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 dad's 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 dad's. 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 has 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, you're 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 whose 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. 'Let's 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. 'Err, 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 you're 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 has 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 has 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 spoken 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 other's 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 peace 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 downhill 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 arm's 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. 'But I 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.
