Chapter 33: the Babysitter

I woke up slowly and when I noticed I wasn’t in my giường I was slightly alarmed. I looked
around as my eyes opened thêm and remembered that I was in Jake’s room. I smiled as I noticed the picture of us from my birthday party that he had on his nightstand. “How cute,” I thought to myself. There was a knock at the door and I looked up to see Jake fully dressed and showered, “morning princess.” He đã đưa ý kiến he held two cups of coffee in his hand I smiled at him and then I remembered what happened last night. I had made a total fool out of myself in front of him. On hàng đầu, đầu trang of that I probably looked gross at the moment. I slouched down in the bed, and pulled the blankets over my head. He smiled at me, “Since when were bạn shy?” I groaned, “Jake I look horrible I just woke up.” He walked into the room and set the cups down and pulled the blanket down from my face. “You are beautiful, now come one get up your mom just called.” I grimaced, “uh-oh.” I picked up my cup and took a sip. “No it’s fine, she didn’t even say anything about last night,” I looked down as my face flushed. He walked up to me, “What is it?” I hid my face in my hands, “I feel like an idiot.” He looked at me in amusement, “and why is that?” I looked at him as evilly as I could muster, “Are bạn really going to make me discuss my rejection?” His face fell, “Renesmee I didn’t reject you. I respect bạn I did what is in your best interest. I am sorry if I offended you. Please don’t be embarrassed.” I smiled at him, and took another sip from my coffee. “Your mother wanted me to remind bạn that there is a party for Sienna’s birthday tonight.” I slapped my hand to my forehead, “I forgot her present in my locker.” He smiled at me, “well why don’t we stop bởi the school on the way to take bạn home. There’s more. Your mother told me that in order to protect Sienna and your family from raising suspicions of the town, they have changed her name.” I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, “this is starting to sound like a soap opera.” I informed him dryly. He snickered at me, “Rose and Emmett adopted her, they named her Amorita, Amore they are calling her I thought about it for a moment, “huh, interesting.” He laughed to himelf, "Seth is in for it now that Rosalie is like her mom." Poor Seth. I tossed Sienna's new name around my mind for a một phút it was a pretty name it would just take some getting used to. Jake looked at me strangely, “there’s thêm isn’t there” I asked while wincing. He nodded, “They had to drastically change her appearance. They are worried that someone might be tipped off if they see her, so your mom wanted me to give bạn a heads up that she won’t look the same.” I shrugged, “nothing surprises me anymore.” He chuckled at me and then his face darkened. I looked at him in alarm, “What? Don’t tell me you’ve got thêm for me?” He looked down and then his gaze met mine, “Seth disappeared last night.” My eyes bugged out of my head and I almost dropped my coffee but he grabbed the cup. “It’s ok, your parents found him. I saw him this morning. He’s alright. He was just really messed up from everything yesterday so he took off.” I looked at the clock wondering how Jake had time to accomplish so much this early in the morning. I gasped when I realized it was lunchtime. He smiled at me, “you needed the sleep Ness,” I stretched and stood up, “Do bạn care if I take a shower?” He smiled at me as he wrapped his arms around my waist, “of course not, but bạn are perfect the way bạn are.” He leaned in to Kiss me, but suddenly we were aware of a third person in the room. Billy was in the doorway, “Good Morning Nessie.” Jake looked at his father through narrowed eyes, “Dad, come on.” Billy shrugged clearly enjoying himself, “I’m sorry I promised Bella.” Jake continued to glare at his father, but I walked over to Billy and kissed him on the cheek, “Sorry Billy, thanks for letting me stay over.” He smiled at me. “Are bạn hungry?” I shook my head, “Nah, I’m not a breakfast person.” He looked at me and chuckled, “well it is noon, are bạn a lunch person?” I shook my head, No, I’m not hungry coffee’s enough.” Jake laughed, “I wonder if it’s because bạn ate half a pizza, bánh pizza last night.” I grabbed a cái gối, gối from the floor and whipped it at him, “Shut up, bạn ate the other half.” Billy shook his head, “kids…” he muttered with a smile on his face as he directed his wheelchair out of the room. “Billy do bạn care if I take a shower?” I asked. He called back, “I don’t mind, but Jake I need bạn to help me with something outside.” I giggled; Billy was obviously trying to keep him out of the house while I was in the shower. He came up and put his arms around me, “Be right there dad,” he leaned down and kissed me, “hurry up, ok?” I nodded and grabbed my bag and stepped into the bathroom and closed the door. Their bathroom was actually somewhat neat for being inhabited bởi two guys. It must be due to the fact that one of his older sisters is around frequently. I ran the water and stepped into the vòi hoa sen it felt so good. I started to really wake up. I was excited to finally see Sienna hoặc rather Amore… that was really going to take some getting used to! I hurried up and finished and threw on a clean pair of jeans and t-shirt from my bag. I brushed my hair and dried it with Jake’s sister’s blow dryer and then brushed my teeth and went outside to look for them. Billy was sitting in his wheelchair barking directions to Jake, “I think that I saw it behind the garage.” I heard Jake’s annoyed response, “Dad I swear that it is at Charlie’s I haven’t seen that fishing pole since the last time we went with him.” As soon as Billy saw me beside him he smiled and said, “Oh, yea Jake bạn know, bạn are probably right.” Jake stepped out covered in mud his face a mask og aggravation. I burst out laughing. He narrowed his eyes at his father, “You knew that it wasn’t here this whole time, didn’t you?” He accused his father. Billy shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know what bạn are talking about, son. bạn might want to take a vòi hoa sen bạn are covered in mud.” He đã đưa ý kiến innocently. Jake rolled his eyes. “Ness I am going to go take a vòi hoa sen and then we will leave”. I giggled and pulled a chair up tiếp theo to Billy it was a crisp autumn day, but it wasn’t too cold to be sitting outside. “So how are bạn doing Renesmee?” He asked me looking concerned. I looked at him warily I wasn’t sure how much he new abut Sienna so I kept the conversation guarded. “I’m alright Billy.” He looked at me, “I’m sorry about your friend.” I looked at him and nodded. “Thanks.” He looked down, “Poor Seth that kid is devastated.” I looked down too, “I know I feel horrible for him.” He looked at me with his wise and intuitive eyes, “Life is so unfair sometimes.” I felt the tears coming back so I took a deep breath and nodded in agreement. Just then Jake came out carrying my bag, “Are bạn ready to go?” I smiled at him and got up quickly, “Bye Billy thanks for the coffee and everything.” He nodded. “Say hi to your mother.” I smiled at him and followed Jake down the driveway. I couldn’t help but wonder if Billy knew thêm about Sienna than I thought he did.
We pulled up into the school parking lot, it was a Tuesday. My parents had yanked me out of school for the rest of the week so Jake went in for me with a note so that he could get the contents out of my locker. When he came back he kissed my cheek and handed me Sienna’s sketchbook and a pile of books. “Thanks Jake, I know that she will be happy to have this back.” He took me to a craft store tiếp theo and I bought her a gigantic easel, paints, brushes, canvas and charcoal. I knew that she would miss art class so I figured her birthday present would be for me to bring it to her. Before we knew it we were pulling into my grandparent’s driveway. My stomach was doing flips I was so nervous to see her, would she be terribly different? Jake looked at me and smiled, “Are bạn ready?” I grabbed his hand and we walked into the house.
