Chapter 9. Strange happening
He asked. I just nodded trying to get away from him to see what was wrong with my family.
Everyone was crowded around Alice who was staring at the ground.
I got up and rushed over to my family. "What's happening?" I asked. Alice snapped back to us. "We need to go somewhere more private". She said.
We found an empty closet where no one was around. "What happened?" I knew my dad already knew obviously because his face looked troubled. "The fight is in four days. I saw us fight and one of us got hurt. I knew it was one of us I could feel the vibe. I don't know who it is blurry. I...Oh". Her face creased up like she had just been punched.
"Renesmee". She whispered. Everyone stared at me and hissed.
"But how can that happen, I'm not even at the fight". I said.
"Yes I know but I saw you talking to what seemed like Edward and Jacob. You were trying to stop them fighting then Jacob got angry with everything and blurted out the whole truth about the accident. Edward just stood still calmly which wound Jacob up even more and Jacob phased in front of you and hurt you. I just shook my head. "But that won't happen because I won't be at the fight". I said.
"Exactly well as long as you aren't at the fight then it will be okay". Dad said.
I was still upset about this but I was determined not to be at the fight. If I wasn't at the fight does that mean that dad will get hurt? No I doubt it I think my dad can handle himself and even if he can't my family will handle the situation. I knew I shouldn't worry but it was natural I couldn't help it.
Alice went home after lunch because she had a migraine and she needed to tell Carlisle and Esme what was happening. I had to go to class though. I felt a little sorry for Sam after he took so long telling me what he felt for me and I blew him off like that. I hope he wouldn't mind too much I obviously can't tell him why.
The rest of the day went slow and boring. I had math and geography which seemed to drag along. The weather was now dark and thundery. It was really raining outside hard. I just wanted to go home though I had had enough of today now.
Finally the class finished I sighed in relief when 5th period was over. I was in the same class as my dad so we walked to the car. We waited for mom and Jasper which seemed to take ages. I was afraid the rain would break the windshield.
We headed home quickly to tell granddad and grandma what Alice saw. "I will make sure Renesmee isn't at the fight." Esme said after dad had finished telling them.
"Yes, that would be the best idea."Carlisle said.
"I don't need looking after." I tried to say; every time I did they gave me a disapproved look.
"Seriously, I don't need looking after." No point in arguing. I was defeated. They all just looked at me as if I had just said that I had seen an alien.
"Now Renesmee listen to us ok? We are doing this for your safety. So please just do as we say." Mom asked me. I just nodded.
The rest of the night was dull. I was so worried about my family that I couldn't relax at all. Not even in my new bedroom. Mom and dad had gone hunting again so they were strong enough to fight. Everyone else was hanging around the house. I couldn't hear any of them so they must have been watching TV or talking very quietly.
That night I had the worse sleep in the world. When my alarm woke me up in the morning, I felt like I had been squashed by a large lorry.
"Renesmee. Time for school." Mom shouted to me. I groaned and rolled over. She came into my room and pulled my quilt off of me. "Come on sleepy head." Her voice was a little gentler now. Once she saw me she looked shocked. "Renesmee, what have you been doing all night?"
"Worrying about the fight." I yawned.
Mom wrapped her arm around me and cradled me. "Oh Renesmee you shouldn't worry, you know we will take care of this." She said.
"I know but I do still care about Jacob." I hated to admit it but I did. I was always close to him growing up. Mom and dad said we were inseparable. Dad didn't like this but mom had talked dad into the idea. "I know you do honey." She stroked my head.
"Come on."
It was Thursday morning, two days before the fight. I was so nervous.
Dad had now let me go out in the car without him behind me, so I could go school on my own without my family. I didn't mind going with them but sometimes I needed to be alone. Dad told me this was fine as long as I kept my cell with me.
So now I was driving down the road to school. I knew the way perfectly, yet dad still hadn't kept to his promise. I knew he was behind me somewhere. I couldn't see him because the rain made everything unclear.
When I had got to school. Mom, dad and the rest of my family were there already. I was a little angry since they said I could drive on my own and they had taken the short cut route that I had to swear to my dad I wouldn't take, seriously, he made me promise like a million times I wouldn't take that route. Only because it was through the forest and he didn't want me hurt. I looked to mom for advice but she didn't say anything. Instead she bit her lip looking worried.
School was a bummer. We had to listen to a speech made by someone from a rehab place telling us the danger or drugs and drinking. It was boring and I didn't have any classes with Sam.
I was feeling really guilty for blowing Sam off like that. He must hate me. I felt terrible.
So when I walked into math and saw Sam with his head down faced away from everyone. I knew it was my fault, my heart sank.
I sat down on the table next to his with my mom and Alice. Alice was having another vision but since the room was filling up neither me nor my mom asked.
Sam was looking over at me every couple of minutes; I could tell he was hinting for me to talk to him, but I didn't want us to argue or fight, I wanted to talk to him in private.
But that wasn't going to happen, especially when Alice was sat next to me elbowing me and looking at Sam.
I took a deep breath and shuffled onto the seat next to Sam.
"Hey." Was all he said. I took another breath, by then Jack, Jade and Hailey moved away leaving us alone.
"Look Sam, about the other day." I started but he shook his head.
"Renesmee. If you didn't want to go out, you could have just said something." I felt tears in my eyes. He was so far from the spot that I was mad that I couldn't tell him.
"But Sam." I tried. Sam put his hand up to me.
"No Renesmee." He said. I turned to my mom and Alice. I felt helpless and sad. I didn't know what to say. I just wish I could tell him the truth. But Alice's eyes nearly fell out her eyes with the look she was giving me and how viciously she was shaking her head. Mom just tilted her head and looked confused.
"Sam. Please let me explain." I said. I looked at him desperate and he sighed and nodded.
I wanted to say. My family are vampires I am sorry I had to go because my family are fighting a bunch of wolves and apparently I am going to get hurt.
But instead I said. "Sam we are having a family crisis, I am sorry." Hey it's not like it is lying. Sam looked up at me and smiled. "So you do like me?" He asked.
"Of course I like you." I smiled and nudged him playfully. Sam looked like he was going to burst of happiness. "So do you want to catch a movie this weekend?"
I bit my lip not wanting to upset him since he looked so happy. I didn't know what to say but Alice was mouthing, say yes. To me and mom was just smiling and winking,
"Urn sure." I said shrugging my shoulders.
Sam was beaming when Jade, Jack and Hailey returned smiling at us. When I confirmed we were going out Saturday, Jade and Jack squealed excitedly.
"Hey why don't we triple date?" Jade asked. Jack seemed ok with the idea and so it was settled. Jade and Jack, Hailey and Louis (Louis also sits with us at lunch although he doesn't really talk much) Louis just shrugged looking uncomfortable but agreed anyway.
I didn't know how this was going to work since the fight was happening and Sam was going to pick me up at 12. My family said they would be leaving by sunset. So I would be home alone. Yet since Alice had the vision I knew this wouldn't be easy. My family wouldn't leave me alone in case someone hurt me.
