I really looked forward to them, and will again as soon as this loser gets a life.

Ok I'm done with my rant, enjoy the chapter and review if you can!!

The past 2 weeks seemed to drag on and on. Grandpa left last week, after he made sure my mom knew how to take my stitches out. Jacob, on the other hand refused to leave until he found out if Gavin and his family left. I haven't heard from either Gavin or Cassandra at all during my punishment. Mostly due to the fact that the beach is off limits. Today is the last day of my punishment, and I have been pacing impatiently in my room.

"Renesmee, lunch is ready." My mom said as she stuck her head in my room. She finally stopped talking to me as if I was someone who had just killed her entire family.

"Renesmee!" My dad scolded. He heard my thoughts.

Ok, maybe just talking to me like she's heartbroken. I huffed and walked out of my room.

"That's a little better." He said as I walked passed the living room. Jacob has settled a little with whatever was bothering him. He stayed away from me my first week of being locked up, but this week he is a lot better.

I picked up my pace as I saw Jacob get off the couch. With one long stride Jacob stepped in front of me. "Hey!" I called out. I tried pushing around him to beat him into to kitchen, but as I ducked around him, he picked me up and tucked me under his arm. We were both laughing when we walked into the kitchen. I was glad Jacob was here because no matter what I wanted to do he would do it. Since I couldn't watch TV or play videogames, I would sit in my room and play with my tea set, made up stupid card games, or play hide and seek. Jacob would gladly play any of those whenever I asked him to. Yesterday I got so board that I begged Jacob to let me dress him up. He didn't fit in any of my play dresses that Aunt Alice gave me, but I put him in the scarves and hats that I had. My dad got a huge kick out of that.

We sat at the kitchen table and my mom placed a sandwich in front of me with some juice. She turned and placed 3 sandwiches in front of Jacob. "Wow, that's a lot of food." I said, eyeing his plate.

"I bet I could eat all three of these before you're even done with half of your one sandwich." Jacob challenged.

"Jacob, don't challenge her like that. She'll get sick." My mom shook her head.

"You're on!" I ignored her and Jacob shoved half of his first sandwich in his mouth before I even took my first bite.

"I win!" Jacob mumbled with his mouth full.

"You have a big mouth, so it's not fair!" I was not even a quarter of the way done with my sandwich.

"You're just sad because you lost. Stop making excuses cry baby." Jacob laughed.

"I could beat you any day out hunting!" I said sarcastically.

Jacob shrugged. "We'll have to wait and see once you're not under house arrest anymore."

I reached across the table and Jacob shook my hand. "You got yourself a deal." I promised him.

My mom walked back into the kitchen and leaned over to kiss the top of my head. "We'll go hunting tomorrow." She sounded too eager, and I felt guilty. I've never seen her eyes so black, but both my parents refused to leave me to go hunting these past 2 weeks. Jacob was a little uneasy about it, but it didn't bother me. I only felt bad because they wouldn't go hunting because of me. I knew the burning feeling in my throat when I thirsted for blood, but that was only half of what my parents feel. I couldn't imagine how bad their throats burned right now. I shrugged to myself figuring it was pretty bad since my dad didn't answer my thought. Either that or he didn't want to scare Jacob.

"Yes." My dad's voice echoed from the living room.

"Yes what?" My mom asked as she walked back out of the kitchen.

"I was talking to Nessie."

"What did you say?" Jacob asked me.

I giggled. "Nothing."

The next morning I woke up and ran into the playroom where Jacob was sleeping. I jumped on the pull out bed and bounced around. Jacob slapped my legs out from under me and I fell on top of him laughing. "Wake up!" I leaned forward on his chest to yell in his ear.

"No!" He groaned.

"Come on! We're going hunting today!"

Jacob mumbled something and rolled onto his side causing me to fall off of him. I laid on my side facing him and poked at his closed eyes.

He slapped my hand away. "You have issues little girl."

I punched his shoulder. "You're cranky big guy."

I heard my mom laughing at me. I turned to look at her standing in the doorway. "Bella, control your little beast." Jacob pushed my shoulders.

"I'm not a beast! There's only one of those here now." I leaned forward sniffing him and scrunched up my nose. "And he smells like a dog." I couldn't help but laugh when I heard my mom laughing hysterically behind me. I was happy that she was finally happy again.

"That's a good one." She said through laughs.

I smiled at her. "Thanks!"

"Now get off the bed before your father comes in here." She whispered so low that I could barely hear her.

"Ok." I whispered and climbed over Jacob to get off the bed.

"Hello world!" I yelled as loud as I could as I ran outside. My voice echoed off the trees. I was overly excited that I was finally free.

"Up you go." My dad stepped in front of me, and I turned to look at Jacob walking towards us with my mom.

"Can I go on Jacob's back?" I asked just as Jacob and my mom reached us.

My dad growled, but it was cut short as he looked at my mom. She narrowed her eyes at him. I wondered what she was thinking.

"Fine." He huffed and I ran around to stand behind Jacob.

I pushed against his back. He didn't even budge, but I didn't care. "Go phase!"

"Ok, ok." He said, and jogged into the trees. He came back a few seconds later. He was the bigger version of my ratty stuffed wolf, but I preferred this big, warm, furry wolf over my stuffed one. Jacob laid down and I grabbed onto his fur to pull myself onto his back.

"Let's go!" I pointed towards the woods. We took off running. Jacob leaped over small trees, and splashed through the rivers. I've never had so much fun on a hunting trip before.

"I'm going over here." My mom spoke low. My dad and Jacob nodded. I watched my dad stalk off in the opposite direction as my mom. Jacob turned his head to look at me out of the corner of his eye.

I knew he was wondering where I wanted to go. I closed my eyes and sniffed the air. I pointed in front of us. "That way."

Jacob immediately took off running and we found a small herd of deer. We didn't have many breeds of animals on the island, so I mainly settled for the deer or fish.

When we were done I asked Jacob to take me over to the beach. He did as I asked, and I slid off of his back. Jacob stayed behind me as I wondered close to the water. I saw a head bobbing by the rocks. "Cassandra!" I called out to her. She stood up, but ducked back in when she saw the huge guard dog behind me. "It's ok, he wont hurt you." I said and she stood back up and walked towards me.

"Cassandra no!" Gavin appeared in front of her. Jacob howled and ran into the water. He leaped over me, soaking my sundress on the way.

I pulled at Jacob's tail. "Stop it!" I hissed. He ignored me.

"What do you want?" I turned towards my mothers voice. She must have been closer than my dad when she heard Jacob's howls.

"Just to make sure your daughter is ok. My sister here has been missing her new friend terribly. Mrs. Cullen, would it be a problem if Cassandra has a chance to say goodbye to her friend properly?" Gavin asked politely.

My mom looked at Jacob and he shook his huge head from side to side. "What's your name young man?" My mom asked him.

"Gavin, Ma'am." He nodded once. "And this is my sister Cassandra."

"Well Gavin, you and your little family has started quite some trouble with my family."

Gavin bowed his head. "My deepest apologies Mrs. Cullen, but your daughter is a great girl to hang out with, and her and my sister have become quite acquainted."

I noticed another, larger man submerge from the water. "Ashton." I whispered to myself. Jacob backed up so he was directly in front of me, and my mom stepped into the water to block Ashton's path to us. Ashton stepped in front of both Gavin and Cassandra. When he did that my mom crouched down ready to spring.

"I mean no harm, but will attack if I have to." My mom warned.

Ashton held up his arms to show her he doesn't want a fight either. I was glad because Cassandra and Gavin already lost their mother, I'd hate for them to lose their father too. He wouldn't have a chance against my mother. Especially if it was to protect me.

"I thought my husband told you to keep your distance." My mom's voice was cold.

"Yes, yes he did, but I can only control my own children. As soon as I laid eyes on your young one I knew she'd be trouble, and that she is. She manipulated my little girl, and turned her and my son into liars. For the passed week she has been coming down to these waters and forcing my children to lie to me."

"Your son almost killed my daughter!" I didn't think my mom's voice could go that high.

"I was there, he did no such thing. They were playing in the water, and she simply got away from him. It was an honest mistake. I helped my son pull her onto the sand, and that was all we could do. It was her own stupidity for trying to swim like them." Ashton pointed behind him to Cassandra and Gavin.

"You on the other hand, would probably be a great swimmer." Ashton eyed my mom, and I thought I was going to throw up. Jacob stepped away from me to stand next to my mom growling at Ashton. Ashton took a step towards my mom, ignoring Jacob.

"Take one more step towards me and-"

"Bella!" My dad's voice was close, but I couldn't see him.

"Too late." I could hear the smirk in my mom's voice.

My dad moved so fast that the water didn't even splash up around him. I blinked and he was standing in front of my mom in a crouch. Ashton and my dad were face to face. "Leave her alone." My dad snarled.

"Relax, I was only joking around." Ashton clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You Vampires have no sense of humor."

"Not when you're hitting on the vampire's wife."

"No harm done." Ashton's eyes widened. I couldn't see why since I was at the back of the long line of protectors. Plus my dad had his back towards me, so I couldn't see his face.

This was getting too out of hand. None of us meant any harm to anyone. I bit my bottom lip and roamed around inside my head trying to find the courage to step up and say something. I peeked around Jacob and saw Gavin looking around the line of creatures between us, smiling at me. There was my courage.

"Stop!" I urged as I ducked under Jacob's wagging tail. I treaded through the water, and Jacob stomped his foot down blocking my path. I dove into the water, not caring about the stitches in my head. The salt water burned but I ignored it. I somehow made it passed my mom, but my dad reached under the water and pulled me up. "Just hear me out." I begged as I brushed my hair out of my face. My dad's hand was tight around my upper arm, his fingers overlapping. He didn't object, and everyone's eyes were on me. I took a deep breath. "This is stupid! We're just kids! Kids fall down and get hurt while playing all the time." I looked behind me towards my mom. "Right, mom? How many times did you fall down when you were younger? I do recall when I got my four wheeler, a certain story involving you and Jacob playing around and you got hurt." I looked up at my dad. "And you still let her hang out with him, right?"

"Yes, but…"

I cut my dad off. "And mom went cliff diving, well she was supposed to go with Jacob, but he wasn't around. She got hurt, but she was still friends with him. Grandpa Swan told me all the times mommy was rushed to the hospital because she fell and got hurt. It wasn't anyone's fault, just an accident. Lets face it, the human part of me I got from mom, right?" I waited for my dad to nod. "Well then that wouldn't make me too coordinated now would it?" My dad smiled, but waited for me to continue. "So, what I'm trying to say is, kids fall down and get hurt. That doesn't mean the world has to end, and that friends aren't allowed to play together anymore. Cassandra, Gavin and I have fun. We go swimming, search for shells, and Gavin taught me how to body surf. He wasn't trying to hurt me, accidents happen," I turned back to look at both my mom and Jacob. "If they didn't happen then Jacob let go of moms motorcycle wanting to hurt her. That wasn't the reason why you let go, was it Jakey?" Jacob huffed then shook his head. "I rest my case." I sighed.

"Renesmee…" My dad started, and I braced myself for whatever he was going to throw at me. "You're absolutely right. I think we can make some arrangements where you can still see your friends."

"No way!" Cassandra and I screamed at the same time. My dad let go of my arm and I jumped in a circle. Not meaning to validate my point, I tripped on a rock and fell forward. 4 hands wrapped around my arms, and my parents both laughed.

"Now I definitely see your point." My dad chuckled.

"I will allow planned visits on the beach, but nothing more." Ashton said after my parents got me standing upright.

"That's fine, but one more comments about my wife, or you and I will have some problems of our own."

Ashton nodded. "I respect that, but if I may say-"

"No you may not." My dad snapped.

"Ok, ok. I get it." Ashton backed away. I felt my mom shiver and stepped back behind my dad.

"We will be in contact." my dad said.

I watched Ashton finally step out of Gavin and Cassandra's way. Gavin smiled at me and I smiled back. My dad's hands were suddenly tight on my shoulders, but it was easily ignored. I could watch that guy smile forever.

"Ok, lets go." My dad pushed me forward and I walked out of the water.

We walked back to the house in silence, and my dad seemed to have a silent conversation with Jacob. I rode home on my mom's back, so her and I were a little further ahead than my dad and Jacob.

When we got back to the house it was almost dark, and my mom had to clean my stitches before I had to go to bed.
