This is not much of a Lemony chapter, I'm sorry.
But the good part is that the plot finally kicks in full blast :P
When you read it, don't hate me. :)

Enjoy.

Arguments, Rage, Torment.

RPOV

"You father took a drive yesterday." Mom said, I could tell she was trying to keep her voice even. I just looked at them, what was she on about? "He saw Melanie and that boy, Conner, together." Shit! "So where exactly were you?"

I didn't know how I was going to get myself out of this one.

"Okay, you caught me, woohoo for you guys." I said sarcastically, throwing my bag noisily across the kitchen floor. What use would it be for me to lie, the shield was probably off anyway.

"This is not a joke." Mom growled.

"You deliberately disobeyed us, Renesmee." Dad said angrily, he never used this tone with me. So now they were going to gang up on me. Great.

"Disobeyed? I'm not some kind of animal you can force your will on." I yelled, I could feel that tight feeling in my stomach and the stuffiness in my throat that was always followed by a stream of tears. Honestly, how can they treat me like this.

"What if something happened to you?" Dad glowered at me, he shoved the dining room chair aside and stood up to face me, all I could see was pure rage.

"What's gonna happen to me? I'm a vampire for crying out loud!" And there it was, a pool of tears started to form at the corner of my eyes.

"Half. You're only half a vampire." He stomped towards me, mom got up now, she could se dads temper was getting the best of him. I stepped back cautiously, afraid of what he might do. Instead he walked straight past me into the living room where he forcefully slammed his fist into the cement wall.

"That doesn't even matter, nothing could've happened to me." I could feel my cheeks flaming as the warm tears trickled down my face.

"You should've told us where you were going." Mom came up behind me and touched my shoulder lightly. I crudely nudged it off, whipping myself around to face her.

"Like that would've done any good. You would've probably said no." My fists balled up at my sides and the anger started to course through my veins. Mom always said I had my fathers temper. I could see that I hit her soft spot by using the word you.

"I might not have." She snapped.

"You pretty much banished Jake." I retorted. She was lying to herself and me if she thought there was a chance in hell she would've said yes to me staying the night with Jake.

"Now you're just twisting everything." Mom was always one to never admit to being wrong.

"That doesn't excuse the fact you went out behind our backs and stayed the night with Jacob Black." Dad practically spat the name like it was the most disgusting thing any human being would do.

"I love him!" I didn't know which was to look, at dad or at mom, I felt like I was being attacked from every angle. My mouth was talking before I had time to think the words up in my head.

"You don't know what love is!" Mom bellowed, she stomped towards me and grabbed me by the arms before shaking me vigorously, as if that was going to make my brain work. I pushed myself out of her arms and angrily ran my hand through my hair.

"What do you know about our love! You never have given him the chance! Why stop me! I sure as hell know that Grandpa didn't stop you from loving Dad!" Mom breathed in sharply and her eyes darkened, I knew I had over-stepped the barrier but how could she lecture me on feelings when she has never had to deal with what I am being put through. She took a menacing step towards me and pointed at me.

"Don't you dare...Don't you dare Renesmee, bring your grandfather into this." I'd had enough, I was never the one to argue with my mother and I sure as hell didn't enjoy it when I did but this time, I just needed to get out of the room. Dad was glaring at me with his golden eyes, I could basically feel the disappointment rolling off his body in viscous waves. Mom on the other hand was just radiating pure rage, and knowing that was enough for me to bolt before things got dirty. I had to play the 'I'm-so-angry-I'm-going-to-leave-before-something-bad-happens-to-you' card.

"You know what, Bella, when you get over your self-righteous motherly-instincts, rampage, come talk to me because I really, really am going to hit you soon." That shut her up. I literally ran out the door as fast as I could into the forest that Jake would most definitely disapprove of, who gave a shit, I was letting everyone down today anyway. I let my anger fade away into pure sadness as my legs struggled through the mush and trees in the dark.

JPOV

I woke up with pure bliss, although it wasn't the same without her next to me. The first thing to do was check the time.

9:18 am.

Okay. I was late.

Second thing to do was hurry up and out of my bed and shower. Work was not the brightest part of my day, though it was doing something I loved which kind of made up for it. Okay, screw the shower, I needed to get to work, they had a low tolerance for my tardiness.

I picked up a T-shirt and a pair jeans lying on the floor and put them on, making sure I smelled all right, nope not too good. I sprayed on some deodorant and I was good to go.

"I'm sorry for leaving you, bed." I whispered to my bed before heading out my room door and catching Billy sitting at the small round table that cluttered our kitchen.

"Late again, Jacob." He said with a tone that clearly implied it was not a question. I just shrugged, taking a piece of toast from the toaster and spreading peanut butter on it. It brought back the memory of that night Ness felt like having a peanut butter sandwich and by the time I got back she was fast asleep, even talking a little, even though I'd never tell her, she'd be mortified.

I let the smile sweep across my face as I roughly spread it over my toast and darted out the door with a quick "Bye."

I grabbed the keys hastily out of my pocket and opened the door, quickly jumping in and putting the keys into the ignition. As I drove down the same gravel road a flood of memories came back to me from the night before, the night I finally became one with my Nessie. I found myself thinking about her at every minute of every day, like what was she doing now? Will I see her today, will I feel that soft sultry skin against mine ever so gracefully.

Her lips were the perfect shade of cherry and her eyes were big, dark chocolate brown coloured. Everything about her was perfect. I had to force myself to focus when I got to work though, the boss didn't like us to be distracted when fixing an engine.

I saw Matt, in his usual place, casually leaning against the brick wall, smoking a cigarette with a small cloud of smoke dangling in the air above his head. Matt had been my first friend in the workshop, though he was a prick when he wanted to be.

"Dude, where's Mikey?" I called out when he exhaled his latest puff of death.

"He left early, said there was some kind of emergency." He reported, taking another lung full of smoke.

"Sweet." I said and began walking back into the garage. The car I was working on was a 1986 Mustang, filled with a nitrate engine and a heck of a flamer. I would kill to have one of these babies. Instead I was stuck here repairing them and getting it a new paintjob.

"So what'd you do this weekend?" Matt asked and moved to the opposite side of the car where he readjusted the engine pipe.

"I spent some time with my girl, you?" I loved telling people that I had a girlfriend. I loved telling people that she was my girlfriend.

"Man, you should've seen this fine Porte Rican babe, she was all over me." That made me look up at him, he was relatively tall, kind of chubby, with clumps of hair dewed to his greasy face. Somehow I had trouble with his statement.

"Yeah, sure she was, bro." I laughed and he grimaced.

"Dude, Porte Ricans dig this." He lifted up his belly flab and jiggled it around.

"You know, I was hoping to keep my breakfast down." I chuckled and picked up a bottle of grease.

"You're just jealous 'cause that fine babe of yours wont put out." That sparked something in me, a need to defend her, but keep her dignity intact.

"Dude, sex doesn't matter, I love her." He rolled his eyes at me like I was just some guy who fell in love with the first girl he meets. Poor guy didn't even know what love was.

"You can't tell me you don't want some of her fine pussy." Okay, nobody talks about my girl like that. What the fuck was wrong with this dick-head, he was so full of shit.

"Shut the fuck up." I growled and it just seemed to set him off. He laughed and began pouring the paint into our mechanical spray paint devices.

"Oh Jacob, I'm gonna be a virgin till we marry..." He said in a high pitched voice, trying to mimic the way Ness would talk. Bastard crossed the line.

"Don't fucking talk about her." I glowered at him for a second before he finally backed off and put his hands in the air as if to surrender.

"Dude, Bro's before Hoe's." He chuckled, letting his arms fall. I let that one slide. I didn't need another warning on my notice. He bent his head over the engine and reached in for something. "I bet I could teach her some manners." He mumbled. that was it, screw the warnings.

I pulled him violently out of the hood and held him against the wall, his hands were up in the air the second I had him off the ground.

"Don't you ever fucking talk about her like that." I growled, making sure I made my point perfectly clear. My forearm was at his throat as he nodded briskly, scared shitless. I dropped him then and he cupped his throat, gasping for air while I walked out of the garage, my rage at full flare.

"Are you sure she hasn't dropped by the house?" I asked Alice again, she didn't come home last night, Bella is pretty much sick to her stomach, of herself.

"Yes Edward, I think I'd notice if my niece stayed the night here." I sighed loudly. It wasn't like Ness to just disappear without telling anybody. The thought of calling Jacob disgusted me, but I had to, that was the most likely scenario.

"Okay, I'll call you when I figure out where she is." I said into the receiver and without waiting for a response, I shut my cell phone. I turned to Bella who sat at the table with her head in her hands.

"Don't worry love, we'll find out where she is." She stood up from the table, her eyes were back as night, I told her to go hunting sooner but she refused.

"What if she's run away?" She cried and walked sullenly into my waiting arms, her head rested flat against my chest and if were possible to cry at this moment she would be. I tried to put on a brave face and be the strong one, but this was wearing me out.

"She'll come home." That was all I could assume at that moment. "I think I should call Jacob... to see if she's with him." I said, careful not to aggravate her. She just nodded gloomily and went to sit back at the table where she resumed her previous pose.

I picked up my cell phone and began dialling the number for Jacob Black. The last person I wanted to talk to. He probably had his hands all over her, I tried to be the understanding dad type but that's just not me.

"Hello" said an angry voice.

"Jacob?" I replied, I wasn't sure if it was him.

"Edward?" He asked surprised, shit! I just wished I could rip his head off.

"Yeah, it's me Jacob, look, is Ness with you?" I asked, there was an eerie silence on the other end before he responded.

"No, why?" His voice was worried, I could hear it. Behind me I heard Bella mumble something that sounded a lot like 'asshole'.

"We had an argument last night and she took off." I felt weak admitting that we were the reason she was somewhere out there, seeking the help of a dog.

"She what? Where is she?" Now he was panicking, I didn't know whether Jacob was just a good liar or if he was actually telling the truth. If I knew where she was I wouldn't be calling him, now would I.

"Look, Jacob, if she's with you, we'll be okay with that, just tell us." I asked, I noticed my voice was filled with anguish at the fact that my daughter, my only daughter probably hates us.

"Edward, if she were with me I'd tell you, but she's not, have you tried her cell phone?" What an idiot question.

"Yes we have, many times, there's no answer." I said, like it wasn't already obvious.

"Okay wait, I'll try, she'll talk to me." I felt my body tense, of course she would. I felt powerless, Jacob had more control over Ness than I ever did, even though he didn't use it at all. Not that Ness was one who needed to be controlled, it's just that every parent wants to have some kind of control over their child. It wasn't a dictatorship thing, just a safety precaution, or so I thought. I heard the phone click on the other end a snapped shut my cell phone.

I looked over at Bella who was staring up at me with her wide eyes, full of questions that I couldn't answer.

"Do you think...?" Her voice was a broken sob as she let it trail off.

"I don't know. I hope not." Was all I could say to reassure her and myself.

I started dialling her number as fast as I could. If she took off, why didn't she tell me, I would've gone and got her. Shit, the thought of her alone out there made me sick to my stomach. The fact that there was still a leech roaming around made my insides twist even more. I clicked the call button and waited.

Ring ring,

Ring ring,

Ring ring,

Ring ring,

Ring ring...

"Hello?" Came a tired voice.

"Ness, where are you?" I asked, I could hear the sigh on the other end, I don't think she realised how dangerous it was for her.

"Jake, I'm fine, don't worry." I heard her yawn, I could hear the sound of leaves rustling in the background.

"How can I not worry? Come to my house, you don't have to go home, everybody is worried sick." My head was trying to come up with as many reasons as it could for her to come home.

"I was planning to do that already." She chuckled, the sound of her shrill laughter made my worry disappear, she was okay, it was okay.

"Well then hurry up, I miss you, you scared me to death, baby." I let a smile spread across my face as she giggled lightly.

"I'm already on my way." She giggled. "I'll meet you at your house." I smiled, revving up the engine. I could hear he running, her breathing was starting to speed up.

"Love you." I murmured into the phone.

"Love you more." She said and the phone clicked before anything more was said.

* * *

I waited impatiently on my porch for a sign, any sign that she was coming, I saw none. Billy had called me a couple of times to go inside but I refused, I wasn't leaving till she got here. Judging from the background noise she was somewhere in the forest. I could go looking for her, but that would do no use, she's so tiny, she could be anywhere.

But still, she would've been here by now, unless she decided to go home, which I highly doubted, maybe she decided to go to the main house, I contemplated for a while on whether I should check or call to see if she changed her mind.

But wouldn't she have told me if she changed her plans? Wouldn't she at least took the time to text me and tell me where she was, She would've.

Or maybe she just decided to take a break and rest for a while, which was also highly unlikely. I felt something heavy brewing in my chest, I didn't quite know what it was yet but it felt bad, I felt worried, panic stricken, I kept telling myself that there was nothing to be afraid of, she must've just got held up.

I forced myself to think of something different, but every time I glanced at the clock on my phone and new worry emerged in me. I contemplated on calling her, but figured it was probably stupid, she should be very close now.

I felt something vibrating next to me and I picked it up, looking at the caller ID. It was Ness. Finally.

"Ness, where are you, I'm waiting here on the..." I was cut off by a familiar male voice.

"Jacob? Jacob, get to the hospital NOW!" Was the response I got, it was Edward. Panic washed through me.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I answered, my voice thick and layered with worry.

"It's Renesmee." I heard a piercing scream that I'd notice anywhere on the other end and the phone went dead. I stood there listening to the dial tone, my mind was telling my feet to move but my body was frozen, stuck in a stupor that failed to comprehend.

That scream, that was my Nessie.

I had not been there to protect her.

To be continued...

Ooh, what happened ?
I'll tell you in the next chapter :P
If theres lots of reviews, I'll update quicker :D
