I'm sorry it took so long for the update! I had a birthday and some other unplanned things pop up, SORRY!
I know some of you were suprised by how well Alice took it, but I mean come on it's Alice! When she first introduced herself to Bella she hugged her and told her she smelt good!
Anyway thanks for the reviews! And I now have an editor, so yay for that. Here's the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I own many soda's and cups of coffee, sadly I don't own twilight :(
We made it back to the garage in ten minutes.
"Ness, watch yourself. We still don't know if we can trust her," Ej said to me as we got out of the car.
"Ej I know your worried, but you never have been good with accepting new people into your life. I know we can trust Alice," I said.
He sighed and shook his head.
"Just please, Ness, watch yourself. Please," he said. I sighed and threw my hands and let them fall back down.
"Whatever Ej," I said.
I turned around and walked away from him. I heard him start to walk back to his dorm. I slipped into my dorm glad that it was a friday and I didn't have to get up for school in the morning. I saw Rosalie sitting on the couch in the living room. I couldn't hear Alice home yet. Rosalie looked over at me smiled slightly before returning her gaze back to the t.v.
"Rosalie, is Alice home yet?" I asked.
"No, I haven't seen her since school," she replied. I nodded and walked over into my room. I grabbed a match box from on top of my nightstand and lit a couple candle's that I had brought with me. I loved candle's for some reason. I flipped on my music that I loved. I was listening to music a lot lately, when we were home my mom tried not to let us see how much it affected her but we could always tell. So we only listened to music occasionally, most of the time it was when she was out hunting and we didn't need to go. I brought out my notebook full of poems, and started to write some. An hour later I heard the front door open.
"Hi Alice," I heard Rosalie say.
"Hi Rose," Alice said in a rather excited voice. I heard her walk over to my door before it was flung open and she ran over to my bed and sat down with me. I noticed she had a lot of shopping bags in her hands.
She started bouncing excitedly.
"I know when we are going on that shopping trip!" She said in an excited tone.
"Alice I don't know-" I started to say before she cut me off.
"We are going tomorrow. I'll wake you up at seven so we can get there when the mall opens, that way we can have all day to go shopping," she said before walking quickly out my room and shutting the door. I groaned and fell back onto my pillows. For such a small person, she sure did know how to intimidate someone.
I shut my book and blew out my candle's. I quickly showered and got ready for bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up when I felt someone bouncing at the end of my bed. I looked up, irritated that someone had woken me up from my deep slumber. I saw Alice bouncing at the end of my bed a huge grin on her face.
"Wake up sleepyhead!" She said excitement masking her voice. I groaned.
"Ten more minutes Alice," I said.
"No," she said sternly. I sighed and pulled the covers off and I let my feet drop to the floor. She squealed excitedly and ran out of the room. I walked over to my closet and when I opened it a bag fell out and landed at my feet. I bent down to retrieve it. There was a note stuck to the top of it. I pulled it off the bag.
Renesmee, It read.
I picked up this outfit for you yesterday so you could have an outfit to wear to the mall with me. It's your size, put it on!
-Alice.
I sighed. I picked up the bag and brought it over to the bed, and opened it. The first item was dark wash capri's.I pulled out the shirt it was a tight fitted green shirt. At the bottom of the bag was a pair of black stilletto's. I searched for the tags on the clothes, but when I found it and picked it up I only saw the brand; Alice had cut off the price tags. I sighed once more before getting dressed in the clothes. I had to admit that they fit nicely, and they were comfortable.
When it came time to put the shoe on, I looked at the heels. They were too fancy for just a day at the mall. I took them over to the closet and dropped them in there. I picked up my black flip-flops and slid those on instead.
I walked out of my bedroom and into the kitchen. I heard Alice behind me, but I chose to ignore her, wanting to avoid dealing with her anger for a couple more minutes. I took my time choosing my cereal and then I grabbed a bowl.
I heard Alice start tapping her foot. I chuckled softly and started pouring my cereal slowly. Once the bowl was filled enough for my satisfaction, I put the box of cereal away. I brought my bowl over to the table, ignoring Alice glowering at me from the counter, and grabbed the milk from the refrigerator. I poured milk into my bowl and then put it back into the refrigerator. When I sat down I looked over at Alice, she was defiantly at me.
"Alice is there something wrong?" I asked, hiding my smile.
"Would you like to tell me what is wrong with the shoes I picked out for you?" she responded.
"Alice," I groaned. "The shoes were unnecessary. They were too fancy for the mall."
She let out a breath of defiance. "They were not," she said with a frown. I shook my head at her and started eating my cereal again.
"Alright, fine! Don't wear the shoes," Alice said in an oddly cheerful voice. I looked up at her and she had a mischievous look on her face.
"Alice whatever your thinking, no." I said.
"Whatever you say Renesmee," she said skipping back to her room.
I sighed.
When Alice came out of her room next she was in dark skinny leg jeans, and a tight white shirt that accentuated her body shape. She was wearing black ballet flat's for shoes. Her spiky black hair was perfectly styled, it sticking out in every direction.
"Ok now time to do your hair and make-up," Alice announced.
I sighed and walked over to her after putting my bowl in the sink. I followed her into the bathroom, there was a step stool in the middle of the floor.
"Sit." Alice ordered me. I sat down, and she got to work immediately. Sometime during this process Rosalie walked in.
"Alice what are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm getting Renesmee ready to go shopping with me." Alice replied.
"Oh."
"Do you want to come with us?" Alice asked.
"No, I'm going out out with Emmett today," she said.
"Ok." Alice said.
When she finished my hair and make-up, she finally let me look in the mirror. I had my hair perfectly straightened it falling a bit past my shoulders. I had on some mascara and a little bit of clear lip gloss.
"So what do you think?" Alice asked.
"I look great, Alice, thanks!" I said.
She smiled smugly and left the bathroom. I grabbed my purse and cell-phone and left the house with her. We walked over to a garage a couple minutes away. When she opened the door, I gasped. There was a silver Volvo, a red Mercedes convertible, an Aston Martin Vanquish, a huge Jeep, and a yellow Porsche.
"Come on Renesmee." Alice said grabbing my hand and leading me over to the yellow Porsche. She hopped into the driver's side while I simply just gawked at the car. I was having fantasies about driving the car as fast a it would go, when the passenger seat window rolled down. I looked into the car I saw Alice leaning over from the driver's seat.
"Coming?" she asked.
"Oh ya, sorry." I said climbing into the seat next to her.
She pealed out of the garage and hit the road the needle climbing up fast.
"So how did... Bella... come up with Renesmee" Alice asked.
"It's a mix betwen Renee and Esme." I said.
Alice nodded her head.
"My middle name is Carlie, my mom said that it's Charlie and Carlisle together."
She simply nodded again.
"I know Charlie and Renee are my mom's parent's, but... could you... maybe tell me who Esme and Carlisle are?" I asked.
"They're my parents," she said.
I nodded. We sat in silence for a bit, I then had an idea.
"Alice?"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering if it's not to much... could you... maybe tell me the story of how you met my mom?" I asked in a small voice.
"Ya, I think you should know," Alice said.
She told me everything from my mom's first day at Forks high school to the time that Edward decided that they needed to leave.
"Wait, so Edward only left my mom because he thought he was protecting her by removing himself from her life?" I asked.
She nodded. Her face said she didn't agree with his choice's.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" I said.
Alice shook her head in agreement vehemently.
"Alice, how did your family come to be vampires?" I asked.
She told me each one of their stories. I couldn't believe what had happened to Alice. That would be a cruel way to live your last moments as a human.
When we arrived at the mall it was nine a.m, Alice jumped out of the car and was practically dragging me inside saying that we wasted thirty minutes.
She led the way into a store, and once we were in the store she made her way around the racks grabbing clothes she liked. It was like she knew this place like her home, and she probably did. Her tiny arm's were getting full with clothes, so I grabbed a basket and brought it over to her. She dumped them in, and started combing the racks again. I noticed the sizes on the clothes and they weren't her size.
"Alice, these clothes are going to be too big for you," I said.
"I know, silly! They're for you." Alice said.
"Alice!" I hissed "I can't afford all of these."
"I know, I'm paying for them."
"Alice I can't let you buy me all this stuff!"
"Hush hush, don't fret your little mind about it. I'm buying you these things, no buts about it!"
"But Alice-" I started to say but she put her finger to my lips to shush me.
"No, no, what kind of aunt would I be if I didn't buy you thing's to spoil you?" She grinned. I smiled back at her. She plucked a blue silky blouse off one of the racks and showed me. It was exactly my size.
"Isn't this cute!" she exclaimed.
I nodded and she handed it over to me. I put it in the basket with the rest of the clothes. The tag was sticking up and I saw the price, I scoffed at it and put it back on the shelf. Alice looked at me with a frown. She picked it back up and put it in the basket again.
"Alice 100 dollars for a blouse. You can't be serious." I said.
"I am serious and don't you dare try putting it back," she said before turning back to scouring the racks and shelves of clothes.
After twenty minutes Alice had filled four baskets of clothes; three for me and two for her. She walked straight over to the cashier, not even bothering to go to the dressing rooms. When the total came up on the register, I coughed loudly. Alice looked at me curiously while handing the lady a clear card with a gold band around it.
"Alice the total is a little high!" I managed to squeak out.
She laughed ad waved her hand at me.
We went to store after store and by twelve we had made three trips back to the car to deposit our bags. We talked about me growing up my likes and dislikes. When I told Alice I didn't like skirts or dresses she mumbled that we would have to change that and I glared at her.
When we came inside from our fourth trip to the car it was one. I grabbed Alice's hand and stopped her in her tracks.
"Alice can we get something to eat now, please?" I asked.
"Sure, but eat fast; we still have to hit more stores," she said.
We walked over to the food court, and I got a cheeseburger with fries.
"So do you have a nickname or something shorter than Renesmee?" Alice asked.
"Ya, Ej and my mom call me Ren or Nessie a lot. Although when Ej first started calling me that my mom didn't like it. She said that's what people called the Loch Ness monster, but eventually she warmed up to it."
Alice laughed.
"Nessie... I like that." I blushed at her compliment and looked down at my food.
"You look like your mom when you do that," Alice said with a hint of sadness in her voice. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I saw I had a text message from Ej.
Nessie where are you? -Ej
I quickly thumbed back a reply.
Sorry I forgot to tell you. Alice dragged me to the mall this morning probably won't be back until later. -Nessie
I looked over at Alice with an apologetic look.
"Sorry, that was Ej."
"It's ok. Hey, Does Ej really stand for Edmund junior?"
"No, it stands for Edward Jacob." I said.
She nodded.
"Alice, I have a question."
"What's that?"
"Well, how exactly do you plan on keeping this away from Edward?" I asked.
"Well, I thought about that so I'll just limit my time around Edward, and whenever we are forced together I can start reciting the alphabet and other thing's like that in different languages. It will work for a bit, and he's been so out of it lately, that he probably won't even notice I'm hiding something from him," she said. I nodded.
"Alice, if you talk to Ej he might be a little... resentful... at first. It's harder for him to accept new people into his life."
She nodded. "I understand."
After lunch we started shopping again. When we passed a Hot Topic, I was going to go in when Alice yanked me back.
"Don't even think about it." Alice warned.
I sighed and we continued shopping. By five we hit all the shoe stores and almost every clothing store. We left at six and headed home with the trunk and backseat full of shopping bags.
When we got back home, it was raining so Alice and I grabbed as many bags as we could, and rushed inside. When we stepped into the apartment we saw Rosalie and Emmett snuggled close together, and Jasper was sitting off by himself in a chair. They laughed at us when we came inside and I could imagine why, I probably looked like a half-drowned cat. Alice dropped her bag's and grabbed Jasper's hand.
"Come on we have more bags," she said. They stepped outside again and I followed them. When we finished getting all the bags inside we were throughly soaked. Jasper helped me and Alice deposit the bag's into the right room.
I went into my room and changed into black sweats and a white tee and pulled my damp hair into a ponytail. I started then on putting the mountain of bag's away. Thirty minutes later I had everything nicely put away into my closet, and I walked out into the living room to find Rosalie and Emmet sitting together on the couch. Alice was sitting with Jasper in the chair in the corner. There was only one seat open, and that was next to Emmett on the couch. I walked over and sat on the floor.
"You can sit up here. I don't bite," Emmett said.
I chuckled softly and got up and sat down on the couch.
"So you survived your first shopping trip with Alice," he said with a big grin on his face. Alice stuck her tongue out at him.
"Ya, next time I'm going to have to take someone with me; I need help to reign her in," I said. Everyone but Alice laughed.
We settled into a peaceful silence then and started to watch the show they had on. I felt my eye-lids start drooping and before I knew it I was settled into a deep dreamless sleep.
I heard the front door close and I sat straight up, I saw Rosalie standing there.
"Hey. Sorry for waking you, the guys just left. Alice is saying good bye to Jasper right now" she said.
"Oh, ok" I said. I made my way into my room and fell exhaustively onto my bed.

Ok guys, hopefully that answered some of your question's. The next chapter it will be Sunday and that's when Carlisle and Esme will make their visit. I know you all are anxious for Bella to come back, and she will but I have to point some thing's out first. Anyway please review! I don't mind suggestion's, or critism. Tell me if I stayed in character enough. Thanks!
