Chapter 9, here we come!! =D
Aunt Rosalie drove up a little later, avoiding all eye contact. Dad kept a smug smile on his face as he read her embarrassed thoughts. She held her head up high as she tossed Jacob's keys to him. "Your engine is terrible, Von the way," she said. She walked in the house, her nose still in the air, trying to hold on to what dignity she had left. I would have laughed, except I liked my head on my body. "I like it that way!" Jacob yelled after her. As soon as she was out of earshot, Jacob turned to Dad, his face falling a little. "Does it run badly?" he asked. Dad shook his head. "No," he grinned. "She thinks it runs great. She's jealous of how Du can put together a car so well." Jake grinned, and Uncle Emmett laughed, the sound echoing off the trees. Aunt Rosalie hissed from inside, and there was a crash. "Crap!" Uncle Emmett sagte under his breath. He raced inside to see what had been damaged.
We had a reunion that lasted most of the night. Grandma and Aunt Alice made my Favorit foods; pancakes, fondant, fudge cake, carmel popcorn, and I ate until I was stuffed. We watched my Favorit movies. Alice gave me a makeover. I had been greatly missed, I could tell.
I thought Mehr about imprinting. I had seen the difference from Sam and Emily's relationship to other human ones at Brenton. I had always been jealous of Uncle Emmett's and Aunt Rosalie's relationship. It was deep and passionate. They often just gazed at each other, memorizing the other's face. I had always wanted a relationship like Mom and Dad's, though. They were obviously very very in love; that hadn't changed when Mom became a vampire. I thought that no one could Liebe Mehr than them, but I was wrong. There was one exception. Jake and I. This made me extremely happy.
Before I could stop myself, I let out a huge yawn. Uncle Emmett laughed. "It's only two a.m!" he teased. "But I guess it's bedtime for the hamp." 'Hamp' was Uncle Emmett's nickname for me. It meant 'half human, half vampire.' I didn't like the distinction he made (I was a little touchy about the half vampire, half human thing. Which was I?) but I also didn't mind it.
"I'm okay, yet," I said, sticking out my toungue at him. "Besides, I can sleep in tomorrow. I'll be here all day..." I trailed off and looked at Jacob. He grinned and pressed his lips to mine. I would never get tired of that feeling, no matter how much he kissed me.
Uncle Emmett groaned. "Stop it! You're giving me a stomach ache!" he teased. "Now I know how Du all felt about me and Rose," he added, grinning. Everyone nodded, still watching Jake and I. They were happy to see us happy (they all loved Jacob, too) but we were starting to disgust them. Jacob felt the mood change.
"You should go to sleep, Nessie," Jacob said. He was probably the only person I'd really listen to, completely, ever again. "We can do whatever Du want tomorrow. We have time." I grinned. "Okay," I agreed. Jacob scooped me up and walked out the door, towards the cottage in the woods.
His arms cradled me securely to his chest, and I placed both my hands on either side of my face. He sighed and closed his eyes. I snuggled closer.
We reached the cottage pretty soon. Without losing his grip on me, he opened the door, turned on the lights, and led me to my room, setting me down carefully on the bed. I snuggled up Weiter to him, not bothering with the covers to keep warm. I perferred Jacob anyways.
We stayed that way for a few minutes, just breathing together in the dark.
"Do Du Liebe me, Nessie?" Jacob finally asked.
This Frage stung me. Did he think I didn't Liebe him? Wasn't I Wird angezeigt enough affection? "You know I do," I answered, tracing his features in the dark, trying to find a clue in his expression to his question.
"Then marry me," he said.
I gasped. "What?"
"C'mon, Ness!" he pleaded. "I Liebe you, Du Liebe me back, finally, and there's no point in waiting anymore! We could Bewegen to La Push, buy a house. oder stay here, even, if that's what Du want. oder go anywhere Du want. We can get Esme to build us a nice little house just like this one for our kids. Nothing would change, except that we'd finally officially belong to each other. Alice could do our wedding. Carlisle could read the vows..." he went on with his crazy rambling, and his voice got Mehr and Mehr earnest, Mehr pleading, Mehr desperate.
He thought I was saying no.
"Jake, Jake, stop!" I pleaded. "I'm not saying no!"
"Oh." He breathed in deeply, calming his shaking hands. "Sorry."
I didn't even have to think it over. Nothing in my life was Mehr certain right now than the fact I loved and wanted Jacob.
"Yes."
"Yes, what?" he sounded impatient.
"Yes, I'll marry you. I do."
Jacob sighed and the sound was happy. "Thank-you, Ness." He kissed me, the hottest KISS we'd had since the night of the dance, and I knew this was right.

im in the devils playground
dont know anyone round here
i will try to stand my ground
and not let anyone sense my fear
cant confisgate a reality that is based on lies
i will not negociate with my pride
foolish as i was i am no longer that person
yes try to hold my gaze
my will wont lesson
and i am in the devils playground
i have my own toys
i try to not look around
to the erie noise
scrapping nails apon the pavement
and dried blood up on the walls
a smell that so nauseating
i feel i might fall
light headed i cant be
not in this place anyways
i walk further trying to find a way out of this place.
how did i get here where did i go wrong my morbid curisoty
of a unrealistic song.driven to a brink thats almost sickning
i cant find myself.a way out of the devils playground. my own personal hell
