A/N: "Tris and Toby: The Friends That Reunited" May be the first fanfic I published, but I actually wrote this story long before I even knew fanfictions actually existed on a website. Please keep hating to a minimum. I wrote this when I was in sixth grade.
but as I always say: NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE HELPFUL!
Also: I DONT OWN TWILIGHT OR CHARACTERS! Stephanie Meyer does!
The Life of Renesmee Carlie Cullen
Chapter 1: Overreaction
I can't sleep. So I listen to Mom and Dad "talking" downstairs. I assume they're fighting about one thing or another. Neither Mom or Dad yell often.
Mom is furious about something Dad did. Dad doesn't seem too sorry about what he did. I guess I'll find out tomorrow, if it was about me.
The next morning, I dress, and go downstairs for breakfast. Mom is at the table, reading a book. Dad is sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper.
"Hi, Daddy!" I say. He pulls me into a hug, and kisses my hair.
"Hi, Nessie." He murmured. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Mom give me a disproving stare. I go over and give her a hug, too.
"Good morning, Momma." I say. She hugs me back, and kisses both my cheeks.
"Good morning, sweetheart." She replies with a smile.
I went to get a glass of milk and cereal from the kitchen. Their fight last night must have been about something non-related to me. I pull out my phone to check any text messages. There was one from Jacob.
"Hey, Nessie. Can't come over today. Doctor Carlisle sad to take it easy today. Sure Mom and Dad told you. Come see me. I love you. Jake"
I frowned. What did he mean? Could this be what Mom and Dad argued about? Grandpa Carlisle knew about this too. Obviously.
"Nessie?" Mom said. I looked up. She was looking at me.
"What's wrong?" She asked. I decided not to tell her that I knew something was up with Jacob.
"Nothing." I say. "Jacob wants me to go over. Can I go after breakfast?"
"Sure. Just brush your teeth first. You want the car?"
"Okay, sure." I said. "Thanks."
I hurried through breakfast, and went upstairs to brush my teeth, and grab a sweater, and my purse. I opened my door, and saw my parents' door close. They must be making up. I think. So I go downstairs, and saw my Mom still reading. What the hell?
The car keys were resting on the table. I grabbed them, as I thanked Mom, and rushed out the door.
"On my way, Jacob. See you in a few."
The last thing I saw before I pulled down the driveway, was Dad standing at his wall-window, watching me.
I was in full panic mode by the time I reached Jacob's house. I raced up the steps and threw the door open.
"Jacob!" I called, somewhat insanely. I paced through the house, and found him in the kitchen drinking milk.
"Let me see." I murmured.
"Hey. All injuries are internal." Jacob said. "You can't see anything."
"Huh?" I said, confused.
"Broken ribs. Oh yeah. I did have a black eye, but that's all healed up." Jacob explained.
Broken ribs? A black eye? Someone did this. Someone HURT my Jacob!
"Who?" I growled, seething with rage. I thought back to Mom and Dad's fight last night, and Mom's disproval this morning. Her eagerness for me to see Jake. Dads leaving when I said I was going to see him. Dad watching me pull away Mom's car.
I turned on my heel, and prepared to run home, but Jake cought my shoulder.
"Hey, Nessie. Calm down. You don't want to go in there all hot like that." He said.
"I do!" I snarled. Dad was going to pay!
"CALM!" Jake shouted. "Listen to me, Renesmee. I'm not going to pretend that I did something to deserve your father beating me up, but Edward is prone to overreaction. Even when Bella and him were dating, he was like that. Really. It's no surprise to anyone."
He laughed. "Oh, man! Edward is hilarious when you are not the object of his overreactions and anger!" He turned somber. "But I usually am."
"Hilarious." I agreed, dryly. He smiled.
"Sorry, Jake." I murmured. He took my hand and lead me up to his room.
We were making out for about 20 minutes, when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?" I said, breathlessly.
"Renesmee?" Dad said. "I-" I cut him off
"I don't wanna hear it. We'll talk when I get home." Then, I hung up.
"That's not nice." Jacob murmured, his mouth at my jaw.
"Mmm" I said. "Maybe I'll be nicer after we play for a bit."
In response, Jacob pushed me onto the bed and climbed on top, still kissing my jaw. Jacob moved to my lips. I reached for his shirt. He paused to take it off , then went back to kissing me. He has an excellent chest. Perfectly muscular, smooth, and warm. Not hot. We're practically the same temperature. Mom says that now that she's a vampire, Dad feels warm to her. They both feel like ice cubes to me, minus the wet factor. I wonder how Jacob and I feel to them. Fire, probably.
Around 5:00, I told Jacob that I better head home.
"I'd invite you, but Dad and I need to talk, first." I told Jacob.
"No problem." Jacob said. "Do you want me to sneak in tonight?"
"Every night." I told him. "I always want you."
Jacob laughed. "Bye."
"Bye." I sighed.
As I pulled into the driveway, I noted the sound of the piano. My heart raced. What am I to say? I don't want to go a long time not talking to my father. I was furious, though. Despite Jacob's reassurance.
Mom told me that back when she and Dad were dating, Jacob openly hated Dad, and tried to take her away from him. Jacob told me he used to be in love with Mom.
"Gross!" I said at the time.
I headed up the stairs into the house.
Why does he have to be so damn controlling? We sure would get along better, if he weren't.
I headed towards the living room. As soon as my feet hit the threshold, the music stopped, and Dad turned to face me. I continued walking until I was sitting in the chair by the piano. I folded my arms across my chest, and stared at him without speaking.
He broke the silence.
"Ness?" I waited. He sighed. "I'm sorry. There was no good reason for me to lay a hand on Jacob. I overreacted."
"Gee, what a surprise." I said, laying on the sarcasm thick. He looked embarrassed. He should be.
"I know. I overreact a lot. I just, God! I just can't- can't-" he grimaced and shuddered. "Can't deal with his-" he stopped.
"His- what, Dad?" I pressed, raising my eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
"You don't get the 'pleasure' of listing to his thoughts. I know that a lot of people think that listening to thoughts is cool and all fun, but really! A lot of the time, I feel trapped. Mostly when Alice is involved. But trust me; being in Jacob's mind is no fun. For me, anyway." Dad explained.
"What does he think about?" I asked. Dad buried his face in his hands and groaned.
"Never mind. I guess I know anyway." I said quickly.
"I'm sorry Nessie." He murmured. I relented.
"Alright fine. I forgive you. But I think we ought to go to Jake's so you can apologize to him. After all, you owe him an apology not me."
Dad's shoulders slumped, but wisely he agreed. I grabbed the keys and we headed over to Jakes.
When we got to Jacob's, I lead the way, and Dad knocked on the door. He was nervous. After a moment, Jacob opened the door.
He immediately stiffened up when he saw who was behind it.
"Hello, Edward." Jacob said politely but wary.
"Jacob? I owe you an apology."
Dad said. "I overreacted and I'm sorry. I had no right to touch you and I'm sorry." Jacob snorted.
"Dude! We all know you overreact! We all also know that your instinct to overreact is hardwired to your temper." Dad grimaced. "But it's okay. I forgive you."
"Thank you, Jacob. I really should work on that." He murmured. I laughed. then we were all laughing. Jacob invited us in, but Dad said we had to go, and he invited Jacob to com over instead. Mom was making dinner.
"Sweet! Bella always makes good dinners." He said.
"I wouldn't know." Dad joked.
When we pulled in the driveway, Jacob and I went inside holding hands. Mom came out to great us.
"Hey, guys. Jake! I haven't heard from you since, well you know."
"Oh. We're good." Jacob lowered his voice. You know, untill next time."
"Jake," Mom said sympathetically.
"Sorry." Dad came inside then.
"Hello, Bella." He said. He strode over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Their kiss was sweet and full of love. Like when Jacob and I kiss. I never doubted that Mom and Dad were soul mates. Just like I never doubted that Jacob and I were soul mates.
A/N so that's that! I only wrote like two real chapters, but I may write more. They're exceedingly long chapters though... :)
