Surviving Seventeen

The sequel to Sweet Sixteen. Please read that first otherwise you will be confused. I was surprised by the reviews I got for Sweet Sixteen so I just had to carry on with it XD

All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenie Meyer. I only made the story line :)

Chapter Twenty-Eight – Ready For Romance

Renesmee's POV

I sat on the rock in silence, arms crossed across my chest and my mouth shut tight. I was annoyed beyond belief, my family had lied to me my entire life.

They had risked themselves to save me as I was apparently a danger.

Don't get me wrong, I was incredibly grateful but they had hidden it from me. I wasn't a child! I hadn't been at the intellectual age for a child for around eleven years.

Jake's nose brushed my skin as he whined an apology again. I pulled my arms in tighter.

"Doesn't she deserve to know?" Nate taunted. He sounded cruel and mean. Like telling me this wasn't for my benefit but to cause distress.

Suddenly I was angry at someone else here.

"I did deserve to know but why was it you." I snapped cutting across Dad who had just started to speak. Nate looked at me with confused eyes.

"Why the hostility Nessie? I just told you the truth."

I stood up and started to pace forward, Dad grabbed hold of my arm just as I passed him and I couldn't shake him off.

I wasn't that strong.

This would have to do.

"It's Renesmee to you. Only friends can call me Nessie and I think it's best you leave." I said each word with so much venom that I was shocked myself.

Nate didn't move, but Leah attempted to pull him back.

"What about the news. It's about a dise-" he started hands up in protest. I hissed violently cutting across him.

"LEAVE!"

His eyes narrowed as he looked around the clearing twice and then back to me. He smiled a small smile before speaking.

"You should listen to me Renesmee, it's very important. But..." he gestured to the forest behind him. "if you insist..." he turned on his heel and left followed by Lucy. Leah stayed there looking confused, before she too followed away.

I closed my eyes as I worked on lowering my heart rate.

"Ness..." Dad started releasing my arm but I held my hand up.

"You said you wouldn't keep secrets from me so I must admit I'm pretty pissed, but your heart was in the right place and Nate is a slime ball so all is forgiven." I tapped him on the back exhaling. "He just wants to cause rifts, I shouldn't have agreed to meet him because he was spouting a load of crap." The words tumbled out of my mouth like vomit.

"I suppose you are right, but language Renesmee." Mom hovered behind Dad with a stern look on her face and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"Are we going then?" she added looking at my Dad with large goo-goo eyes, I wound my hand into Jake's fur who had suddenly appeared beside us.

"Yes, I need to get ready for my honeymoon."

"Are you all ready?" Mom fussed for the sixteenth time as Jake slammed the trunk of the car down.

"Yes, yes, yes." I said checking everything off my list.

"So we're going now?" Jake asked leaning against the trunk I pulled him close to me setting my crossed off list in the pocket of his pants.

"Yes, I am very ready to go." I smiled up at him before being catapulted into the arms of Alice.

"I've packed plenty of accessories and clothes, give me a call if you have any problems but I doubt you will." She pulled away and we both received hugs. Even Rosalie gave Jake a hug even though it last less than two seconds.

"Call us when you get there so we know you got there safe." Mom said fussing again. I laughed.

"Mum, Alice has seen our journey is going to be fine. Relax."

"Well I'm sorry that I wanted to double check the safety of my daughter and son in law!" her voice was an octave higher than usual and she stood on tip toes to try and tower over me.

"Mom, please calm down." I rubbed her arm and she closed her eyes.

"Just promise you'll ring me."

"Ok Bella, we'll ring you as soon as our plane as landed." Jake said nicely.

"And once you've arrived at the island too." She ordered sternly. I nodded solemnly to her orders and then hugged her tight.

"Goodbye all." I said getting into the car. Jake slid into the driver's seat and started the engine. From the rear view mirror I saw our family waving.

"Ready for romance?" I asked sexily as we pulled away, Jake nodded smiling.

My phone rang and Jake let out a small laugh.

"You are still in hearing distance" Emmett gruffed down the phone as I put it on loud speaker.

"Ok, bye Emmett I'm turning my phone off now!" I turned the phone off after the call was ended and put it into my bag.

"Ok now that my family are no longer listening in, let's have some us time."
