Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne
I watch in complete disgust as Renata hangs on to Alec, her arms wrapped around his waist as she stares up at him with misty eyes. He has one arm slung over her shoulder, not bothering to meet her adoring gaze as he surveys the party going on. I've lost my family somewhere in the crowd, but I could care less right now. I have a mission at hand.
Seeing Alec and Renata together has angered me. Two years ago when I was fifteen (the same age as Alec) the Volturi made stop at my house back in America. Alec and I really hit it off, and I fell completely in love with him. But he inevitably had to leave a month and a half later. We haven't had contact since. But then a couple weeks ago, we got the invitation to Aro's birthday bash, and now here we are.
I had heard the rumors that Alec and Renata had gotten together, and hadn't doubted their truth. But actually seeing him with her is just too much. And the little green monster inside me is screaming at me to not let this go on.
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
I know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
I am wearing a strapless violet dress that clings to me so tightly from the top all the way down to my hips it could have been painted on and there wouldn't have been much of a difference. There is a design of diamonds on both of my hips. At my hips, it flares out slightly and then falls all the way to the floor, covering up my matching heels. My bronze ringlets are splayed loosely around my shoulders, covering up the majority of my bare back. I have a line of black eyeliner on and purple eyeshadow and mascara with a bit of blush. This is all thanks to Alice, of course.
Hoping I still look as I did back in the hotel room, I make my way over to Alec. He looks so hot in his black dress pants and simple white button up. Oh, who am I kidding? Alec looks hot all the time. Gorgeous, glossy black hair. Rose red lips. Sparkling scarlet eyes. Smooth ivory skin. Tall and muscular. His only flaw is the dark-haired girl clinging to his side like some sort of abnormal growth or maybe a fungus.
I tap lightly on Alec's shoulder to get his attention. He turns to me, eyes bored and lifeless, obviously expecting another of Aro's countless "friends" coming to say hello and get on the good side of the most powerful Volturi member. But when he sees it is me, his crimson eyes fill with surprise and most importantly, delight. Best part: he shrugs Renata off of him.
"Renesmee!" he cries happily.
"Oh, Alec." I breathe with a smile, wrapping my arms around his neck. His arms encircle my waist, hugging me so tightly he lifts me off the ground. I laugh as he twirls me in a wild circle. I have thought about Alec every second since he had to leave, and I can't believe I am finally in his arms again.
"I hoped you would come." he says as he sets me on the ground, grinning joyously. His smile is contagious and I find myself grinning back.
"Of course I came. It's been way too long." I tell him, playing back old memories.
"Way, way too long." he agrees, reminiscing as well. Oh, we were reckless together back then.
You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about you all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright (alright, alright, alright)?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I'm the motherf***ing princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
Renata suddenly pops in again, nestling her way under Alec's arm. "Oh, yeah." Alec says, having completely forgotten about her. "Nes, this is Renata, my, er, girlfriend. Renata, this is Renesmee Cullen, my, uh.. " he trails off, not knowing exactly what we are anymore.
"Old friend." I fill in for him with a smile.
"Hmph." is all I get from her. My smile slips. I turn to Alec, trying to cut her out of my view.
"We really have so much catching up to do, Alec. Would it be too rude of us to slip out for a moment or two?" I ask, needing to get away from this pesky girl under his arm.
"No, of course not. Renata, I'll be back in ten minutes, tops. Okay?" he says to her, removing his arm from around her.
"Alright." she frowns. He tilts her chin up with his index finger and kisses it away. I look away, not wanting to see that. She walks off, and Alec offers me his arm like a gentleman. He leads me through the crowds of people, all turning to stare at us knowing we were once a thing and wondering what is going on. Finally, we make our way out of the throne room. We end up walking through long, dark corridors together, talking and laughing about random things.
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
"So how did you and Renata happen?" I ask him, staring off down the long hall so he won't see the pain in my eyes.
"Aro set me up to it. You know how he is." Alec says in a slightly embarrassed and slightly ashamed tone. I do know very well how Aro is. He has always adored me, and pushed Alec and I to be together. But sometimes even Aro can't make the impossible happen.
"You guys seem pretty happy." I frown, still avoiding his gaze.
"Don't be sad, Nes. No one has ever made me feel the way you did, don't even pretend like you don't know that."
"If that's true, then why couldn't you tell Aro to back off? Why couldn't you wait for me?" I look up at him, the hurt and betrayal evident on my face.
"I can't go against Master's orders but please believe me when I say I tried." he stares back down at me sadly.
"This just isn't right. We belong together, not you and Renata." I spit out her name as if it is some kind of poison.
"I know that. But as long as you're bound to your family back in America and I am bound here to the Volturi, there isn't a way to make us work." he explains while brushing his thumb over my cheekbone.
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
The adoration in his eyes when he stares at me is overwhelming. It makes me feel gorgeous and priceless and just totally wanted and needed.
"Then give me this one night with you until we can break the bindings off." I whisper in what I hope is a sultry tone. His hand still resting on my cheek, he looks away from me, eyes troubled and conflicting.
"I can't do that to Renata." he whispers back.
"After what you've done to me, abandoned our love without telling me and failed to contact me for years, don't you think you owe me something?" there is a pathetically desperate plea in my voice. "Just for a while, just for tonight, make Renata disappear. Don't think about her, don't even say her name. Please."
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again (again, again, again)
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear;
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again (and again, and again, and again!)
And then the most beautiful thing happens. Alec's lips press against mine, cool and sweet, kissing me with passion and affection. I respond immediately, tangling my hands into his silky-soft hair. I push him back against a wall, and then jump up, wrapping my legs around his waist, not the easiest feat in a skin-tight dress.
"Oh, Renesmee." he whispers, suckling on my neck. The hot, heavy passion is tangible in the air and I already know where this is leading and I am perfectly fine with it. At near-vampire speed, I get the buttons of his shirt undone. My hands roam over the icy planes of his perfectly sculpted chest and abs.
And then the worse possible thing happens. A high-pitched, nerve-grating voice sounds from the end of the hallway, "Alec?" Damn you, Renata.
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!

"Get out of here, Renata." Alec murmurs without moving his lips from my neck.
"What the hell is going on?" she shrieks, and I nearly laugh. How stupid is she? Obviously her boyfriend is hooking up with his ex that he is still in love with. Duh.
"Oh, shit." Alec seems to come back to reality, setting me down on my feet and getting down the hall to Renata. Rage boils beneath my skin. Did he really just choose her over me yet again? "I am so sorry, Renny. I don't know what came over me." he says, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear.
"I think it's called love!" I pipe up from the opposite side of the corridor, and Alec throws me a deadly glare. Oh, if looks could kill..
"Get away from me, Alec. We're through. And don't bother arguing it. I know Aro put you up to our relationship. I'm done trying to make you see we really could have something special." she storms off angrily. Alec stands there, dumbfounded, jaw slack.
"I'm sorry." I whisper, ashamed of myself. I just ruined things for him all because I hadn't gotten over everything we once had. But suddenly, Alec is in front of me, moving faster than I've ever seen him move.
"Don't be. I love you, only you, and always you." he murmurs. I lean up, kissing him and bringing the passion back to encompass us. He gets back into the mood instantaneously, and we are soon bursting into an empty guest room. He pushes me onto the bed, kissing down my neck.
I stop him for a moment, pushing his head back away from me. Before he can ask what's wrong, I use one of my perfectly manicured nails to slice open my neck, carefully avoiding the main artery there. Warm liquid trickles down my neck. Without asking a single question, he leans down and places his mouth over the wound and begins sucking.
He takes small gulps, and each time he goes back for another I moan. It is sexy and passionate. My hips gyrate against his as my fingers dig into his strong shoulders.
He takes enough to satisfy him but not enough to damage me in any way. He licks the wound, and his venom coupled with my rapid-healing trait causes it to mend instantly.
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?
Alec's lips return to mine as my hand rubs against the hard bulge in his pants. He groans in pleasure. His hands fumble around, searching for a way to get my dress off. Just as I'm about to lend a helping hand, we get another interruption, this one even worse. "Nessie?" Emmett's voice is not too far off.
"Oh no." I gasp. Alec jumps off me, but before he can leave, I grab his wrist.
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you more." he gives me a heart-melting smile. He leans down, kissing me oh so sweetly. His lips moving against mine in perfect harmony.
But all too soon, he disappears in a blur of black and white out of the window just as Emmett gets on to our floor. I quickly fix my hair and my smeared make up, meeting Emmett just outside the door.
"There you are, squirt. Your dad was getting paranoid." he chuckles, slinging an arm over my shoulder and leading me back towards the party without thinking twice about what I was doing up there. My heartbeat was still rapid and thundering, but he didn't seem to notice.
I didn't see Alec for the rest of the night, and then we had to leave very early in the morning. I went back to America, back to a dull, dreary solitude, without so much as a goodbye. Alec has never been good with goodbyes, though. I know that very well. But I'm sure I'll see him again someday, and maybe, just maybe, there won't need to be another goodbye.
