Chapter 2: Secrets

Nessie's POV

"Husband? You are his wife? Oh you must be Bella" I smiled. "It's nice to finally meet you-" I had started to say before she quickly cut me off angrily.

"Wait how do you know my name?" Bella's voice was steadily rising and the others were beginning to approach me. Wait a minute Edward told me that she knew about me. What the hell was going on here?!

"Edward has told me a lot about you and the rest of his family. Wait a minute he never told you about me?"

"No!" Bella nearly yelled by now. I was confused and she was angry. Very angry by the looks of it.

"He visits me twice a year-"

"What do you mean that he visits you twice a year?!" she roared.

Thank god the parking lot was empty now. No witnesses to witness what was happening. This surely would not look good at all. I didn't want to get in trouble for fighting either.

"Wait a minute he never told you about me? He said that you knew and was okay with him visiting me. You never wondered where he goes off to for one week every September and December?"

Bella was getting more and more angry by the second. So angry that she seemed to lose the ability to speak even. I wondered what Edward had told her to explain all of his absences if it wasn't the truth?

"Who are you? What is your name?" It was the blonde girl that asked me. I'm guessing her name is Rosalie. She matches Edward's description of her.

"My name is Renesmee but most call me Nessie. I'm guessing you're Rosalie, right?"

"So it's true then? You wouldn't know so much about us unless someone told you directly. How long have you known Edward?" she asked.

"Since I was three years old. Every year he visits me on my birthday and stays for a week. Then he comes back and visits for another week on Christmas. I don't understand though Edward told me that you all knew about his visits" I didn't understand why he'd lie to me like that.

"Then he's been lying!" Bella was angry. "What I don't understand is why he would lie about where he was going and then come and visit you. A total stranger to him. Why?-"

"He said and I quote that I'm "someone very special and important to him"

If I thought Bella was angry before I was dead wrong. Now she was truly angry. The rest of the family just looked confused. That's how I felt. 100% confused. I had never been so confused in all of my life before. I didn't know what to think.

"I cent believe he never told you anything. He told me that you knew about his visits. I don't understand"

"Edward lied" Bella seethed. "He lied to you, me, everyone. What I want to know is why? And I want to know right now!"

I looked over at the short pixie like girl that I assumed was Alice the psychic.

"You're Alice, right? Edward said that you're psychic. Can see the future or something like that? Do you know anything?"

The girl didn't answer but she stiffened. She seemed nervous to me. Very nervous. She knew something and she wasn't saying anything.

"Alice?" Bella prompted.

"Bella" she sighed. "Edward has been keeping a very big secret from you for the past 17 years. I've known about it this whole time-"

"So you've been his accomplice in this?!" Bella yelled. "You've been helping my husband keep secrets from me?! Why?! What has he been keeping from me?! I want to know why and I want to know now!"

"Bella I think Edward should be the one to tell you the truth. You need to hear it from him and his reasons for doing what he did"

I had to run to class when the bell for class rang.

I was surprised to find Edward sitting in my science class. He must've gotten here very early. Part of me thought he was trying to avoid Bella as if he knew something was about to go down. He looked very agitated as I sat down right next to him.

"Nessie?" he looked very nervous when he saw me.

"Edward? What's going on here? I met Bella outside and she knew nothing about me. You told me that she knew everything. Why'd you lie? What's going on here?" I asked him.

"Nessie there is so much that you don't know-" he started to say but I was quick to interrupt him. Maybe a little to quick.

"Well thanks for the 411 mister state the obvious. I figured there's a lot I don't know considering that you've been lying all along. I want to know the truth. I think I deserve that. I think we all deserve that"

He looked extremely nervous. There was definitely something big he was hiding. I could feel it.

"Why did you get here so early? Why didn't you get here with the rest of your family?" I felt like I was interrogating him.

He gave me a crooked smile. It was just like my own smile that I was well known for. Only it looked better on him in my opinion.

"You're way to observant you know that? Just like-never mind. Look I want you to come with me after school. I can't see any way to keep this from you or my family any longer so I might as well tell everyone the truth"

"Bella is angry with you right now"

"That's what scares me. If she's angry now I can only imagine how she'll be when she learns the truth"
