A/N: Okay, before any of you continue this chapter, please be aware that this is a Rated T Fanfiction but this chapter is way different than that.
I won't be changing the rating because this may be the one of two 'mature' scenes in this fic. Please review to tell me what you think.
Thanks to all the supporters for my story even though I don't have as many reviews, I'm glad you all at least read it.
This is another really long chapter and as I said before, I've merged than two chapters together in order to get this story going. I want to get as close as possible to the wedding.
Chapter 18: Savoring the moment
Renesmee
I was currently in my room when I heard my brother's car pull up the driveway. I smiled widely because I knew, he and Laura didn't come in at all last night and I wanted to know the deeds from none other than my best friend herself.
It wasn't only that, but I really wanted to show Laura the bridesmaid dress design my aunt had been working on since my engagement and I was sure she'd love it so much. The wedding was in less than a month away and to say whenever I got closer to it the more excited yet nervous I became.
I began trotting downstairs. My grin fell when I heard my brother stomp into the house and banging the door in process. I frowned. What was that all about?
"Jason?" I heard my mother say softly. Jason didn't answer and just carried on walking away and up the stairs passing me.
"Hey!" I called pulling his arm and he stood but not hovering. He tried shaking my hand off but I held it tight "Hey," I said gripping it. He turned around slowly to glare at me. "Why the death glare now brother?" I teased. He growled at me.
"Leave. Me. Alone" He said sternly.
"Who blew your top?" I laughed.
"Renesmee, I swear to god…" He began but trailed off. I frowned at him. Why wasn't Laura with him?
"Jason!" My mother scolded.
"Nessie let him go." My father said coming into view. I sighed and let him go. He huffed and walked away.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked. My dad was about to answer but was cut off by the doorbell. I decided to answer it and there stood Laura, looking rather sad and puffy. I frowned at my best friend.
"Hey Laur, what's up?" I asked.
"Renesmee, I need to talk to you," She said her voice breaking. I nodded as I invited her in. She stared at my dad as to say leave in a polite way. He nodded as he read her mind.
"Why don't you go up to your room, we'll be downstairs if you need us." He said dragging my mom with him. I nodded and we walked up to my room. I shut the door when and she sat on the edge of my bed.
"So Laura, tell me what's up. Firstly, why weren't you and Jason here last night, secondly, why were you walking weirdly, and last, why the hell are you two looking really…upset?" I asked not finding the right analogy. She sighed and began.
"I have something to tell you," She said. I nudged her to continue. "I-Jason and I- um…" She said talking a pause.
"You and Jason what?" I asked.
"I think we broke up" She blurted out and immediately placed her face in her hands. My eyes widened. What?
"What?" I repeated in utter shock. Did Laura just they broke up?
"I don't know Renesmee, Why can't he see how hard this is for me? But I've ruined everything! I'm stupid!" She groaned as her voice started breaking.
"Whoa Laura, start from the beginning" I said embracing her in comfort. "Nothing will ever be your fault okay, but if you tell me what happened then it'll be very helpful."
"I'm sorry but Renesmee, I'm just too afraid of losing him" She cried out. I shushed her.
"Calm down Laura and start from the beginning" I said. She sighed and began.
Laura
I began telling Renesmee the story of yesterday as I tried to remember as much vivid detail I could fathom. I was too broken to bother whoever listened to it. Eleven vampires and three hybrids to be exact and two of which are mind readers. All I cared about was Jason but I guess he doesn't feel the same about me now.
When I finally regained my voice, I began talking…
"Okay, Laur, we're leaving now," My dad called out from downstairs. My mother and father we're on their way to a Federal Bureau of Investigation, function or something like that – I had to work up how to pronounce that – tomorrow so they'll be taking a hotel for tonight. This will give me a chance to finally be alone and have no one wondering if I can't be responsible. I'll finally have freedom! But freedom isn't as soon as I hoped…
My brother Andrew was coming over to 'babysit' me for the night because my annoying dad is being so darn overprotective. I left the room and walked up to the balcony.
"We'll be back soon, be careful Laur, and keep all the door locks and…" Jerry began and I cut him with a groan an eye roll.
"Make sure you go to bed before midnight, I got it" I mimicked.
"She's eighteen sweetheart, not ten" My mother reminded him. I motioned to her like she had a point. "But that's no excuse to throw a party young lady" she eyed me. I shied away playfully. "Let's go love," She said to my father. My father sighed but nodded and they headed to the door.
"Oh, Andy's coming over don't forget, be good for your brother," My dad said popping through the door. "Don't burn the house down." I rolled my eyes.
"Bye dad" I called out and walked back into my room. My parents' can be so impossible sometimes and I'm talking mostly to my dad.
I collapsed onto my bed and grabbed the remote and switched on my TV and watched none other than Vampire diaries. I've never watched it in the same light ever since I met Renesmee's family. They're completely different from the ones that are portrayed on TV. Whilst watching the show and studying for the finals, I was texting Jason.
What are you doing?
-Jay
Just watching some Vampire diaries…xoxoxo
-Laur
I can't believe you're watching that show babe; it's stereotypical to Vampires… ;)
-Jay
I laughed lightly at the message before replying
At least they're better then sparkling people, Lol…xoxoxo
-Laura
He answered a few seconds later
:/ Watch it I laughed at the message. My phone vibrated and the ring tone I only set for Jason jingled in my ears. I stared at the caller ID and saw the picture of Jason and I kissing, I smiled at it and answered it.
"Hello?" I laughed.
"Hallo, did somebody order a pizza pie?" He's voice deep and husky as he impersonated an Italian voice. I laughed.
"I didn't order pizza" I giggled playing along.
"Special delivery!" he called out and that's when I heard the doorbell ring. I dropped my books and got downstairs and answered the door to see Jason with a fake mustache grinning at me with a pizza box.
"Margarita pizza, just the way you like it" He smiled crookedly. I just giggled and invited him in.
"You really look silly" I laughed "And what's up with you and mustaches and pizza?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I thought I'd treat my mate to a delicious meal" He smiled as he set it on the kitchen counter.
"Which I'll be eating alone" I rolled my eyes and opened the box to see one piece missing. I raised my head "Did Jacob or Seth take a bite out of this?" I asked. He's cheeks turned pink.
"Okay you got me, I haven't hunted for almost a month, and I needed something to quench my thirst" He said embarrassedly. He's eyes were a very dark brown. I laughed.
"And how was it?" I asked hopping onto the counter facing him. He made a face which just cracked me up "Yeah, I figured that" I continued my laughter.
"I mean it wasn't bad…it was just not me" He shrugged at his analogy. I snickered and pulled him by the collar and crushed my lips onto his in a deep sensual kiss. "What was that for?" He asked licking his lips as we pulled away. I just laughed.
"For being the best boyfriend ever" I smiled. He grinned back and kissed my forehead. He set me down and we began walking to the living room. We moved the table aside and lay a blanket in the middle with the food aside and sat comfortably.
We were so indulged in conversation with each other that we hardly got a chance to finish the pizza, well I couldn't. All I did was laugh and smile with him, I'm so glad I found Jason, I can feel different around him be myself. I've never loved anyone as much as I loved him. And that was saying a lot. Jason was currently holding me in his arms as we talked.
"Have the last strawberry" He said extending his hand to my mouth with the chocolate covered strawberry lingering on my lips. I shook my head. I'm full, I thought "Come on, this might very well be the best strawberry in the world but you wouldn't know cause you won't eat it" He insisted. I giggled and took a bite from the delicious strawberry. I let the sensation of the flavor dance on my tongue.
"Mmm" I hummed in delight. It was delicious. "You were right" I smiled. He smiled back but this time it was different. He's face immediately turned serious.
"So the Oxford honors program" He said the sentence I've been dreading to hear. I sighed.
"How did hear about that?" I asked, pulling slightly away from him.
"A lot of people heard about it, plus Renesmee's got a big head. But how come I wasn't one of them?" He asked
"Because I knew what you'd say" I replied.
"But Laura-" He began but I just cut him off.
"Jason, I don't really wanna talk about it okay" I hissed. He sighed and tried to protest but stopped himself with a nod. I lay my head on his chest. To say the least, I had no idea what I was going to do at this point, but I knew if I didn't take the opportunity then it'll leave my family disappointed by not fulfilling my sister's dream. But if I do take it then it'll only leave Jason heartbroken.
"Prom night" He began trying to change the subject. I chuckled.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Do you have a date?" He joked. I smiled.
"I don't know, you tell me" I said playing along.
"Do you think they'll be dancing?" He asked.
"Well I've never been to a prom where there isn't any dancing" I said slightly sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.
"I have no idea how to do that" He said softly. I chuckled.
"Well all I remember as a child was I'd always stand on my dad's toes and we'd waltz around here in the living room" I said smiling at the memory. "Come on," I said getting up from the floor and extending my hand. He shook his head.
"I don't know how to dance Laura," He said. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on, you'll love it" I insisted. He sighed and got up. I walked to the stereo in our living room and switched it on to "Touch" by Daughter and let Jason hold me. "Okay, take a breath" "don't forget to loosen up a little." I insisted as we began moving around in a sweet motion. When we got closer he seemed a little hesitant. "Don't be afraid to hold me" I instructed and stared up at him. "Keep your eyes locked to mine" I said slowly almost getting lost in his dark amber-brown eyes.
"Um…" He said.
"Take it step by step" I instructed. He seemed to get the hang of it as we got through it. I couldn't help but notice him staring at the ground, or was he staring at my chest?
"Stop it!" I laughed and pulled his chin up so he could face me. He smiled. We stared at each other with such intensity as we kept twirling. Our eyes were broken away when I tripped and feel causing both Jason and I to collapse together. Knowing Jason's vampire grace, I knew he meant for that to happen. We giggled uncontrollably until we met each other's eyes again. This time it wasn't filled with the intensity anymore. It showed love and longing.
I pulled myself up to crush my lips onto his in a strong kiss as I threaded my fingers through his hair. I smiled slightly when he kissed back and moved his hands up and down my back. He rolled over so I was on top of him and pulled away from the kiss to stare at me. He knew what I wanted.
"Laura…"
"I want you Jason, in every way mankind possible. Please" I whispered lustfully. This must've motivated him because he immediately pulled me into another strong kiss…
We continued kissing as we reached my room. Jason put his arms around me and lifted me up off the floor. I held on tight and wrapped my legs around his waist as he started walking towards the bed. Jason moved onto the bed his knees whilst still kissing him with my arms and legs tightly wrapped around him. He lowered onto the bed. As he did so we collapsed hard onto the queen sized bed. We lightly laughed.
"Are you sure your parents aren't..." he began as we broke apart from our heated kiss. I cut him off.
"They'll be gone for 36 hours, there's no way they'll be home anytime soon" I mumbled against his ice-cold lips. He just smiled and met my lips once again – where they're meant to be – in another sweet kiss.
"Let's spare half of those hours" He grinned seductively. I smiled and brought his face to my lips. I slowly ran my hands up Jason's chest, feeling the tight muscles that seemed bigger in the state we were in. He growled from pleasure and I just chuckled before grabbing the collar of his shirt and slowly started pulling the shirt off. I moved my lips to the base of his neck, and then his shoulder. "Are you sure about this?" He asked as he panted even though he didn't need to. I just nodded.
"I wanna be tied to you, in every way humanly possible" I whispered. He smirked at me and just nodded. He groaned sexily and flipped me over so I was on top. While doing so he fumbled his arm to the side and caused my glass lamp to shatter onto the ground.
We both erupted into loud giggles "Sorry," He laughed. I just giggled and crushed my lips onto his. "I'll fix it." he whispered between kisses. I felt Jason's cold hands move up my waist lifting my shirt a little, I lightly shivered at his touch. I then grabbed the hem and peeled my camisole off me and stood in just my bra and roamed my hands up and down his cold hard chest.
"I love you" He whispered to me. I stared deep into his brown-amber eyes filled with lust. He lifted his hand and stroked the back of my neck.
"I love you" I answered with the equal amount of love and he brought my face to his in a deep kiss.
As we continued our kiss, I moved my hands around to the front of his jeans and started un-buckling his belt, then unbuttoning the jeans. He maneuvered our bodies so he hovered over me and moved his arm around my back till he reached the lace of my bra. He stared at me for permission.
"I really want you to be sure about this Laura, there's no going back" He eyed me. Damn him for thinking I'm not ready, does he really wanna ruin such a perfect moment?
"I'm ready Jason, I trust you" I assured him. He smiled convinced and unclasped my bra. He stared down at my bare chest and widened his eyes. I blushed self-consciously.
"No need to be shy, you're perfect." he said to me. I smiled at him and we returned back to kissing. My legs were still tightly wrapped around his waist; he stroked my legs sensually and cupped my left breast and kneaded and nibbled on it. I moaned in complete pleasure and before I knew it his pants hand fallen and was left in his underwear.
Time flew by and we were both fully unconcealed. Our lips were still connected in a tight lock as we savored the moment. Jason looked at me for any sign of regret and found nothing as I just nodded for him to continue. Jason then contemplated and reluctantly adjusted himself and slowly pushed himself into my opening. I arched my back and put my head back and moaned involuntarily as Jason slowly kept thrusting until he was all inside. The sudden pain hit me so hard at the feeling of losing my virginity but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't amazing. Jason noticed a tear escape from my eyes.
"I'm sorry, am I hurting you?" He asked completely pained.
"No it's okay, I really love you Jason" I responded with a reassuring smile and leaned up to kiss his soft lips. Jason nodded and indulged in the kiss…
"Okay, okay you don't have to give me all the details" Renesmee said covering her eyes. I blushed embarrassedly. "Okay but you said something about him not understanding you?"
"Yeah, it all started this morning…"
The sound of birds chirping outside the deep trees and the sun shining brightly through the tinted curtains woke me up. I had the most sensation feeling. I had the most amazing dream that Jason and I really went to second base and it was the greatest experience in my life. My train of thought was pulled back as I heard a low snore.
I smiled as I saw Jason lying on my chest sleeping soundly asleep. So I guess it wasn't a dream, we really did take the next step in our relationship. I laced my fingers into his silky brown hair.
"Mmm, Good morning beautiful" I heard a whisper from my chest sleepily. I smiled.
"Hey" I greeted back. He kissed my chest then moved up to my jaw and finally my nose and lips.
"Yesterday was…" He said trailing off reminiscing the moment. I giggled giddily
"Fantastic" I ended for him. He smiled widely.
"Absolutely" He said before bringing his lips onto my lips. I smiled as I pulled away way too quickly. He frowned in confusion and fell onto his side "Morning breath" I reminded him. He rolled his eyes "I don't care" He whispered and crushed his lips again. We indulged the moment before pulling away and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Are you okay…about doing it?" He asked concernedly.
"Last night was amazing Jay, don't ruin the moment" I said kissing his chest and tracing circles. I felt him arise at my touch "Are you okay about doing it?" I repeated.
"Are you kidding, last night was the best night of my four and a half years of existence" He said. I laughed "Especially the second round" He muttered into my ear. I gasped and slapped his hard chest, but let out a giggle.
"Ness is definitely going to be on my case, I won't hear the end of it." I said in fear. Jay chuckled.
"Nah, she's just going to be jealous that here only brother had sex before her." He replied. I rolled my eyes.
"So there's a competition huh Mr. Cullen," I said raising my eyebrow. He just shrugged.
"That depends on whose better in bed," He answered nibbling on my earlobe. I gasped. He can be so inappropriate at times. I heard him chuckle against my skin. "I guess I'll have to get home soon" He said. I groaned.
"Already." I moaned staring up at him "I need to be in your arms forever and ever and ever…" I said wrapping my arms around his torso. He cut me off with a laugh.
"I think I get it" He said and I smiled in return "We have forever though" He reminded me. He meant about me being turned "Unless, unless you still want to…" He stuttered.
"I'll do anything to be with you forever." I told him.
"You don't have to do that Laura-" he argued.
"You'd do it for me wouldn't you?" I said. He didn't answer. That's what I thought. We sat in that state for almost five minutes in comfortable silence "I'm going to take a shower" I said. He moaned in frustration and I just chuckled.
"There's an engaged stressed hybrid at home probably wondering why her sexy brother didn't come home last night" I reminded him. He cussed to himself lightly and I laughed moving out of his grasp and wrapping a robe around me.
"Don't take too long Ms Mason" He said suggestively. I blushed lightly and walked into my bathroom. I realized that exact moment I left Jason I felt a strong aching hit my body. I stood by the sink with my hands on either side staring at the mirror. My hair was a complete mess. I was surprised Jason wasn't repulsed by my now physical state. I smiled as I remembered the way Jason's touch did to my blood, his lips all over me, and the way our movements went in a unique pace. I loved everything about Jason and even if I won't be seeing him for the next four years, I'll always know that he'll be waiting.
I assessed every place Jay touched, my face, my neck, my chin, my cheek, my shoulder, and my lips, my everywhere. I immediately realized a red mark on my shoulder but it was hardly noticeable actually. I guess I must've bumped my headboard a little. I laughed at my thought but was pulled away by my boyfriend standing behind me.
"Oh hey" I said staring at Jason who was now in his boxers. He looked very pained and torn as he stared at me. I frowned. "What?"
"I am so sorry Laura" He said a tear slipping from his eye. I furrowed my eyebrows more in confusion "No words can describe how bad I feel, I should've thought this through… I'm so stupid" He muttered to himself at the end. He looked angry but angry at himself.
"Jason, what's wrong?" I asked facing him now. He sat on the edge of the bathtub with his face in his hands. I walked up to him "Jason?" I asked.
"Eight years ago, when my mother and father went on their honeymoon…" He said shuddering at the thought. "Since vampires and humans don't mix, it had to leave on person in pain so…" He said not wanting to continue. I realized then what he meant.
"Jason you'll never hurt me, you never did, last night was fantastic and I wouldn't mind replaying it" I joked lightening up the mood. He released a chuckle. "It's probably how first times are" I told him but he didn't look fazed. "Come on, we're supposed to be happy, even if our hair's a mess" I teased. Jason's hair was a little messy but that only made him sexier. I moved so I was straddling him "I love you so much Jason, you're my first and hopefully my last" I smiled at him. He smiled and leaned in to kiss me.
"As I love you" He mumbled pulling away "And I want you to know that there's nothing between Jennifer and I" He assured me. Hearing her name made me tense up slightly. "There's no one else but you" He confirmed pulling away from the kiss. I smiled and nodded and moved in for another kiss, this time I let my tongue beg for entry and he obliged immediately. Our kiss deepened to the point where we both realized moans erupted from our throats. I giggled as he moved my hair aside and releasing the left side of cloth and brought his lips to my bare shoulder, and then he worked his way up to my neck and started nibbling on it.
"Oh Jason…" I moaned in pleasure. If he kept this any longer, we might as well never get to the Cullen house. So I reluctantly pulled him away from my body. He frowned "We should probably get ready before someone else notices your missing" I said apologetically. He sighed and nodded. He then sucks his tongue at me and I just leaned in to take a bite out of it. He looked off guard and probably found it sexy; I rolled my eyes.
"How about that shower" He told me as he lifted me off his lap and set me gently on the ground "I'll be waiting in your room" He told me before leaving the bathroom. I couldn't help but stare at his backside and at how firm and tight it was even concealed under his boxers. I took a deep breath before stepping into the shower.
My shower only took like ten minutes. I usually took longer but I just couldn't wait to see Jason again – I'm a love struck teen aren't I – so I got out of the shower with the towel wrapped around me. I went to my room to see Jason lying on the bed with his jeans on but was shirtless.
"Hey" I smiled and walked up to my closet. I searched through my clothes finding the suitable clothing for today. Whilst doing so, I felt cold hands wrapping around my waist and a cold breath in my ear.
"Did I tell you how sexy you look in a towel?" Jason asked seductively. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his neck as we swayed together.
"No Mr. Cullen, I don't recall hearing that being uttered from your mouth" I replied as sexily as I could. He growled under his breath. Yes!
"Can't wait until Renesmee and Jacob get married" He muttered.
"Why?" I giggled.
"So I can legally claim you as mine" He said moving my hair to the side and kissing my neck sensually. I gasped as the sudden coldness of his skin touch mine but ignored it as I moaned out his name. He pulled away quickly to grin at me. I knew he was joking about his statement because he didn't really plan on getting married, he always said that ''love isn't based on a piece of paper'. Not that I wanted too, but it would be really cool in the future.
"I think we better get ready" He said. "Before we stay another night," I giggled at how true his statement was.
"Yeah wouldn't wanna be late" I said not knowing what we'd be late for. We began inserting our clothes on. I couldn't help but watch his sexy bare body. The way he wore his jeans made his muscles flex in motion. God I couldn't wait until I was turned so I could go all vicious on that hot body…
"Hey, I was thinking…since graduation's like a week away that we should go somewhere to celebrate" He began grinning at me as he raised his eyebrow. Shoot! He read my mind!
"Um…yeah sure but about that…" I paused as I took a deep breath. "I don't think I'll be able to do that" I said sadly.
"Oh, because you're afraid of missing this 'hot body'" He laughed quoting my words. I smiled weakly.
"No, I mean, I think I want to take up the Oxford offer" I told him quickly. He replayed my words in his head. I was expecting him to be happy for me but instead he just gave me a freaking nod! "Aren't you going to say something?" I asked. He shrugged.
"There's nothing to say Laura," He said coldly. "You've always done what you've wanted in this whole relationship, so why not do it again" He added bitterly.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Oh you know exactly what I mean Laura!" He suddenly lashed out. "All this time, it's always been about you, this whole fucking relationship."
"This isn't about you Jason," I snapped back.
"Oh sure, of course it's not. It's all about Laura this, Laura that. You know what I'm done with that!"
"You're going to blame me!" I said immediately losing my voice. I sighed "This decision on leaving has been discussed from the beginning Jay, you know that!"I said. He chuckled.
"Well I didn't know from the beginning. How come Renesmee knew before me huh?" He asked.
"Jason. You never even liked me then!" I exclaimed and then sight. "You know how hard that was for me to tell you. I just didn't know how okay!" I shouted. "You knew this was going to happen."
"Not in a week!" He snapped back.
"Laura, why do you have to do this?" He asked. "Are they making you, are they forcing you?" He said shaking my a little that it kind of hurt.
"Jason. This was my choice, I didn't need anyone's approval whatsoever for this situation." I said sternly. He scoffed "I've made mistakes before, and I know you're angry but this is what I feel I should do, I need to do this"
"But consider my feelings Laur" He said more calmly now. "I'm not some little puppet you can play around with, I have feelings too! I need you with me. I don't care if you want to go to an expensive college in the UK. But I sure as hell can't stand being away from you for four fucking long years!" He exclaimed. I took everything he said to heart and thought of the most stupid yet brilliant idea.
"Come with me then," I said. He frowned in confusion. "Come with me, it's the only solution to this problem, you could take classes with me. We'll even visit…" I said ranting out my crazy ideas but he cut me off.
"Laura stop, just stop." He said scratching his head in frustration. "I can't just pack everything and go Laura. You know I have family too." He said sadly. He was right, it was a stupid idea. And so was this conversation.
"So where does this leave us then?" I asked, already dreading the answer. He sighed and shrugged.
"I don't know Laura, you tell me?" He replied. I tried to form up words but nothing came out. This hesitance caused Jason to storm out of the rooming in a blinding flash. I couldn't help but feel tears threatening to fall from my cheeks. I never dreamt of this moment but now that it has, I can't help but feel utterly broken. My limbs, my bones, my organs fail me completely. Everything about me is completely shattered. Another piece of my heart feels snatched away. Today was the day I lost Jason Cullen…
I ended the explaining from there and stared at Renesmee who looked like she was about to bawl any minute from now.
"Oh god Laura I'm so sorry" She said pulling me into a tight hug and let me cry into her chest.
"It's my entire fault! I can't take this anymore!" I cried hysterically. I never cried over something unless it's meaningful and this right here is meaningful!
"No Laura, it's not your fault. He's just in shock at how close it is, I'm telling you, he'll come around." She assured me. I didn't reply or nod my head. I just sat there.
"I'm sorry" I said pulling away from her. "I didn't want to add more pressure on you because of the marriage and all" I added.
"I don't care about the wedding at this point. I could wait another month even a millennium to get married just to make sure my best friend is okay, Jake would understand" She assured me. I smiled at my best friend.
"Yeah…I don't know how I'll recover at this point" I sighed, she gave me one sympathetic look. "I don't think he loves me anymore" I muttered very low but I'm sure with her super hearing, she heard me quite fine. She frowned.
"Laura, you know that's not true," She said gently, I gave a chuckle.
"He said it himself. He doesn't know where our relationship leads next! Doesn't exactly spell 'you're still in a relationship' to me!" I exclaimed. "This is my entire fault Renesmee and I guess I have to suffer the consequences."
"No! Laura this isn't your fault!" She disagreed. "This is my brother's entire fault, being all insecure of him but never realizing who he's hurting!" She said her voice vaporizing. I shushed her.
"Renesmee, I'm grateful for you trying to be a friend but I think this should be sorted between Jason and I, all you need to focus on is your wedding and being happy." I said with a weak smile. She was about to protest but I stopped her. "I'll be fine" I said hugging her. "Always" I whispered but was unsure of myself. She sighed and gave in.
"You know what, you're right. We don't need men to justify our life. We'll go to prom together, we'll meet all our friends and have a good time" She smiled at me.
"And we'll graduate and go shopping in Madrid with Alice" I laughed which caused her to laugh too. "I think I better head going" I declared. She nodded.
"I guess I'll see you soon?" She said, and I nodded at her as we began walking out of her room.
"Oh, don't give Jason a rough time about this. I need him to have a clear head, and for him to know that I'll always love him" I said sadly. She gave me another sympathetic look and nodded. I gave her one last hug before heading out of the house.
To be honest, I didn't really think I would have been doing all those things with Renesmee in the next week. I have nothing left here so I guess it was time for me to leave. And never return…
Jason
I couldn't believe I did that! How stupid could I have been? I lost the love of my life because of my own insecurities. I didn't mean to make Laura angry, I was just in shock with all the news I found out. Laura was leaving, this really was happening! And all I'm doing is sulking over her!
I was lying on my bed with my face in my pillows and as I said before 'sulking'. Last night, Laura and I had the best night ever! I couldn't explain the feeling it was being with Laura in a way I haven't been in a very long time, actually 'ever' to be exact.
I could hear Laura and my sister talking in the other room but I hardly paid any attention to it because I knew she would be crying and I didn't want to hear that right now. I knew I hurt her feelings by lashing out and I knew it was wrong of me but who could blame me. I have feelings too, hearing that she was leaving was the hardest thing ever!
The banging of my bedroom door drew me away from my train of thought. "Jason! Open this door!" I heard my sister shout. Ugh! Here we go!
I reluctantly got off my bed and walked to my door and opened to a very furious looking Renesmee.
"Oh hey there sister, want to speak to your little champ?" I joked. She glared at me with her breathing hitching.
"What the hell Jason!" She shouted. "How could you hurt my best friend?" She said angrily. I sighed, a lecture from my sister! All the joy!
"Renesmee, I don't want to talk about it" I said ignoring her as I walked to my desk.
"You're such a jerk you know that!" She added as she followed my tail. "How could you break her heart by breaking up with her, you knew she would leave someday" She said unpleased. I frowned and faced her. I replayed her words in my head.
"Wait what?" I asked.
"Oh you heard me little brother! You broke her heart!" she said poking my chest. I sighed.
"Wait, she thinks I broke up with her?" I asked.
"You blatantly lied to me! You promised you'd never hurt her and now here you are!" she exclaimed. Laura thought I broke up with her? Laura thought I broke up with her!
"Oh god, no, no!" I said threading my fingers through my hair. I didn't breakup with Laura! Did I? "Where is she?" I asked, pulling my jacket on. She frowned.
"She left already…Where are you going?" She asked. I didn't have time to answer and I began to walk out of the room. "Where are you going?" she asked again.
"To go get my girl back" I said heading straight for the door and leaving the house. I got into my Aston Martin Virage and drove to Laura's house. To my disappointment, it began raining and it got really misty. Considering the fact that it was still afternoon. My car began slowing down to a very slow pace and I realized then that I was running out of fumes. I cussed to myself when the car stopped. It stopped!
I sighed and got out of the car; locking it and leaving it on the side of the road as I began walking back home in the rain. I guess there wasn't any hope. I couldn't go to Laura now, I even betted she hated me…
... ...
Laura
14 June 2014. Today was the day I leave to the unknown. This day that I've always dreamed of has finally came true. Everything was so surreal to me. My parents have always wanted me to leave to Oxford University for a very long time.
Christie Mason was the cause of this all. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her, my sister. She has always dreamt of leaving to Oxford too, but couldn't because financial issues as a kid. Now that everything is sorted for me, I can relive the dream she has always wanted. What really sucked was why she wasn't here to see it.
I was currently packing my last box I needed for the move. It would be really hard letting go of my home. My entire life, I was always on the move. I never really understood why but when we finally made it here to Forks, I finally felt like I was at home.
"All done!" I exclaimed as I realized everything I needed was already in storage. My dad was there to help me pack.
"It's going to be hard. Realizing you're not going to be in my care anymore" He said sadly. I smiled at him.
"Dad…"
"I mean, I've watched you grow up as a little pumpkin but now here you are…a grown woman" He said his voice breaking lightly at the end.
"Oh don't go all crying on me now dad, I'm still your little pumpkin" I laughed, he chuckled too. "I'm just a little independant now" I joked.
"This is actually good for you. Will give you some time to get some…'distance' away from certain things" He said clearly implying to Jason. I didn't tell my dad about Jason and I's breakup because I knew he'd freak!
"Yeah, I guess" I sighed.
"Look Laur, everything will be okay. I promise" He said stroking my face. I nodded. "Come here" He said pulling me into a tight hug. I smiled in his tight embrace. We saw and heard a flicker of light coming from behind us and I looked up to see my mom taking a photo of our moment. I laughed.
"Sorry, I just had to do that" She smiled happily. I saw a small tear falling off her cheek and I knew she had that 'mom' moment that everyone talks about. I pulled her in a tight hug too.
"Mom, I'll miss you" I said against her shoulder.
"Aww Laura, I'll miss you too" She cried out. Our moment was pulled away by a car honking.
"Come on you guys, Airport in five! Let's go!" I heard my older brother, Andrew, exclaim from outside. I chuckled and pulled away from my mom and we all packed everything and left to the airport.
As we got to the Washington airport, I gasped. I was really leaving!
"Laura sister, are you okay?" My brother asked.
"Yeah, just had a surreal moment" I smiled. "I guess this is goodbye" I said to my family. My now crying mom was bawling even more.
"We'll miss you baby" My dad hugged me.
"I'll miss you too" I replied. The air attendance called out all the passengers leaving to England and I took that as the time to leave. I walked away with my suitcase and ticket. I waved my last goodbye and took a deep breath. This was it.
"Laura!" I heard the one voice only belonging to Carmen Hale. Wait Carmen! I spun around to see not only Carmen, but all the Cullen children, Diego, Cathy, Seth, Jacob and…Renesmee. I smiled and ran up to them.
"You didn't think you'd just leave without saying goodbye didn't you?" Cathy teased, I smiled at her.
"We figured you'd be the first one here." Jacob said.
"Oh you guys" I cried out as I pulled them all into a series of hugs. They chuckled. I was now faced with my best friend Renesmee.
"Oh Laura!" she exclaimed pulling me into a hug. I giggled.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be getting ready for prom?" I asked realizing that prom was only two hours away.
"I know right!" Carmen groaned, I giggled.
"Yeah, but who cares about the stupid prom, I thought I'd see my best friend before that" She smirked. I simpered at back at her.
"You guys are crazy" I laughed. "How did you even know I was leaving now?"
"Well. Our aunt is surprisingly a psychic?" Cathy shrugged. I chucked and Seth kissed the side of her face which made me frown. Wow!
"Well it was really sweet of you" I said. I realized that one person I was hoping for wasn't there. Jason.
"Have you heard from him?" I asked Renesmee who shook her head but it wasn't convincing, I let it slide anyway. I sighed.
"Today is supposed to be a good day, not a day of weeping" Carmen said. I smiled at her.
"All passengers leaving for England in 10 minutes!" I heard the flight attendant say. I sighed and turned back to them.
"I guess this is goodbye" Renesmee said sadly. I nodded.
"I'll miss you guys so much" I said.
"Don't forget to attend my wedding my loyal 'maid of honor'" Renesmee said eying me. I chuckled.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world" I said feeling the tears threatening to fall. We pulled away from our hug. "Please tell him I'll miss him too"
"Why don't you tell him yourself?" Jacob said. I frowned up at him as he stared behind me. I followed his gaze to see Jason in the middle of the crowd with a ticket in his hands. He caught me staring at him and smiled widely. I just couldn't help it; I began tearing up as I walked up to him.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" He said softly before taking a deep breath.
"There are no words to describe how terribly sorry I am Laura, I know I've been an ass lately and not supporting your decision on leaving made me the biggest ass in the world. I just really hope-" He said but I cut him off by laying my finger on his lip.
"Just shut up and hold me Jason" I said to him. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I was so glad I was in his arms again as we savored the moment.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I thought I'd say my last goodbyes to the love of my life. But I knew I couldn't stand that..." He said. I stared at the ground and saw his ticket in his hands. What did he do with a plane ticket? You took a wrong turn in leaving forks, but I'd like to take it with you"
"W-what?" I asked in shock. "Does that mean you're…?" I asked trailing off. He nodded at me.
"I thought about it and I knew how selfish I was to not support your decision. I know how you've always wanted to enroll in Oxford but I was too intransigent to accept it. I knew how important this was to you and your sister and I know she would've been so proud to stand here with you, I never met her but I'm sure she was a wonderful person. I know me being with you won't fix anything but I hope I could be there with you for these next four years…by your side" He said with such emotion. I had tears streaming off my cheeks, I was so lucky to have this man in my life.
"Jason…"
"I love you" He said. "I'll be with you no matter what"
"You know what. No" I said. He frowned, "I can't hold you here. Let you leave to somewhere you don't want to go to. And I can't go somewhere I don't want to." I cried not even making sense.
"What do you mean? Do you want to stay?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yes, it's not what I want, I can go to this ridiculously expensive school someday but for now I just want to be with you" I said. His eyes widened at what I said.
"Are you serious?" He exclaimed. I laughed and nodded and he picked me up swinging me around. "God I love you Laura" He added.
"I love you too Jason forever" I said. He set me down and we smiled at each other. "I'll stay in one condition"
"Anything" He said with a smile. I took a deep breath. This was it. The big moment.
"Marry me…"
