No Need to Say Goodbye

Chapter Eleven

Hey you all, sorry about the long wait on the update :) This chapter is dedicated to a reader of mine called BrittaniBruiser. This is for you :) Thanks for reading you all. Don't forget, I love reviews! :)

Two days had passed since Nessie had gained herself a boyfriend...

Wandering out of her room at the mere crack of dawn, unable to sleep after her random wake up, Nessie decided to explore the place. She wandered up and down halls, imprinting the way through her mind. Suddenly, she reached a room that she'd never seen nor entered before.

"I wonder..." She muttered, pushing the door open.

As she stepped inside, a breath was drawn by her as eyes lay upon the most beautiful grand piano she'd ever seen. It was, in fact, much like her father's and the memory of her loving parents resulted in slightly tearing up eyes. Sitting on the cool piano stool felt so good in the summer heat. Nessie ran her fingers around the keys and started out to play a tune that her father had dubbed, 'Bella's Lullaby.' Her fingers ran smoothly along each preferred key in the melody, but to some extent, she knew that she'd never reach her father's perfect playing.

The door to the place she'd found suddenly creaked open and a familiar face popped in. Her fingers slowed down heavily on the notes and she soon came to a full stop on the song she was playing.

"Hey, what's up?" She mused to the boy rubbing his eyes.

Alec shrugged, "I really wish I could sleep."

Nessie grinned, "Should have before a half like me." She joked sleepily.

Alec grinned and scooted next to her on the seat, "You have no idea how good that sounds."

Nessie shrugged, running her fingers along the keys and starting up a randomized tune that seemed to carry away into the never ending Italy night.

"That sounds nice."

Nessie smiled and stopped looking up into Alec's deep red eyes; a shiver ran down her spine despite the almost sticky heat. She sighed and bit her lip shrugging.

"Yeah, well."

Alec smiled back and got up, walking towards a glass pane window in the room. Light slowly but surely began to sweep through the room as the sun began to rise. The warm grew more comfortable and washed Nessie to the tips of her toes.

"Why are you up so early?" Alec mused in amusement.

She grinned and shrugged, "Uh, just a little excited to be going out with Tristan today."

Something that Nessie didn't catch flashed through Alec's eyes. His shoulders tensed and eyes narrowed. That boy again... It hadn't been too long since she'd been in Italy and she was already infatuated with some boy. Alec frowned to himself. No, something wasn't right. Why was he feeling like this? It was just Renesmee Cullen. He didn't have to hate her, but he wasn't going to go and love her to death either. Neutral, almost nice to her was what he was trying to do now. Maybe he just wanted to show her for some reason that he was a good guy. He wasn't a jerk, well, maybe he was, but Nessie didn't have to know that anymore... there was something about her that wanted him to show that he could be just as wholesome. Sure, she might be a spoilt brat at times but she was a good person inside. Alec held in a frustrated sigh. Why was he even thinking like this? Why did he have such a bad feeling about this stupid Tristan she so doted about?

Nessie on the other hand was grinning stupidly at the thought of Tristan. He was beautiful and a good person. He mad her laugh and he was normal. She felt like she didn't have to try with him. Not that it was a good or bad thing... she didn't know... she just felt like she could be relaxed. Smiling to herself, she excused herself from the room and slipped out, catching one last glance at her new found friend Alec. He stood at the window, tall and as flattered as a Greek god...only some much for beautiful than those sculptors. The sun hits his cheeks and threw glittering sparkles literally taking her breath away. With one last smile to herself, she slipped out and walked back towards her bedroom.

Smiling a silly smile to her own self, Nessie grinned as she thought of Tristan. Beautiful Tristan... she was sure she loved him. He was everything she ever wanted.

Getting dressed into a light pale blue floral summer dress, she sighed, running her fingers through her long copper tendrils. Knocking on Alec's door, she smiled as he opened it, his eyes bored and hair wet.

"Sorry, were you busy?" Nessie grinned.

Alec shook his head quickly, a smile growing on his lips as Nessie yelped from the sudden on shower of water.

"Nah just finished a shower."
Nessie growled and brushed off her dress, "I hope you enjoyed that."
Alec smirked, "Shower? I sure did."

Nessie rolled her eyes, "Anyway, I was just here to tell you that I'm gonna go out and find Tristan."

An eyebrow was quirked up, "Um, that's lovely?"

A sigh met him, "What I meant was can I please have some privacy Mr-I-have-to-follow-you-around?"

"Why do you need privacy?"

Nessie growled in warning then shrugged, "I don't know... just wanna tell him something."

A smooth expression shifted on Alec's face and his eyes lit up.

"Oh you silly girl..." He smoothly muttered.

Nessie's own face shifted into shock, "What!"

Alec leaned against his doorframe, "I've seen this a thousand times. Girl meets guy, girl likes guy, girl goes out with guy, and girl falls in love with guy and then kaboom!"

"Kaboom...?" Nessie retorted incredulously.

Alec shrugged, "Then you get your heart crushed. Trust me, he's a testosterone filled guy. He's probably just using you. And you know what, you kind of fell for it you naive little girl. Don't tell him you love him."

Nessie hissed, "You can't tell me what I can't and can do you know! Tristan is everything I've ever wanted... I can relax around him and I can smile and laugh and you know... stuff! So I think that he would be ecstatic to hear how I feel about him."

Alec sighed and ran a hair through his dishevelled hair, "Your funeral my dear."

Nessie rolled her eyes and pushed Alec hard so he stumbled.

"I really hate you sometimes you know." She hissed.

With that, she took a deep breath and walked away and out of the Volturi Castle. She walked into the sunlight, smiling at the way her skin glowed beautifully in the sunlight. It wasn't sparkling but it wasn't a human looking either... it was a soft glow that looked natural enough but also gave the vision of a goddess. She smiled as she imagined the happy look on Tristan's face when she would tell him that she loved him. It was fair, in her mind, for her tell him so... only a day ago did Tristan kiss her and tell her that no secrets were to be kept... so she was going to tell him how she really felt. The whole vampire thing could wait another day.

Besides, he told her first that he liked her, now it was her turn for another big gesture...

Her eyes scanned the square as she walked out, ignoring all the lustful stares from other boys in the square. There it was. The little corner store where her boyfriend worked at. With an exuberant smile etched onto her face, she walked, a little quicker than a normal person towards the shop practically shaking with excitement.

Ah...

There he was.

Oh god.

With another girl...!

Her smile choked in her throat and she gulped down a shriek of shock. Tristan was in the shop, his arm around the waist of a tanned girl with platinum blonde hair and a beach body. The girl's own arms were slung around his neck and they were both locked together in a passionate kiss. Nessie's knees ducked as her body started to lose all togetherness. She had never felt so humiliated, so betrayed, so mad! God! He was a jerk! Asshole! Screwed up loser! Bitch!

Then she ran.

Tears were pouring down her face, and she ran too fast for the normal eye to see. In less than five minutes she was back to the doors of the castle, tears streaming down her face. She half wanted to turn straight around and rip the girl to shreds! Then she was going to kill that betraying ass! Racking sobs stopped her for doing that as she slipping back inside the confinement of the castle, back pressed against the wall and she slid down. Her bottom sat dejectedly on the floor and she hung her hands over her head. Shaking with gurgling tears she choked up and started to sob silently.

Suddenly, pair of hands was stroking her arms and she looked up to see the expressionless face of Alec crouched down in front of her. Unable to contain herself anymore she slid forward into him, her face on his hard chest. Muscled torso held her up and wrapped comforting arms around her. Before he knew it, he was sighing into her hair and comforting her.

"Shh... it's okay..."

Nessie gurgled the next sentence out very unattractively, "I'm so sorry, I should have listened to you. I'm such an idiot. Oh god, why am I such a naive self centred person?"

Alec held back a chuckled, "You're not an idiot."

They stayed there for the next while, Renesmee crying in his arms and his arms wrapped securely around her back rocking her back and forth using the weight on his heels. Sighing into her hair once more, he shook his eyes, eyes flipping towards the Heavens and frowning. He wanted to kill that stupid boy that hurt her feelings. He would have ripped apart those people that hurt her. The only thing stopping her was the girl in his arms as he soothed her.
