A/N: Hey, I'm not satisfied with this chapter entirely, but I'm anxious to get it up. Please review if you think it's worth it. If not, well, I'll assume you all hate it. Just joking. I took this in a different direction than I was planning on it, and I hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, or its wonderful characters. However, the plot to this story is mine! All mine! (And Connor, he's mine too!)

……………………….

The day came and went, and before I knew it, the school bell rang. Connor kissed me on the cheek, and told me,

"I'll see you tonight."

I smiled and agreed, then had my father rush home so I could prepare.

Jake was waiting for me at home. I shivered, and gave him a hug. He tried to kiss me, but I backed away. I wouldn't meet his eyes. And although I didn't look, I knew he was confused. I was so scared for his reaction.

"Is something wrong, Ness?" He waited for my answer, and held my hands. I shook them away. To my surprise, he grabbed them back. "What's wrong?" I didn't want to answer.

"Nothing, Jacob. Let go of my hands!" I felt the tears coming down my cheeks. He only tightened his grip.

"Not until you tell me what's wrong with you, Nessie!" He was much too strong for me, but not my father. I was about to call his name when I remembered they were all hunting, with the exception of Emmett.

"Emmett! Uncle Emmett! Help me!" Emmett was there in a flash.

"Jacob, let go of her, now!" Jacob didn't release me. "Jacob, what are you doing? This is your girlfriend!" He loosened his grip, but didn't let go. I glanced at the clock. Connor would be here soon.

"Jake, please, let go of me!" He did, and Emmett went to watch a movie with him, while I went to the kitchen to think. With Jacob so mad, I wasn't ready to tell him. I grabbed our phone, when the doorbell rang. Please, please! Do not be Connor! Be the pizza guy! Please!

I knew it was Connor before I looked. I tried to tell him to go home, but Jacob was behind me in a flash.

"Renesmee, who is that?"

"Um, I don't know, Jake. Never seen him. And, sir, you should go home, because you got the wrong address!" Please leave, Connor. Please know you need to leave!

"But, Nessie? I thought…" No! No, please honey!

"Nessie? You know him!" I started to cry then and there. "Who is he, Renesmee?" He grabbed my hands, and shook me. The look in his eyes showed me what he was going to do.

"Jake, don't! He doesn't know!" But before I could blink, my wrists were scratched, and I had grabbed Connor to protect him from the wolf on my doorstep.

"Uncle Em!" I screamed, shoving Connor behind the rocking chair on our porch. Emmett was there in a flash. He threw Jacob into the wall of our house. I reached for Connor's hand and looked at his face. He had a look of terror plastered, from his eyes, to his mouth.

"Oh, Connor! I'm so sorry!" I brushed dirt off of his cheeks, which had come to be there when I had thrown him across our porch. He didn't move or speak. "I know you did…um…expect that. I was trying to tell you to leave. Jacob was too…"

"NOT HUMAN? Ness, what aren't you telling me?" I looked at him; secretly grateful he wasn't in shock.

"So many things…" I whispered, but instantly regretted it. He was gaping at me.

"That wasn't…all?" I shook my head, tears streaming down my face.

"But, let me clean you up before I tell you…besides, we need to let Jacob calm down." We both looked at my uncle who was pinning down the wolf in the corner. Connor nodded, while I pulled him to his feet. I let him into our kitchen, a place he had become familiar to in the past week. I licked my finger, wiping more dust off his face. I saw a scrape below his eye. "I did that…" I whispered, before running into our parlor, where I sat down at the piano bench. I gently played note after note, trying to calm down. Jake hadn't hurt Connor at all. It was I. Connor found his way to where I was. He wrapped his arms around my neck, and listened to me play.

"You're brilliant, Ness," he said my name that way that took away my breath. He spun my shoulders, and I stopped playing. He wiped the tears from under my eyes. "Don't worry, Ness," But I was worrying.

"You'll leave. You'll hate me! I know it, Connor!"

"Why would that happen?"

"B, b, because! I'm…"

"You…?"

"Ness, we're-OH MY GOD!" It was Grandma. She must have seen Emmett and Jacob.

"I'll tell you soon, I promise, now c'mon," I said, pulling him toward everyone else.

"Emmett, what are you doing?" Grandpa was asking, when I came in, Connor in tow. "Oh," grandpa said at the end.

"Yeah," I breathed. We called Seth and Leah, who took Jacob back home, in La Push.

"Now, Nessie, I think you have some things to explain to Connor, and all of us."
