Edward POV:
I couldn't believe it... We were too late... My daughter, my Renesmee couldn't have. She couldn't have! But she did, and it was all my fault. If only I ran faster, none of this would have happened. If only I stopped her, she wouldn't have killed her best friend, Susie.
Susie and Nessie have been friends since they were in dippers. I would always drop Nessie off at Susie's on Saturdays and they would play 'til six in the morning. They would follow each other everywhere, the living room, the kitchen, even around school. Nessie loved her like a sister, sometimes, I would think they were.
I remember taking them bowling on Susie's birthday, she just turned 12. Nessie was trying to get me to bowl, while I insisted, thinking that if I did bowl, it would go through the wall. When I finally gave in, I picked up the bowling bowl, gave a human pace running start, and fell on my back and down the lane. Apparently Emmett made Nessie put cooking oil onto the lane while I was not looking, those pranksters. I tore off his head for that the next day, literally.
In return for Nessie's and Emmett's behavior, I made both of them eat the chocolate cake which Susie bought at the store. It was probably pretty decent for a human, but for me it was disgusting! Emmett was sick the entire day and had to go home, saying that he had the 'stomach flu.' I teased him for weeks about that. Yeah, those days were sure fun...
Even though Nessie ages faster than humans, she's aging slower and slower each day. We were going to move to Egland sooner or later because of her aging, but Nessie insisted, saying that she would miss Forks and that she could handle it. But I knew the true reason, Susie.
I loved Susie, if Nessie loved Susie, I would have to love her too, and I truly did. Susie would always look up to me, she reminded me of Bella, always stubborn, always caring. I hated her mom though, she is just one of the people who is just plain annoying, she would be right up there with Tanya. Her name is Mary. Like Tanya, she would always stalk me, thinking that I wanted her, always trying to seduce me. That worst part about it was that she was married, her husband found it quite irritating whenever she flirted with me, which she always did. And, anyway, I already found the woman I was going to be with for eternity, and that certainly was not Mary.
Except for me trying to avoid Mary, I have been watching Nessie and Susie carefully. They bonded so well together, Nessie would tell her everything, stuff that she doesn't even tell me. They sure were soul sisters if you ask me, they were the best of friends.
So when I was staring at Susie's grave that morning at the funeral, I felt sorrow overflow me. Nessie was spilling tears everywhere, on me, on Bella, everywhere. I stared down at Nessie and was about to cry as well, if I could. Her eyes were a stinging red, her pale hands balled up into little fists, her face pained. I rubbed my hand onto her back, telling her it wasn't her fault and that everything will be okay. Even though, it really wasn't.
To cover up Susie's death, we said that she was mauled by a bear, even though that really wasn't the case.
The priest was mumbling in Latin saying that she will find her way to God, and live peacefully in heaven. He knelt by her grave a carefully settled some dirt onto the coffin. We all knelt down onto the grass and put our hands together also, praying. Praying for Susie.
God. Let Susie find her way to heaven and rest there for eternity. Let thee, Susie Redford, live in peace forever. Amen. I stayed there seated and waited patiently, but I couldn't resist listening to my family's thoughts as well.
Rosalie- I didn't know Susie that much, but I hope she sleeps silently forever.
Emmett- Uh...God...Let Susie rest in peace. That surprised me, usually Emmett would be thinking about video games or something. Even though he didn't say much, that made me proud in my little brother.
Esme- God, let this child find her way to heaven and let her stay there for eternity. Amen.
Alice- Please let this young women, Susie, sleep in peace forever
Carisle was thinking something in this old foreign language, something that I didn't even understand. But I didn't need to read his mind to know what he thought.
Of course I couldn't hear Bella's thoughts, sadly.
I gulped softly as I slowly began to scan Nessie's thoughts.
God, she thought through non-stop sobs. Let Susie sleep--and--let me be with her someday.
My eyes began to blink open, not wanting to listen to anything else that Nessie thought, it was too painful. I slowly stood up and pulled Nessie up with me, lifting her up gently. I carefully picked Renesmee up into my arms, cradling her in against my marble chest. She sobbed and sobbed, not even bothering to take a breath. I took my eyes off her and stared at Mary, who was by the priest, praying for her daughter across the small field, full of roses and lilies. She wasn't even giving me that look, the look where she wants me, she was too upset. I could hear her short gasping breath as she sobbed staring at the coffin in which Susie lay in. I felt sympathetic for her, I couldn't imagine what pain she was in right now.
I slowly lingered to my silver Volvo and carefully settled Renesmee into the seat. Bella plopped in next to her and rested a hand around Nessie's shoulder. Carefully rubbing it. I sighed softly as I looked into the mirror, watching my family getting into their own cars at a human pace. Once I saw everyone in, I carefully hit the gas pedal. The Volvo slowly grumbled to life.
I stared at Nessie, not taking my eyes off her, she was more important than the road ahead. She lifted her head out of Bella's shirt and stared ahead at me. Her lower lip throbbing.
"Nessie...let's talk about this," Bella said sweetly staring at her with loving eyes.
Nessie shook her head violently and buried her head back into Bella's shirt.
"Mom, I killed her. I killed her!" She wailed loudly, bursting into another sob. Bella gave her a thoughtful stare and pulled her closer. I searched through Nessie's thoughts and gave another distressed sigh, nothing.
"I'm sorry Nessie..." I mumbled softly, too soft and too fast for human ears to catch. She nodded softly through constant sobs. "It's--It's o--okay," She whimpered back to me softly.
"No, Nessie. It's not," I said again my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. She stared into my eyes once more, her face confused with pained. "I'm going to kill that mutt for not coming," I said, my jaw slowly tightening.
"He's such a coward..." Bella trailed off silently, her voice like singing bells. I watched Bella's face, having a sour look to it. I nodded my head, trying to shake off my anger. This was about Renesmee, not that--that animal.
"We're going to have to move," I whispered softly, not taking my eyes of Renesmee. Nessie stared at me sadly and nodded, not really paying attention, she didn't seem bothered with the fact that I was going to tear Jacob's head off. Bella gave me a loving stare and I nodded, still staring at Nessie. I searched through Nessie's thoughts and shook my head soberly staring ahead at the road. All I heard was the pained wail of a half human vampire.
