Chapter 23: A Date…
Shopping with Renesmee and her mom, grandma and aunts was so fun. I ended up with a beautiful sleeveless white vestido that shimmered. Nessie teasingly referred to is as a “vampire skin dress” much to the chagrin of her family. She on the other hand went for a golden one shouldered dress. It looked like the dress of a goddess, which was appropriate as she was gleeful over the prospect of her new found power. The rest of the week was uneventful at school everyone was excited for homecoming. Jeff didn’t so much as make eye contact with either one of us! The only interesting bit of gossip around Forks high had to do with the disappearance of Nahuel, apparently he and his aunt had moved. Friday came before I knew it, Nessie’s aunt Alice did our hair and make up, much to her delight. She curled my hair and styled Nessie’s into a beautiful up do. She truly looked like a goddess. When Seth and Jake came to the door their mouths dropped open, then again so did ours. I had never pictured Seth in a suit and quickly realized how much time I had wasted por not picturing him dressed that way. They brought us corsages and Nessie's Grandma Esme took millions of pictures, “Ok, one more” she dicho at least a half dozen times as Nessie stood there and grimaced, “Gram!” She whined. Rosalie took many pictures too, she looked at Seth and Jake and sniffed, “No perros allowed in this one,” and she had Emmett take a picture of her with me and Ness. Nessie’s father took a lot of pictures as well as her mother stood there with an amused smile. She hugged Nessie and apologized, “I am sorry that they are putting tu through all of this.” They exchanged an understanding smile; and I felt a twinge of jealousy. How I longed to have a mother who knew me so well… Finally the “vampirazzi” finished up their shots and sent us off. When we got into Nessie’s car Jake waved his brow, “Wow, I’m actually sweating that was crazy.” Essie smiled at him, “You better get used to it. If tu think that was bad imagine our wedding.” He grimaced. “We are eloping.” Nessie giggled, “Yea my father would amor that.” Jake smiled at her, “Well it doesn’t really matter now that tu are the hulk of the Cullen’s.” I tuned their playful banter out as I stared at Seth, “Hi” I dicho shyly. “Hi” he replied, “You are gorgeous.” I smiled at him, “yea, that’s what I’ve heard.” Everyone snorted at that comment. I estola a glimpse at Seth, he looked so adorable all dressed up in a suit, his hair slicked back. He kissed my hand and smiled at me shyly, “So any regrets about letting me take tu to your dance?” I smirked at him, “Not yet, but don’t get too excited the night is still young.” He smiled at me and shook his head in amusement. When we arrived at the school, Jake and Seth dropped us off at the door. Nessie and I waited as the guys went to park the car. They met us at the door and walked us in. The gym did look pretty, the theme was autumn. There were pretty bouquets of marigolds on every mesa, tabla and bales of hay. Nessie groaned, “Aw Aunt Alice, tu overdressed us again!” I looked at what everyone else was wearing, “that’s not true Ness,” I pointed out that everyone was semi formal, but Nessie was right in a way we were a little on the dressed up side in comparison. I shrugged, “Who cares what they think do tu think anyone will dare to say anything about it?” Jake started laughing and Nessie playfully punched his arm. Seth asked me if I wanted to dance so although I hated dancing I gave in, I mean he did get all dressed up for me. After awhile I excused myself to go the bathroom, Nessie asked me if she wanted me to come with her, I smirked as I whispered loud enough only for her and Jacob to hear as they were dancing, “Ness, I really don’t think that the Volturi are going to pop out of a bathroom stall,” she giggled at me and I kissed Seth on the cheek as I turned to walk away he grabbed my hand. I turned back in surprise, “Hurry back,” he murmured as he kissed me gently on the lips. “Of course,” I assured him and I headed towards the hallway. On my way into the bathroom I heard a voice that sounded oddly familiar. I stopped for a moment and recognized Nahuel’s voice “What is he doing here?” I thought to myself remembering the rumors that he had moved. He was on his cell phone, I was going to keep walking but then I overheard something that made me freeze in my tracks. I made myself as flat against the muro as possible so that I could hear the rest of his conversation, “Jane, I can’t do this anymore. I cannot hurt Renesmee. It’s not right. No! Jane tu can’t please just tell Aro I need a little más time the family is on to something I know it.” He sighed with resignation, “Alright, I will do what I can, I have 7 days correct?” I gasped and then realized that I had been too loud, he looked up and started walking towards me, “I have a little complication that I have to take care of,” he hung up the phone and started chasing me. I ran down the hall and towards the gym I thought it over for a moment, I couldn’t lead him right to Renesmee, even though the guys were there to protect her it would draw attention and I couldn’t allow their secret to get out. I took my shoes off, I accidentally dropped one in the hallway as I flew out of the exit door , Nahuel was chasing me, “Sienna wait I need to talk to you,” I ran as fast as I could. If I could just get to the woods perhaps Leah would hear me. I was running so fast that I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going. I tripped over an overgrown árbol root and smashed my head into the el maletero, tronco and everything went black.
