trying to cook breakfast for everyone. Some nice eggs and toast.

"It's so peaceful out here," I said to him, resting my head against his shoulder. "We need to camp a lot more when we move to California."

"That would be interesting," Jake mused. "California sounds like a really cool place to go for that. I'm sure there's a ton of places we could go up north."

"If we have kids one day, we need to take them camping. It would be a good bonding experience," I teased.

"Oh hell yeah. Those kids are going to know about camping and everything else in between about surviving in the wilderness. Besides that, our firstborn will know how to take apart a car engine and put it back together in thirty minutes," Jacob declared proudly.

I laughed, "Yeah. I wonder when that'll be..."

"Not anytime soon, I presume?" Jacob mentioned, pointing out the fact we never had sex.

"No." I chuckled but then shrugged. "Though maybe after college. Once you and I had a bit of a taste of the dating life, then maybe kids. When we're married."

"Marriage...Are we going to wait until then or no..." Jacob asked slowly.

"You mean sex?" I asked, biting my lip. This was something we haven't talked about much. It's something I think both of us have been thinking about. I know I have thought about it, but with everything going on, my mind's been a little preoccupied. "I don't know...Is this something you plan out?"

"No...I mean- No. You don't. We don't have to. I'm fine with whatever. I mean, I've waited this long. I can wait until you're ready...But it doesn't have to be when we're married. I guess just let it happen when it happens," Jacob told me, shrugging. "It could be anytime. Anywhere. Just as long as we're both comfortable."

"Alright. I can deal with that," I agreed. "Because I would like to. Don't get me wrong, but I just want it to be at a good moment."

"Whenever it will be, it'll be at a good moment," Jacob announced, a small smile on his face.

"And why is that?" I asked curiously.

"Because every moment with you is a good moment," He whispered. I grinned, reaching up to kiss his lips.

"Unbelievably cheesy, but sweet," I said against his lips.

"It's true though. No matter when it is, I'll be happy because I know it'll be with you and only you," Jacob vowed, cupping my cheek gently in his warm hand.

"Good because I feel the same." We both then kissed each other once more before we heard someone starting to wake up.

"Do I smell eggs?" Lisa questioned curiously, emerging from the tent with Dylan and Carly. "That smells really good."

"I hope so. We worked on it all morning," Jacob joked, winking at me. I laughed, leaning my head against his shoulder once again.

"You two are going to be so great together in California," Lisa mused, smiling happily at us.

"Ow, my head is killing me," Bryan announced, emerging from the tent with Tori who was close behind.

"I don't ever think I tried to sleep a hangover off on a hard bumpy floor," Tori added, rubbing her back.

"That's because you two set your tent over gravel," Jacob pointed out to where bits and pieces of the rocks pointed out. "Camping 101, not a good idea."

"Well, we pitched the tent after four bottles of beer. By then, our judgement was starting to get cloudy!" Bryan retorted, sitting down. "Ak! Is there coffee?"

"Right here," I said, pulling the mugs out. "For anyone with a hangover."

"Thanks, Ness," Tori and Bryan chimed in union.

"We need some coffee over here too." Seth groaned, emerging from his area with Aidan. The two trying to keep their distance from each other.

"Aw, how's our creative story tellers and wiggle fanatics this morning?" I quipped.

Both boys scowled at me before getting their coffee and breakfast.

"Oh you should've seen them this morning," Lizzy sung, marching over with Abby. Her hair in two braided pigtails. I noticed Abby had a nice long french braid going on while Jen supported a fish tail.

"Cuddling like two little love birds," Jen sung, walking over. "If anyone heard screaming this morning, that's why."

"Did you guys braid each other's hair last night?" Lily questioned, making herself known with Ethan. The two making their way over hand in hand.

"No. This was the work of Seth and Aidan. Not bad for two drunken fools," Lizzy mused, observing her hair.

"Wow. Didn't think you two had it in ya," Lily remarked, causing Aidan and Seth to scowl once again. She just rolled her eyes in response at their ridiculousness. "Oh, don't look at me like that! Braiding is a good skill! Every man in our family knows how to braid because of yours truly!"

"Where's Grace and Masen?" I then asked, seeing we were missing the two final people from our group.

"They're in their tent still," Lizzy explained to me. "They were kind of busy last night."

"Oh god. Gross," I muttered, shaking the thought out of my head. "Sorry I asked."

"You want me to wake them? Put their hands in warm water," Aidan mentioned.

"What are we? Five?" Jacob pointed out.

"Well...I mean-"

"No, we're not," Lily cut her brother off. "So start acting like your own age."

"I mean, I'd like to put out that my age is-"

"Sixteen you moron!" She hissed, barring her eyes at him for being reckless with our secret.

"Okay. Fair and square," Aidan responded, shrinking back.

"Woo!" Masen announced, now coming out of the tent with Grace. The two of them both looked pretty disheveled, their clothes thrown on and goofy grins on theirs faces.

"Well, someone looked like they had a fun time last night." Bryan whistled.

"Shut up," Grace responded, her cheeks turning red. Masen's had a lit pink to them as he wrapped an arm around his girlfriend.

"So...I guess today's a free for all. Kayaking, hiking, you name it," Jacob announced to everyone, rubbing his hands together.

"Alright! Let's go!" Lisa exclaimed.

The rest of us all followed and began to do our own things. I spent the day hiking with Jacob, kayaking with Lisa, Lily, and Grace, cooking with Aidan and Lizzy, and a bunch of other things. This trip was really turning out to be a good idea.

"How long have we been hiking?" I giggled while walking hand in hand with Jacob down a trail.

"For awhile," Jacob replied, kissing me on the cheek.

"Should we head back?" I mused as his kisses began to be planted down my neck.

"I don't know. I'm sure they'll be fine for a bit," Jacob replied, nuzzling his nose against my skin. A shiver went down my spine at the simplicity of his touch.

I grinned in pleasure as then turned around so I was face him. Without any hesitation I reached up on my tippy toes and planted my lips on his. My hands began running through his hair as I now leaned against a tree. Jacob's hands were on my lower back. Our lips molding together. His hands were now trailing up my shirt, along my back.

"Hey guys!" We both jumped in surprise to see Aidan and Seth in the bushes.

"What are you two doing!?" I cried out, my eyes wide.

"I mean, we should be asking you the same question," Aidan retorted.

I growled, rubbing the bridge of my nose. "What do you want?"

"Well, we were trying to find where Aidan's wallet went. He lost it when we went hiking earlier with Lizzy and Abby," Seth explained.

"We found it, but then we heard you two and decided to see whatcha up to," Aidan added.

I sighed, "Anyway, we should get going. It's time to build a bonfire and start dinner."

"Oh yeah! Food!" Aidan exclaimed, running up the trail in a frenzy of excitement.

"Ah, don't you guys just love it out here?" Seth asked, wrapping his arms around Jacob and my's shoulders. "Reminds me of the great forests of Forks."

"Yeah," Jacob and I muttered unenthusiastically as we walked back to the campsite.

After some burgers and fries, curtsey of Jacob and myself- Everyone gathered around the fire. I couldn't help but giggle watching Lizzy, Masen, and Abby trying to pretend to eat the food. They each had some blood substitute hidden in their duffle bags they would have at night. I don't think they minded their burgers too much, I made them pretty rare for anyone who wanted blood.

I then reached out to place my hand on my boyfriend's warm arm. "I just want to prank those two so badly," I said to Jacob via my power, watching Aidan and Seth.

"I have an idea for that." Masen chimed in, using his power as he placed a hand on my arm. I grinned up at him before turning to my boyfriend to tell him what the plan was.

Jacob grinned mischievously when I explained what it was to him. The two of us then shared looks with Grace and Masen who were giggling away.

Later that night, when everyone was asleep we entered the tent where they were staying.

"Are you guys seriously doing this?" Jen asked quietly, giggling.

"Yes we are," Masen announced. "Now come on, I'm going to need some help here."

"Too bad Aidan isn't in on the joke. Could've used his telekinesis," Lily remarked as Ethan and her picked up the blow up mattress Aidan was sleeping on.

"Eh. This is better," Masen replied while Jake and I picked up Seth's.

"Well, have fun boys," We sung, pushing them out onto the lake.

The next morning we woke up, Seth and Aidan approached the camping site soaking wet. The mattresses under each of their arms.

"So...You two had a fun night?" I asked through giggles.

"Ha, ha, ha," Seth said sarcastically. "I'm so glad we're going home."

"Good prank though," Aidan chirped, giving us a tiny clap. "Now let's go home. So I can go into my nice hot bathtub and not have to worry about anything else."

"Deal. I kind of want to take a nice shower too," Dylan agreed.

"We should try that again sometime," I teased with Jacob. He chuckled, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

"I don't see why not." We both laughed as we loaded up the car to head home.

*Grace's POV*

"Ah...I should probably get home," I said to Masen, drying my hair off with on of his towels. We just arrived home from the city and after taking a nice shower I was beat. "My mom and I might go see a movie tonight."

"That sounds nice," Masen replied, walking over to me to kiss my lips. I grinned, placing my hands on his damp bare chest. "You know what else was nice, that shower we just took."

I laughed, playfully swatting him, "Is this what it's going to be like when we move in together?"

"I hope so," He said as the two of us swayed back and forth in each others embrace. "We're going to have a ton of fun in Boston. I think I might enroll in the second semester. Study something."

"Really?" I asked, a smile gracing my face.

Masen shrugged, "I mean do something like English or Music. I don't know, but it's not too important. Then again, you'll be at your classes and I'll need to do something while you're concentrating."

"That sounds nice though. The two of us in college," I mused, resting my head against his collarbone. "We could go to games together. Parties. Go out at night."

"I'm sure Jackson or Lucas could get us some fake IDs," Masen teased, causing me to giggle. "Go to clubs or bars."

"Yeah, right." I laughed. "I mean, I won't be against it. Could be a fun thing to do with friends we'll make up there."

"Yeah," He agreed, brushing my hair. We both then leaned in for another kiss.

"I think I should really go though. I don't wait to keep my mom waiting," I told him softly, planting another kiss on his lips.

"Of course. I'll walk you," He said, reaching over to grab a discarded t-shirt from the bed. The two of us then linked arms, my duffel bag in my other hand.

"You want me to carry it?" He asked.

"Nah. I'm good," I replied, shrugging as we went down the stairs.

"Hey guys!" Bella greeted us when we got to the bottom. Edward and her were at the kitchen island with Lizzy and Ness.

"You heading out Grace?" Renesmee asked me.

"Yep! I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to hang out with my mom for a bit," I told her.

"Alright. Sweet. See ya then!" She said, rushing over to give me a hug. I chuckled, accepting it. I don't know what I did to deserve her as a friend.

"See ya," I said as we pulled apart. "And this trip was really fun."

"It was," Renesmee agreed with a bright smile. "Now go have fun with your mom."

"Have a nice night, Grace!" Bella told me. "Tell your mom I said hi!"

"Will do," I replied, grinning at the family before heading out with my boyfriend.

The two of us then headed out into the evening air of New York. People were all bustling around, probably out to eat. It was a Sunday night. Last night before the dreaded Monday morning hustle and bustle of weekday life.

"I can't believe prom and graduation are this week," I mentioned to Masen.

Our prom was this Thursday night and then the afternoon after that would be the night we graduate. Kind of crazy that it's all coming to an end.

"Me too. I can't believe it's been only two years since we came here," Masen said to me. "Seems like yesterday we just moved to New York."

"Yeah. I can't believe it took only two years for all of this to happen," I said, our hands swinging back and forth. "I'm excited for prom. I hope Lily has fun at this one."

"She will," Masen assured me. "I personally won't let anything ruin it for her and I know Ethan will make sure it's all good. Anyway I think the school's only letting us do this because of what happened with Austin. Everyone deserves to have fun on their prom night."

"That they do," I agreed, squeezing his hand. "We're going to have so many graduation parties this weekend. Then after that, maybe you and I could go out to the island for a weekend get away. I was thinking about it. I saw this cute beach cottage for rent online. I saved some money and-"

"Grace, it's okay. My family's got it," He said. "I don't want you spending any of your money-"

"Masen, it's really not much," I insisted. "I know you guys have a lot of money and I appreciate everything you've guys paid for. I know it's not a big deal because you people are probably some of the richest in the world and yet no one knows it."

"True..."

"But this is a gift from me to you. Just this once. It's some money I saved up for something special. Anyway it's a tiny beach cottage. It's nothing," I told him.

"Alright...But I call buying food," He said. I just giggled, smacking his arm playfully.

"You know one day the two of us are going to have to find our own money somehow. I know I want to be working," I said to him.

"Oh. I didn't really put much thought into what would happen after college," Masen confessed. "I mean I have, but there's just so much to do."

"There is, but we have to think about other things too. Like do you want to get jobs? I might want to work. I don't know exactly what yet." I shrugged.

"Alright. We'll think of something," Masen agreed. "We have the next four years to decide our next move. Personally, I like the idea of getting jobs. I don't exactly want to be a high school student for the rest of my life or any student for that matter."

"I can imagine it's tedious," I said.

He nodded, "I saw how my aunts, uncles, and father are. They got so bored of it. When we came into their lives, we were such a big change. Sure, they're in college now but at the same time they're all parents. They spent over fifty years as high school students. It must've been cool watching the times change, but at the same time it's boring. Taking the same classes and having a bunch of people lust after you."

"Well our life will be interesting. I can promise you that," I declared, winking at him as we approached my apartment door.

He chuckled, pressing his lips to mine. "There's a reason I love you."

"I love you too," I said, kissing his lips back.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow or just call me," Masen told me, kissing my lips again.

Just as he was about to leave, I heard someone's voice raise. I don't know who, but someone else was in my apartment. "Does your mom have someone over?" Masen asked me curiously.

"She wasn't supposed to," I said, frowning. "Stay here for a moment."

"Alright," He responded as I opened the door up.

When the door swung open I saw an interesting scene. My aunt Ava was there with my uncle Zach. Lexie was seated on the couch with Cordelia and Robert. Lucia and Tommy were in a play pen together. I then turn my head to where my mother was rubbing her temples. Right next to my mom was a woman.

She had faded blonde hair. Striking blue eyes and there was kind of an anger in them.

"Grace! You're back!" my mom cried out with wide eyes, noticing I was standing in the doorway with my boyfriend. "And you're with Masen..."

"Hi?" Masen questioned, waving at everyone with uncertainty.

"Truly, Elaine. I am disappointed in you," the new guest scolded.

"What's going on?" Masen asked me slowly.

I sighed, approaching our guest. "Hi, Nonna. Long time no see."

"Grace," my grandmother spoke my name. "I see there's something you need to tell me about."

"That there is," I mumbled, grabbing tightly to Masen's hand. "That there is."
