A/N : Alright so you guys probably thought I disappeared off the face of planet and I'm so sorry about that.

I don't normally take this long to update and I apologize. I just couldn't write this chapter. Good mood+depressing chapter=me depressed.

Umm, I want to thank you for sticking with me for this long. I never thought I would get this kind of response to my story.

In the beginning I had only a few people reviewing me but there are a lot of loyal readers and I appreciate every one of your reviews, I truly do.

So without further a do, chapter 27 everybody. Enjoy.

Bella's Point of View

The first night that Ross had left Nessie made our entire family feel horrible. We didn't know what to do for her and none of us wanted to leave her alone. It was like we all lost a member of the family and now I understood how they felt when I wasn't around. When any of the Cullens decide that they are dating somebody it is more like somebody getting married. We don't care who you are or where you come from or what you are, we love you no matter what.

Nessie was half vampire, half human and if anything that made us love her even more. Ross was all human, just like I was when I was invited into this family, and I understood why Edward always felt the need to protect me. Ross was fragile, even though to the human eye he could take care of himself, and all of this made our family love him anymore. Nessie made her choice to be with him and we all respected her for it. At the moment none of us were happy with Ross for how he just up and left but we all knew in our hearts that he would come back. There was no staying away from the Cullens for long.

He was just panicked. There was no normal way to handle being told that your girlfriend is half vampire. It's not easy for anybody or anything. Writing music was the only way that I could think of speaking to him. The melody came through my head and through my fingers onto the piano. I was thinking of their story, which at the moment was a little tragic, and it made great inspiration for a composition. I thought of things that I would want to say to Ross if I ever got the chance to.

I realized after playing for a little while why musicians were always putting their thoughts through music. It was relaxing for me but at times frustrating as I tried to find the right words to say. I'm sure the entire house could feel my frustration but nobody came to help me. I was in my own little world and I was happy that I finally had some type of talent.

After playing piano until late in the morning, I put my focus back on my daughter. No matter how well I was playing and how much of a role I was on, my daughter was the most significant problem right now. I didn't want her to be destroyed like I was when Edward left. I didn't want her thinking that Ross would never come back and I didn't want her to be depressed.

I walked downstairs and everybody was in the living room sitting in silence. I walked over and sat on Edward's lap.

"What going on," I whispered. He looked at me and then looked down. I looked towards the floor and listened intently. I was confused.

"She finally fell into a deep sleep," he stated even quieter than I had. "We aren't making any noise. Apparently you put her to sleep."

"It calmed her," I asked confused.

"Yes love," he stated before kissing my forehead.

I smiled to myself as I listened to the quiet house and Renesmee's soft breathing. It was enlightening to finally have a quiet house just because it was so unusual. After sitting for hours just listening to Nessie sleeping, I decided to go hunting for a little while and maybe she would be up by the time that I got home.

I was sneaking up on an elk when I heard somebody coming at me from behind. I turned around just in time to see Renesmee jump on me with a huge smile on her face. What the hell was going on?

"Hi honey," I said lying on the ground with her on top of me. "What's up with you?"

"Did I scare you," she asked.

"A little bit, yes. I don't really like hunting by myself."

"I know you don't, that's why I'm here."

"Shouldn't I be helping you," I asked as she got up off of me and we sat with our legs crossed facing each other. I took my hand and held hers before she answered my question.

"Partially but I'll be fine as long as I don't talk about it. Everything will work out."

"How did you come to that realization?"

"I don't know I guess that it just came to me. Ross is just somebody that I know will be in my life forever. Even if he doesn't know it yet. I know that he will come around."

"But are you okay?"

"I'm getting there. I will be. I think I just need to not think about it."

"How is that working out?"

"Not too good," she admitted to me. I felt bad for her because she was stronger than I ever was. I couldn't even talk to anybody when Edward left me but maybe the circumstances are different. I thought that he was never coming back and it wasn't as if he left because he found out what I was. It was a bigger deal than that. But Ross was going to come back; we all had a feeling about it. Once the Cullens except you into the family, it is hard to stay away from them. It's just one of those things in the universe that can't be explained because there is some sort of gravitational pull towards them. I knew that Ross would have a hard time thinking about everything and trying to comprehend it all. It might take a while for him to figure everything out.

But Nessie would wait for him to figure it out because she could be patient with him. Nessie was too great of a person to walk away from. She was a catch and any guy would be lucky to have her. But perhaps I was a little bit biased considering she was my daughter. Every teacher I ever had told me when I had kids that everything in life would change and I never believed them until I found out I was pregnant. Even though it wasn't a normal pregnancy I knew I loved her from the moment that I knew.

"Everything will work out Nessie. Did I ever tell you about the time that your dad left me?"

"Yeah."

"He came back didn't he?"

"Yes but daddy is a lot different than Ross. He left out of stupidity thinking that you would be better off. Ross is just freaked out right now."

"He'll be back sweetie. Ross is a lot different than your dad but in a lot of ways they are alike. For one, they both love us."

"Did you hear that part," she said shamefully.

"Yes I did."

"It figures that the first time that we say we love each other is when we are in a massive fight."

"You wouldn't have it any other way."

"Nope, not at all."

"But you meant it right, all of it?"

"Of course I did. I don't say that I love you to everybody. He is someone special to me and he is the first person that I have felt those kinds of feelings for. I don't know what it is about him but there is just something about him that I can't quite describe and that is why I do love him. He is just so much different from any other person that I have met."

"Do you think he is different because you haven't talked to anybody human before?"

"No he is different from everybody else. He is the only one who had good intentions with me. There is just that personality and aura about him that I can't understand but it's so intriguing. There is just so many different things about him that I love and I don't think that it is something that will ever go away."

"You feel that strongly about him don't you?"

"Isn't that what I've been trying to convey this entire time."

"Don't be snippy to me missy," I stated touching the tip of her nose. "I'm only looking out for you."

"I know mom, I know. You don't have to be overly protective of me."

"Not overly protective but at least a little bit. I am still your mom after all."

"I know you are and I love you for being such a great mom but I don't need to be looked over every second of the day. I'm not a little kid anymore."

"Well honey you may look like your 17 but you are only 7 years old. I should still have another 10 years to be protective of you. And even then I am still your mother and I will always look out for you and your best interests."

"Okay and right now it is in my best interest and yours to go hunting," she stated gracefully lifting herself off the ground. She extended her hand to mine and helped me off of the ground and once I was standing we took off running into the forest.

Renesmee's Point of View

Hunting with my mom did take my mind off of things for a little while but once we were finished and I was sitting at the piano, I couldn't take my mind off of Ross. I knew that I loved him and I wanted him to come back home so he wouldn't be living on the streets. I wanted him to forgive me and I wanted us to live with each other and love each other without it being awkward. I wanted him to understand what I was and I didn't want him to be freaked out about everything. Most of all I just wanted him to listen to his heart.

I remembered every time that we touched and how the way that he would hold my hand it would send a shock through me. Even the simplest thing like holding my hips going over a tree in the forest or holding hands when we were at school or sneaking hugs and kisses in when my family wasn't around, I missed. He had been everything in my life for the last few months. Every minute of every day was spent thinking about him and how much I loved him.

And now I spend every moment thinking of him but it's not in a good way. I want to miss him and know when I will see him again. I don't want to know that he is out there all on his own and there is no possible way to talk to him. He left last night and I already missed him. It wasn't like we hadn't spent this much time apart before but it was different now. Everything was different from before. Now he knew what I was.

I didn't want him to find out the way that he did. I wanted to tell him when the time was right but who knows when that would have been. I don't think that there would ever be a time to say 'by the way I'm half vampire.' Oh yeah because that always goes over well. I think that he reacted the same way that anybody else would have.

Ross is just one of those people who knows exactly how I was feeling without me even saying a word. Everything about him just entices me and I don't know what I would do if he was gone forever. I guess in my case the definition of love is that you wouldn't be able to live without them.

Even though we haven't known each other for a long time I feel like I have known him forever. And in the grand scheme of things I'm glad that he knows the truth about me. I can be myself around him now and he can know who my true family is. I don't have to pretend with him anymore, as long as he comes back.

I believe in my heart he will come back but my mind says something different. I'm trying to brace myself incase he doesn't come back because I don't want to get my hopes up. I want the devastation to come in slow paces, not all at once. Keeping my mind off of him was working out so well.

My fingers grazed over the piano keys and started playing a familiar tone. I had heard it last night when I was trying to sleep. For some reason the tempo seemed to relax me. I don't know who was playing or who came up with the idea but all I could guess was that it was my dad. He always had a way of relaxing me with music. Every composition he had ever written was beautiful. There was no doubt about that.

As the song drifted to a close I played the song that I had written. As I played the keys the lyrics now seemed to just flow out of me. I knew from the minute I heard the song that it was about Ross. How the chorus seemed to be climatic even with little variation of the keys and the end was peaceful, serene, completely fitting of the man that I loved.

It was one thing I never shared with Ross. I didn't want him to think it was horrible or that I was obsessive for writing a song about him. My music creations were the only things I could keep private from him. But even this was hard to keep. He had this quality about him where I wanted to tell him everything and now he knew everything except for my music. However, now I even wanted him to know about this.

Once I thought the song was perfect I put a plan into action to get him to hear it. I recorded the piano piece of my song before putting the lyrics over it. It took a long time to make everything perfect and before I knew it it was 3 in the morning. I hadn't realized how much time had passed because I wasn't remotely tired. Maybe it was because I slept so much the night before. I took the cd out and placed it on top of the piano before heading off to talk to Alice.

I knocked on the door to her and Jasper's room and immediately heard her say, "Come in Nessie." I walked in and she and Jasper were sitting at the top of the bed. Jasper had his legs spread out in front of him reading a book and Alice was sitting with her legs crossed with a magazine closed on the nightstand next to her. "What on your mind," she asked me patting the bed in front of her. I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed with my legs hanging off the side not looking at her.

"I was wondering if you've been keeping tabs on Ross," I asked ashamed.

"A little bit but he disappeared. I can't see him right now."

"Oh no, is he okay?"

"All signs point to that but I don't know Nessie. Maybe he's just chosen to come back to you."

"How long have you not been able to see him," I asked panicked.

"After he left I saw him for a few minutes but after that nothing. He was trying to decide where to go and then all of a sudden it disappeared. I'm sure that we will hear from him soon."

"Damn me, seriously," I yelled frustrated putting my head in my hands. "Because of me we can't see him and because of me something bad might have happened to him. I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to him. I should have followed him to make sure that he was okay. Oh my god, I'm the worst person in the world."

"Nessie it's not your responsibility to protect him. I went through this with Edward and Bella too. You can't protect him every second of every day. He needed to be alone with his thoughts. I'm sure that he is just trying to figure out what to do. You just need to relax."

"And do what," I asked sadly. "I've tried everything. I hunted, I played music for so long I think that my fingers hurt."

"Well I've got something that could keep your mind off of things," she said with a devilish tone.

"What? You're not going all extreme makeover on me."

"Maybe in the morning when the mall opens up we can get you a whole new wardrobe."

"Alice how many different wardrobes do I need?"

"This could be your 'gothic' wardrobe. All black and mysterious and we could do up the make-up and everything. We could even put insane color extensions into your hair."

"Oh yeah, like I need anymore of that," I stated running my fingers through my messy bush of hair. "I have so much of it to begin with."

"But it would be so much fun, please? That way we can all get new wardrobes."

"Aren't you doing enough for Christmas?"

"Not enough though. Come on Nessie, please."

"Fine we will go in the morning. I need to go keep myself occupied until then."

"We can do the hair now if you want," Alice stated excitedly jumping off the bed and running towards the bathroom. I looked at Jasper and he looked kind of upset.

"Am I interrupting your evening Uncle Jazz," I asked seriously laying across the bed and putting my chin in my hands looking up to him.

"No that's not it."

"What's going on?"

"You never want me to tell you how you are feeling so I really don't think you want to hear about it," he whispered. Oh, I sometimes forgot how the people around him affected his mood.

"Oh jeez I'm sorry. I really am."

"You don't want to know do you?"

"Not really because I'm confused as it is."

"Your mood is confused and changing every moment."

"What do you mean?"

"Your upset, your angry, your regretful, your depressed, you got happy when Alice mentioned shopping, you resented yourself when you let Ross leave and right now you are feeling sorrow for making my emotions all jumbled."

"I'm sorry. I should probably get out of here then."

"Go see Alice because I know it will make you happy. Plus if you do a bright pink or something in your hair your parents will freak." He chuckled under his breath and I laughed springing up off of the bed and into the bathroom to a waiting Alice.

Alice's Point of View

I had been trying to cheer Nessie up for the past few days. I pulled out every arsenal I had to make her happy. The hair came out amazing if I do say so myself because with her brown hair she now has bright blue extensions in her hair. The look on Edward's face was one that I would never forget. It made it worth it for us to do that so I can have the picture burned into my brain forever. Not to mention the fact that Renesmee could show the picture anytime she wanted.

The next morning we went out shopping. I don't think that she even slept. Maybe it was all of the sleep the night before. I had been trying to look out for the future when I wasn't around her but sometimes it was better to live in the present and try to help the family around you. Right now Nessie needed me more than I needed to be looking for something I could look for later.

The mall was a complete success and not many people where there because it was so early in the morning. We were waiting out in the parking lot when the mall officially opened. Every time we passed a store and I thought it was a cute outfit Nessie could wear out on a date I bought it. I knew in my heart that he was coming back. I didn't need any vision to tell me that. I could tell by looking at them together that they were just like the rest of us.

Whenever Jacob looked at her the way that he did I never got a good feeling about it. Not because I didn't like Jacob to begin with but for some reason I could sense that they were not meant for each other. Nessie and Jacob are two different people that are still so much alike but I don't think that they are soul mates. Renesmee and Ross are perfect for each other and the minute that I saw him walk into the cafeteria that day I knew that there was something different about him then all the other humans.

Ross had now officially been gone 4 days and everybody in the house was starting to get worried. I was sure that he had enough time to figure out what he was doing. I decided to go out for a nice hike in the woods by myself to get some alone time. I needed some time to look into the future that I had been avoiding the past few days. I rarely left Renesmee's side and the entire family was there too. We played every game known to man including an entire 24 hours of guitar hero. Every guitar hero that was ever made we beat on the highest level and it was just one of the things that we did to pass the time without her having to think too much about everything that was going on. For some reason she wasn't sleeping as much as she had before but we all said that it was because she was heartbroken and her body wouldn't let her sleep. She was too upset to sleep.

Once I was far away from the house I sat on a rock and listened to my surroundings. I focused on Ross for a moment, searching in every reach of my mind. I hated that I couldn't see him but slowly he was coming into focus. He was standing in the woods with his car beside him and he was staring up at a house. I looked closely at the house and realized that he was in Forks. Why the hell was he in Forks? He walked around the entire house and every nook and cranny and he ended up in the basement on Renesmee's bed. I realized now that he was probably with Jacob for some unknown reason and that was why I couldn't see him. I wanted to know what had happened but I knew that Ross was safe and that's all that mattered.

All of a sudden a flash came into my head. The Volturi were all standing together and they were in a house. I hadn't ever seen it but the yard outside looked familiar. I tried to search through my memory to figure out where I had seen it before. I searched and searched and searched.

"Oh my God," I screamed running through the forest. Why had I gone this far? I should have stayed closer to the house.

Ann's Point of View

After the long day of trying to entertain everybody, Alex and I were sitting in our bed listening to the radio trying to play name that tune. We did that a lot to pass the time. Everything that we did we tried to have fun with. He would beat me sometimes but mostly that was because he froze time so that he could think of the song before I did. It was a totally unfair advantage and once I caught on to what he was doing I would zap him. Hey, turn around is fair play. We were in the middle of trying to figure out what CCR song was on the radio when my cell phone buzzed on the nightstand. I looked at the number and didn't recognize it. But the area code was 413 and that was the Western Massachusetts zip code.

"Hello," I said unknowingly.

"Ann," a woman said with a raspy voice. "Ann, it's mom. Josh is gone."

A/N: Incase you forgot, Josh is Ann's brother. He figured out everything. So on and so on. Go back and read chapter 22 to remember if you need to.

Okay the crap has hit the fan and on with the action. Umm thank you for reading this, i love all of you.

353 reviews (freaking amazing), 171 favorites (holy crap) and 105 alerts (amazing) And insanely 21,538 hits. I can't believe this and there was 30 reviews for the last chapter alone.

Please keep the reviews coming, they really do inspire me. I was thinking of a sequel eventually but there is still at least 10 chapters of this and we will see where to go after all of that happens.

If I haven't updated in a while look at my profile page and it will say something about it.

Also the songs that Bella and Renesmee wrote will be on links in my profile for you to listen to if you'd like.

I haven't left this long of an author's note in a while, sorry.
