So I'm thinking this is just a one-shot, maybe? I dunno yet... I'm still kind of thinking about it. But I truly want to hear what you guys have to say so can you review for me? Please? :D

Disclaimer: In my mind Renesmee is my best friend but in reality the awesome SM owns her and all that is Twilight. I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

Chapter 1

Welcome Home

Rose and I walked into the house, beaming with smiles so big I thought my face would crack. The food that she was supposed to prepare for me was now sailing down the river and my mother's boring wardrobe was overflowing with the latest trends. My hair was a tangled mess and my skirt had a slight tear in the seam, but I was only allowed to wear it once according to Aunt Rose and Aunt Alice. Rose walked over the fridge and pulled out a bag of blood for me. I happily took it and we walked to the couch.

"That was great," she grinned.

"Totally," I agreed, taking a glance out the window. It was miserable out in Forks, not such a big surprise there. Even though my family liked it here because of the rain, I yearned for the bright sun with it warming my skin.

My parents and Uncle Jazz and Aunt Alice were all in Volterra for a week. They had left this morning, leaving me with Rosalie for a week while Grandpa and Grandma spent a week at Isle Esme. I loved Rosalie, the one who didn't force me to eat human food unless I asked for it and who let me go out with my friends late at night. I had just started my sophomore year in high school last week and I already had a group of friends, and she wanted me to socialize. Leslie Newton and Marissa Cheney were quick to befriend the new girl that everyone else had looked at in awe. Soon enough others followed and I was now friends with almost everyone.

Emmett walked in, his hair gleaming with droplets of water and eyes now topaz. "Hey Lochness Monster."

I finished off my blood bag and smirked. "Hey Teddy Bear."

He laughed as he came over to where I sat with Rose. I innocently looked up at him as he reached down and easily picked me up to move me to the plush chair that was next to the couch. He plopped down next to Rose who smacked him in the chest. I forced my bottom lip out and folded my arms.

"If she wants to sit next to me, she can," Rose said, tugging on his ear. He reached over and yanked her closer.

I rolled my eyes as I stood up, knowing what I would witness if I didn't get out of there. "I'm going for a run in the woods." I left the house without waiting for a reply.

The rain was absolutely pouring now and I took off for the shelter of the trees. The smell of the wet ground mixed with the rain was absolutely amazing. It made me believe as if I was finally at home. The trees were bigger than they were eighteen years ago, a reminder of how much I missed in this town. The soft earth under my shoes made me curious to remember what it felt like. I stopped and shucked them off to dig my toes into the dirt and leaves. The feeling of dirt over my toes made me want to act like a child again and I slowed my pace, strolling and letting the rain shower over me. Puddles encouraged me to jump in and I did, giggling like I used to when a few months after I was born. I didn't care what people or family thought, one of my favorite things to do was to go puddle-hopping. Eventually I made it to my cottage but I wasn't ready just yet to go in. I would do a few more laps before I went in to get ready for my night out. As I made my way around I took in the familiar surroundings. The rain began to lighten up a little, becoming a sprinkle.

My little adventure was bittersweet. I loved remembering the little things my family and I did together on the property, but there were blanks. When I came to a certain spot that seemed important like a huge event had happened there, nothing would come up. It was just another ordinary spot that I would pass by again later. It was frustrating me but I kept walking, thinking that I was just letting my imagination get to me. Until I came upon one of the larger trees that was closer to the cottage. Something in the tree caught my eye, making me stop in my tracks. It was carved next to one of the lower branches. I climbed up to take a closer look.

RC&JB

RC&JB? I shifted through my mind, trying to think of someone I knew whose initials were RC or JB. I got that feeling again, the feeling that this was important spot.

RC. Renesmee Cullen. My heart pounded in my chest. I was RC.

Who was JB?

I pushed my feet as fast as they would go. Dirt and debris kicked up behind me making a messier trail. Things were being scattered everywhere and animals sprinted to refuge. When I got to the house, I burst in, muddy and ragged and not giving a damn if I made a mess. Rose paused mid-stairway and looked at me with doe eyes.

"What's wrong?" She flew down the stairs to stand in front of me. Her eyes frantically glanced over me, searching for injuries.

I grabbed her hand and showed her the carving in the tree. When I pulled away, her face was twisted. "Who is JB?"

She took a deep breath and deliberated on something before she scooped my up and carried me to the bathroom. "Take a shower. I'll go get you some clothes for tonight and when I come back, we'll do your hair."

"Rose," I said, reaching for her again.

"We'll talk about it when you get out." She turned and left the room quickly, shutting the door behind her.

As I stepped out of the shower and began to dry off with the towel, I saw my outfit. It was hanging up with a pair of heels sitting on the counter. Usual I would be excited to be putting another one of Rose's ensembles on, but my mind buzzing with the carving. I put each layer on in a daze and just as I strapped the last heel on, Rose walked in with a chair. I solemnly sat in it and faced the mirror.

"I know I told you we would talk about this when you got out, but Emmett and I both agreed this would be something to wait on until your parents got home." Her hands moved quickly through my hair as she combed and dried it.

I waited until the blow dryer was off before I spoke again. "You know who it is though."

She nodded gravely. It was a first to see sadness in her eyes.

"Please, just tell me."

"I can't. You know Edward would have my head if I told you or worse, he would never let me see you again." Rose gave a small smile. "Promise me something?" I nodded without thinking; I would do anything for her. "Promise me to go out tonight, have a blast with your girlfriends and break a few boys' hearts for me."

This made me laugh. "I promise."

She finished what she was doing with my hair and stood me up to face the mirror. Our reflections smiled back at us. "That's my girl."

There was a knock on the door and Emmett called to us that my ride was here. Rose and I walked down the stairs together and as I put my coat on, I promised myself something: I would find out who JB was if it meant bribing Rose or Emmett, snooping around, or even flying all the way to Italy to ask my parents in person. I knew that this truly was an important event that I needed to find out, an important event that I had somehow forgotten. I would get my way one way or another. I always did.

So, good? Bad? Continue? Just stop embarrassing yourself? Either way, review. Btw, who is JB? Anyone figure that out yet? Because I really have no idea and Nessie isn't telling me. She's gonna make me wait. Darn...Well...Review! Please and thank you! :)
