Come on. I know you can write more reviews than that!
I guess I shouldn't keep you waiting.
I do apologize about that.
I've been reading Midnight Sun and that has completely taken over!
*Ahh...Edward.*
Sorry, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 2

Past Tense

The big house came into view. Alice was already on the porch waiting. She reached out for me.

"I'm okay Alice. Really. I just need something to take my mind off of it. Is Jasper home?"

"Yeah, it took a lot to convince him to stay and not kill Edward. I am a little worried about Emmett, though. He cares a lot for you, we all do. I can't believe Edward would do that-"

I held my hand up to stop her. "Please stop. I need Jasper."

She closed her mouth and nodded. "Jasper!"

He came running in. "Hello, Bella," his face looked confused, "are you okay?"

I shook my head. "I feel empty. Can you change that?"

A wave of sadness hit me hard. I stared at him. I didn't want sadness.

"I think you should cope with this. Get it out now."

I started to cry again. At that instant Emmett walked in. One look at my face and he was ready to kill.

"Edward is a dead man."

I couldn't react. I collapsed to the floor. Emmett flew to my side.

"Bella, I won't kill him if that's what you want, but I will hurt him so bad that he'll be wishing for death. I can't stand to see you like this."

I got my feelings in order-with the help of Jasper. "You guys have got to try to understand. I don't want him to be unhappy. I still love him. Just let him go, please."

As much as Emmett and Jasper hated what I said, they respected it. Carlisle walked in with Esme. Esme looked worse than I did, Carlisle showed no emotions.

"We've decided we need a change of scenery. I think we've been gone long enough to move back to Forks. I bet Charlie will be glad to see us again."

Everyone nodded in agreement. A little trickle of happiness ran down my spine. I couldn't wait to see Charlie again. It's been twenty years since I'd seen him. We wrote to eachother and talked on the phone, but we haven't actually visited.

That night, Renesmee came home. She didn't speak or glance my way. She just walked straight to bed. I walked into her room where she layed.

"We're moving back to Forks tomorrow." She didn't respond. I sighed. "Baby, you know I hate this more than anyone. I'd change it if I could, you know I would!"

She rolled over to face me. "I chased after him. You know, so I could hear his side. When I found him, he was with Tanya. He saw me and...and he yelled at me. He told me to go home and forget about him. Mom...I don't even know who he is anymore." She started to cry.

I ran to her. "Oh baby! Niether do I. We'll get through this together. Don't worry." I tried to comfort her. I cried silently with her. After awhile she quieted down.

"Mom, if it's not too much to ask...could you tell me the story of how you and dad met?"

I closed my eyes. "Of course, sweetie." I tucked her in tighter. Even though she was technically an adult, I still liked to do these little motherly things. She never seemed to mind.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl. She moved to a small town up north with her father. She was fair and quiet. Boys from all around the town would came to see her. They would try to woo her, but with no prevail. One day, she saw a boy from across the room. He was perfect in every way. Tall, strong, mysterious, but something was different about him that others didn't have. He was unusually pale with eyes of topaz. He was the most beautiful creature she ever layed eyes on. Girls would try to persuade her otherwise for he was out of reach...even for her. She never thought she would be anything more than a face he sat next to everyday. Until one day, he talked to her. He tried to warn her that he was dangerous, but she wouldn't listen. She was too obsessively in love with him. He found her prone to accidents and trouble, making her a damsel in distress. That wouldn't be a problem if he could read her mind, but she was special. This attracted him, but not as much as her blood did. She smelled so wonderful, different from others. It took a lot to control that hunger in him...but he did it. He found himself in love with the girl and vice versa. They spent every day that they could together. Later on, a group of wanderers came by. One of them decided he would hunt the girl. The boy and his family tried to save her, but the hunter caught her. She was almost dead when the boy saved her. After she got better, she decided she didn't want to be the damsel in distress any longer. She wanted to live with him forever as a vampire." My voice started to break.

"What happened next?" Renesmee asked quietly.

I forced a laugh. "Patience, Renesmee. Maybe, we should save the story for another night." I suggested.

She groaned, but agreed. I kissed her goodnight.

Back at the main house, everyone was busy packing. I helped box up everything. We finished around seven. I went back to my house to wake Renesmee up. Jacob beat me to it. He had her bags in his arms ready to leave.

"You can put those in the moving van."

He nodded and headed towards the direction I pointed. Renesmee started to follow him.

"Renesmee?" She turned to me. "Renesmee, I realize you're old enough to live by yourself...so...I am giving you and Jacob my old house. The one you grew up in. I'm moving into the main house."

She looked ecstatic. "Really!? Oh thank you, mom! You don't mind Jacob and I living together?"

I made a face. "I don't like, but I have to let you go at some point, right? Most parents only get like 18 years. I've had 20. Besides, you'll only live a little ways from me."

She hugged me. "Thanks mom."

It just gets better and better.
What did you think?
Love it? Hate it? Please review!
I would really like to see your ideas!
Be creative!
Just know that neither Bella nor Edward cave on the begging.
