Life After Dawn

Chapter 18- Afterschool things pt.2

Jacob P.O.V

There went the final bell.

It was time for me to head over to Cassidy's place to work.

Why was I so nervous. What was wrong with me. It's like she has some kind of power over me.

It's very frustrating.


I walked over to my locker and dumped my books and extra work I don't need.

It squeaked as I opened it. It was so annoying.

I slammed it shut to find Cassidy leaned against the blue locker beside mine.

"Whoa, you scared me. I was about to walk over to you", I said putting on my tan leather jacket.

"Sorry. I'm sorry", she sincerely apologized.

"No worries", I smiled a bit.

"Ready to go now?", she quickly looked at me and looked down.

"I'm so stupid. Of coarse you are ready. I don't know what's wrong with me", she laughed.

I chuckled. "Don't beat yourself up. It's fine. C'mon", I started walking and she came beside me.

"Ready! 1, 2, 3, 4! Come on come on!", someone shouted as we exited the school.

We both turned in the direction the voice was shouting.

"Cheerleaders.", I said.

"Yup. Isn't that your family?", she pointed her polished finger to the field.

Family? Oh! The Cullens'.

"Right. Ya that's Rosalie", I said her name as nice as I could.

We were still not friends, but we don't hate each other as much.

"She's really good! She's really pretty too. I wish I was like her", Cassidy sighed.

Why did she want to be like Rosalie? Rosalie is a leech. A bloodsucker that is a bitch. I really wonder how Emmett does it.

"You don't want to be like Rosalie, trust me. Cassidy you're great", I smiled.

She blushed. "Thanks Jacob".

Just then my phone vibrated loudly in my jacket pocket.

It was Ness. Oh my Nessie.

A new text.

"Hey Jake. Just with my new friends. I miss you <3"

I smiled. Oh ness.

"Having fun? Miss you too. Just going to work with Cassidy now" I replied.

Instantly I got a reply.

"Yes! I love them. But not as much as I love you. Oh sorry babe. Work and I'll see you soon :)"

"That's great. I love you more babe. See you soon." I quickly typed.

Cassidy was standing just awkwardly playing with her hands.

"Sorry about that. It was Renesmee", I said to her.

"Renesmee?", she looked confused.

"My girlfriend", I smiled a little. Still couldn't believe it.

"Oh. That's fine. Does she go here?", she asked just out of curiosity.

"Ya. She's a sophomore.", I explained.

"Oh", she simply said. I thought I heard her sigh.


"Um. How are we going to get to your place?", I asked. I didn't know if she drove or walked.

"Right! I drive. It's not far. Let's go.", she told me and we walked over to her car.

"Sorry about the mess", she added as we got in her little car.

It was nice. It must be expensive. I don't thinks she cared really about it. A car was a car to her.

The front seat had a few books and coffee cups in the cup holders.

She started the engine and we were off. She changed the radio station a few times til she got a good song.

"I love this song! Marianas Trench is like the best band ever", she spoke.

"I never heard of them", I honestly said and looked over to her.

"Are you serious!? They are amazing! This is my favorite song by them", she told me smiling.

She than started singing along. Her voice was good. She could sing.

"How've you been? Can I come in?/ just came to get my things and then I guess I'm leaving./ if I can say, what you'd like to hear/ I'd whisper in your ear it's only temporary/ but I've been taking you for grated and I thought you'd feel the same as me/ it's time that I come clean/ but but for now can we just both pretend just leave/ sometimes the one you want is not the one you need/ what goes around don't come around/ you should know me by now/ better than I'm better than...."

I did like it at the end.

Renesmee p.o.v

"Renesmee! Hey! We always go to Samantha's house on Tuesdays. Wanna come?", Alexis, Crystal and Samantha rushed up to me as the bell rang.

"Sure. I just need to tell my mom and dad", I said.

I got my phone and dialed Grandma Esme since she was at home .

She answered on the first ring.

"Cullen residence", she spoke happily.

"Grandma? It's Renesmee", I informed her.

"Hello ness. Do you need anything? Should I get you from school since everyone is at try outs?", she asked.

"No I'm good. I was just wondering if I could go out to one of my new friend's houses?"

"Oh, of coarse sweetheart. Have fun. And should I get you after?", she asked.

"Yes. I'll call you. Love you and thank you", I told her.

Esme was the best.

"You're welcome honey. I love you and I'll see you soon", with that we both hung up.

"I can go!", I told them the good news and they jumped up.

"Great! Let's go!", Samantha said.

"Her house isn't far from here. It's a 7 minute walk", Alexis told me.

"I love your hair Renesmee! It's so nice straight!", Crystal said.

"Thanks. I like it straight more than curly", I told her.

"Same with my hair! It's way prettier straight." Alexis pointed to her big tight curly brown ringlets.

We arrived at Sam's house in no time.

Her house was a good size. She was an only child and lived with her mom.

I liked her house. We talked and made jokes. We even gave each other nicknames.


"Renesmee can be Ness", Alexis thought.

"Sure my family call me that too", I told her.

"Alexis you can be Lex", I smiled at her.

"Lex. I like it!", she danced around Samantha's room.

Alexis was confidant and a little crazy.. A good crazy.

"Samantha is gonna be Sam", Crystal announced.

"Crystal will be Cris", I thought aloud.

"Perfect! Now we all have names", Sam hopped off her bed. We were all siting somewhere in her large room.

"We should go out. It's a hot day and I'm hungry", Cris said randomly.

"That's a great idea.. Menchies?", Alexis suggested.

"Isn't that the new froyo place down by the library?", Samantha wondered.

"I've never had it", I spoke up.

"We HAVE to go now since you haven't been there Renesmee!", Alexis squealed.

"Yes! Let's go!", Crystal cheered.

Alexis grabbed my hand and we went downstairs.

"Mom! We'll be back", Samantha shouted to her mom.

With that we were off. Menchies here we come!






Sorry for the long wait.

More to come real soon!
