Cliff Diver || Paul Lahote•Jacob Black/Twilight Fanfiction

Chapter 13

Two weeks later, Renata was at Jacob's house again, and in a week, they would return to school, which meant they would only see each other every now and then.

"I'm sorry I got you in trouble" Jacob told her, he hadn't been able to see her in those two weeks, Sam and Carlisle had agreed on grounding her, only being able to go out when she was training or when she was with Emmet or Edward, and conveniently, they didn't want to go out during those two weeks.

"No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have suggested it" Renata told him, turning her attention from the T.V. to him.

"I bet it would have been fun" Jacob told her, putting comfortably his arm around her shoulders and squeezing lightly. She rested her head on his chest and inhaled.

"When you're older, I promise I'll take you" Renata told him and and looked up to see him and smiled.

"You're not that much older, you know?"

"Almost a year, Jake. I'm so old" Renata said dramatically.

"You are a drama queen" Jacob told her and looked down to see her, she was looking up to see him and she was smiling.

Jacob loved her smile, with those big curious eyes that seemed to see right through him. Jacob almost didn't notice that he had lowered his head to be closer to her and that she had straightened a little, getting closer to him too. She inhaled his scent, like wood and some scent of car grease. They got closer slowly, not wanting to rush it and ruin it, until they were only millimeters apart. The door opened.

"Renata-" a voice they both knew said and interrupted.

"Fuck" Renata said under her breath and rested her forehead with her eyes closed in Jake's chest.

"What are you doing here, Paul?" Jacob asked, looking at him.

"I'm here for Renata. What do you two think you were doing?" He asked seriously.

"Why are you here? I'm not grounded anymore, remember?" Renata almost growled.

"I know, but Sam asked me to get you" Paul told her.

Jacob could see that Paul was angry but he couldn't quite put the finger on why. He knew Paul didn't like Renata seeing him and he thought it was maybe because he was not in their little cult like group.

"Whatever" Renata said and got up, and took her jacket and followed Paul outside, Jacob heard how she said 'bye Billy' and then, 'hold up, I left my purse'. She ran back to Jacob's room and leaned in, she grabbed Jacob's face with one hand and steadied herself with the other, and pressed her lips against Jacob's. For a second, he was kind of shocked but then he too pressed on the kiss. Renata felt Jacob smile to the kiss and made Renata smile too, "see you later, Jake" she said and took her purse, then going out to meet Paul.

Renata could almost not believe what she had just done. That was not her usual self, she didn't normally do things like that. Back in Mexico, she was too shy to talk to people she liked and so, she never got herself someone. With Jake was different, though. She felt something strong and real with him and she wondered whether he would imprint on her when he phased. He was an amazing person and he was caring, never judging her and always seeking for her to be comfortable.

"Earth to Renata, are you listening to me?" Paul asked her and pinched her arm, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Did you say something?" Renata asked.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about, Renata, you are not focused on the pack and on the task at hand, you've been spending way too much time with Jacob and you know that you shouldn't. Sam has been way to lenient with your relationship with him, but what happens later? You lie until you run out of lies and he knows everything about the pack?" Paul ranted out.

"Seriously, Paul, you need to relax. I won't tell him anything until he phases" Renata told him boringly.

"If he does-"

"When he phases, I will tell him everything, but not before. If you had any idea of what it's like to care for someone, you wouldn't be such a grinch about love" Renata told him and crossed her arms over her chest, turning slightly to face the window.

Renata saw from the corner of her eye how Paul's grip on the stirring wheel became harder and his knuckles turned white. Renata knew she fucked up, he had gotten angry and would phase any moment.

"Paul, stop the car" Renata told him but Paul ignored her, "STOP THE CAR", she said firmer and using her shaman voice. He stopped the car abruptly, "get out of the car, Paul, you're phasing, I'll drive the car to Emily's" she said and he nodded.

Paul got off the pickup truck and Renata slided over to the driver's seat. He walked to the tree line and before he could take his clothes off, he phased. Renata sighed and shook her head, that guy had some serious anger issues he had to work on. Renata drove the truck to Emily's and parked in front the front door, then entered and went to get a pair of shorts and threw them at Jared.

"Go give them to Paul, would you?" She said and he quickly nodded.

"What happened?" Sam asked her.

"He said some things, I said some things and he phased on the way home" Renata told him and he ran out.

"Oh, you're home, good" Sam entered the room and commented, "Carlisle called, he wanted me to tell you that they went hunting and he wants you to go get Edward, and you should take the Porsche"

"That's why you got me out of Jacob's house? To go get my stupid cousin out of his girlfriend's house?" Renata exclaimed, exasperated.

"Sorry kid, Carlisle seemed pretty urgent"

"And since when do you listen to what a vampire says or needs?" Renata felt a growl deep in her chest but breathed deeply.

"When it comes to you, I do. Carlisle has responsibility over you while you are here"

"Okay, I'll go, but I won't be nice"

"Renata..." Sam started but Renata had already left.

So, recently, things have happened in Mexico that has made some U.S. senators and even Trump say that they should make an intervention in Mexico. Let me tell you, the United States has NO RIGHT of invading (because that's what they do when they start their moral crusades) another country. I am not saying there are no problems in Mexico, I'm just saying that if the United States invades Mexico, and strip us of our sovereignty, there will be no Mexico left, just a war state with millions of deaths as it has happened in other parts of the world.
