Bella's POV
On our drive home it was quiet except for Nessie's occasional fidgeting in the back seat. As I held my husbands hand I looked up towards him and let my shield down.
Edward I don't think you should yell at Nessie anymore than you should. She's already going through enough, growing up in a family full of vampires and going through high school having her parents or aunts and uncles in every other class. Its hard on her to have some privacy. Ya know
He simply nodded his head so I could know he got my point. I turned on the radio to clear the silence. It took a while to pick which song I wanted to hear because either Edward wouldn't like it or Nessie wouldn't. So I picked a Paramore song I heard Nessie listening to everyday. The radio said it was called "Decode"
I heard Edward give a huff so I thought to him and said. Well its better than hearing some guys from Colorado singing about not trusting a hoe.!
He gave me and smirk and nodded once again. I then focused on my daughter who was singing the lyrics to herself.
"how did we get here when I used to know you so well" she sang chorus lightly
"So Ness I'm guessing you like this song" I said trying to lighten her mood
"Like? I love this song mom!" I could tell she was out of her slump
As we drove home Nessie and I talked and talked on the lastest news and school. Occasionally I would see Edward smirk and look out the corner of his eye towards our daughter but I paid him no mind.
Nessie's POV (back tracks a little bit)
Once Collin said bye and I had my family to face I quickly got into the car and sunk down in my seat. I looked out the window to see my mom and Alice arguing about the newest wardrobe update for the summer fads , Aunt Rosalie fixing her hair in her car, Jasper and my dad play fighting and worst of all Emmett making faces towards me from the other side of the window. I stuck my tongue out at him and flicked him off. He chuckled then walked away to Rosalie's car to pull off.
I guess everyone got the idea because they stopped what they were doing and got into their cars and sped off down the street. It was a silent drive back home. Dad looked tense, Mom looked like she wanted to solve some unspoken problem so I minded my own business and watched as the moss covered trees zipped out of nowhere the thought of Collin popped up in my head, I would have thought Jacob would come up first but no it was Collin. Just the thought of him made me blush.
As the thoughts went away my mom started to fiddle with the radio and try to decide what we would listen to.
I sure as hell won't listen to any damn Classical music like Mozart and Beethoven.
But to my surprise my mom landed on my favorite song by Paramore and I guess she saw my eyes widen because she kept it on that station.
As I sang to myself out of habit my mom tried to make small talk to me about this song.
She asked "So Ness I'm guessing you like this song"
"Like? I love this song mom!" At least she can relate to my type of music...a little bit
I saw my dad smirk but wipe it away quickly so nobody would notice. As our ride continued Mom and I talked and laughed about moments in our lives. We even talked about this book I was reading called Old Sun it was the second book in a series I read about two lovesick teens. It reminded me of someone I knew but I could never figure it out, neither could Mom.
As we pulled up to our home and Dad parked I slowly walked into the house to see grandma Esme in the living room watching a bridal show. I jogged to my grandmother to give her a "glad to be back" hug. I flopped to the seat next to her so I could tell her about my partially great day.
"Grandma today was so great...at least the end of it was!" I was so excited to tell her!
"What happened sweetheart?" She said in a motherly tone
"Well the bad part is dad but I won't talk about it because its old business"
"Okay then, tell me the good part of your day."
"Well I met this boy named Collin after I fell down the stairs and we exchanged numbers on our way to the parking lot" As I said that everyone came filing in one after another to hear about this new mystery guy.
"Oh thats nice sweety..we can finish this talk later okay" she said kissing my forehead then showered everyone in hugs and kisses. I began my walk up stairs when my phone began to ring it played "21 Guns" for a couple seconds until I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked hesitantly
"Hey Renesmee, its Collin from school" Oh my god he actually called me!
"Oh whats up Collin" I took a seat at the top of the stair and looked towards my family who were listening intently to my conversation with Collin
"Umm me and some friends were planning on going out to eat and I wanted to see if you wanted to join us?" He asked
"Of course I'll go where do you want to meet at?"
"I'll just come over your house to pick you up...is that alright?"
"Aduh its alright" I chuckled as I gave him my address
"Okay I'll see you around 7"
"See ya" I said as I hung up
Again I looked up to see my family in different moods. Uncle Emmett teasing me and making kissing noises, Aunt Rosalie smacking Emmett back into reality, Aunt Alice running up to me saying "I'll go pick out something cute for you"
I then caught the glances of my father and mother giving me the "We approve" smiles which creeped me out because I could've sworn dad and I were on bad terms today. Oh yeah I forgot dad was totally whipped and he'll do anything for mom. Ha ha sucka I gots me a free ticket out of this house!
I could tell he was mad about that but I quickly forgot about him and ran to my room to find Alice finished putting my outfit for tonight. Its was a cute outfit that seemed right for me. It was a pair of vintage skinny jeans paired with a button down purple checkered shirt and a pair of gladiator sandals. I quickly motioned for Alice to leave my room so I could get ready.
I emptied out all my pockets and threw my cell phone into my school bag and skipped to my personal bathroom. I freshened up, threw my clothes on and put my hair in a messy ponytail which still looked cute. I looked at the time an saw that it was ten minutes past 7 "Dammit!" I said in a hushed voice which I knew everyone would still hear.
I grabbed my wallet and just about glided down the two flights of stairs,but with my moms clumsiness in my blood in managed to trip down the last 6 stairs. Luckily my dad caught me or I was a goner.
"Thanks dad" I said trying to recover my nerves
"Your welcome Ness...Um be home by 10 I guess"
"Okay dad" I said and quickly pecked his cheek then ran out to see Collin in a beautiful Infiniti G37 Coupe.
I waved at Collin who was dressed nicely and he got out of the car and opened my door for me.I thanked him and he quickly hopped back in and zoomed off out the driveway. Now all thats left is my date with Collin.
