A/N: This is actually a Fanfic I posted a couple of years ago that I deleted. I had completed it before, but now I would like to re post it in a revised version. It was sort of popular before, so I've decided to bring it back. I am going to do this in light of a favorite author of mine on this site, who deleted some of her stories, which I had constantly reread and who has now forever barred me from her wonderful words. I do not wish it on anyone. Furthermore, this will begin my challenge to myself to complete all of the fan fictions I have started.
Chapter 1
BPOV:
Edward and I walked up the stairs to my front door, hand in hand and ready to tell Charlie that we were getting married. Suddenly, Edward stopped and I looked at him with confusion in my expression. He swore under his breath.
"Oh no, I never considered that this could happen." his velvet voice tensed as he spoke, eyes glancing toward our neighbors house to the right.
"Bella, I'm sorry but I think we need to hold off on telling Charlie."
In a swift movement he pulled the ring from my finger and placed it in my hand, clamping his hand around mine. I didn't even have time to say anything before the door opened and a red faced Charlie barged out.
"You!" he yelled pointing a finger at Edward.
"I have had enough! I want you both in here right now."
Pulled inside by the fury in Charlie's voice we entered the living room, Charlie standing as Edward and I sat on the couch.
"I'm sick Bella! Sick of you and Edward! I don't want you to see each other anymore" His voice begun to calm, no doubt due to the expression of pain on my face. "At least not for a while. Look at it my way, Bella. First, you get hurt by a misunderstanding, then he leaves without a word to you after." I grimaced at the memory. "I saw what that did to you. What he did." His eyes fell sharply on Edward, on the pain reflection in both men's eyes. "It's not healthy."
"But didn't I still let you see each other, even when I make a point of showing you that I don't approve? Yes. And now- now I hear from the neighbors that Edward is sneaking around the house at four o'clock in the morning. This is not acceptable. Not in this house."
My eyes widened a little as I saw Charlie's face become redder, his voice rising once again.
"I've come to a decision. Now I've considered your 'separation problems' but I still think my decision is best." Charlie set his hand on my shoulder, and squeezed. "Bella, I'm sending you to boarding school. Now, I don't want to hear complains. It won't be forever, it will only be for half the year anyway. Spring Break is in a month, and I'll let you finish school after that here if you choose to. You can see Edward over Spring Break. I've already gotten you enrolled into the school. I'm sure you'll love it, if you give it a chance. It has a great English program." He says with a smile, as though that will change my mind. "Besides, you and Edward need to be able to live without the other for a while. It could be a healthy change."
Done speaking Charlie sat down with a sigh, signifying that he had said his peace. Then realization of his words dawn on me.
"WHAT!?" I screamed furious. "How could you even suggest something like that?"
How could he do that? Take Edward away from me again. How could he, the idea so barbaric and cruel and just after I had gotten Edward back. He wanted me to say goodbye again? I was beyond pissed.
"No, I will not go! End of story. I'll move out too if I have to. I just turned eighteen. I WILL NOT GO!" I screamed.
Breathing heavily I realized I was standing over Charlie, not even realizing I had gotten up from the couch in my rage. I was about to hurl more comments at him when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder that suddenly and forcefully turned me around. My breath caught.
"Breathe, Bella", Edward cooed loudly enough for Charlie to hear. His eyes smoldering and gazed as he looked into mine.
"Bella, maybe Charlie's right. Maybe you should go. Just for two months we can handle that, and at least we'll know we can see each other over the break." What? How could he be okay with this? Edward?
Then he whispered low, only loud enough for me to hear. "It will be fine. I will find a way to see you, and were not getting married until after school is out any way. I don't want Charlie to be mad anymore. I want him to be able to walk you down the aisle and he won't do that unless you do this for him. Please Bella, trust me."
I knew no matter how much it would hurt when I went to boarding school, I could not refuse him. Edward knew how much Charlie meant to me and if this was the best way I would do it. Edward why? I screamed inside my head, wishing for the first time in a while now that he could hear my thoughts yelling about how much I did not like this.
I turned back to Charlie who was starring awestruck at Edward, amazed no doubt that he wasn't putting up any fight to his plan. I scowled at him as he brought his attention back to me showing my great displeasure.
"Fine! I'll go. When do I leave?"
Charlie looked pleased and I glared some more, this time at him and then at Edward whose face was impassive as stone.
"Tomorrow." Charlie stated smugly, and I froze. Tomorrow.
