"Carlisle," Edward spoke into the phone with a nervous tone, "is everything alright?" I was about to answer his question and tell him everything was ok but how can I tell him everything was ok when his daughter is in such emotional distress.

"We have many things to discuss with the family so I was hoping the family and you could come home early from the hunting trip?" I said in a calming tone so as not to worry him even more but my attempt had failed.

"What? Why? What is wrong? Is there something wrong with Nessie?" his tone of voice was panicked now.

"Edward, this conversation has to wait till we are face to face and with the rest of the family" it sounded like he was going to object but I heard someone, maybe Bella, tell him to just hang up so they could start going home. "Fine Carlisle, we'll be there soon" he spoke before the line went dead. I ran my hand through my hair after making the call knowing the next one would be to my good friend and psychiatrist, Logan Caldwell.

I sighed and put my head in my hands, massaging my temples! I still couldn't wrap my mind around it, how could Nessie do such a thing, she must have been in such distress and she held it all in. It must have felt like the world was weighing on her weak 16 year old shoulders. I sigh stopping my train of thought and pick up the phone dialing the nine digit number; Logan worked today so I'm sure he was at his office.

"Dr. Caldwell's office, how may I be of assistance to you today?"

"Logan, this is Carlisle Cullen" I said tersely.

"Carlisle" he greeted me, "how are you my old friend?"

"I've been good but I'm calling because I need a favor" I paused wondering how to phrase this to him.

"Well, you've done so much for me so whatever it is, consider it done!" he spoke.

"I have a new patient for you"

"Oh?" he said, curiosity danced in his voice, "who is it?"

"Actually it's my granddaughter, she confessed to me today that she suffers from self-mutilation and I'm at a loss of how to help her so I thought that maybe you could be of some help"

"Of course, I'd be honored to help! Has she given you any information yet? Just to see what I am working with here?"

"Yes" I answer thinking about what she told me, "She has been self-mutilating for 2 years now. She is bullied at school and there are terrible rumors spread about her. People have also told her that she should kill herself. I'm sure there is more that she isn't telling us but that is all she told me."

"I see" he says and I can hear the pen scribbling on the paper on the other end, "and have you seen her scars, are they deep?"

"Well they vary-" I paused mid-sentence as I smelled blood in the air with my vampire senses, "Logan, I'll have to call you back, I smell blood from Renessmee's room!"

"Ok! And Carlisle, it is very important that you don't take away sharp objects from her, that shows that you don't trust her and she's been doing it for so long, if she really wanted to cut she will find a way, just watch her and make sure you tell her you are there to listen and most importantly- DO NOT OVER REACT OR YELL OR SCREAM AT HER!"

"Ok! Thanks Logan!" I hung up after that running to Nessie's room. The smell of blood becoming more evident in the air, I push open the door and find Nessie with a bleeding cut but no sharp objects were anywhere near by, she probably hid it when she heard me coming.

"I'm sorry Carlisle, I know it's a sad excuse and not a very good one but that is all I have left to say!" tears streaming down her face.

I ran over to the bathroom and grabbed a hand towel running it under water and going back to Nessie, I applied pressure to the cut and thankfully enough it stopped, the cut wasn't very deep and I was just thankful that it wasn't worse. Nessie sat in silence looking at her arm as I kept examining the scar.

"You think I'm crazy, don't you?" she asked in almost a whisper, I wasn't even sure if it was meant for me to hear.

"No Sweetheart, not at all! You aren't crazy, you are in deep emotional distress and you dealt with it the best way you thought possible but you aren't crazy by any means."

"I'm so sorry Carlisle; I don't want to be like this! I want to be a normal person, I never meant for any of this to happen. I'm so sorry…" she said with shame oozing in her voice.

"Well, that is why we have resources available; you aren't the only one suffering from this. I have seen full grown people who use to suffer from this and have become very successful and content people. It's all a matter of getting the right type of treatment and wanting to recover."

She stayed silent after that but the silence was quickly broken when I said "let's go to my office so that I can bandage this cut, it's fairly deep but not deep enough to need stiches." This seemed to make her flinch, I quickly picked up on the fact that she didn't like that I said the cut was deep. As she and I walked to my office in more silence she sat on the couch and waited while I dug up some bandages and medical tape. I pulled my chair over to her and began bandaging her arm. She kept silent for a while and I could tell by the way she was quiet that she was in deep thought about something.

"What's on your mind, Sweetie?" I asked once I was done.

She lifted her eyes to look at me and then quickly back at the floor, "nothing, I'm fine. Thank you for bandaging my arm" she was about to get up from the couch but I grabbed her hand and gently pulled her back down. I took her chin gently in my hand to make her look at me, "darling, please tell me what is on your mind. I want to help as much as I can" I spoke pleadingly.

"I've been thinking about what I'm going to say to the family when you tell them…" she spoke in a silent whisper.

I sighed and tapped her chin, wanting her eyes to avert to mine, "Renessmee, whatever you choose to say will be fine! The family will not be upset with you, I promise you! And since we are on the topic of the family, they are on their way home. They should be here around five o' clock in the evening."

She nodded her head in silence, obviously lost in her thoughts once more. "Tell you what, why don't I clean up here and then we will go downstairs and watch a movie- any movie of your choice." I said smiling at her.

"Ok, I'll be waiting downstairs then" she said hopping off the couch.

After that we spent the remainder of the afternoon watching a comedy on the couch but half-way through the movie Renessmee ended up falling asleep and after covering her with a blanket, I turned off the DVD player and just sat there running my hands through my granddaughters curls. Now that she was asleep, I had time to think.

This was going to be a long journey of recovery for her but I had no doubt that she could do it, she was a strong girl! I briefly remember when she was first born and was only two days old, she always smiled and laughed, I remember thinking that I never wanted any one to take that smile away from her! She deserved to smile and be happy and not just pretend smile like I'm assuming she has been doing the last 2 years but I mean a genuine laugh and happiness. I knew Logan would work with her but I also knew that Renessmee has an anxiety about talking to people, especially guys who are the majority of her tormentors at school, the girls she refers to just start the rumors. I saw her hand twitch and it was the hand I had just bandaged, I knew it must be stinging but she has done this for so long she probably is use to it. That shivers down my spine, to think that poor Renessmee is accustomed to pain just made my heart constrict with sorrow for her.

My thoughts were interrupted by the faint chattering of Alice's high-pitched voice, the family was near, maybe a little more than half a mile away and it wasn't long till I could smell Esme's floral scent and not long after I heard her walk through the door followed by the rest of the family. I put my finger to my lips telling them to be quiet, I lifted Nessie's head gently so as not to wake her and laid her head back down onto a pillow. I told everyone to follow me to my office and once we were all situated I began.

"Thank you for coming home early from the hunting trip, Renessmee has told me some things about what has been going on with her and I can't say much because Nessie wanted to be in the room when we all spoke but from now on Nessie will need our support more than ever!"

"Carlisle" Edward of course was the first to interrupt, "this is absurd! Alice obviously knows what is going on because in head for the last four hours has been revolved around translating all of Shakespeare's plays into Italian and now your thoughts are in Italian too! Please tell me what is wrong with my little girl!" At the end I could tell he was desperate to know already.

"I know you're frustrated Edward but-" I was once again interrupted but this time not by Edward or anyone in the family but by an ear splitting yell that could only belong to Renessmee! Edward was the first one out of the room, followed by Bella and then the rest of the family. Downstairs Edward and Bella were trying to wake up Renessmee from the nightmare she was having and I told everyone to stay back so that she wouldn't feel overwhelmed when she woke up.

Edward's Point of View

I saw my daughter nightmare through her head and she felt so alone, she was in the dark by herself and she kept walking through the house calling for anyone, Jacob, Emmett, Rose, Alice, Bella and I but every room she kept looking in was empty. She felt abandon.

"Honey, please wake up!" I pleaded with her as Bella ran her hand through her locks and finally when I touched her cheek she jumped up, her little heart racing.

"Daddy!" she all but yelled pulling her into my chest I hugged her.

"Shhh….darling, its fine" I told her trying to calm her down but she kept gripping my shirt wanting to hold on tighter and tighter. "Shhhh…calm down honey, everything's fine, it was just a dream!" I looked at Jasper pleading to calm her down and very quickly I felt her calm down. She pulled away and I wiped away the remainder of her tears, "there they are" I spoke looking into her beautiful eyes. She smiled and blushed, looking down at the floor.

"Nessie, do you want to tell us about the dream?" Bella chimed in after taking a seat next to Nessie. She looked at Carlisle and that's when he started to talk.

Carlisle's Point of View

"Everyone, why don't you take a seat so we can discuss this" I spoke and everyone took a seat waiting for me to continue, "Nessie came to my office this morning wanting to tell me something and she has confessed to me that for the last two years she has been in very deep emotional distress so much that she actually began self-mutilation" there I said it, it was out!

The entire room was in shocked and Edward was the first to move, he turned his attention to Nessie, "is this…true?" his tone was shocked and she stood up and pulled up her sleeve revealing all of her scars and Edward and Bella gasped along with the rest of the family. She looked down as tears slid down her cheek. "I'm so sorry, Daddy! I'm so sorry! Please don't hate me…please don't…." she began to sob hysterically as Edward just stood there in shock. Esme came over and brought Nessie on to her lap while she rocked her, she just kept looking at Edward and mumbling, "He hates me, he hates me, he hates me…" I grabbed Edward by the arm and pulled him outside to the woods. Once we were far enough to not be seen by the family Edward began punching trees and snapping their bark into two!

"Son, listen to me" I shook him and he snapped out of his rage, "Remember what I told you in my office, Nessie needs our support more than ever now! She needs to know that you don't hate her so I need you to go in there and comfort her, be the one thing you can be for that no one else can be- her father!"

He opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was a sob, "my little girl, how could she do this to herself, she always got straight A's since kindergarten, she always smiles and laugh. How could my child go through this?"

I felt sympathy towards him, "I know Edward, I know! I thought the same thing but right now that isn't important because right now Esme is trying to comfort Nessie who feels like you will abandon her because of this, all she has feared was that you won't accept her anymore because of this!" Once I finished my sentence, not a second later Edward was racing to the house and I followed behind him. He walked through the door and grabbed Nessie pulling her into a tight hug. She kept mumbling "I'm sorry" but I heard Edward assure her that she had nothing to be sorry about and he apologized for reacting the way that he did.

Edward's Point of View

"It's ok darling! Everything is going to be fine!" I told my little girl as she sobbed into my shoulder and I knew from now on, I would be there for her- always! Nessie will get better!

"I love you daddy!" she whispered into my ear

"I love you too darling!" I said kissing her forehead!
