Chapter 1

"Dad!" I screamed throwing my bag down by the door and scanning my eyes along the top railing of the second floor. I made no movement to go up there as I heard a door open.

"Renesmee?" He asked confused. He held his watch up to his face and stared at it blankly. "You're not supposed to be out of school for another hour." He said frowning his brow at me.

"Uh, yeah I know I got sick at school." I said.

"Well why didn't you call me?" He asked his voice raising in panic.

"I did." I said. "But you're too busy with work to pick up the phone once in a while." I scoffed frowning at him. Dad sighed and ran his hand through his hair before walking down the winding stair. He didn't say anything as he pulled me into his arms and rested his head on mine.

"You know that being a doctor means a lot of work." He said softly.

"I know." I said holding his shirt tightly in my hand.

"And you know that because I'm a single parent I am the only one who is working. I can't afford to lose this job." As his words floated from his mouth and into my ears I felt instantly guilty for being mad at him.

"I'm sorry dad." I said. My father knelt before me and tucked his finger under my chin and forced me to look into his eyes.

"It's okay angle." He smiled softly and poked my nose. I giggled gave him a hug before grabbing my bag and running up to my room. I threw my bag on my bed and pulled out my computer. I went onto Skype hoping Ashley would be on. I called her for a video chat and when her face popped up on the screen I laughed at the face she was making.

"Hi to you too." I said smiling.

"Hey, Ness, what's up?" She asked.

"Just got home from school, which you weren't at again!" I said loudly.

"Shh." She said putting her finger to her lips.

"Oh let me guess you lied to your mom to get out of going to school." I said raising an eyebrow. This wasn't an uncommon thing for Ashley; she tended to skip school a lot.

"Not this time, she was gone all day and I just didn't leave the house. When she got him I told her school got out early." She laughed.

"And she believed you?" I asked.

"Ness, she's an idiot, obviously she did." Ashley said. I just rolled my eyes.

"Well come soon please?" I asked. "There's a new cute boy that showed up today." I squealed.

"Oh really?" Ashley leaned forward on her elbows. "Talk to me." She said in a hushed voice. Both of us knew to lower our voices when we talked about boys. It was against my father's rules to date right now, even though I'm 13.

"Well he has a blonde golden tint to his hair. It flows just above his eyes which are crystal blue. He has an adorable smile and a manly voice, but not too deep. Um…" I tapped my chin trying to think of how else to describe him.

"He sounds delicious." Ashley winked at me. "How are we going to decide who get him this time?" She asked.

"Rock paper scissors?" I asked cocking my head to the side. Ash laughed and nodded.

"Okay rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" I yelled in a hushed voice I pretended to cover Ashley's hand with a piece of paper.

"I win." I smiled at her sticking my chin out.

"Whatever I have Toney." Ashley said. Toney and Ashley have an on off relationship. Sometimes there together, sometimes not. It's too hard for me to follow. I was about to tell Ash to tell me how they were doing when I heard a knock at my door. I quickly waved Ashley goodbye, shut the computer, and dove on my bed just in time for my dad to open the door.

"Dinner's ready." He smiled at me.

"Be right down." I said pretending to read. I heard my door close and collapsed onto my bed.

"Phew." I said knowing that was a close call. I'm not allowed on the computer until after all my homework is finished. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to see my father at the table drinking a beer. He smiled at me and pulled out a chair for me to sit. I sat down and picked at my food with the fork.

"Not hungry?" Dad asked. I didn't look up as I shook my head. I took a glance at the empty chair next to me. I think my father took the hint. His fingers lightly brushed away the hair from my face.

"I miss her too baby." He said softly. "But she's still with us, watching us, and she wants us to be happy." He said.

"It's hard to be happy. How could she want something that is hard for us to be?" I asked. My father didn't answer right away. He was staring at me with a dazed look on his face.

"Well I guess because she knows in the end we will benefit from it." His voice whispered into my ear. He kissed my cheek before standing and throwing his beer into the trash bin. I walked up the stair to my room.

"Wait Renesmee." My father said walking quickly into the hallway. "I love you." He said to me.

"I love you to dad." I said and turned to walk up to my room. I cried myself to sleep like I did every night.

My eyes fluttered opened to the sound of a knock on my door.

"You almost ready?" Dad's voice asked on the other side.

"What?" I asked confused rubbing my matted hair.

"We are going into Seattle today remember?"

"Shit." I cursed softly and jumped out of bed. "Almost ready, I'll be down in a minute." I said. I threw on some clothes and put my hair up into a pony tail. Quickly I grabbed my coach purse and ran down the stairs to meet my father by the door.

"That was fast." Dad laughed.

"Only when I want to be." I smiled at him. He opened the door for me and we walked to the black Ferrari sitting in the gravel driveway. As soon as I got in the turned on the music to my favorite station.

"Wonderful." Dad grumbled. I giggled knowing that it wasn't his first selection of music. We walked around the town for a little. Looking at the buildings and stores along the sidewalk.

"I'm hungry." I said. Dad rustled with my hair and held me in a headlock as we walked into a small coffee shop.

"Two please." Dad said to the waiter. He smiled at us and brought us to a table next to the big window letting in the sunlight. I sat across from my dad in the booth. A girl walked over to us and hurried to pull the pen out of her hair and flip her little writing book to the next page. She breathed in and then made eye contact with us. She smiled at me and then looked to my father. I watched as her eyes went huge. Now okay I know my father looks a little different than other men his age. He is really 30 but looks to be 25. And most of my friends call him hot. So it wasn't unusual to see this waitress gawking at my father.

"H-hi I'm Bella and I'll be your waitress for the morning." She said stuttered. She didn't move her eyes from my father once. My father just smiled at her.

"We'll take two muffins, a coffee, and chocolate milk." And once my father finished I thought the poor girl was going to faint.

"I'll get that for you right away." She said shyly and tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear. She grabbed the menu's and rushed away to put in our orders.

"She has the hot's for you." I said to dad. He smiled at me and whispered,

"You think so?" I nodded my head quickly while biting my lip.

"I don't pay attention to it anymore." Dad said. Just then the waitress from before was walking over to us with the coffee and milk when a man stepped right in front of her and she fell forward onto my father spilling the coffee all over him.

"I'm-uh-I'm so sorry." She said her eyes huge, about to cry. I started to feel bad for her. My father looked up at her and smiled.

"It's no big deal I didn't really like this shirt anyways." He said to her. That seemed to calm her down.

"Oh..well then." She said softly smiling at him. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked.

"Actually if you could just get me some water I think I'll be all set." He smiled at her and she nodded her head and rushed to get him what he wanted.

"That was nice of you." I said.

"What was?" He asked confused.

"Not blowing up in her face." I said.

"Why would I do that?" Dad asked taking a napkin and slowly blotting out the black color from his white business shirt.

"Because you always did to mom." I said. And then instantly I covered my mouth and looked at him with wide eyes. My father looked hurt and his face showed it all. "I'm sorry I didn't mean-" I started.

"No, no it's fine." He said. He didn't make eye contact with me. That girl came back over with a glass of icy water.

"Thanks." Dad said looking up at her and smiling. I saw the girl smile back. And then I saw a look in my father's face that I had only seen him give my mother.

"I'm Edward Cullen." He said and stuck out his hand for her to shake.

"I'm Bella Swan." She said back blushing. There hand touched and I could feel the emotion flowing off of them. Her hand fit perfectly into his. And I couldn't help but fell a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. My dad was falling for her, falling hard and fast.
