After Breaking Dawn

Revelations

Jake POV

I woke up Renesmee by kissing her lips, I had to sleep downstairs on Jasper and Alices level because we didn't want to look suspicious. I hated leaving the three boys that were in love with my girl alone on the same floor. She woke up and kissed me back. The other boys were still asleep. I was exhausted but needed my Nessie. She could tell I was tired. She got up and we took a shower together. She dryed her hair and put on a some white shorts and a black tank top with a jean jacket. She threw on some white wedges. She lovedddd wedges. She kissed me on my jawline. She knew it drove me crazy. "Get some sleep love. I'll make some breakfast. You can wake up and eat it. She said as she gently pushed me on the bed. I fell onto it easily and fell asleep right away. Her sweet scent was still all over the pillows.

Renesmee POV

I put Jake to sleep and started some breakfast for the boys. Pancakes, waffles, toast, bacon, eggs, sausage, and another fruit salad. I figured I would eat the fruit. I was really trying to lose some weight for cheer. I finished the last batch of everything and put it all on the table. I did all the dishes I could and as soon as I finished the last dish, Nate yawned and came out of the guest room. "Morning Nate" I say sweetly. His eyes went from the table to me back to the table and then set on me. "You MADE this?" He asked surprised. "Well yes." I say modestly. "Yup. Definately getting married." he replied laughing. Ben came out next and had pretty much the same response. Then came Andrew a few minutes later. He looked at the table and ran and hugged me. "I love you Renesmee" he said, looking at the food. "Well dig in you guys. I'll go get Jake." I say nicely. I went to our room and Jake was stirring. I jumped on the bed and attacked him in kisses. He laughed and kissed me back, rolling on top of me. Nate started laughing. Jake stopped and got off me and the bed then picked me up in his arms, bridal style. Nate was angled perfectly to see how I woke him. Jake carried me out and started making a plate that looked pretty small for him. Ohh it was for me. I took it from him and added about triple everything. He frowned. "That was for you love" He said, a little hurt. "I'm just eating the fruit honey" I say as nicely as possible. He suddenly looked kinda angry. "We will talk about with later" he thinks sternly. I ate two cubes of watermelon. I felt full. I decided to go and work out. I changed into some white spandex and threw on a black sports bra. I worked out for two hours while Jake and his boys played video games. Jake's thoughts revolved around me and how he thought I had an eating disorder. I didn't. I just wanted to be small for cheer. I was 118 pounds, I lost 7 pounds already. I have been trying for two weeks, only recently have I taken to a diet. After two and a half hours of an intense workout, I went and cleaned all the dishes. I started some grilled chicken for lunch with a Caesar salad and some mashed potatoes. I had the salad and potatoes done and the chicken cooking when the boys lingered out. "Something smells awesome" Nate and Ben exclaimed. "Chicken, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad for lunch." I say motherly. "So I was thinking our wedding should be on a weekend. Maybe after graduation?" Nate asked sarcastically. Jake tensed up and walked to my side. I gave him a reassuring kiss. He smiled my favorite smile. I read in Andrews mind that he wanted to talk to me alone. I tell Jake through my gift. "Babe can you check on the chicken. It's cooking on the balcony." I asked sweetly. "Of course love" he responded nicely. He left to go check on it. "Hey Ness" Andrew called. "Yeah?" I answer politely. "Why... Nevermind." He trails off. "You can tell me anything Andrew, but you don't have to if you don't want to." I say with a reassuring smile. He takes a deep breathe and looks at the others to go away. They catch the hint and go "help Jake" on the balcony. Andrew takes a few steps toward me so there is only about two feet between us. "Why do you think I don't have a girlfriend?" he asked, slightly embarassed. "Andrew. I haven't known you for vey long, but you seem like great guy." I said, he sighed. "But. I know that's not what you want to hear. You want want me to tell you something that you can work on rather than hearing how great you are. I know your thinking, well if I'm so great why don't I have a girlfriend. Cause I would be thinking the exact same thing." I continued. He perked up. "Andrew. This may sound oxymoronic, but if you want a girlfriend, you can't look for one. Weird? Right? I know. But its true. The second you stop looking, is the second you'll find your soulmate. I love my Jake with everything and we never looked for each other. It just happened, if you wanna know a secret, Jake thought he was going to HATE me before we met, but we just kinda fell in love. You can't find love. It finds you." I say as I gaze at Jake's perfect tan muscles and his brilliant smile. He catches my eye and smiles wide. I blush, embarassed. "I want that. I want exactly that." Andrew says earnestly. "You want what?" I ask confused. "Ness. You were staring at Jake when you were talking about love. I want someone who will look at me with the same loving eyes you look at Jake. You guys can't help but smile when you're around each other. I can't even make fun of Jake for being whipped because I would be too! You guys are so in sync. So in love. I have slept with my fair share of amount of girls, its not that I'm over sleeping around, but I just want a girl I can count on. A girl I can wake up and love everyday. A girl to live for. Like you and Jake." he says, a little lost in his own thoughts. "Andrew. You will find that girl. You're a Senior in high school. Don't worry about it now." I tell him nicely as I give him a sisterly hug. Jake smiles at my sweetness. "She is always making people feel better. Thats my girl." he thought. I let go of Andrew but he clings. I think I hear him.... crying..? The hell? "Ness. I've never told anyone this, but I was abused as a kid. I originally started football as an excuse for the bruises. I'm not telling you to feel sorry for me. I don't want pity. Renesmee, I have never wanted to be loved more than I do now. I see how sweet and caring you are. You have shown me that sweet people are in the world. Ness. I just wanna feel loved." he breaks at the last word. Thank God I'm super strong because he went dead weight on my little shoulders. He sobbed. "Andrew my dear, you are loved. As far as I'm concerned, you're family. You are my brother. If you ever need anything. I will hunt you down and find you and help you. Ya hear?" I add as I pulled him upright, smiling. His thoughts matched his words to a tee. Including memories of some of the bruises. They were awful. He once had a bruise in the size of a handprint. Poor little baby. "Thank you Ness" he chokes out. "Anytime sweetie. If you wanna stay a few more days. We would love to have you." I saw sisterly. "I don't want to impose. But thank you." he says politely. "It's not imposing if I ask." I say with a reassuring smile. "Thank you. For everything Renesmee. You have restored my faith in humanity." he says so sweet it made me cry. Jake came running and hugged me and held me close. "Babe! What's wrong!? Everything's okay! I'm here honey" he says, soothing me. I show him what just happened and he sighs, relieved. "I'm fine babe" I say as I kiss his lips tenderly. I pull Andrew into our hug. "Ness" he giggles. "Don't ruin my family moment" I snap sarcastically. "Whatever you say. Sis." he adds with a wink. Nate and Ben come in, looking a little confused. "Can I get a hug from Renesmee?" Nate asked, a little jealous. I giggled. Jake tensed up. I kissed his jawline and he practically melted. I laid my head in his chest and listened to his heart. "Ayy Ben. The chickens done. Wanna bring it in bro?" Jake asks nicely. Ben nods his head yes. "Ness. Can we talk babe?" Jake asked me. Oh dear. He wanted to talk to me about my nonexistant eating disorder. This should be good. We walk into our room. I make the bed and put the dirty clothes in the hamper. As soon as I'm finished tidying up, he picks me up and sits on the bed. "Babe. I just made this!" I complain. "Sorry love. But. Well baby you know I love you and care about your health and well being more than anything" he starts. I cut him off and turn so I had my legs wrapped around him and was face to face. "I do not have an eating disorder. I know you care about me because it's almost as much as I care about you. I just wanna lose like eight more pounds for cheer. I wanna make sure I stay little." I say honestly. He pulls me off his lap. He has never done that... He gets up and I can see he is starting to tear up. He walks to the bathroom. I follow him, he turns around with eyes brimmed with tears. "What did I do that made you feel insecure. Babe. You're perfect. Your weight would be unhealthy if you lost any more weight, you need to gain eight pounds. Baby. You look unhealthy skinny. Please. Don't do this to me or you. Please. I love you too much to see you do this." he asks, the tears threatening to spill. "Fine" I whisper. I can't hurt him. I'll just maintain my weight that I have now. The tears go away and I am wrapped up in warm arms. He kisses me urgently and kisses down my neck. "But the boys" I moan as he kissed my neck. He stops, locks the door, then locks his lips on mine. We were done in fifteen minutes. I didn't wanna leave them alone for that long. "There is no way in hell I'm sleeping alone tonight. You either come to bed or I'm having Nate sleep with me." I tease. "Thats not funny." he said, hurt. "Sorry love. I just wanted a good incentive to have you come and sleep with me. I needed you last night. I was cold and felt unsafe. It was horrible. I need my big strong Jakey and we can have a little fun.before bed." I tell him through my gift. He smiles and kisses me gingerly. We walk out and I set the table. The boys were just talking. Andrew kept watching me and would smile. I would smile back. He was thinking how lucky he was to have made friends with Jake and I. How sweet! The boys dug in and I ate a little bit of everything to humor Jake. He seemed very content. I sat on his lap, I didn't like eating any other way. "I'm glad you're on my lap. I feel empty without you" Jake thought sweetly. "You are too cute honey. I was just thinking the same thing baby." I tell him with my gift. Everyone finished and I cleaned all the dishes with help from Jake. We had a deal, every dinner Jake helped clean up, he got three little kisses. We always made deals with kisses and bet them too. Nate and Ben went home and it was just Andrew, Jake, and I. "I'll let you guys have some alone time. I'm gonna go hang with Em, Jass, or Ed." he said with a wink. "Thanks man." Jake said as he looked at me eagerly. I rolled my eyes and went to our room. Andrew left and Jake came in and pinned me down, laying on top of me. He looked me in the eyes and kissed my nose. I flipped him so I was on top and kissed him hard and passionately. We stayed in bed for four hours. It had been a while since we had been together like that. The bathroom earlier didn't count. Andrew came up an hour after we were done. I changed back in my white spandex and black sports bra. I matched the house. I laughed to myself. "What is it babe?" Jake asked curiously. "Nothing really sweetheart. I just match the house." I said, giggling. He smiled, kissed me cheek and put on some white basketball shorts. He went to walk out of the room and I jumped on his back. He boosted me up and we went to join Andrew. Andrew laughed when he saw us. I smiled in return. I hopped off and kissed Andrew'a forehead before starting dinner. He looked surprised. "I'm an affectionate person. You'll get used it." I said, answering his unasked question. Jake smiled. "Sorry. I'm not really used to it." he said awkwardly. "You'll get used to it." I said confidently. "Jake. I should probably fill you in....." Andrew sighed. He told him everything, more than me. Going into a few stories from his dad. His dad was the violent one and his mom died giving birth to his baby brother who was two years younger than him. The abuse started as soon as the mom passed. I could kill that dad. How dare he hit a two year old. I could strangle him. He left bruises, scars, marks, and cuts on my big brother. Going as far as to keep him from school for a year so he could take out his anger on an innocent child. "Andrew. I am going to ask you something. You need to be honest." I said, holding back tears. "Okay" Andrew choked. "Does he still hurt you?" I ask as evenly as I could. Andrew looks down and thinks about Friday morning and how he punched him in the gut and slammed him against a door then a wall. I saw how bad being slammed into the door hurt because of the knob that went into his side. "You aren't going back." I say confidently, trying to mask my emotions. "When's your 18th birthday?" I ask. "Today.." he says, trailing off. "Perfect. Jakey, let's go get Edward, Emmett, and Jasper. We're going for a little ride." I say. "No! Renesmee you can't meet him!" he almost shouts. I feel hurt and stunned. "Ness. I had a sister, I thought I had it bad.. She was older than me. That's how I know when he started getting... Violent." he trailed off to think about his pretty sister that his dad raped and beat then her funeral. How she 'accidently' fell in the river and her dad couldn't save her. She refused and he killed her. "I couldn't save her" he chokes as fresh tears fall. "Nothing will happen to me. You're my brother and I protect my family. Jake. Let's change and go." I say sternly. I throw on some designer jeans, and a cute floral top with some brown uggs. Jake puts a black shirt on. I get my Uncles and Dad and we pile into my jeep. I fill them in as we drive up to a run down house that could be beautiful. I get out and grab Jake's hand. Andrew runs to the door and knocks. Why would he knock at his own house..? The man, I am assuming his father, answers the door and starts yelling. "Where the hell have you been! You're grounded. You worthless piece of shit! Go get your brother. He won't wake up. Damn kids. I wish you were never born." he screams at my big brother. I get in his face. "You unappreciative asshole. You have one of the sweetest kids alive and you treat him like the garbage you put on the side of the road. Well let me tell you something. You will never lay another hand on him. You hit him to feel the power you lost when your wife died. I get it. Losing someone is hard, but that is no excuse to take it out on an innocent child. You are the saddest excuse for a man I have ever encountered and an even sadder excuse of a father. You disgust me, you're the reason people lose faith in humanity." I scream. He raised his hand to hit Andrew for "bringing this little bitch here" as he thought. I grab it and push him down. He makes a loud thud and looks at me incredilously. "What's wrong? You can dish it out, but can't take it!? Be a man and stop. Be a man and apologize. Be a man and let your sons walk away. Do them the only favor you can. Let them go. They are far better off without you." I scream. Uncle Emmett and Jasper stand in front of me protectively. I was in front of Andrew instinctively. Jake never left my side. Jake was probably the only reason I didn't get hit back after that. Jake held a glare on him, that I never imagined possible. He gets up, defeated. I push past him and find his brother. His pulse is weak. "What did you do to him!?" I screech. I pick him up and give him to my daddy who hovered behind me, ready to push or kill anyone who was a danger to me. "We need to get him to Carlisle" daddy says calmly. I take anything I think he would would want. I get Andrew and have him take what he wants. The dad just glares at me. "Something to say? Well say it. Or are you not used to talking to little girls? Only raping or hitting them?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. Uncle Emmett laughs at me. Andrew's father looked raged. "Well guess what sweetheart, you will never lay a finger on me or any of my family. I will make sure you are locked up for your horrible deeds you monster." I tell the thing. He wasn't human to me. Andrew gets what he wants and looks at his dad. "I love you" he says, crying. I hug him and he just holds me, laying his head on top of mine. "I wish I could love you. But I can't, you're too much of a disappointment. You have and always will be worthless." he replies coldly. This pushed me over the top. "Well I suppose thats why you're a criminal and Andrew is a sweetheart. Your perception. Only intelligence can allow one to see people for who they are. Something you clearly lack. If you can't see what a sweet, caring, smart, and love deserving guy Andrew is, then you are stupider than you look. Personally, I didn't think that was possible, but you learn something new everyday." I spit at him. "Did I ask you?" He says rudely. "No. But Andrew didn't ask you to hit him. Your daughter didn't ask you to KILL her. Your other son didn't ask you to beat him until he is unconscious. So as far as I'm concerned you can take your opinion and shove it up your ass." I spit my last word out and hit him in the gut as hard as I was capable. He falls to the ground. I knocked the wind out of him. Andrew grabbed me defensively and hugged me close to him. Everyone got in front of us. "Oh and if you ever use that tone with my little Renesmee again, I will be the one to punch you." Uncle Emmett says coldly as he kicks his rib. "I will take pleasure in ending your life if you ever talk to my little Ness like that ever again." Uncle Jasper says with acid. "In fact, just stay away from her. Oh wait, that won't be a problem. You'll be locked up." Daddy adds with an evil grin. Jake picked him up by the throat and had him dangling two inches above ground. "That tone with my girl is completely unacceptable. Do I need to prove how wrong that was or will you just apologize to the beautiful girl?" Jake asked, tightening his grip. "Sorry Ness" the monster choked out. "It's Renesmee. Only family calls me Ness." I retort coldly.
