Chapter 20

Alice and Rosalie ran home and couldn't wait for Emmett, Jasper, and Edward to get home.

"Bella. Carlisle. Esme," Alice said. Carlisle, Esme, and Bella were in the living room in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle asked.

"We have to talk about Nessie and that Phillip boy she's seeing. I don't like him," Rosalie said.

"None of us like him," Bella said.

Jasper, Edward, and Emmett came through the door. Edward went and sat next to Bella. Emmett sat on the big couch next to Rosalie. Alice was on the other side of Rosalie and Jasper sat next to Alice. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on another couch.

"We need to talk about Phillip," Alice said.

"I don't like him or that Renesmee is dating him," Edward said.

"I'm going to call Jake. He should be here because I know he doesn't like Phillip either," Bella said as she walked to the kitchen and called Jacob. She walked back to the living room and sat down.

"We have to get them to break up," Jasper said.

Jacob came into the house without even knocking. He only had on a pair of shorts because morphing and running had been quicker than a car.

"So what did I miss?" he asked.

"We're talking about what we need to do about this Phillip boy," Alice said.

"He needs to be gone. They can be friends because Stella is Nessie's best friend but I don't want them dating," Jacob said.

"I'm not sure if I like her even being around him. I see horrible things in his filthy little mind," Edward said.

"Is it what you see in every other boys mind about almost any other girl?" Emmett asked.

"Yes but this is different."

"Emmett does have a point Edward. As long as he doesn't act on that we don't have another reason to dislike him and I trust Renesmee to pick her friends. I mean, look at Stella and Whitney. They are two wonderful girls and I'm glad that they are Renesmee's friends. I don't want her dating Phillip but if she chooses to be friends with him I honor that," Bella said.

"I still don't like him," Edward said. "How could you let her go out with him? And with all the other guys she has been out with?" Edward asked glared at Jacob.

"She hasn't been out with a lot of guys Edward," Alice said.

"What am I supposed to do? Lock her in her room? With her looking like she does it's going to attract boys. You can thank the fact that she's half vampire for that. I want her to live her life."

"But she's only a baby. And even though I didn't like it at first you imprinted on her," Edward said.

"Yes I did imprint on her but that doesn't mean I'm not going to let her live her life. I've told you, when a werewolf imprints on a person they are whatever that person needs. Nessie has need someone to take care of her so I have been her uncle and her friend."

"She's not a baby," Rosalie said. "She's in high school."

"She's still my baby."

"She will always be your little girl Edward but she's growing up," Bella said. "I do think they are getting to serious though."

"We need to figure out something to do to get her to slow down. I think the only way would be to break them up. I don't want to hurt Renesmee but that's the only option," Alice said.

"None of us want to hurt Renesmee but that would be the best option," Jasper said.

"And we'll be here to help her through it," Rosalie said.

The Cullens and Jacob spent the rest of the night brainstorming ideas for how they could break Nessie and Phillip up. What they didn't know at that point was that they didn't need to. Something was about to happen that would change everything.

I know it's short but there wasn't much to say for this conversation.
