Jacobs POV
It went against most of my better judgment but I wanted to check on Seth. I heard that something happened to him, and he was hurt. So I decided to suck it up and go over to Carlisle's house. Before I get to the front of the door I can smell Emmett, Jasper and Blondie. Now I'm starting to think that I should've listed to Naomi and just called.
"What do you want?" Blondie demands
"I'm not here to start anything. I just want to see Seth alright" I say defensively
"He's fine a few cracked ribs that's all" Jasper said coolly
"Yea you really shouldn't be here" Emmett said. "You know almost everyone wants to kick your ass. Especially my beautiful wife here" he said eyeing Blondie warily.
"You don't?" I said surprised
"Not really I mean I expect this kind of behavior... you know from a dog" he said
"A dog joke is that the best you can do?" I ask
"Do you really want to see the best I can do?" he asks suddenly right in front of me. The look on his face makes me take a step back.
"Emmett enough" Carlisle said. "Seth is upstairs Jacob" Carlisle tells me, even his voice is cold. So I rush upstairs and find Seth, when I find him he's lying on a bed with his ribs bandaged up.
"Hey Jake" he said surprised
"What happened?" I ask
"You know you shouldn't be here right?" he said ignoring my question.
"Yea I'm getting that impression" I said sitting carefully next to him "now answer my question" I demand.
"Ness got a little... upset and I was trying to help" he said slowly. It takes a minute for what he says to sink in.
"Renesmee did this?" I said surprised.
"She didn't mean to" he said defensively
"Why did she do this?" I ask.
"Because of whatever you said to Bella" Seth explains
I tense up immediately "Bella told her?" I said stunned.
"No, apparently Ness's ability is getting stronger. Now when she touches people she can see whatever their thinking about. At least whatever their thinking about when she touches them" he explains. "So when she hugged Bella she saw you two fighting and apparently you said something...upsetting" he said sounding a little judgmental.
"I didn't mean what I said I was just angry"
"Yea well so is Ness" he said
"Yea I am" Renesmee said, crap! I really don't want to see her right now.
"Hi Seth, I just wanted to come over and apologize. And to see if you're okay" she said
"I'm fine Ness, Carlisle says I'm healing up perfectly"
"Good, and I'm really, really sorry" she said.
"So are you going to keep sitting there like a statue hoping I can't see you? Or are you going to acknowledge that I'm here?" she says venomously.
"Uh... I'd leave you two alone but I'm not supposed to move" Seth said
"We can talk in the other room, if Jake ever unfreezes" Renesmee said. I hear her leave and go into another room, I take a deep breath and get up to follow her.
"You two had to face each other sometime Jake" Seth said trying to encourage me, at least I think that's what he's doing. When I get to the next room Renesmee stares at me almost impassively, so maybe this won't be so bad. But when she doesn't say anything for five whole minutes I know this is going to be bad.
"You wanted to talk?" I said slowly
"Yes" she said
"Well than you're doing a pretty bad job at it. considering that you're not saying anything" I said nervously
"I did want to talk to you, but now I don't really know what to say. I mean I want to yell at you for what you said to my mom. But I've been told that it's not my fight. So now I'm...I don't know" she explains.
"Yea about that I didn't really mean what I said to Bella. I was just angry" I explain.
"You didn't really mean it, means that you meant it. You just didn't mean to say it out loud" she said accusingly.
That's not true at least I don't think it is, I'd never say anything to Bella that would hurt her. She is-was my best friend, then again I was pretty mad.
"Look I think that whoever told you that it's not your fight is right. Bella and I will work out our issues or we won't. You can't make me apologize, you're not my girlfriend anymore" I tell her. Her face shifts from uncaring to hurt but only for a second.
"How long have you been waiting to use that line?" she said hostilely coloring her voice.
I sigh frustrated and run my fingers through my hair "I don't want to fight with you" I tell her.
"Good idea considering where we are" she said
"Well so much for you not being mad at me. I mean you didn't seem mad when you broke up with me" I said defensively.
"Are you serious? You're trying to be the victim here? I mean if you want to be specific yea I dumped you." She said and for some reason I flinch. "But what did you want me to do? Pretend like everything was okay?" she said her voice getting a little higher.
"You only knew because Alec told you. And he only told you because he's in love with you. You have feelings for him too and you know it" I said getting upset.
"He never said anything! He was just there every time you weren't. And of course I noticed Jake I was in love with you. You think I didn't notice?" she said her voice getting squeaky and her eyes watering.
"At first it was this strange smell. I could smell her on you. Then it was the phone calls and texts. Whenever she'd contact you all of a sudden you had somewhere else to be. There are a bunch of other examples but I doubt you want to hear them" she said.
She's right I don't want to hear, I thought I was doing a good job keeping it from her.
"As for Alec... you're right he does like me, but he didn't tell me until after we'd broken up. I didn't even realize that I might have feelings for him because I was still with you. Because I could never hurt you like that Jacob" she said.
"All I can say is sorry and I know you don't want to hear that" I said sadly.
"No I don't but if you want to try and make it up to me you could apologize to my mom" and with that she turns and leaves.
I'm not sure how to feel, I feel like a complete ass. But that little lining of freeness is still there, and that makes me feel worse. Maybe I should call Bella and apologize, it'd make both of us feel better. Not today though I don't think I can handle Bella and Renesmee in the same day. Plus I fell like Renesmee and I are....I don't know.
We're better, maybe, she seems over us, I mean she was mostly mad at me because of what I said to Bella. So maybe we're good or we're about the same. I'm a cheating jerk and she's the better person. The one thing I do know is that I've got to get my shit together.
