I sat at the back of English hoping no one would see me, or speak to
me. Annie came in and seen the look on my face. 'What's wrong'? She
asked sitting next to me.
'Never mind'. I whispered. I really didn't
want to talk to her. I wanted to sit on my own. Think about everything
that has been going on in the last few days. Annie didn't take the hint,
she started going on about the dance, and she had a date and a dress. I
just ignored her. She asked if I was going to the dance. I shrugged.
Like I could think about that. My dad was in a coma and my best friend
was hurt. I also wondered what life would be like if Jacob did leave.
Where would he go, how would he eat. What would I do? How would I live
knowing my best friend isn't here when I need him? A piece of me missing
would never be replaced. It made me depressed thinking about it.
Annie
on the other hand didn't seem to care how I felt, she was still talking
about her dress, showing me pictures on her phone, I just nodded she
gave me dirty looks. I think she thought I was jealous I didn't care
though. Why care about a dress when two of the people you love the most
were injured.
'Sit down everyone'. The teacher came in, everyone
shuffled to their chairs. 'Hello, my name is Mrs Delives'. She said
writing her name on the board. She turned back to us again. 'Will
someone hand out these books please'? She said. Annie got up and gave
the books out. Hannah and Dean sneaked into the class. They sat on the
table next to ours. 'Hello Renesmee how are you?' they whispered. I just
smiled and nodded.
We didn't really do much that lesson because it
was the first English lesson we had the teacher was introducing us. We
had new books; she told us what we would be doing this year. Then the
bell went.
'Come on Renesmee'. Annie grabbed my arm pulling me away from Hannah and Dean who frowned at Annie.
'Annie'.
I tried to say but she had already pulled me through the hallways to
our next lesson. We stopped outside the room. 'I can walk on my own'. I
said. She shrugged at me. 'What is wrong with you today?' she asked.
'You look miserable; you haven't spoken a word all day. You didn't even
compliment my dress'. She said frowning at me. I was angry. I wanted to
slap her. She had no idea how I felt, what had happened. All she cared
about was a dress. 'I don't care about your dress, not everything is
about you, and I have bigger things to deal with so stop bugging me
about your dress'. I shouted at her. She looked like I had slapped her.
Her face went red.
'Well you could have at least said something'.
She said. Then she walked into the classroom. Hannah ran over to me.
'What did Annie want'? She asked.
'She was wondering why I haven't
been talking'. I said. We both walked into the classroom and sat at the
back. Annie stared at us. She was sat alone.
'Are you Ok'. Hannah
asked me. When it was half way through the lesson and I hadn't spoken a
word. I nodded tears filled in my eyes.
'I am fine'. I choked the tears back.
'OK'.
She said going back to do her work. Hannah was also quiet all lesson as
well. Unlike Hannah she knew something was wrong, but knew I didn't
want to talk about it.
It was lunch time now. We sat in the
cafeteria at our table. Hannah was talking about going shopping some
time for her dress. Dean had asked her to come to the prom. Annie
wouldn't tell anyone who she was going with. I didn't care. A few more
of Hannah and Annie's friend's joined us. I didn't know their names and I
didn't care. I just nodded every now and again. I didn't eat at all.
I
was finally alone in the next lesson. I could gather my thoughts up
with no one distracting me. I felt free finally, draining out the
teacher's voice. I thought about my mom's face it was so sad crumpled,
broken. If she lost my dad she would also be alone for eternity. We
would be able to comfort each other. I would try my best to show Jacob
that him being here is good for me. I wouldn't be able to live without
him. The teacher talked all lesson. I didn't care about school I wanted
to go home.
The day finally came to an end. Dean came up to me.
'Are you ok?' he asked he looked really concerned. 'Yes I am ok Dean,
but Hannah told me in geography she is waiting for you to ask her to the
dance'. I said. He smiled nodding.
'See you later Renesmee'. He said turning out the school gates. My mom was late. She must of forgot.
Half
an hour later she still hadn't come. I didn't know my way home walking.
I took my phone out my pocket, I rang my mom. No answer. I rang Alice.
The phone rang, and then someone answered. 'Hello'. They said.
'Hello, Alice'. I asked
'Yes'. She said.
'My mom was supposed to pick me up from school'. I said.
'I
am sorry Renesmee, she hasn't come here'. Alice said. I closed the
phone. I was suddenly worried. What had she done? She was packing and
then going to Carlisle's. Where was she? My phone rang again.
'Hello'. I said.
'Renesmee, I am coming to get you'. Alice said over the phone. I nodded and said. 'Ok'.
Alice
appeared ten minutes later. In her car. 'I am sorry Renesmee, I went to
your house, and no one was in. A note was left on the door though. She
has gone away for a few days to get her head round things'. She said.
I
felt so lonely, my dad was in a coma, and my mom had gone away and
abandoned me. 'Is there anyway we could find her'. I asked.
I got in
the car. 'Yes I will find her when we get back'. She said then she
suddenly stared ahead. She was concentrating on something. A moment
later she looked at me. 'I know where Bella is'. She said slamming her
foot on the accelerator. The car skidded into gear. 'Where is she?' I
asked. Putting my seatbelt on. I was scared. Alice was driving wildly.
'Remember
I told you about Tanya'. She said. I nodded. My family had briefly
mentioned Tanya and her family. They were an extended family to the
Cullen's. They had helped my family so much.
'Bella has gone to Tanya she has told them what has happened. They are coming to our house, tonight'. She said.
'If they are coming here, why are we rushing'? I breathed.
'We need to get home before Tanya arrives'. She said.
We
got home after ten minutes. Alice told everyone what she saw. Everyone
was rushing round the house, getting dressed in their best clothes. I
didn't understand it.
'Alice, what is happening'? I asked. Everyone was still rushing round.
'Tanya and her coven are coming to see Edward'. She said.
'So why is everyone dressing up'? I asked.
'Because Tanya is our good friend. We want to seem welcoming'. She said. She dragged me upstairs.
She put me in a little dress. A knee length blue jersey dress. No sleeves or straps.
'You
look so cute'. She spun me around to look at me. 'Now hair and
make-up'. She sat me down at her dressing table. 'Make-up first. She got
her make-up out and started messing around with me. She put blue
metallic eye shadow on and peachy lip gloss. 'Now your hair'. She said.
After an hour she had curled my hair and tied it with a butterfly clip. When she finished with me. I watched her get ready.
She
put on a long red dress it had a red belt round the waist to hold her
figure in. It had thin straps. She put on red lipstick and red eye
shadow. She also did red eyeliner. She looked lovely. She brushed her
hair out so it looked feathery. 'Come on'. She said grabbing my hand. We
both walked downstairs.
Everyone else was wearing smart casual
clothes. 'You two look lovely'. Rosalie said hugging us. She was wearing
a long silver top with black skinny jeans. Her hair was wavy. 'You
two'. We both said. I had almost forgotten all our problems. I didn't
remember Tanya very much I hadn't seen her since I was very young.
Everyone
gathered in the living room talking and laughing. Jacob was with us. He
had also dressed up a little. He was walking round a little bit. He
stayed with me though. We still had the notepad.
A knock on the
door made everyone jump up. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. 'Hello
everyone'. My mom came in the door. Her hair was messed up. She looked
stressed. She came up to me and hugged me. 'I am so sorry Renesmee'. She
said. I nodded at her. She got a suitcase out of the car.
'Where is everyone'? I asked.
'They
are on their way'. She said. She hugged Jacob as well. He was really
happy to be walking properly again. He could now do everything perfect
except talk. My mom went upstairs to check on my dad.
'Hello'. A
friendly voice said outside the door. Carlisle opened it. Taking
everyone's coats and smiling. Tanya walked in first. I recognised her. I
couldn't remember her when everyone had mentioned her. But she looked
so familiar. Then the other member's of the coven came in. They all
looked so familiar. They said their hello's and hugged everyone. Kate
came straight up to me. No one else did to begin with. Carlisle was
explaining to Tanya what had happened to my dad. Carlisle took her
upstairs to see him. Closely followed by my mom.
'Hello there, you must be Renesmee'. Kate asked. I nodded.
'How old are you now?' she asked hugging me.
'I am five years old'. I said proudly. She frowned. It was obvious she was a little confused.
'I
am five but I have the physical and mental age of a fourteen year old'.
I said. She smiled at me. 'Wow, it has been a while'. She said. Just
then two other members of the coven came in. I didn't recognise them.
Everyone else seemed to except me.
I learned their names quickly,
Alice and Jasper greeted them both warmly everyone was talking and
laughing for once in the night. The other two members' of the coven were
Carmen and Eleazar.
Someone else came in a few minutes later. It
was Zafrina, I remembered her well. She was the one who spent a lot of
time with me, even though I was young I remember her so well. She taught
my mom to strengthen her shield.
When she walked in, she came
straight up to me. 'Oh Renesmee'. She cried pulling me into a hug.
'Hello'. I breathed. She loosened her grip holding me at arms length.
'How have you been?' she laughed loudly, like a bellow. I giggled again.
'I
am fine thank you'. I smiled. I was happy again; even Jacob seemed in a
good mood. Jacob was smiling and nodding at everyone, they frowned
thinking he was being rude. I explained the accident between Jacob and
my dad. Resulting them both to be injured.
Tanya and Carlisle came
back down stairs. They were smiling and laughing. Esme was talking to
Kate. Tanya was the only one who didn't say anything to me. I didn't
mind. It was so nice to see everyone again. My mom spent a lot of time
talking to Zafrina.
Carlisle was talking to Tanya about Jacob going
to hospital for an operation, and my dad might need to get checked out.
Tanya talked about this vampire, her name was Anna. She had a special
ability to heal people quicker than anyone could. She could heal someone
in a week. From a deep coma to broken bones and more. She was coming to
Forks on Wednesday to perform an operation. She was a private doctor
now. She studied for years how to heal people; she trained her ability
till it was perfect. She studied the anatomy and even went to university
to become a surgeon. She has never really had to perform surgery.
'What is her last name'? Carlisle asked curiously.
'She doesn't know her last name, she recently joined our coven'. Tanya had said.
'I
think I know her'. Carlisle said. Tanya seemed surprised. Alice had,
had another vision. 'Oh my'. She screamed. Everyone turned to her. 'What
is wrong Alice'? Jasper sprang to her side. 'Nothing is wrong, give me
paper. Paper'. She cried. Jasper gave her paper. She drew a face, a
person, no too beautiful to be a person. A vampire.
'She is going to help Edward, I just saw it'. She smiled. She finished drawing.
Carlisle
took the picture from Alice. 'I used to work with her years ago. We
studied together years ago. I will have to go and see her on Wednesday'.
He chuckled lightly to himself. Later that night everyone left. They
would come back in a week to see how my dad was. Carlisle was in a great
mood swaying Esme round the room twirling her around. Everyone else
went out to hunt. Alice and Jasper stayed. Alice didn't want to risk
missing anything else. They both went upstairs.
Later that
night. I lay with Jacob he was resting at the bottom of my bed. I could
still hear the music downstairs. Everyone seemed in a better mood. Even
my mom. She came in my room with a big smile on her face. 'Goodnight
Renesmee, goodnight Jacob'. She said quietly. Jacob looked at me
smiling. He knew he would be better soon. A small part of me was sad to
know when he was better he would leave. This vampire was coming to help
Edward as well, she was coming Wednesday night. She would heal my dad.
Everything was going to be back to normal.
The next morning
everyone was in a better mood. I walked downstairs. Everyone said good
morning smiling at me. They were watching TV. My mom was whistling.
'Morning Renesmee'. She sang happily. 'Morning mom'. I said smiling
back.
'We have a special visitor tonight'. She said smiling again.
'Who?'
I asked. We weren't expecting anyone. Carlisle's friend wasn't coming
till tomorrow afternoon. She was spending the morning with Jacob and the
afternoon with Carlisle helping my dad wake up. No one else was coming
though.
'Your granddad'. She said. I hadn't seen granddad for a few
years. The last time was at his and Sue's wedding. It was beautiful. My
mom was so happy. Everyone was invited. We all got dressed up. It was a
great evening. They only returned from their honeymoon a year ago after
cruising round the world. He missed us a lot while he was gone. He
phoned my mom quite a lot when he was away.
'When is he coming?' I asked.
'He
will be coming with me to pick you up from school'. She smiled. 'Come
on Renesmee otherwise you will be late'. She smiled. I was in a great
mood. Jacob was smiling at us. 'Mom can Jacob come'. I asked her. Jacob
beamed hugging me.
'Of course he can'. She smiled. She was in a
great mood as well. Jacob walked to the door. I was helping him down the
steps to the car.
Jacob
I could finally do everything I
needed to, I can now walk properly. Even though Renesmee insists on
helping me. I can't kill her good mood. When she hasn't been this happy
for ages. Her granddad was coming later. I hadn't spoken to him in a
while either. It would be nice to see him. Renesmee and Bella were
talking about Edward finally waking up. Bella was a little worried she
had never met this vampire who would heal him. She hoped it worked.
Renesmee was excited she wanted to see her dad awake again. She saw him
everyday. She spent hours with him talking to him. Hugging him and
telling him about her day. I was definitely wearing down. Why would I do
this to Renesmee and her family? They would have to pick the pieces up
of her heart. After everything they were doing. Could I really leave
her? How selfish and ungrateful would I be? I wasn't going to tell
Renesmee until her dad woke up and I could speak again.
But sat in
the car with Bella and Renesmee, I felt content. Everyone was so happy
now. Looking forward to Edward waking up. I have never felt so happy
ever. Looking at Renesmee. Seeing her lovely smile, her warm caring
eyes. Made me realise were I belonged.
Renesmee
I was a
little confused to why Jacob was smiling at me like that. He used to do
it all the time, like caring smile he told me ages ago because he felt
like he finally belonged somewhere. But since he made the decision to
leave he hasn't shown me his smile once until now. I think he was just
happy for me, knowing my dad would be awake soon. I was so excited my
dad was going to wake up soon. Jacob would also be able to speak soon.
But the closer he was to speaking the less time I had with him. I was a
little broken by this. He knows how much I care about him. I know he
only does things for a reason though. It was nice to finally smile again
without it being fake.
'Bye mom'. I smiled at her. She smiled back;
Jacob got out to hug me. 'Bye Jacob'. I laughed. He was being really
affectionate today. I think it is because everyone is in such a good
mood. Me especially. Jacob kissed me on my head. I smiled at him hugging
him tight. 'Jacob, do you want to stay with Renesmee?' My mom asked
him. He nodded. His grin was wide now. 'Thanks mom'. I squealed hugging
her. She laughed. 'Ok see you later Renesmee'. She said. Starting the
engine and driving off.
Jacob walked me all the way to my first
lesson. He held my hand all the way. I was talking to him about last
night. It was a great night. Everyone was friendly even to Jacob. I
didn't expect that. I couldn't wait for Jacob to be healed and my dad to
be awake. He was still smiling when we reached the classroom. He took
out our notepad. I will be here at lunch time outside your classroom. He
handed me the pad I smiled again. And said thank you out loud. Then the
bell rang.
I walked into the classroom. The teacher was already
writing on the board. 'Ah so nice of you to join us. Miss Cullen'. She
said. I cringed looking at the floor. I sat next to Dean. He seemed in a
good mood as well. Annie was sat in front of us. With Hannah, and a few
other people who sat with at lunch.
The lesson went by quite fast;
we had a maths test which was easy. I was talking to Dean and Hannah who
kept looking at each other. Dean wanted to ask Hannah on a date but
didn't know how. So I said I would help him. Everyone was in a great
mood today, smiling and laughing. Annie was showing pictures of her
dress. This time I was interested. It was a long pink dress, with
sequins round the waist part. The straps were thin, they tied round the
neck. Everyone was complimenting her. I didn't like her much. But I was
pretending to go along with everyone. I still didn't know if I was going
to the dance.
I met Jacob at lunch time after sneaking out the fire
exit in the bathroom. He was outside the gates staring into space.
'Hello Jacob'. I said hugging him. He just looked at me grinning. Then
he took out his notepad. A few seconds later he handed me what he had
wrote. Hello Renesmee how is your day so far? 'My day is going fine, I
don't know if I am going to the dance, I want to but I don't want to go
without a date'. I said loudly. Jacob grinned at me. Renesmee, when is
your dance. We will have to talk to your mom about it. When I read this I
asked him. 'But Jacob aren't you leaving me?' he shook his head
grinning. I started crying. Tears rolling down my face. I was so happy.
Jacob hugged me tightly. 'So about the dance'. I started. Jacob wrote
again. When is the dance? He wrote to me. 'Just before we break up for
Christmas holiday's'. I said out loudly. This was about 12 weeks away.
Lunch
went by quickly and the bell rang for my last two lessons. I couldn't
wait to get home. My other grandma and granddad would be there. I hadn't
seen them in a while. Jacob was going to be able to talk soon; I would
know exactly how he felt and what he thought. Everything was looking up.
Jacob
I hated to say goodbye to Renesmee, but it wasn't
fair she should skip off school to stay with me. We hugged and said
goodbye for five minutes. Renesmee was going to be late so I looked at
her as if to say, you're going to be late. She frowned at me. My face
softened when her face lifted up to frown. Once I wrote to her that I
would be outside her door as soon as the fifth period bell went, her
face lit up. Eyes sparkling and her smile was back. She left me after
that. I just hung around the school for the remainder of the day.
Watching people in their daily routines. I skimmed a stone into the main
road. I was so bored.
Renesmee
I was so excited, obviously
my mom would let me go to the dance, I don't know about my dad. I
daren't ask him. Even when he woke up he would hate Jacob. At least my
family would help me out. I told Hannah in science I would like to go
shopping with her this weekend for dresses. Hannah was so happy, we
didn't tell Annie. Another girl in our group of friends asked if she
could come. Her name was Chloe she was really shy. She got asked to the
dance by one of Dean's friends Stephen. I never really spoke to either
of them they just hung out in our group of friends. So Saturday was on
we were meeting up at ten o clock just outside our favourite restaurant.
I was excited; if Jacob could speak maybe he would want to come with
us. Bad idea actually he would be really bored, maybe my aunt Alice
would want to come, any excuse to shop and she was in. I asked Hannah if
my friend Alice could come, she said yes of course. Alice would be so
excited and it would take her mind off everything that was going on.
Our
last lesson was going slow. Annie refused to talk to me. I didn't know
why, but I really didn't care. I think it was because of the dress
shopping. Or that Dean decided to sit with me in geography instead of
her. Dean told me that I was stealing her friends. I finished all my
work. Mr Weason sat at his desk. Everyone had finished their work and
started throwing paper balls around the room. He just sat there doing
nothing staring into space. Dean was excited to go to the dance, he
asked who I was going with but I said I didn't know yet. He was going to
ask Hannah out on a date Saturday. He was going to turn up and take
her. I told him the times we were going places. He should meet up with
her at 2:30 outside our restaurant when we would be going to eat. Chloe
didn't mind the plan either. I text it to her in geography.
The
bell finally rang. Everyone sighed in relief. I packed up my bag
escaping out of the door. 'Hello Jacob'. I said happily as he grinned at
me. I was a little surprised even though he said he would be there. I
didn't know if he would remember. I hugged him. He held my hand as we
walked to meet my mom.
'Hello Renesmee'. My mom opened the door for
us both. I was in a great mood. Mom had the radio on a popular pop
channel. She was humming along to it.
'Hi mom, do you mind if I go out with some friends on Saturday'. I asked.
'No,
I don't mind, I already knew you were going anyway. Alice is looking
forward to it'. She sighed. I nodded watching everything go by. Jacob
still had my hand.
'Your granddad is already here'. Mom started.
'Oh'.
I said. It is a good job my mom and dad explained to my granddad about
the growth thing. I looked the same age my dad was when he met my mom.
This would bring back memories for granddad. 'Mom does granddad know
what happened to dad and Jacob'. I asked biting my lip. She shook her
head. 'No he doesn't'. She said.
'Can I show him what happened?' I asked. She shook her head again.
'No
it is best you don't, your granddad told us he doesn't want to know
anything except the basics about us'. She said. I left it at that.
'But mom what will you say when granddad speaks to Jacob and he can't talk back?' I asked.
'Alice
is explaining everything to him, she has told him that Edward has gone
away for a couple of days, and Jacob has a cold and has lost his voice'.
She smiled.
'But Jacob doesn't look like he as a cold'. I said biting my lip.
'Renesmee, be quiet please you are giving me a headache'. She sighed.
We parked the car in the drive. Alice ran out to us. 'Hello Renesmee'. She smiled hugging me. 'Hello Alice,
I
take that as a yes you want to come with us on Saturday'. I said
walking to the house. She looked at me as if to say well duh. 'Of
course'. She grinned bouncing into the house.
'Bella, Renesmee, How are you both?' granddad stood up and hugged us both.
'Fine'.
We both said. He sat back down looking uncomfortable. Jasper and Emmett
were playing a board game with Rosalie. They grinned when we walked in.
'What are you playing?' I asked walking up to them.
'I don't
know we found it in the attic earlier. It is great fun'. They smiled. I
went into the kitchen, Esme was serving up food. 'Do you need help?' I
asked.
She handed me knives and forks to set the table. She served
up the food. It smelt so nice. 'What is it?' I asked looking inside the
big pot.
'It is a casserole'. I found a recipe book in the attic and found this'. She smiled looking pleased with herself.
'Dinner
is ready'. She shouted from the kitchen. Everyone came in. Well not
everyone. Granddad, Jacob, sue and me all sat at the table. Alice joined
us in the kitchen to discuss what we were both wearing on Saturday.
'So are you and Jacob going to the dance?' she asked. I and Jacob both kicked her under the table. 'Hey'. She shouted.
'Everyone
be nice'. She gave Alice a look. She smiled at me and Jacob then walked
out of the kitchen. My mom sat down next to me. 'So how have you all
been'? Granddad was asking us lots of questions. He was talking about
how much I had grown. Asking how old I was. Me and mom chuckled. Mom
told granddad my age he didn't look surprised. Just happy to see us. He
was talking about a joint party for me and mom. Alice ran in as soon as
she heard party. Everyone else sighed.
I didn't actually mind a party, mom's face fell and she accused me of taking sides.
'Mom why don't you want a party?' I asked as soon as granddad had left.
'I have had bad experiences with parties'. She sighed.
'Yes but even before that you hated parties'. I said. Alice giggled. Mom shot her a look and she whispered sorry.
'I
don't age so what is the point in having a party, I hate being the
centre of attention'. She moaned. Emmett just laughed hard.
'Yes but Bella this time you won't get hurt, come on have a party'. He said. Rosalie smiled encouraged. Mom backed down.
Jacob
Charlie
had left Bella was sat reading a magazine with Alice and Rosalie. This
was my chance. I got my notepad out and started writing. Bella could we
talk for a minute.
She nodded and stood up. Everyone looked at her
confused. She shook her head at them. They just went back to reading. We
sat in the kitchen.
'Hello Jacob what's up?' she sat at the table
looking at me. I grinned hugging her. I took my notepad out flipping to a
clean page. I wrote hello Bella I am fine, I just wanted to ask you if I
could take Renesmee to the school dance. It is just before Christmas
holidays.
I handed her the notepad. I could see her concentrating on
the words. She finally put it down. 'Thank you for asking me Jacob, I
don't know what Edward would say about this, but I say it is fine. But
just check with Edward when he wakes up. I nodded. Hugging her. 'Oh yeah
Jacob?' she asked. I swung my head round to her.
'Good luck for
tomorrow'. She smiled and hugged me. I walked into the living room.
Everyone was watching the news. I sat with Renesmee, who was reading a
magazine. 'Renesmee don't you have homework?' Bella asked her. She
nodded and ran upstairs. I followed her.
Renesmee
Jacob came in
my room. I could tell by his face it was good. 'She said yes'. I cried.
Jacob smiled then his face went serious. He wrote. Your mom said yes,
but when your dad wakes up it is up to him. I was a little angry at
this. Jacob hugged me and wrote don't worry. We talked for the rest of
the night. Until my mom told me to go sleep anyway.
It was
morning. I was downstairs with Jacob eating breakfast. 'Actually Esme
this isn't bad'. I spooned another mouthful in my mouth. She nodded and
smiled. 'I told you'. She said. I didn't think I would like cereal. The
last one I tried tasted horrible and it put me off. But this one was
chocolate. It was nice. When I finished I washed my bowl up and put it
away. 'Renesmee come on'. Mom shouted from the living room. I hurried
along. Jacob hugged me. He was going to the hospital in an hour.
Carlisle and the new doctor Anna would try to make his voice work. I was
excited. But Carlisle had told me even if it worked it would take at
least three days for him to speak. They were also going to wake my dad
up. Mom was excited about this. He would also have to rest a couple of
days if he woke up to make sure everything was right.
In the car mom
was driving quite slowly. She had the radio turned up high, her window
was wound down. She was singing along to the radio loudly. I didn't mind
because I was in a great mood. School would be annoying; I wanted to
stay with my dad and Jacob.
'Mom why can't I stay?' I asked for the hundredth time. She sighed again.
'I have already explained this a dozen times to you'. She sounded angry.
'Yes but it isn't fair, my dad will wake up. Jacob will be able to talk. I have to be at school'. I moaned. She sighed.
'Because, everyone is suspicious as it is. We can't cause more reasons for people to speak about us'. She hissed. I backed off.
'Mom does that mean we will have to leave soon?' I asked. I didn't want to leave my new friends.
'We
might have to, it depends'. She said. 'We can stay a while; Carlisle
hasn't been to work at the hospital for ten years. We are safe for now'.
She nodded. We turned into the school parking lot. She parked up.
Quickly doing the windows up.
'Bye mom'. I smiled closing the car door.
'Bye Renesmee'. She said pulling out the gates.
Jacob
Everyone
was crowded round Alice. 'Alice what did you see?' Jasper stood next to
her kissing her face. She shook her head and came back to life.
'It's Edward'. She whispered. Everyone crowded round her.
'What about him. Alice'. Jasper was still in front of her.
'He
is going to wake up tomorrow, but there was something else. I didn't
see what it was but it was bad'. She cried. Jasper hugged her. 'Don't
worry Alice'. He said stroking her hair. I sat with her. She looked at
him. 'But something happens'. She screamed. Carlisle came into the room.
'Alice what happened?' he asked taking her hand. 'I saw him wake up,
but he wasn't fully recovered. No matter how much sleep he gets.
Something happens. I didn't see what but'. She trailed off. Everyone
reassured her.
'Come on Jacob time for surgery'. He said. He gave me a nod. I got up and followed him out of the door. I was nervous.
Renesmee
It
was only my third lesson. It felt like forever. The teacher was telling
us abut our art projects and what we would be doing. I wasn't paying
attention to her. I was so worried about Jacob. I wanted to go home but I
still had lunch and two lessons. I wish mom had let me have at least
today off. But people were getting suspicious. Hannah had told me not to
listen to rumours or nonsense. She was sat with me. We had to design a
front page for our art books. She put pens and colouring crayons on the
table. I spent the whole lesson colouring in and making my art book
colourful.
At lunch I was in the library reading. I wasn't hungry,
and people were talking about me. I hid in the bookshelves crying. I
cried for my dad and Jacob and my mom and everything that was going on.
The people talking about me would soon get told. I will send Emmett to
them. They would be scared.
When the bell had gone for my fourth
lesson I slowly walked to the lesson. I didn't want to go but if I
skipped Alice would see me and I would be in trouble. I went to it but I
didn't do any work. Miss Isby sent me to the emergency room. I told the
nurse I felt sick. She let me lay sit in the waiting room with a glass
of water.
'Do you need me to ring your parents'? She asked worriedly.
'No'.
I shouted. She looked suspicious. I immediately sat down. 'No it is OK I
will be fine'. I smiled at her. She looked confused but nodded anyway. I
sat down again closing my eyes. I was actually getting a headache. I
stayed in the emergency room till the last bell rang. 'Ok Renesmee'. The
nurse now had a badge on. Her name was Miss Poil. I giggled at her
name. She gave me a funny look. 'You can go home'. She said going back
inside the office.
I stood in the parking lot waiting for mom. She
was late again. I just watched everyone clear the lot. Finally my mom
came. 'I am sorry Renesmee'. She said smiling apologetic at me.
'It is ok mom'. I sighed getting in the car.
'So, how is Jacob?' I asked. Mom looked at me. She knew I would ask.
'Jacob
is fine. Anna is a very good doctor; she worked closely with Jacob who
can now whisper'. She smiled. I laughed happily, and hugged her.
'Yes
but he has to rest his voice, he can only whisper but he isn't allowed
to do it that much. Anna and Carlisle are keeping a very close eye on
him for a couple of days. But by Sunday he should be able to speak
completely'. She said turning the corner.
'That is great mom, but I thought it could take years for his voice to come back'. I frowned.
'Yes but not everyone has Anna to help them'. She said. I just sat in the car staring out the window. I was so happy.
'Hello everyone'. I shouted when I got inside. No one was around.
'Where is everyone?' I asked mom who joined me.
'Upstairs with your dad'. She said closing the door behind herself.
We
both ran upstairs to dad. He was still unconscious. Anna had her eyes
clothes concentrating on my dad. She said it wouldn't happen straight
the way. It would take a few hours for anything to happen. He might move
or wake. Carlisle took everyone downstairs. 'Come on'. He said.
Grabbing his coat.
Everyone looked at him confused. 'We are going
hunting, come on'. He sounded impatient. Everyone quickly got up and
followed him out of the door. Mom put me on her back. We raced through
the forest, going completely out of Forks. It was cold where we were. A
light dusting of frost covered the grass. I shivered cuddling closer to
mom. We ended up on the mountains right outside of Forks. We all parted,
Emmett and Rosalie went one way. Alice and Jasper went another way.
Carlisle went on his own; Esme was looking after Jacob and cooking
dinner. Me and mom went with Carlisle.
When we met back up again
everyone seemed satisfied. Me and mom had worked together with Carlisle
to find a whole group of snow leopards. I had to stay away till mom and
Carlisle had killed them. Mom helped me with the cubs. When we met up
again everyone was satisfied.
When we got home, we all went to check
on my dad. He hadn't opened his eyes but he could move. He was also sat
up. He was awake, but Anna told us it would be another 4 hours before
anything else happened.
'So he might wake up tonight?' mom asked. Getting excited. Alice squeezed her hand. She smiled at her.
'Yes he should be awake either late tonight or early tomorrow'. She smiled. I hugged mom. She was thankful.
'Anna, how long will it take for Jacob to talk?' I asked.
'I
think you should go and see him'. She smiled. I ran across the corridor
to my room. Jacob was sat on the bed. 'Hello Jacob'. I said hugging
him.
'Hello Renesmee'. He said grinning and hugging me.
'Oh'. I cried. 'You can talk'. I laughed hugging him tighter.
'Renesmee, could you let me breath'. He breathed. I nodded laughing.
Jacob
I
was so happy that I could speak; I would have to do something to pay
Carlisle and Anna back. They really are great doctors. I just sat with
Renesmee talking about the dance. I already knew she was going shopping.
Alice wouldn't shut up about it. We were interrupted by Esme. She had
finished cooking. We both went downstairs to eat. Renesmee only wanted a
small portion, Esme gave Carlisle a look. Because they went hunting. We
both ate our food anyway. Everyone else was upstairs with Edward. He
could now open his eyes and move, but he couldn't walk or talk yet.
Renesmee was happy. I was happy for her. Everyone was in a good mood as
well. Music was on in the living room loud. Alice and Jasper was
dancing. Carlisle told everyone to come back in an hour. They were still
doing things for Edward. So Alice decided to throw a mini party. She
put balloons up and music. Everyone was lively. Emmett and Jasper were
arm wrestling. Rosalie was playing with her new phone. I was dancing
with Renesmee. Twirling her round and catching her.
Finally Carlisle
and Anna came downstairs looking excited. 'Edward has just walked
across the hallway'. Carlisle said. Anna was smiling beside him.
Everyone jumped up laughing and hugging each other. 'Be careful
everyone, he doesn't seem to know where he is'. Carlisle added.
'Can
we see him'? Alice asked. He nodded. Everyone went upstairs to Edward's
room. He was sat on his bed. He looked terrified. Pointing at his
family. Screaming.
'I think he has forgotten who he is'. Anna said. Renesmee went up to him.
'Dad,
it is me'. She said touching his face. He backed away scared. He
mouthed to us all. He couldn't talk yet. He could scream though and that
is what he did. Carlisle and Anna had to inject him to make him sleep.
Bella was crying. Everyone looked hurt.
We all went back downstairs
except Bella who stood by him. Sobbing into his chest. Carlisle was with
her comforting her. Renesmee looked scared.
Renesmee
I couldn't
stop crying. I felt worst for my mom. She sat with my dad all night
sobbing into him. Everyone else was trying to comfort her. Everyone was
so shocked and upset. Anna was very disappointed. Carlisle had told her
it wasn't her fault. She still sulked. Carlisle needed Anna to stay.
They needed to keep an eye on my dad. Anna would try to make him better.
It would take a while though. Jacob was with me all night trying to
make me feel better. He said he would drive me to school tomorrow. I
didn't want to go. I wanted to stay with my dad. I also told Jacob what
everyone at school was talking about. He was so angry. He had to go out
of the house for a while. I just sat in my room crying till I fell
asleep.
It was morning. Mom was still in my dad's room. She sat
by him. He was confused and scared. Flinching away from her. She was
crying again. 'Come on Bella, let Anna work on Edward'. Carlisle said
helping mom up she nodded and went downstairs. I had breakfast with
Jacob then got in the car to drive to school.
Edward
I
didn't understand anything. Where was I? Who were these people with me?
They looked weird. Unusually beautiful. I didn't know if they would hurt
me. I hadn't given them a chance really. I thought I was in a
nightmare. It was creepy. These people were surrounding me, like they
know me; I heard voices in my head. Thoughts. I didn't know who's they
were but it was pretty scary. A woman sat by my bed, sobbing, I didn't
know who she was. A man came into the room every now and again. I
assumed he was a doctor. He tried to explain who he was, who the rest of
the people were. The woman was apparently my wife. But how could she be
I had never seen her before in my life. Then he said something which
shocked me. They were all vampires, and so was I. The doctor gave me a
mirror. I was shocked and scared. I cried. But no tears filled my eyes. I
dry sobbed. The doctor made me walk into the garden. The sun was out,
it was a warm day. Another woman came out with a full length mirror. I
looked into it. I was sparkling. I didn't understand. Why would I
sparkle? I wasn't a vampire, I couldn't be. But when I looked at my
skin, covered in diamonds. I didn't know what to think. Who I was. Or
what I was.

Twilight Saga: Young Love Forever Chapter 2 torn and broken
I saw them coming, the three girls, and Renesmee. I wanted to reach out
to her. Call her name. Hold her and tell her everything is ok. That I
will stay with her forever, and all this was a misunderstanding. I was
so mad at myself. What I had caused. Now as I look over I see Edward
lying still on the floor. His eyes close, his family gathered around him
trying to wake him up. His two brothers's screaming at me. Shaking me
violently. But I couldn't react to this. I was frozen solid. Drowning in
my actions. I could hear what they were saying but my lips wouldn't
move to respond. I wish I could of died right there. But if I died what
would Renesmee do. I know now I would never see her again. But she knew I
was still alive and well. But if I died she knew there would be no
chance of ever seeing me again.
Then the pain hit me. My arm first. Then the rest of my body. I couldn't move at all. Then another voice said. ' Pick him up carefully and put him on this stretcher'. I recognised the voice. It was Carlisle. Why would he help me? When I tried to destroy his life, expose him for what he was. I tried to talk again. My lips moved this time but no sound. ' Now Jacob, can you hear me'. Carlisle asked. I couldn't speak so I tried moving. It hurt but I managed a faint nod. He seemed satisfied by this. They picked me up. I moaned in agony.
'How is he Carlisle'? Bella said. I recognised her voice straight away.
'He has broke almost every bone in his body'. Carlisle replied. I closed my eyes. Trust Bella to care about me, even after everything that as happened. She still cared. I appreciated this.
'What about Edward'? She asked swallowing a lump in her throat. I felt so guilty I wanted to leap up and comfort her. Apologize for everything that had happened.
He paused for a minute. I could hear him sigh loudly. 'Bella, Edward is in a coma'. He said finally. She gasped. Shocked and confused. I tried to speak again but nothing happened. I felt something cold and sharp go into both my arms and my mouth. I had been put asleep.
Renesmee
I was sat next to Jacob holding his hand. He could hardly move. Jasper and Emmett had already told the story twice now. What had happened? My dad had apologized to Jacob. For some reason Jacob got mad, and even Jasper's power couldn't stop it. He phased and then attacked them all. My dad had gotten in the way to stop jasper and Emmett getting hurt. My dad was now in a coma, and Jacob couldn't move at all. Neither of them could tell the real story.
Mom took me home to sleep. I was tired. But I knew I wouldn't sleep. Two of the people I love the most were injured. My dad could be in a coma for a long time. That is what Carlisle said. He could wake up any day but he could never wake up again. Depending how hard he hit his head. Jacob on the other hand was already starting to recover. Carlisle had taken him to their house. He was keeping an eye on him. Updating his morphine doses. He was recovering well. Carlisle had rang my mom about an hour ago to tell her. Jacob still couldn't speak. He had hit his body hard. But in a few weeks he should be ok. I was thankful of this; tomorrow I would get to see him again. But Monday I had school. I hadn't even started the homework.
Jacob
I didn't know what time it was. At least I knew where I was. I was injected with more morphine every two hours; it helped relief the pain for a while. I wish I could talk. I had forgot how to though, I knew I had to move my lips and try to hum words out. It wasn't working. Had I damaged my voice box, or simply forgotten how to talk. Carlisle said to me that I might have to go to a special hospital, so they can teach me how to speak. It will be humiliating. I wanted to see Renesmee. I wonder what she thought of all this, I knew Edward was in a coma; I was reminded every five minutes. Everyone around me was talking about Edward, so I always got the latest on his recovery. He was still unconscious. He hadn't moved at all, Bella had taken Renesmee home to sleep; Rosalie was looking after her, while Bella stayed with Edward. I couldn't take the guilt. It built up inside me eating away at me. I would die inside even if I recovered fully. Bella checked up on me as well. She wasn't angry with me for what happened. She just wanted us both to recover fully. She sometimes sat by my bed, talking to me. Feeding me and helping me do things I couldn't do for now. She spent most of her time with Edward. Please recover Edward. Please.
Renesmee
I woke up the next morning. My mom was near my bed. ' Morning Renesmee'. She smiled sadly. ' How is my dad'? I asked. But I could tell by her face nothing had really changed. ' He is still unconscious, he hasn't shown any signs of waking up'. She held her head down. Her eyes were sad. 'Can we go and see him'. I asked.
' No, we are going hunting'. She said. I wasn't in the mood to hunt at all. But I nodded anyway.
We stopped off at Carlisle's house first, our second home. Everyone else looked as sad as my mom did. Alice wouldn't come out her room, and refused to talk to anyone. She wasn't coming hunting with us. Everyone was dragging their feet round the house. No one really cared about hunting. But we had to go. Billy was coming round to see Jacob today.
I was on my mom's back; Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper were in front of us. Alice had told Jasper to go ahead without her, he refused of course. But she wouldn't let him stay with her. She would go hunting while Billy was here. Emmett and Jasper decided to go somewhere else. Rosalie stayed with us.
We found a herd of deer in the back of the forest. Rosalie dived on two sinking her teeth into them. I followed the two smallest, I cornered them and dived at them. When I had finished I ran back to my mom. She had finished as well. We were ready to go home.
Carlisle had finished with Jacob, Jacob had almost recovered already. He could feed himself now and move his arm and leg. He still couldn't talk. Though. Carlisle was going to refer him to a hospital. He might need surgery. I wanted to see him. Even if he couldn't talk I wanted to hug him. he would still be the same, look the same, and act the same.
Jacob
I could sit up now. My eyes could open fully. I still couldn't speak though. I could feed myself though. This gave me more pride. I heard Carlisle say I would have to go to the hospital. He was on the phone earlier with them, they are coming to get me on Wednesday. I might need surgery. How would I explain the fast recovery. They would expect me to be hospitalised for weeks. I could be fixed in days. But if I had surgery I would be able to speak again.
There was a light knock on my door. I tried to say come in. but I gave up trying. Why did I even try. A face popped round the door grinning. ' hello Jacob'. She said. She looked lovely. She was wearing the necklace I gave her with a wolf pendant. A long black skirt and a long cardigan. Her hair hung loose round her face and her cheeks were all red. She sat on my bed. Making sure she didn't sit on my arm or anything.
' how are you'? she asked. Stupid question really, how do I look to you. I kept it cool though feeling guilty straightaway. I nodded. Then frowned. My face was moving. I could move my face again. I suddenly smiled. She handed me a notepad. smiling at me. I scribbled.
Hello Renesmee, I am so sorry for everything that as happened. I really am. When your dad recovers I will be gone. I don't want to cause you any more pain and hurt. I handed it to her. She frowned stroking my head. Tears filled in her eyes.
You just concentrate on getting better, we will talk about this when you are better. She handed me the pad. I read it. She didn't understand. When I am better I won't be around. I shook my head. She just hugged me tight. ' now, don't do anything you might regret'. She said loudly. I sighed. ' please don't do this Jacob. I need you'. She said. Then she left.
Renesmee
I didn't tell my mom what me and Jacob had talked, well wrote about. She had other problems to deal with. She spent all day with my dad. Talking to him. I kissed him and told him I love him. then I had to leave. Billy was coming round any minute. Esme was in the kitchen cooking. It smelt like fish.
' Hello Billy'. Esme smiled at him. he returned the smile. ' hello. He smiled and waved to everyone. They smiled and waved back.
'smells nice'. He said making small talk. Everyone was polite and smiling even though no one wanted to smile. ' Yes it is fish, your favourite right'. She said. He nodded. She led him into the kitchen.
Carlisle and Emmett brought Jacob downstairs in the stretcher. They lift him on the sofa. Jacob moaned in pain. I sat with him holding his hand. He smiled at me.
Billy came into the living room after lunch. Esme washed the dishes. He sat with Jacob a long time listening to Carlisle. Carlisle was explaining the hospital trip and the operation. Billy was calm about this nodding every now and again.
' Thanks Dr Cullen'. He said after Carlisle had explained everything to him.
'Please, call me Carlisle'. He said smiling. Billy smiled back wheeling himself to the door. Carlisle opened the door for him. ' see you soon'' he said going to his car. We all waved at him. he pulled out waving at us.
Jacob stayed downstairs for the rest of the day. He watched TV all day and even ate some fish left over from lunch. Everyone helped him when he needed them to. I could tell he was frustrated. I stayed with him most of the day.
'Renesmee'. My mom came downstairs and broke the silence, everyone was lounging round the house. Alice and Jasper had gone hunting and still hadn't come back. Rosalie was upstairs with Emmett and Carlisle was watching the sun go down. It got dark early now. But the sight of the sunset was beautiful. Carlisle and Esme had gone out to watch the sun set properly. I had spoke more to Jacob with paper. He wanted me to have a normal life, he would still be around but not as close as before. I laughed. How could I have a normal life if my family are vampires? I begged him not to leave. My mom even had a word with him. but he wouldn't change his mind. If he were hospitalised he would have to stay with us for a while. I would have a little time with him. The day went quite fast. Jacob didn't need any more morphine, he had almost recovered. All the bones in his body had fixed and he could move and even walk a short distance. Carlisle bought him a wheelchair from the hospital. Jacob wanted to go out. If I couldn't see him anymore once he was fixed. I could spend time with him, while he is broken.
Jacob
Renesmee didn't get it. It's not like I don't want to be with her. I do more than anything in the world. It's what I did to her, and her family. She should hate me. She should send me away and never want to see me again. I didn't understand why her family would do all this for me. I didn't deserve it. Everything they had done for me. Carlisle had nursed me to health. He even paid for me to have the operation I needed. Bella was still by my side. Talking to me, comforting me, Renesmee hadn't left me alone all day. She was determined I see things her way. How much I wanted to give in to her and stay. She didn't know this of course. I would soon be gone from her life. She would forget me and move on.
We went out for a walk today, Renesmee was fussing round me, wrapping me up warm. Even though I already was warm. Had she forgotten that I didn't get cold? Or was she thinking any excuse to touch me and be close to me. She had hugged me at least five times in the last hour. I still could tell the time and know what date it was. Thanks to Carlisle. He always told me the date; I had a clock in the room I was sleeping in.
We walked around the streets going into the forest. Renesmee was happily talking about her day. She had finished her homework. The Christmas dance was coming up as well sometime. Hannah had mentioned it. She really hoped I would change my mind. I could see determination in her eyes, her voice also. She went on about how she wanted to have a friend with her through everything. She wanted someone to cry on, someone to go to prom with. Someone to marry, she even said if I never see her again she will never marry and she would rather be alone forever. She was making me feel guilty. I was wearing down.
Renesmee
We got home quite late. My mom waited by the door for me. I wheeled Jacob up the driveway. ' Renesmee, don't scare me like that again'. She said waving her finger at me. She then looked at Jacob who nodded sadly. ' I am sorry mom but I wanted to talk with Jacob'. I said. She raised her eyebrow at me. ' Talk'. She said.
' Well actually I was doing most of the talking, Jacob did answer'. I said pulling a pad of paper out my pocket. She nodded at me. Carlisle came to the door. ' Hello Renesmee, Jacob. Did you have a good time?' he asked. I beamed happy. Carlisle took Jacob upstairs. I gave him a hug and said goodnight to him. He smiled at me and nodded. ' Come on, bed time'. My mom said to me. I climbed on her back and she took us home.
The cottage was scary at night; it was in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by forest and trees. There were a few lights scattered but it was mostly dark. Mom told me to go bed while she heated the cottage up; she turned most of the lights on in the cottage. It was so quiet without my dad. I missed him so much. I didn't get to say good night to him either. My mom wanted me to go straight home with her. She came in to say goodnight.
' Mom'. I said. When we were both quiet.
' Yes'. She finally answered. She had turned the light on.
' What if he never wakes up'? I said. It was meant to sound calm but my voice crumbled.
'I don't know Renesmee'. She said. She had obviously already thought about this because her voice sounded shaky and inpatient.
Everything was quiet for a few minute. My mom was sat with a serious look on her face. She looked like she was about to cry.
'Goodnight Renesmee'. She said. Turning off the light.
'goodnight mom'. I said. She kissed me and turned the light off.
I couldn't sleep. If my dad never woke up. How would my mom cope alone for eternity? How would I live without my dad? I tossed and turned most of the night. Eventually sleeping when the rain started. I cried myself to sleep. My mom had to come in a few times to calm me down.
I woke up. Monday morning. The weather was exactly how I felt. The sky looked black and angry. The rain fell hard on the ground, it looked miserable. My mom wasn't in the best of mood either. She was staring out the window sighing. Her phone was on the floor. I heard her talk to Carlisle last night. It didn't sound very good, he was still unconscious and he hadn't moved at all.
'Morning mom'. I said. Trying to be a little cheery, it didn't come out as I had planned. She just stared at me. Then said 'morning'. Staring out the window again.
I was already dressed and ready to go. I sat on the sofa wondering whether to ask my mom for a lift. She seemed so depressed. After half an hour she got up. 'come on Renesmee, school time'. She got the keys and her coat.
In the car she put the heater on, and the window wipers. We didn't say a word all the time we were gone. Today was going to be a horrible day. My mom was depressed, I was depressed and the day looked depressing. I wasn't in the mood to go school.
'Renesmee'. My mom said her voice making me jump a little. I looked at her, fidgeting with her hair frustrated.
'yes'. I answered.
'we are staying with your granddad and grandma till your dad gets better, I am sorry Renesmee but I can't take it in the house alone'. She said. Turning the corner to my school. I actually didn't mind at all. It would be better at my granddad's house. The atmosphere wouldn't be so sad, and I got to spend more time with Jacob.
I didn't say anything to her. I wanted to cuddle her, and be there for her. I really didn't want to go school.
We finally stopped. 'Renesmee'. My mom called again. 'Yes'. I answered.
'I will have your bags packed when I come to pick you up'. She said.
I got out the car to spend a miserable day at school, I waved my mom goodbye. The rain was still hard. I put my hood on my coat up and walked into the school.
Then the pain hit me. My arm first. Then the rest of my body. I couldn't move at all. Then another voice said. ' Pick him up carefully and put him on this stretcher'. I recognised the voice. It was Carlisle. Why would he help me? When I tried to destroy his life, expose him for what he was. I tried to talk again. My lips moved this time but no sound. ' Now Jacob, can you hear me'. Carlisle asked. I couldn't speak so I tried moving. It hurt but I managed a faint nod. He seemed satisfied by this. They picked me up. I moaned in agony.
'How is he Carlisle'? Bella said. I recognised her voice straight away.
'He has broke almost every bone in his body'. Carlisle replied. I closed my eyes. Trust Bella to care about me, even after everything that as happened. She still cared. I appreciated this.

There was a light knock on my door. I tried to say come in. but I gave up trying. Why did I even try. A face popped round the door grinning. ' hello Jacob'. She said. She looked lovely. She was wearing the necklace I gave her with a wolf pendant. A long black skirt and a long cardigan. Her hair hung loose round her face and her cheeks were all red. She sat on my bed. Making sure she didn't sit on my arm or anything.
' how are you'? she asked. Stupid question really, how do I look to you. I kept it cool though feeling guilty straightaway. I nodded. Then frowned. My face was moving. I could move my face again. I suddenly smiled. She handed me a notepad. smiling at me. I scribbled.
Hello Renesmee, I am so sorry for everything that as happened. I really am. When your dad recovers I will be gone. I don't want to cause you any more pain and hurt. I handed it to her. She frowned stroking my head. Tears filled in her eyes.
You just concentrate on getting better, we will talk about this when you are better. She handed me the pad. I read it. She didn't understand. When I am better I won't be around. I shook my head. She just hugged me tight. ' now, don't do anything you might regret'. She said loudly. I sighed. ' please don't do this Jacob. I need you'. She said. Then she left.
Renesmee
I didn't tell my mom what me and Jacob had talked, well wrote about. She had other problems to deal with. She spent all day with my dad. Talking to him. I kissed him and told him I love him. then I had to leave. Billy was coming round any minute. Esme was in the kitchen cooking. It smelt like fish.
' Hello Billy'. Esme smiled at him. he returned the smile. ' hello. He smiled and waved to everyone. They smiled and waved back.
'smells nice'. He said making small talk. Everyone was polite and smiling even though no one wanted to smile. ' Yes it is fish, your favourite right'. She said. He nodded. She led him into the kitchen.
Carlisle and Emmett brought Jacob downstairs in the stretcher. They lift him on the sofa. Jacob moaned in pain. I sat with him holding his hand. He smiled at me.
Billy came into the living room after lunch. Esme washed the dishes. He sat with Jacob a long time listening to Carlisle. Carlisle was explaining the hospital trip and the operation. Billy was calm about this nodding every now and again.
' Thanks Dr Cullen'. He said after Carlisle had explained everything to him.
'Please, call me Carlisle'. He said smiling. Billy smiled back wheeling himself to the door. Carlisle opened the door for him. ' see you soon'' he said going to his car. We all waved at him. he pulled out waving at us.
Jacob stayed downstairs for the rest of the day. He watched TV all day and even ate some fish left over from lunch. Everyone helped him when he needed them to. I could tell he was frustrated. I stayed with him most of the day.
'Renesmee'. My mom came downstairs and broke the silence, everyone was lounging round the house. Alice and Jasper had gone hunting and still hadn't come back. Rosalie was upstairs with Emmett and Carlisle was watching the sun go down. It got dark early now. But the sight of the sunset was beautiful. Carlisle and Esme had gone out to watch the sun set properly. I had spoke more to Jacob with paper. He wanted me to have a normal life, he would still be around but not as close as before. I laughed. How could I have a normal life if my family are vampires? I begged him not to leave. My mom even had a word with him. but he wouldn't change his mind. If he were hospitalised he would have to stay with us for a while. I would have a little time with him. The day went quite fast. Jacob didn't need any more morphine, he had almost recovered. All the bones in his body had fixed and he could move and even walk a short distance. Carlisle bought him a wheelchair from the hospital. Jacob wanted to go out. If I couldn't see him anymore once he was fixed. I could spend time with him, while he is broken.
Jacob
Renesmee didn't get it. It's not like I don't want to be with her. I do more than anything in the world. It's what I did to her, and her family. She should hate me. She should send me away and never want to see me again. I didn't understand why her family would do all this for me. I didn't deserve it. Everything they had done for me. Carlisle had nursed me to health. He even paid for me to have the operation I needed. Bella was still by my side. Talking to me, comforting me, Renesmee hadn't left me alone all day. She was determined I see things her way. How much I wanted to give in to her and stay. She didn't know this of course. I would soon be gone from her life. She would forget me and move on.
We went out for a walk today, Renesmee was fussing round me, wrapping me up warm. Even though I already was warm. Had she forgotten that I didn't get cold? Or was she thinking any excuse to touch me and be close to me. She had hugged me at least five times in the last hour. I still could tell the time and know what date it was. Thanks to Carlisle. He always told me the date; I had a clock in the room I was sleeping in.
We walked around the streets going into the forest. Renesmee was happily talking about her day. She had finished her homework. The Christmas dance was coming up as well sometime. Hannah had mentioned it. She really hoped I would change my mind. I could see determination in her eyes, her voice also. She went on about how she wanted to have a friend with her through everything. She wanted someone to cry on, someone to go to prom with. Someone to marry, she even said if I never see her again she will never marry and she would rather be alone forever. She was making me feel guilty. I was wearing down.
Renesmee
We got home quite late. My mom waited by the door for me. I wheeled Jacob up the driveway. ' Renesmee, don't scare me like that again'. She said waving her finger at me. She then looked at Jacob who nodded sadly. ' I am sorry mom but I wanted to talk with Jacob'. I said. She raised her eyebrow at me. ' Talk'. She said.
' Well actually I was doing most of the talking, Jacob did answer'. I said pulling a pad of paper out my pocket. She nodded at me. Carlisle came to the door. ' Hello Renesmee, Jacob. Did you have a good time?' he asked. I beamed happy. Carlisle took Jacob upstairs. I gave him a hug and said goodnight to him. He smiled at me and nodded. ' Come on, bed time'. My mom said to me. I climbed on her back and she took us home.
The cottage was scary at night; it was in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by forest and trees. There were a few lights scattered but it was mostly dark. Mom told me to go bed while she heated the cottage up; she turned most of the lights on in the cottage. It was so quiet without my dad. I missed him so much. I didn't get to say good night to him either. My mom wanted me to go straight home with her. She came in to say goodnight.
' Mom'. I said. When we were both quiet.
' Yes'. She finally answered. She had turned the light on.
' What if he never wakes up'? I said. It was meant to sound calm but my voice crumbled.
'I don't know Renesmee'. She said. She had obviously already thought about this because her voice sounded shaky and inpatient.
Everything was quiet for a few minute. My mom was sat with a serious look on her face. She looked like she was about to cry.
'Goodnight Renesmee'. She said. Turning off the light.
'goodnight mom'. I said. She kissed me and turned the light off.
I couldn't sleep. If my dad never woke up. How would my mom cope alone for eternity? How would I live without my dad? I tossed and turned most of the night. Eventually sleeping when the rain started. I cried myself to sleep. My mom had to come in a few times to calm me down.
I woke up. Monday morning. The weather was exactly how I felt. The sky looked black and angry. The rain fell hard on the ground, it looked miserable. My mom wasn't in the best of mood either. She was staring out the window sighing. Her phone was on the floor. I heard her talk to Carlisle last night. It didn't sound very good, he was still unconscious and he hadn't moved at all.
'Morning mom'. I said. Trying to be a little cheery, it didn't come out as I had planned. She just stared at me. Then said 'morning'. Staring out the window again.
I was already dressed and ready to go. I sat on the sofa wondering whether to ask my mom for a lift. She seemed so depressed. After half an hour she got up. 'come on Renesmee, school time'. She got the keys and her coat.
In the car she put the heater on, and the window wipers. We didn't say a word all the time we were gone. Today was going to be a horrible day. My mom was depressed, I was depressed and the day looked depressing. I wasn't in the mood to go school.
'Renesmee'. My mom said her voice making me jump a little. I looked at her, fidgeting with her hair frustrated.
'yes'. I answered.
'we are staying with your granddad and grandma till your dad gets better, I am sorry Renesmee but I can't take it in the house alone'. She said. Turning the corner to my school. I actually didn't mind at all. It would be better at my granddad's house. The atmosphere wouldn't be so sad, and I got to spend more time with Jacob.
I didn't say anything to her. I wanted to cuddle her, and be there for her. I really didn't want to go school.
We finally stopped. 'Renesmee'. My mom called again. 'Yes'. I answered.
'I will have your bags packed when I come to pick you up'. She said.
I got out the car to spend a miserable day at school, I waved my mom goodbye. The rain was still hard. I put my hood on my coat up and walked into the school.
Young Love Forever chapter 1
'Go away'. I mumbled under my bed covers. The familiar voice trying to
wake me was my dad. Edward. He sighed and said. 'Come on Renesmee, time
to get up'. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I touched my dads face to tell
him to leave me alone; He sighed again and disappeared, returning with
my mom. She sat next to me stroking my head. ‘Come on sweetheart'. She
sang, her voice calm, unlike my dads. Firm.
I gave in with a sigh. Today was my first day of school since I was 2, I had been home schooled by my granddad Carlisle. Because of my fast growth. I am 4 years old but have the physical age of a 13 year old. My growth is slowing a little bit and in two years it will stop altogether. My granddad was very good at home-schooling me.
He as had years of practice. My family held a meeting about my future education. My dad and Carlisle thought it was the right time to send me to a proper school. My grandma Esme reassured my mom and she eventually gave in. that’s why I'm getting ready for my first day at forks high school. I looked out my window hoping the weather was on my side. It was cloudy, just like Alice had predicted. I opened my closet full of clothes, and settled for my long white shirt and an old pair of pants. I heard my parents whispering quietly. ‘Oh Renesmee, your up'. My mom jumped up when she saw me, and hugged me.
‘Do you want a lift or are you going with Jacob'? She asked packing my bag. Just then the door burst open. Jacob stood in the living room beaming at me ' is it OK if I take her'? He asked running across the room to me pulling me into a hug.
Of course'. My mom smiled at us. ‘Are you hungry Renesmee'? My dad asked me. Jacob answered for me.
‘I thought we could go hunting before class he looked at me. My dad looked at me and Jacob disapprovingly. ‘Renesmee you know me and your mom want you to have a human lifestyle'. My dad started. 'Despite the speed of your growth, we want you to eat some normal human foods'. He finished. They handed me a bag, I looked inside and there sure enough human food. I pushed it away frowning. ‘Renesmee please'. My dad’s voice was strong. I sighed putting it in my bag ' hello'. The door opened and Alice bounced up to me throwing her arms round me. ‘Good luck'. She sang. Quickly followed by the rest of my family. My aunties Alice and Rosalie, my uncles jasper and Emmett and of course my grandparents Carlisle and Esme. All looking at me proudly. ‘We wanted to see you off'. Alice said. ‘You don’t mind do you'? She frowned at my mother and dad. ‘No of course not'. My mom smiled back
'Come on Nessie'. Jacob got up impatient to get out the door. I followed him saying goodbye to everyone as I went. Rosalie brushed my long curled hair carefully and hugged me.
I joined Jacob in the car. It smelt new, and freshly polished.
‘New car'? I asked him as he pulled out of the driveway and drove down the road. I could just see my family in the distance.
‘Yeah, your dad wanted me to get a reliable car to take you places'. He said focusing carefully on the road. ‘When’? I asked puzzled. Jacob had been with me all day yesterday. He did go out with my dad for three hours.
‘You lied'. I said hurt. Jacob looked at me apologetic. ‘I didn’t lie; we wanted it to be a surprise
So what did happen yesterday'? I asked.
'When your dad took me out the room he told me that he had been talking to your mom about getting you a car for your birthday. But you wouldn’t be able to drive for two years which I thought was unfair, so I suggested a new car for me to keep you safe and make your parents happy, so your dad bought me a car to drive you till your 6 when you will be physically 16 then the cars yours.
I beamed at him excitedly. ‘Oh Jacob, it’s beautiful'. I cried he loved the reactions I made, his grin reached all the way across his face. ‘Here we are' he pulled up in the parking lot. People were already making their way inside. ‘Am I late'? I asked suddenly panicking
‘No your fine, you have five minutes'. He reassured me. I got out the car with my backpack and Jacob followed. ‘Here’. He handed me a small peach coloured cell phone. ‘Listen to your voice messages'. He said stepping away from me. I obeyed him. I had five. The first from my mom and dad saying they love me and have a nice day, the others pretty much said the same thing but from my aunt’s uncles and grandparents. I closed the cell phone, Jacob reappeared.
Do you want me to come inside with you'? He asked. The good thing about Jacob is he always lets me make decisions unless my dad is in on it. But he always tries his best, that’s why we are so close. ‘Yes please'. I was relieved when he followed me inside. I went up to the main reception office.
‘Hello, can I help you'? A short red haired woman behind the desk looked at me through her glasses.
‘Yes, I'm Renesmee Cullen, a new student'. I answered clearly.
‘Oh yes, right'. She mumbled my name a few times whilst looking through files. Eventually she found mine. The woman who's name was Mrs Cope handed me two pieces of paper.
‘Here is your map of the school'. She said pushing one of the pieces of paper towards me.
‘And this is your schedule'. She pushed the other piece of paper at me.
‘Thanks’. I smiled politely. Just then the bell rang. I took my schedule out, and followed Jacob to my first class. ‘Have a nice day Nessie'. He smiled
I took a seat at the back of the class and waited for the teacher.
‘Hey are you new here'. I heard a voice say. I turned to it and a dark brown haired girl was staring at me. She was short, and a little chubby. ‘Yes, my name is Renesmee'. I answered smiling at her. ‘I’m Annie'. She said holding her hand out to me. Then awkwardly
Folding it to her chest.
The day was going fast; I made a few more friends in my other lessons. Annie stayed with me all day showing me round talking to me. Asking me questions like what music does I like, what do my parents do. I just said they were students and she gave me a dirty look. Hannah and Dean were in my English classes and a few others they were really nice, smiling at me and asking questions. They didn't give me dirty looks. Annie was in nearly all the
Same classes as me. At lunch time when Hannah and Dean sat with me instead of Annie she gave me more dirty looks. I just decided I would ignore her as much as I could.
At the end of the day Jacob was waiting outside my biology class. As soon as he saw me he grinned pulling me into a hug. ‘How was your day'. He asked as we walked to the car. It was great. Actually I made a few friends'. I smiled remembering Hannah and Dean's kindness and then Annie. I made a sour look mentioning her name. I didn't like her much.
‘No boyfriends, I hope'. He teased. Jacob was very protective over me.
‘No, just a few friends. Hannah, Dean and Annie'. I said.
We got into the car ready to pull out when Hannah came up to the car and tapped on the window. Jacob rolled the windows down. ‘Hey what's up'. I asked
‘I forgot to give you my phone number, and here is Dean's. Don't worry about Annie she just likes to be the most popular girl at school'. Hannah handed me a piece of paper.
‘Bye’. She skipped off.
‘Annie’. Jacob asked. He thought for a minute
‘Annie James'. He asked me. I didn't know her last name so he described her.
‘She as long dark brown hair, kind of chubby'. He asked again. I giggled at that and nodded. ‘God I hate that girl'. He said driving out of the school gates. He seemed a little annoyed. ‘How do you know Annie'. I asked him.
‘She is Emily's cousin, I used to have to babysit her when she was little, really cheeky girl'. He shook his head. I decided to leave it. For the rest of the drive, we just small talked. Jacob asked me what I did at school, and did I eat my lunch. I just told him I ate some of it but didn't like much of it except the pizza and candy bar. Jacob threw the rest in the bin before we got to my house.
‘Oh honey how was your day'. My mom ran out the door, if she could cry I think she would of. ‘It was OK'. I said suddenly yawning. ‘Lets get you inside'. She pulled me towards the house. Most of my family were gathered in the living room staring at the TV. When they saw me they stood up. I noticed my dad wasn't around neither was my uncle Emmett or Jasper. ‘How was your day'. They all asked together. Then they started laughing. ‘It was good; I made some friends, and thanks for the messages'. I took the peach cell phone out of my pocket.
‘We thought you would like it'. My mom answered. ‘Did you enjoy your lunch'. She asked me. ‘Erm, it was OK'. I didn't want to lie to her. She seemed please with that.
‘Where’s my dad'. I asked noticing he wasn't around.
‘He is going to be late, he went hunting with Emmett'. She said.
‘Hello Renesmee'. My grandmother and granddad came into the living room. I sunk into the leather sofa. ‘Haven’t you got homework to do?' My mother asked me. I sighed. I was tired I just wanted to relax. ‘Yes but I can do it later'. I said
‘No, now'. My mom shook her head at me. There was a knock at the door. ‘Hey’. Jacobs’s voice said behind the door. My mother opened the door. ‘Hi everyone'. He smiled at me and my mother. I jumped up and threw my arms round him.
‘Renesmee, homework'. My mother's voice was firm this time.
‘I will help you if you want'. Jacob offered. My mom smiled at us.
'Have fun'. She said as we went upstairs to my room.
‘Hey so your going to help me'. I asked Jacob who was opening the window.
‘No, we aren't doing your homework till later'. He said.
‘What, why'. I was confused.
‘Because you are going out, with me'. He smiled.
‘We can't just escape, my mother and dad will go crazy'.
‘Yeah well I will handle them'. He said. He took my hand and helped me out of the window.
He lowered me down on to the shed. Then I dropped into the garden. Jacob took my hand and we ran until we got to the field. I stopped for a minute.
‘My parents are going to go crazy'. I panted sitting down for a minute.
‘Come on'. Jacob grabbed my hand impatiently.
‘Can we wait for a minute, I need to sit down'. I was still panting. Jacob just sighed and sat down on the grass next to me. ‘Oh no'. I suddenly jumped up.
‘What’. Jacob looked worried.
‘Alice’. I said as a shuffling noise came out the bush. Alice had followed us.
‘Found them'. She shouted looking annoyed.
‘Oh god'. Jacob put his hands to his face.
A few minutes later my mother and dad came out of the bush looking very angry. I was in deep trouble. ‘Hold it there Renesmee'. My dad said strongly. I froze, my dad got to me quicker than I could run. Not like I dared to. Jacob stood in front of me. My dad stood opposite him. ‘It was my idea'. Jacob said looking at my dad.
‘Oh was it'. My dad said. ‘In that case you are grounded'. He said that in a voice that I couldn't argue with. Even my mother quivered a little. I looked at her for help.
‘No, don't try to get out of this, you are grounded, and you can't see Jacob, apart from school, and hunting. I sulked. ‘Take me home'. I mumbled. My dad came up to me scooped me onto his back and ran me home.
‘You know that is very dangerous. What if you hurt yourself? How would we of found you'. My mom was in my face screaming. Carlisle took her away from me to calm down. Jacob was sent home. My dad was pacing the floor. ‘I’m sorry '. I said, and I really was. I didn't want to be grounded, kept inside having to do everything supervised.
‘Yes well sorry isn't good enough for what you just did, your mother is right. What if you had hurt yourself, we only want what's best for you'. My dad looked me straight in the eye. ‘You must promise to never do this again'.
‘I promise'. I said quickly. My dad looked a little bit happier.
‘But it wasn't actually my fault'. I said.
‘Renesmee, sit down please'. He said. I did as I was told and he sat next to me looking at me.
‘I hope you don't think we are being mean, when Jacob first saw you, he imprinted on you'. He said. ‘Do you know what that means'. He asked.
‘No’. I shook my head
‘Well it means that he as found his soul mate in you; I allowed this to happen even though your mother had no idea. I allowed this because I thought Jacob would respect us and look after you. After today I am not sure any more’. He said.
‘What is that suppose to mean?'. I asked close to tears
‘Renesmee please don't cry'. My dad put his arm round me.
‘Please don't do this, please'. I pleaded. My dad sighed his face stiffened.
‘I’m sorry Renesmee, one day you will understand'. He said walking away.
‘Please don't please'. I pleaded tears rolled down my face. So that was it, my best friend wasn't allowed to see me, except for school. My mother didn't seem like she would change my mind and they didn't know what was best for me otherwise they wouldn't be doing this.
I just spent the rest of the night in my room. My mom and dad came in every now and again. I talked more with my dad. All he said was until he talked to Jacob and he proved
Himself to my mother and dad that was final. I had no idea what this would mean or anything. All I knew was I lost my best friend, and I felt so lonely. I refused food and when my mother and dad asked me if I wanted to go hunting I just said no. I eventually fell asleep.
'What'. I whispered when I felt someone shaking me. I sat up and Jacob was sat on my bed. ‘I am so sorry'. He said hugging me.
‘Jacob please go, you are already in trouble if they catch us they will never let us see each other again'. I pleaded with him. He just shook his head. ‘I couldn't leave without saying goodbye'. He smiled
‘Wait, leave'. I asked.
‘Yeah after today, I am only allowed to see you at school. Tomorrow will be the last day I see you till Tuesday. Your dad is taking me away to talk; we are going away for a few days'. He whispered
‘So I won't see you all weekend'. I asked
‘No, I'm sorry Renesmee for getting you in trouble'. He said. He hugged me and then disappeared out of the window. I was so annoyed I just laid down trying to go sleep. I couldn't get relaxed enough. I was thinking what my dad would say to Jacob, what would happen after. I wouldn't want to be without my best friend.
The next morning I came downstairs. My dad was sat watching TV. ‘Morning Renesmee'. My mom said brightly. I wasn't in the mood to talk so I shrugged and went straight outside to Jacob. He hugged me. ‘Renesmee. Come back in the house'. My dad said. I walked in holding hands with Jacob. My dad gave him dirty looks, Jacob just smiled politely.
‘Go upstairs and get ready please Renesmee'. My dad said.
I got dressed and washed. I could hear my family downstairs arguing. Jacob would probably be in a bad mood when we got out. I was dreading the weekend with my family it would be very long.
I went back downstairs to Jacob. He looked annoyed. ‘Are you ready'? He asked. I nodded and he pulled me out of the house and into the car. My parents stood outside waving
‘Are you OK'? I asked trying to grab his hand; he pulled his hand back quickly.
‘Jacob please tell me what is wrong'. I pleaded him. He looked at me as if I should know what was wrong. ‘Can we not talk about it'? He asked. I shook my head and he sighed. ‘Renesmee I said I was sorry for last night, I begged for this not to happen'. He said.
‘What do you mean'? I asked.
‘Your dad wants me and him to go away for the weekend to talk, he as been talking to your mom and they are thinking about moving away, because of the age stuff'. He looked down. I was so angry I bit my lip to stop myself breaking something. I would have a word with my mom when I got home. ‘Aren’t you going to be here all weekend'? I asked. Jacob shook his head.
The day went slow, like it was being dragged along the floor kicking and screaming. I didn't care about school today or anything else for that matter. I wanted to shout at my dad, that what he was doing was wrong. Jacob is my best friend just because he did one little thing. I really was sorry for this. He knew that. Yet he wanted to drag me away from Jacob forever. He knew how that felt himself when he told me his story of him losing my mom. When he thought she had died twice, and when he went away to keep her safe. He said to me he never wanted me to go through what they had. But if he did this he would make me feel what he did. I would rather die than lose Jacob.
At lunch my friends were chatting about the half term break. They were making plans for the prom next year. I wasn't paying attention I was wrapped up in my own problems. No one really included me in the conversation. I think that is because I had an annoyed look on my face, Dean asked me if I am OK and if I wanted to talk then I could. But I knew I wouldn't be able to without revealing our secret. I just said thanks and Hannah nodded as if to say I can talk to her.
After lunch it started raining. Our English teacher gave us an essay. 200 pages of what we did this summer. I didn't know what to do. If I wrote about what I did it would expose my family for what they really were. I decided I would write a story of about a girl who lived in a fantasy land. Mr Mach said that would be a very imaginative idea. I was safe, nobody really believed in fantasy so my story would just be a story as long as I didn't put too much detail into it. Science wasn't much better; we were welcomed to the New Year. Then we had to do a front page for the new science project. Anatomy. We had to bring in a poster of the human anatomy, labelled.
After school my mom was waiting for me in the parking lot. I got in. ' where is Jacob'. I asked.
‘He went away for a couple of days for with your dad'. She said turning the engine on. It was still raining so she turned the heater on. ‘Oh’. Was all I could say? My mother knew I was upset. She could always tell. ‘Don’t worry you will see him Tuesday''. She said. I sulked in the car.
‘Will I see him Tuesday?' I asked.
‘Of course you will Renesmee; your dad is talking to him. Not sending him away'. She said.
‘Why was Jacob really pissed today?' I asked.
‘He is afraid, the same reason you are. That he will never see you again'. She said. We were nearly home. ‘Would you like to go somewhere this weekend, take your mind off of your dad and Jacob?' she asked. I knew what she was on about.
Ever since I was little my mother had shown me this place. It was beautiful. My mother and dad used to go there a lot. My auntie Alice had shown me a few good shops there. Behind the shops were mountains and forests full of lions, bears and deer's. I love it there.
‘Can we camp there this weekend?' I asked getting excited.
‘Sure we can'. She smiled. Noticing my tone changing. ‘I already told Alice and Rosalie we were going there. They are packing now'. She said.
‘What about grandma and granddad, Emmett and Jasper'? Asked.
‘Emmett is coming, Jasper isn't and neither is your granddad or grandmother'. She said.
‘oh so what are they doing?' I didn't like leaving people behind.
‘I don't know Nessie but they aren't coming'. She signed getting impatient with me. I had said something that either offended her or hurt her. I decided to leave it. Mom was the one who said something. ‘I’m sorry Renesmee, it’s all this between Jacob and your dad'. She sighed. ‘It’s caused arguments between me and your dad; he said things that weren't very nice. I was swore not to tell you but I don't think it is fair'. She said.
‘Tell me'. I begged.
My mom was quite easy to get round. My dad wasn't at all. ‘OK’. She started.
‘Before your dad left. He said half expect Jacob to not come back. I didn't understand what that meant at the time, so obviously I asked him. He just said he was very angry with Jacob. But he wouldn't kill him, just talk to him, and hopefully persuade him to move away, away from you and everyone he cares about. I told him it was selfish. He said he was looking out for his daughter and that he thought it was best. Esme, Rosalie and Alice stuck up for you, saying it is ridiculous to take it this far. He didn't do much. Your dad wasn't convinced he said you were his daughter and his actions apply. I said you can't just tell Jacob to stay away from everyone he loves. He just said I can do what I like. So I feel so sorry for Jacob, and you'. She looked at me. I had tears in my eyes. I had hardly spoken to Jacob today. He knew this was going to happen. Maybe my dad had already spoke to him briefly and he knew it was goodbye. Why didn't he hug me or say goodbye? He pretty much ignored me most of the car journey. Tears rolled down my face.
‘I want to go home and straight to my room'. I said. Wiping my eyes.
‘Oh Renesmee please don't cry'. She pleaded. I think she was very upset about this as well. Jacob was her best friend many years ago and they still had a good friendship even though my dad didn't really approve. I put my hood up and stared out the window the rest of the journey home. I could feel my mother's eyes on me. She sighed a few times, and then we were home.
I ran inside and straight upstairs still crying. Alice came upstairs to me trying to soothe me. I didn't want company. ‘Please talk to me Renesmee'. She pleaded with me as well. I shook my head. ‘I know how it feels Renesmee, love heals over time'. She said.
‘Please Alice leave me alone'. I asked her sinking my head into my pillow.
She sighed but left me alone; she came back minutes later with a bagel and a muffin
‘OK if you want to talk just find me'. She said. Everyone left me alone for the rest of the day. My mom came in about half seven to check on me.' Are you OK'. She asked. I sniffled.
‘You know I went through exactly the same thing, so if you want to talk. I am here for you'. She said sitting on my bed. I looked at her. She was smiling at me. ‘why would he do this, if he knew how it felt, why would he put me through this?'
‘I don't know sweetheart but he only wants the best for you, he doesn't want this to happen, he is protecting you'. She said stroking my hair. My hair was wet with tears.
‘But I don't need protecting I need my best friend'. I cried.
‘I know sweetheart well we will have to wait and see what happens Tuesday'. She said.
‘I take it you don't want to go to the rain forest then'? My mom asked me.
‘Actually mom, can we go tomorrow?' I asked.
‘Sure we can'. She smiled shutting my door behind her.
I lay in bed. Hurt. I felt punctured. Like someone had punched me in the stomach and I was winded. I couldn't sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night, crying myself to sleep. I got out of bed and looked through my photos. They were in order. First it showed my parents. At my mom's eighteenth birthday. She looked so human, healthy, and content. She was frowning at the camera. Next was my dad. He was smiling at the camera. I found a few more of my family all smiling and happy at my dad's house. Until the accident that sent my dad and family away forever. I loved hearing the stories of when she saved him, when he went away and she described in details how she felt about it. The reckless things she did to hear his voice. It was so romantic. Then I came across the photos of me and Jacob. A few of me when I was a baby. On my birthday's with my family, and the one where we went on our first camping trip. Jacob fell into the river fully dressed. He came out frowning, I couldn't stop laughing. My mom was also there, and my dad they also thought it was hilarious. But my favourite picture, of Jacob grinning. His face was in a tight grin. His eyes were wide and smiling too. He looked funny. It was my favourite picture. I took it out and put it to my chest. I sobbed louder talking to the picture.
‘I hope my dad doesn't stop us seeing each other, please don't. Please. Jacob please don't let him'. I sobbed wetting my pillow and the photo. I eventually fell asleep.
It was seven O clock in the morning. I ate a few cookies and sipped my juice. My parents were rushing around me packing their cases. Mom already packed mine while I was asleep. Emmett was trying to cheer me up by making jokes but I wasn't in the mood. Eventually he left me alone again. Rosalie was packing their things together, Jasper agreed to come after Alice had begged him all morning trying to guilt him but Jasper was acting like Alice had no affect on him, eventually he got sick of her begging and agreed. Carlisle and Esme were happy to have the house to themselves for the weekend. Everyone was chaotic around me packing things rushing around. I just finished my food and went upstairs. I picked up Jacobs picture that was on my pillow creased up. I stuffed it into my pocket. ‘Come on Renesmee'. My mom said giving Emmett the suit cases to put in the car. He took them from Jasper and my mom and put them in the car. I got up and got my little bag for my toiletries. My mom took it off me and put it in the car. I got in the car and did my belt up.
Emmett started the car behind us. Rosalie was doing her make up in the mirror. Jasper and Alice got into the car I was in. Alice was with me and Jasper was in the back with me. It was very quiet. Alice and Jasper kept gazing at each other and I felt sick watching. My mum finally got into the car and started the engine.
The drive to Resort rainforest has it's called. Is a straight drive through the forest? It started raining half way there. I loved the sound of the rain on the window. Mom put the wipers on. They swished against the rain. It only took us an hour and twenty minutes to get there in the car. We normally parked the car and went up to our tree. I have been going to that tree since I was five. So we called it our tree. It was the perfect place to camp. The grass was smooth and cut short. The branches covered that part of the grass which kept the sun off us all, and the rain off the grass.
We finally arrived there silent. Hardly anyone spoke a word to anyone. Jasper and Alice just stared into each others eyes smiling the whole time. My mum spoke. But mostly to me asking every ten minutes if I am OK which I answered the same every time. I told Jasper and Alice to cut it out but they wouldn't they just ignored me and carried on as if I hadn't said anything.
We parked the car and paid for the ticket to stay. Then we walked up the hill to the camp site. Our tree was at the side of the camp site just passed all of the wooden cabins. I would love to stay there once but I loved being outside more. Unless the weather was really stormy or really sunny. Then we stayed at home.
When we got to our tree Emmett and Jasper put up the tents. Rosalie and Alice just looked over the hill at the sight.
It was a beautiful sight. Especially at night. The street lights scattered all over town. Little cottage houses hung in rows neatly. If you looked over the houses you could see countryside. It spread for miles over the horizon. Even though it was six O clock. Street lights were starting to come on. They were blurred by the rain. Mom lit the tent inside with a lantern. Rosalie was the first in the tent moaning about the rain. Alice just sat at the top of the hill with Jasper staring at the view.
I was warm in the tent with the light and warmth from the small battery powered heating. Mom had bought more blankets for me. She didn't mind the cold or wet. She was always cold to touch. It was nice in the summer. Though Forks didn't really have summers much. When it did they were pretty hot. The winters were bad. Full of ice and rain and snow. I hated the snow. It was too cold and my nose always went red. Emmett always called me Rudolph. I lay in my blanket now warm and cosy with my book. Mom had gone outside to find some dried wood for a fire. Even though it would be hard to find dried wood when it was raining in the forest. I was alone. Everyone else was outside the tent gathering things for the fire or like Jasper and Alice. Talking quietly in the other part of the tent. I turned over and looked at my phone. It was now half past six. I was already tired and hungry. Maybe this trip wasn't as exciting as I had thought.
I pulled the crumpled picture of Jacob out my pocket. He was grinning at me. It was a fake grin now. No way would he be happy knowing what is happening. I wish I could know what was going to happen. Alice. I could ask her if anything as happened. I got out of my blankets and opened the tent door. The rain was still going and the clouds were black. I put on my coat and went over to Alice's tent. She was whispering to Jasper and giggling.
‘Alice, could you do me a favour'. I asked. She shook her head.
‘Sorry Nessie. Your dad promised me not to tell you anything'. She said.
‘Please Alice. Please. Just for piece of mind'. I pleaded with her. Alice sighed pulling away from Jasper who frowned. She took my hand and led me back to my tent.
We sat down. She put her hands in her lap and said. ‘OK I have been keeping a look out of your dad and Jacob. Jacob was impossible to see and your dad knows I’m spying so he is being careful. He has made a decision, and is returning with Jacob'. She nodded at me.
I was so happy. Maybe this weekend wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I was happy and smiling. I wanted to talk to Jacob, throw my arms round him and tell him he was my best friend for life. I was so happy. But if they had made the decision why did my mom say they were going to be back on Tuesday. I think my dad knew I knew what was happening so why take so long. I couldn't get a signal on my phone. I wanted to ring Jacob so badly. I could actually go down hill and ring him. Though my dad and mom would go mad.
Mom was finally back from collecting wood. She had a armful, followed by Emmett who had two armfuls. They put the wood down on a dry patch. Then they added the dry grass and twigs and other things to it. Then they lit it. The flames flew up straight away. Warming me up. Everyone gathered round the fire even though they didn't need it. They just sat staring at it. The rain had slowed now only dripping.
‘Mom, could I ring Jacob'. I asked suddenly making everyone jump. She turned to Alice and frowned. ‘Alice you promised you wouldn't tell'. She said. Alice turned to me and said. ‘Renesmee be patient. We don't want to hear any more'. This dampened my mood. I went back into the tent closing it behind me. ‘Renesmee’. My mom shouted after me.
‘Go away'. I sulked. Why did parents have to stop everything? It's like they don't care at all how you feel.
‘Renesmee, your dad rang about an hour ago'. She said.
‘How could he I can't get a signal on my phone'. I said.
‘I was collecting wood and went up to the cabins were the signal is high'. She said.
‘Can I go down there and send one text?' I asked.
‘Renesmee’. My mom snapped. I mumbled under my breath.
‘Your dad has a surprise for you tomorrow'. She said.
I didn't say anything. She went back to doing what she had before.
Later that night after we went hunting. We all went separate ways. I found a small deer in the woods, Emmett and Jasper came back with grins on their faces so obviously they enjoyed themselves. My mom also looked better than before. We didn't say anything about hunting though. We just sat round the fire again. It was dark now, and the rain had stopped. It smelt damp though and the tree we were under dripped on us occasionally. I yawned and everyone turned to me. I broke the silence.
‘So what are we going to do'?
‘I think you should go bed'. My mom said.
‘But we haven't done anything today'. I moaned.
‘We are going hiking tomorrow and swimming'. Mom said. That cheered me up a little. I was a little tired though and cold.
Everyone else was still sat round the fire talking quietly. I went into my tent again and settled down. I flipped my phone checking everything. No text or missed call. Sleep was taking over me. I was suddenly exhausted. I closed my eyes.
I woke up the next morning at half past five. Mom was in the same tent as me. There was a light on in Emmett and Rosalie's tent but Alice and Jasper's were dark. I got out of the tent and heated up the fire. Mom came out the tent with her book.
‘Morning Renesmee'. She said hugging me. I snuggled up to her still tired. She just pulled me away for a second. ‘Are you OK?' she asked. I nodded saying I missed Jacob. Which I did. I went back inside my tent and went sleep again.
I woke up again it was brighter, the sun was out now and my mum had a blanket wrapped round her body, she was wearing big sunglasses that covered most of her face, and a scarf covered the rest. I could tell she was sparkling. She only dressed like this when she sparkled. I was also a little sparkly. But I could pass it off as make up.
I checked my phone; it had a one bar signal. It was only half past seven. I got out to see where everyone else was. Alice was sat on jasper’s knee looking at the fire. When she saw me she smiled. ‘Morning Renesmee’. She said.
‘Morning’. I squeaked. She backed off still holding me at arms length.
‘We are going shopping in about ten minutes’. She said. ‘Go get ready’.
‘I thought we were going hiking?’ I asked.
‘Do you think we want to show ourselves like this?’ she pointed to her thin arms, they looked liked diamonds.
‘Good point, but no one is around’. I said looking round. No one was around. We were alone.
‘I don’t want to hear anymore get ready’. She said in a strict voice. It made me a little worried. Why did she want me to go with her so badly? Normally she would ask me if I wanted to go shopping, if I said no she would shrug and say ‘ suit yourself’ and bounce off with Rosalie. Maybe it was the surprise my mom was talking about. I didn’t argue or back talk anymore.
In my tent I got dressed, mom put some sunglasses on me too and a sun hat. She kissed me goodbye. ‘Come on Renesmee’. Alice said from outside the tent. I sighed and joined her.
The day went quite quickly, shopping with Alice, my mind was still on Jacob. But now I knew what was happening I wasn’t so upset. Alice took me to lots of different clothes stores. Actually she dragged me in them. She bought make up necklaces, bracelets earrings and shoes. She then bought me necklaces bracelets earrings and shoes. I didn’t even care about fashion. But you can never say no to Alice anyway.
She then took us to clothes shops. We spent four and a half hours in one shop. I was bored and tired. But Alice wanted me to help her decide between a silver dress with puffy sleeves, or black jeans with a white long sleeve top and body warmer. I didn’t care so I chose the body warmer. Alice wasn’t satisfied though. In the end she chose both.
‘Alice can we go back to camp now?’ I moaned. My feet were hurting from standing up so much, and my eyes were sleepy. Alice shook me away for a second disappearing into the changing room.
When she came out she said. ‘Yes we can go home’. On the way home she was smiling. She looked happy. She never looked this happy even when we spent all day shopping. She didn’t answer when I asked either.
When we got back to camp. Rosalie was sulking. ‘What is the matter Rose’? Alice asked.
‘Why wasn’t I invited to your shopping trip?’ she sulked. Alice sighed. Rosalie made a noise in her throat. Alice threw me into the tent. ‘Ooow’. I screamed when I landed on my arm and it crunched underneath me. My mom came out the tent and growled at Alice. Rosalie stood behind my mom and growled. Jasper sprung to Alice’s side quickly. Emmett was the only person to come to me.
‘You guys stop being so childish, Renesmee needs help’. He said. Everyone came to my side. My mom was shouting at Alice to ring Carlisle. ‘Does this hurt’? Emmett squeezed my arm. ‘Ouch’. I whined. Emmett untied his jumper from his waist tying it round my arm and round my neck. ‘I think she broke it’. Emmett said.
‘No clues to where you found that out’. Rosalie said sarcastic. Everyone gave Rosalie a dirty look. ‘We need to get her home’. Emmett said. He gathered me in his arms holding my arm carefully. He ran through the camp all the way home. My mom was close behind me. I could see a blur of her.
‘Let me have a look at that’. Carlisle said taking Emmett’s jumper off me.
He pressed my arm and asked if it hurt. I winced in pain. ‘Emmett get me the ice pack’. He said calmly. Emmett returned seconds later with the ice pack. I was in so much pain it made me feel a little dizzy. Carlisle took a torch and shone it in my eyes. ‘She seems ok, Renesmee how do you feel?’ he asked. A little dizzy’. I said.
‘Ok Renesmee I will give you something for that’. Carlisle said.
After twenty five minutes Emmett took the ice pack off my arm. I felt a little better sipping the water Emmett gave me. My mom was on the phone to my dad.
Carlisle wrapped my arm in a sling. ‘There you go’. He said tightening the sling round my neck. He gave me a couple of tablets for the pain. I sat on the sofa watching TV. Annoyed that I had to stay home, I wasn’t allowed to go swimming or hiking anymore. Mom promised as soon as my arm was fixed we would go back. But Carlisle said that could be weeks away. I felt so guilty for ruining everyone’s weekend. Even though when I asked them they said it wasn’t my fault.
My dad came home. My mom had told him what happened and he got home as quick as he could. No Jacob. I didn’t want a lot of fuss. I was angry and upset even though I knew Alice’s visions weren’t always right. My dad refused to tell me where he was, and I went up to my room and shut my door.
My mom came up to me later that day to give me my phone and my photo of Jacob I took with me. She asked if I wanted food. Which I didn’t, and if my dad could talk to me later. I wasn’t in the mood for talking but if it was about Jacob I could make an exception.
‘Hello dad’. I said. When the door opened.
‘Hello Renesmee how is your arm’? He asked.
‘It is better thanks;I don’t care about my arm’. I said. My dad sat at the end of my bed looking around the room. He looked like he didn’t want to tell me.
‘Please dad, tell me’. I begged. He sighed and began.
‘OK Renesmee I take it Alice gave in and told you Jacob was coming back?’ he asked. I nodded.
‘ well he was, Jacob was very sorry and apologised lots of times, I realised how much he cared for you, and how heartbroken I was when this happened to your mother and me. I forgave him. Then Jacob decided to push his luck and ask me for your hand in marriage. I flipped out. You are five years old Renesmee, even if you look fourteen you are five. I was so angry and sickened by this. Jacob formed into a wolf because he was angry that I thought he was sick. He just thought it meant that you can care for that person. But you don’t know what you want. We got into an argument and Jacob ran off away from my thoughts, the last one I heard was stay away else. I didn’t want to know what the else was for your sake Renesmee’. He looked at the floor, like he was ashamed. If he could blush I think he would be right now.
‘But we can’t leave him out there alone, especially when he is angry. He could do anything’. I said half sobbing half shouting.
‘Renesmee it isn’t up to you to deal with this. He is a grown man. He can take care of himself’. My dad hung his head down, but his eyes were fixed on me. His voice was firm and clear. Like he was trying to put a point across, that was making him inpatient. His eyes were angry. Though the colour of them didn’t look angry. Looking at the deep topaz colour made me shiver.
‘Does this mean I might not see him again?’ I stumbled. My dad nodded slowly at me his eyes thrown to the floor. I was sobbing again. I knew he was serious. When he looked at me his eyes were cold, he was ashamed of what happened. He knew what had happened had broken me in pieces just like he did when he left my mom. He described so many times how he felt. He said he never wanted me to feel like that. I started sobbing. He put his arm round me and I buried my head in his chest.
‘Please don’t cry Renesmee’. He said lifting my head. He wiped my eyes.
‘Why? I have lost my best friend what is there to be happy about?’I shouted feeling irritated.
My dad sighed and went out the room. I just lay alone in the dark staring out the window. It was still raining. So I opened the window to listen. I heard a knock on the door. It made me jump.
‘Can I come in please Renesmee?’ my mom said on the other side of the door.
‘Yes’. I said rubbing my eyes and shutting the window. She came in closing the door behind her. She wrapped her arms around me and I let it all out again.
‘Mom what if I never see Jacob again’. I spluttered into her chest.
‘I don’t know Renesmee, I have been trying to ring him but it keeps going to the answer machine’. She said
‘He really doesn’t want to talk to anyone. Wait what if I try on my phone, he knows my number’. I said jumping up and grabbing my phone.
I dialled the number. It just went straight to answer phone so I just said. ‘please Jacob ring me. Don’t be angry at me’. Then pressed the end call button.
There was a knock on the door, but this time the front door. I heard voices. It was Seth. I hadn’t seen him for a few months. When I went to see Emily, Seth was always there with everyone else. But why was he here now?
‘Hello Renesmee’. Seth said when I got to the door. Everyone else was crowded round, probably thinking the same thing I was.
‘Hello Seth, what are you doing here?’ I asked.
‘I was heading to Emily’s and heard what had happened. I was wondering if you were ok, and would you like to come to Emily’s?’ he asked
‘Have you heard anything from Jacob?’ I asked.
‘I tried to connect to him, but he ran away’. He said shuffling in the doorway.
‘ I am sorry Seth but I don’t feel like going out at the minute, tell Emily I will visit soon though’. I said. He shrugged and hugged me.
‘ Well I guess I will see you soon then’. He said
‘ Yeah sure, bye Seth’. I said. Shutting the door
Jacob
I sat by the river skimming stones into the water. Yeah I was mad. How could I not be. I did feel bad for Seth, just because I was annoyed I shouldn’t of took it out on him. I should say sorry. But who knows where I am going to live now. I couldn’t take Forks anymore. Too many memories good and bad. I wish I could of said goodbye to Renesmee, I can’t believe I will never see her again. I wonder if she will get on with her life, forget me. Meet someone else. It would probably be easy for her to forget me. I though, would never forget her. Even the slightest thing reminded me of her. Like the wind, when it blew her hair round her face she always frowned. The colour of the sunset . So bright and beautiful reminded me of her eyes. She was my world my whole life, now she would be someone else’s. I could never go back. I did always promise if I was away from her for even a day I would want to kill myself. That’s exactly what I was going to do. I just hadn’t decided how yet.
Renesmee
After I had closed the door. I wish I had gone to see Emily. It would take my mind off Jacob. Now I was walking round the house. Sulking. My parents wanted me to go hunting. But I wasn’t even in the mood for that. Although I was very thirsty. But all I wanted was for Jacob to come back. I ended up going upstairs to my room. I could be alone and let it all out.
‘Hello Renesmee’. A voice said by the door. It was jasper. I quickly sat up rubbing my eyes. ‘ Come in’. I choked.
He opened the door and came in. ‘ I am sorry about all of this Renesmee’. He said.
‘ Has Alice seen anything else?’ I asked. He nodded. I waited for him to talk.
‘ She has seen something, but it is blurred. She said I might be able to help’. He said.
‘ How’? I asked.
‘ Well, Alice knows where Jacob is, she had a vision I would go to see him. We were all confused why I would go. Then the pieces connected. I was the only one who could calm Jacob down and make him see sense. She seen other things but she can’t make them out yet’. He said.
‘ Oh Jasper are you going to go see Jacob’. I screamed. Happily. He nodded. I threw my arms round him. ‘ Thank you Jasper’. I said. He smiled embarrassed. We both went downstairs. Everyone else was crowded round Alice. Asking her what she saw. Her face was blank. Her lips trembled. She let out a little cry. ‘ What happened Alice’. Jasper shot straight to her side. ‘ Someone is going to get injured. I didn’t see all of the face but I recognise them. I couldn’t see anymore. But I think it is one of us’. She said. Jasper squeezed her. ‘ It is ok Alice’. He said hugging her. Everyone except Rosalie who was now doing her hair. Hugged Alice.
When it was time for Jasper to leave. Alice hugged him close still shook up from her vision. ‘ Don’t worry Alice’. Jasper had said this a million times. Alice wasn’t convinced though.
‘ Alice, would you feel better if someone came with me’. He said finally. She nodded.
‘Emmett, Edward. Would you come with me? Alice is really worried’. Jasper asked.
Emmett and my dad both nodded. Emmett and kissed Rosalie, and Esme. Carlisle just put his hand on Emmett’s shoulder. My dad kissed my mom and Esme. ‘ Take care please’. Esme said coming into the hallway with Carlisle. Carlisle nodded at them both. We watched them go out the door.
Jacob
I saw them in the distance. I was sure it was them. The boys had come to sort it out with me. I had nothing to say to anyone. I didn’t want to start a fight or argument. I didn’t really want company at all but if they started a fight. I would defend myself.
‘Hello Jacob’. Jasper said smiling slightly. He was polite. I felt my anger wear away.
‘ Hello Jasper’. I had said. ‘ Emmett, Edward’. I said nodding at them.
Edward had stepped in front of his brother. I growled slightly at him. Edward just carried on smiling politely at me. ‘ I am sorry about our little misunderstanding’. He said. I spat.
‘ Little understanding, you call this little. You have basically destroyed my world, and you call it little’. I screamed. Emmett stepped in front of Edward who said. ‘ I can handle myself Emmett’. He stepped back a little.
‘ I was being polite to you but if you want it this way then I guess I don’t need to be polite’. He said. I was boiling inside I couldn’t help myself I was growling still and shaking.
‘ Stay away from me’. I hissed at them. They all hissed back baring their teeth at me. I ran to the lake and changed. I could no longer talk but I could still think. I knew what I had wanted to do. When he had left Bella that time. All the anger was coming back to me. I launched myself at them.
Renesmee
We were sat in the living room. Alice suddenly gasped. We all watched her face as it creased up like she was in pain. Seconds later she came back to life. ‘ Alice what did you see my mom asked. Carlisle and Esme had gone hunting together.
‘ We have to get to the forest fast’. She said jumping up. My mom also jumped up
‘ There has been an accident, Jacob attacked your father for some reason. It isn’t very clear. But we have to go up there’. She said to my mom who nodded.
‘ Can I come’? I asked. Already knowing the answer. My mom shook her head.
‘ It is too dangerous for you’. She said.
Alice quickly told Rosalie what had happened. She rushed to the door with Alice.
‘ Renesmee you are going to have to come’. My mom sighed. ‘ ButI want you to stay back from what is happening’. She said. I nodded.
On our way to the forest. Alice led the way. Talking on the phone to Jasper. I couldn’t hear what they were saying. My mom looked worried so I knew it would be bad. Alice handed the phone to Rosalie to talk to Emmett she sighed in relief that he was ok. Alice’s face looked dark. Something bad had happened.
When we arrived everyone was crowded round something I couldn’t see what it was. My mom told me to stay at the edge of the forest. It was foggy so I couldn’t see.
I gave in with a sigh. Today was my first day of school since I was 2, I had been home schooled by my granddad Carlisle. Because of my fast growth. I am 4 years old but have the physical age of a 13 year old. My growth is slowing a little bit and in two years it will stop altogether. My granddad was very good at home-schooling me.
He as had years of practice. My family held a meeting about my future education. My dad and Carlisle thought it was the right time to send me to a proper school. My grandma Esme reassured my mom and she eventually gave in. that’s why I'm getting ready for my first day at forks high school. I looked out my window hoping the weather was on my side. It was cloudy, just like Alice had predicted. I opened my closet full of clothes, and settled for my long white shirt and an old pair of pants. I heard my parents whispering quietly. ‘Oh Renesmee, your up'. My mom jumped up when she saw me, and hugged me.
‘Do you want a lift or are you going with Jacob'? She asked packing my bag. Just then the door burst open. Jacob stood in the living room beaming at me ' is it OK if I take her'? He asked running across the room to me pulling me into a hug.
Of course'. My mom smiled at us. ‘Are you hungry Renesmee'? My dad asked me. Jacob answered for me.
‘I thought we could go hunting before class he looked at me. My dad looked at me and Jacob disapprovingly. ‘Renesmee you know me and your mom want you to have a human lifestyle'. My dad started. 'Despite the speed of your growth, we want you to eat some normal human foods'. He finished. They handed me a bag, I looked inside and there sure enough human food. I pushed it away frowning. ‘Renesmee please'. My dad’s voice was strong. I sighed putting it in my bag ' hello'. The door opened and Alice bounced up to me throwing her arms round me. ‘Good luck'. She sang. Quickly followed by the rest of my family. My aunties Alice and Rosalie, my uncles jasper and Emmett and of course my grandparents Carlisle and Esme. All looking at me proudly. ‘We wanted to see you off'. Alice said. ‘You don’t mind do you'? She frowned at my mother and dad. ‘No of course not'. My mom smiled back
'Come on Nessie'. Jacob got up impatient to get out the door. I followed him saying goodbye to everyone as I went. Rosalie brushed my long curled hair carefully and hugged me.
I joined Jacob in the car. It smelt new, and freshly polished.
‘New car'? I asked him as he pulled out of the driveway and drove down the road. I could just see my family in the distance.
‘Yeah, your dad wanted me to get a reliable car to take you places'. He said focusing carefully on the road. ‘When’? I asked puzzled. Jacob had been with me all day yesterday. He did go out with my dad for three hours.
‘You lied'. I said hurt. Jacob looked at me apologetic. ‘I didn’t lie; we wanted it to be a surprise
So what did happen yesterday'? I asked.
'When your dad took me out the room he told me that he had been talking to your mom about getting you a car for your birthday. But you wouldn’t be able to drive for two years which I thought was unfair, so I suggested a new car for me to keep you safe and make your parents happy, so your dad bought me a car to drive you till your 6 when you will be physically 16 then the cars yours.
I beamed at him excitedly. ‘Oh Jacob, it’s beautiful'. I cried he loved the reactions I made, his grin reached all the way across his face. ‘Here we are' he pulled up in the parking lot. People were already making their way inside. ‘Am I late'? I asked suddenly panicking
‘No your fine, you have five minutes'. He reassured me. I got out the car with my backpack and Jacob followed. ‘Here’. He handed me a small peach coloured cell phone. ‘Listen to your voice messages'. He said stepping away from me. I obeyed him. I had five. The first from my mom and dad saying they love me and have a nice day, the others pretty much said the same thing but from my aunt’s uncles and grandparents. I closed the cell phone, Jacob reappeared.
Do you want me to come inside with you'? He asked. The good thing about Jacob is he always lets me make decisions unless my dad is in on it. But he always tries his best, that’s why we are so close. ‘Yes please'. I was relieved when he followed me inside. I went up to the main reception office.
‘Hello, can I help you'? A short red haired woman behind the desk looked at me through her glasses.
‘Yes, I'm Renesmee Cullen, a new student'. I answered clearly.
‘Oh yes, right'. She mumbled my name a few times whilst looking through files. Eventually she found mine. The woman who's name was Mrs Cope handed me two pieces of paper.
‘Here is your map of the school'. She said pushing one of the pieces of paper towards me.
‘And this is your schedule'. She pushed the other piece of paper at me.
‘Thanks’. I smiled politely. Just then the bell rang. I took my schedule out, and followed Jacob to my first class. ‘Have a nice day Nessie'. He smiled
I took a seat at the back of the class and waited for the teacher.
‘Hey are you new here'. I heard a voice say. I turned to it and a dark brown haired girl was staring at me. She was short, and a little chubby. ‘Yes, my name is Renesmee'. I answered smiling at her. ‘I’m Annie'. She said holding her hand out to me. Then awkwardly
Folding it to her chest.
The day was going fast; I made a few more friends in my other lessons. Annie stayed with me all day showing me round talking to me. Asking me questions like what music does I like, what do my parents do. I just said they were students and she gave me a dirty look. Hannah and Dean were in my English classes and a few others they were really nice, smiling at me and asking questions. They didn't give me dirty looks. Annie was in nearly all the
Same classes as me. At lunch time when Hannah and Dean sat with me instead of Annie she gave me more dirty looks. I just decided I would ignore her as much as I could.
At the end of the day Jacob was waiting outside my biology class. As soon as he saw me he grinned pulling me into a hug. ‘How was your day'. He asked as we walked to the car. It was great. Actually I made a few friends'. I smiled remembering Hannah and Dean's kindness and then Annie. I made a sour look mentioning her name. I didn't like her much.
‘No boyfriends, I hope'. He teased. Jacob was very protective over me.
‘No, just a few friends. Hannah, Dean and Annie'. I said.
We got into the car ready to pull out when Hannah came up to the car and tapped on the window. Jacob rolled the windows down. ‘Hey what's up'. I asked
‘I forgot to give you my phone number, and here is Dean's. Don't worry about Annie she just likes to be the most popular girl at school'. Hannah handed me a piece of paper.
‘Bye’. She skipped off.
‘Annie’. Jacob asked. He thought for a minute
‘Annie James'. He asked me. I didn't know her last name so he described her.
‘She as long dark brown hair, kind of chubby'. He asked again. I giggled at that and nodded. ‘God I hate that girl'. He said driving out of the school gates. He seemed a little annoyed. ‘How do you know Annie'. I asked him.
‘She is Emily's cousin, I used to have to babysit her when she was little, really cheeky girl'. He shook his head. I decided to leave it. For the rest of the drive, we just small talked. Jacob asked me what I did at school, and did I eat my lunch. I just told him I ate some of it but didn't like much of it except the pizza and candy bar. Jacob threw the rest in the bin before we got to my house.
‘Oh honey how was your day'. My mom ran out the door, if she could cry I think she would of. ‘It was OK'. I said suddenly yawning. ‘Lets get you inside'. She pulled me towards the house. Most of my family were gathered in the living room staring at the TV. When they saw me they stood up. I noticed my dad wasn't around neither was my uncle Emmett or Jasper. ‘How was your day'. They all asked together. Then they started laughing. ‘It was good; I made some friends, and thanks for the messages'. I took the peach cell phone out of my pocket.
‘We thought you would like it'. My mom answered. ‘Did you enjoy your lunch'. She asked me. ‘Erm, it was OK'. I didn't want to lie to her. She seemed please with that.
‘Where’s my dad'. I asked noticing he wasn't around.
‘He is going to be late, he went hunting with Emmett'. She said.
‘Hello Renesmee'. My grandmother and granddad came into the living room. I sunk into the leather sofa. ‘Haven’t you got homework to do?' My mother asked me. I sighed. I was tired I just wanted to relax. ‘Yes but I can do it later'. I said
‘No, now'. My mom shook her head at me. There was a knock at the door. ‘Hey’. Jacobs’s voice said behind the door. My mother opened the door. ‘Hi everyone'. He smiled at me and my mother. I jumped up and threw my arms round him.
‘Renesmee, homework'. My mother's voice was firm this time.
‘I will help you if you want'. Jacob offered. My mom smiled at us.
'Have fun'. She said as we went upstairs to my room.
‘Hey so your going to help me'. I asked Jacob who was opening the window.
‘No, we aren't doing your homework till later'. He said.
‘What, why'. I was confused.
‘Because you are going out, with me'. He smiled.
‘We can't just escape, my mother and dad will go crazy'.
‘Yeah well I will handle them'. He said. He took my hand and helped me out of the window.
He lowered me down on to the shed. Then I dropped into the garden. Jacob took my hand and we ran until we got to the field. I stopped for a minute.
‘My parents are going to go crazy'. I panted sitting down for a minute.
‘Come on'. Jacob grabbed my hand impatiently.
‘Can we wait for a minute, I need to sit down'. I was still panting. Jacob just sighed and sat down on the grass next to me. ‘Oh no'. I suddenly jumped up.
‘What’. Jacob looked worried.
‘Alice’. I said as a shuffling noise came out the bush. Alice had followed us.
‘Found them'. She shouted looking annoyed.
‘Oh god'. Jacob put his hands to his face.
A few minutes later my mother and dad came out of the bush looking very angry. I was in deep trouble. ‘Hold it there Renesmee'. My dad said strongly. I froze, my dad got to me quicker than I could run. Not like I dared to. Jacob stood in front of me. My dad stood opposite him. ‘It was my idea'. Jacob said looking at my dad.
‘Oh was it'. My dad said. ‘In that case you are grounded'. He said that in a voice that I couldn't argue with. Even my mother quivered a little. I looked at her for help.
‘No, don't try to get out of this, you are grounded, and you can't see Jacob, apart from school, and hunting. I sulked. ‘Take me home'. I mumbled. My dad came up to me scooped me onto his back and ran me home.
‘You know that is very dangerous. What if you hurt yourself? How would we of found you'. My mom was in my face screaming. Carlisle took her away from me to calm down. Jacob was sent home. My dad was pacing the floor. ‘I’m sorry '. I said, and I really was. I didn't want to be grounded, kept inside having to do everything supervised.
‘Yes well sorry isn't good enough for what you just did, your mother is right. What if you had hurt yourself, we only want what's best for you'. My dad looked me straight in the eye. ‘You must promise to never do this again'.
‘I promise'. I said quickly. My dad looked a little bit happier.
‘But it wasn't actually my fault'. I said.
‘Renesmee, sit down please'. He said. I did as I was told and he sat next to me looking at me.
‘I hope you don't think we are being mean, when Jacob first saw you, he imprinted on you'. He said. ‘Do you know what that means'. He asked.
‘No’. I shook my head
‘Well it means that he as found his soul mate in you; I allowed this to happen even though your mother had no idea. I allowed this because I thought Jacob would respect us and look after you. After today I am not sure any more’. He said.
‘What is that suppose to mean?'. I asked close to tears
‘Renesmee please don't cry'. My dad put his arm round me.
‘Please don't do this, please'. I pleaded. My dad sighed his face stiffened.
‘I’m sorry Renesmee, one day you will understand'. He said walking away.
‘Please don't please'. I pleaded tears rolled down my face. So that was it, my best friend wasn't allowed to see me, except for school. My mother didn't seem like she would change my mind and they didn't know what was best for me otherwise they wouldn't be doing this.
I just spent the rest of the night in my room. My mom and dad came in every now and again. I talked more with my dad. All he said was until he talked to Jacob and he proved
Himself to my mother and dad that was final. I had no idea what this would mean or anything. All I knew was I lost my best friend, and I felt so lonely. I refused food and when my mother and dad asked me if I wanted to go hunting I just said no. I eventually fell asleep.
'What'. I whispered when I felt someone shaking me. I sat up and Jacob was sat on my bed. ‘I am so sorry'. He said hugging me.
‘Jacob please go, you are already in trouble if they catch us they will never let us see each other again'. I pleaded with him. He just shook his head. ‘I couldn't leave without saying goodbye'. He smiled
‘Wait, leave'. I asked.
‘Yeah after today, I am only allowed to see you at school. Tomorrow will be the last day I see you till Tuesday. Your dad is taking me away to talk; we are going away for a few days'. He whispered
‘So I won't see you all weekend'. I asked
‘No, I'm sorry Renesmee for getting you in trouble'. He said. He hugged me and then disappeared out of the window. I was so annoyed I just laid down trying to go sleep. I couldn't get relaxed enough. I was thinking what my dad would say to Jacob, what would happen after. I wouldn't want to be without my best friend.
The next morning I came downstairs. My dad was sat watching TV. ‘Morning Renesmee'. My mom said brightly. I wasn't in the mood to talk so I shrugged and went straight outside to Jacob. He hugged me. ‘Renesmee. Come back in the house'. My dad said. I walked in holding hands with Jacob. My dad gave him dirty looks, Jacob just smiled politely.
‘Go upstairs and get ready please Renesmee'. My dad said.
I got dressed and washed. I could hear my family downstairs arguing. Jacob would probably be in a bad mood when we got out. I was dreading the weekend with my family it would be very long.
I went back downstairs to Jacob. He looked annoyed. ‘Are you ready'? He asked. I nodded and he pulled me out of the house and into the car. My parents stood outside waving
‘Are you OK'? I asked trying to grab his hand; he pulled his hand back quickly.
‘Jacob please tell me what is wrong'. I pleaded him. He looked at me as if I should know what was wrong. ‘Can we not talk about it'? He asked. I shook my head and he sighed. ‘Renesmee I said I was sorry for last night, I begged for this not to happen'. He said.
‘What do you mean'? I asked.
‘Your dad wants me and him to go away for the weekend to talk, he as been talking to your mom and they are thinking about moving away, because of the age stuff'. He looked down. I was so angry I bit my lip to stop myself breaking something. I would have a word with my mom when I got home. ‘Aren’t you going to be here all weekend'? I asked. Jacob shook his head.
The day went slow, like it was being dragged along the floor kicking and screaming. I didn't care about school today or anything else for that matter. I wanted to shout at my dad, that what he was doing was wrong. Jacob is my best friend just because he did one little thing. I really was sorry for this. He knew that. Yet he wanted to drag me away from Jacob forever. He knew how that felt himself when he told me his story of him losing my mom. When he thought she had died twice, and when he went away to keep her safe. He said to me he never wanted me to go through what they had. But if he did this he would make me feel what he did. I would rather die than lose Jacob.
At lunch my friends were chatting about the half term break. They were making plans for the prom next year. I wasn't paying attention I was wrapped up in my own problems. No one really included me in the conversation. I think that is because I had an annoyed look on my face, Dean asked me if I am OK and if I wanted to talk then I could. But I knew I wouldn't be able to without revealing our secret. I just said thanks and Hannah nodded as if to say I can talk to her.
After lunch it started raining. Our English teacher gave us an essay. 200 pages of what we did this summer. I didn't know what to do. If I wrote about what I did it would expose my family for what they really were. I decided I would write a story of about a girl who lived in a fantasy land. Mr Mach said that would be a very imaginative idea. I was safe, nobody really believed in fantasy so my story would just be a story as long as I didn't put too much detail into it. Science wasn't much better; we were welcomed to the New Year. Then we had to do a front page for the new science project. Anatomy. We had to bring in a poster of the human anatomy, labelled.
After school my mom was waiting for me in the parking lot. I got in. ' where is Jacob'. I asked.
‘He went away for a couple of days for with your dad'. She said turning the engine on. It was still raining so she turned the heater on. ‘Oh’. Was all I could say? My mother knew I was upset. She could always tell. ‘Don’t worry you will see him Tuesday''. She said. I sulked in the car.
‘Will I see him Tuesday?' I asked.
‘Of course you will Renesmee; your dad is talking to him. Not sending him away'. She said.
‘Why was Jacob really pissed today?' I asked.
‘He is afraid, the same reason you are. That he will never see you again'. She said. We were nearly home. ‘Would you like to go somewhere this weekend, take your mind off of your dad and Jacob?' she asked. I knew what she was on about.
Ever since I was little my mother had shown me this place. It was beautiful. My mother and dad used to go there a lot. My auntie Alice had shown me a few good shops there. Behind the shops were mountains and forests full of lions, bears and deer's. I love it there.
‘Can we camp there this weekend?' I asked getting excited.
‘Sure we can'. She smiled. Noticing my tone changing. ‘I already told Alice and Rosalie we were going there. They are packing now'. She said.
‘What about grandma and granddad, Emmett and Jasper'? Asked.
‘Emmett is coming, Jasper isn't and neither is your granddad or grandmother'. She said.
‘oh so what are they doing?' I didn't like leaving people behind.
‘I don't know Nessie but they aren't coming'. She signed getting impatient with me. I had said something that either offended her or hurt her. I decided to leave it. Mom was the one who said something. ‘I’m sorry Renesmee, it’s all this between Jacob and your dad'. She sighed. ‘It’s caused arguments between me and your dad; he said things that weren't very nice. I was swore not to tell you but I don't think it is fair'. She said.
‘Tell me'. I begged.
My mom was quite easy to get round. My dad wasn't at all. ‘OK’. She started.
‘Before your dad left. He said half expect Jacob to not come back. I didn't understand what that meant at the time, so obviously I asked him. He just said he was very angry with Jacob. But he wouldn't kill him, just talk to him, and hopefully persuade him to move away, away from you and everyone he cares about. I told him it was selfish. He said he was looking out for his daughter and that he thought it was best. Esme, Rosalie and Alice stuck up for you, saying it is ridiculous to take it this far. He didn't do much. Your dad wasn't convinced he said you were his daughter and his actions apply. I said you can't just tell Jacob to stay away from everyone he loves. He just said I can do what I like. So I feel so sorry for Jacob, and you'. She looked at me. I had tears in my eyes. I had hardly spoken to Jacob today. He knew this was going to happen. Maybe my dad had already spoke to him briefly and he knew it was goodbye. Why didn't he hug me or say goodbye? He pretty much ignored me most of the car journey. Tears rolled down my face.
‘I want to go home and straight to my room'. I said. Wiping my eyes.
‘Oh Renesmee please don't cry'. She pleaded. I think she was very upset about this as well. Jacob was her best friend many years ago and they still had a good friendship even though my dad didn't really approve. I put my hood up and stared out the window the rest of the journey home. I could feel my mother's eyes on me. She sighed a few times, and then we were home.
I ran inside and straight upstairs still crying. Alice came upstairs to me trying to soothe me. I didn't want company. ‘Please talk to me Renesmee'. She pleaded with me as well. I shook my head. ‘I know how it feels Renesmee, love heals over time'. She said.
‘Please Alice leave me alone'. I asked her sinking my head into my pillow.
She sighed but left me alone; she came back minutes later with a bagel and a muffin
‘OK if you want to talk just find me'. She said. Everyone left me alone for the rest of the day. My mom came in about half seven to check on me.' Are you OK'. She asked. I sniffled.
‘You know I went through exactly the same thing, so if you want to talk. I am here for you'. She said sitting on my bed. I looked at her. She was smiling at me. ‘why would he do this, if he knew how it felt, why would he put me through this?'
‘I don't know sweetheart but he only wants the best for you, he doesn't want this to happen, he is protecting you'. She said stroking my hair. My hair was wet with tears.
‘But I don't need protecting I need my best friend'. I cried.
‘I know sweetheart well we will have to wait and see what happens Tuesday'. She said.
‘I take it you don't want to go to the rain forest then'? My mom asked me.
‘Actually mom, can we go tomorrow?' I asked.
‘Sure we can'. She smiled shutting my door behind her.
I lay in bed. Hurt. I felt punctured. Like someone had punched me in the stomach and I was winded. I couldn't sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night, crying myself to sleep. I got out of bed and looked through my photos. They were in order. First it showed my parents. At my mom's eighteenth birthday. She looked so human, healthy, and content. She was frowning at the camera. Next was my dad. He was smiling at the camera. I found a few more of my family all smiling and happy at my dad's house. Until the accident that sent my dad and family away forever. I loved hearing the stories of when she saved him, when he went away and she described in details how she felt about it. The reckless things she did to hear his voice. It was so romantic. Then I came across the photos of me and Jacob. A few of me when I was a baby. On my birthday's with my family, and the one where we went on our first camping trip. Jacob fell into the river fully dressed. He came out frowning, I couldn't stop laughing. My mom was also there, and my dad they also thought it was hilarious. But my favourite picture, of Jacob grinning. His face was in a tight grin. His eyes were wide and smiling too. He looked funny. It was my favourite picture. I took it out and put it to my chest. I sobbed louder talking to the picture.
‘I hope my dad doesn't stop us seeing each other, please don't. Please. Jacob please don't let him'. I sobbed wetting my pillow and the photo. I eventually fell asleep.
It was seven O clock in the morning. I ate a few cookies and sipped my juice. My parents were rushing around me packing their cases. Mom already packed mine while I was asleep. Emmett was trying to cheer me up by making jokes but I wasn't in the mood. Eventually he left me alone again. Rosalie was packing their things together, Jasper agreed to come after Alice had begged him all morning trying to guilt him but Jasper was acting like Alice had no affect on him, eventually he got sick of her begging and agreed. Carlisle and Esme were happy to have the house to themselves for the weekend. Everyone was chaotic around me packing things rushing around. I just finished my food and went upstairs. I picked up Jacobs picture that was on my pillow creased up. I stuffed it into my pocket. ‘Come on Renesmee'. My mom said giving Emmett the suit cases to put in the car. He took them from Jasper and my mom and put them in the car. I got up and got my little bag for my toiletries. My mom took it off me and put it in the car. I got in the car and did my belt up.
Emmett started the car behind us. Rosalie was doing her make up in the mirror. Jasper and Alice got into the car I was in. Alice was with me and Jasper was in the back with me. It was very quiet. Alice and Jasper kept gazing at each other and I felt sick watching. My mum finally got into the car and started the engine.
The drive to Resort rainforest has it's called. Is a straight drive through the forest? It started raining half way there. I loved the sound of the rain on the window. Mom put the wipers on. They swished against the rain. It only took us an hour and twenty minutes to get there in the car. We normally parked the car and went up to our tree. I have been going to that tree since I was five. So we called it our tree. It was the perfect place to camp. The grass was smooth and cut short. The branches covered that part of the grass which kept the sun off us all, and the rain off the grass.
We finally arrived there silent. Hardly anyone spoke a word to anyone. Jasper and Alice just stared into each others eyes smiling the whole time. My mum spoke. But mostly to me asking every ten minutes if I am OK which I answered the same every time. I told Jasper and Alice to cut it out but they wouldn't they just ignored me and carried on as if I hadn't said anything.
We parked the car and paid for the ticket to stay. Then we walked up the hill to the camp site. Our tree was at the side of the camp site just passed all of the wooden cabins. I would love to stay there once but I loved being outside more. Unless the weather was really stormy or really sunny. Then we stayed at home.
When we got to our tree Emmett and Jasper put up the tents. Rosalie and Alice just looked over the hill at the sight.
It was a beautiful sight. Especially at night. The street lights scattered all over town. Little cottage houses hung in rows neatly. If you looked over the houses you could see countryside. It spread for miles over the horizon. Even though it was six O clock. Street lights were starting to come on. They were blurred by the rain. Mom lit the tent inside with a lantern. Rosalie was the first in the tent moaning about the rain. Alice just sat at the top of the hill with Jasper staring at the view.
I was warm in the tent with the light and warmth from the small battery powered heating. Mom had bought more blankets for me. She didn't mind the cold or wet. She was always cold to touch. It was nice in the summer. Though Forks didn't really have summers much. When it did they were pretty hot. The winters were bad. Full of ice and rain and snow. I hated the snow. It was too cold and my nose always went red. Emmett always called me Rudolph. I lay in my blanket now warm and cosy with my book. Mom had gone outside to find some dried wood for a fire. Even though it would be hard to find dried wood when it was raining in the forest. I was alone. Everyone else was outside the tent gathering things for the fire or like Jasper and Alice. Talking quietly in the other part of the tent. I turned over and looked at my phone. It was now half past six. I was already tired and hungry. Maybe this trip wasn't as exciting as I had thought.
I pulled the crumpled picture of Jacob out my pocket. He was grinning at me. It was a fake grin now. No way would he be happy knowing what is happening. I wish I could know what was going to happen. Alice. I could ask her if anything as happened. I got out of my blankets and opened the tent door. The rain was still going and the clouds were black. I put on my coat and went over to Alice's tent. She was whispering to Jasper and giggling.
‘Alice, could you do me a favour'. I asked. She shook her head.
‘Sorry Nessie. Your dad promised me not to tell you anything'. She said.
‘Please Alice. Please. Just for piece of mind'. I pleaded with her. Alice sighed pulling away from Jasper who frowned. She took my hand and led me back to my tent.
We sat down. She put her hands in her lap and said. ‘OK I have been keeping a look out of your dad and Jacob. Jacob was impossible to see and your dad knows I’m spying so he is being careful. He has made a decision, and is returning with Jacob'. She nodded at me.
I was so happy. Maybe this weekend wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I was happy and smiling. I wanted to talk to Jacob, throw my arms round him and tell him he was my best friend for life. I was so happy. But if they had made the decision why did my mom say they were going to be back on Tuesday. I think my dad knew I knew what was happening so why take so long. I couldn't get a signal on my phone. I wanted to ring Jacob so badly. I could actually go down hill and ring him. Though my dad and mom would go mad.
Mom was finally back from collecting wood. She had a armful, followed by Emmett who had two armfuls. They put the wood down on a dry patch. Then they added the dry grass and twigs and other things to it. Then they lit it. The flames flew up straight away. Warming me up. Everyone gathered round the fire even though they didn't need it. They just sat staring at it. The rain had slowed now only dripping.
‘Mom, could I ring Jacob'. I asked suddenly making everyone jump. She turned to Alice and frowned. ‘Alice you promised you wouldn't tell'. She said. Alice turned to me and said. ‘Renesmee be patient. We don't want to hear any more'. This dampened my mood. I went back into the tent closing it behind me. ‘Renesmee’. My mom shouted after me.
‘Go away'. I sulked. Why did parents have to stop everything? It's like they don't care at all how you feel.
‘Renesmee, your dad rang about an hour ago'. She said.
‘How could he I can't get a signal on my phone'. I said.
‘I was collecting wood and went up to the cabins were the signal is high'. She said.
‘Can I go down there and send one text?' I asked.
‘Renesmee’. My mom snapped. I mumbled under my breath.
‘Your dad has a surprise for you tomorrow'. She said.
I didn't say anything. She went back to doing what she had before.
Later that night after we went hunting. We all went separate ways. I found a small deer in the woods, Emmett and Jasper came back with grins on their faces so obviously they enjoyed themselves. My mom also looked better than before. We didn't say anything about hunting though. We just sat round the fire again. It was dark now, and the rain had stopped. It smelt damp though and the tree we were under dripped on us occasionally. I yawned and everyone turned to me. I broke the silence.
‘So what are we going to do'?
‘I think you should go bed'. My mom said.
‘But we haven't done anything today'. I moaned.
‘We are going hiking tomorrow and swimming'. Mom said. That cheered me up a little. I was a little tired though and cold.
Everyone else was still sat round the fire talking quietly. I went into my tent again and settled down. I flipped my phone checking everything. No text or missed call. Sleep was taking over me. I was suddenly exhausted. I closed my eyes.
I woke up the next morning at half past five. Mom was in the same tent as me. There was a light on in Emmett and Rosalie's tent but Alice and Jasper's were dark. I got out of the tent and heated up the fire. Mom came out the tent with her book.
‘Morning Renesmee'. She said hugging me. I snuggled up to her still tired. She just pulled me away for a second. ‘Are you OK?' she asked. I nodded saying I missed Jacob. Which I did. I went back inside my tent and went sleep again.
I woke up again it was brighter, the sun was out now and my mum had a blanket wrapped round her body, she was wearing big sunglasses that covered most of her face, and a scarf covered the rest. I could tell she was sparkling. She only dressed like this when she sparkled. I was also a little sparkly. But I could pass it off as make up.
I checked my phone; it had a one bar signal. It was only half past seven. I got out to see where everyone else was. Alice was sat on jasper’s knee looking at the fire. When she saw me she smiled. ‘Morning Renesmee’. She said.
‘Morning’. I squeaked. She backed off still holding me at arms length.
‘We are going shopping in about ten minutes’. She said. ‘Go get ready’.
‘I thought we were going hiking?’ I asked.
‘Do you think we want to show ourselves like this?’ she pointed to her thin arms, they looked liked diamonds.
‘Good point, but no one is around’. I said looking round. No one was around. We were alone.
‘I don’t want to hear anymore get ready’. She said in a strict voice. It made me a little worried. Why did she want me to go with her so badly? Normally she would ask me if I wanted to go shopping, if I said no she would shrug and say ‘ suit yourself’ and bounce off with Rosalie. Maybe it was the surprise my mom was talking about. I didn’t argue or back talk anymore.
In my tent I got dressed, mom put some sunglasses on me too and a sun hat. She kissed me goodbye. ‘Come on Renesmee’. Alice said from outside the tent. I sighed and joined her.
The day went quite quickly, shopping with Alice, my mind was still on Jacob. But now I knew what was happening I wasn’t so upset. Alice took me to lots of different clothes stores. Actually she dragged me in them. She bought make up necklaces, bracelets earrings and shoes. She then bought me necklaces bracelets earrings and shoes. I didn’t even care about fashion. But you can never say no to Alice anyway.
She then took us to clothes shops. We spent four and a half hours in one shop. I was bored and tired. But Alice wanted me to help her decide between a silver dress with puffy sleeves, or black jeans with a white long sleeve top and body warmer. I didn’t care so I chose the body warmer. Alice wasn’t satisfied though. In the end she chose both.
‘Alice can we go back to camp now?’ I moaned. My feet were hurting from standing up so much, and my eyes were sleepy. Alice shook me away for a second disappearing into the changing room.
When she came out she said. ‘Yes we can go home’. On the way home she was smiling. She looked happy. She never looked this happy even when we spent all day shopping. She didn’t answer when I asked either.
When we got back to camp. Rosalie was sulking. ‘What is the matter Rose’? Alice asked.
‘Why wasn’t I invited to your shopping trip?’ she sulked. Alice sighed. Rosalie made a noise in her throat. Alice threw me into the tent. ‘Ooow’. I screamed when I landed on my arm and it crunched underneath me. My mom came out the tent and growled at Alice. Rosalie stood behind my mom and growled. Jasper sprung to Alice’s side quickly. Emmett was the only person to come to me.
‘You guys stop being so childish, Renesmee needs help’. He said. Everyone came to my side. My mom was shouting at Alice to ring Carlisle. ‘Does this hurt’? Emmett squeezed my arm. ‘Ouch’. I whined. Emmett untied his jumper from his waist tying it round my arm and round my neck. ‘I think she broke it’. Emmett said.
‘No clues to where you found that out’. Rosalie said sarcastic. Everyone gave Rosalie a dirty look. ‘We need to get her home’. Emmett said. He gathered me in his arms holding my arm carefully. He ran through the camp all the way home. My mom was close behind me. I could see a blur of her.
‘Let me have a look at that’. Carlisle said taking Emmett’s jumper off me.
He pressed my arm and asked if it hurt. I winced in pain. ‘Emmett get me the ice pack’. He said calmly. Emmett returned seconds later with the ice pack. I was in so much pain it made me feel a little dizzy. Carlisle took a torch and shone it in my eyes. ‘She seems ok, Renesmee how do you feel?’ he asked. A little dizzy’. I said.
‘Ok Renesmee I will give you something for that’. Carlisle said.
After twenty five minutes Emmett took the ice pack off my arm. I felt a little better sipping the water Emmett gave me. My mom was on the phone to my dad.
Carlisle wrapped my arm in a sling. ‘There you go’. He said tightening the sling round my neck. He gave me a couple of tablets for the pain. I sat on the sofa watching TV. Annoyed that I had to stay home, I wasn’t allowed to go swimming or hiking anymore. Mom promised as soon as my arm was fixed we would go back. But Carlisle said that could be weeks away. I felt so guilty for ruining everyone’s weekend. Even though when I asked them they said it wasn’t my fault.
My dad came home. My mom had told him what happened and he got home as quick as he could. No Jacob. I didn’t want a lot of fuss. I was angry and upset even though I knew Alice’s visions weren’t always right. My dad refused to tell me where he was, and I went up to my room and shut my door.
My mom came up to me later that day to give me my phone and my photo of Jacob I took with me. She asked if I wanted food. Which I didn’t, and if my dad could talk to me later. I wasn’t in the mood for talking but if it was about Jacob I could make an exception.
‘Hello dad’. I said. When the door opened.
‘Hello Renesmee how is your arm’? He asked.
‘It is better thanks;I don’t care about my arm’. I said. My dad sat at the end of my bed looking around the room. He looked like he didn’t want to tell me.
‘Please dad, tell me’. I begged. He sighed and began.
‘OK Renesmee I take it Alice gave in and told you Jacob was coming back?’ he asked. I nodded.
‘ well he was, Jacob was very sorry and apologised lots of times, I realised how much he cared for you, and how heartbroken I was when this happened to your mother and me. I forgave him. Then Jacob decided to push his luck and ask me for your hand in marriage. I flipped out. You are five years old Renesmee, even if you look fourteen you are five. I was so angry and sickened by this. Jacob formed into a wolf because he was angry that I thought he was sick. He just thought it meant that you can care for that person. But you don’t know what you want. We got into an argument and Jacob ran off away from my thoughts, the last one I heard was stay away else. I didn’t want to know what the else was for your sake Renesmee’. He looked at the floor, like he was ashamed. If he could blush I think he would be right now.
‘But we can’t leave him out there alone, especially when he is angry. He could do anything’. I said half sobbing half shouting.
‘Renesmee it isn’t up to you to deal with this. He is a grown man. He can take care of himself’. My dad hung his head down, but his eyes were fixed on me. His voice was firm and clear. Like he was trying to put a point across, that was making him inpatient. His eyes were angry. Though the colour of them didn’t look angry. Looking at the deep topaz colour made me shiver.
‘Does this mean I might not see him again?’ I stumbled. My dad nodded slowly at me his eyes thrown to the floor. I was sobbing again. I knew he was serious. When he looked at me his eyes were cold, he was ashamed of what happened. He knew what had happened had broken me in pieces just like he did when he left my mom. He described so many times how he felt. He said he never wanted me to feel like that. I started sobbing. He put his arm round me and I buried my head in his chest.
‘Please don’t cry Renesmee’. He said lifting my head. He wiped my eyes.
‘Why? I have lost my best friend what is there to be happy about?’I shouted feeling irritated.
My dad sighed and went out the room. I just lay alone in the dark staring out the window. It was still raining. So I opened the window to listen. I heard a knock on the door. It made me jump.
‘Can I come in please Renesmee?’ my mom said on the other side of the door.
‘Yes’. I said rubbing my eyes and shutting the window. She came in closing the door behind her. She wrapped her arms around me and I let it all out again.
‘Mom what if I never see Jacob again’. I spluttered into her chest.
‘I don’t know Renesmee, I have been trying to ring him but it keeps going to the answer machine’. She said
‘He really doesn’t want to talk to anyone. Wait what if I try on my phone, he knows my number’. I said jumping up and grabbing my phone.
I dialled the number. It just went straight to answer phone so I just said. ‘please Jacob ring me. Don’t be angry at me’. Then pressed the end call button.
There was a knock on the door, but this time the front door. I heard voices. It was Seth. I hadn’t seen him for a few months. When I went to see Emily, Seth was always there with everyone else. But why was he here now?
‘Hello Renesmee’. Seth said when I got to the door. Everyone else was crowded round, probably thinking the same thing I was.
‘Hello Seth, what are you doing here?’ I asked.
‘I was heading to Emily’s and heard what had happened. I was wondering if you were ok, and would you like to come to Emily’s?’ he asked
‘Have you heard anything from Jacob?’ I asked.
‘I tried to connect to him, but he ran away’. He said shuffling in the doorway.
‘ I am sorry Seth but I don’t feel like going out at the minute, tell Emily I will visit soon though’. I said. He shrugged and hugged me.
‘ Well I guess I will see you soon then’. He said
‘ Yeah sure, bye Seth’. I said. Shutting the door
Jacob
I sat by the river skimming stones into the water. Yeah I was mad. How could I not be. I did feel bad for Seth, just because I was annoyed I shouldn’t of took it out on him. I should say sorry. But who knows where I am going to live now. I couldn’t take Forks anymore. Too many memories good and bad. I wish I could of said goodbye to Renesmee, I can’t believe I will never see her again. I wonder if she will get on with her life, forget me. Meet someone else. It would probably be easy for her to forget me. I though, would never forget her. Even the slightest thing reminded me of her. Like the wind, when it blew her hair round her face she always frowned. The colour of the sunset . So bright and beautiful reminded me of her eyes. She was my world my whole life, now she would be someone else’s. I could never go back. I did always promise if I was away from her for even a day I would want to kill myself. That’s exactly what I was going to do. I just hadn’t decided how yet.
Renesmee
After I had closed the door. I wish I had gone to see Emily. It would take my mind off Jacob. Now I was walking round the house. Sulking. My parents wanted me to go hunting. But I wasn’t even in the mood for that. Although I was very thirsty. But all I wanted was for Jacob to come back. I ended up going upstairs to my room. I could be alone and let it all out.
‘Hello Renesmee’. A voice said by the door. It was jasper. I quickly sat up rubbing my eyes. ‘ Come in’. I choked.
He opened the door and came in. ‘ I am sorry about all of this Renesmee’. He said.
‘ Has Alice seen anything else?’ I asked. He nodded. I waited for him to talk.
‘ She has seen something, but it is blurred. She said I might be able to help’. He said.
‘ How’? I asked.
‘ Well, Alice knows where Jacob is, she had a vision I would go to see him. We were all confused why I would go. Then the pieces connected. I was the only one who could calm Jacob down and make him see sense. She seen other things but she can’t make them out yet’. He said.
‘ Oh Jasper are you going to go see Jacob’. I screamed. Happily. He nodded. I threw my arms round him. ‘ Thank you Jasper’. I said. He smiled embarrassed. We both went downstairs. Everyone else was crowded round Alice. Asking her what she saw. Her face was blank. Her lips trembled. She let out a little cry. ‘ What happened Alice’. Jasper shot straight to her side. ‘ Someone is going to get injured. I didn’t see all of the face but I recognise them. I couldn’t see anymore. But I think it is one of us’. She said. Jasper squeezed her. ‘ It is ok Alice’. He said hugging her. Everyone except Rosalie who was now doing her hair. Hugged Alice.
When it was time for Jasper to leave. Alice hugged him close still shook up from her vision. ‘ Don’t worry Alice’. Jasper had said this a million times. Alice wasn’t convinced though.
‘ Alice, would you feel better if someone came with me’. He said finally. She nodded.
‘Emmett, Edward. Would you come with me? Alice is really worried’. Jasper asked.
Emmett and my dad both nodded. Emmett and kissed Rosalie, and Esme. Carlisle just put his hand on Emmett’s shoulder. My dad kissed my mom and Esme. ‘ Take care please’. Esme said coming into the hallway with Carlisle. Carlisle nodded at them both. We watched them go out the door.
Jacob
I saw them in the distance. I was sure it was them. The boys had come to sort it out with me. I had nothing to say to anyone. I didn’t want to start a fight or argument. I didn’t really want company at all but if they started a fight. I would defend myself.
‘Hello Jacob’. Jasper said smiling slightly. He was polite. I felt my anger wear away.
‘ Hello Jasper’. I had said. ‘ Emmett, Edward’. I said nodding at them.
Edward had stepped in front of his brother. I growled slightly at him. Edward just carried on smiling politely at me. ‘ I am sorry about our little misunderstanding’. He said. I spat.
‘ Little understanding, you call this little. You have basically destroyed my world, and you call it little’. I screamed. Emmett stepped in front of Edward who said. ‘ I can handle myself Emmett’. He stepped back a little.
‘ I was being polite to you but if you want it this way then I guess I don’t need to be polite’. He said. I was boiling inside I couldn’t help myself I was growling still and shaking.
‘ Stay away from me’. I hissed at them. They all hissed back baring their teeth at me. I ran to the lake and changed. I could no longer talk but I could still think. I knew what I had wanted to do. When he had left Bella that time. All the anger was coming back to me. I launched myself at them.
Renesmee
We were sat in the living room. Alice suddenly gasped. We all watched her face as it creased up like she was in pain. Seconds later she came back to life. ‘ Alice what did you see my mom asked. Carlisle and Esme had gone hunting together.
‘ We have to get to the forest fast’. She said jumping up. My mom also jumped up
‘ There has been an accident, Jacob attacked your father for some reason. It isn’t very clear. But we have to go up there’. She said to my mom who nodded.
‘ Can I come’? I asked. Already knowing the answer. My mom shook her head.
‘ It is too dangerous for you’. She said.
Alice quickly told Rosalie what had happened. She rushed to the door with Alice.
‘ Renesmee you are going to have to come’. My mom sighed. ‘ ButI want you to stay back from what is happening’. She said. I nodded.
On our way to the forest. Alice led the way. Talking on the phone to Jasper. I couldn’t hear what they were saying. My mom looked worried so I knew it would be bad. Alice handed the phone to Rosalie to talk to Emmett she sighed in relief that he was ok. Alice’s face looked dark. Something bad had happened.
When we arrived everyone was crowded round something I couldn’t see what it was. My mom told me to stay at the edge of the forest. It was foggy so I couldn’t see.
