*Three and a half Years Ago*
-Second Semester-
Even though Nessie only knew how to play the piano, her music teacher offered her a summer music program on learning another instrument. But she told her father it was for piano. Reason being was because junior high didn't really have concerts for piano players. So, she agreed. Since she's always wanted to learn how to play other instruments rather than only one. But of course she thought she'll only play 'till she reaches high school.
-Three years ago-
*Fall Concert*
During the summer, she mastered the instrument she learned and became first chair. Once her teacher said she was going to be performing in the concert, that's what made her feel in a hurry to tell her father the truth. So, after school Billy dropped her off at the hospital.
"Hey."
"Hi, is my Dad busy right now?" Renesmee asked the secretary.
"Let me check sweetie." Looking and phoning if his line was busy. "He just stepped out his office."
"Thank-you. I'll wait." She smiled and started walking to the lobby.
"Renesmee?"
"Hi daddy." She turned giving him a hug. "Can we talk in your office, its important?"
"Okay."
Closing the door after him, as she went to sit down thinking really hard.
"What do you need to tell me?"
"Promise me you won't get mad."
"What did you do?"
"Please daddy. Promise me."
"I promise I won't get mad."
"Or yell." She added.
"And yell. Promise I won't yell."
"Daddy…I lied to you about what I did in the summer, it wasn't for piano—it was—"
"You what?" He interrupted.
"I didn't mean to Dad I don't know why I did it."
"Then, where exactly did you go this past summer?" He asked.
"To the music program."
"But you said—"
"Please!" It was her turn to interrupt, "Let me finish. I'm sorry I lied to you, it was for instrumental learning."
"What instrument did you learn?"
"The flute, piccolo, and clarinet."
"Why did you decide to tell me this now?"
"Because there's a concert tomorrow and my music teacher is going to mention—that I went to all-valley. I'm alternate."
"That's amazing sweetheart, though I'm a little upset you kept this from me."
"I said I was sorry."
"I know. Its okay, Ness don't cry." He noticed right away her eyes were beginning to get watery.
Someone knocks on the door, "Mr. Cullen, there's a patient who wants to talk to—."
"Please hold. Tell them I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay." The lady said.
He gets up, taking Ness in his arms. "I'm really happy for you, Ness. Really I am. Don't worry, I won't ground you. This time." Then he winks causing her to laugh.
"Thank-you, Daddy."
Seeing her performance, and impressed with how much and how far she went learning in a matter of two months, sounding like she's been playing for years. That was the last time she felt accomplished and happy that she made her father the happiest man alive. The only thing she didn't want was Tanya.
*Present*
Back into the school Renesmee spotted Jake. "What happened?" He asked.
"Nothing just had an argument with my dad. He forbids me from you seeing you because I am grounded."
"Wow, he's crazy."
"Yeah, I know."
"Don't pay attention to him. If you want to runaway just tell me and I'll runaway with you."
"You know me too well. But three years to go and I'm out of there. Unless my mom decides to take me sooner."
He gives her a kiss, and then went to class.
After dinner Nessie went up to her room, saw someone standing by her window. "Jake? You scared me!"
"Isn't your dad downstairs?" As if reminding her not to yell.
"Jake you're going to get me in trouble." She whispered.
"Relax."
"What stunt are you trying to pull? But you—."
He kisses her, "Stop it."
"No."
She pushes him, "I can't do this."
"What's the problem, Nessie." She didn't answer.
"I asked you a question." He said a little too loud.
"Shhhh, Jake."
He looked at her carefully. "Ness?"
"Sorry, I was just trying to relax."
"Maybe I can help." Jake offered leaning closer to give her a kiss. Someone pounded on the bedroom door Ness jumped, as Jake's eyes opened wide.
"Renesmee? Are you okay in there?"
"Dad!" She gasped. Ness put a finger to her lips warning Jake to be quiet. Grabbing his arm and shoved him toward the closet. The bedroom door rattled.
"Ness?"
"Yeah, Dad." Ness called out shoving Jake into the closet. He slid the door closed.
"Are you okay in here? I thought I heard voices."
"Voices?" She asked innocently. "Maybe you heard the radio."
"No, that's not it." Her Dad remarked. "I thought I heard a boy's voice."
"I think you've hearing things, Dad," She replied.
"Maybe I am." Her father paused. His eyes narrowed. "I thought I told you to lock the window at night."
She rolled her eyes and groaned. "I just wanted some fresh air."
"Just close it when you go to sleep."
"No problem."
He shut the door and she waited. Then she opened the closet door. Jake grinned at her from between two dresses. "Out," she whispered and pointed to the window.
"I'm going," he replied. "I can stay you know."
"Out." She repeated.
"That was really close."
"I know that was, I'm sorry." He walked then threw one foot over the window mill. "Seriously, Ness. You gotta start locking the window at night. Any creep can climb up here."
She smiled. "Yeah, I know. I'm glad you came."
"Me too."
Then they gave each other a good night kiss.
"You know what, you can stay if you want."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
