Nessie POV:
I stared ahead at the road in Alice's yellow Porsche, staring at my dad's silver Volvo ahead, along with the moving van beside it. My eyes glassy and my face blank.
I was still so upset in Susie, what I've done. I could never forgive myself, how could I forgive myself for killing my human best friend? All this has shown me was the monster I truly was. I couldn't imagine what Mary and Luke were going through now, what I've put them through... I gave a soft shudder as my wound throbbed painfully in response. I gripped my stomach in pain, trying to force the it out.
I breathed in and out inhaling the beautiful scent that was that last thing I'll remember in Forks.
Eveyone I loved I had to say good-bye to yesterday. Everyone.I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Jake. Apparently he was upset, or furious, in what I've done. Sam told me he was somewhere in Canada. He tried to locate Jacob and they couldn't find him. All thanks to my dad, who almost killed Jake last week for not showing up at the funeral. Jake and his new pack were trying to figure out what they were going to do with--with me. I was surprised he didn't show up, he's always with me 24-7. Always trying to 'protect me.' Good. I didn't need Jacob anyway. Though I was in a lot of pain, like someone ripped a whole in my chest along with the hole from Susie, I could use another best friend to comfort me. I needed Jake, I need him a lot...
And I had to say good-bye to...her...
But it was harder for Bella, she couldn't even say good-bye to her own father. Her own father.
A soft sigh slowly escaped my lips. Alice turned to me, her face suddenly bright with excitement.
"Don't worry, Ness. I know the perfect treatment for you. Do you know what that is?" I stared into her honey gold eyes in wonder, though I knew exactly what it was.
"What?" I cheered, trying to forget about Susie or Jacob and think of the future, think of my new start in life. She smiled a dazzling smile, her teeth perfectly straight and sparkling.
"Shopping!" She squealed, bouncing up and down in her seat at the idea. At least this was one thing in Alice that I didn't lose, her shopping personality.
I smiled thoughtfully, I needed new clothes anyway. I was happy I didn't lose this side of Alice.
I stroked the diamond necklace, the one Alice gave me on that night. I traced the tiny diamonds around it. I loved it, absolutely adored it. I would protect it with my life.
"Alice..." I trailed off suddenly staring into her lovely eyes. "When will I go back to La Push? After what happened, am--am I still going to go?" She shook her head in sudden frustration.
"Nessie, um...I really don't know...After we get organized at the new house maybe, but I don't know...It all has to do with Jacob, Nessie..." I stared at her with pained eyes, afraid that the gaping whole would return. "Nessie, Jacob will come around...he will. He just needs time." That shocked me, usually when Alice talks about Jacob, she uses mutt or dog describing him. Never Jacob. That's what I loved about Alice, if she knows that you care about something she will respect that. Always Alice.
I nodded my head slowly and stared down at my shoes, playing with a piece of fuzz on my shirt. Alice thankfully got me a new shirt because it was completely ruined all thanks for me being the messiest vampire.
Will Jacob ever forgive me? Will he? I already knew the answer to that. I saw a sparkle on my face, at first I thought it was my crystal skin, but it was a tear, a shiny little tear. Luckily Alice did not catch it, or it would be a completely different story.
"Oh," Alice mumbled as she began digging into her purse suddenly.
"What?" I asked startled. At vampire speed I wiped my cheek, smmering the tear away into my warm hands.
"Oh. Nothing Ness. It's just that your venom burned up your old contacts, so you need another pair."
My mouth gaped open. My eyes began to bulge. "What! I have venom?!" She eyes narrowed as she pulled out a small, silver box.
"Yes, of course you do, now that you drank human blood. See, look in the mirror," Alice said sweetly as she pulled a small pink mirror from her purse and handed it to me. I snatched it from her grip instantly and stared at the reflection nervously.
"Oh." In the mirror was a wild looking girl with blood lust eyes, a pure, violent red. My face looked half-crazed, dangerous.
I wonder why Nahuel never mentioned about my eyes.
Alice carefully put the silver box, which she pulled out, onto my lap.
A menacing hiss instantly escaped my lips, it unsettled me but it was instinct. She jolted her hand away from me in vampire speed and set it back onto the steering wheel, not even looking at me.
"Alice, I'm so sorry. Please, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry..." I said softly as I stared down at my shoes. She carefully stared at me from the corner of her eyelid and nodded her head softly.
"It's okay. I should have known, it's not your fault." She gave me a dazzling smile and slowly touched my cheek."Now put those contacts on,"she said jokingly. Good. Alice is a lovely person but you do not want to be on her bad side. You could lose a limb, literally.
I smiled back and carefully nested the chocolate brown contacts into my eyes. They didn't feel too good and I couldn't see really well in them. I could see all the dents and scratches. I could even feel the bumps where the contacts met my eyes. Weren't they suppose to help your vision and not make it worse?
"Alice," I muttered softly staring into her marble face. She turned her head back to me and flashed her teeth in a friendly way.
"Will my eyes be like this...forever?" Her eyebrows narrowed in confusion and she shook her head, giving a bell-ringing laugh. "Of course not. Your regular eye color will come back to normal in no time," she replied to me, touching my cheek once more.
"But," I began again,"I went hunting a couple hours ago, wasn't this--this color suppose to be gone by now?" Her eyes gave a glassy look and she nodded her head quickly, her head erasing her expression away, probably hoping not to alarm me any further.
"No, not at all Renesmee," she stumbled quietly to herself,"It'll take a couple of weeks, not that long." A few long dreadful seconds ticked by.
"Alice, what's your most favorite high heels?" I asked hoping to brighten up her mood and get rid of the uncomfortable silence. "Hmm... Nessie...truthfully...all of them!" Alice cheered as she clapped her hands together.
I smiled again and nodded staring ahead at the road. A rainbow of different colored greens zipped by me. No place has this much green like Forks. I was really going to miss that.
"So, Alice. What's the house like?" I said, as I straightened up in my seat.
"Well," she began,"it's amazing, one of the best. It's in Oregon by the way."
My eyes turned to ping-pong balls. My jaw slowly tightening. "Oregon? Oregon?! Where in Oregon?!" I almost shouted at her. Her eyebrows pulled together in confusion, her smile formed into a hurt expression.
"Arago. What's wrong with that?" She mouthed, mostly to herself. My face softened from her reaction and changed into a sympathetic one.
"Nothing, nothing at all Alice. Um... after we stop by our new house, let's go shopping right away, I mean right away. You know, let's loosen up a bit after this long journey," I said, but my voice cracked.
"Nessie, are you okay? We can move if you want," but she sounded hurt, much too hurt to convince me. "No, Alice. I think if I by some high heels I'll be all better." She saw where I was going with this and nodded her head, but she didn't look fully convinced.
"Are you--" I nodded my head. "Of course, Alice."
"Okay... Let's stop by the house and I'll let you take a look at it! You will love it! Then, let's go SHOPPING!" She cheered excitedly as the mansion slowly popped in view.
