**Happy New Years Eve! Hope you're having fun! Enjoy and comment! :) **

I froze. Jake tensed as if preparing to phase and rip Dad's head off. I took a deep breath and began to walk towards the door when Jacob put his arm in front of me, signaling he would go first. I could hear him walk into the kitchen where I presumed Dad was. "What do you want?" I heard Jake asked. "My daughter." Dad said. He had never sounded so angry before.

"She is not available right now." Jake said in a rather calm tone. I heard a plate smash. "You know you are trespassing, don't you?" Jake said, his voice rising a little. "Where is she?" Dad said. After a pause I heard another plate smash.

I got up and walked out to the kitchen, I didn't want him to hurt Jacob. When I got there Dad's eyes were angry. He looked angry and hurt though at the same time. His upper lip curled as he said, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen." I took a step closer to Jacob, stepping on a shattered piece of porcelain. "Ouch!" I said hopping up and down on one foot. Jake grabbed my arm and supported me. My left foot hung in the air. Dad didn't move.

"You hurt her." Dad's voice sounded like oil. "You just hurt me!" I shouted back. There was empty silence as my voice echoed. "You threw the plate, not Jake. So you hurt me." Dad smiled. "Alright, this is how you want to play? You're grounded. You can't see Jake, you can't see anyone until I say."

I was getting so angry I could barely hold back tears. I was in love with Jacob. Without warning I yelled, "I bet you fuck Mom every night. In the morning do I tell you that you hurt her? No!"

"How dare you." Dad said back, taking a step towards me. Jacob pushed me against the wall and stood between me and Dad. "You think just because you imprinted on my daughter you can make love-"

"Yes!" I said laughing. "That is exactly what it is, making love. I agreed to it." I said.

"Nessie, just stop." Jake whispered. "Don't you dare touch her again wolf." Dad said, as I heard another car pull into the driveway. Billy and Charlie, I thought.

I pushed Jacob's protective arm away and interlaced his fingers with mine. Jake said, "Sit down Ness, let me look at your foot." Dad stood awkwardly watching.

I sat and he gently pulled my sock off. "Ow!" "I'm sorry." Jake responded, pain flashing across his face too. I saw a small white piece of porcelain in the bottom of my foot. Jacob gently took it out. It still hurt pretty badly though. "I'm sorry" he said again. Then he got up and swept the porcelain and threw it away while Dad still just stood there. Billy wheeled in. "What did I miss? Anything good? Any good movie you two watch?"

I stood up. "Just King Kong." I said, smiling.

"You kids like that? I hate that movie." Charlie said walking in through the door. "Edward, what a surprise. What are you doing here?"

"Renesmee and I were just leaving." Dad said looking at the tiled floor. "I can give her a ride home after dinner." Jacob said.

"I think-" Dad started, "let her stay." Billy finished.

Without a word Dad left. I could hear the car roar away. "What is going on with him?" Charlie asked. "Just being himself." I said as we all chuckled. Jake grabbed my hand and started walking us back to his bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Billy asked. Jake stopped. "To hang out? Without adults."

"Don't do anything stupid." Billy said. "How can I? We're in my room." Jacob kept walking. "Ness?" It was Charlie this time. "Do you want to make dinner? I'm hungry." I sighed.

"In ten minutes?"

"Okay." he said, sounding a little sad. Jake closed his door and locked it. I sat down on his bed.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked, kneeling in front of me. "I can't believe what I said to him." I put my head in my hands. I could tell he stood up and sat down next to me and held me in his arms. "It's okay." He whispered. I started to cry. "Shhhh." He said, rubbing my back.

I looked up at him. "He probably hates me now."

"No he doesn't."

"How do you know?"

"He's your Father and he will never stop loving you."

"I don't want to go home." I sniffled. "Ever." "You have to. You don't want to get in any more trouble than you are already in, do you?"

"How could I be? I've never seen him so mad in my life." Jake rocked me back and forth in his arms. "It's okay. I'll spend the night."

"He won't let you." I said back. "If you want me to stay, I will stay." I heard a knock on the door. "Just a minute." Jake said as the person on the other side tried the doorknob. "What are you doing? Why does the door need to be locked?" Jake sighed. "I don't know, I just locked it." He squeezed me and I breathed him in. I stood up as he said, "You okay?"

"Fine." I said, undoing the lock and opening the door. "So, what do you want to eat?" I asked Charlie and Billy who were watching football. "Anything." Billy said. That was not helpful. "Chicken wings." Charlie said. Great, TV dinner I thought.

I opened the freezer and found the wings. I seasoned them and stuck them in the oven. I leaned against the counter. Jake came over to me and leaned down, kissing me. He pulled back as we heard Charlie walking towards the kitchen.

"Everything okay Nessie? You seem a little tense." He grabbed a bag of chips, looking concerned. "I'm fine." I lied, forcing a smile. He stopped, placed the chips on the counter and said, "What did you two do today. Anything fun?" He was suspicious but I couldn't tell what he thought happened.

"Watched King Kong." I said. It sounded innocent, right? "Wrestled." Jake added. "Huh." was all Charlie said before going back to the living room. Jake pressed me against the counter. "Not now." I said, gently putting my hands on his chest, pushing him away. He laughed.

"Chicken wings are ready." We ate in front of the TV, watching the football game, which I found pretty boring. "Ready to go home?" Jake asked. I had waited for that question but I hoped it would never come. "I guess so."

"Are you sure you're okay Nessie? Want me to give you a ride home?" Charlie asked. "I'm really okay." I lied, hoping I could convince myself it was true. "Okay. Well goodnight." Charlie said. "Good night." Billy said. Jacob grabbed my hand and we left, getting into his car.

"I don't want to go home." I said not moving to buckle myself in. "You have to. Get buckled." Jake responded. "Please." I whined turning to him. "He won't kill you." Jacob said as I got buckled. "You don't know that." I argued. "He might try to kill me though." Jake said angrily.

We drove in silence. When we got home Jacob parked in the driveway and turned to me. "No matter what happens, I love you. Don't cry, stay strong. Don't be too defensive."

"Wha-"

"I've known him longer than you. I know him." He emphasized know. "Okay." I said shakily, getting out of the car. I could see through the huge glass window that the whole family was either sitting or pacing in the living room. I opened the front door and began to walk towards the stairs, but Jacob redirected me, touching my hips to turn towards the living room. So I did.

"Where have you been?" Dad yelled.

"Where do you think?" I spat back. Mom got up and rested a hand on Dad's shoulder. "Calm down Edward." She said.

He whirled on her. "Don't tell me to calm down! This, this dog stole her virginity! Don't you dare tell me to calm down." Jake made a move toward him. I stopped him.

"Jake." I said under my breath, "easy." Carlisle stood. "Edward."

"Don't speak to me." He shouted, turning on me and Jake. "Don't touch her!" He yelled, pushing Jacob away from me, breaking our hands apart. I could see Jake start to shake. He was going to phase. Dad was advancing on him. "Stop!" I yelled.

Jake shook more violently. I ran to him and hugged him, looking up at his eyes. "Look at me." I said. It worked when I was little. It should work now. "You can't do this." I said. "I need you here. Fight for me." His shaking slowed as Dad wrenched me away from him. Carlisle grabbed Dad's shoulder along with Emmet and they pulled him away from Jacob. "How could you?" Dad was shaking, even though he had no one scarier to become. No one more dangerous to become.

But Jake was shaking again. And I needed to stop him.
