Song: Here by Alessia Cara
Renesmee
Skylar and I hadn't see each other in three weeks. We had only been texting each because my parents wouldn't let me go and see him or let him come over to see me. My family had been telling everyone that I was sick which was a complete lie. I don't get sick mainly because I'm a hybrid vampire but I was really grounded though. That was real. Today was my break out day. It had been three weeks and now I was finally able to go outside but my parents have to drive me around. I was only let because we had a family baseball game and I'm one of the star players - not to brag - but my dad was letting go and see Skylar for an hour and that was enough for me. I missed him. I missed his red hair and his dark green eyes. Now I was finally able to see him.
"You have to be back by noon or we are leaving." My mom said as she pulled over to the cafe where Sky and I were meeting. "I know that your grandpa will be really disappointed but that's what happens when I'm ground." I nodded and kissed her goodbye before running out the door. He wasn't there when I walked into the shop which was disappointing. I could wait a little longer.
I did wait.
I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Until it was a couple minutes till noon and I had to leave. I took one last sip of my drink before I headed to the door. That's when I saw him. Skylar walking on the side of the street with another girl. The girl had short straight blond hair. I had seen her before. She was the girl from the pictures in Skylar's room. She was Beth, Skylar ex-girlfriend. I watched them talk and laugh with each other and I could feel the anger bubbling inside me. I hadn't spoken to my boyfriend in three weeks expect over the phone. We finally had plans to met up then he stands me up to go to see his ex-girlfriend.
Great.
They disappeared out of my view and I was tempted to follow but I decide to be the bigger person and just go to the baseball game. There also a chance that I would have start yelling which no one wants to witness. I've had a boyfriend before and as much I loved him, he didn't have the best reaction when I was with someone else. I don't want to be like that with Skylar. What I need to do was pretend that I was cool. I paid for my drink before running back to my house which took less then a second. My family was getting ready to leave when I arrived and I put a smile on my face and walk towards them. "Hey you're back sooner then I thought." My mom said when she saw me. "How's Skylar?"
"Good," I lied. Maybe it wasn't a lie. Maybe he was doing just fine with his old girlfriend. It just wasn't with me. I felt my dad staring at me and I avoided his glaze. "He had to go and help his mom with something." My mom nodded. I didn't know if they could tell if they knew that I was lying but I didn't care. I need a distraction from everything. I really don't want to think about the fact that my boyfriend ditched me to hang out with his ex-girlfriend who I thought was still in Florida.
We all got into car and drove out to the spot in the forest where we always played. Everyone was there, having fun already even though the game hadn't even started but they were all smiling and goofing off. Before I could walk towards them, my dad grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the car. I could tell by the look on his face something was wrong and when he let go of my hand, he crossed his arms giving him the perfect dad look. "I'm sorry," He said.
"For what?"
"I'm sorry for how I acted after your attack. It's just-" He paused, looking away from me. "I know that you feel like I said those things at the family meeting because I only care about our secret getting out but that's not the truth. I acted that way because if anything were to ever happen to you or your mom, I don't know what I would ever do. I almost lost you two before many times and I don't plan on it ever really happening, you understand?" He asked. I nodded my head and he continued on, "You are greatest thing that I could ever ask for - and yes even though I didn't expect to have in the first place - I never loved anything more."
He pulled me into a hug and we held onto each other tightly. "I love you too, dad." I whispered into his chest. "Even though you promised never to read my mind."
My dad rolled his eyes, "I was just worried about you." He explained. This time I rolled my eyes. "Skylar is also an idiot for not meeting you today by the way." I gave him a soft smile before we both walked towards the game.
The game finished a couple hours later (with my team winning) but by the time we got home it was almost dark out and stars were starting to appear. I got out of the car with my parents in front of me who came to a complete stop a couple feet of our porch. I looked up to find Skylar Fisher sitting on the stairs of our porch. "Hey," He said, standing up awkwardly in front of my parents. "Hello Mrs. Cullen and Mr. Cullen."
My dad and my mom said hello back before pushing pass him into the house. "We'll let you two talk."
I told them goodnight and waited until the door was shut before turning towards my boyfriend. "Where were you?" I shouted at him.
"Where were you?" He shouted back. "I've been calling you all day."
"I was out of range for my family baseball game that I told you about." I said. He was about to say something in respond which would have probably been some lame excuse but I continued on. "Did you forget about that when you were hanging out with Becca? Like how you also forgot about our plans for this morning?" Skylar's face which was filled with annoyance suddenly drenched with guilt. "Yeah after I spent three weeks in my house only texting my boyfriend, I went to go see him today and found him with his ex-girlfriend Becca or something."
He didn't say anything at first then he said, "Her name is Beth." I wanted to slap him.
"Seriously? That's all you have to say." I shouted at him. "Look I'm tired and I don't want to talk about this right now." I tried to push him but he pulled me back. "Let me go inside, Skylar." I pushed his arm away and ran into my house. I heard him shout my name as mush as I was willing to run towards him, I continued into my house.
Skylar
I'm an idiot. An giant and complete idiot. I now understand why women hate man because we just complete and utter idiots. I had been really excited to see my girlfriend. It was the only thing that I had talked about for weeks. In fact I had talked about see her so much that Ava said that she was getting close to punching me in the face which she almost did. I was so happy this morning but then I before I could leave the house, I opened the door to find Beth standing in my doorway. She looked the same and I was just so happy to see her and then I became the worst boyfriend in the world.
"Ren, I'm sorry." I shouted at her window. "Please!"
"Go away, Skylar! I don't want to talk you to right now!" Renesmee shouted back.
"Not until you hear me out!" I shouted. She didn't say anything back and the light from her room was turned off. I sighed in defeat and began walking towards my car. I was about to leave when Mrs. Cullen came outside to my car. "Hey Mrs. Cullen." I said, rolling down the windows. "I was just getting to leave."
Mrs. Cullen pulled open the door of my car. "Get out of the car, Skylar." She said in a very nice voice but I still got out of the car. She grabbed my arm with a very tight grip and pulled towards their house. "Come inside and go talk to her. I love my daughter but she is very stubborn so sometimes you have to make her listen." Mrs. Cullen pulled through their small but pretty house while Mr. Cullen glared at me like he was thinking for different ways to kill me. Renesmee's door was covered with glittery flowers and black sign with a said 'Keep Out' with a skull. Mrs. Cullen didn't knock on the door, she carefully pushed opened in the door and pushed me through.
Renesmee was laying on her bed with her face buried into her pillow. I don't know if she knew that I was here because she didn't say anything. I didn't think that she was asleep because no one falls asleep that fast. I couldn't help but fall wandered around her room. It was weird that I had never seen the girl I loved's room before. I hadn't even seen her house until today when I came here to find her.
Her room was pretty small but very beautiful like her. The walls were a light shade of grey and they were covered with different posters and tiny little fairy lights trailed along the room. It wasn't neat at all each surprised me. There were clothes, books, and about thirty different pillows laying on the floor and hanging from the dresser and bed, which was also covered with fifty different blankets.
There was so many different piles of different objects all around the room. One of the piles was of different pictures of her and I smiled as I looked through. There was of her with a guy that look a little older then her, his arms was wrapped around her. I'm guessing that it was her old boyfriend, Jacob. Another one was of her when she was about like eight or maybe even younger wearing a baseball cap with blue C on it, smiling brightly like I had never seen her smile before and Stefan, who looked the same like he hadn't age a day, sitting right next to her. What the hell, I thought. I turned the picture to see a date and message write on the back.
Stefan and Nessie on her second birthday!
September 11, 2008
The picture fall out my fingers and back onto the dresser. Maybe it just like her second birthday with the Cullens but why wasn't that explained and why did Stefan look eighteen when he was only a year old then me. I back away from the dresser, accidentally knocking over one of the many things that was laying on the floor.
I heard her groaned and sit up on her bed. "I told you to go away." She muttered.
"I said that I wouldn't until you heard me out." I respond, shutting the doors so that her parents wouldn't be listening. "Please, I love you. Just let me explain everything." I pleaded walking to her bed.
She sat up on her bed and crossed her arms, avoid to look at me which made me feel even worse then I already felt. I deserved it though. "You have two minutes or I call my dad in to carry out of my house which I don't understand how you even found my address. I live in a forest."
"Marigold told me." I explained. "I promise it wasn't for any stalkier reason, I just need it because I was planning on surprising you on our date." Renesmee smiled. It was a small smile and I think she was sort laughing at me instead of thinking about how cute it was. "I'm sorry about missing our date. I was looking forward to it so much but-"
"You ex just happened to be in town." She choked. "Why is she anyway?"
"Summer vacation." That just made her laugh. "What? That's just want she said."
"We live in Forks, Washington. It only rains here and the sun only comes out once every year. Do you honestly expect me to believe that it's her summer vacation and she left sunny Florida for wannabe Iceland?" Renesmee asked. "Look Skylar, I really like you."
"And I really like you too and that can just be the end of our conversion." I said, sitting on her bed. I placed my arms on her shoulders, she didn't push me away. "Please don't make anything out of this. Beth showed up at my house this morning and wanted to hang out. I thought I could hang out with her for a bit then met up with you later but every time I tried to leave, she keep dragging me off to do something else. I'm sorry." Renesmee looked up at me, her brown eyes were big. "You are one of the most greatest things to ever happen to me." I said. "I love you."
"I love you too." She whispered, pushing my arms away. "But the thing is sometimes you have to be willing to put them first."
"My life can't just be focused around you."
"I know but you could have call me and just said hey I'm with a friend and you didn't." She got up from the bed, her back was facing me on. "I'm not just something for you to have whenever you feel like it." I shook my head before I could say anything, she continued on. "I mean she knows more about you that I do. You won't even tell me about your dad." I tried to reach out to her and tell her that it wasn't the truth but she didn't listen. "You should go home. It's late."
"No, we aren't done talking." I said with my voice cracking. "It's not you tell me everything either. I've never been your house until today or your room and I never thought I would see it like this. Half the information I know about you, I got from everyone at school."
Renesmee didn't say anything but walk towards me and kissing me lightly. It wasn't like any of our other kisses. It felt cold and distance like she was saying goodbye. "I'm not saying that I'm some perfect angel. Neither of us perfect at all but neither have also know that. We both think that we are just two perfect people with no baggage which is a giant lie." Renesmee said, tucking her curls behind her ears which honestly made me looking at her hurt even more. "You should go home and we both just need sometime to think about everything. Maybe we should just slow things down for a bit."
"No," I whispered.
"We aren't breaking up so there is nothing to be worried. We both just need to think about everything. It's for the best."
"Is it?" I asked and the room went silent. I told her goodbye before I walking out of the house. I went to my car and I felt her watching me from her window. I looked back out at her and she gave me a small wave before closing the curtains and I jumped back into my car. I thought about everything she said and I knew that she was right. From the moment I had met her, I had thought nothing but that she was the perfect person. The more I got to her though that image would so draft away but nothing changed how I felt about her. Renesmee was someone I loved but I barely knew and I planned to change that.
Ava was waiting for me in my room for some reason. "Hey Ava," I said, uneasily. "Why are you here?"
"One I saw you with Beth wandering around town, what is that all about? Second I was looking through some of our high school yearbooks and I found something that doesn't make sense." She explained, pulling the one of the yearbooks out of her bag and laying them my desk. "Look at this." She pointed at one of the pictures. It was a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Cullen who looked the same that did now.
"When was this taken?" I asked.
"2006," She said. "And get this, after they graduated high school, they disappeared for a couple of months before showing up with Renesmee. According to some people, she first showed up when she was like 7 months old but like a couple days later she looked four years old."
Like the picture, I thought. "Where did you get this stuff and why are you looking through this stuff?" I asked.
"It was at my front door with a note saying it was for me and a box of other stuff." Ava explained. "I know it sounds weird and I'm probably making something out of nothing but-"
"No, I think you are on to something." I said, cutting her off. "Believe or not, I saw something at her house night that sort of involves everything that you have here." I explained everything to Ava and we talked for hours about what all this could mean. But I know what it meant. My girlfriend said that she had baggage. Things from her past that she carried around with her. Something told me that it wasn't just her past she was carrying around but it was her families too.
Renesmee Cullen was something you would admire from a far because when you go to close, it was a different path from what you expected. It was a dangerous and reckless path but sometimes you have to ask yourself what you are willing to go through to get what you wanted.
That was what I had to think about.
A/N yeah so this was pretty angsty but I liked. The feel that is happening with Renesmee and Skylar is only happening because they were very insta lovey and I think that if they go through stuff like this it will be more realistic. I hope you enjoyed this. sorry it took me so long to post this.
