THIRD PERSON
"Ugh!" Renesmee thought.
While doing her homework she thought. 'The wicked soon-to-be step-mother just entered the room.'Trying to avoid contact in the eyes, she nodded. She hated this person because all she did was take her mother's position, and it was because of her that her father doesn't trust her anymore. Although, she knew part of it was hers but mainly the witch.
"Your father wanted me to come and tell you, dinner is ready."
"Okay, thanks Tanya, but I'm not hungry." Ness knew she cooked dinner rather than her father.
"Okay." Tanya closed the door after her.
Ness got up from her bed to lock the door to her room so she wouldn't have to deal with anyone, especially her father. Kicking the schoolbooks to the ground as she started thinking about the day she saw her mother face to face for the last time. Yet, this was the saddest day for little Nessie.
*Six Years Ago*
She was barely finishing off fourth grade at the time of nine after skipping a grade. The classes were beginning to be too easy for her, causing her to get bored quickly. Her parents gladly let her enter the next level. Also, it fit well for her since she is very mature for her age.
While walking home into the house she heard her parents arguing and was careful not to get caught eavesdropping. Lately, Ness noticed they've been fighting more and more. For the first time she decided to listen to the argument:
"Bella I thought we had an agreement that I was going to support this family."
"Edward, I'm tired of doing nothing around the house. It's just my Master's Degree I need, why won't you let me get it?"
"It's not that I don't want you to get it. But who's going to take care of Nessie while I'm gone. What about our daughter?"
"She can take care of herself or you can always take her to you parents' house, you know how much they love Nessie."
"Speaking of Nessie, shouldn't she be home by now."
Hearing her name, she made sure they heard her opening and closing the front door. "I'm home!" She yelled while entering the living room.
"How was school, sweetie?" Her mother asked.
Even though her parents acted like nothing was wrong, it didn't fool Ness. Since she could tell they were upset with one another.
"Am I interrupting something?"
"No" They both said.
"Okay, well I have a lot of homework, so I'll be in my room." She excused herself.
"I'm tired of us fighting, Edward."
"Yeah, me too. I don't think this is going to work out after all, maybe we should get a divorce."
"What? You can't be serious."
"Does it look like I'm kidding. To make this good-bye less painful, pack your things and get out. And I hope you live a long happy life."
"How could you say that to me?" She said with a soft cry escaping her mouth. Feeling so hurt. "And Renesmee?" Looking down scared to look at him and that she would start crying in front of him.
"She'll stay with me. It'll be hard for her to make new friends and it'll just hurt her to leave."
"You better tell her it was your decision, not mine."
"Don't worry. I'll remind her that you'll always love her no matter what. And our separation had nothing to do with her."
Bella left the living room to Nessie's room.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"To say good-bye to my daughter. She at least deserves to know why I'm leaving."
"She's barely nine years old!"
"She may be nine, but she's mature for her age. She'll understand."
"No, she won't." He grabs her.
"Let me go."
"I'm not letting you tell her."
"Too bad." Swinging her arm away from him and opened the door.
"Mom? What's going on?"
"Sweetie, we need to talk."
"About?"
"Your father and I."
"Bella, don't." He whispered harshly only where she can hear and not Ness.
"Edward, please. Let me have a private talk with her."
"I said, no."
"Daddy, let Mommy talk to me please." Edward couldn't say no to his angel. "Okay." Then he left, closing the door behind him.
"Sweetie, I want you to know that with my leaving has nothing to do with you. I'm only going to complete my Master's."
"Where?"
"California."
"That's too far from here. Does that mean we're moving?"
"No. Your father has to stay to help out your grandfather."
"Take me with you, Mommy."
"You're safer here with your Dad, then me. I don't want you to get hurt."
"But…"
"No buts Nessie. Just remember. I'll always be there for you."
"How?"
"Once I move over to California, I'll contact Alice to tell her my new contact information. Here's my old email but most likely I'll change it. Also, I need to tell you that after I complete my Master's I might not come back, maybe after you turn eighteen." She gets the tablet from Nessie's school notebooks and wrote it down. "Nobody can know about this, especially your father."
"Why can't he know?"
"Because we are getting a divorce. He doesn't want to hurt you because of this. Yet, you have to know that we aren't together anymore. As much as I'm upset with him, I don't want to hear from him for a long time, and I don't want to hear from anyone that I raised you wrong."
"I love you, Mom." Ness started to cry.
"Don't cry, I'll always be thinking of you no matter where I am. Remember that." Then they hugged each other good-bye.
PRESENT
Three knocks on her door took Ness out of her memory she sighed trying to hold back tears. That was the first biggest secret she kept from her father. Clearing her throat, "Who is it?" She yelled so the person could hear her.
"Open the door, Renesmee."
Great. She thought. The use of her given name was never a good sign from her father. "Dad! I'm trying to concentrate on my homework. Go away."
"Dinner now, we are going to eat like a family."
She rolled her eyes as he said 'family' since they weren't. Yeah, whatever. She said to herself, while getting off her bed to unlock her door. Not only did she see her father but Tanya as well putting up a charade.
"You owe Tanya an apology." He told her.
"For what? I was only trying to do my homework." She defended herself. He gave her a dark look in response.
"I'm sorry for not wanting to eat your crappy food, Tanya. Happy?" Then looked at her father.
"Tanya, please excuse Renesmee, I'll have a word with her."
Then, she departed out the hallway into the kitchen.
"I want this attitude of yours, to stop young lady. Fix it now or you grounded." He pressed.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
"Just hurry downstairs, dinner is getting cold."
She rushed to her seat, glaring at Tanya without her dad watching her. Then ate her food quietly and quickly plus, forgetting that she had her phone with her it rang informing her that it was a text message.
"Turn off your phone, Renesmee."
She nodded at him taking a peek at who it was, it said, 'Marie' the name her Mom told her to put so her father won't find out its her Mom. Opening the phone to read the text message it said, "I'm finally going to get my book published :)' Forgetting her manners she exited the table smiling responding immediately. 'Wow, that's awesome. When is it coming out?' Seconds later...'Your birthday.'
"Renesmee Carlie, hand me the phone right now."
Nessie turned as a reflex putting the cell behind her back. "I'll be there in a second. (Call me: she texted.) Just let me respond to my—."
"No, now."
"But Dad, it's urgent."
"Is there someone in the hospital?"
"No."
"Then give me the damn phone, Renesmee. First, you give Tanya a hard time, and then you insult her with your rude comments about her food, and disobeyed my order about no texting at the dinner table." He looks at her, "Now hand it over."
"No." She spoke back.
"What did you say?"
Then, the phone rings, "Hello."
"What's wrong, sweetie? Why did you want me to call?" Her mom asked.
"Nothing. My dad is just mad at me because I didn't excuse myself from the table and Tanya is being a bitch as usual." Making sure her father heard what she said.
"Okay, so let me guess you wanted me to call so I can stop the argument?"
"Yup."
"You need to stop this, Nessie. That means no talking back to your father."
"What Dad!" Renesmee yelled after seeing her father eyeing her while talking on the phone.
"Renesmee!" Her mother yelled whispered.
"Tell that friend of yours that you are grounded for two weeks. No phones. Hurry up."
"No. My friend deserves to be celebrated not punished."
"One minute, Renesmee."
"Don't make me ground you, Ness." Her mother intervened.
"Yeah, how's that possible, Marie?" She said with a laugh.
"I have my ways around there. Don't forget. Alice remember."
"Okay, I'll let you go. Congrats again."
"Thank you."
Then, she hung up the phone throwing it towards the table to her father, and walking away.
"I'm not done with you."
"I am." She started going towards her room.
"Get back over here, Now!"
"I hate you! Now leave me alone!" Yelling back and locking the door to her room, throwing herself on the bed. Trying to remember the happy memories from a long time ago…
