A/N: Oh my god, I'm SO incredibly sorry about the wait! My laptop charger broke, I had to wait for a new one, I'm moving across country, and blah blah blah. Thanks for the great reviews by the way, I love you guys! =) Sorry that this chapter is a bit short!
Chapter 5: Back to School
Nessie's POV
"WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT, EMMETT? I DEMAND TO KNOW!" Rosalie screeched, startling me awake from my slumber at 5 A.M.
Sleepily, I walked downstairs to go see what the issue was. I heard Emmett say something unintelligible. Sounded like he got drunk...
"Never mind, Emmett, I don't care! Just get out!" I heard a loud banging noise as Emmett was literally thrown out the door. I wonder what he'd done to make Rosalie so mad.
"Nessie, finally, you're awake! I need a girl talk ASAP. Follow me." She grabbed my wrist and took me back to my bedroom, locked the door, and sat down on my bed.
"What's wrong, Rose?" I asked as I sat next to her.
She looked up at me and I think if she could have cried she would be right now. "Oh, Nessie, I think I know what he did last night!" she dry sobbed.
I patted her on her back gently. "It's alright, Rosalie, just tell me what happened."
"No, Ness, it's not alright! He slept with someone other than me! I could see it in his eyes! He always looks like that after we have sex! Oh, what am I going to do?"
"Shh, I'm sure he wouldn't do that, Rose," I said, my eyes wide in surprise at her conclusion.
"How would you know? It's not like-"
"Ness, have you packed yet?" Bella asked from behind my door.
"Not yet, Mom. Rose is talking to me right now, I'll pack soon."
"Okay honey, no rush, you don't have to be there until late tonight…"
I heard her walking away. "Look, Rosalie, not to be insensitive, but I have to pack now. I don't know how much longer I can put it off."
She sighed. "I know… Want some help?"
"Sure."
"Renesmee!" someone called after I had finished packing and talking with Rosalie.
"What?" I called back.
"Where are you, I have to tell you something that I saw in my vision!" Apparently it was Alice.
"In my room, Alice!"
"Is there anyone with you? Say … Rosalie?"
I looked over my shoulder and gave Rose a puzzled look. She shrugged her shoulders in response with a too-innocent look on her face. My eyes narrowed slightly with suspicion.
"Yes, Alice, Rosalie is sitting right beside me. Why?"
"Oh, no reason… Is there any way you can come see me for a moment?" she asked nervously.
"Um, okay, I'll be there in a second."
I opened my door to find Jasper standing in front of me. He just shrugged at my confused face. Apparently he didn't know what was wrong either.
I walked past him and upstairs to their room, knocked on the door, and waited for a reply.
"That you, Ness?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, Alice, it's me."
She opened the door and pulled me in, shutting it back quickly. I suddenly noticed that my parents, Carlisle, Esme, Jacob, and Emmett were here, too. He didn't look drunk anymore - that was good.
"What's going on here?" I asked uncertainly, still not knowing what was happening. I walked over to the bed and sat next to Jacob.
"Well, Ness, it's complicated… Emmett, why don't you explain? You're the one who got us in this problem." She sounded bitter, angry even.
Emmett began his story slowly, telling us all what had happened.
"And you just left her there?" Bella asked.
"Not exactly… I took her to a hotel about ten minutes run from here."
"I have to go see her. I know what she's probably going through." Bella stood up but Edward grabbed her shoulder, sitting her back down.
"Bella you can't go see her, she might freak out," he reasoned with her.
"Look, no one is going to see her. I'm going to secretly take care of her until I find out if she's pregnant or not and if she is then I'll take it from there," Emmett said wearily. "I know what I did was wrong and I deeply regret it but let's just please be reasonable. I can't let her die."
"I understand, son, but you won't leave Rosalie, will you?" Carlisle asked carefully.
"NO!" Alice screamed suddenly. "Jasper's power didn't work, everyone follow me. NOW!" She flew out the door - us following her - down the stairs, went into my room, and grabbed Rose from behind.
"No, Rosalie, you can't do that! I won't let you rip yourself apart and burn!"
She struggled against Alice's grip and screamed, throwing her head back, frozen as she saw Emmett in the doorway. She shrugged Alice off and coldly walked over to him. "You," she said menacingly. "Tell me you didn't do what I think you did."
"What do you think I did?" he asked cautiously.
"Cheated on me," she answered simply.
"Rose, why would I do that? Of course I didn't."
We all stared at Emmett incredulously, quickly looking away before Rosalie noticed.
Her face softened and she fell into his chest, wrapping her arms around him. "Oh, Emmett, I'm so sorry I doubted you!" she cried. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big squeeze. "Emmett?" she asked after a minute.
"Yeah?"
"Do you … um, think we could ... adopt?"
"Um… I honestly don't know, Rose…"
"Please, Em? You know how much it would mean to me."
He looked at the ground. "I don't think we can. I mean, the adoption agency would say we're too young…"
From what little I could see of her face, she appeared to be disappointed. But he did have a point after all.
"Yeah, I guess you're right…"
I suddenly noticed that my family had left to give them some privacy, so I went to go find Jacob.
"So what do you think will happen with Emmett and Amanda?" Jacob whispered in the middle of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
"I honestly don't know, but if Rosalie finds out then she'll probably murder Emmett," I replied just as quietly.
"Nessie!" Bella called.
Great, one second alone and they start to yell at me again. I sighed in exasperation.
I paused the movie and then replied, "Yes?"
"Has Jacob packed yet?"
"Yes Bella, I packed," he answered.
Suddenly she appeared in front of us. "Oh, okay, just checking. And Ness you packed, too?"
"Yeah, Mom."
"Okay…" She twisted her hands together unconsciously; she always did that when she was nervous or something. "Do you think you could 'watch' Rose for me while Emmett and I are gone taking care of you know who?"
"You talked him into it?"
"I threatened Edward and he threatened Emmett for me," she said casually.
I laughed at the thought of my mother blackmailing my father and uncle. "Alright, but why can't Alice take her shopping or something? They'd both love that."
"Alice is busy."
I sighed. "Jasper?"
"Ness, it's just Rose, you'll survive," Jake joked.
"Hah, you wouldn't say that if it was you spending an eternity with her!" I snapped.
"True…" he admitted, pretending to ponder it. "However, since I'm with you, I sort of do have to spend an eternity with her," he pointed out.
"Fine, I'll watch Rose, but I won't be happy about it!" I finally said.
"Renesmee?" Bella knocked on my door.
"What do you want?" I asked, intent to get back to making out with Jacob.
"Nothing, just wondering. We have to leave in about five minutes, just so you know."
I cursed under my breath. "Oh, okay, I totally forgot! I'll get our - I mean my - stuff ready."
"Okay, sweetie," she chuckled.
"Oh, Mom? How did your visit go?"
"Um, it was … okay, I guess. I'll tell you more later." I heard her walk away.
"Oh my God, I have to dye my hair in five minutes? And put on eyeliner? And-"
"Calm down, Ness. There'll be plenty of time to dye your hair black and purple once we're there. Besides, I thought you didn't want your parents to see you as the hot emo chick you are?" Jake laughed.
"I don't! And we can't let them know about you either! But I could have at least dyed it black, but now I can't!" I groaned in frustration. "I guess I'll just have to dye it once we get there…"
I heard him mutter something like, "That's what I just said…" Then he got up off my bed and grabbed our bags from beside the door. I followed after him and watched him smile down at me while we walked out of the house to find all our guests about to leave.
We said our goodbyes and soon we were on our way to Oregon with Bella, Edward, and Nahuel. Yeah, how we managed to go to high school in Oregon when we lived in Alaska was beyond me. I guess being filthy rich is a big help… And it is a boarding school, so I guess it works out in the end…
"Well, we're here! Remember, you can come home anytime! And also, ditching is a good thing every once and a while! Have fun guys!" Edward and Bella waved goodbye to us all.
As I walked up the steps to the school, something seemed amiss. Something I couldn't place. Oh well, I'd have to worry about it later…
EAN: For some reason, I like this chapter better than the rest of them. Don't ask me why - I don't know. XD
