Edward raced through the trees with me on his back. I was getting sick at the thought of telling Charlie that Edward and I were getting married. I knew I had to do it though and held on tightly.

When we arrived at Charlie's he set me down "everything will be ok love"

I just nodded.

Edward bent down and kissed me before I turned and walked in. Charlie was watching a sports game as usual. I walked in "Dad can we talk to you for a second?"

"Sure Bella" he looked at me then Edward and must have noticed the ring on my finger because his eyes went very wide.

"Dad me and Edward…"

He cut me off "Bella your wearing a ring! On your ring finger!" He stood up and stared at me "No! NO!"

I looked at Edward and he gave me a reassuring nod, I looked back to my dad "Please dad don't over react." I pleaded "All is fine."

"Fine? FINE? You're eighteen Bells! How can you do this?"

"Dad I love Edward and he loves me, it's soon but we both know we'll be together anyway."

"Not while you're under my roof!"

I sighed "I don't have to be under your roof anymore." I said to my feet.

That stopped him in his tracks and he looked at me.

Tears welled up in my eyes and my voice shook "I'm old enough to move out." I raced out of the house; I couldn't look at him anymore.

Edward caught my wrist as I reached the forest behind the house and pulled me to him. I leaned into him and cried. "Bella, Sweet, it's alright. You both just need to cool off."

I held onto him not able to stop the waterworks, I was screwing up everyone's life now! Jacob hated me because I was a traitor now and I don't love him like he loves me. I hurt Edward every time Jake appears in my ranting and he still thinks I'm not making the right choice. Now, I have Charlie angry at me!

Edward scooped me up in his arms and took off at a smooth jog knowing I wouldn't be able to stay on his back. He hugged me close to his chest as he went and hummed my lullaby to me. Soon I fell asleep in his embrace.
