Violetta
"Grandpa!" Renesmee exclaimed excitedly as she ran into his arms. Leah was smiling wide; Seth and Jacob looked at each other briefly and glanced around the room. Did they know Mason was back? Could they smell him? He was upstairs at the moment, getting changed.
Carlisle smiled as she kissed Renesmee's forehead. Leah hugged him next and he kissed hers too. Seth and Jacob greeted him with smiles.
Mason walked in slowly, he knew they others didn't really like him right now, so he was very nervous to be in here.
"Mason!" Renesmee said with the same amount of enthusiasm as she ran to him and hugged him. He returned the gesture and looked over to me. I smiled and glanced at Leah.
When Renesmee stepped away from Mason and returned to Jacobs' side. Leah walked out of the room, bumping Mason deliberately as she walked passed. She was still very unhappy with him.
"Yeah, I missed you too."
"Go back to Forks." Leah said snidely.
"Maybe you should. You can see Sam again."
Leah stopped dead in her tracks. Her body was heating up; I could see her start to breath heavier.
"Not inside Leah." Jacob said.
"Leon wants you to call him, Violetta." She said before she walked away and up the staircase. She never called me 'Vi' anymore; it was always 'Violetta' now. We hadn't talked in what felt like a long time. It wasn't until now that I realised how long it had been since I actually talked to her. I missed her a lot, it wasn't easy for me to stay away from her and Renesmee, my two best friends, but it wasn't easy for me to be around them, either. I couldn't win.
Mason stared at me before he turned, "I'll be back later." He walked to the front door and left. I knew he phased as soon as he was off the porch.
"You know, I really wish you didn't want to surprise everyone with your return Carlisle. I wanted to throw a welcome home party." Alice said, purposely ignoring Mason's departure.
"Parties, that's what's on your mind right now? Are you serious?" I asked her.
"I'm sorry that your boyfriends little issues don't interest me."
I went to stand up before Carlisle spoke, "Stop. Sit down Violetta."
I sat back down completely and gave him a questioning look.
"Anything you want to tell me?"
Renesmee, Seth and Jacob sat down silently and looked from Carlisle to me.
"No?" I wasn't sure what he was getting at. Then it hit me.
"You better not have said a thing. I will rip you to pieces." I looked Edward with the same warning in my eyes.
"Sorry…but you do know that Leon is only talking and making music with you because he knows and wants it from you, right?" He said.
"Are you sure there isn't anything?" Carlisle asked me.
"I'm not having this conversation with you." I shook my head.
"Yes you are."
My eyes went to Renesmee, Jacob and Seth, who all looked very uncomfortable, and it was now that I realised even they knew. Little did everyone around the school know that I wasn't having sex with anyone. I thought about it, and then I decided against it because I didn't want to disappoint my family any more than I already have, but then a few boys thought it would be fun to spread rumours.
Literally no one except for me and the people that spread the millions of rumours knew that everything going around school about me was false. Renesmee, Leah, Seth and Jacob even believed it all. Gullible. As if I would go and suck all the footy team's dicks.
Have you ever seen Easy A? Well it was sort of like that, except I wasn't going along and spreading all the rumours about myself, and everyone thought I was doing all of this inappropriate shit for free. If I were doing it, I would be charging.
"Oh my god." Edward shook his head, "Report it. That is serious bullying. People kill themselves over that."
"I know…I have sort of tried in the past…" I said.
"How often does this happen to you?"
"Too often. I guess my appearance just screams 'slut'."
"Does someone want to fill us in here?" Renesmee asked, "You have no idea how many people at school are teasing me over this."
"Oh, we no idea how many people are making you feel like shit? Really Ness?" I asked.
"I'm not the school slut." She said rudely.
I rolled my eyes, "Neither am I."
"Yes, you are." She nodded.
"Oh my god. I haven't fucked anyone!"
"Well that's—"
"Renesmee, they're rumours, and even if they were true, you should never speak to her like that." Edward said.
"And you never will again." Bella said with scolding eyes.
"Well you need to sort out your "rumours", because they're giving us all a bad reputation."
"You really have no idea what people are saying about you, do you?" I asked.
"Excuse me? What are they saying about me? Did you know they were talking about me?"
"No." Jacob shook his head.
Seth stayed silent.
"Seth did." I said, studying his very anxious eyes.
"Why are teenagers so mean?" Alice asked.
"They're insecure. They spread rumours to either take themselves out of the spotlight or to make themselves look better. New students are just the easiest targets."
My phone rang and I picked it up on the second ring, "I am not fucking with you, Leon. Go find a real slut." I hung up straight away and dropped my phone on the table.
"So everything going on with you hasn't just been Mason and Carlisle's absences?" Tanya asked.
"The rumours and bitches don't affect me." I said, although I was definitely lying.
"Bullshit." Jasper said.
"You've been separating yourself from Ness and the wolves not because of Mason and Carlisle, but because you didn't want them to be brought into it." Kate concluded.
"It apparently didn't work."
"I thought you hated us." Jacob said.
"Hmm, well there's still time." I said to him.
He smirked at me, "I can't wait for that day…"
"Well now I don't have a scream vocalist. I can't do it anymore."
"Why do you need a screamer?" Emmett asked.
"Did you want to start a badass band or not?"
A large grin spread across his face, "We'll find another one."
"Did you tell the school counsellor about the rumours?" Esme asked me.
"No. I do not like the school counsellor, and I refuse to speak to her about anything because none of it is her concern and she's a bitch."
"I thought she was nice." Renesmee said.
"Why did you see her?" Bella asked, concern filling her voice.
"Oh, no don't worry; I was just called in to spill on Vi."
"Which you seemed to do without a problem…" I said.
"I said I was sorry."
"I know you did."
Esme picked up her phone and started dialling a number. I looked at her questioningly as she held it to her ear. She avoided my eye contact. "Hey Trish, it's Esme Cullen. I was wondering if you were able to set up a meeting for my husband and I with the principal for tomorrow?" She looked at Carlisle who nodded. "And my two children."
"What? Who?" Renesmee asked.
Esme held her finger up as she listened to the talking that I couldn't hear. Normally I would have listened, but I had so much on my mind right now that I wasn't concerned about the office lady's response.
A few seconds past before Esme spoke again, "Okay great. Thank you. I'll see you then." She hung up and put her phone down, "10:00. They'll take you out of class, Vi."
"2 children?" I asked.
"Jasper." She said, glancing at him.
He smiled, "Yes, I got an invite."
"Why are we meeting with the principal?"
"To see what can be done about the rumours."
"No." I said.
"Yes." Carlisle nodded.
"No, because you'll make a big deal about it and it'll get worse."
"It never got worse for Bella when we did something about it." Esme said.
Bella cleared her throat, "Well…"
"It got worse?"
Bella nodded, "So much worse."
"Why didn't anyone tell us?"
"Bella didn't want you to feel guilty, and we didn't want to upset Bella." Alice said.
"It didn't really matter, they got over it."
Mason walked through the front door and into the living room, "There is a Leon here to see you in the driveway."
I rolled my eyes and stood up as I walked to the door. "What are you doing here?"
"You said to find a real slut." He said.
"I haven't fucked anyone, Leon. No one but my boyfriend."
"I thought you hated him. Leah said you hated him. Is she here?"
"She isn't a slut." I said.
"Well, there are some things that you don't know, apparently."
"More rumours?"
"No…Leah fucked my best friend, Michael, and then she fucked Adam, you know, Adam Greene?"
"She did not." I shook my head.
"I did." Leah said from the porch steps.
"You what!?" Renesmee asked her with wide eyes. She was shocked. "You banged Adam Greene!?"
"Fucking two guys does not make you a slut."
"In the same night?" Leon raised his eyebrows.
"Get off my property or I will call my brothers out."
"I could probably take them." Leon was strong, and he was big, but he was no way near as strong as a vampire, or ever as strong as Garrett or Jasper would be if they were human, even. He would never even think of challenging Emmett.
"You think? Emmett, Garrett!" I called inside.
They walked out with smirks. Rosalie and Kate trailed behind them. Carlisle and Esme walked out after them.
"You're the one spreading most of the rumours, you little bitch." Kate said. Edward walked out and approached us. Mason was watching intently from the porch steps.
"What are you going to do about the music then? I'm not screaming for you." He said to me, ignoring Edward and pretending not to be intimidated by all the men currently outside, Mason and Carlisle included.
"I am more than capable of playing a different song…" I said, "You are a shit screamer anyway." It was true, he was. He was not good at all, and he couldn't hold his voice steady for the amount of the time that he needed. I could find much better.
"Good luck starting the band you want with your brothers and without me."
"How do you even know about that?"
"Leah wasn't too far away from fucking me too before your bitch of a mother called her."
Anger rose inside me. I lifted my hand and punched him. His nose started to bleed as I lifted him up by hit shirt and threw him against the wall of the garage. It was probably a bit too hard to be done by a human 16 year old girl, but I didn't care. "Don't you ever speak off my mother like that again. I will kill you."
"Violetta. Enough." Carlisle said sternly. I heard him approach quickly. He put his hand on my shoulder and put a small amount of force on so I would step backwards. I obeyed and let go of Leon, taking a few steps back. Carlisle turned to Leon, "Get off my property right now."
"See you at school…" Leon said menacingly as he turned and walked down the driveway.
Carlisle turned back to me once he was far enough away, "Too hard. Do you want to reveal our kind?"
I shook my head slightly. "Did you not hear what he called your wife?"
"My wife doesn't give a shit what a horny criminal kid thinks of her. And she can control herself."
I took a breath as I felt the anger fade and tears stung my eyes. I blinked them away. I knew the school situation was going to get to me sooner or later, I just didn't expect it to be in front of my whole family, who all were standing outside now. I tried my hardest to hold it all back, but you know how it is when someone says those words and it just breaks you.
"Hey, honey are you okay?" Jasper asked me as he approached and put his arm around my shoulders. Those damn words, they always set me off.
The tears welled in my eyes and I tried not to let them fall, but a few did and I wiped them away quickly. Everything in Carlisle washed away and was replaced with concern and sympathy. I bit my lip and closed my eyes as more tears fell. Jasper wiped a few away and pulled me into him.
"She's still beautiful when she cries. It's ridiculous, I'm so jealous." I heard Renesmee say.
It was cold outside today, and being in Jasper's arms was not helping that.
"She's cold, man. Let Mason take over." Edward said quietly.
He lifted me up slightly and we appeared on the porch. He placed my feet back on the ground gently and smiled at Mason before walking inside with Alice. Carlisle walked passed and kissed my hair before going inside behind everyone else.
"It's just the pressure of the rumours and bitches, isn't it? Renesmee caught me up." He said quietly.
I nodded and looked up at him.
"God, I missed your adorable face." He shook his head, "I don't know how I could be so stupid."
"It doesn't matter." I whispered before placing a long, soft kiss on his lips. "Just stay. And tell me you love me."
"I love you, Violetta Anne Cullen."
"Wait, how did you know my middle name was Anne?"
"I don't know, I just do. I used to think you just called it that because Esme, but now I'm not sure."
I smiled, "Yeah, I never had one, so I took Esme's. Anyway, I love you too, Mason James Clearwater."
I laughed then.
"What?" He asked.
"You have two first names."
"So do you! Anne is a first name."
"Not anymore." I shook my head, "No one calls their child Anne in this era."
He rolled his eyes and kissed me, "I'll be with you forever and always."
"To infinity and beyond…" I said quietly.
He laughed, "You have to ruin the moment."
"Toy story is the bomb."
"You hate Disney movies."
"I hate most Disney movies. Toy Story, Mulan and Brave are the best movies ever."
"What about The Avengers series? Harry Potter?"
"Yeah, okay, some of the best movies ever."
"Do you like Mulan or The Avengers better?" He asked as we walked inside.
"Hmm…The Avengers."
"Marvel or DC?" Garrett asked when we reached the living room.
"Marvel all the way. I don't really like DC. Except for the Joker and Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn is the bomb. I was her in a photo-shoot once, actually. I even dyed the ends of my hair for it, you know, the 2016 movie style."
"Oh my god, you went too far…" Kate said.
I smiled, "I think I went just far enough."
