HAHA Ok, I just got an email from someone reading Forever Young and they told me i need to read the books again because I don't have the characters right. She told me the fight in the beginning of the story about Renesmee, and Bella telling Charlie about her being a vampire was way out of character. Well DUH! I said I was throwing in my own twists too! Just thought it was funny and all of your reactions to my negative reviews are amusing to read, so I thought i would share that with you! Also reviews like that make me appreciate all of you that much more. Thanks for the constant support and encouraging words when I get a basher. You all are truely the best and I wanted you to know that!

"First things first," My dad said as he eyed my seatbelt.

I sighed, but put it on.

"Now this car has some power to it. I want you to take it easy. Don't make me regret going against your mother's wishes." He raised an eyebrow and smiled crookedly.

"As a general rule, Dad, you never go against what she wants." I chuckled.

My dad nodded and patted my knee. "You're lucky I love you so much."

I laughed and started the car, checked all my mirrors to make sure I could see and put the car in drive.

"Now, slowly step on the-- RENESMEE!" My dad yelled as soon as I slammed my foot down on the gas pedal. I rolled my eyes. I knew what I was doing. Driving to me seemed like second nature. It was easy and a lot of fun.

"Relax, Dad," I groaned. "I know what I'm doing."

"Slow down!" He yelled.

I glanced at his horror struck face and leaned forward laughing. "Don't have a cow."

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen…" My dad trailed off as he noticed I took the turn perfectly.

"Yes?" I asked.

I saw him smile at me from the corner of my eye and he leaned back in his seat. "Ok, so you're definitely my daughter," he took a deep breath and smirked. "Make a left up here." He whispered.

I turned to look at him, the confusion written all over my face. "Er, Mom…"

"Is not here. You leave her to me. Now lets see what this thing can do… unless you don't want to." Now I understood why he was whispering. He knew she would be trying to listen to us.

The light turned green and I took the turn. Did he really think I wasn't going to do it? I turned onto the highway and smiled when I found it mostly deserted.

We were only driving for a few minutes when headlights appeared behind me. "We're busted." I said as I looked in my rearview mirror. It was my mom's car. My dad closed his eyes and pointed in front of us. "Take this exit and pull into a parking lot. I'll drive the rest of the way home."

"No way!" I screeched. "I'm not stopping this car! She'll get me."

"Then slow down and let her get in front of you." I did as he asked and sure enough, she swerved around us. I refused to look over at her. I knew she was mad. She merged in front of me and slammed on her brakes. I did the same thing so I wouldn't hit her. I heard my dad gasp next to me, but he relaxed when he realized my reflexes were better than he thought.

My dad sighed and shook his head. "She's going to make you do the speed limit the whole way home."

I groaned and leaned back in my seat. I felt like I could crawl faster than I was driving.

When I pulled into my driveway I refused to get out of the car. My mom got our of her car and leaned against the trunk watching me. My dad and I got out at the same time and my mom glared at him. I don't think I've ever seen her look at him that way. I didn't think she had it in her.

"Renesmee, inside." Her voice was cold.

"Relax, it was nothing. I--"

"Now!" She growled. I jumped and ran to the front door. I shut it and spun around to look out the window. My mom stood for a few seconds glaring at my dad. He stepped towards her, but she backed away.

"Don't," she snapped.

"Don't what?"

"Don't try and make me forget I'm mad. I'm beyond mad Edward! I'm pissed! I asked you to take her down the street! Not speeding down the highway. What if she lost control? What if she crashed? She's half human she could have gotten hurt."

"No she wouldn't have. I was with her. She had full control over the car. If I thought she was in any kind of danger than I wouldn't have let her go that far."

"If you thought she wasn't in any kind of danger?!" My mom shrieked. "She was doing eighty down a highway! She doesn't even have her permit yet. I knew this was a bad idea, Edward. She's too young to have that kind of responsibility. And you didn't help either. From now on she doesn't touch that car unless I'm in the passenger seat."

"No," My dad said quickly and I could tell he immediately regretted it. My mom smirked and folded her arms against her chest.

"Why not, Edward?" She waited for him to answer her, but we all knew he had backed himself into a corner. She had him right where she wanted. She was good. "Why?" She asked again. "Because you don't want me in the car with her if something happens? Something like an accident? You do know that wouldn't hurt me. It would hurt her. No matter if I'm in the car with her, or if you are."

"I understand, but it's her birthday I just wanted her to let loose a little. She deserved it." My dad walked slowly towards her. This time she let him put his arms around her. He leaned down and kissed her neck. "You know you let loose the first time you drove as a vampire. I wasn't with you, so I wouldn't know." He mumbled, kissing the other side of her neck. I had to strain to hear him.

"I-I might have," she said breathlessly. I scrunched up my nose and turned away from the window, leaning against the door to listen.

"She's a Cullen, Bella. She's a natural." I could barely make out what he was saying. I didn't want to look either. I covered my eyes and opened the front door. I probably shouldn't have covered my eyes until the door was open because I knocked myself in the head with it. I could hear both my parents laughing. "And she's a Swan." My dad chuckled.

"Yeah, so can I go back to my party? Or am I punished."

"No, you're not punished. Yes, you can go back."

"Can I drive?" I asked my mom.

"I think your car looks good right where it is for tonight." She answered.

"Fine," I groaned.

"I just don't want you hurt." She said as she put her arm around me and kissed my temple.

"I know," I sighed. "I get it."

Derek took both my hands and pulled me away from my parents. "Girl, I thought your mother was going to bring you guys back as fire wood! She was fuming. It was weird--one minute she was gushing over how much you've grown up and she loved the way you and your dad are so much alike, then," Derek leaned over, his arms out in front of him as if he was some sort of monster. His eyes narrowed and his voice turned crackly. "She turned into this evil little thing. Steam came out of her ears and everything!" I rolled my eyes, but let him continue. "She was screaming and yelling about how irresponsible Edward is and that she shouldn't have let you go and you were both dead. Then she ran out the front door. Your uncles laughed, but your grandparents seemed a little worried. For I minute I thought I was in some horror vampire movie. I am now never going to tick your mother off. No way! She tells me to jump and I wont even bother asking her how hi. Oh, no!" Derek's eyes widened as he shook his head. I glanced over his shoulder at my mom smiling at him. "I'm just going to start jumping."

My mom crept closer to him and I bit my bottom lip to keep from smiling. She leaned over his shoulder and he slowly turned his head to look at her. The rest of my family watching with amused looks on their faces.

"Jump!" She hissed.

Derek immediately started jumping and we all burst into hysterics.

"Derek," My mom placed her hands on his shoulders to stop him. "I'm joking, honey. Stop."

"Anything you want." Derek nodded.

"Stop talking like that."

"Right away," he nodded again.

"Derek, none of us will hurt you. I'm sorry if I frightened you, but it's just me. You can relax, and don't talk to me like I'm some higher being."

Derek smiled and relaxed. "You got it, B."

"B?" My mom repeated.

"Er.. Umm… Uh… Bell.. …er, see you later, Ness!" Derek waved as he ran towards the front door.

"Go after him," My mom laughed. I nodded and caught up with him before he was able to make it down the porch steps.

"She was kidding," I informed him.

"I know, but it's getting late anyway. You're mom's pretty cool. I wish my mom was that cool."

I shrugged. "She's young."

"Well you can go back and let her know I'm fine."

"I'll walk you home." I linked my arm with his as we walked. "But that would mean you have to walk back by yourself."

"I can take care of myself. Out of the two of us standing here right now, Derek," I chuckled. "I would win in a fight. I'm stronger than you."

"I know," he nodded. "Why do you think I never go against what you say."

"Derek!" I wined.

"I'm kidding, Ness. I don't care if you're the strongest woman on earth, and trust me the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but you're still my best friend, and I worry about you."

I stopped us from walking and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Aw, I love you Derek! You're the best friend I could ever ask for!"

"Er, Ness, remember when I said the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?" He choked out.

"Yeah," I sighed against him.

"I meant that," he coughed.

"OH!" I jumped away from him. "Sorry!"

"Not a problem, and I love you too, but not in the way where your boyfriend needs to come eat me or anything."

I rolled my eyes. "Trust me, when it comes to a male, female best friend relationship, Jacob is the king."

Derek nodded and took my hand as we turned onto his street. "Well, thanks for walking me home." Derek hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"Thanks for coming tonight. I had a lot of fun."

"Remember me when you start driving that car of yours."

I laughed and nodded. "You'll be the first one I take for a ride."

"I knew you were cool!" He waved and went inside. I turned and walked down the stairs. I took a deep breath and smiled. I could taste him close by. His scent lingered in the air.

Following me, stalker? I asked him silently.

"Me?" Jacob asked as he stepped out from behind a fence. "A stalker? Hardly," he rolled his eyes and walked over to me. "You're father sent me to make sure you got home safely."

"I can take care of myself you know," I insisted.

"Sure, sure."

"Jake," I wined.

He placed his hands on my shoulders and kissed me. "Will you just be happy that he gave us permission to be alone? Besides," he shrugged, taking my hand as we walked the long way around the block to my house. "I still have to give you your present."

"A present?" I asked excitedly.

He nodded, smiling as he watched my face. "You can have it in a little while. Lets just enjoy the time alone for now."

"Ok," I sighed. Being alone with Jacob was a gift in it's own. I would trade any gift I ever gotten just to spend time with Jacob. Even my car.

Jacob laced our fingers together as we walked. The stars shone brightly above us and the air was cool, but tolerable.

"I don't have to go back to my grandparent's house?" I asked when Jacob led me up my driveway.

He didn't answer me, he towed me towards the front door and led me inside.

"Jacob, I don't want to get--" I was silenced by his lips on mine. His arms slid down my back and tightened around my waist. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist. My head was spinning, I didn't realize we were in my room until I felt the softness of my bed against my back. I turned my head away from Jacob's lips so I could breath. His lips never left my skin as he moved to my neck. Without realizing what I was doing until it was too late, my hands were pulling at his shirt until he pulled it over his head. I heard it fall lightly to the floor then his mouth was back on mine. His tongue trailed along my bottom lip and a shiver ran through my entire body. I turned my head slightly to try and catch my breath once more. "Is t-this my present?" I panted.

Jacob leaned away from me and smiled. "Don't be silly, Ness," Jacob sighed and rolled off of me.

I jutted out my bottom lip and he reached over to touch it. "Don't do that, you know how I feel about that."

"It's my birthday, shouldn't I get everything I want?"

Jacob snorted and touched my cheek. "Oh, Miss. Cullen, spoiled little brat."

"Hey!" I yelled and punched his shoulder.

"No, that's not your present, but I couldn't not take some advantage of us being alone."

"You could take advantage again if you want." I smiled crookedly at him.

"Do you want to know what I have for you or not?"

I nodded and sat up. Jacob followed my motion, and pulled something out of his jeans pocket. He held it in his hand and with the other he took my right hand in his, touching my bracelet. "You've never taken this off," he pointed out.

"No, why would I?" I looked down at the bracelet Jacob had given me for my first Christmas. Even though I was little, it meant a lot to get something from him. I never understood the meaning behind it--I didn't know there was a meaning behind it. Until now.

"This, bracelet is something that my ancestors gave as a symbol of devotion, friendship. I gave this to you letting you know I would always be there for you, no matter what."

"Thank you," I smiled as I looked at it more closely.

"But," he took my hand back in his and kissed my wrist. "I want to give you something more, something that doesn't symbolize our friendship, but how much I love you," He opened his hand and I chocked on the sudden lump in my throat.

Laying small and beautiful in his hand was a charm with a single heart shaped diamond, but it wasn't the fact that it was a diamond, it was the color. It matched the color of his fur perfectly. "Oh, Jake," I gasped.

"Now you don't only have my friendship, but you have my heart, too." I looked up at him through my tears. He hooked the charm onto my bracelet and I threw my arms around his neck.

"I love you," I sighed.

"You have no idea," he chuckled.
