Chapter 3. I was hurt and then a miracle happened
I sat at the back of English hoping no one would see me, or speak to me. Annie came in and seen the look on my face. 'What's wrong'? She asked sitting next to me.
'Never mind'. I whispered. I really didn't want to talk to her. I wanted to sit on my own. Think about everything that has been going on in the last few days. Annie didn't take the hint, she started going on about the dance, and she had a date and a dress. I just ignored her. She asked if I was going to the dance. I shrugged. Like I could think about that. My dad was in a coma and my best friend was hurt. I also wondered what life would be like if Jacob did leave. Where would he go, how would he eat. What would I do? How would I live knowing my best friend isn't here when I need him? A piece of me missing would never be replaced. It made me depressed thinking about it.
Annie on the other hand didn't seem to care how I felt, she was still talking about her dress, showing me pictures on her phone, I just nodded she gave me dirty looks. I think she thought I was jealous I didn't care though. Why care about a dress when two of the people you love the most were injured.
'Sit down everyone'. The teacher came in, everyone shuffled to their chairs. 'Hello, my name is Mrs Delives'. She said writing her name on the board. She turned back to us again. 'Will someone hand out these books please'? She said. Annie got up and gave the books out. Hannah and Dean sneaked into the class. They sat on the table next to ours. 'Hello Renesmee how are you?' they whispered. I just smiled and nodded.
We didn't really do much that lesson because it was the first English lesson we had the teacher was introducing us. We had new books; she told us what we would be doing this year. Then the bell went.
'Come on Renesmee'. Annie grabbed my arm pulling me away from Hannah and Dean who frowned at Annie.
'Annie'. I tried to say but she had already pulled me through the hallways to our next lesson. We stopped outside the room. 'I can walk on my own'. I said. She shrugged at me. 'What is wrong with you today?' she asked. 'You look miserable; you haven't spoken a word all day. You didn't even compliment my dress'. She said frowning at me. I was angry. I wanted to slap her. She had no idea how I felt, what had happened. All she cared about was a dress. 'I don't care about your dress, not everything is about you, and I have bigger things to deal with so stop bugging me about your dress'. I shouted at her. She looked like I had slapped her. Her face went red.
'Well you could have at least said something'. She said. Then she walked into the classroom. Hannah ran over to me. 'What did Annie want'? She asked.
'She was wondering why I haven't been talking'. I said. We both walked into the classroom and sat at the back. Annie stared at us. She was sat alone.
'Are you Ok'. Hannah asked me. When it was half way through the lesson and I hadn't spoken a word. I nodded tears filled in my eyes.
'I am fine'. I choked the tears back.
'OK'. She said going back to do her work. Hannah was also quiet all lesson as well. Unlike Hannah she knew something was wrong, but knew I didn't want to talk about it.
It was lunch time now. We sat in the cafeteria at our table. Hannah was talking about going shopping some time for her dress. Dean had asked her to come to the prom. Annie wouldn't tell anyone who she was going with. I didn't care. A few more of Hannah and Annie's friend's joined us. I didn't know their names and I didn't care. I just nodded every now and again. I didn't eat at all.
I was finally alone in the next lesson. I could gather my thoughts up with no one distracting me. I felt free finally, draining out the teacher's voice. I thought about my mom's face it was so sad crumpled, broken. If she lost my dad she would also be alone for eternity. We would be able to comfort each other. I would try my best to show Jacob that him being here is good for me. I wouldn't be able to live without him. The teacher talked all lesson. I didn't care about school I wanted to go home.
The day finally came to an end. Dean came up to me. 'Are you ok?' he asked he looked really concerned. 'Yes I am ok Dean, but Hannah told me in geography she is waiting for you to ask her to the dance'. I said. He smiled nodding.
'See you later Renesmee'. He said turning out the school gates. My mom was late. She must of forgot.
Half an hour later she still hadn't come. I didn't know my way home walking. I took my phone out my pocket, I rang my mom. No answer. I rang Alice. The phone rang, and then someone answered. 'Hello'. They said.
'Hello, Alice'. I asked
'Yes'. She said.
'My mom was supposed to pick me up from school'. I said.
'I am sorry Renesmee, she hasn't come here'. Alice said. I closed the phone. I was suddenly worried. What had she done? She was packing and then going to Carlisle's. Where was she? My phone rang again.
'Hello'. I said.
'Renesmee, I am coming to get you'. Alice said over the phone. I nodded and said. 'Ok'.
Alice appeared ten minutes later. In her car. 'I am sorry Renesmee, I went to your house, and no one was in. A note was left on the door though. She has gone away for a few days to get her head round things'. She said.
I felt so lonely, my dad was in a coma, and my mom had gone away and abandoned me. 'Is there any way we could find her'. I asked.
I got in the car. 'Yes I will find her when we get back'. She said then she suddenly stared ahead. She was concentrating on something. A moment later she looked at me. 'I know where Bella is'. She said slamming her foot on the accelerator. The car skidded into gear. 'Where is she?' I asked. Putting my seatbelt on. I was scared. Alice was driving wildly.
'Remember I told you about Tanya'. She said. I nodded. My family had briefly mentioned Tanya and her family. They were an extended family to the Cullen's. They had helped my family so much.
'Bella has gone to Tanya she has told them what has happened. They are coming to our house, tonight'. She said.
'If they are coming here, why are we rushing'? I breathed.
'We need to get home before Tanya arrives'. She said.
We got home after ten minutes. Alice told everyone what she saw. Everyone was rushing round the house, getting dressed in their best clothes. I didn't understand it.
'Alice, what is happening'? I asked. Everyone was still rushing round.
'Tanya and her coven are coming to see Edward'. She said.
'So why is everyone dressing up'? I asked.
'Because Tanya is our good friend. We want to seem welcoming'. She said. She dragged me upstairs.
She put me in a little dress. A knee length blue jersey dress. No sleeves or straps.
'You look so cute'. She spun me around to look at me. 'Now hair and make-up'. She sat me down at her dressing table. 'Make-up first. She got her make-up out and started messing around with me. She put blue metallic eye shadow on and peachy lip gloss. 'Now your hair'. She said.
After an hour she had curled my hair and tied it with a butterfly clip. When she finished with me. I watched her get ready.
She put on a long red dress it had a red belt round the waist to hold her figure in. It had thin straps. She put on red lipstick and red eye shadow. She also did red eyeliner. She looked lovely. She brushed her hair out so it looked feathery. 'Come on'. She said grabbing my hand. We both walked downstairs.
Everyone else was wearing smart casual clothes. 'You two look lovely'. Rosalie said hugging us. She was wearing a long silver top with black skinny jeans. Her hair was wavy. 'You two'. We both said. I had almost forgotten all our problems. I didn't remember Tanya very much I hadn't seen her since I was very young.
Everyone gathered in the living room talking and laughing. Jacob was with us. He had also dressed up a little. He was walking round a little bit. He stayed with me though. We still had the notepad.
A knock on the door made everyone jump up. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. 'Hello everyone'. My mom came in the door. Her hair was messed up. She looked stressed. She came up to me and hugged me. 'I am so sorry Renesmee'. She said. I nodded at her. She got a suitcase out of the car.
'Where is everyone'? I asked.
'They are on their way'. She said. She hugged Jacob as well. He was really happy to be walking properly again. He could now do everything perfect except talk. My mom went upstairs to check on my dad.
'Hello'. A friendly voice said outside the door. Carlisle opened it. Taking everyone's coats and smiling. Tanya walked in first. I recognised her. I couldn't remember her when everyone had mentioned her. But she looked so familiar. Then the other members of the coven came in. They all looked so familiar. They said their hello's and hugged everyone. Kate came straight up to me. No one else did to begin with. Carlisle was explaining to Tanya what had happened to my dad. Carlisle took her upstairs to see him. Closely followed by my mom.
'Hello there, you must be Renesmee'. Kate asked. I nodded.
'How old are you now?' she asked hugging me.
'I am five years old'. I said proudly. She frowned. It was obvious she was a little confused.
'I am five but I have the physical and mental age of a fourteen year old'. I said. She smiled at me. 'Wow, it has been a while'. She said. Just then two other members of the coven came in. I didn't recognise them. Everyone else seemed to except me.
I learned their names quickly, Alice and Jasper greeted them both warmly everyone was talking and laughing for once in the night. The other two members' of the coven were Carmen and Eleazar.
Someone else came in a few minutes later. It was Zafrina, I remembered her well. She was the one who spent a lot of time with me, even though I was young I remember her so well. She taught my mom to strengthen her shield.
When she walked in, she came straight up to me. 'Oh Renesmee'. She cried pulling me into a hug. 'Hello'. I breathed. She loosened her grip holding me at arm's length.
'How have you been?' she laughed loudly, like a bellow. I giggled again.
'I am fine thank you'. I smiled. I was happy again; even Jacob seemed in a good mood. Jacob was smiling and nodding at everyone, they frowned thinking he was being rude. I explained the accident between Jacob and my dad. Resulting them both to be injured.
Tanya and Carlisle came back down stairs. They were smiling and laughing. Esme was talking to Kate. Tanya was the only one who didn't say anything to me. I didn't mind. It was so nice to see everyone again. My mom spent a lot of time talking to Zafrina.
Carlisle was talking to Tanya about Jacob going to hospital for an operation, and my dad might need to get checked out. Tanya talked about this vampire, her name was Anna. She had a special ability to heal people quicker than anyone could. She could heal someone in a week. From a deep coma to broken bones and more. She was coming to Forks on Wednesday to perform an operation. She was a private doctor now. She studied for years how to heal people; she trained her ability till it was perfect. She studied the anatomy and even went to university to become a surgeon. She has never really had to perform surgery.
'What is her last name'? Carlisle asked curiously.
'She doesn't know her last name, she recently joined our coven'. Tanya had said.
'I think I know her'. Carlisle said. Tanya seemed surprised. Alice had, had another vision. 'Oh my'. She screamed. Everyone turned to her. 'What is wrong Alice'? Jasper sprang to her side. 'Nothing is wrong, give me paper. Paper'. She cried. Jasper gave her paper. She drew a face, a person, no, too beautiful to be a person. A vampire.
'She is going to help Edward, I just saw it'. She smiled. She finished drawing.
Carlisle took the picture from Alice. 'I used to work with her years ago. We studied together years ago. I will have to go and see her on Wednesday'. He chuckled lightly to himself. Later that night everyone left. They would come back in a week to see how my dad was. Carlisle was in a great mood swaying Esme round the room twirling her around. Everyone else went out to hunt. Alice and Jasper stayed. Alice didn't want to risk missing anything else. They both went upstairs.
Later that night. I lay with Jacob he was resting at the bottom of my bed. I could still hear the music downstairs. Everyone seemed in a better mood. Even my mom. She came in my room with a big smile on her face. 'Goodnight Renesmee, goodnight Jacob'. She said quietly. Jacob looked at me smiling. He knew he would be better soon. A small part of me was sad to know when he was better he would leave. This vampire was coming to help Edward as well, she was coming Wednesday night. She would heal my dad. Everything was going to be back to normal.
The next morning everyone was in a better mood. I walked downstairs. Everyone said good morning smiling at me. They were watching TV. My mom was whistling. 'Morning Renesmee'. She sang happily. 'Morning mom'. I said smiling back.
'We have a special visitor tonight'. She said smiling again.
'Who?' I asked. We weren't expecting anyone. Carlisle's friend wasn't coming till tomorrow afternoon. She was spending the morning with Jacob and the afternoon with Carlisle helping my dad wake up. No one else was coming though.
'Your granddad'. She said. I hadn't seen granddad for a few years. The last time was at his and Sue's wedding. It was beautiful. My mom was so happy. Everyone was invited. We all got dressed up. It was a great evening. They only returned from their honeymoon a year ago after cruising round the world. He missed us a lot while he was gone. He phoned my mom quite a lot when he was away.
'When is he coming?' I asked.
'He will be coming with me to pick you up from school'. She smiled. 'Come on Renesmee otherwise you will be late'. She smiled. I was in a great mood. Jacob was smiling at us. 'Mom can Jacob come'. I asked her. Jacob beamed hugging me.
'Of course he can'. She smiled. She was in a great mood as well. Jacob walked to the door. I was helping him down the steps to the car.
Jacob
I could finally do everything I needed to, I can now walk properly. Even though Renesmee insists on helping me. I can't kill her good mood. When she hasn't been this happy for ages. Her granddad was coming later. I hadn't spoken to him in a while either. It would be nice to see him. Renesmee and Bella were talking about Edward finally waking up. Bella was a little worried she had never met this vampire who would heal him. She hoped it worked. Renesmee was excited she wanted to see her dad awake again. She saw him every day. She spent hours with him talking to him. Hugging him and telling him about her day. I was definitely wearing down. Why would I do this to Renesmee and her family? They would have to pick the pieces up of her heart. After everything they were doing. Could I really leave her? How selfish and ungrateful would I be? I wasn't going to tell Renesmee until her dad woke up and I could speak again.
But sat in the car with Bella and Renesmee, I felt content. Everyone was so happy now. Looking forward to Edward waking up. I have never felt so happy ever. Looking at Renesmee. Seeing her lovely smile, her warm caring eyes. Made me realise were I belonged.
Renesmee
I was a little confused to why Jacob was smiling at me like that. He used to do it all the time, like caring smile he told me ages ago because he felt like he finally belonged somewhere. But since he made the decision to leave he hasn't shown me his smile once until now. I think he was just happy for me, knowing my dad would be awake soon. I was so excited my dad was going to wake up soon. Jacob would also be able to speak soon. But the closer he was to speaking the less time I had with him. I was a little broken by this. He knows how much I care about him. I know he only does things for a reason though. It was nice to finally smile again without it being fake.
'Bye mom'. I smiled at her. She smiled back; Jacob got out to hug me. 'Bye Jacob'. I laughed. He was being really affectionate today. I think it is because everyone is in such a good mood. Me especially. Jacob kissed me on my head. I smiled at him hugging him tight. 'Jacob, do you want to stay with Renesmee?' My mom asked him. He nodded. His grin was wide now. 'Thanks mom'. I squealed hugging her. She laughed. 'Ok see you later Renesmee'. She said. Starting the engine and driving off.
Jacob walked me all the way to my first lesson. He held my hand all the way. I was talking to him about last night. It was a great night. Everyone was friendly even to Jacob. I didn't expect that. I couldn't wait for Jacob to be healed and my dad to be awake. He was still smiling when we reached the classroom. He took out our notepad. I will be here at lunch time outside your classroom. He handed me the pad I smiled again. And said thank you out loud. Then the bell rang.
I walked into the classroom. The teacher was already writing on the board. 'Ah so nice of you to join us. Miss Cullen'. She said. I cringed looking at the floor. I sat next to Dean. He seemed in a good mood as well. Annie was sat in front of us. With Hannah, and a few other people who sat with at lunch.
The lesson went by quite fast; we had a maths test which was easy. I was talking to Dean and Hannah who kept looking at each other. Dean wanted to ask Hannah on a date but didn't know how. So I said I would help him. Everyone was in a great mood today, smiling and laughing. Annie was showing pictures of her dress. This time I was interested. It was a long pink dress, with sequins round the waist part. The straps were thin, they tied round the neck. Everyone was complimenting her. I didn't like her much. But I was pretending to go along with everyone. I still didn't know if I was going to the dance.
I met Jacob at lunch time after sneaking out the fire exit in the bathroom. He was outside the gates staring into space. 'Hello Jacob'. I said hugging him. He just looked at me grinning. Then he took out his notepad. A few seconds later he handed me what he had wrote. Hello Renesmee how is your day so far? 'My day is going fine, I don't know if I am going to the dance, I want to but I don't want to go without a date'. I said loudly. Jacob grinned at me. Renesmee, when is your dance. We will have to talk to your mom about it. When I read this I asked him. 'But Jacob aren't you leaving me?' he shook his head grinning. I started crying. Tears rolling down my face. I was so happy. Jacob hugged me tightly. 'So about the dance'. I started. Jacob wrote again. When is the dance? He wrote to me. 'Just before we break up for Christmas holiday's'. I said out loudly. This was about 12 weeks away.
Lunch went by quickly and the bell rang for my last two lessons. I couldn't wait to get home. My other grandma and granddad would be there. I hadn't seen them in a while. Jacob was going to be able to talk soon; I would know exactly how he felt and what he thought. Everything was looking up.
Jacob
I hated to say goodbye to Renesmee, but it wasn't fair she should skip off school to stay with me. We hugged and said goodbye for five minutes. Renesmee was going to be late so I looked at her as if to say, you're going to be late. She frowned at me. My face softened when her face lifted up to frown. Once I wrote to her that I would be outside her door as soon as the fifth period bell went, her face lit up. Eyes sparkling and her smile was back. She left me after that. I just hung around the school for the remainder of the day. Watching people in their daily routines. I skimmed a stone into the main road. I was so bored.
Renesmee
I was so excited, obviously my mom would let me go to the dance, I don't know about my dad. I daren't ask him. Even when he woke up he would hate Jacob. At least my family would help me out. I told Hannah in science I would like to go shopping with her this weekend for dresses. Hannah was so happy, we didn't tell Annie. Another girl in our group of friends asked if she could come. Her name was Chloe she was really shy. She got asked to the dance by one of Dean's friends Stephen. I never really spoke to either of them they just hung out in our group of friends. So Saturday was on we were meeting up at ten o clock just outside our favourite restaurant. I was excited; if Jacob could speak maybe he would want to come with us. Bad idea actually he would be really bored, maybe my aunt Alice would want to come, any excuse to shop and she was in. I asked Hannah if my friend Alice could come, she said yes of course. Alice would be so excited and it would take her mind off everything that was going on.
Our last lesson was going slow. Annie refused to talk to me. I didn't know why, but I really didn't care. I think it was because of the dress shopping. Or that Dean decided to sit with me in geography instead of her. Dean told me that I was stealing her friends. I finished all my work. Mr Weason sat at his desk. Everyone had finished their work and started throwing paper balls around the room. He just sat there doing nothing staring into space. Dean was excited to go to the dance, he asked who I was going with but I said I didn't know yet. He was going to ask Hannah out on a date Saturday. He was going to turn up and take her. I told him the times we were going places. He should meet up with her at 2:30 outside our restaurant when we would be going to eat. Chloe didn't mind the plan either. I text it to her in geography.
The bell finally rang. Everyone sighed in relief. I packed up my bag escaping out of the door. 'Hello Jacob'. I said happily as he grinned at me. I was a little surprised even though he said he would be there. I didn't know if he would remember. I hugged him. He held my hand as we walked to meet my mom.
'Hello Renesmee'. My mom opened the door for us both. I was in a great mood. Mom had the radio on a popular pop channel. She was humming along to it.
'Hi mom, do you mind if I go out with some friends on Saturday'. I asked.
'No, I don't mind, I already knew you were going anyway. Alice is looking forward to it'. She sighed. I nodded watching everything go by. Jacob still had my hand.
'Your granddad is already here'. Mom started.
'Oh'. I said. It is a good job my mom and dad explained to my granddad about the growth thing. I looked the same age my dad was when he met my mom. This would bring back memories for granddad. 'Mom does granddad know what happened to dad and Jacob'. I asked biting my lip. She shook her head. 'No he doesn't'. She said.
'Can I show him what happened?' I asked. She shook her head again.
'No it is best you don't, your granddad told us he doesn't want to know anything except the basics about us'. She said. I left it at that.
'But mom what will you say when granddad speaks to Jacob and he can't talk back?' I asked.
'Alice is explaining everything to him, she has told him that Edward has gone away for a couple of days, and Jacob has a cold and has lost his voice'. She smiled.
'But Jacob doesn't look like he as a cold'. I said biting my lip.
'Renesmee, be quiet please you are giving me a headache'. She sighed.
We parked the car in the drive. Alice ran out to us. 'Hello Renesmee'. She smiled hugging me. 'Hello Alice,
I take that as a yes you want to come with us on Saturday'. I said walking to the house. She looked at me as if to say well duh. 'Of course'. She grinned bouncing into the house.
'Bella, Renesmee, How are you both?' granddad stood up and hugged us both.
'Fine'. We both said. He sat back down looking uncomfortable. Jasper and Emmett were playing a board game with Rosalie. They grinned when we walked in.
'What are you playing?' I asked walking up to them.
'I don't know we found it in the attic earlier. It is great fun'. They smiled. I went into the kitchen, Esme was serving up food. 'Do you need help?' I asked.
She handed me knives and forks to set the table. She served up the food. It smelt so nice. 'What is it?' I asked looking inside the big pot.
'It is a casserole'. I found a recipe book in the attic and found this'. She smiled looking pleased with herself.
'Dinner is ready'. She shouted from the kitchen. Everyone came in. Well not everyone. Granddad, Jacob, sue and me all sat at the table. Alice joined us in the kitchen to discuss what we were both wearing on Saturday.
'So are you and Jacob going to the dance?' she asked. I and Jacob both kicked her under the table. 'Hey'. She shouted.
'Everyone be nice'. She gave Alice a look. She smiled at me and Jacob then walked out of the kitchen. My mom sat down next to me. 'So how have you all been'? Granddad was asking us lots of questions. He was talking about how much I had grown. Asking how old I was. Me and mom chuckled. Mom told granddad my age he didn't look surprised. Just happy to see us. He was talking about a joint party for me and mom. Alice ran in as soon as she heard party. Everyone else sighed.
I didn't actually mind a party, mom's face fell and she accused me of taking sides.
'Mom why don't you want a party?' I asked as soon as granddad had left.
'I have had bad experiences with parties'. She sighed.
'Yes but even before that you hated parties'. I said. Alice giggled. Mom shot her a look and she whispered sorry.
'I don't age so what is the point in having a party, I hate being the centre of attention'. She moaned. Emmett just laughed hard.
'Yes but Bella this time you won't get hurt, come on have a party'. He said. Rosalie smiled encouraged. Mom backed down.
Jacob
Charlie had left Bella was sat reading a magazine with Alice and Rosalie. This was my chance. I got my notepad out and started writing. Bella could we talk for a minute.
She nodded and stood up. Everyone looked at her confused. She shook her head at them. They just went back to reading. We sat in the kitchen.
'Hello Jacob what's up?' she sat at the table looking at me. I grinned hugging her. I took my notepad out flipping to a clean page. I wrote hello Bella I am fine, I just wanted to ask you if I could take Renesmee to the school dance. It is just before Christmas holidays.
I handed her the notepad. I could see her concentrating on the words. She finally put it down. 'Thank you for asking me Jacob, I don't know what Edward would say about this, but I say it is fine. But just check with Edward when he wakes up. I nodded. Hugging her. 'Oh yeah Jacob?' she asked. I swung my head round to her.
'Good luck for tomorrow'. She smiled and hugged me. I walked into the living room. Everyone was watching the news. I sat with Renesmee, who was reading a magazine. 'Renesmee don't you have homework?' Bella asked her. She nodded and ran upstairs. I followed her.
Renesmee
Jacob came in my room. I could tell by his face it was good. 'She said yes'. I cried. Jacob smiled then his face went serious. He wrote. Your mom said yes, but when your dad wakes up it is up to him. I was a little angry at this. Jacob hugged me and wrote don't worry. We talked for the rest of the night. Until my mom told me to go sleep anyway.
It was morning. I was downstairs with Jacob eating breakfast. 'Actually Esme this isn't bad'. I spooned another mouthful in my mouth. She nodded and smiled. 'I told you'. She said. I didn't think I would like cereal. The last one I tried tasted horrible and it put me off. But this one was chocolate. It was nice. When I finished I washed my bowl up and put it away. 'Renesmee come on'. Mom shouted from the living room. I hurried along. Jacob hugged me. He was going to the hospital in an hour. Carlisle and the new doctor Anna would try to make his voice work. I was excited. But Carlisle had told me even if it worked it would take at least three days for him to speak. They were also going to wake my dad up. Mom was excited about this. He would also have to rest a couple of days if he woke up to make sure everything was right.
In the car mom was driving quite slowly. She had the radio turned up high, her window was wound down. She was singing along to the radio loudly. I didn't mind because I was in a great mood. School would be annoying; I wanted to stay with my dad and Jacob.
'Mom why can't I stay?' I asked for the hundredth time. She sighed again.
'I have already explained this a dozen times to you'. She sounded angry.
'Yes but it isn't fair, my dad will wake up. Jacob will be able to talk. I have to be at school'. I moaned. She sighed.
'Because, everyone is suspicious as it is. We can't cause more reasons for people to speak about us'. She hissed. I backed off.
'Mom does that mean we will have to leave soon?' I asked. I didn't want to leave my new friends.
'We might have to, it depends'. She said. 'We can stay a while; Carlisle hasn't been to work at the hospital for ten years. We are safe for now'. She nodded. We turned into the school parking lot. She parked up. Quickly doing the windows up.
'Bye mom'. I smiled closing the car door.
'Bye Renesmee'. She said pulling out the gates.
Jacob
Everyone was crowded round Alice. 'Alice what did you see?' Jasper stood next to her kissing her face. She shook her head and came back to life.
'It's Edward'. She whispered. Everyone crowded round her.
'What about him. Alice'. Jasper was still in front of her.
'He is going to wake up tomorrow, but there was something else. I didn't see what it was but it was bad'. She cried. Jasper hugged her. 'Don't worry Alice'. He said stroking her hair. I sat with her. She looked at him. 'But something happens'. She screamed. Carlisle came into the room. 'Alice what happened?' he asked taking her hand. 'I saw him wake up, but he wasn't fully recovered. No matter how much sleep he gets. Something happens. I didn't see what but'. She trailed off. Everyone reassured her.
'Come on Jacob time for surgery'. He said. He gave me a nod. I got up and followed him out of the door. I was nervous.
Renesmee
It was only my third lesson. It felt like forever. The teacher was telling us about our art projects and what we would be doing. I wasn't paying attention to her. I was so worried about Jacob. I wanted to go home but I still had lunch and two lessons. I wish mom had let me have at least today off. But people were getting suspicious. Hannah had told me not to listen to rumours or nonsense. She was sat with me. We had to design a front page for our art books. She put pens and colouring crayons on the table. I spent the whole lesson colouring in and making my art book colourful.
At lunch I was in the library reading. I wasn't hungry, and people were talking about me. I hid in the bookshelves crying. I cried for my dad and Jacob and my mom and everything that was going on. The people talking about me would soon get told. I will send Emmett to them. They would be scared.
When the bell had gone for my fourth lesson I slowly walked to the lesson. I didn't want to go but if I skipped Alice would see me and I would be in trouble. I went to it but I didn't do any work. Miss Isby sent me to the emergency room. I told the nurse I felt sick. She let me lay sit in the waiting room with a glass of water.
'Do you need me to ring your parents'? She asked worriedly.
'No'. I shouted. She looked suspicious. I immediately sat down. 'No it is OK I will be fine'. I smiled at her. She looked confused but nodded anyway. I sat down again closing my eyes. I was actually getting a headache. I stayed in the emergency room till the last bell rang. 'Ok Renesmee'. The nurse now had a badge on. Her name was Miss Poil. I giggled at her name. She gave me a funny look. 'You can go home'. She said going back inside the office.
I stood in the parking lot waiting for mom. She was late again. I just watched everyone clear the lot. Finally my mom came. 'I am sorry Renesmee'. She said smiling apologetic at me.
'It is ok mom'. I sighed getting in the car.
'So, how is Jacob?' I asked. Mom looked at me. She knew I would ask.
'Jacob is fine. Anna is a very good doctor; she worked closely with Jacob who can now whisper'. She smiled. I laughed happily, and hugged her.
'Yes but he has to rest his voice, he can only whisper but he isn't allowed to do it that much. Anna and Carlisle are keeping a very close eye on him for a couple of days. But by Sunday he should be able to speak completely'. She said turning the corner.
'That is great mom, but I thought it could take years for his voice to come back'. I frowned.
'Yes but not everyone has Anna to help them'. She said. I just sat in the car staring out the window. I was so happy.
'Hello everyone'. I shouted when I got inside. No one was around.
'Where is everyone?' I asked mom who joined me.
'Upstairs with your dad'. She said closing the door behind herself.
We both ran upstairs to dad. He was still unconscious. Anna had her eyes clothes concentrating on my dad. She said it wouldn't happen straight the way. It would take a few hours for anything to happen. He might move or wake. Carlisle took everyone downstairs. 'Come on'. He said. Grabbing his coat.
Everyone looked at him confused. 'We are going hunting, come on'. He sounded impatient. Everyone quickly got up and followed him out of the door. Mom put me on her back. We raced through the forest, going completely out of Forks. It was cold where we were. A light dusting of frost covered the grass. I shivered cuddling closer to mom. We ended up on the mountains right outside of Forks. We all parted, Emmett and Rosalie went one way. Alice and Jasper went another way. Carlisle went on his own; Esme was looking after Jacob and cooking dinner. Me and mom went with Carlisle.
When we met back up again everyone seemed satisfied. Me and mom had worked together with Carlisle to find a whole group of snow leopards. I had to stay away till mom and Carlisle had killed them. Mom helped me with the cubs. When we met up again everyone was satisfied.
When we got home, we all went to check on my dad. He hadn't opened his eyes but he could move. He was also sat up. He was awake, but Anna told us it would be another 4 hours before anything else happened.
'So he might wake up tonight?' mom asked. Getting excited. Alice squeezed her hand. She smiled at her.
'Yes he should be awake either late tonight or early tomorrow'. She smiled. I hugged mom. She was thankful.
'Anna, how long will it take for Jacob to talk?' I asked.
'I think you should go and see him'. She smiled. I ran across the corridor to my room. Jacob was sat on the bed. 'Hello Jacob'. I said hugging him.
'Hello Renesmee'. He said grinning and hugging me.
'Oh'. I cried. 'You can talk'. I laughed hugging him tighter.
'Renesmee, could you let me breath'. He breathed. I nodded laughing.
Jacob
I was so happy that I could speak; I would have to do something to pay Carlisle and Anna back. They really are great doctors. I just sat with Renesmee talking about the dance. I already knew she was going shopping. Alice wouldn't shut up about it. We were interrupted by Esme. She had finished cooking. We both went downstairs to eat. Renesmee only wanted a small portion, Esme gave Carlisle a look. Because they went hunting. We both ate our food anyway. Everyone else was upstairs with Edward. He could now open his eyes and move, but he couldn't walk or talk yet. Renesmee was happy. I was happy for her. Everyone was in a good mood as well. Music was on in the living room loud. Alice and Jasper was dancing. Carlisle told everyone to come back in an hour. They were still doing things for Edward. So Alice decided to throw a mini party. She put balloons up and music. Everyone was lively. Emmett and Jasper were arm wrestling. Rosalie was playing with her new phone. I was dancing with Renesmee. Twirling her round and catching her.
Finally Carlisle and Anna came downstairs looking excited. 'Edward has just walked across the hallway'. Carlisle said. Anna was smiling beside him. Everyone jumped up laughing and hugging each other. 'Be careful everyone, he doesn't seem to know where he is'. Carlisle added.
'Can we see him'? Alice asked. He nodded. Everyone went upstairs to Edward's room. He was sat on his bed. He looked terrified. Pointing at his family. Screaming.
'I think he has forgotten who he is'. Anna said. Renesmee went up to him.
'Dad, it is me'. She said touching his face. He backed away scared. He mouthed to us all. He couldn't talk yet. He could scream though and that is what he did. Carlisle and Anna had to inject him to make him sleep. Bella was crying. Everyone looked hurt.
We all went back downstairs except Bella who stood by him. Sobbing into his chest. Carlisle was with her comforting her. Renesmee looked scared.
Renesmee
I couldn't stop crying. I felt worst for my mom. She sat with my dad all night sobbing into him. Everyone else was trying to comfort her. Everyone was so shocked and upset. Anna was very disappointed. Carlisle had told her it wasn't her fault. She still sulked. Carlisle needed Anna to stay. They needed to keep an eye on my dad. Anna would try to make him better. It would take a while though. Jacob was with me all night trying to make me feel better. He said he would drive me to school tomorrow. I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay with my dad. I also told Jacob what everyone at school was talking about. He was so angry. He had to go out of the house for a while. I just sat in my room crying till I fell asleep.
It was morning. Mom was still in my dad's room. She sat by him. He was confused and scared. Flinching away from her. She was crying again. 'Come on Bella, let Anna work on Edward'. Carlisle said helping mom up she nodded and went downstairs. I had breakfast with Jacob then got in the car to drive to school.
Edward
I didn't understand anything. Where was I? Who were these people with me? They looked weird. Unusually beautiful. I didn't know if they would hurt me. I hadn't given them a chance really. I thought I was in a nightmare. It was creepy. These people were surrounding me, like they know me; I heard voices in my head. Thoughts. I didn't know who's they were but it was pretty scary. A woman sat by my bed, sobbing, I didn't know who she was. A man came into the room every now and again. I assumed he was a doctor. He tried to explain who he was, who the rest of the people were. The woman was apparently my wife. But how could she be I had never seen her before in my life. Then he said something which shocked me. They were all vampires, and so was I. The doctor gave me a mirror. I was shocked and scared. I cried. But no tears filled my eyes. I dry sobbed. The doctor made me walk into the garden. The sun was out, it was a warm day. Another woman came out with a full length mirror. I looked into it. I was sparkling. I didn't understand. Why would I sparkle? I wasn't a vampire, I couldn't be. But when I looked at my skin, covered in diamonds. I didn't know what to think. Who I was. Or what I was.
