A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

Jacob took the time to tie his sweats to his ankle before he shifted and ran to Renesmee’s. The
house was quiet with only the porch and kitchen lights on. He looked through the sliding glass doors
leading into the dining room and sighed when it was empty. The room she was staying in was dark.
He could only assume she was already asleep. He laid down and licked his nose as he thought over
his excuse several times, searching for any faults. He hoped it worked and that she’d still want to
see him. With another deep sigh, he rested his head on his paws and closed his eyes.

Renesmee picked at her breakfast the next morning, still unsure what to think about the way Jacob
had left the day before. She’d talked to her aunt about it when she got home. Alice offered a few
scenarios, but nothing really sounded right to Renesmee. In the end, she just hoped she heard from
him soon and that he could give her a real explanation.
“Why so blue?” Jasper asked as he walked in to get a drink. Alice had gone to work already, and it
was just him and Renesmee.
She shrugged. “I don’t know.” She set her spoon down and pushed the bowl away before she
looked up at her uncle. “Just confused.”
Jasper nodded. “Ah, about Jake? Alice told me about that.” He wasn’t sure what to think. He knew
the chances of a reasonable explanation were decent, but he still didn’t like seeing his girl upset.
“Yeah. I just hope I hear from him soon. Is that stupid? I mean, I barely know him, he ran out, and
I’m already prepared to forgive him.” She shook her head. “It seems stupid.”
Jasper reached out and covered her hand on the table with his. “I don’t think it’s stupid. I think that
you should hear him out and make sure he’s telling the truth before you go ahead and let it go, but I
don’t think you should hold it against him if there was a legitimate reason.”
“Thanks.”
He patted her back. “Sure thing. I have a few articles I need to go through; I’ll be in my office if you
need anything, okay?”
She smiled and nodded, then tried to eat some more of her cereal. Before she could get through
three bites, there was a knock on the door. She furrowed her brow and got up. She figured it was
probably one of Jasper’s friends.
“Hi,” she said, surprised to see Jacob. Like the last time she’d seen him, he was only half dressed.
This time he didn’t even have any shoes on. “Are you okay?”
He nodded. His nerves made him jumpy, and he didn’t like it. He wanted to get this over with and
decide where they stood now. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. How are you? Are you okay?” He walked in
and closed the door behind him before he pulled her into a hug. She didn’t resist, and he could only
take it as a good sign. “Ness, I’m sorry about yesterday.” He kissed the top of her head. “I should
have explained what was going on. I remembered that I’d told my dad I’d pick up one of his
prescriptions for him.” He swallowed thickly and hoped she accepted his lie.
