A Newfound Short Temper: Girl Talk
I'm going to do one more chapter after this, but I'll be away all next week, so I'm not sure when my next update will be. Thanks for understanding.

I watched wearily as Jacob left the house, only to find that Mom and Aunt Rose had taken his place. Great, now we were going to have some girl talk. I lived in a world full of testosterone. You're talking to a girl who goes to Jacob- her best friend who also happens to be a grown man- for everything. I even went to him when I got my period for the first time. Things like this just made me uncomfortable.
"Hi, Renesmee," Aunt Rose said cautiously taking a seat on the side of me. "I think the three of us need to talk."
"Ya think?" I retorted.
"Nessie," Mom said warningly. "Watch what you say." I turned to her giving her a death glare. I can't believe she was actually saying that to me right now. If she could blush I think she would. "Honey, I'm so sorry. I just got so worked up. I don't think that of course. I trust you. I have faith that you wouldn't do anything stupid."
I nodded my head, but didn't say anything. Rose took the hint and continued, "I think we all have something to apologize for. I never realized how much the comments I make bother you. When Jacob said that you cried all night I felt horrible. Please, next time I say something wrong, just let me know."
I composed my thoughts, and it was several minutes before I finally started speaking "Aunt Rose is right. We all do have something to apologize for." I turned towards her, "I'm sorry. I never should have spoken to you like that. I had just been holding in all those bitter feelings, and that's obviously not good. You know me. I'm not disrespectful like that. I have never spoken to anyone like I spoke to you last night, and I cannot express how much I regret that. On the other hand, the things you say genuinely bother me. I tried to stay calm, but that didn't work. I love Jake and the pack, you have to understand that. My love for my werewolf family doesn't take away from my love for my vampire family. I hope you can forgive me." She nodded her head.
I turned towards my Mom, "Obviously I can understand that you were angry, and that you said some things that you wouldn't have said under normal circumstances. I've done that before... I did that last night. I believe you don't mean it, and that you don't think it's true, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less."
"Can you forgive me?" Mom and Aunt Rose said in unison, earning a giggle from me.
"Only if you can forgive me for acting like a spoiled brat."
"Of course we forgive you," Mom said pulling me in for a hug.
Aunt Rose was next kissing me on the cheek, "I really am sorry."
"I get it, I get it. We are all sorry," I pulled them both in for a group hug, and I felt a rush of gratitude run through me as I hugged these amazing, independent and strong women that I was so lucky to have in my life. "I love you guys."
"We love you too, honey," Aunt Rose whispered in my ear. "Never forget that."
