Agreements

Mom had called me at least ten times, or the number presentation said it was mom. I was 100 percent sure it was Edward. He'd called twenty times before my mom started. Jake groaned every time the phone rang.

"Stupid, idiot lee…" Jake mumbled some offenses against Edward but I didn't listen.

I was laying next to him on the sofa, his arms wrapped around me, protecting me.

"Billy! Jacob!" a voice from outside the house screamed. Jake sat up and so did I. Billy came with his wheel chair to where Jake and I were laying. He opened the door and seconds after was my grandpa Charlie in the house.

"Grandpa?" I said, rising from the sofa, Jake glued to my hip. "What are you doing-" he cut me off before I could finish my sentence.

"What's this nonsense of you moving out of your house?" I looked down

"Grandpa, I told you…"

"That you had an argument with your father, yes. But not that you'd moved out! What are you thinking?" he looked at me with a disappointed look before turning to Jake

"And you." Jake's hands slightly left my waist as grandpa looked at him "Why don't you at least call her parents to tell them she's with you? She's a minor, Jacob. They can sue you…"

"Not if it was my choice, grandpa" he turned his eyes once again to me. "Don't think I'm not hurting, because I am. I'm hurting as much as they are, but I cant help it. I prefer to stay here with Jake" I fell back once again to his arms "Than go back and be kept in the dark again."

"Honey, but your mother-"

"I've talked to mom already. It's Edward."

He sighed and looked at Billy and Jake "You mind if I talk to my granddaughter, in private?" his eyes stayed on Jake.

"Of course, Charlie" Billy glared at Jake who didn't leave.

Ness…

I'll be fine. It's just Charlie

He let go but kissed the top of my head before leaving with Billy through the front door.

"Honey, sit" he pointed at the couch and he sat down next to me. "Sweet heart" he begun looking at the wall " Your so like your mother. You both hate when someone lies to you" he chuckled at some memory "And it's understandable. But I'm gonna tell you what I once told your mother when she found out I'd lied to her" he turned to face me "Sometimes, we parents, lie to our children to protect them, because we want the best for them. Now, I don't know what Edward lied to you about, but I bet he had a darn good reason to do it. Somehow that kid always does…"

"Not this time grandpa" my voice was thick "I don't know why he... I can't imagine what would make him lie to me like that. Lie to you guys. Did he tell you why we left?"

"No. But he did say it was for your best."

" I doubt that" I snorted

"Renesmee. Please. think about it. Isn't there anything you think would make Edward lie to you?"

I thought about it a while. Was there anything? He'd told me many times he'd do whatever to protect me and my mom from any type of danger. I only knew one, one that once again threatened us.

"honey. I know it's hard. But if you give him another opportunity he might-"

"How many opportiunities will I have to give him before he tells me the truth? I've asked him nice, I've tried to prove to him that I'm grown up to understand, but he keps lying to me, grandpa. Do you know how frustrated that is? I mean, he let me chose anything, even coming back to Forks, so he wouldn't need to tell me the truth."

My tears burned in my eyes and I looked away from my grandpa and blinked them away.

"That's why I think you neeed to talk with him. Runing away isn't quite a mature way of proving him that you're grown up. If you want to be mature, show him by being the one who takes the firs step. Call him and tell him that you've decided to give him this chance, but the last one. He has only this opportunity to be compleately honest with you"

it was hard to admit that he was right. I needed to give Edward one last opportunity. At least. After all he was my father. But I confess, that this would not go on smoothly.

I sighed "Fine" i whispered.

"That's my girl" he leaned over to hug me. it felt nice to smell his scent.

"You migh wanna call your mom." he mumbled.

"Yeah, and I'll talk to Edward" he smiled when I told him "Later"

"That's better than nothing" he kissed my foreheaed but turned serious "Jacob and you are moving fast"

i stiffened "Wha-what do you mean?"

"I mean, the way he sticks around you, he's ready to fight if anyone comes near"

"He's" I tried to fine a right word "overprotecting"

"Well, you had to be your mother's child" he laughed and i couldn't help but laugh too.

He left me on the couch and went out to talk to Billy. Jake came back in and immediatley took me in his arms "What are you going to do?" he mumbeled into my hear as he kissed my haed.

"I've to talk with him. Sooner or later."

"But what if he lies again?"

"Then, it was his choise. I can't do anything"

it hurted to say those words out loud. But that was the truth. This would be his last chance to either tell me the truth, or never talk to me again.

I called them later that night. I talked to mom first.

"So, Charlie went to talk to you?" she said after she'd told me she loved adn missed me like a hundred times.

"Yeah. I gotta say mom, he's really convinceive."

"Why?"

"Can I... talk to Edward"

she froze on the other edge of the phone "O-of course" the question had taken her by surprise.

i hear some noise on the other side before he talked.

"Hi, baby"

"Hi, Edward"

"I miss hearing you call me dad"

"One thing at the time, please?" I said feeling ready to hang up, but i really had to do it.

"Of course. How are you?"

"Fine, thank you."

"That's good"

"Okay, enough chit chat" jake entered the room as I said that "I'm going to give you one last chance, to talk to me, Edward. And use it well"

"What do you mean?"

i sighed "That you now have your chance to give me a dang good reason to excuse yourself for every little lie. I give you the chance to speak"

He took a deep breath "First, you should know that I love you, and that I'm so sorry this hurt you so much. Believe me, it was never my intention to cause you pain. But you have to know, that all I've ever done, is for your safety" he breathed again "I prefered not telling you about jacob when you lost your memory, beacuse I was afraid of the volturi" his voice said their name with disgust and jake automatically grabbed my hand.

"Why the volturi?"

"Because, they wanted to kill you before, and I'll bet anything that they've been watching for an excuse to make Aro see that you're a danger to all vampires"

i couldn't help but get shocked by his words. "So, you think that if they found out about me and Jake... they would see me as a threat?"

"The Volturi is scared of anything that they don't know about. They don't like not being in control of things in our world. So yes. I think their biggest fer is that you and Jacob together would be able to do things that are out of our world"

It sounded funny, but I couldn't laugh at it.

"You think thta's why they were around some days ago?"

"How do you know about it?" he said coldly

"Jake's honest with me, we found it easier" i said able to hide a bit of the ironyin my voice.

He was silent for a while "Am I forgiven?"

I somehow felt dissapointed. I hadn't any expectations about this call, so I didn't know why I felt dissapointed. "I guess" i finfally said "But don't expect that we'll start fine just like that. It's gonna take time to once again build up that trust"

"And I compleately understand that. When you come back, we'll talk"

"I'm not coming back, not for now"

"But, Renesmee, We miss you around"

"And I miss everyone. But I'm not going home for now. Maybe after we've talk tomorrow we can..." he cut me off

"Tomorrow? We're going to talk tomorrow? Will you come here?"

"There're some things that can't be discussed pver the phone, Edward. I'll call you again tomorrow before I go"

"I'll be waiting"

"Say 'hi' to everyone from me"

"I will"

"Kay"

"Renesmee..." he said just as i was about to hang up

"What?"

"I love you" he said firmly

"Good nigh, Edward" i hung up.

"You're really going?" Jake asked me

"I've to face him sooner or later. You think you could drive me there?"

"Of course" he leaned to kiss me.

Thank you

You're welcome

I went to bed, preparing for a long day. But for the first night in many, I felt asleep calmely.
