A/N: I'm writing this idea for Missphoenix05 on YouTube. She came up with this AMAZING idea, made a trailer and asked if anyone would be willing to write it and I am!
I decided it would be most accurately told in Renesmee's point of view but I might change it for certain chapters also.
Renesmee:
The road out of Forks. The road to New York. That was the precise road we were on. It wasn't exactly the biggest moment in my short life. We'd moved a lot… It's kind of hard to stay in one place for too long when you grow as quickly as I do.
We'd only returned to Forks because it was on the way back from Denali and I'd wanted to visit Tanya and everyone one last time before we set up a more permanent residence all the way across the country. Plus Grandpa Charlie wanted to see his superhero miracle grow granddaughter…
But there I was, stuck in the back seat of the Volvo for at least another six hours… Leave it to dad to want to get somewhere fast.
Me? I could care less how fast we got there. Either way I had my first day of high school waiting for me when we got there. I wouldn't even get a few days off before school. We'd get there today, Sunday, and start school Monday.
I shifted myself in the seat, sick of the lack of leg room, and outstretched my feet onto Jacob's lap.
Oh yes, Jacob, my giant wolf protector was with us- believe me, my family was not nearly as enthralled as I was when he decided he would come with us wherever we go… ever…
He placed his arm over my legs and smiled at me. Out of everyone, he is the only one who could sympathize with my need for space to stretch my legs. Sure I'm only half human, but I still have the need to move after an hour or so of just sitting!
Mom sat in front of me in the passenger seat, twiddling with the stereo. Dad, on the other hand, kept glancing from the road to Jacob's reflection in the rear view mirror and rolling his eyes. This was something we'd grown accustomed to since no one else in the family would allow him in their car.
I looked out of the rear window at Emmett's gigantic jeep. Rose flipped through a magazine while Emmett stared right back at me. His face was more somber than it usually was…
"Rosalie won't play the License Plate game with him and she called him a baby." Dad answered my thoughts with a small smile.
I chuckled. Rose just about locked me in the trunk when I taught Emmett that game…
I looked back at my favorite uncle and stuck my tongue out at him. He made a disgusted face, but grinned anyways.
"He would like me to tell you that that was very rude of you." Dad chuckled.
"I learned from the best." I said to Emmett, knowing he could hear me.
He made a gesture as if to say "Touché".
"Would you two stop causing trouble? The last thing we need is another incident like what happened in Minnesota…" Mom recalled with a grimace.
"Hey! That was Emmett!" I sat up and gripped her seat. I knew she could hear me just fine where I was, but I like to be near her. "It's not like I told him to push Alice, Jasper, and the Porsche into that ditch. And honestly, she should have seen it coming."
Jacob through his head back against the seat, the entire car filled with his booming laughter. When it finally quieted, he asked a question I'd been waiting over two hours to hear. "Can we stop somewhere? If I don't eat I'm gonna starve to death…"
"Yea, I'm pretty hungry too." I added for good measure. Jacob was always hungry; dad would never stop for that.
Just as I predicted he pulled out his phone and quickly got Carlisle on the phone. "Hey, we gotta pull off on the next exit." He paused. "No, I'm not gonna have him in my car alone! Well of course there's Bella but that's not exactly the reason he's here, is it. We've tried this, he'll just complain." He sighed in frustration. "We'll discuss it when we get Nessie something to eat." He hung up the phone and Jacob glared at the back of dad's seat.
Someone wanted me to ride in their car instead of the Volvo, which meant Jacob would be left with mom and dad… Sure it meant more room for me but it also meant that Jacob would be away from me and he didn't fare so well with that.
A few moments later, dad led our line of cars onto an exit ramp and into a good sized town. I spotted a small diner hidden between a Radio Shack and a Bed, Bath, and Beyond and dad pulled into the parking lot in front of it.
I pulled my legs off of Jacobs lap and quickly opened the door, practically flying out before the car could even fully stop.
Both men looked at me in alarm but I didn't care. I breathed in the fresh, rain filled air. Alice had planned our trip to coincide with the clouds. If it got sunny, we stayed in motels during the day and drove at night.
The rest of my family, and Jacob, filed out of their cars. Emmett's jeep pulled a huge U-Haul trailer thing that had most of our stuff. The rest had been delivered to our new home in advance.
Alice appeared at my side with a bright smile and hooked her arm with mine. "Come on, let's get you some food." She said cheerfully, dragging me into the diner.
She began to push tables together as everyone else walked in.
Esme smiled at me and gently led me to a seat and sat down next to me. I had a feeling the kept a chart of who got to sit with me when…
Jasper sat down on my other side and everyone else just took random seats.
The waitress stared from behind the counter in amazement before rushing to us to take our orders.
"How can I help you this afternoon?" She asked politely, trying not blush at the polite look on Carlisle's face.
"I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup please." They wouldn't let me drink blood anymore so they always got a kick out of it when I ordered the tomato soup.
"And I'll get three chicken subs." Jacob said, not really paying attention. The waitress's eyes widened a bit but move on.
"And you?" She asked Carlisle.
"Actually, the rest of us don't want anything, thank you." He said with a small smile.
"Oh… ok." She turned and walked back to the counter to give the order to the cook.
Esme turned in her seat to face me. "Nessie, how has the trip been so far?"
I scoffed. She knew the answer to that. "Cramped, as always."
Alice looked up from her purse. "You can join Jasper and I." She chirped happily. I should've known she was the one who wanted me…
"Or you could join me in the BMW" Esme added gently.
"NO!" Emmett whined loudly. "You can go with Carlisle, Rose can take the BMW- it's her car anyways- and Nessie can ride with me!"
"That sounds good." Rosalie commented. "Except that she should join me."
"I asked first." Alice glared, her voice menacing.
"No." Jacob said simply.
Everyone looked at him with challenging eyes.
"Shut up dog." Rosalie growled through gritted teeth.
"Sorry Jacob, more room does sound great right now. Plus you'll have more room too." Now I just had to choose who to ride with. Dad sighed in frustration. Now he'd have to listen to Jacob being grumpy and irritable.
Emmett and I would bring disaster so that was out and I just went shopping with Esme and Rose. Alice did ask first….
They all stared at me expectantly. "I'll go with Alice and Jasper." I said as the waitress placed my food in front of me.
Alice shook me awake again at around 11 o'clock. "We're here." She whispered gently.
Jasper followed dad's Volvo into an underground garage.
"How big is the apartment?" I asked as I waited for Jasper to stop the car.
"Carlisle bought the whole building and had it all renovated." Alice watched me stare out the window. The lights in the garage shone brightly. The only cars were ours.
I touched her cheek, showing her the last time she'd carried me so I wouldn't have to walk and before I knew it she had me in her arms outside the car. I buried my face into her cold marble shoulder and closed my eyes again.
"I'm gonna take her up to her room while you guys get everything settled." She said softly.
"I'll come with." Jacob's rough, tired voice came from somewhere beside us.
"No, you will go to your own room. As per Edward's request it is on the third floor- which you have entirely to yourself." Alice's voice rang with authority. "You really need to separate yourself from her. At least a little."
"What floor is she on?" Jacob asked; a tone of anger less then unnoticeable.
"She's on the fifth with Bella and Edward- not that it's really any of your business."
"Why can't I-" He started.
"Because she's getting older." I heard dad hiss into Jacob's ear. I knew I wasn't supposed to hear it, but my senses were just a little sharper then my family would like them to be.
I didn't understand the statement. I didn't feel any different for him then how I felt for Emmett or Jasper…
Alice set me onto a soft cushioned mattress and gently covered me with blankets. "Goodnight." She said before I heard the door lightly close and bring infinite darkness to the room.
I sighed and let myself drift back into sleep, momentarily letting myself forget the hell that awaited me the next day.
I cold hand touched my face and my eyes fluttered open. Mom smiled down at me. "Time to get up."
"Good morning mom." I sat up, taking the first real look at my room. It was extremely large- more space then I would ever need. The walls were a soft purple with a dark purple trimming and the carpet was black. The window was large but had heavy black curtains to keep any and all sun out.
"Nope, not mom." She reminded me.
I nodded. "Morning Bella." I brushed my hair back with my hand as she backed off so I could get up.
"All you clothes are in your closet. Hurry or we'll be late."
"Not if dad's driving." I muttered, stumbling to what I was sure was the closet.
"Not if who's driving?" She asked gently reprimanded.
"Edward. Not if Edward's driving." I corrected myself. She could hardly blame me after so many hours in a car and no day of rest. I was delirious. "Wait, we're in New York. Aren't we gonna take a cab or something?"
"Yea, like your dad or Jacob are gonna let you get in a cab!" She scoffed. I turned back and looked at her. "I mean Edward." She said quickly.
I laughed and opened the closet door. The size didn't shock me. I was Alice's Barbie doll; of course the closet was almost half the size of my room. It was the layout that confused me. There were cupboards and drawers everywhere.
"Well come on then." I said grudgingly. Alice appeared by my side with a smile. "Just make it fast and painless."
A/N: Yay! First chapter down! All first chapters suck, don't get on my case yet. I was gonna end it at her going to sleep but that's much too… just… over done… and I didn't want to get into the actual school thing yet because I still have to plan it out…
So REVIEW because you already took the time to read and what's another 5 seconds out of your life huh?
