Chapter 15: My Idiot Brother

Nessie's POV

I laid there in bed anxiously. Sleep evaded me no matter how hard I tried. I kept thinking about everything that happened that night. I have had way too many near death experiences recently to be able to sleep comfortably. As my father had so eloquently put it I was a danger magnet. I wish I had uncle Jasper here to calm me down.

Suddenly I heard a noise outside of my room. I closed my eyes and pretended that I was sleeping. I heard the door creak open slowly. I opened one eye just a tiny bit only to see it was just my brother.

"What are you doing?"

He froze on the spot and looked at me with wide eyes. Clearly shocked at having been caught. He didn't say anything.

"Are you looking for money again because I don't have any,"

"Vanessa please you don't understand. I need this money. I'll pay you back every cent. I swear it. I just need it,"

I rolled my eyes knowing very well he wouldn't keep that promise. "Why do you need money so badly that you have resorted to stealing?" I recalled the memory of walking in on my brother rummaging through my drawers looking for my cash.

"You wouldn't understand,"

"What would I not understand? Maybe I can help,"

"Vanessa there's a lot of things that you wouldn't understand about me," he didn't stop looking for money as he responded.

"Oh really? Try me. Hybrid," the words slipped out of my mouth before I could even register what I was saying. He froze. Then he turned around slowly to face me.

"What are you talking about?" He clearly wasn't expecting me to say that out loud. I sure as hell was not expecting myself to say it either.

"I mean that you're a hybrid. Half human...half vampire,"

"What are you talking about? Do you even realize how crazy you sound right now?" He tried to play it off but I could see right through his bluff.

"Oh please Chris don't even bother trying to hide it. I know the truth. I know that vampires are real and that you're half and half,"

"But how-"

"I am too,"

How the hell did we end up having this conversation? Well might as well get the truth out now.

"But? What? How?"

"Same way as you I suppose. Human mother. Vampire father,"

"But how did you find out?"

"The Cullens. I'm sure you've realized that they are vampires by now. Actually they're my real family. Edward is my father and he can read minds. Bella is my mother,"

"You found your real family? Wow. You're so lucky," For the first time that I could remember my brother showed an emotion other than anger. It was sadness. I suddenly realized that he, like me, had a story as to how he ended up like me. A hybrid in foster care.

"What happened to you?"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean where's your real family? How did you get separated from them?"

My brother didn't say anything for several minutes. So much time had passed that I didn't think he was going to say anything. Then he did something even more surprising. He sat beside me in my bed.

"My first memories of my family, and really my only memories, occurred while I was still inside my mother's womb. I could hear a lot of different voices. Both male and female voices. I remember my mother's the most,"

I could tell that this was getting harder for my brother. He stopped talking for a minute and I swore I could see tears in his eyes. I didn't know what to do or what to think.

"My mom loved me. I mean she really loved me. She would say it all the time. She would talk to me. She would even sing to me. Even though I was draining the life out of her. I didn't mean to though. I was too strong for her human body. I would often break her bones accidentally. Her ribs," he shuddered. "From what I could hear my family was concerned for my mother's health. They wanted her to get rid of me. She refused to listen though because she loved me so much. She wanted to have me. Then came the birth,"

Again he paused for a few minutes before continuing. "It was instinctual I think. I just knew when it was time to get out. I didn't really think about what I was doing. I started biting and clawing my way out. I was thinking about anything or then getting out. I could hear my mom screaming and I hated myself for causing her pain but this was the only way out. The first thing I saw was my father's angry face. He yanked me out of my mother's body and threw aside. I hit the floor and cried loudly. Nobody came to me though. The rest of my family wasn't there. I think they had gone hunting or something,"

His voice had started to crack. I myself felt an overwhelming sense of sadness and his story wasn't even over yet.

"My fathet worked hard to save my mother. I could still hear her heart beating as my fathef bit her over and over again. Then he glanced back at me and I saw anger in his eyes. I felt very scared when he grabbed me. I wasn't sure how far he ran before he stopped,"

My brother had started crying by now. I was shocked and had no idea what I was supposed to do or how I was supposed to react.

"I can still clearly remember exactly what my father said to me," he choked out. "He said you're nothing but a monster. A selfish little monster. My wife should have aborted you when she had the chance. She's not your mother. After what you did you don't have the honor of calling her that. If she survives this I will tell her that you died. I'll tell the whole family that you died. We are better off without you. I won't kill you as I don't want to get my hands dirty. I'll let the wolves take care of you instead,"

I was shocked by how cruel someone could be their to own child. No wonder my brother was so messed up. I was beyond shocked. I was mortified. My poor brother.

"Maybe you should try to find your family. I could help you,"

"My family wants nothing to do with me,"

I shook my head. "No your so-called 'father' doesn't want you. What about the rest of your family? Your mother? If she survived as a vampire then she has been lied to for years. Her own husband made her and the rest of your family believe that you were dead. Don't they deserve to know the truth? I can help you,"

"You would help me? I thought you hated me,"

"I don't you," I said. "You're an idiot whose obviously into drugs or something bad. Not to mention the fact that you got two sisters pregnant-"

"You know about that?!"

"Shh! Yes I know about that! What exactly are you planning on doing about that?"

"I don't know yet but I do know this. I will not be my father,"

"Good," I said. " anyway like I was saying. You are a complete idiot but you're my idiot. I care about you,"

"I care about you to Vanessa," he said. "One more thing you should know about me. My name is not Chris. It's Adam Coleman Jr. That's what my mom used to call me when she was pregnant with me. Though I loathe the Jr. part. What's your story Vanessa,"

"Well first off my name is not really Vanessa. It's Renesmee Carlie Cullen," I then launched into my story.
