"Renesmee, please whatever it is, I can handle it. You know I'll always love you no matter what." Renesmee sighed, "That's what hurts the most about this." She whispered.

A New Twilight

Chapter 2: Heartbreak All Around

Jacob suddenly regretted pushing the situation, he knew his wife all to well, and he knew what was coming, "Nessie…" He pleaded softly. "Jacob, I do love you. Truly." Jacob's heart felt like it was going to implode. "Then please don't say it." Renesmee looked down, and Jacob tilted her chin up tenderly with one finger. "Renesmee, don't." He choked out as he saw the tears in her eyes. "I'm not in love with you anymore." Her voice barely above a whisper as she finally let the words escape from her rose colored lips. "No." Jacob let his arms fall to his sides, as he hung his head. "J-Jacob?" Renesmee reached for him, but he jerked from her reach. "Jacob, don't leave me." Renesmee begged. He chuckled darkly for a second, "The sad thing is, Renesmee, I'll always be here with you." He looked up at her, trying to fight the tears. "But for now I have to be alone." He started to reach up and brush her cheek, but he let his arm fall limply back to his side. "You tell the boy." Renesmee shook her head, "Shouldn't we both tell him?" Jacob turned quickly making Renesmee, jump back. "You did this!" He grabbed her arm. "You tell him!" He pushed her back and she fell on the ground. "Oh, no Renesmee, I'm sorry." He started to help her up. "Just, go Jacob. I'll tell Masen." Jacob didn't answer, he just left.

Reia and Amberlee had been watching the whole thing. Reia stood up. "Sis?" Amberlee's eyes followed her as she started walking towards Renesmee. "Hey! Wait up!" Amberlee jumped up and followed Reia. Reia stopped next to Renesmee and looked down at her. Renesmee looked up just as Reia helped her up. "Are you okay?" Reia asked her. "Yeah…" Renesmee dusted herself off. "Thanks." She smiled at Reia. Reia shrugged. "Not a problem." Then she and Amberlee walked off, leaving Renesmee slightly confused. That day, after school, Reia sat in her black Honda Accord, listening to the local rock station, her feet up, and her seat leaned back; her door slightly ajar. The parking lot was now almost empty. "This is going to take forever." Reia muttered to herself. "Why art club is so important to be in I have no idea." She rolled her eyes. She hadn't noticed Jacob walking up to the yellow rabbit next to her, she was to engrossed in her own thoughts.

"I swear…" She kicked the steering wheel. Jacob looked over into the car, and ducked down as far as he could to listen. She took out a map, and began tracing her finger on it. "We were here when he killed the last leech. He said he knew of a coven to the north west. That's here… that's Everett!" She kicked the steering wheel again. "GAH! Maybe Amberlee was right. He was just trying to save his life." She sighed, leaned her head back. "I'll never find him." She said hopelessy. "That stupid bloodsucker that killed my mother. He'll just go on living his happy life! Never knowing what happened to her! Never knowing what he did to her!" She suddenly jerked her head up, seeing Jacob get into his car. Jacob gave off the vibe he had heard nothing, and she willfully accepted it as Jacob drove off. Reia sighed as Amberlee got into the car. "Hi!" She exclaimed, closing her door. "Have fun?" Reia asked sitting up and closing her door. "Yeah tons. I made a couple of friends." Amberlee beamed. Reia shook her head sitting her seat back up. "Don't you think that it's a waste of time, Amberlee. We won't stay here long." She said starting the car. "As soon as we find these bloodsuckers, that I don't even think are here, and kill them we'll be leaving off to the next town." She pulled out of the parking lot and started driving. "I know, but I like having friends. Don't you?" She asked. "You're my only friend, Amberlee. I'm very happy with that."

Bella floated into the house gracefully, "Edward!" She called. "We're home." And Edward was there, holding her in his arms. "Did you and Masen have fun?" He asked, as a boy entered the house. "We always do. Don't we Masen?" She turned to look at him. Masen was 6"2' with porcelain skin, dark brown and bronze straight hair, dark brown black eyes, and a face almost identical to Edward's. He smiled, "Yeah, Grandma's loads of fun to talk to, Grandpa. Wish you could have come." Edward laughed, "But I wasn't thirsty. I can handle it longer than you two can. Not that you aren't doing well, love." He stroked Bella's cheek. Edward's head snapped suddenly remembering something, "Um, Masen I almost forgot. Your mother wanted to talk to you." He said flatly. Masen furrowed his eyebrows. "About what?" Edward shook his head. She is in the kitchen, waiting for you." Masen nodded as Edward led Bella out of the house. Masen walked into the kitchen, and saw Renesmee sitting at the table. "Mom, are you alright?" He asked delicately. Renesmee took in a long deep breath, before looking at him. "Masen, it's important for you to know that your father and I love you more than anything, no matter what." Masen nodded, "I know that, mom. Why are you saying this now?" Renesmee winced as she took a hold of Masen's hand, his skin was neither hot nor cold but a mixture of both, that made her hand feel as if it were burning and freezing at the same time; it wasn't painful just uncomfortable, but she didn't release his hand. "I've left your father." She said the words all to easily, but it hurt her to the point of tears to confess this. Masen narrowed his eyes, "What?" He asked unbelievably. "Your father and I aren't together anymore. Now, I know that you and your father don't get along, so I was thinking, that maybe you'd like to live with me." She smiled sadly. Masen jerked his hand away from her.

"I can't believe you're saying this, so carefree." He said grimly. "You don't know how much this hurts." She started to cry. "How much this hurts you? Or the family?" He stood up. "Mom, dad loves you. He's struggled so hard to keep you all these years, to do everything he can to prove to you how much he loves you, and me. This is how you repay him? Now I know dad and I aren't up for the father son award anytime soon, but I love dad, and I'll never abandon him." Renesmee's mouth dropped open. "What are you saying, Masen?" Masen looked straight into her eyes. "I'm staying with dad." And then he left, leaving Renesmee alone, again. Edward and Bella entered the kitchen. Renesmee turned to them. "Mom, dad. You're not mad at me are you?" Edward looked at her, his arm around Bella's waist. He sighed, "Nessie, you can't help how you feel." He said comfortingly. "We aren't mad at you." Bella told her. "But it hurts us too, to see you and Jacob in so much pain." Renesmee nodded, "I care about how you all feel, especially him. I still love him. I just am not in love with him." She cried out. Edward put his arms around her, "Renesmee, we know that. Like I said, you cannot help how you feel. It will be okay. No one is leaving you to deal with this pain on your own. Nor Jacob or Masen. We are a family, whatever affects us, we deal with together." She looked up at him. "Thanks, dad." She sort of smiled, as the tears in her eyes sparkled.

Jacob got out of his car, and turned to see Masen standing at the back of his car, looking at him sadly. "Dad, you… didn't come home last night." He noted, worriedly. Jacob closed the car door. "I had to be by myself son." He answered, walking past him. Masen followed. "I know what you're thinking, dad; and you're wrong." He said catching up with him. Jacob looked over at him, "And what's that, son?" Masen looked back at him, "You think I chose her over you. I didn't. I want to stay with you, dad." Jacob stopped and looked at Masen strangely. "Are you sure?" Masen nodded, "Yeah." Jacob grinned his Jacob-y grin and messed up Masen's hair. "I'll try to be a better dad to you, Masen. I know I haven't been the best." Masen shook his head. "But you've done your best." Masen looked at his watch. "Alright dad, I'm gonna be late for class." He said hurrying off.

Masen entered Mr. Gordon's English Lit class with a disinterested look on his face. He walked over to his seat and noticed that the seat next to his, that had been empty just last week, was now occupied by a strange girl with long brown hair, brown eyes, dark eye makeup, and lipstick. He looked her up and down, noting the short black layered skirt, the fingerless gloves, the black boots, and black lace up corset. "Wow…" Masen mouthed to himself, as he sat down next to the girl. She turned to him, her hair whipping behind her as she did so. He closed his eyes, taking in the beautiful scent of Jasmine and Orchids. He blinked and caught himself as he was almost knocked down by the delicious smell. "Are… you okay?" Reia asked him. "Yeah…" Masen smiled. Reia finally got a good look at him when he smiled, and she was almost knocked out of her seat as well. "Are you okay?" He laughed. Reia nodded, as she blushed. "I'm Masen Black." He said seductively. Reia just stared at him, a glint of happiness in her eyes, as the sadness left her face. "I'm Reia Greenlee." She said shyly; smiling back. "It's nice to meet you, Reia Greenlee."
