RENESMEE

I wasn't going to continue to let my overbearing father control every aspect of my life. I felt suffocated in this small town. I needed to get out, I needed to see the world, I needed to grow up and be normal.

I stalked back into the house, my family looking at me sympathetically.

'Renesmee' my dad started but I barged past him and stormed up to my room slamming my door. I think I had definitely been putting it on earlier, I found I could walk up the stairs just fine. Oops.

Edward thought he'd won, but he hadn't. I had to be extremely careful not to think of absolutely anything about my escape tonight. It was hard but I was used to having to hide my thoughts around my father. I idly packed a bag trying not to think about it. I just put anything in there, not really caring. I made sure I put Alice's new lingerie in there though, whether or not I'd have the guts to wear them I still included them. I also slipped into the medical room quietly and grabbed a whole box of the pre prepared needles Carlisle had been injecting me with. I knew they were making me better even if I hated them.

My phone buzzed and I reached in my pocket to answer

'I have your credit card, don't bother looking for it

See you soon

Love you

Jake xxx'

I sighed a breath of relief, I had tried to look for it and was about to become panicky because I definitely needed that if we were going to get by.

It was getting dark now, it was getting late and soon my mother and father would be off to the cottage. I still had an excuse to stay sleeping here because I was ill. If I wasn't, my dad would probably become suspicious.

I sat down on my bed and I suddenly felt ashamed of my behaviour earlier, of the way I had treated Jacob.

I really often did take him for granted, always shouting and screaming at him when I didn't get what I want. I was spoiled rotten and I don't know how I had ever deserved somebody as good as Jake. I vowed that on this trip I would show him how much I truly did appreciate and love him and I wouldn't push him into anything. I would let nature take its course.

I sat there thrumming my fingers against the wood on the end of my bed, growing impatient. It wasn't even 10 o clock yet. When would this day end?

'Renesmee, could you come downstairs please' I heard my father call. He didn't have to shout, I could hear him clearly enough.

I was about to yell no but I thought I'd better just go and act calm so that he wouldn't punish me further by remaining here tonight to spy on me.

I got up and stormed downstairs into the living room. They were sitting there, all of them, focusing on me.

'What are you looking at?' I said bitterly. I couldn't help it, they were seriously getting on my nerves. Emmett just laughed and Rosalie looked like she wanted to laugh aswell.

'Sorry Ness, it's just you've got exactly the same temper as Edward, you're so alike' Emmett said through his laughter.

I scowled, I had no desire to be linked to Edward Cullen tonight, I was angry at him. I hated the fact I had the same temper as him and I hated that I looked like him.

'Take a seat Renesmee, you're not on trial here, we just want you to come and sit with us, your family' my dad said smiling gently.

I narrowed my eyes, what was he up to?

He laughed 'I'm not up to anything, I just missed my daughter' he said and I reluctantly sat down on the single chair so I wouldn't have to sit next to anybody.

'I know you're angry with me right now but I can't let you go running off like that with Jacob. It was different when I said you could go on vacation. A planned vacation, with me and your mother close by.'

I scoffed, so that's why they'd agreed? Because they were going to follow me? Typical Edward and Bella. They really needed to get a life of their own.

My dad raised his eyebrows but I made no attempt to control my thoughts. I didn't care if he heard, it was all true, he needed to get a hobby.

'Maybe you can get a hobby aswell Renesmee, you could go to school when you're fully grown, I think it would do you well' my dad stated

'Yes Edward! I never thought about it, wouldn't that be a good idea Nessie?' my mother gushed, her eyes suddenly all bright with excitement.

'No' I replied coldly and my mother's faced fell a little

'I think it would be excellent idea' Esme chimed

'Well it's a good job nobody asked your opinion' I snapped back and she sighed heavily.

'Don't be so rude Renesmee' my dad scolded me 'we only said we think it would be a good idea'

'Of course you do, I'd be out of your hair for six hours a day and I'd be separated from Jacob, it would be the perfect idea for you' I replied

'How could you think that? I was thinking of you and how much it would benefit you. I love having you around, I'd never try and get rid of you and I have no aversion to you spending time with Jacob, I just have an aversion to you trying to run off with him'

I didn't even bother replying to him. I didn't want to go to college, I was smarter then all of those kids put together anyway. I could speak 5 languages fluently, I could play the piano, I knew the most complicated math like the back of my hand. I didn't want any friends; I had Jacob and the rest of the pack. No I didn't need to go to college. I wanted to travel the world and do extraordinary things like the extraordinary person I was. My dreams were much bigger than college.

My dad sighed, effectively ending the college discussion and we all watched some dumb film and talked amongst one another, laughing and joking. Well they were laughing and joking, I however remained silent in my seat counting down the time until I saw my Jacob again.

At half past eleven I declared myself tired and said goodnight.

'Goodnight Renesmee, I do love you, you know. With all my heart' my dad said kissing me on the forehead and my mom hugged me tightly 'see you tomorrow sweetheart, if you need anything tell somebody to come and get us.' I hugged my mother back, feeling slightly guilty that I was doing this to her. She'd be upset but I'd phone and let her know I was okay and she would forgive me because she loved me more than anything.

They went off to the cottage and I went upstairs to bed, everybody else said goodnight to me.

Carlisle followed me up soon after to run some checks.

'I think you're almost better Renesmee, you've healing extremely fast, today especially, your ribs are still sore but your bruises have nearly all gone, you'll be a hundred percent in a few days, does your head hurt?' he asked

'A little' I admitted. I'd had this nagging pain in my head all day and I knew it was because I was still injured.

He gave me some strong pills for my head out of one of his special cabinets.

'Can I keep those? You know just in case' I asked him as he was about to go back into the medical room and put them away. He seemed a little hesitant but handed them over all the same.

'Goodnight Renesmee, sweet dreams' he said ruffling my hair before closing my door and going downstairs.

I quickly stashed them in my bag and put it over my shoulder ready to go. I quietly put my shoes on and turned off the light in my room.

It was three minutes to 12; I knew Jake would probably already be there.

I knew my family were probably listening to me right now so I had to be extremely quiet. I could not afford for them to hear me. It was a good job I had inherited the vampire quality to be able to move quickly and quietly.

I stretched my bedroom window open wide and pushing myself up, jumped and landed with a soft thud on the grass. I didn't know if they had heard me, I had been pretty quiet but I didn't waste any time in running toward the entrance of the woods.

He was standing there, tall, tanned and muscular with a mischievous grin on his face. I ran right up to him, wincing slightly and he grabbed me and threw me over his back as he ran all the way to his car. He'd had to park it quite a distance away so my family wouldn't be able to hear the engine start.

We got in quickly and he immediately sped off.

I breathed a sigh of relief when we were finally driving.

'I can't believe you managed to sneak out' he said to me, smiling

'I have many qualities' I said winking and he laughed

'I can't believe were doing this' he stated

'I know'

Just then my phone rang and I immediately panicked, I looked at the caller ID and it was Alice. I looked at Jacob, not sure what to do and he nodded at me so I answered it.

'Renesmee, I just saw your future disappear I don't know how but I've gotten better with it lately, I've broken through the blind spots, where are you?'

'I'm with Jake, Aunt Alice please don't tell my dad' I begged

'I had a feeling' she stated 'I'm not going to, but I have about twenty seconds before he barges over here to come looking for you. Don't worry I'm away from the family, they can't hear me. You and Jacob need to throw your phones away so he can't track them okay? Get new ones when you can and make sure you call me and tell me where you are so I know you're safe. Trust me if you weren't with Jacob I wouldn't be doing this.'

'Thank you so much Aunt Alice, you're the best ever I love you so much, I owe you one'

'Love you Ness, and yes you both owe me big time, remember throw your phones away now'

'Okay!'

'Remember to call me' she said and then she was gone.

'Throw your phone out the window Jake' I said and he picked it up and threw it hard out of the window as I did mine.

He put the window back up and I leaned back and started laughing.

'This is so much fun' I stated and he smiled at me adoringly

And it was true; this was the most fun I'd had in ages.

We drove in silence for a while and whilst we were in traffic he turned to me.

'You're still injured Ness, what the hell am I gonna do?' he said looking worried

'I'm fine Jake, I'm healing real quick now, Carlisle said I was practically better and I brought some medicine and the needles from home just in case' I assured him. He looked uncertain.

'Jake we won't be gone for long, stop worrying, don't ruin this, I said I'm okay.'

'I'll look after you' he vowed and I smiled at him.

After about half an hour of driving I forgot that I hadn't even asked him where we were going.

'Jake, where are we going?' I asked

'Well, I think a certain beauty mentioned something about California?'

I grinned hugely, I was so excited.

California with Jake, away from my dad for a while? Perfect…

Two chapters in one day, you should be grateful.

Read, review, favourite, blah…
