Alice Ringing

I took a deep breath and pressed the green button; still keeping my attention on the slightly calming form in front of me.

“Hey Alice, what’s up?” My voice- though stronger than before- was still shaking slightly. It wasn’t something that Alice was going to miss…she knew something was wrong. She must have seen it before I’d even thought it through properly.

“Renesmee, are you okay?” I cleared my throat, ready to answer her.

“Y-Yeah why?”

“I saw Jacob loosing control and-“I had to stop her there.

“Alice, please tell me you didn’t say anything to my Father” I was holding on to the small glimmer of hope that Alice would laugh and tell me that he didn’t know anything about it.

“Renesmee, Edward’s on his way now with Bella, and they’re not happy…” I hadn’t taken a breath from when I had finished asking the question, so a small hissing noise escaped my grasp as I exhaled. I said a quick goodbye and practically crushed the phone in my hand. I was so mad at my parents for taking it upon themselves to sort this out.

“They’re coming, aren’t they?” I nodded at Jacob’s question “I have to get out of here”

“What!” My voice was high pitched and hysterical. “Why?”

“I promised them that nothing would happen between us…ever”

“Nothing did happen Jacob!” I threw my hands up in the air, before bringing them down and clasping them in front of me. I took a deep breath and sighed. The last thing I needed right now was some lecture from my parent’s about growing up and ‘coming of age’. I didn’t need it, I knew the rules, but I wasn’t exactly a symbol of dedication to them. I wasn’t meant to be alive. Well if you could call me ‘alive’ that is.

“Get away from her!” I mentally groaned as my mother interrupted mine and Jacob’s conversation. I wanted to handle this on my own. But then again, what I wanted was never what I usually got.

“Back off Jacob before I do something my daughter will hate me for” I gazed at them both with a look of disapproval. Father stood tall; trying in his best efforts to scare away what he saw as a threat. His bronze hair stood perfectly gravity defiant- though surprisingly stylish-at odd angles and his suddenly darkened eyes ripped into Jacob’s flesh. I could only imagine what he was thinking.

I felt my mother’s arms around me, but I shrugged them off, I didn’t want to be protected, I didn’t need her to protect me from Jacob.

“He didn’t do anything father” I spoke up, trying to dislodge his fixed glare. It was me… I added mentally, knowing that he would be listening to my thoughts now more than ever. He spared a glance at me before turning back to Jacob…this wasn’t going to be easy.

“You broke your promise. Leave Forks” Jacob looked at the floor and then at me. “NOW!” I went to walk forward but my mother’s arms were locked around my own before I could. He walked backwards; keeping his eyes on me.

“You know if I could’ve, I would have in a split second, Nessie” Tears began to run down my cheeks; I wasn’t even tempted to hide them, I wanted my parents to see how it was affecting me. My father lunged forward; ready to attack him, but he was gone and I was alone…  

“W-What…h-have you d-done” I sobbed, pulling away from my mother who was trying to console me. “G-Get off! You didn’t s-stop hi-m” It had all made so much sense. All of my memories tie to Jacob, because we are tied. Everything I have ever done, Jacob has shadowed it, whether physically or not. Not only was my best friend gone…but my soul mate also.

“Renesmee, he wasn’t your sou-“

“Don’t” I stopped my father before he could continue. “Don’t question my love like you question my mother’s. Because you knew. Both of you did. And you never even explained” A pained expression appeared across his face.

“Ahh” He hissed through gritted teeth. Mother moved to him, and began to fret.

“What are you doing to him Renesmee!”

“He’s feeling what I am feeling. How many times did you wish he could feel the pain, when he left you?” I turned around and began to run in the direction that Jacob had ran off in. I couldn’t do this, not now. My mind began to wander as the world began to blur around me.

I would find him…

I had to…
