Sunrise (After Breaking Dawn)

Chapter 5: Gifts and Girls

I was shocked. I'm almost positive everyone else was too.




I scanned the room and found worried faces.




I was generally happy but still shocked.




"When is she coming?" I asked impatiently.




"They'll be here in five minutes," Emse replied.




"They'll?"




"No, Jacob, the father and husband, decided to stay home. Of course, he's coming," Emmett replied.




"If you'll excuse me."




I walked out the door and into the nearby woods. No one was following me that I could hear.




All of my feelings towards Jacob were cold. I recalled many of them, and ice shot out of my hand.




I stomped on the ground and ice covered it.




I didn't recognize what I was doing, but I kept doing it.




I was relinquishing all of my emotions and coolness.




I was so infuriated that I slammed the ground with my hand and broke the ice.




I cried. No, I wept.




I stayed in the same position for as long as possible.




I was sure five minutes had passed, and she would be home, where she belongs.




I didn't care about seeing her anymore, and I definitely didn't care that she was pregnant.




I stopped crying and got up.




I heard a twig break, so I turned my head to find Zac.




He was in his wolf form. It didn't bother me.




I walked over to him and put my hand on his face and thought, 'Jacob, well, he took away my sister.'




'But, they're married,' he thought back.




'They were supposed to move with us, but he didn't want to. Ness is too nice. She stayed with him, instead of staying with her actual family. I'm not actually in this family, yet I stay with them. Believe me, I've thought about leaving this family because I feel like I belong. My thoughts are normal. Her's weren't even rational. I'm an orphan. She has two loving parents. I hate being a vampire. She loves it. Her life is so perfect, but she chooses to make it less perfect.'




'You're beautiful.'




I chuckle out loud and think, 'How does that have anything to do with this?'
