Chapter 1
Renesmee
"Kids! You better come get breakfast before your father eats it all!" I yelled upstairs.
Its been 14 years, can you believe it? 14 long, wonderful years.
Caleb and Charisa were sixteen now and were turning seventeen tommorrow! I can't believe my babies were all grown up now! Seems like only yesterday that me and Jacob had to change their diapers or kiss their boo-booes or...Oh gosh, I felt like I was going to cry.
I felt two warm arms wrap around my torso and pull me back towards them.
"Whats wrong baby? I can feel you getting upset about something." Jacob asked softly, kissing my neck.
I turned in his arms and rested my head on his chest.
"Our babies are all grown up now Jacob, soon they'll be going off to college, and then they won't need us anymore! We wont have to clean up after them, cook, or kiss their boo-booes anymore...Everything just went by so fast!"
"Aw, Nessie, listen to me." He tilted my head up and smiled. "They're still going to need us even when they go off to college, get married or whatever. Now is not the time to worry about that though, they haven't even graduated high school yet. So stop worrying okay? I'll even let you kiss all my boo-booes."
I giggled and hugged him again. "I love you Jacob."
He kissed my head, "I love you too honey. I gotta go to work, see you later."
He pulled away and headed for the door, but I grabbed his arm.
"Excuse me sir, did you forget something?"
He looked at me confused for a second before realization passed over his face, and he smirked.
"Then come here sexy."
He pulled me forward and cupped my face in both his hands, kissing me passionately. I moaned and gripped his short hair.
"Get a freaking room..." Caleb mumbled.
Me and Jacob pulled apart just in time to see him brush past us and towards the door.
"Wait a minute, where do you think your going?" I asked.
"To school. Where else would I be going at seven in the morning?"
"Hey, don't talk to your Mother like that. She made breakfast for you, so sit down and eat it." Jacob said.
Caleb grumbled under his breath, slammed his bag on the ground and stomped back into the kitchen. I shook my head. I have no clue whats gotten into that boy.
"I have to get to work honey, I'll talk to him later."
"Okay, have a good day."
With one more kiss, he was out the door.
Charisa
I practically skipped down the stairs this morning and smiled at my Mom giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Morning Mom!" I said.
She smiled back, "Its good to see your in a good mood this morning."
I shot her a confused look, as I made my plate. "Why? Was Dad in a bad mood?"
"No your brother."
I looked around and noticed he wasn't even here. I huffed alittle. We always walked to school together, but lately he's been leaving without me!
"He left without me again? Whats with him?"
Mom sighed and sat next to me at the table. "I don't know, but I'm getting worried. Is there anything going on at school?"
I shook my head, "Not that I know of. But if it will make you feel better I'll ask him when I get to school."
She smiled again. "Thank you sweetie, you should get going before your late though."
She picked up my plate and I kissed her cheek again before skipping out the door.
I smiled as the cold fall air hit my face, and I took a deep breath. I always loved the cold weather. It was this time of year when Seth usually took me up to seattle and we would always go to this beautiful lake and skip rocks or have picnics. Seth was always there for me, thats why he's my bestfriend.
Speaking of...
"Hey Charisa! Wait up!" I heard him yell behind me.
I stopped and watched as he approached me with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey Rissa! Where's Caleb?" He asked giving me a quick hug.
I grabbed his hand and continued walking. "Left me again. I don't know whats gotten into him. Its like he's been ignoring me, or everyone at that. I don't know what to do. I miss him."
Seth squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile.
"Everything will work out Rissa, Just give him some space. He's probably going through that stage were he hates the world and everyone in it."
"Did you go through that stage Seth?" I teased.
He chuckled. "Nope, I was one happy kid! Nothing could get me down. Except for Leah. But she use to be evil."
I giggled. "Aunt Leah is not that bad! She's funny!"
"Yeah but you didn't know her before she got together with Embry. Before him... Grown men were scared to come out of their houses if they knew she was around. Even Paul, Paul Lahote, was afraid of her. Imagine that!"
I threw my head back and laughed, slapping his arm.
"Oh gosh, Is it safe to say I officially want to stay on Aunt Leahs good side now?"
He chuckled again and we walked the rest of the way to school in silence. Once we got there, I stopped in the parking lot to wrap my arms around Seths neck.
"Are we still gonna go to the lake for my birthday this Saturday?" I mumbled into his neck. I felt his warm lips press against the side of my head.
"Of course! I wouldn't cancel it for anything."
I smiled and pulled back, kissing his nose.
"Love you Sethy."
He smiled that childish grin at me and pulled me into one more hug.
"Love you too Charisa. Have a good day."
We seperated and I waved, watching him jog back in the direction we came from, and once he was gone I walked into the school building headed straight for Me and Calebs locker.
Sure enough he was there, putting some books in our locker.
"Hey Cal, why'd you leave me this morning?" I asked approaching him with a smile.
He looked at me briefly before going back to what he was doing.
"You were taking too long." He mumbled.
"But you always use to wait for me. What changed?"
He slammed the locker shut causing me to jump. "I just don't feel like walking with you anymore, okay?"
"Caleb, Is there something going on? You know you can always talk to me. Im your sister."
"I'm fine. Go to class okay?" He said more softly.
I nodded, and watched him disappear in the crowds of the school.
For the rest of the day, I kept wondering what was wrong with Caleb, especially when I didn't see him at lunch. We always ate together.
And after school, he wasn't even in our spot waiting for me to come out. I sighed, and pulled my jacket on when I felt a warm hand cover my eyes.
"Guess who?" A deep voice asked.
A small smiled formed on my lips. "Hmmm, well that sexy voice had to come from Justin Bieber."
Seth chuckled as he removed his hand from my face and took my backpack, lacing his fingers through mine.
"Don't even start on this Justin Bieber crap rissa. I hated It when you went through that phase." He shuddered. "Still gives me the chills."
I giggled and leaned my head on his arm while we walked.
"Did you find out what was wrong with Caleb?" Seth asked quietly.
"No. He blew up in my face this morning and then I didn't see him at lunch. I'm really worried Seth."
"I saw him earlier today, I think he skipped school. He was at the park, but I didn't want to bother him, he just look so... Sad."
"He skipped school?" I asked shocked. "That's not like him at all... Gosh I wish he would just talk to me."
"Give him time, like I told you earlier. He'll come around. It is your guys birthday tommorrow, so he can't grump around on his birthday can he?"
"I guess not... I hope whatevers bothering him will go away soon."
Seth kissed the top of my head and we continued making small talk until we got to the house. I was surprised to see Dad home this early.
"Hey Dad, what are you doing home so early? Everything okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, everythings fine. Me and your Mother just wanted to talk to you and your brother before we pack-"
Mom slapped Dad upside the head, "I knew you would say something you big lug! Ugh!"
He smiled sheepishly and I looked between the two of them confused.
"Pack? Where are we going?" My eyes widened and I grabbed Seths hand in a death grip. "We're not moving right? Please tell me we're not moving. We can't!"
"Charisa calm down before you rip Seth's arm off his body. We're not moving." I breathed out a sigh of relief. "We're going on vacation for your birthday! We are taking you, your brother, Embry and Leah and their kids. We figured you could all use a vacation. Seth can come of course."
I squealed and jumped up and down as I ran over, hugging the life out of them.
"Awesome! Where are we going?" I almost screamed.
Mom laughed and bumped Dad with her shoulder, "Thats one thing I want to keep a secret. Can you handle that Dad?" She asked, narrowing her eyes playfully.
He grabbed her around the waist, and she squeaked. "Oh I can handle that and so much more Mama..."
I gagged and grabbed Seth's hand, pulling him upstairs quickly. "You guys are disgusting! Ruining my virgin ears!"
They didn't respond so I figured they were rather occupied.
...
Caleb didn't make his appearance until later on that night, and immediatley I heard a screaming match between him, Mom and Dad.
"Where the hell have you been Caleb?" Dad yelled. "Its nearly 10' o'clock! Do you know how worried your Mother has been?"
"You guys were worried. Thats a new one. What, you weren't so wrapped up in your perfect daughter to finally notice I was missing?"
I winced alittle that, and tried not to easedrop, but it was too tempting not to
"Caleb, thats not fair. You know we love you." Mom reasoned.
"You mean you have to put up with me because I'm your son right?"
"Hey! Do not talk to your Mother like that!"
"And you stop sticking up for her! You care about her more than us! I bet you were more worried about her freaking out tonight than me actually being gone right?" Caleb yelled.
"You know what go to your room! And don't even think your going anywhere with us tomorrow!"
"Jacob come on now... Its his birth-"
"No Mom, I don't care. Nobody would've paid any attention to me anyways. I'll gladly stay home, to be away from you two."
I heard him stomp up the stairs, his door slamming making the whole house rattle.
Things were quiet for awhile until I heard my Mom crying downstairs.
"Where did we go wrong Jacob? Did we really neglect him for so long and not even notice it?" She sobbed.
"No baby, We gave them an equal amount of attention. But Charisa is a girl, of course she needed extra attention." Mom cried something I couldn't understand. Shh, your not a bad Mother, he'll come around I promise. Lets go pack and maybe he will be calm by tomorrow."
A knock on my door made me jump and I pretended I was looking at something on my laptop.
"Come in!" To my surprise, It was Caleb. I smiled and said, "Hey bro, whats up?"
He looked down at his feet, and I saw his lip trembling.
"You-you said I could talk to you about anything right?" He whispered.
I threw my laptop off my lap and jumped up wrapping my arms around him just as the tears started..
"I-I-I Just feel so alone..." He sobbed, fisting my shirt in his hands.
I closed my eyes, fighting against my own tears. I hated seeing Caleb upset.
"Shh, Cal... Your not alone. You have me and I love you. So stop shutting me out, tell me whats wrong. Please..."
"I can't...N-no one understands me... You wouldn't get it..."
"I want to try!" I said, pulling back and cupping his face shaking him. "Seeing you in this much pain, going through whatever your going through is killing me big brother. Whatever it is I won't judge you, I'm not that type of person, and I'll try my best to understand."
He shook his head and hugged me again.
"I've been trying to tell Mom and Dad for months, but its always Charisa this, Charisa that. I just stopped trying now since they won't even give me a minute of their time and its eating me alive. I'm so scared say anything anymore..."
I stayed quiet for a minute as his sobs picked up again.
"You don't have to tell me anything, until your ready to Cal, I'll always be here for you. Come talk to me whenever your ready."
"Thank you." He whispered.
I smiled and pulled back ruffling his hair. "Anything for you bighead." He grinned and wiped his eyes.
"Twerp."
I giggled, "You wanna come camp out in here like we use to do? You haven't talked to me in a whole month and we need to catch up."
His smiled widened and he nodded. "Yeah, let me go get my stuff. Don't tell anyone I had a sleepover with you though or I will more than likely kill you."
"I'd like to see you try."
He took a step forward and I squealed, covering my face. He laughed the first genuine laugh in a while and turned to walk out of my room.
"Your such a dork Charisa."
I smiled and plopped back on my bed.
Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.
? Point Of View
Oh, but she was oh so very wrong.
Charisa never saw the person lurking in her window that night, watching her and her brother talk and joke all night, like happy siblings.
But if she thought the little petty family drama was bad.
Then my bad was on a whole other level. :)
*PLEASE READ TOO!*
