A New Family(A Twilight Fanfic)

Chapter 16

One afternoon, Esme was in the kitchen, making lunch for Renesmee. Just then, the phone rang. Esme picked it up and answered it. "Hello?" She answered.

"Hello. Is this Mrs. Cullen?" A woman asked.

"It is." Esme said.

"This is Diane Lawrence, the guidance counselor at the high school." The woman said.

"What can I do for you?" Esme asked.

"I just wanted to talk to you about Macy." The woman said. "Could you and your husband come in this afternoon to meet with me?"

"Yes." Esme said.

"Great. I'll see you later this afternoon." The woman said before hanging up.

"Who was that?" Rosalie asked, walking into the kitchen.

"The school counselor at the high school." Esme answered.

"What did she want?" Rosalie asked.

"She wants me and Carlisle to meet with her, this afternoon, to talk about Macy." Esme replied. Rosalie nodded. "Could you finish making Renesmee's lunch?" Esme asked. "I'm going to call Carlisle."

"Yeah. Sure." Rosalie said. Esme grabbed her phone and walked out of the room. She dialed Carlisle's number.

"Hello love." He greeted her.

"Hey." Esme said.

"What do you need?" Carlisle asked.

"The school counselor called. She wants to meet with us to talk about Macy." Esme said. "Are you able to take off work for a little bit this afternoon?"

"Yeah. Shouldn't be a problem." Carlisle said.

"Ok. I'll see you later." Esme said.

"Bye." Carlisle said. Esme hung up the phone.

Later that afternoon, Esme pulled up in front of the school. She saw Carlisle pulled up as well. They walked into the school and went into the administration office. "Can I help you two with something?" A secretary asked.

"We're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen." Carlisle said. "We're here to see Mrs. Lawerence."

"Oh yes." The secretary said. "I'll let her know you're here." The secretary walked into an office and came back out a second later. "You guys can go in." The secretary said.

"Thank you." Esme said. They walked into the office. A woman stood up and went over to them.

"Hello." Diane greeted them, shaking both their hands.

"Hi." Esme said.

"Thank you for coming in." Diane said. She looked at Carlisle. "I'm sure you have a busy schedule, so I appreciate you both being able to come in."

"Of course." Carlisle said.

"So, you wanted to talk to us about Macy?" Esme asked.

"Yes." Diane said as they all sat down.

"Is something wrong?" Esme asked.

"Some of her teachers have concerns." Diane said. "Her grades have been slipping, her teachers have noticed that she's been falling asleep in class and hasn't been talking. And the fact that she's missed a lot of school lately."

"The past two months have been rough for her." Carlisle said.

"How did she end up in your guys care?" Diane asked. "What happened to her father?"
