Chapter 1: New Start

Nessie's POV

I walked as swiftly as I could through the snow. Eager to get to school as fast as possible. It was not that I was eager to attend school. Quite the contrary actually. I hated the idea of attending a new school in the middle of a my junior year of high school. If it weren't for my parents I would have never gone here. No, I was just eager to get out of the snow and into a warm building.

I was mentally cursing my father right now. Who makes their pregnant daughter walk two miles to a brand new school in the snow? Apparently my father. Perhaps it was his way of practicing "tough love" these days. I sighed. I missed home. I knew if I asked my mom if I could return home she'd say no without hesitation. I missed New York. Now I was forced to live in Alaska of all places.

The last two years had been a huge downward spiral for me. Two years ago my twin brother, EJ, was killed by a drunk driver while walking home from school. I was there when it happened. He pushed me out of the way when he saw the car coming so I wouldn't get hit. My brother wasn't so lucky though. He died at the hospital later that day.

My brother and I had been close for as long as I could remember. He was always there for me. I was always there for him. We were inseparable. One day he was there and the next he was not. What was worse is that the drunk driver only got a month of jail time. He killed my twin brother and only got a month. I didn't take his passing well at all. Then when my parents decided to get a divorce shortly afterwards I just completely spiraled out of control. I started getting in trouble with the law. I started drinking. Alcohol was the only thing that could completely numb my pain.

I started going to parties all the time and getting black out drunk. My grades started to suffer. Where I was once a straight A honor student I was lucky if I got anything above a D these days. I just lived for the parties that numbed the pain of losing my brother. Drinking to oblivion was my only source of happiness. It got to the point where Monday morning would come and I would have no memory if anything that I had done over the weekend.

I didn't even realize that I was no longer a virgin until I was told by the doctor that I was pregnant. I had gone in for a checkup and when they asked me when my last period was I couldn't recall. They had me do a pregnancy test that came out positive. A few days later, after visiting an OBGYN, I found out that I was three months pregnant with twins. A boy and a girl. Just like my brother and I. I guess hyper ovulation ran in my family.

It was when I told my mother this news that she decided to send me to live with my father. That it would be better for me to get away from all the negative influences in my life. My dad agreed with her and gladly took me in. They were happy but I was miserable.

I walked to the front office to pick up my schedule. The lady at the desk didn't even notice that I was there until I cleared my throat. She looked confused by my presence.

"I'm Renesmee Jones,"

"Oh!" she exclaimed. Finally understanding. "I'm sorry I forgot they said you were coming. I have your schedule right here,"

"Gym," I shook my head when I saw the class.

"Don't worry dear. The school has been informed of your situation. It won't be anything to strenous,"

Well I guess that was good news.

"Anyway here is a map of the school and the besy routes to get to all of your classes. Just have your teachers sign this slip and bring it back by the end of the day,"

"Sure," was all I could say before walking out of that office. Couldn't I just go back home to my old school?

It had my face buried in my schedule as I walked down the hallway. I didn't want to make eye contact with anyone. I knew it was unavoidable but I wanted to delay it as long as possible.

"Um excuse me. Excuse me," I heard an overexcited sounding girl say.

I looked up and was stunned by what I was. The girl was short and bouncing around with energy. But it was her pale skin and golden eye color that caught my attention. She reminded me of Dr. Lawrence and his wife Julie. They were the nicest people I had ever met. They were considered odd with their ice cold pale skin and golden eye color but they loved everyone. Dr. Lawrence had been a doctor at the hospital that my brother died at. He and his wife left very abruptly a few days after my brother had passed on.

"My name is Alice. What is your name?"

The girl had an infectious energy. I will give her that.

"Renesmee,"

Her smile grew extremely wide. "Nessie we are going to be great friends!"

"I-what?"

"Just trust me. My whole family will love you. Especially Edward and Bella when they find out-"

I started zoning her out because she was weirding me out.

"Do you have any siblings?" she asked. A pang of immense sadness hit me when she asked that question. Oh how I missed my brother so much. I looked up and was surpised to see five more beautiful pale faced gold eyed people. All looking at me with extreme shock for some reason. The boy with the bronze colored hair looked so much like my brother that it caused even more pain to resurface.

"I had a brother,"

"Had?" Alice repeated in a confusion.

"A twin brother. He died two years ago,"
