Author's note:

Hey guys I was able to meet up with my beta Ashley so this chapter is up earlier than I planned! Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight all I own is a stash of Five Hour Energy shots and this story.

Renesmee's POV:

By the time I got home it was already midnight and I didn't feel like being lectured by my entire family so I chose to take a small detour to my room. It turns out that climbing vines to get through a window is a very smart idea(thank you Mr. Shakespeare). I knew my family heard me drive up and swear when I lost my footing on the vine and nearly broke my leg, but they didn't do anything. I went straight into my bathroom and showered so I wouldn't get bitched at for smelling like Aiden again. After that I went to sleep. It turns out that going on a date with a human and making out with him for fifteen minutes non stop is exhausting.

As I was drifting off to sleep I heard my parents arguing again, "Edward, just calm down." My mother said.

"I will not calm down, they were making out again!" My dad practically growled at my mother.

"And we made out all the time when we were first dating." My mom tried to reason.

"That was different! Making out was the only thing we could do!" My father argued.

"No, it was all you would let happen," My mom sounded sort of irritated about something.

"I didn't want to hurt you, and you're getting off topic! Bella, it's only their second date, and they were making out for fifteen minutes!"

"Yes, it is a little too fast, but it's not the end of the world. I don't understand why you are so upset." My mother said.

"Don't you see it Bella?" My father asked like the answer was staring them in the face.

"See what Edward?" My mother asked in a tone that pretty much said that she didn't really care what his point was.

"Their relationship is moving so fast already, and he's a perverted, horny, teenage boy!" My father's voice was getting louder by the second.

"I trust our daughter to make the right choices Edward. And you should too!" My mother defended me. I heard a door slam and a few seconds later there was a knock on my door. "Sorry you had to hear that." my mom apologized. I didn't say anything, but I knew that she would just understand.

It was prom and I was going with Aiden, I was in a really pretty dress, it was a deep purple, and a tad bit revealing. I was really happy to be there with Aiden, and he seemed to be happy to be there with me. We were both waiting for the night to end, so we could go back to his place and be alone. Aiden and I had been dancing for hours, and the night was finally ending. We stopped dancing, and Aiden was going to find the band to say goodbye.

"I'll be right back, I love you," He said softly in my ear, and kissed my temple.

"I love you too," I said back, and watched him walk away.

"I would give anything to hear you say that to me," A voice spoke up next to me. Hearing that voice scared me, I never thought I'd hear it again. I turned to face the sound,

"Jacob?" I was so shocked that I heard him, but it was nothing compared to seeing him standing there next to me. He was just how I remembered him, wearing a pair of cutoff jeans, no shirt, and no shoes. I guess it shouldn't have surprised me that he wouldn't be wearing a tux, even at my prom.

I reached my hand up to touch his face, to show him how much I'd missed him, and he flinched away from me. That was odd, normally Jacob was happy to let me talk to him like that.

"Jacob, what's wrong?" I asked him.

"I just wish you wouldn't forget me, is all." He said sadly.

"I haven't forgotten you," I said to him.

"Really? It sure looks like you have," He said looking over at Aiden, who was saying goodbye to Sweeney and Dante, and looking on our direction.

"Jacob, you left me, I'm just trying to live as normally as I can. I mean, what do you want me to do?" I said, defending myself.

"I just want you to be happy," He said to me, then he looked back at Aiden, and my gaze followed his. "I love you, Nessie."

I turned to tell him that I loved him too, only he was gone. I looked around the room for him frantically, then called out, "Jacob?"

"Whose Jacob?" Aiden's voice said from behind me.

"Nobody important," My mouth moved, but it wasn't my voice that answered, it was Jacobs.

With that, I woke up sobbing.

The dream left me very disorientated, I actually had to look at my phone to check the date, and time. It was still November and I was still in my room. My door flew open and my father appeared. "Renesmee are you ok?" he asked. "I heard you crying."

"I had a bad dream." I whispered.

"yeah I know." he whispered back and sat on the edge of my bed.

"dad it felt so real!" I began crying again and he hugged me. I wiped my eyes on the back of my hand. "where's mom?" I asked.

"she's downstairs. She thought that maybe we should talk this time." he answered and moved my hair out of my eyes. Even though I'd grown closer to my mom, my dad and I still had an unbreakable connection.

"dad I think I need to be alone for a while." I hated shunning him away but I had to think about things. He nodded and stood up.

"goodnight." he said and kissed me on the forehead. Within a second he was gone.

I sat in my bed thinking. Did Jacob really think I was forgetting about him? Were my feelings for Aiden really that strong? And should I even be with him if it would upset Jacob? These were the questions I asked myself. I thought about grandpa Charlie and how it had taken him nineteen years to move on from my grandmother. I would never forget about my true love. I really had no idea what my feelings for Aiden were. And finally I had no freaking idea if I should have been with Aiden.

I sat there until morning just thinking. Do normal girls really have to deal with all of this crap? Because somehow I don't think so. Most girls are worrying about breaking out right before a big date or their babysitting schedule affecting their social life. My werewolf soul mate shot himself after I rejected him and now my vampire family wants to kill my new human boyfriend. Yeah this cannot be normal.

"Renesmee, Esme made you breakfast." Alice told me from the hall. I sighed loudly.

"ok I'll be right down." I lazily got out of my bed and didn't bother to get dressed. I got my favorite light blue bathrobe from my closet along with my fuzzy pink slippers and went downstairs. Alice gave me a disapproving look when she saw I was still in my pajamas but I was only going downstairs not to a fashion show. Everyone was chatting away to someone when I was going down the stairs but as soon as they knew I could hear them they all shut up and acted like they were each doing their own thing. They were all talking about me, that's for damn sure.

The only person in the kitchen was Esme who was pouring me a glass of orange juice to go with my breakfast of a bacon omelet(which had been my favorite for as long as I could remember). Esme looked like she was almost afraid to talk to me. Either my dad is a huge snitch and told them the dirty details about my dream, or I take after my mother and talk in my sleep. Either one is bad.

"how was your date with Aiden?" she asked after I had finished my breakfast. I shrugged. If they had asked me last night I would have said "great" or "awesome" but that nightmare was a total buzz kill. Just then Emmett came bounding in.

"Hey mom where do you think you can buy the fencing they use for petting zoos?" he asked. After living with Emmett my whole life I've learned to not even ask questions. Esme frowned.

"Why?" she asked in her 'what the hell for?' tone. Emmett smiled innocently.

"Just asking." then he left the room at human speed. Alice came into the kitchen right after him.

"ok my lovely niece. Today you and I are going shopping." she was practically bouncing off the walls but I was less than enthusiastic. The only time I had actually been excited to go shopping with Alice was when I actually needed new clothes because I was starting to get curves. I had figured I was starting to look mature and it would impress Jake. Oh how times have changed indeed.

It turns out that if you tune out Alice's voice it makes the time pass faster. So after the dreadful Sunday shopping day with Alice I was able to sleep. To my extreme pleasure I didn't have any creepy dreams about Jacob or proms for that matter. Thank you extra strength sleeping pills for insomnia. I was finally permitted to go back to school. Probably because everyone figured I wouldn't want to speak to Aiden again. They were wrong. Aiden joined me at a table in the cafeteria and I couldn't help but smile.

"so how much trouble are you in this time?" he asked as he opened a bottle of apple juice. One of the things I had learned about him on our date was that he's an organic foods vegetarian. It seemed obvious now as he ate an unpeeled carrot.

"none actually." I answered casually as I took a drink of soda from the can I'd bought from the machine. Aiden looked at it with disapproval but didn't say anything. He was more concerned with the fact that we'd stayed out until midnight and I'd gone unpunished.

"oh…so do you have any plans for Thanksgiving?" he asked casually. I knew perfectly well what he was talking about but the Cullens don't celebrate Thanksgiving. It has something to do with Carlisle and Puritans. Though it would have sounded weird to say that to him.

"yeah me and my family are having the annual football and food day." I lied. "what about you?" I asked.

"normally I spend it with my foster parents but since I'm 18 and not living with them anymore, they're in Cancun." he sounded lonely so I couldn't help it when I blurted out,

"why don't you come over to my house?" I regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth.

"ok!" his facial expression had changed from depressed to happy in a millisecond. If I had to stick to this to make him happy then so be it. As soon as I got home I broke the news to Esme.

"Well dear I don't know how his is going to work. The last time I celebrated Thanksgiving it involved eating a large amount of turkey which is something we can't do." she said sympathetically.

"but Esme you guys are all experts at hiding food! If you just act like you're eating then that'll be good enough." I had to make this work. She sighed.

"fine but if Emmett does eat and throws up again you're cleaning it up." she smiled. "I guess I should go to the store and buy a turkey." she picked up my dad's Volvo keys off of the counter.

"oh uh Aiden's an actual vegetarian and he thinks we are so it'll have to be tofurkey. I almost laughed when I said tofurkey but I managed to keep a straight face. My entire family was pissed that they'd have to put on another human charade but they were sympathetic of Aiden being alone. I wasn't too thrilled about having to eat human vegetarian food either so on Thursday morning I decided to go hunting for the first time in two weeks.

I had gotten about a mile away from my house when I'd caught a scent of several deer. I was surprised to find all three of them in a poorly made cage. Damn Emmett! However when I released two of them I noticed that the third wasn't exactly alive. It still had blood in it but it had been dead for several hours and it's throat had been cut. After figuring this out I was confused as to why the hell it's throat had been cut. I ran back home to find out. When I had entered the kitchen I was about to ream Emmett when I noticed that him and Jasper were drinking from merlot bottles. The contents of which smelled an awful lot like dear blood. I made a face, "that's disgusting guys!" I couldn't help but remember when they had made blood popsicles and tricked me into eating one.

"actually if you heat it up in the microwave it's not bad." Jasper said as he took another drink from his bottle.

"Yeah Renesmee and we're only doing this because you're bringing a human here. These are just some insurance that Jasper won't eat Aiden." Emmett said and smiled at me. Blood coated his teeth so it was nauseating. Just then the doorbell rang and I knew who it would be.

"Would you like me to answer the door?" Esme asked from the kitchen doorway.

"No I got it." I ran at hybrid speed to the door and opened it to reveal Aiden in a knit sweater and holding a white box.

"uh hi." he greeted. "I brought a pumpkin pie." he seemed more nervous than usual. It probably had something to do with spending more than a half hour with my family. Behind me, my dad and Carlisle were acting like they were watching a football game and I heard Esme in the kitchen. To the human eye we were just a normal family celebrating Thanksgiving, not a coven of vampires putting on an act for a human.

"Come on in Aiden!" my dad said loudly. Sounding more modern than usual.

"who's playing?" Aiden asked as he took a seat next to Carlisle on the couch. I'm not a big football fan. Usually I just help ref the family baseball games so I lost interest. I went into the kitchen to see if Esme needed any help. To my surprise it was my mom cooking while Rosalie made a disgusted face at the ingredients and Jasper drank his blood in the corner.

"where's Esme?" I asked. Emmett was also missing.

"Emmett is out helping Esme take down his deer pen." Rosalie answered and chuckled. "you know that human of yours smells quite delicious. Almost like you Bella, just not so…innocent." she smiled devilishly.

"Rose!" my mom scolded. The way Rosalie was acting meant she was pissed about something but I didn't know what.

"jeez sorry Bella." she apologized without meaning.

"will you get the tofurkey out of the oven for me?" my mom asked her. She was irritated. She always was when someone joked about her innocence as a human. Rose rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and took the pan out of the oven with no sort of heat protection. Just then Aiden walked in, witnessing her put the hot pan down on the counter and having no burns whatsoever. His eyes widened.

"how did you-" he shook his head like he had just imagined it. My mom looked horrified. It took Rosalie a second to catch on. Blondes. She looked down at her hands and gave out a few(very fake)cries of pain.

"Rose I told you to use the oven mitts!" my mom scolded her. Aiden's face had one back to normal. He probably thought Rosalie's hands had taken a bit to start hurting. Rosalie ran up the stairs at human speed to attend to her 'burns'.

"Carlisle sent me in to see if dinner's ready." he said and looked at the tofurkey on the counter.

"yeah it's ready I just need to carve it." My mom answered and picked up the electric knife. She flashed her razor-sharp teeth at him and turned it on. If this were a horror movie she would have been the one I would vote as crazy because of that. She cut the tofurkey expertly and put the slices onto a plate. When she was finished Aiden and I helped her carry the tofurkey and the other side dishes to the dining room where everyone else was already seated, including Rosalie with gauze-wrapped hands.

We sat down so that I was near the head of the table and Aiden was between Emmett and I. Carlisle led us in prayer which was new to me but I played along. Once that was over we all began to eat…well Aiden and I did while the others acted like it. To my surprise Carlisle initiated the conversation by saying,

"you know I still don't understand why we celebrate a bunch of traitor puritans." there was an acid tone to his voice.

"Carlisle honey will you please just let that go?" Esme asked him from the opposite end of the table.

"no I don't think I will!" I was worried because Carlisle doesn't et like this very often. "those puritans hijacked a boat and went against their country for no good reason!"

"they wanted religious freedom from the over controlling Anglicans." Aiden spoke up. I heard Emmett gasp and mumble under his breath,

"oh no he didn't!" I didn't know if Carlisle would stay cool and collected or if he would ruin his perfect record and Aiden would be his first kill. It was kind of a medium of the two.

"That's valid but the truth is the Anglicans did nothing wrong." Carlisle was going to lose it I just knew it.

"Yeah nothing wrong except killing innocents because they thought they were witches and vampires." Aiden retorted. Emmett choked on the blood he was drinking. Alice burst into laughter. My mom looked worried about Carlisle. Carlisle grabbed Jasper's bottle of blood and took a drink.

"so what religion are you Aiden?" he asked. He looked like if he had been human his face would have been bright red.

"I'm a spiritualist." Aiden answered calmly. There was an awkward silence that seemed to last a decade but it was really only a few seconds.

"Please excuse me." Carlisle said as he stood up and left the dining room.
