Rosalie POV
We've been back in the US for two weeks now. If I say that the kids were happy to find out that we'd be moving back with the family I'd be lying. Shane and Ashlyn didn't necessarily get along with Renesmee. It started off with Renesmee thinking there spoiled brats then the kids retaliating saying Renesmee is a spoiled brat without actually using the words spoiled brat. Then Renesmee said something about them being childish all the time and the kids just laughed at her because Renesmee was acting childish. They held grudges against each other and the whole family and I knew that it wasn't looking good. They had this dislike for one another, well Renesmee did the kids just didn't really like her because she was in there words "mean to [them] and [they] don't even know what [they] did" which I agree to some length. The kids do fight back when Renesmee does something, but then again they won't stand there and take what she does to them.
A week before we left though it got really bad. Renesmee…well Renesmee figured out Ash was scared of Jane and thought it funny. So anytime she came past Ashlyn she'd touch her and show her a picture of Jane at the window or in front of her. Ashlyn didn't know what was happening at first, then when she figured out it was Renesmee using her power on her she flipped. The next time Renesmee came close to Ashlyn ready to "accidently" brush her skin against her's Ashlyn pushed her away. The whole family was stunned we had no idea what was going on. Renesmee angrily got up and touched and Ashlyn, Bella immediately pulled her shield off of Renesmee and Edward growled angrily. Renesmee however still didn't let go of Ashlyn. Ashlyn was shaking in her spot before anger rose in her and kicked Renesmee off of her. Ashlyn didn't get the chance to swing a punch and Renesmee didn't get a chance to tackle her down. however Renesmee did get a chance to get a whole lecture from the entire family except Emmett and I once we found out what she did we were to worried about Ashlyn and angry at Renesmee to even talk to her. Shane was the only one in control of his anger to go to Renesmee and talk to her. He didn't give her a lecture he just told her what happed with the volturi with complete detail. He repeated everything Ashlyn had told him word for word. He left Renesmee without another word after.
The rest of the vacation went well. Renesmee had to apologize and Ashlyn accepted it. Ashlyn stayed five feet away from Renesmee at all times. Shane and Ashlyn pranked Emmett, Emmett pranked the kids. The kids had a water balloon fight with Jasper and Emmett. We went into Dublin for two days. Relaxed at the house the rest of the time.
"Mom!" I heard Ashlyn yell from her room. I got up and walked upstairs, as a family we decided to move to New York before we move in with the family. The kids wanted to see where I lived, so we're moving to Rochester, New York.
"Yes, baby?" I asked as I opened her door. I stood shocked at the mess there was in her room. Clothes were all over the place, books on the floor, toys thrown all over her bead, and she was standing over a box. "What did you do to your room?" I asked. She huffed in frustration as a response. She had grown a lot during summer; she now looked like a middle schooler and she was still growing. Shane was growing as well in the beginning of summer they both looked like nine year olds and now they looked twelve.
"I don't know, there are so many clothes. A lot that doesn't even fit me anymore because I shot up during the summer. How am I supposed to pack all of this?" she asked as if it were the most impossible thing on the planet.
"Well, we sort through it. What doesn't fit you we give away and what does we keep. Same goes with your toys," I said as I started to sort through her clothes. Ashlyn looked at me like I was crazy.
"But, my favorite shirts and pants and," she started.
"Ash, you can't keep clothes that don't fit you anymore…I'm sorry baby," I said.
"Sentimental value mom," she whined, I just shook my head and continued looking through the clothes. I found a shirt with the tag still on.
"Ashlyn, this doesn't fit you and you never wore it," I stated, she looked at me and made a throwing up noise.
"Mom turn the shirt around…it has a corny unicorn on it. I still can't believe dad bought that," she muttered. I turned it around and sure enough the ugliest unicorn was on the shirt standing on a cloud with a rainbow in the background.
I sifted through the clothes and within the next two hours we had two piles of clothes that didn't fit Ashlyn and one pile that did. We had one pile of toys that she didn't want. All her books and toys she's keeping were in one box. Ashlyn looked at the pile of clothes that didn't fit her sadly. I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not the end of the world," I stated.
"But my favorite flannels are in there," she said, I looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"yeah and because they were your favorite I made your dad go back to the stores we bought them from and buy about four more of each in different sizes…so you could where them again and again. They'll last you a lifetime," I said as I pictured her wearing the shirts fifty years from now.
"Cool…wait what if they rip from old age and I have to throw it away?" she asked. I looked at her shocked not believing her.
"Surely you'll grow out of this phase were you love close to the point we have to have four other sizes for you when you grow," I stated.
"Alice loves clothes to the point she'd die if all the malls were destroyed," she stated and I laughed at the idea.
We finished packing all her clothes in boxes and had the boy's take it to the Salvation Army as Ashlyn and I packed the rest of her stuff. We were moving tomorrow to Rochester and I wanted things to run smoothly. The cars were already transported over there. We would be driving in Emmett's jeep with the utility trailer attached. It would be a road trip.
Shane POV
I was packing the last of my things since we're moving to Rochester. I know I agreed with the decision and I do want to move, but Monroe, Tennessee is all I've ever known. My life has changed so much since the beginning of the year. I have things I never thought I'd have; I have never felt more loved and cared for. I walked towards the window in my room and looked out. I heard my door open.
"Come one Shane I thought we were going to graffiti the dock with our names," Ashlyn said. I turned to her and nodded, I took her hand and we ran outside. We still had an hour before we'd leave.
We ran to the dock and once there sighed, like we had just been given all the air in the world. We got walked towards the middle and got on our knees. Ashlyn handed me one of dads chisels and we both started to carve. I glanced at her every once in a while as we carved our names onto it. Mom and dad said we'd come back in thirty years, when people in town forgot about us. We both finished carving our names and just sat down. I looked back at Ashlyn and blushed a little but she didn't see anything. We just sat at the edge of the dock. Our legs dangling, but not touching the water. We stayed silent, just remembering everything that happened here, all of our memories.
I took a glance at Ashlyn again and silently thanked her for saving my life. She told her parents about me, which led them to saving me. She was really reason why I now had a better life. I looked back at the river. I took a small rock that was on the dock and threw it in and watched as the water rippled below us. I sighed lightly and threw another one.
"Ash, Shane come on were going to be leaving soon," our dad yelled from our back yard. Ashlyn got up and dusted her jeans. She turned around and took a step.
"I'll miss it here to Shane…I'll give you some time," she said, I nodded thankfully and she walked away. I turned my head and watched her enter the trees. I blushed again; I took one of the chisel's and started to carved on the last plank. I wrote my initials, than Ashlyn's right under it. Once done I stood up and looked at the river again. I silently said my goodbye and ran to the house.
I saw Ashlyn on the back steps of the house she looked up, and then opened the door. We both ran inside taking in the house remembering everything that took place here, the good and even the bad. We walked outside toward the side of the house near the wooded area. Mom and Dad followed behind us. It was Balto's grave; dad had made his head stone. It Read Balto Hale McCarty, beloved dog, friend, protector and hero. Ashlyn knelt down in front of it; she put a single white rose in front of it.
"Goodbye Boy, I'll love you forever and ever…thanks for being my friend, my dog, protector and hero,' she whispered, she kissed the head stone, got up and walked back, she hugged mom tightly as she let a few tears fall.
We walked silently to the cars and got in. Both Ash and I looked behind at the house and once we started to exit our land we said one last goodbye and we drove off to Rochester. It was a silent ride, almost morose. We were quite and both of us nervous. Ashlyn and I were two small town country kids. We had the twang, listened to the music, and practically lived with nature. We were nervous moving into a city. A city that according to dad is a lot colder than Tennessee. We would need winter coats.
