This section is now back in Renesmee's point of view

I cried for quite a while. When I finallylooked in the mirror I looked a mess. My hair was everywhere and my mascara had run all over the place. I looked at the once white pillow I had been crying into which had now turned black. I went to the bathroom to wash my face. The water felt freezing cold. It sent a shiver all up my spine. When I had washed my face I tied my hair back into a bun. I looked in the mirror. I had dark circles under my eyes from the mascara smudge, I was wearing a grey sweater and my red cheeks had now turned pink. I looked like I had a hangover. I went back into my room to do some school work. As I was doing some maths work my mum knocked on the door.

"Hey sweetheart, I brought you something to eat", said Mum.

"Mum, you know I prefer blood", I said.

"Since you can actually eat food why not take advantage of that and eat", said Mum. "It's lentil soup. I thought it would be nice comfort food."

I tasted it.

"How is it?" asked Mum.

"It tastes like blood that's been in the sun too long", I replied.

Mum laughed giving me a shove.

"I wish you would stop comparing food to blood", said Mum. "Anyway is your party going to still be on despite things with Jacob and all that?"

I thought about it for a second. Then I replied.

"Why not", I said. "Who's to say I can't have fun without Jacob. We'll just have our own party, just us lot."

"Oh that's great sweetheart, you'll enjoy it so much", said Mum. "I'll just tell the others the good news."

She walked over to the door. But then she turned around to me.

"Eat", she said before walking out the door.

So I ate the lentil soup. Lately I had sort of had a liking to human food. But anyway, I put a dress on that Auntie Alice gave me while she did my hair. I liked the dress. It was knee-length and was black and sequined. Alice did my hair up in a fancy bun and put in a sequinned hair band to match the sequinned dress. I honestly thought without anyone telling me that I looked pretty.

"Are you ready?" asked Alice.

"Wait I said and I put on the locket my mother had gotten me for Christmas which said more than my own life inside in French. "Now I'm ready.

As I went downstairs everyone was clapping shouting happy birthday. Emmet was taking pictures on the camera standing next to Rosalie, while Jasper got up to Alice. I could see my Mum and Dad with their arm around each other and my grandparents were doing the same. Everyone was having their love fest except me. Rosalie was the first to greet me. She ran up to me and gave me a massive hug.

"You'll love my present", she said handing me a carefully wrapped gift.

I opened it with caution. Inside was a sapphire necklace with sapphire earrings and a sapphire bracelet.

"Sapphire is the birth stone for September", said Rosalie proudly.

"How come you never get me something like that?" said mum.

"Bella come on", said Dad.

While everyone was in their own world having a chat I looked at my present. I then looked at the bracelet. It reminded me of Jacob. I was pretty sure my face had turned a different colour.

"Are you alright Ness?" asked Rosalie worried.

"I'm fine I'm just a bit peckish", I said walking over to the snack table.

But I wasn't hungry. I started to feel dizzy. Before I knew it I had collapsed. Everyone crowded around me. Their faces were turning into blurs. Suddenly all I could see was white. Then I remembered my first ever Christmas. I was having a flashback. I could remember getting the mp3 player, my dad hugging me. I was wearing the locket my mum gave me and the charm bracelet Jacob gave me. But my mum wasn't next to me. She was outside with Jacob. They were arguing. She was trying to go but he was stopping her from going. Then something unexpected happened. Jacob reached out and gave my Mum a big kiss on the forehead. Then he gave her a tiny kiss on the lips but she slapped him. He laughed. She was then laughing. What was going on? Why was she laughing and not throwing a fit. Then she mouthed something. I could make it out. She was mouthing I love you. My eyes started to swell up. I was getting confused. Why was nobody honest? I soon woke up to find everyone crowded around me. Then mum started talking.

"Nessie are you alright?" she asked worried.

"Why is nobody honest?" I cried tearfully.

"What", she said but then I ran upstairs.

"Nessie", she called after me.

"I trusted you", I yelled sobbing up the stairs.

"What was that all about?" asked Dad.

"I have no idea", replied Mum just as confused as Dad.
