I woke up the next morning to my mom, once again sitting in the rocking chair. "You know you don't have to do that." I told her.

"Do what?" She asked innocently.

"Watch me sleep. I'm fine."

"I like to watch you sleep."

"I bet daddy misses you though." I chuckled.

"Dad will survive." She winked at me.

I got up and walked over to her. She knew not to reach for the blanket and I climbed onto her lap. I placed my hand on her cold cheek, flashing her visions of the beach. "Please." I whispered as I dropped my hand.

"Do not go into the water. If you come back with any one of your toes wet you are not to go down to the beach ever again." Her voice was stern.

"No water, got it." I nodded. "Thanks mommy!" I kissed her cheek and slid off her lap.

"Where's the fire?" My dad asked when I raced towards him. I wanted to run into my playroom for my beach bucket. He held his arm out just in time for me to run into it. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pushed me back, kneeling in front of me.

"I'm going down to the beach." I said quickly, and bit my bottom lip when Jacob growled.

"No you're not." My dad stood up. He looked down the hall to my room. My mom never came out, so I figured she was making my bed and straightening up.

"She said I can." I said as I walked around him.

I glanced behind me and noticed my dad watching Jacob as he was watching me. I ignored both of them and raced out of the house.

"Hey!" I yelled, waving as I ran towards Gavin. "Where's Cassandra?" I asked, looking around the beach.

"Dad wanted her to stay home today." He shrugged. "Don't know why, but it's just you and me." He sat down. I sat next to him and smiled when he scooted over to me so our arms were touching. We sat in silence, and his arm moved. He lifted it over my head, letting it rest on my shoulders. I leaned into him. "Can I ask you something?" His voice was low.

"Anything." I breathed. I wanted to grab my chest, my heart was beating so hard. I was scared it was going to beat right out of my chest.

"Can I kiss you?" Gavin looked down at his feet. "I really like you, you're not like any other girl I have ever met."

I bit my bottom lip to stop me from screaming. "Yes." I sighed, and turned my whole body to look at him. He did the same. His hands moved to my face, and I swallowed. This was it. My first kiss. I leaned in at the same time he did. I could taste his scent on my tongue. His cool breath against my face. My throat burned a little, but I could easily ignore it.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen!" I jumped when I heard the sheer disappointment and anger in my fathers voice. A fierce growl shook the trees behind him, and Jacob appeared on all fours.

"NO!" I screamed as I jumped to my feet. "Jacob how could you!"

"Leave him out of this." My dad snapped at me. His eyes zeroed in on Gavin's hand on my hip. "Boy I suggest you take your hand off of her now."

"Dad…" I started, but he held up his hand to stop me. He was still glaring at Gavin.

"You have a death wish? Any last words? You're a dead fish." My dad growled and took a step towards us. I moved so Gavin was completely behind me. "Out of my way." My dad looked down at me.

I heard a splash behind me and Gavin was gone. "You!" My dad was suddenly standing directly in front of me. For the first time in my entire life I was terrified of my father. "You lied to me. All this time… to your mother! Do you know how upset she is right now? We trusted you."

"I'm sorry… They are my friends." I avoided my dad's eyes.

"Friends don't leave you when you're injured. They go get help." I went to say something but my dad reached for me. Although he never hit me, or even raised his hand to me, I cringed. He ignored my movement, and lifted me over his shoulder.

I avoided Jacob the whole way home. Jacob walked behind us, so I kept my eyes lock on the ground, although I could feel Jacob's eyes burning into me.

My dad put me down once we were in the house. I stared directly in front of me at my dad's stomach. He turned me so I was facing my mom. She leaned against the wall in the hallway by my room. Her left arm was wrapped across her stomach, and her right hand was placed over her still heart. Her expression was something I have never seen before.

"I have." My dad leaned down to whisper to me, answering my thoughts. "And I will not tolerate anything or anyone responsible for that look to be on her face. You know who that person is?"

I closed my eyes and dropped my chin to my chest. "Me." I whispered.

"Yes." My dad hissed into my ear. He pushed my shoulders and I stumbled towards my mom.

"Mo-" I began, but she closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Don't even start with an apology young lady." Her voice shook, and I hated to hear her so upset. "We're way passed apologies."

"Wha-"

"You snuck around behind our backs, you lied to both of us, you forced Jacob to lie to us but all that doesn't compare to that fact that you used me."

I could do nothing but stand in front of her crying. "I didn't!" I sobbed.

"Yes! Yes you did!" She was towering over me in a flash. "You wanted me to put my shield around you so your father wouldn't hear your thoughts. You put me against him, and that will not be tolerated. I stood up for you to him, when you were lying right to our faces! How can I ever trust you again, Renesmee? I'm so… I'm disappointed, my daughter would never lie to me like you did. Look where it got you! You could have been killed out there!"

"But I wasn't!"

"I'm not done!" She snapped at me, and I pressed myself against the wall. "You ever lie to your fathers face, or force Jacob to lie for you, or lie to me again, I will make sure you are watched every moment of every day. And don't you EVER play me against your father again! That's not going to work, I don't care if he reads your most private thoughts. I'm not going to be a convenience for you to use me whenever you want to keep something from him." She was quiet for a moment, her eyes were filled with nothing but hurt, and it ripped at my insides to see her like that.

"You and me both." My dad once again answered my thought. "Take a good look at her face because this is the last time I will have you responsible for putting that look there."

"Edward." My mom sighed. She closed her eyes and sucked in a unsteady breath. "Renesmee…" She said my name with complete disappointment. "Just go." She stepped aside and pointed to my room. I did as she said and as soon as I walked into my room I fell to my knees. I buried my face in my hands and cried.

"Edward." I heard my mom crying in their heartbreaking way.

"Calm down." he said soothingly. "This is torture. How do I deal with my own daughter hurting you in a way I would kill anyone else if they hurt you like this." He asked her.

"She knows she's done wrong. This is part of having a family. You are now torn between your wife and your daughter." My Grandpa told my dad.

"Carlisle, she used her. She used her for her gift. I could…." My dad trailed off, and I was glad. I didn't want to hear what he could do to me for using my mom the way I did.

I crawled backwards, pressing myself against the wall so I could see out my door. I saw Jacob walk inside and my mom walked up to him with my dad. "Thank you Jake. You did the right thing in telling us."

"Sure, sure." Jacob shrugged. He looked hurt too.

"She doesn't know yet. It's just a crush. I assure you that I would rather it be you than that fish." I had no idea what my dad was talking about, but it made Jacob smile.

"Can I get that recorded and then signed by you?" Jacob laughed.

"Don't push it, pup." My dad warned. His arms were still tight around my mom. She glanced over her shoulder to look at me. I held my breath. She closed her eyes and looked away from me. New tears streamed down my face.

"I say we go fishing." Jacob smirked at my dad. "I could go for some sushi." He said as he patted his stomach.

"Sounds good." My dad agreed.

"No." I whispered. "Gavin." I sniffed. My dad turned to glare at me, and my grandpa stood in front of my door.

"He did nothing to harm her."

"Carlisle! Look at her head! He took her in the 1 part of the island we don't want her going to, and he let her go! In the worst waters he let her go, then left her on the beach. She had no trail leading us to her. You don't know the fear when your child isn't home when she's supposed to be! You don't know the heartbreaking terror when you go out to find her and her scent leads into the ocean and disappears."

"No, Son. I don't know the pain you are feeling right now, but I do know the pain of not knowing where your child is. Do you recall when the volturi were coming for Renesmee, and your sister took off with Jasper? You had the chance to go find your daughter! I couldn't go after mine. I couldn't go and bring her back home. Being a father and a husband at the same time isn't easy. But remember she's just a child. She's meant to make mistakes." I was very grateful for my grandpa's words.

"Alice is a grown woman. She can take care of herself. Renesmee is 6 years old! Even if you want to get technical she's 11, and that's still too young for her to be sneaking off to meet some boy. She deliberately disobeyed me, Carlisle. I told her to stay away from them!"

"She's on this island with no one else to play with. She finally found kids her age. I understand your anger with her because she lied to you, but it doesn't make it better to go out and kill every boy she has a crush on. That's not who you are, that's not the son I know. If anything you'll make her hate you, and I know that's the last thing either of you want." While my grandpa spoke I noticed Jacob starring at my dad and he nodded once. Jacob then backed out of the front door and I ran to my window. Jacob ran into the trees and I saw his jean shorts come flying back into the yard.

I opened my window and stood on the rocking chair. I needed to go after him. I needed to stop him from finding Gavin. I was halfway out my window when I felt something cold and hard wrapped around my ankle. "Where do you think you're going?" My dad growled.

"I have to go after Jacob!" I cried out. My chest vibrating from the sobs.

"Get back in here." My dad sighed, his voice was surprisingly calm. He held his arms open, and I reached for him. He pulled me back through the window and sat down on the rocking chair. I turned on his lap to look at him. "He's going to make sure your little friends are not going to try anything tonight. If anything that family is halfway across the world by now."

"Cassandra! She was my friend!" I couldn't hold back the sob, and my dad held me close to him. I rested my head against his chest, soaking his shirt with my tears.

"I know, and I'm sorry you lost your new friend, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have been hanging around them in the first place." My dad said softly as he rocked me in the chair.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to use mom like that. I didn't think any of this," I pointed to my stitches. "was going to happen."

"She'll come around. It takes a lot to make your mother as upset as you made her today, but the one thing I love most about her, she forgives no matter how bad she's hurt. She doesn't want your apologies. You have to earn her trust back."

"I can deal with that. Just not her hating me."

"Renesmee." My dad scolded. "Neither one of us has or will ever hate you. We may get mad at you, yell at you, or punish you, but we do it because we love you."

"That makes sense." I rolled my eyes.

"It will when you're older." My dad smiled for the first time since he found me with Gavin.

"I've learned my lesson. I was just too excited when I realized I was able to keep all this from you, but it was more stressful to be careful and convince myself the lies were true, so when you read my thoughts that's all you heard."

"You did good, but I also looked passed a lot of it because I had so much trust in you."

"And that's gone now, right?" I asked him, my voice shaky.

"Yes, for now. In time you will earn my trust back, along with your mother's." He kissed my forehead, and I heard Jacob howl outside. My dad looked towards the window, and stood up. He put me on my bed and walked towards the door. He turned to look at me before he walked out of my room. "You're grounded for 2 weeks. No computer, not TV, no video games, and no beach."

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked. I knew I done wrong, but he just took away everything!

He reached over to my bookshelf, and tossed me a ratty book that was my mother's when she was human. "We have plenty of books around the house. Read." He said, and closed my door behind him.

I didn't want to read. I took the stupid old book and chucked it at the closed door. "Let it go." I heard my grandpa tell either my mom or my dad. I threw myself down on my bed and buried my face in my pillow, screaming as loud as I could. What did they expect me to do for 2 weeks? I learned my lesson, both my parents screaming at me wasn't punishment enough? When I was done with my tantrum, and no one came in to check on me, I decided to take out my ipod and listen to music. I closed my eyes hoping to sleep out my entire punishment.
