Renesmee - L.Perez (beach read TXT) 📗

emotions were running through me right now but I had to focus; Easier said than done. Time passed soo sluggishly but finally the bell rang and it was time for lunch. Everyone eagerly left but Blake and I sat still. Mr. Mason left us with simple instructions; Close the door after we were done. It was finally just me and Blake. It was quiet but then I broke the silence. “Blake,” I started. He turned toward me and said “Yeah?” I sighed and said “Blake…you seem to not understand me…” He just stared at me. I sighed again, tired of beating around the bush and said “Blake…we can’t be anything more than friends.” He sighed and looked away toward the front. “I’m sorry Blake…I really am but…I love Jacob more than anything...more than my own life,” I said. He still didn’t look at me so I reached out to touch his face with my hand, blocking out my vampire ability; he stared at me, completely bewildered. I stared at his eyes, beseeching, hoping he would understand. He stared at me and finally looked down and said “I‘m sorry…” It hurt me to see him so hurt. “Blake,” I whispered, and got up and hugged him. I don’t know why but I just had to do it, I couldn’t see him in pain. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and heard his breathing near my ear. We embraced one another for lord knows how long when he spoke. “Renesmee,” he whispered. “Yes Blake?” I whispered just as quiet. “Was there every a possibility?” he whispered, hushed agony in his voice. I hesitated and whispered “No…” He sighed and straightened up. I let go of him and started backing up, but he pulled me back to him, kinda hard actually, hard enough that I ran into his chest with a thud. He looked down at me and said “I’ll just be your friend now Renesmee, I promise…but if you ever need me to be more…I’m here.” I stared into his eyes for any trace of pain but saw nothing but truth and seriousness. I looked at him and thought “it’s the least you can do,” and said “Okay Blake.” He smiled a warm smile and bent down toward me. I thought he was gonna try to kiss me on the mouth and started to protest but when I felt his lips touch my forehead, I stopped fighting. My eyes closed on their own accord and an overwhelming feeling circuited throughout my body. I felt his soft lips leave my forehead and his fingers brush my hair away. He didn’t try to kiss me on the lips? I opened my eyes and looked into his eyes wordlessly. He smiled a peaceful smile and softly said “Let’s get you some lunch,” and motioned toward the door. I nodded and broke from his embrace and gathered my things. We walked in silence and as we got our food, but once we sat down, Blake started chatting away, like nothing ever happened. He talked about things friends would and not once did he try to hint any of his feelings for me, which really surprised me. What surprised me further was that he had the hugest since of humor ever. He was hilarious and made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurt and almost made apple juice come out of my nose. It seemed like we were just really talking when the bell rang. Blake hugged me, not in an ‘I like you’ way, but in a ‘were friends’ way and left with a bright smile on his face. I stared at him completely shocked; that had been so easy. Guilt lifted off of me and I felt like I could really breathe again. I walked to Mr. Andrews’s class, totally blissed. Luna noticed. “Look who’s all happy,” Luna said. I turned to her and flashed a grin. She laughed and said “You talked it out with him?” I nodded and said “He’s completely stopped with it, were really just friends now,” and couldn’t hold my smile back. She laughed again and walked to her seat as Mr. Andrew’s started class. Class dragged but my mood was too happy to be brought down and before I knew it, it was time to go home. I jumped up, eager to go home. Luna and I walked to the front and met Anna. Anna looked at me with shock and said “Renesmee, I never knew you were like that…” I stared at her and said “Uh what?” Anna looked at me and said “I bet if Jacob knew, he’d be really upset.” My heart stopped, and then doubled overtime. Who the hell did she think she was? I narrowed my eyes and said “Keep his name out of your mouth, and what the hell are you talking about?” Anna flinched and slightly backed up; scared of the venom in my voice. “First that guy from this morning, then Blake. You don’t think he’d be upset?” she asked in a small voice. My jaw fell. “What?” I whispered, totally shocked. Luna was in Anna’s face before I could even blink. “That is just fucking sick! The guy from the morning is her fucking Uncle and Blake is just a friend!” Luna shouted. Anna cowered, scared. I pulled Luna back and said “Luna, calm down.” Luna breathed in deeply and nodded. I looked back to Anna, who now had tears running down her face. Anna was the one to cry when she was yelled at, and she considered Luna and I close friends so it really hurt her. I walked over to Anna and said “I’m sorry Anna; you just took me and Luna by surprise.” She sniffled and stared at me. I hugged her and sat her down. “Anna, where did you hear this from?” She sniffled once more and said “Tina Connors said that some of her friends had been outside when you arrived and said that you were with some gorgeous blonde guy and that the way you guys talked made you guys looked really into each other, then someone told Chris Johnson that they walked by Mr. Mason’s class during lunch and saw you and Blake making out and,” I stared at her in complete horror as she continued to talk. All of this was a lie. Well almost all. Yeah Blake and I had been in the same room but we never made out! “And I’m soo sorry I jumped to conclusions and I listened to them, I should know better than to listen to them,” she finished sounding ashamed. I smiled a tight smile and patted her back. “It’s okay Anna, I’m sorry I was so mean.” She nodded her head and flinched when Luna spoke not having heard Luna move closer. “I too, am so sorry Anna. I was just so sick of all the talk,” she bent down to grab hold of Anna’s hands and looked her in the eyes. “Forgive me?” Luna asked. Anna looked at her and said “Of course Luna, you didn’t do anything wrong, I did.” Luna shook her head and said “Do you know the source of everything?” Anna shook her head and said “No, but maybe Tina or Chris…” Luna nodded and started walking toward the groups. Oh no! I quickly ran to Luna’s side and said “Luna, what are you doing? You’re just gonna get yourself in trouble!” She barely looked at me and said “No I’m not; I’m just finding out who’s making up this shit and shutting it down.” “Luna!” I hissed. “You could kill one of them and blow our cover, think it through!” I hissed desperately. Luna nodded and said “I won’t hit anyone.” I growled and said “Luna, just let it go.” “Nope,” she said. We were walking through the groups now. “Luna, please,” I begged. Luna sighed and turned to me. “Renesmee, I swear I’m not going to hit anyone of those girls okay?” I looked into her eyes and saw nothing but the truth and slowly said “Oh…kay.” Luna smiled at me and once again turned around and searched for Tina. Tina stood with her little group of shit talkers and whispered urgently to one another. They were all typically considered “pretty” but they were such fake bitches that once you got to know them, they were the ugliest things alive. One of her friends looked up and had to do a double take. Fear flashed through her eyes and she quickly nudged Tina. Tina looked at her, clearly confused and followed her gaze to see Luna and me approaching. Her eyes widened as the fear settled in; we weren’t the ones to pick fights and we never really confronted anyone in particular but everyone always knew we weren’t to be fucked with. Everyone now noticed, and now instead of hearing whispers of scandals, I heard whispers of anticipation. Money and items were placed on Luna punching Tina in the face. We finally stopped walking about seven feet from Tina and her group. The atmosphere suddenly felt thick. “So,” Luna’s loud voice projected. “You saw Renesmee here with some gorgeous blonde this morning did you?” Luna questioned in a sickly sweet voice that gave me chills. Tina swallowed hard. “Yeah, she was all over him, everyone else saw too,” she said, bitchy as ever. Luna smiled sweetly and said in the same sweet voice “Was she?” Tina simply nodded; Luna smiled. Luna was always dangerous but when she was sweet such as now, she was deadly. I touched Luna’s arm, cautioning her. “Did you know that the man from this morning was her Uncle?” Luna asked. Tina’s eyes opened a bit and her face seemed confused now, as if the story she heard didn’t make since anymore. Luna moved right in her face and whispered so low no one else but me heard would hear. “Give me the name of the person and I’ll let you live.” Tina’s hazel eyes opened wide, and she stayed completely still. “Phil,” she barely managed to whisper. Luna backed away from Tina and smirked. Tina still couldn’t move. Luna smiled and walked away; I knew she was going to go find Phil. I threw one more look at Tina, who was very pale but alive and ran after Luna. “Luna,” I started. “That’s enough okay? Haven’t you terrorized people enough today?” I asked as we jogged to find Phil. Luna didn’t answer. “Luna!” I shouted. She stopped and stared at me. “What is it Renesmee? I have business to do,” Luna said formally. “Oh god Luna, just leave it alone please,” I begged. Luna rolled her eyes and started considering it when we heard Phil’s loud mouth. Luna’s eyes narrowed, I flinched—This was going to be bad. Luna walked toward Phil and his group of idiots, who once again tried not to act scared because she was a girl, but he didn’t fool me, nor did he fool Luna. Luna walked right up to him and said “What the hell’s your problem? Why are you so obsessed with Renesmee?” She sounded like a pissed off Mom. Phil laughed and squealed in what was supposed to be a girl voice “Oh I’m so scared of Luna, someone save me.” His idiots laughed along with him. Luna stayed calm and said “Phil, I really don’t want to hurt you but if you don’t leave Renesmee alone, I will.” Phil and his idiots laughed loudly and that was one thing Luna didn’t take. You could call her a whore, slut, bitch, whatever, she didn’t care, but when you laughed in her face like there was no tomorrow, there was no going back. Luna’s lip curled as he laughed in her face. “Luna DON’T!” I yelled as I flung my body toward them, but I knew I was too late. I heard a crunch as Luna’s fist connected with Phil’s nose. Phil flew a
