ANOTHER LIE

CHAPTER ONE
ARRIVELS

No one could understand the joy I felt that day, the day the Cullen’s
transferred to my school.

It was like no other to see them walk into the canteen as though they
were the only people there.

Rosalie and Emmett were the first to enter they were talking to each
other looking deeply in to each others eyes as though the other was
more important then themselves. Alice and Jasper followed next.
Jasper was walking with Alice as though in a dance he span her
gracefully to their table. The next to enter were the most stunning,
Edward and Bella (Isabella) walked in and got about half way to the
table when suddenly they locked in a passionate embrace.

“Ok you two love birds break it up” spoke a voice behind them which
sounded like some one singing. It was of course Renesmee (Nessie)
the last of the Cullen’s and the only one eating so far. She was
gorgeous!

I watched as she effortlessly pulled the two away from each other and
took a bite out of the apple she held. They looked well and truly
embarrassed as a parent would be caught kissing in front of a child…
Strange why did I think of that? I stared at Renesmee thinking how
great it would be for me to be her boyfriend when suddenly two pairs
of topaz coloured eyes looked at me in one sudden movement.

I saw Renesmee reach up to Edward’s neck she placed her hand

there looking concerned his lips moved in something I couldn’t hear
and then Renesmee was looking at me the blush barely visible in her
cheeks. It went all the way up to her deep brown eyes such a lovely
colour they made me want to look in to them forever. As I stared I

1
had the faint awareness that my mouth was open so I moved my
hand under my chin just to be sure it wasn’t.

Edward was talking again, Bella nodded and looked at me again

before turning her gaze back to Edward I saw them nod then
continue walking Renesmee was stood there still looking at me.
“HELLO?! Anybody in there?” a voice asked beside me. I felt a
sharp jab in my ribs, ouch, causing me to look away from Renesmee
who was slowly making her way in this direction.

“What?” I asked startled. I turned to look and my mate beside me

“sorry dude I spaced out.” I told him

“S’Ok” David said with a shrug, “Anyway as I was saying do you

want to come to the party at mine next week?” he asked.

“What day is it?” I asked genuinely interested I hardly ever go to

parties.

“The 16th the only day my parents aren’t in town.” he told me glumly.
We all knew about his over dramatic parents. They wouldn’t let him
do anything fun at all!

“Sorry dude! I’ll have to bail I have to take Sonya to the cinema she
wants’ to go see ink heart.” I explained.

“Excuse me?” an angelic voice asked. I knew who it was straight

away. I turned in slow motion.

“Yes” one of the girls on the table answered, “what do you want?”

“Erm I was just wondering if this young man would like to come sit
with me and my family?” she asked looking straight into my eyes.

“Me?” I asked the words barely a whisper. Was this true the
beautiful new girl wanted to get to know me?!

“Who else?” she answered. Then she took my hand and started
walking toward the table where the Cullen’s were sat. They were all
looking at each other till they heard us approaching then they all
turned toward us.
The first thing I noticed about them was that they were all
undeniably beautiful and all had the same topaz coloured eyes except

2
Renesmee. I built up the courage to tell them who I was. Still
mesmerised by the eyes that were looking at us.

“Hi…” I started

“Hey everyone this is Jonathan” she said introducing me with ease.

Wait a sec how the hell did she know my name!? I turned to here a
little shocked but then I realised she was smiling at me and as soon as
I saw that all my fears flew out of my head. I felt like I was sinking.

“Ahhahahaha” I felt everyone turned to where the sound was coming

from. It was Edward he was laughing so hard that he almost fell out
of his chair. “He,” he said pointing to me, “doesn’t even know what
he is!" At this point he started laughing again. I looked at him
confusion in my eyes noticing that everyone else did to.

“Seriously?!” I heard to my left, Bella, she sat there disbelieving,

“No! Really? Wow! I can’t believe it!” she just sat there looking
shocked.

“NOOOOO!” Some one screeched not loud enough for anyone but
the ones stood at the table to hear, “I can’t see him at all this cant be
true!” I realised it was Alice and that she was sat there looking a bit
out of it jasper holding her hand asking her something I couldn’t
hear.

“I think we should take this somewhere else” Bella said, “It would be
much easier to explain, I should think” with that everyone at the
table rose and started to drift toward the door.

I looked after them startled at this sudden choice, when I felt

something warm in my hand as I watched them dump there uneaten
food in the bin.

“Don’t worry they get a bit confusing but you get used to it after a
while” she told me seeing the bewildered expression on my face,
“don’t worry were not going to eat you!” after a while?! just how
long were they planning on talking to me?

I was walking behind them now Rosalie and Emmett were leading
with Alice and Jasper behind then Bella and Edward just like the
way they entered. I heard wolf whistles, knowing who it would be, I

3
turned to see David stood there waving to me. I smiled at him hoping
my confusion didn’t show in my eyes.

“Where are we going?” I asked when I thought I had built up enough

courage. We were heading towards the car park at the front of the
school.

“My house of course!” Renesmee said six pairs of eyes turned to look
at her, “fine then ‘our house’ happy!” she said glaring at them. They
all turned around again and started walking towards the car park.

I wonder if there going to kidnap me? Edward laughed his loud

laugh making me jump. Then Bella laughed I didn’t get the joke but
oh well. That was when I saw what car we were heading towards the
red Ferrari F430 and the silver S60R Volvo. I stopped dead, I could
feel Renesmee tugging on my arm but it did nothing to me all I saw
was the cars.

“We’re riding in them?” I asked still looking at them I could see

everything the Volvo looked like a 224 kW Engine 305 Ps and 300 hp.
The Ferrari looked like a 360.4 kW (483 hp) 4.3 L V8o. As soon as I
looked at the cars I almost fainted I know wimpy for a boy! But they
were so nice! I broke my hand free of Renesmee’s and ran to the car I
was there in about one and a half seconds I was there before Rosalie
and Emmett, who looked startled as I ran past them.

“Sweet!” I shouted as I approached the Ferrier, I could feel everyone

stop dead behind me but I didn’t care, “is this your car?” I asked
looking it up and down.

“Yes” Bella answered me a shocked expression appearing on her face,

“one thing before we go would you like to explain how you got to the
car that fast?” her voice sounded weird on fast but I was to taken in
by the car to notice anything else.

“Oh that…” I said turning to face her they were all lined up behind
me looking at me, “it’s easy. I’m the fastest runner in the school, I
run the 100m in three seconds” I explained feeling a little
uncomfortable with 7 pairs of eyes staring at me like they could see in
to the back of my head.

Renesmee laughed a joy full laugh something that made my heart

flutter, something that I enjoyed.

4
“I see what you mean Momma” she said, ‘gasp’ the six of them
turned to look at her as soon as she said it. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean
to it just slipped out I know I know you told me to be careful and I
was its just that he makes me so happy that it just slipped out!” she
pleaded.

“I know darling it’s hard for you” Bella said walking up to her and
hugging her then still hugging Renesmee who looked like she was
about to cry, “you wont say anything will you?” she shot a desperate
look at me and carried on, “we’ll tell you everything once were back
at the house its not safe here” she gestured over her shoulder.

I saw about half of the school gathered at the edge of the car park, to
see what was going on, that was all it took I nodded once.

As soon as I was in the car it peeled off going faster than the speed
limit I was sure but I didn’t care I was getting to ride in a Ferrari
F430! And Renesmee had chosen to sit with me rather than go in the
Volvo with Edward (I’d learnt that he was her dad), Rosalie, Emmett
and jasper.

“Are you sure?” Alice asked Bella, “I mean I know I can’t see him
and everything but to tell him something like this don’t you think it’s
a bit dangerous?” she said casting me a quick backwards glance.

“Yes I am Alice” she said firmly but with a slight hint of laughter in
here voice, “I know you can’t see him but I know what he’s capable
of my shield told me that! Just trust me!” Shield? I wonder what the
hell they were talking about but it didn’t bother me as I thought it
would do. I was to busy watching where we were going when I
realized.

“STOP!” I screamed. The car stopped automatically as soon as the

car had completely stopped everyone turned to look at me, “I can’t
go anywhere yet” I told them.

“Why?” Alice and Bella asked in unison. There confusion showing on

there faces.

“I need to get someone,” I told them reaching for the door, “I’ll be
right back” and with that I sped off looking behind me as the silver
Volvo pulled up behind the Ferrari. I knew that they would be

5
wondering what was going on but I didn’t have time to explained. I
carried on running hoping I would make it on time.

I was aware of someone behind me but I didn’t have time to turn

around to see who it was I had about five minutes. I could see the
entrance ahead of me know it was just about to open I was there on
time thank god.

“J.J.!” I heard a little cry as I was running up. Then I saw her,
Sonya, running towards me her little bag swinging at her side. I
opened my arms for her she gladly jumped into them burying her
face into my neck.

“Heyy that tickles!” I told her. “What brought on this then?” my

question was soon answered.

“Who’s this then?” a familiar voice asked, I turned and sure enough
there was Renesmee stood behind me like it was the most natural
thing in the entire world. I wondered if she was the person who had
been behind me.

“Err… it’s my little sister,” I told her, “Her names Sonya, say hello to
Renesmee” the last part I said to Sonya who still had her face buried
in my neck. I realized that it was strange for her to not want to speak
to someone, maybe she was just being shy! I mean as soon as she met
my friends from school she couldn’t stop talking, maybe it was just
something to do with the fact that she was a girl and there was no one
else with me? Who knows!

“Hello Sonya my names Renesmee” she said holding her hand out
towards Sonya. Sonya took one quick look and then shoved her head
back in to my neck.

“Ok, Ok I think I get it” I told her stroking her long flame red hair,
“want me to take you home?” I asked. I felt her move her head up
and down. “Ok then lets go”

“Wait” she said, “are we running or going in your car?” she asked
me finally looking in to my eyes. I stared in to her big green eyes and
remembered that I had left my car at school. Damn.

“We’re running” Curiosity passed through her eyes, “I left my car at

school!” I explained knowing she would understand.

6
“Silly Bwuderr!” she told me tapping my nose. I laughed.

“Hold on tight” I warned her. Then I set off speeding down the road
Sonya had her head buried in my neck and I had Renesmee hot on
my heels. I felt the wind on my cheeks and felt happy almost ecstatic
but I knew this would soon end the happy feeling that is as soon as I
got her home.

“Bwuderr sing to me” A tiny voice asked. I looked down knowing I

wouldn’t bump into anything. There wasn’t anything to bump into
on this road.

“Ok what song do you want?” I asked her knowing what it would be.
Her favorite the one her mum used to sing to her back when
everything was happy.

“Can you sing that one that mummy used to sing to me? Dream
Fairy?” she asked me looking up for the first time since we had
started running.

“Yes I will but you have to promise you wont cry like usual” I warned
her, she nodded so I began to sing.

“A little fairy comes at night,

Her eyes are blue,
Her hair is brown,
With silver spots upon her wings,
And from the moon she flutters down.
She has a little silver wand,
And when a good child goes to bed,
She waves her hand from right to left,
And makes a circle round its head.
And then it dreams of pleasant things,
Of fountains filled with fairy fish,
And trees that bear delicious fruit,
And bow their branches at a wish.”

I sang softly at first and then louder as we got further and further
away from the pre-school. I looked down at Sonya she was fast
asleep. I sighed then remembered Renesmee at my side and hoped
she hadn’t heard me.

7
“You know for brother and sister you two don’t look anything alike”
she told me her voice matter of fact. I looked at her but her eyes were
locked on Sonya. I slowed down and as though she could read my
thoughts Renesmee did to.

“To tell you the truth we’re not” I started then stopped as I saw the
look of shock on her face but she just nodded once so I carried on,
“my mum died just after giving birth to me and my father
disappeared before I was born” I told her with a shrug, “So my
mum’s sister, her mum, took me in it caused a lot of problems with
her and her husband as when I got to 15 I just stopped growing no
rhyme no reason I just stopped” I told her with another shrug.
Renesmee stopped then just stood there on the pavement frozen to
the spot her face dumb-found nothing but a gasp escaping her lungs.

I wanted to reach out and stroke her long bronze coloured hair.
Caress her pale white skin on her cheek flushed red with what she
had just heard. I wanted to take her in to my arms and show her that
everything is all right but I couldn’t. Number one I had Sonya in my
arms and number two we were stood right in front of my Auntie’s
house.

“Errmmm ill be right back” I told Renesmee looking towards the

house and back to her hoping she would get it.

“Oh” she gasped realising what I meant, “Oh… could I come in with
you?” she asked.

I nodded and with that we started up the stone path towards the
front doors. I held Sonya with my left arm and reached into my
pocket and pulled out a set of keys, Renesmee still following behind, I
put the key in the door and opened the double doors which were
brown with glass in the middle my Auntie Joyce had, had them
stained so as not to let anyone see in from the outside.

The thing I liked about my Aunties house was that it didn’t have an
upstairs it was one level and long it went very far out and the living
room connected to the dining room on my left which connected to the
kitchen which was through the door in the dining room. On my right
was the door that led to my aunty and uncles room, I wasn’t allowed
in there, and then further down was the door to Sonya’s room.

8
I looked at Renesmee who was stood behind me sucking it all in. “Go
look around if you want to” I told her, “just don’t go in that room” I
added pointing to my aunties room. I laughed at the confused
expression on her face. Which made her glare at me but she started
laughing to. Then I made my way to Sonya’s room as Renesmee went
and sat on the sofa in the living room.
I liked Sonya’s room it was painted baby pink with a baby blue
ceiling my colour scheme I knew her taste well. I laughed softly to
myself as I moved the netting around the bed pulled back the quilt
and placed Sonya in the bed I pulled the quilt back over her and
tucked her in pausing only to kiss her head then I drew the curtains
and walked out shutting her door behind me.

I froze as I stepped into the wide hall, Renesmee was still sat on the
sofa staring in to space, and heard a car pulling up on the drive. I
could tell whose car it was straight away. It was uncle jack and as I
listened I realised that he was drunk and had brought friends.

“Renesmee” I whispered thinking she would hear me, “get Sonya and
get out use the back door” I said as soon as I said her name she was
at my side.

“Why John? What’s wrong?” she asked me shock showing clear on

her face. “Is something wrong?” she carried on.

“Not yet but if you and Sonya don’t get out of here well…” I drifted
off looking towards the door. I started getting twitchy as I heard the
footsteps get closer I knew what was coming and I didn’t want Sonya
in the house when it happened. “Please don’t ask know I’ll tell you
later just please get Sonya and get out of here go to the park we
passed on the way here and I’ll meet you there” I said as I took her
shoulders and looked pleadingly into her eyes. She studied me for a
moment, nodded once and was gone. I heard the back door close and
was glad they were gone. Then the front door opened. I braced for
the worst. I knew what was coming. But no-one else needed to know
that.

The front door opened.

Three drunk men walked in.

They saw me stood there crouched defensively teeth showing.

9
They laughed but I saw the fear in their eyes.

“Go away stupid boy!” one yelled.

I hissed. He backed up.

“John it doesn’t have to be like this” my uncle said. I hissed again.

He smashed the bottle he held in his hand off the wall, little shards of
glass shattering on the floor. I took one step forward a growl coming
from my throat he backed up the broken bottle in front of him, “get
going your not wanted here orphan!” he spat the last words out
thinking it would make me flinch but I made no move I just stood
there looking at him.

“If I was an orphan, which I’m not, that would mean both my
parents were dead” I told him my voice barely hear able the shock
showed on his face, “which you and I both know is not true is it?” I
half asked half told him. I knew and he knew that he was the reason
for my father’s disappearance.

That my mother had died because my father, a doctor, suspected that

my mum might have problems giving birth to me. He was going to
help until my uncle had driven him away saying that it was his fault
that he hadn’t been able to have his way with my mother.

You see my uncle, he wasn’t my uncle till he married my mothers

sister, had wanted my mother and when she chose my father over him
he took it really bad! That was a lot of strain on my mum who was
pregnant with me at the time. That pushed her over the edge she
started to lose it after she heard what had happened to my father. My
mother never even got to hold me in my arms because the day before
my birth my uncle had tried to kill her saying he didn’t want my
fathers demon spawn in this world and when the sudden plummet of
my mothers heart rate had attracted the attention of the doctors.

It was too late for her but they could still save me. The reason my
birthday is on the 11th of February and not the 10th is because of the
fact that my uncle couldn’t stand me, my mother or my father for
that matter. This is all information I got off my aunt no- one else
would tell me what happened to my parents not even the hospital I’d
been born at would tell me how she died.

10
“Why don’t you just get the hell out of my house?” He spat moving
towards the living room where his two friends now were. He looked
at me with disgust about the same amount as I was looking at him.

“Firstly it’s not your house” I told him, seeing his face angry was
pleasant for me, “you didn’t buy it you don’t pay to help keep it my
aunt does all of that, whilst you spend all your money on booze and
secondly I would gladly oblige! I can’t spend another minute in this
stinking hell hole with you!” I told him. Then when I knew it was safe
enough for me to move without being attacked I stood up from my
defensive pose and walked to the cupboard at the end of the hall.
Took one blanket out, for Sonya, and was on my way out of the front
door faster than he could blink.

“Sayonara” I shouted over my shoulder loud enough for him to hear.

I could feel the confused expression on his face and that made me
start smiling to myself I had won.

At least for the moment anyway.

On that Note I headed toward the park.

Toward Renesmee and Sonya.

Toward my future.

Towards a new way of life.

CHAPTER TWO
FAMILY

I reached the park in no time. I scanned it nervously hoping

Renesmee had known where I was talking about and if she would be
here. When I saw her sitting on one of the bench’s on the other side of
the park I sighed with relief. As soon as I did she looked up from

11
where she was sitting her eyes wandered for about half a second
before they settled on me. She smiled and waved saying something to
the bundle in her arms. I smiled back and made my way towards her
too edgy to go round the play ground I just walked straight through.

I had the blanket draped over one arm as I moved swiftly not
stopping for anything I just had to get to Sonya and make sure she
was ok before anything else happened. I got to the bench as soon as I
did Renesmee held out Sonya to me who was still fast asleep I was
grateful for that as soon as she was in my arms I felt my self settle a
little.

“What happened?” Renesmee asked me carefully picking out her

words. I could see unease in her eyes but it wasn’t something I could
talk about here. Not in front of so many people. I shook my head
softly as I wrapped the blanket round Sonya who was sleeping
heavily.

“Not here” I said gesturing to the people around us. That’s all it took.
She nodded her head once.

“To my house then?” she asked and before I could answer she had
my hand in hers and we were moving swiftly towards the edge of
town, “do you feel like running? Its just that we would get there
faster and by know everyone’s probably really worried about me not
being home yet” she asked me.

“Sure” I answered then decided to add, “Running will take my mind

off things” she nodded and dropped my hand which I used to clutch
Sonya closer to my chest. “Lead the way” I told her gesturing that
she should start moving. She ran fast for her size. I could keep up but
I just wanted to stop and watch her run it was mesmerizing. Seeing
her hair streak out behind her, hers eyes totally focused on where she
was going but kept looking back over her shoulder every few seconds
to make sure I was still behind her. Her brown eyes searching for
something in my face to tell her that something wasn’t right,
something there that would bother me, something she would stop for
as soon as she saw it. It was… hmmm what the word for it…
accelerating. The rush of the wind as I ran through it, it was like
nothing I’d felt before, the shock as I realized I could see everything
every speck. There was something about Renesmee… something that
brought out the best in me. I loved it! I never wanted it to end.

12
“we’re close know” Renesmee spoke her voice, which brought me so
much joy, was barely a whisper, “when we get to the house you’ll
have to wait outside for a minute” she paused, “so I can tell them
about Sonya” I nodded the rest of her family wouldn’t be expecting
another guest, let alone one that was asleep.

“Do you want me to wake her up and tell her what’s going on?” I
asked knowing I would probably wake her up anyway.

“It's your choice but if she wakes up in my house she might get a bit
scared!” she added laughing her laughter sounded like music to my
ears, “You know waking up somewhere she doesn’t know”

“Ok while you’re inside I’ll tell her” I said as we approached a house.
I took one look and was breath less.

The house was really, really breathtaking. It was really modern and
very open. It was about 4 stories high and most of the walls, that I
could see, had long glass windows in the walls next to the windows
were made of wood the slope on my left lead to three garage doors,
they must all have there own cars, which were open. I could see 6
different cars through the open doors but I was sure there would be
more where I couldn’t see. The walls which were next to the wood
were painted white. The house felt very open and homely. I just stood
there taking it all in.

“I’m going in I’ll be back out in a minute” Renesmee told me. I

nodded in response not trusting myself with words. I watched
Renesmee walk up to the front door, which was also made of glass,
and shut it gently behind her.

“Sonya” I whispered gently shaking her, “Sonya rise and shine!” I

said hoping it would work. I saw her stir in my arms. “Come on
Sonya that’s it wake up” I said again

“Errrhhhh…” Sonya said stretching awake, “what is it Bwuderr?”

she asked.

“Your not at home Sonya” I told her showing her where we were,
“we’re at my friends house.”

“Did Daddy come home drunk again?” she asked. That’s the only
reason she’s ever at mine or my friends because of her dad, my uncle,

13
and his friends. I nodded once and she understood. “Is this that girls
house?” I looked at her confused, “the one who came with you to pick
me up”

“Oh you mean Renesmee” I answered she nodded, “yes this is her
house. I started to take the blanket form around her and then I set
her on the floor. She looked up at me with her green eyes, “It’s not
going to set a very good example if your asleep when we walk in to
someone’s house is it” I told her eyebrows arched.

“Yeah I guess your right Bwuderr” she answered nodding her head,
she was very smart for her age, “I can still hold you hand though cant
I?” she asked hand out stretched in front of her. I nodded and took
her hand. As soon as I did Renesmee walked out of the house and
beckoned us to her.

“Let’s go!” I told Sonya, she smiled at me showing a set of white

teeth, then we headed toward the house. As I got to the door and
looked in side I almost stopped breathing. It was the home I’d all
ways dreamed off. The living room stretched all the way to the back
wall there was a flat screen on one wall facing an arch which leads to
the kitchen. In the far end of the living room near the windows at the
back was a black grand piano.

“Do you play?” I asked Renesmee, she followed my line of sight.

“No but my mum and dad do” she told me shaking her head, “do you
play?” she asked.

I nodded still looking at the piano.

“Bwuderr are you going to play?” Sonya asked me.

“No” I told her, finally tearing my eyes away from the piano to look
at her, “It’s not my piano ill play when we get back to my flat” I told
her. The piano in my house isn’t as grand as this one but it played
well and that was all I wanted. I turned back to look at the piano.

“Do you want to play it?” Renesmee asked me. I nodded, “Then go
ahead and have a go no one will mind… unless you play really badly
that is!” she laughed as she said this.

14
“Are you serious!” I said looking at her, she nodded “I can have a
go?” I asked she nodded again, giving me a look that said ‘just go
ahead all ready!’ “Thanks!” I told her letting go of Sonya’s hand and
running to the piano. I jumped down the steps around the piano
which made it look a bit like a coliseum. I slowed down when I got to
the piano. I walked round the side of it tracing my hand over the
wood. “Was this made in 1965?” I asked Renesmee looking up only to
make sure I wasn’t talking to my self.
“Yeah it is,” she said sitting down on one of the steps near the top of
the piano, “How did you guess that?” she asked. Sonya walked down
the steps towards the stool.

“I didn’t I thought it was, from the wood” I told her finishing my

walk round the piano and sitting on the stool ready to play. “My
grandpa’ used to have one like it, so I was just wondering if it was” I
told her shrugging. Sonya was stood next to it her hands opening and
closing on thin air. I laughed, “Want to sit here?” I asked her, she
nodded so I hooked her under the arms and pulled her on to the stool
next to me. I sat there wondering what song I would play when I
heard a voice in my ear.

“That’s a really beautiful song” the voice whispered. I didn’t

recognise who it was so I turned to look. That was when I saw that
most of the Cullen’s were sat around Renesmee watching me sit there
in thought.

“Err… thanks but I haven’t played anything yet,” I whispered

looking down, ashamed, I didn’t even know what to play yet!

“Why don’t you play the one you played for your aunt’s birthday last
year?” Alice said to me, “It would be a really good choice”

“Wait a sec…” I said as I turned to play, “how did you know about
that?” I asked her. Looking her strait in the eyes, she shrugged. I
didn’t ask any more about it I just played. I played a song I had
written my self for my aunt’s birthday which I had hoped would take
her mind off all the things that had happened in her life. She had
liked it a lot and so I recorded it for her and gave it to her as an extra
gift. As I played I could feel everyone behind me become very still. I
wondered why but I was too lost in my song to ask, I could feel Sonya
leaning against me. I looked at her for a few seconds and realised she
had fell asleep again. I sighed as I realised the song was coming to an
end.

15
“That was a really pretty song” I heard the catch in there voice as
they spoke I turned to see who it was. There were more people now. I
guessed that they were Dr. Cullen (Carlisle) and his wife Esme. They
were both very beautiful, and they both had the same eerie topaz eyes
as the rest of them but other than that they looked very young for
there age. I remembered what I heard about Esme not being able to
have children and that’s why her and her husband had adopted seven
teenagers. From what had been told the school I knew that Edward,
Bella and Renesmee were related (little did everyone else know that
Renesmee was there daughter) and Rosalie and Jasper were twins
and that they had chosen to keep there second name ‘hale’ when they
were adopted. That I also knew was a lie the only people who were
related is Edward, Bella and Renesmee. Father, Mother and
Daughter. I had been trying to figure out this math in my head ever
since I had found out but so far the answer had avoided me.

“Thanks” I said, knowing who ever said it would understand that I

didn’t know who they were. Then I remembered something I knew I
shouldn’t ever forget, “what time is it?” I asked.

“Its half four” Carlisle said, “why?” he asked. I looked at him. Half
four! Crap! I needed to get to my truck soon. Damn! Id left that a
school. Carlisle saw my expression, Edward was sat there laughing
silently to his self, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing its just I’ve left something important in my tuck and I need
it” I said not able to keep the edge off my voice as I spoke. I hope he
wouldn’t pick up on it but he did. I could see it in his eyes as he
looked over me once then looked away again wondering what I was
talking about. “Soon” I continued gravely.

Now everyone’s eyes were on me to see what I meant. I sighed. It’s

hard to explain to people about it so I thought over what I would say
first.

“I have a problem” a very big one, “and I need to take some medicine
for it every four hours or else it gets really out of hand”

“Has some thing bad ever happened before?” the one called Rosalie
asked.

“Yes once,” I replied gravely.
