Chapter 28

Renesmee POV

"Guys? Renesmee has something she needs to tell us!" Layla shouted over their talk. All of their heads turned to face me. Some looked at me sympathetically. Others were intrigued as to what my news would be.

"What is it? She's still with Ian?" I heard Tina whisper to Zaz. Zaz sighed and moved away from her and I resisted the urge to laugh. At least we know where things stand. Maybe I've done these guys a favour. At least now, they don't have a bitch like Tina to worry about; but still, think of all the damage I've caused in such a short time. Being in Cambridge has been life-changing. Not only did I meet some great friends and get a boyfriend, but I met my family, my father. The entire lot of them! Not everyone can say that that has happened to them. Then again, not everyone is a half-vampire.

"Ren what's up?" Amy asked.

"Urm... There's some stuff me and my sister have to sort out. There are some relatives back home in the US that we're going to go and see. It means that we're leaving Cambridge." Amy's eyes widened and she opened her mouth.

"What?!" She screeched. "You can't leave! You've only just got here. Is this about Ian? I swear, you can't leave because of him. We need you here Renesmee." I immediately felt bad about having to leave, but I couldn't tell them the real reason.

"I'm sorry guys. I have to go. There's a lot we need to do, things have been hectic since we got here." I tried to explain.

"But that's not it! Tell them Ren... What you told me..." I looked at her bemused. But it didn't take me long for me to figure out what she meant. Exactly who I was going to the States with. "This bits good." I laughed once.

"Me and Bella, we're going with the Cullens." Every single head snapped up and stared at me, wide-eyed. I laughed again.

"Jesus christ! Why are you going with them?" Sophie asked.

"They're relatives. Ones we haven't seen for god knows how long. They were planning on going to America anyway to see family that we have there, Bella and I just thought we might as well go with them. They're like some of the only family we have left." Well, it's not a total lie is it.

"Well... I knew you were close with them, but now I know why!" Anthony put in. I smiled.

"I'm really sorry guys. You know, about leaving. I really am. I wish I could stay, but there are things me and my sister have to do." They nodded.

"So when do you leave?" Maria asked. I grimaced, and it must've been noticable.

"How soon then?" Amy asked. I smiled grimly.

"Today's my last day." She sighed. It was times like these that I loved having them as my friends. Even though I was leaving, they were probably some of the kindest, most fun Brits I have ever met. I knew I would miss them, but it was only now that I realised how much. In 46 years, they were the only friends I had made. Amy made her way over to me and hugged me tightly.

"I'm gonna miss you. You're the only one who's had the guts to put Tina in her place. Thank you." She whispered to me. I smiled as she pulled back. "Are you feeling okay?" I nodded, slightly confused.

"Fine. Why?"

"Your skin. It's boiling!" Oops. Keeping this secret has been quite hard these past few days. What with Ian and my uncles. To be honest, I'd forgotten that my temperature ran slightly higher than others. I thought other's hadn't noticed. Ian certainly hadn't when he'd held my hand or hugged me, but then again, he was probably preoccupied with keeping his infidelity a secret.

"Yeah I know. I've always been one or two degrees higher than normal. It's something the doctor says I have."

"Oh." She went and stood back where she was before.

"So this all means we don't have time to throw her a party!" Layla told the others. I laughed.

"Seriously Lay, you shouldn't worry about it. Hey, it's not like I'm going to be completely gone. I know how to use a phone. I have all of your numbers." I looked around the group. Some were smiling, some had their heads down. It seemed stupid, but these people had had such an impact on my life.

"We know! Come here..." Anthony came over to me and hugged me too and that soon started an entire round of hugs from everyone, except Tina who soon stalked off to her first lesson, though none of us were bothered. It seemed as though she had been knocked off of her high horse.

~*~

"You know this really isn't fair right?" Layla asked as I stood by my car, ready to leave. My family were waiting by their car, about to follow me to the used car place, then drive me home. We'll have no use for it soon.

I laughed quickly before giving her one last hug. The others had already said their goodbyes and we all promised to call and email each other as soon as I got settled. "I know. I'm sorry. But like I said, I have a phone. So do you." It was her turn to laugh.

"I'll never get over this. You, moving to America with the Cullens." She whispered it, not knowing that they could still hear it clearly.

"Yeah. It's a bit wierd and will take some getting used to, but they're my family." She nodded and smiled. "Anyways... I've got to go. Time to get ready to leave." She gave me another quick hug and I turned to the others who were standing a few metres behind, talking animatedly between them. They all turned to face me and smiled. "See you guys! I promise to text and email." I waved.

"You better!" I laughed and got in my car as the Cullens did the same. I started the engine and waved out my window. I sighed. It hadn't been long, but they were my friends. Now, I just wanted to get this over with. I wanted to get settled in Forks and have Victoria gone. Who knows, maybe we can come back! I knew it was far fetched, but you never know. I pulled out of the school taking one last look in my mirror at all of them. The entire group minus three. There was only one of those three that I was worried about and I was determined to see Lucas before I leave.

~*~

"Mom! We're here!" She came whizzing around the corner, cleaning products in her hand. I laughed and she frowned.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Seriously mom, I've never seen you with cleaning products in your hand in my life, what's so different this time?" She shrugged.

"Well, we're all packed. I wanted something to do. Something to keep myself busy. Edward has gone to do some flight booking and checking things in Forks." I nodded. Reasonable excuse.

"Fine. Anyway, seeing as we're all packed, does that mean I don't have to do anything?" She nodded and smiled.

"Yes!"

"Seriously? Renesmee's free?" I turned to Alice who had a grin on her face. "So Renesmee, how do you feel about some last minute shopping? We need a new outfit, we must arrive in Forks in style!" I laughed before the entire lot of us left. Mom included. To be honest, I was shocked when she dumped the cleaning products.

"Mom? You're coming?" She nodded.

"I can't stand cleaning much longer!" I laughed and she followed me to the Cullens' giant car, off for the final trip to Cambridge before we leave in the morning.

We soon arrived at the shopping centre and the group of us headed inside, gaining a few admiring stares along the way.

3 stores later and surprisingly few shopping bags we headed to the food court so I could get something to eat. We were almost at the queue for the pizza place when Uncle Emmett growled beside me. Rather loudly to be honest. We all turned to look at him before Uncle Jasper started growling too. I honestly couldn't see what they were looking at.

"Jeeze guys! What is it?" I asked.

"We thought we'd scared the living daylights out of him, obviously, we were wrong." Huh? I swiveled around before my eyes settled on two people sat in the corner. A set of crutches beside the table and untouched food. I gasped.

Sneaky, little, couple of... UGH!!

I started seeing red. My vision going blurry and my feet moving of their own accord. Only when I felt two pairs of cold hands on my arms did I realise what I was doing. I stopped and took a deep breath before turning back round to my family.

"I'm okay. I won't do anything." Rosalie and Alice let go of my arms and I stood there for a second. My back to the scum sat in the corner. I knew if I moved, I'd do something I would regret later on. Or something that would reveal our secret. That would not do.

But just becuase I was thinking rationally for the time being, didn't mean my uncles were. But there was no restraining them. Soon enough, they were marching over to the couple. Both of them with murderous glares.

My focus was on the two of them still. He had his tongue down her throat as my uncles advanced on them. He was still totally oblivious as to the wrath that he would soon face. It wasn't until Emmett and Jasper were towering over their table that they looked up.

Ian stared. Tina gulped. I smirked.
