Love story

Bella was in her room upstairs, getting ready for her date with Edward, her boyfriend. They knew each other ever since grade school but Edward only asked her out two weeks ago. She was so happy when he asked her that she nearly trampled her best friend, Lora. Bella was almost running to Lora's locker to tell her the news, when they ran smack into each other. Bella had to repeat herself three times before Lora understood what she was saying because she was laughing so hard.

Bella sat in front of her mirror and tried not to smile as she remembered that day a few weeks ago. 'The best day of my life.' she thought. These last two weeks were the best Bella ever had. Bella twirled around her room as she looked back at them. She still felt his gentle lips against hers and the soft touch of his fingers on her neck and back. Bella had other boyfriends before but none of them sent a shock through her like Edward did. It's like nothing Bella ever felt before. It's true love.

"Bella" Her father called from downstairs. She knew that tone of voice. He wanted to "talk". 'This will be fun.' Bella thought as she rolled her eyes and walked down to the living room. She was in too good a mood to be worried, which changed pretty quickly when she saw her parents. Bella's parents sat on the sofa, holding hands and worried expressions on their faces. "Bella, we need to talk to you about your boyfriend." Her father said as she took her seat on the chair in front of them.

Bella narrowed her eyes at her parents. 'This can't be good.' She thought, and then said a loud. "What about him?''

Bella's mother answered first."Sweaty, you need to break up with your boyfriend."

"What? Why?" She yelled and stood up from her seat.

"Bella..." Her mother started but her father cut her off.

"Let me handle this, Honey.'' He said, and then turned back to Bella, looking her straight into her eyes. "Bella, I don't want you anywhere near Edward. He is not good for you. Stay away from him."

"No. I won't, Why? And how do you know what's good for me and what is not." She yelled at her father, Now fighting back tears.

"I know because I'm your father."

"Is that all you got because that is the lamest excuse I have ever heard. No one ever knows who is right for you. I love him dad and I'm not about to give him up just because you tell me to."

Her father got up and put his hand on her shoulder. It took everything Bella had not to shrug it off."No Bella, stay away from Edward. Just trust me. You'll thank me for this someday."

Bella bit her lip as a warm tear slid down her cheek."I really doubt that. Thanks for ruining my life." She said as calmly as she could then she push his hand off her shoulder than ran back to her room. She jumped onto her bed and put her face into her pillow. 'How could they do that to me?' They had to be so controlling. It isn't fair.

Bella parents were only saying part of the reason why they wouldn't let her see Edward and she knew it. They thought that Edward wasn't smart or responsible enough because he played football and was a jock. They were wrong. Edward wasn't like that. He was sweat and caring. He took care of Bella and stood up for her. He protected her from the world. He always has, even before they were going out. Edward tried so hard to get her father to like him but he was too stubborn to let Edward in. They only approved of people for advanced classes in school. People with high IQ's and are well known around the school as one of the smartest students. That's why they approved of her other boyfriends. She always got stuck with nerds. She liked some for a while but they just weren't Edward. 'I didn't love them like I do Edward.' Bella couldn't break up with Edward. She just couldn't. She loved him more than anyone else in the world. Bella knew it had only been a couple of weeks that they have been going out but when they kissed, she knew he was the one for her.

But how will she see him? Her father will make sure of it that she won't see him after school. Bella wouldn't even be surprised if he had her followed. He had to control everything he can. There was school but she only had one class with him and they had different lunch pirodes. So school was useless.

'I must find a way'. She thought determined.

Bella then heard Edwards truck come down the road and into the drive way. She pressed her ear on the door of her bedroom so she could hear what was being said below.
