Dawn by Lisette Kabel (books to get back into reading .TXT) 📖

outside the house. I waved bye to Elijah and walked inside with my mom. I notice the same scrunched up face she gave me a week ago. Once we walked inside, everyone awaited us, staring at Bella. She looked for Edward and gave him a nod. I looked around confused, "What's going on?" Bella smile, "Nothing sweetie, go upstairs and I will be up in a minute." Rosalie had a disgusted face on her and Alice looked anxiously around. Emmet and Jasper whispering to each other. Esme looked worried, holding on to Carlisle. Edward looked infuriated in the corner. I went upstairs to my room, jumping into the shower and changed into pjs. I looked out the window, a habit of mines, but no one was there. I sat on the bed and waited for Bella. She came strolling into the room, "How was the night?" I couldn't help but smile, I showed her the images. "Renesmee, that's wonderful." She paused, "tomorrow we will be going to Charlie's house for the holiday. Have a bag packed, ok?" I nodded. "Bella, what was happening downstairs?" She hesitated before answering, "Nothing sweetie. We will discuss it after the holiday." She smiled and closed my door behind her. I listened to the commotion downstairs, straining my hearing to get a hint but nothing. My family could be very secretive when they want to. I heard the door shut and the only scent I smelt was Bella and Edward, everyone else must have left.

Packing my bag, getting ready to go to Forks today, I looked out the window. I haven't heard or seen any one from the pack lately. I grabbed one of Alice's outfits that she bought me and stuffed it in the bag. We decided to wait till night time to go, it took a couple of hours to drive and Edward wanted to avoid the daylight traffic. "Ready?" Edward came to my room. I shook my head yes and grabbed my bags. The family promised to celebrate when we got back from Forks. We all packed our belongings in the car and headed off. I sat in the back seat, staring out the window, I wonder if Jacob will be at Forks as well. Sue Clearwater stayed with Charlie now, so I would assume Seth and Leah would be there, something I was not looking forward to. I should of taken Elijah offer and stayed behind. I heard Edward hiss, snapping a look to him, Can I have my privacy. He nodded and put up his classical music. Bella stayed silent in the car, she was still afraid to be around so many humans, let alone stay over in a house full. Everyone tried to remind her she's past her newborn stage, she will be good, but Jasper incident always got brought up. Staring into the woods, I slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

Startled, I woke up in Bella's old room, on her bed. I looked around, no one was in here with me. Sitting for a moment, I tried to pick up there scent, they were no where to be found. A note was on the bed side, 'We will be back Sweetie, Bella'. I put the note down, grabbing a few things to shower with and get ready; it was Christmas morning. Opening the door slowly, I peeked out the room, no one was there. I walked towards the bathroom, "Hey Renesmee." Sue was behind me. I turned around nervously, "Hi sue," I don't know if she likes me or not, I know her daughter doesn't. "We're all downstairs, come join us after?" "will do." I turned towards the shower. Jumping out, I looked over the outfit Alice bought me. It was a dark green, long sleeve, dress. I slipped it on, it came up above my knees, very fitted. I put on some sheer leggings and winter boots. I looked into the bag of accessories, a cute head band with a flower attached and some jewelry; I put those as well. Fixing the head band with my curls, I heard Seth and Leah. I held my breath, where's Bella. I looked over myself one more time, that's it. I grabbed my belongings, slipping them into Bella's old room and shutting the door. Walking over to the stars, I paused, a scent smacked right into me, he's here. My heart started to pace erratically, it felt like butterflies, plus nausea in my stomach. I couldn't move my feet. Charlie walked by the stairs and looked up, "Renesmee! Wow, aren't you a beauty." I smiled, forcing my legs to move down the stairs. I hugged him, "Hi Charlie, I've missed you." "Missed you too squirt, you look different every time." I laughed. Charlie knew something was up with us but he and Bella choose to keep it as a need to know basis. The voices in the kitchen came to a halt when they heard me. Charlie looked over to the kitchen and walked away. Jacob came into the door frame, staring right at me. My legs felt like buckling from under me. It's been about a week since I have seen him, let alone be in his arms. I didn't know what to do or say. He looked handsome, he actually had a shirt on, looks like he went through some effort to get ready, just like our first date. I fidgeted and bit down on my lip waiting for something, he didn't say anything. I started to walk towards the kitchen, whispering, "excuse me," avoiding all eye contact. "Renesmee?" Jacob called out to me, "Renesmee, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything, all the pain I have caused you." I stopped in my tracks, staring at the floor. Jacob reached for me and pulled me into the living room. "Renesmee," he turned my face to face his, "it's been like hell. I felt like I was loosing you everyday, I couldn't let that happen, you mean everything to me." He stared into my eyes, I couldn't help but look away, no words came to my mind but hurt. "Jacob…" I turned to him, my eyes filled with tears, "You've hurt me." His face crumbled to my words, he pulled me as close as he can, "I'm so sorry." I buried my face into his chest and let it all out. We stood there for minutes, tell I slowed down my sobbing. He pulled me away to look at me, "I will never leave you Renesmee." I nodded, trying to wipe my face. "Let's go freshen you up?" He grabbed my hands, walking up the stairs towards the bathroom. I splashed water on my face a few times, Jacob stood there watching me. "You look…just beautiful Renesmee." I looked at my swollen face and down at my outfit, "Another one of Alice's choice." "It's not the outfit," was he said. He moved over to me, pulling my face to his, staring into my eyes. My heart felt mended again. I wrapped my arms around him, I never wanted him to leave me, he was more than just a friend to me. I heard someone make a light coughing sound. Looking over it was Seth, his back facing us. Jacob growled out in a whisper, "What do you want?" Seth looked over with his childish smile, "We're waiting on you two to start eating?"

We smiled once more and followed Seth down stairs. I walked into the kitchen, I felt Sue's eyes watching me and Leah's eye rolling at my presence. I sat next to Jacob and picked out some bacon. They all dug in like vouchers, and continued on with a conversation. Charlie and Sue kept to themselves over on the counter, they really did care for each other. "Do you know where Bella and Edward is?" I whispered over to Jacob. He looked over to me, "went to do last minute shopping," smiling, he moved in kissing the side of my face. I heard Leah making a obnoxious noise under her breath. "So!," Leah interrupting the silence, "What about that other pack Jacob? Are we ever going to do anything? Not that I care, it has nothing to do with…" "Leah!" Jacob growled out at her, "Not now." She stared him down, threw her fork down and then gave me a death glare. I stared back at her, not making a movement. She shoved her chair out of the way and made her way outside. Sue stood in shock and shame, with her hand over her mouth. Seth of course stayed quite. "Sorry," Jacob said and continued eating.

Edward and Bella finally arrived. They walked through the doors, "Bella!" I jumped out my seat holding on to her. She looked over to Jacob, giving him a nod, "Nice of you to join us." "Well you know I can't miss a family tradition."

After opening all the gifts, me and Jacob left the family to sit out back on the bench. We looked into the forest, Jacob chuckled. "What? What happened?" I asked him. He chuckled more to himself, "Flashback of the times with Bella out here. I'm glad you're not as…careless as she is. I must thank Edward for that." I slapped his shoulder and he only laughed more. "Ness, I got you something." He went into his pocket, pulling out something and placing it on my neck, "you like?" I looked down at it, it was a charm of the moon. Engraved on the charm was 'Nessie and Jacob', I couldn't help but smile, "I love it." I jumped over to him, clutching him into a hug. Pulling away, "You didn't want to see Billy today." Jake looked at the time on his watch, "Ya, maybe we can go stop by for a few?" "Sure." Jacob went inside to the house, leaving me out back. I stared into the woods, this is where Bella told all her 'adventurous' stories. Her meadow was not to fair from here. I bet Edward and her would go visit. I shook off the memory of them two being alone. Jacob came back out, waving Edward's car keys, "ready."

Driving off to the reservation, to Billy's house, we drove by Sam's. We didn't see no one outside and we chose to keep driving. We spent a hour at his house, catching up with Billy. He doesn't see Jacob as much since he's always with us, with me.

"Don't be a stranger Renesmee, your part of this family." I smiled, waving bye to Billy, "I won't."
