A/N: Ok, so I saw Breaking Dawn last night and I decided I wanted to write some lovely Jacob fic. Because I love him and sympathize for him. So here's the first chapter, next will hopefully be up soon. Read and leave a review and yeah! Tell me what you all think! It's kinda AU, mostly because I wanted a little bit of freedom with the two characters and what not.
Seven years flew by. Honestly, I could hardly believe how quickly it had all happened. It seemed like one second Nessie was still just a child, a girl who kept growing and expanding continually, every second of every day, and then it just… stopped. She was matured and she was perfect. We'd relocated long ago, still in Washington, but this time to a small town called La Conner. It was a short distance from Seattle, but still small enough that the Cullens could hunt and live a good distance off without rising too much suspicion. I, of course, had followed in their footsteps. They had something precious of mine, and they knew it. Seth and Leah followed as well, and I figured it was mostly because we were a pack now, and that was how it worked.
"It's the first day of school! Oh, gosh, I'm so nervous…" I watched in silence as Renesmee flicked a caramel curl over her shoulder. Seven years. I still couldn't believe it. She'd grown so much in such a short time. I could still remember when she came no higher than my knee and could take down a deer. The thought brought a slight grin to my face and she scoffed, pushing me in the shoulder as she looked back into the mirror with very concerned eyes. "Don't make fun of me," she growled, her chocolate eyes flipping back up to my face once more as if giving me a warning before looking back down at her appearance. She was always so nervous about fitting in, but she was so flawlessly perfect that it was clear to everyone she was around that she was born to stand out.
I'd been very careful with myself around Nessie as she'd matured, partially for my sake, and partially for her own. As a young girl, I'd been a babysitter and the competition; when she got a bit older I was someone who understood that parents sucked, and would ground you no matter how many times you tried and failed not to break your bed jumping on it with your wolf bestie. I was a shoulder to cry on when something upset or hurt her, and I was the helping hand when she was too proud to admit that she really did in fact need help. I was her everything, and she was my world. It was simple enough to understand, really. We couldn't survive without one another; she just didn't completely comprehend the full impact of it yet.
The first time I'd realized Nessie had reached full maturity was completely by accident. Me and Leah and Seth all shared a small house on the outskirts of their property, and it was ritual that the first place I went in the morning was to the Cullens' house for a visit. It was like torture, to be away from her for too long, and so it was always the first thing on my mental to do list. I'd walked straight into the house, expecting it to be crowded since it was a Saturday, but instead found it rather empty. Immediately my heart rate sped up, and I sprinted, taking the stairs two a time, up to Nessie's room. I should have thought to have knocked first, but it had never been an issue before. Instead I just kind of barged in, and immediately I felt my cheeks go red when I came across the sight of my Nessie wearing a dress that was completely inappropriate. I knew I should have looked away, but there was something about the way the tight material hugged her slender body got me to wondering how long her hips had curved so perfectly, and if her pale legs had always been so toned and slender.
When she caught me peeking she about slapped me. I just grinned and turned around, waiting patiently while she changed into a pair of blue jeans and a baggy sweater. "I found it in the back of Aunt Alice's closet when I was looking for my favorite jeans," she'd informed me sheepishly. Bella and Edward kept a tight leash on her, and if they'd seen her in the dress, I could only guess as to what would happen. It was understandable, though.
"I thought it looked good," I murmured, my voice husky. I cleared my throat and turned around when she told me it was all right, and I felt as if I were seeing her through new eyes. I had always figured things would happen like this, but I just assumed it would be a subtle kind of thing. Instead it was like being hit with a ton of bricks. I had always loved Nessie, but now I was in love with her, and I knew that we would be together forever and there was nothing else I wanted more out of my life. The feeling made my stomach clench slightly, and the urgency for human intimacy I hadn't felt since I'd been in love with Bella had returned and was stronger than ever.
"What were you thinking about?" Nessie cocked her head to the side and looked at me with those big, brown eyes. I just shrugged and grinned crookedly, and immediately she knew I had honestly been thinking about something, but it was something I wouldn't tell her right now. She rolled her eyes and smoothed down her blouse before sliding her feet into a pair of shoes and grabbing her brand new backpack off of the bed. "I'm ready… or as ready as I will ever be," she murmured under her breath.
I couldn't help but laugh at that, and she grabbed my hand as usual as we started down the stairs together. Even the contact between us was different now; itw as just a gesture of friendship, and we quite often held hands. But her skin against mine was like a shock of electricity that jolted through me, one that I did my best to ignore as we entered the living room where the rest of the Cullens were waiting. It was the first day of high school all over for them, and none of them looked excited, except for Nessie of course. She was about to burst with her excitement, I was positive of that. Bella had wrapped a protective arm around her daughter and I dropped her hand as Edward stood behind them. I still felt slightly out of place, stuck in a room full of six vampires and one hybrid, but nothing in the world could get me to leave Renesmee's side.
"We all know the drill. The Hales, the Cullens. Renesmee is our little sister. Jacob is the family pet," I rolled my eyes, though a coy smirk was on my lips. Edward and I might not be each other's favorite person, but we'd come to accept that we were going to be in each other's life.
"I'll get you for that one, Cullen," I informed him. At that very moment, there was the crunching of wheels on gravel, and I figured Seth and Leah had come to get me. I nodded towards the group as a whole, and placed a quick kiss on Renesmee's forehead, something that made Edward's mouth pull down into a slight frown.
"Wait, you aren't coming with us?" She asked in a small voice as she grabbed my hand.
I shook my head and hugged her close. "I'll see you at school, promise." With that I headed out the door and hopped into the front seat of Leah's jeep.
"You smell awful," was the only remark she made before we headed out on the road towards town.
