Sorry I didn't update yesterday! This chapter isn't that long, but the next one will be, I promise! It should be up either late in the day or tomorrow morning! And you guys already know the disclaimer, sadly.

Enjoy!

The restaurant food had been so good. The prices-not so much. When Carlisle saw the amount he had to pay, I think he almost had a heart attack. "Esme, why did we come here?"

She rolled her eyes. "Carlisle, you know we can afford it. It's not my fault if you're cheap."

I changed right into my pajamas when we got back to the suite. I was really tired but not ready to go to sleep.

I walked out into the main room to see Carlisle and Esme cuddled up together on the couch.

"Come here, sweetheart," Esme said, gesturing me over.

I made my way over to my parents. They pulled me down in between them and wrapped me in their arms. I instantly felt calm.

"So did you like swimming today?" Esme asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, it was fun."

"We're going to the beach tomorrow," Carlisle said. "Esme wants to get a tan. We can go in the ocean if you'd like."

"Sure."

We watched a hilarious sitcom on the high definition TV. I hadn't ever laughed like I did at the show.

When the sitcom was over, I got ready for bed. I was exhausted. As soon as I was under the blankets, I was asleep.

I think that somewhere in me knew I was dreaming. But it felt so real.

My biological mother was laying on the couch. She watched as my biological father approached me with an evil smirk on his face.

"We're gonna have some fun, you whore." He ripped off my jeans and my underwear.

I screamed. He slapped me across my face.

I saw him take his pants off and my mother laugh. It made me sick that these people were actually my biological parents.

I was hitting the pillow beside me. I was half stuck inside my dream and half in reality.

The door was opened and closed quickly. Someone was walking over to the bed.

"Rosalie, honey, you're okay, shh."

I was in someone's arms.

"Let me go!" I exclaimed.

As hard as I fought against the person's hold, I couldn't free myself.

"Sweetie, calm down, I got you."

The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. I couldn't think straight right now.

The one thing I knew was that it was male. Like my biological father.

"PLEASE! PLEASE, LET ME GO! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Please," I begged.

I felt the grip on me slightly lessen so I could turn and face the person.

It was Carlisle.

"I'm so sorry, Daddy," I said, crying into his chest. "I had a nightmare."

"It's okay, sweetheart. It's not real and you're safe," he comforted, rubbing my back.

There was a little bit more light in the room. I looked up to see Esme standing in the open doorway, her concerned face full of worry.

I eventually fell back to sleep, still in Carlisle's arms.

When I woke up, I was still in Carlisle's hold. I looked at him and he smiled at me.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Are you feeling better?"

I nodded, vaguely recalling the details from my nightmare last night. I shuddered at the thought.

"We're gonna get some breakfast and then head over to the beach."

"Okay," I whispered.

Carlisle helped me stand up and I got ready for the day. Esme gave me another bikini to wear (Carlisle wasn't too thrilled) and it was dark purple. She put on a lime green bikini and we wore shorts and tees our bathing suits.

"Make sure you get sunscreen, a towel, an extra change of clothes, and anything else you'd like to bring. Bring all your stuff in your beach bag," Esme instructed.

I put sunscreen in the red beach bag as well as a towel. I grabbed a change of clothes and added it to the bag along with a book I had gotten when we were shopping at the mall.

"All set, honey?" Esme asked.

"Yes."

We went to the hotel restaurant again for complimentary breakfast, so it wasn't fancy like the night before. Carlisle was happy that we didn't have to pay.

The hotel was right on the beach, so all we did was walk out the back. It was very early in the morning, around 7:30, so there were only six other people on the beach.

"Do you wanna get a boogie board, Rosalie?" Carlisle asked, indicating to the two flat boards that two kids were using in the ocean.

It looked fun so I nodded. "Yes, please."

"Esme, I'm gonna take Rosalie to get a boogie board at the beach store over there." He pointed to what looked like a large hut.

Esme nodded. "When you get back, be sure to put sunscreen on, Rose."

"Alright," I confirmed. Then I walked with Carlisle over to the store.

I chose a boogie board with a pattern of fish on it. After paying for it we headed back over to Esme.

Esme handed me my sunscreen. "I'll get your back if you can't reach it."

She helped me cover myself in sunscreen and Carlisle told me where I burned easiest. I covered those places twice.

"We're going in the ocean, Esme," Carlisle said.

"Okay. I'm gonna stay here and tan," Esme stated. She took out a book and put her head back on her towel.

The water was not quite as warm as the indoor pool had been, but it was still warm under the sun. Carlisle helped me learn how to use the boogie board and I was able to do it by myself after a few tries. It was a lot of fun to be laying on top of the waves.

When it was lunch time, we packed up all our stuff and went inside. We changed but Esme told me to put on a bathing suit underneath just in case we did anything that invloved water. She handed me another bikini. It was covered in red and black stripes. She had one that was light blue with pink polka dots.

We had lunch at a place down the street from the hotel. Carlisle said that the amount we paid for the food was a lot more reasonable than the other night. Esme told him that he should give it up on the prices because he had the money anyway and that he was just cheap.

We left the restaurant and walked down the street. Carlisle and Esme told me to look for things that I might like to do. We turned the corner my eyes grew wide. There was so much stuff to do that I didn't know where to start!

Review, please!
