RENESMEE
I was getting more and more excited as my aunt did my makeup. Once she had finished I slipped on my dress and put my shoes on. The shoe heel was huge. I was afraid i'd fall over as soon as I placed them on my feet. There was a knock at the door and my mom came in.
"Wow. You do realise Edward is going to have a heart attack when he sees her Alice?" My mom said. Alice smiled.
"I don't care about Edward, I just want to see Jacob's reaction," she said and grinned at me. I think I involuntarily blushed. I didn't even think about Jacob seeing me like this.
"Whatever, it's your head," my mom muttered. "Are you ready?" she asked. I nodded; she too was in a short dress and heels as big as mine. My hair was down and nothing much done to it, hers was left natural too, her loose waves hung down to her waist. I smiled at her and linked my arm with hers.
We walked into the living room followed by Alice where Eddie, Jacob, my dad and my uncles were. My dad turned to look at us the second we walked in. His eyes widened and stood up vampire speed to stand by us.
"Bella you look… amazing." He said to her softly then turned to me. "Renesmee you need to change," he said. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"No. I like this dress," I said.
"Turn around," he ordered. I did as he asked and turned my back to him. He took in a sharp breath as he saw my bare back.
"Alice!" he moaned.
"What? She looks beautiful."
"You're not the one that has to listen to every guys thoughts as they think bad things about your daughter!" he said to her. She smiled timidly.
"Well Bella is just as dressed up. Keep your attention on her, and I think you've forgotten, it's only our family and close friends. Everyone knows who she belongs to," my aunt said and looked over to Jacob. I finally pulled my attention away from my dad and looked at Jacob who was standing in the centre of the room, having just stood up from his seat. He was staring at me, gawking almost. I smiled at his face, it was priceless, even better than what he looked like on Zac's party.
"Yeah well what do you think he is thinking right now?" My dad snarled at my aunt.
"Okay Edward calm down. She's grown up. Get over it," I heard my aunt say. I was too engrossed in watching Jacob.
"I have to agree with Mr. Edward senior here. That dress is way too revealing," Eddie said standing up to side with my dad.
"Thank you," my dad said to Eddie.
"Oh come on!" My aunt moaned. "I bought it, so she's wearing it."
"I'll pay you the money you spent on it."
"Edward no! Bella help me out here!"
"I told you," was all my mom said.
"Renesmee!"
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Do you like the dress? Do you want to wear it?" My aunt asked me. I still had my eyes on Jacob but I nodded.
"There we go. Discussion over." My aunt said just as the door opened. I tore my attention from Jacob to look at who it was. Chloe walked in. It kind of took my breath away that a human could be that beautiful. Her makeup was light and her hair was naturally down. But the dress fit her perfectly; I didn't remember it being so perfect on her in the store. She had heels on but they weren't quite as high as mine.
"Wow," I heard Eddie whisper. I let out a giggle and ran –not very easily- over to her.
"You look hot!" I said to her, she grinned.
"So do you!" she said back. I turned to look at Eddie, he was staring at Chloe with such intensity it made me smile inside. When he caught Chloe look over to him he looked away. She walked over to him dragging me with him.
"Happy birthday," she said smiling.
"Err… thanks," he said almost stuttering as if he had forgotten how to speak.
"I'm sorry I didn't get you anything, I honestly didn't know what to get the guy that has everything," she laughed. He smiled back.
"That's alright. I said I didn't want any presents anyway."
"So what are you now? Like five?" she teased. I grinned and left them talking. I walked over to Jacob who still stood motionless in the centre of the room. I smiled at him and stopped in front of him.
"Hey," I said. He finally moved a little.
"Hey," he said, gaining his confidence back and smiling a cheeky grin. "Do you have any idea how hot you look?"
I giggled.
"Do you like it?" I asked spinning on the spot once so he could see my back. He gulped.
"Yeah I like it," he said.
"Why do you look so nervous?" I asked.
"I'm trying my very hardest to keep my thoughts in line," he laughed. I smiled at him, not really wanting to know what his thoughts were.
Everyone arrived within the next two hours. Everyone wished Eddie happy birthday and we were all settling. The party was being held outside. After all it was coming into the summer, and even though La Push didn't get much hotter than sixty nine degrees most days it was a reasonably warm night. The garden was decorated similar to how it was for Zac's party. There were dozens of lanterns hanging from the trees and the patio, but this time there was a dance floor in place in the middle of the yard and tables along the back of the open space. I could see dozens of plates of every type of food. My grandmother had been cooking all day. If it wasn't for her being a vampire there would have only been half of what there was, I don't think a human could have cooked that much in a day. I saw the table that was full of alcohol and my uncle Emmett already serving himself a drink.
The evening was going well, a water fight had broken out and all the wolves were trying to get the vampires wet. I sat with Chloe on the patio, laughing every time my mom dodged Jacob and the hose.
"I'm gonna get you," he said to her, she just grinned and ran in the opposite direction. She was running human speed; it was weird to watch my family like that. My mom ran straight into my dad, nearly falling over. He chuckled and caught her waist. But before she could get out of his grasp to carry on running Jacob had caught up, my dad pushed her into him smiling widely. Jacob tackled her to the floor sitting on her and sprayed the hose right in her face. She squealed as she threw her arms to guard her face.
"Jacob!" She screamed.
"Yeah?" He asked laughing hysterically.
"Get off me," she moaned when he stopped spraying the hose. He stood up and held his hand out for her to take. He pulled her onto her feet. She sighed and stumbled over to where I was sitting.
"A bit wet there mom?" I asked. She smiled at me taking a towel from the table. My grandma had brought them out when the fight broke out.
"Yeah you can thank your boyfriend for that," she muttered sitting down next to me. I looked up to see my uncle Emmett with Chantelle in his grasp; she was squirming as Seth shot her with a water gun.
"Dad put me down!" She screamed, I smiled. At least my mom wasn't the only one getting picked on. A shadow descended over me, I looked up to see who it was. Jacob was standing at my feet grinning.
"What?" I asked. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up from the patio. "No no no," I started moaning. He ignored me swinging me over his shoulder. "NO!" I screamed. "This dress was expensive!" I shouted, I was glad that I had put shorts on underneath.
"It's only water," he laughed.
"No Jake!" I screamed and tried to kick his stomach. It didn't work though, I was so small and he was just so big.
Jacob let me down and I started running back towards the house. He caught my arm and pulled me into him, allowing Jackson, one of the newer wolves to throw a bucket over my head. I scowled at him and he ran off in the opposite direction squealing like a girl. I reached up to touch my hair; it felt like I had just got out of the shower. I turned in Jacob's grasp to scowl at him too, he just laughed loudly and I could smell the alcohol on his breath. Only a second later, Seth came over and started shooting one of the guns into my back. I squealed as the cold water hit me. He ran away before I managed to reach for him. Jacob was staring at me in adoration; he leant down and kissed me, tucking my body into his chest and arm. I smiled against the kiss, unable to resist.
After that I played along. I was already wet so why not? Not long after Eddie did the same to Chloe, he ran over to her holding out his hand, she looked at him and shook her head. However he ignored it, taking her hand anyway and pulling her to her feet. She too had moaned as he brought her into the fight, immediately I sprayed her with my gun and she scowled at me before she burst out laughing. I grinned and we continued to play in the water. The yard was soaked. The grass was becoming slushy and my heels were sinking in. I placed the gun down and walked over the best I could to the patio. I took my shoes off and placed them neatly under the table. Taking a towel to dry off. I looked over to the people still having a water fight. Nearly all the men had their shirts off and all the girls had removed their high heels just as I had done and it was only five pm.
Soon after my dad interrupted everyone so we could give Eddie his presents. Most people didn't get him anything; it was out of request from Eddie. However my parents, my grandparents and my uncles and aunts had all decided to go against his wish and get him something. I had no idea what it could have been considering he literally, had everything. My dad led everyone around the side of the house to the drive way. Most of the guests lived nearby and had walked to the party. So seeing the car in the driveway, I knew who it belonged to.
"Happy birthday son," my dad said throwing a bunch of keys to Eddie. Eddie stared at my dad in complete shock. Even I was staring at my dad in complete shock… I mean I was older than him! Why didn't I have a car yet? Eddie ran over to the black Mercedes waiting there. I looked over to my dad who was walking over to me.
"September," he nodded to me. "Eddie's been fully grown for years now. Your mother and I always agreed that the year you turn seventeen was the year you will both receive your own car. I know you're the oldest, therefore you should get a car first but his birthday is before yours. Plus there have been a lot of things you got that Eddie never did."
I nodded, initially I was shocked and felt a little bit jealous but I understood. My dad was right, and the fact that in nearly four months I'd have my own had me super excited.
After the excitement over the car had died down everyone made their way back into the yard to eat. The 'adults' were all easily on their third or fourth drink and even though Eddie, Chantelle, Chloe and I were not allowed to drink, we had agreed once the others had begun losing their minds that we would sneak a few. Only it wasn't necessary. By the time we had started to eat, both my father and my Uncle Emmett had come over and offered us a drink. I think they were past caring. Chloe and I didn't like the taste of beer; Chantelle didn't like the taste of anything and just went back to drinking coca cola. However Chloe and I found that WKDs tasted just like fruit juice so we settled on having them instead. Eddie went straight to the fosters and was on his second can before Chloe and I had finished our first WKD.
We all sang happy birthday to Eddie and there was a giant cake brought out for him to blow out candles. When things had settled down a bit I was sitting on Jacob's lap. My head was feeling a little light. Chloe was dancing like a maniac with Chantelle on the dance floor and I could see Eddie watching her. I looked over to Claire who was laughing as she tried climbing up Quil's back. It suddenly gave my drunken head an idea. I leapt off Jacob's lap, almost stumbling over to my parents who were dancing. My dad was kissing my mom's neck and she was giggling. I tried to push between them. They looked down at me.
"What renis-ren-reness. What do you want?" My mom stuttered. I laughed at her, finding that she couldn't say my name entirely too hilarious.
"Can me, Eddie, Chloe and Jacob go out?" I asked.
"Where?" she asked. I looked to my dad, letting him know my idea.
"Yeah yeah you can go," my dad said pushing me a little away from them so he could pull my mom back into him.
"Yay!" I sang and ran over to Chloe who was stumbling over to the patio. "Come with me!" I sang dramatically taking her hand and dragging her over to Eddie. "Come with me" I said in a squeaky voice this time, taking his hand with my spare. I then pulled them over to Jacob. "Come come," I said kicking his shin lightly, he placed his beer down on the table next to him.
I made them follow me until we were at our destination. It was only a two minute walk, even at human speed. We were fully inside La Push now.
"Awesome!" Eddie shouted and ran over to the door of our old play area that we played on when we were little. "Ness! Where is the key?" he asked. I pulled it out of my pocket; I had snuck it when we left the house.
"Abracadabra! I have it!" I said and skipped over to him. Jacob and Chloe followed me.
"What is this place?" Chloe asked as we walked in.
"It was built for me." I said with a grin. "When I was little, Jacob and the wolves built me this. Chantelle and Eddie used to play on it too of course. They got more use out of it, as they were both younger than me at the time. Now it's an open area for all the kids in the La Push area to use. As long as they have a key. Which most of the residents do now."
"Wow. What didn't you have growing up?" she asked with a laugh.
"You," I said with a smile and took her hand, running over to the shoe stand. "Shoes off," I said as I pulled one of my heels off. Standing on one leg had my balance totally off. I fell to the ground when I yanked the shoe off. Chloe burst out laughing, unable to control herself, but as soon as she lifted her foot to pull hers off she tumbled to the floor too, and for some reason I found it the most hilarious thing all night. Eddie and Jacob made their way over to us and Jacob held both his hands out to each of us to pull us up. We both gripped his hand at the same time and he used his strength to help us on our feet. The second we were standing Jacob fell backwards, falling to the floor. All four of us erupted into laughter again. Jacob stood back up and after we all had taken our shoes off we ran over to the soft play area. I thought I would be best considering we couldn't even take our shoes off without falling over, at least if we fell over in here we wouldn't seriously damage our selves.
I had hold of the rope and was swinging from platform to platform in the centre of the structure when Chloe ran straight into me giggling like a maniac.
"There's a vampire chasing me!" she said through her giggles. I span around to see Eddie charging towards us. Both Chloe and I let out a high pitched scream as he tackled us into the ball pond two feet below us. The screams dissolved into laughter almost immediately as we crashed into the balls.
"Eddie!" Chloe screamed as he started tickling her sides. "Eddie stop!" she screamed breathlessly. I giggled and started to stand up to find my way out of the pit; however Eddie grabbed my hand and pulled me into him, tickling me.
"No!" I shouted as he pulled me back onto my back in the pit. "Edward Masen Cullen!" I gasped, still laughing.
"I'll save you! King Jacob to the rescue!" I heard from somewhere around me. I looked to see Jacob standing on the top level of the structure by the slide entrance. He sat down and pushed himself down the slide, he landed directly into the pit by us. He reached for me, placing his hands just above where Eddie was tickling me and yanked me away from Eddie and towards him. He had me safely cradled in his chest.
"Oh no you don't! She's mine," Eddie shouted making his way over to us. Only the balls were in his way and he could barely get to us. Jacob chuckled and stood up, making his way over to the steps out of the ball pit, with me still in his arms. He pulled me up into a cradle and stood at the top of the step watching Eddie crawling over to us.
"She was mine first! I was there when she was born. You weren't." Jacob said. "Nah nah nah nah nah," he sang and jumped up and down on the spot. I laughed and my head spun as Jacob bounced us up and down.
"It's fine I have this one!" Eddie said then let out an evil laugh- the stereotypical one that you hear in the movies. He turned to Chloe still in the pit and started to tickle her again.
"Oh no!" I said looking up to Jacob. "King Jacob, We have to save Princess Chloe from the evil Count Edward," I said. Jacob looked to me; he had a serious expression plastered on his face, which just made it a million times funnier.
"Oh no, it seems you are right Queen Renesmee. We must save her!" he said dramatically placing me on my feet. I giggled as we dived back into the pond to save Chloe.
