Chapter 27
(Renesmee's Pov.)
The last thing I remember is watching the moon come up while Jacob was holding me. My eyes crack open and I struggle to get my arms from the cage that is his arms.
I get them out and rub the sleep from my eyes. I squirm out of his grasp and make my way down stairs. Almost all my anger has faded from yesterday.
I walk into the kitchen, intending to make dinner. As I get to the living room, I see Seth asleep with his head on Leah's lap. Leah is barely awake and I smile at the sight. I continue into the kitchen.
I reach into the fridge and grab a dozen eggs. Grandma must have kept the kitchen stocked even though no one really lived here anymore. As I bend down to grab a pot, something thumps against my chest.
I glance down to see my locket around my neck. Jake must have put it on last night. I smile at how kind his heart is and continue making breakfast. Since Bella and Grandma loved cooking so much, they had taught me and now, not to sound conceited, I could probably win Master Chef.
I get the eggs started and put the bacon in a pan. I make two things of bacon because I know that being wolves, they'll eat an entire pig. I also start on pancakes. After I get the batter ready, I drag a chair to the counter and try to mix. I needed a really big bowl to mix it in, and it seems to be too big. I shrug and climb onto the counter and stir.
I hear a laugh behind me and I turn my head to see Jacob crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame. "What?" I ask defensively. He shakes his head and answers, "When you mix your entire body moves."
I stick my tongue out at him and giggle slightly. "I'm just that awesome." For a moment, I feel completely happy. I feel… whole. Like anything could happen, but it would be okay because I had him. I had my Jacob and that was all that mattered. I felt human when I was with him and I loved feeling human. Sometimes I really despised my vampire side. Like now.
I cocked my head to the side as an idea starts to form. I grin at him and he smiles back in confusion. "Why are you smiling like that?" He asks.
"Take me to Billy's house for a while, Jake. Let me live in La Push with you."
He looks at me with incredulous eyes. "You can't be serious Ness! Your family would murder me!" He exclaims. I frown at him. Why isn't he taking me seriously?
"I'm not joking, Jacob. I think that you saw from yesterday that I hate them anyway. Besides, they know that I'm making my own choices now. Unless," I pause with a frown, "You don't want me to come live with you. If you don't I totally get it though, so don't feel like you have to." I start rambling. He starts shaking his head in the middle of my sentence. "Of course I want you to come live with me Ness! It would be so amazing! But your parents left you in Rose and Emmet's care. I don't want to upset them." He stops then. "What if you only come to my house as a vacation? Or maybe stay with your Grandpa Charlie?"
I nod real slow. "That sounds great!" I exclaim. "Now, I can stay with Leah until she leaves again!"
"Well, go pack your bags miss thing." Seth says. Jacob shoots him a warning look and replies, "She should at least tell someone in her family. Her parents…"
"My parents are on Isle Esme." I growl.
"Make up your mind Nessie! Yesterday you were so adamant that they were your parents! Just decide already!" Jacob snaps. I stare at him, tears forming in my eyes.
"Oh, Ness; you know I didn't mean it like that." I shake my head and walk out of the room. I thought that he was supposed to be on my side. I guess not. "Don't follow me!" I call through my tears.
I walk for an hour before I find myself near a small, abandoned store on the outskirts of town. A strange scent is in the air and I start to get defensive. I crouch into a hunting stance and spin in a circle. The scent is vampire, but also human.
My eyes widen as a figure breaks through the tree line. A hybrid, like me.
(A/N Don't hate Jacob just yet. I'm going to be adding a plot twist here, so please don't hate me. And, as always, please review!)
