For the past six months of my life I felt as if I was going through the motions of life, now I could actually start living again.
I laid snuggled into Edward's chest, him whispering encouraging words to try to lure me to sleep.
I hadn't been with Edward for what seemed like an eternity, I wasn't going to sleep any time soon.
I felt his face press into my hair. "Bella please try to get some sleep. You've had a rough couple of days."
He was wrong. I've had a couple of rough months. Actually rough wasn't the right word, there is no word that can describe what the past few months have been like for me.
Lets just say I've been to Hell and back and would never want to go through something like that ever again
"I'm not tired." I mumbled into his chest.
He sighed. "Ah Bella, still as stubborn as you always have been."
We were quiet for a little while, both of us enjoying the others company and taking in each others scent.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
"Mhm." I replied, my conscius lost in the sweet smell of Edward.
"I love you, more then you could ever understand."
I cam back to reality and sat up next to him. "I love you too."
"You know your father isn't going to forgive me easily." He sighed.
I shook my head. "He'll have to if he plans on me still living here."
"Bella I'm breaking his rules right now, well not really since he said I could never walk through his door again and I came in the window but still, he was very serious about me staying away from you. He thinks I'll hurt you again." He said the words so fast it came out as a heavenly mumble.
I brought myself closer to him so that my head was resting on his side and I looked up at him.
"He's not going to know your hear. Unlike me your a pretty good actor and very good at hiding." I teased him.
He chuckled. "But still Bella your in a lot of trouble with him. You don't know this yet but he plans on grounding you for a month, and that means no seeing me. Not that he'd let you anyway."
I groaned in protest at his words of truth. I was 18 years old, my father couldn't ground me.
"Edward he was probably just hot with steam, I'm sure it will all blow over." I said.
I felt him shrug. "Bella I'm not too sure about that."
" I don't care what my dad says or does. As of now I have you, and thats all that matters. I can get through anything with you by my side."
He kissed the top of my head before resting his own on top of mine.
"And I shall remain with you untill you send me away." He said.
"That's never going to happen." I yawned.
The last thing I heard before I fell into a deep sleep was the sound of Edward's chuckle and the sight of his beautiful face.
My eye lids slowly opened and quickly closed.
The light coming into my room was unberable to look at right now, not after sleeping in the comforting dark for the past few hours.
I sat up and yawned while streching my body before turning around to look at Edward.
He wasn't there. He had left me, again.
Panic started wash through me and my heart rate picked up great speed untill suddenly I met his eyes from in my closet.
If I wasn't already in a state of a heart attack I probably would have screamed.
He opened the closet a tiny crack, just enough for me to make him out.
"Bella don't worry I'm here, Charlie just got up so I hid. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
Realif washed through me and my heart started to go back to a healthy pace.
"I'm sorry I thought you left." I whispered.
He shook his head. "Bella how many times do I have to tell you tha-" He stopped abruptly.
"Edwa-" I started but he cut me off.
"Lie down Charlie is coming!" He hissed.
I did as he told and dived back into my bed and curled up into a ball, making the best effort to pretend I was still sleeping. I wasn't ready to face Charlie yet. What was my story?
The door creaked open and I took my place as the sleeping girl who was trying to avoid her father.
"Bella?" I heard him ask.
I stayed as still as I could.
"Bella you awake?" He asked again.
I slowly turned around in my bed, stretching my legs while doing so.
"Hmm?" I asked him.
"Bella we need to talk" I heard him say.
I sat up and he took a seat on the side of the bed. The bed making a squeak as he did so.
"Bella, what the Hell has gotten into you?" He asked.
"Ever since Edward asked you've been walking like your dead and then out of the blue your suddenly with Edward at my door step. You went to Italy for Christ sake!"
I cringed away. Charlie usually never yelled at me.
"I - I'm sorry dad I don't know what got into me." I stammered.
He shook his head. "Bella why did you go to Italy?" He asked.
Why had I gone to Italy? To save the love of my life from killing himself, thats why.
"I uhm..." I was at a loss for words.
"Bella?" Charlie asked again.
I let out a sigh. "Edward had uhm, asked me to uh, go on a vaction with him. A sorry vacation for what he's done to me." I lied. I really hoped it was ok with Edward what I said, it seemed as if I was blaming him for everything when really it was all my fault.
"Wait, you and him are back together?" He asked.
"Yes, we are." I replied.
The room was silent for a moment.
I looked at the closet for Edward's eyes and he was starring back at me. I couldn't read the emotion in them, and wasn't really sure if I wanted to either.
"Bella," Charlie said with caution. "I will not allow you to see Edward, at all. No contact with him either." He said.
It felt as if my world was falling apart all over again. He couldn't tel me what to do, I was 18!
I looked to the closet for help and his eyes stared right back at me when suddenly I met charlies gaze, which had traced back to where mine was. Oh no.
My eyes widened and so did Charlies as he got up from the bed and went over to the closet.
He looked inside for a moment before opening it, my heart going at a million miles an hour.
I could literally feel Charlies fury rolling off him as he slowly turned to face me.
"He stayed here with you!" He screamed.
I cringed into my pillow, afraid of what might happen. If Edward didn't get his way or if charlie said anything about me, Edward wouldn't be afraid to tell him off. No matter how polite he is.
Edward had stepped out of the closet, his eyes full of ancient grief and sadness. Was he giving up on me so soon?
I go up ran over to him, hugging him close to me and his arm wrapped around me.
"Dad I'm 18, you can't stop me from seeing him." I shot at him.
He scoffed. "Under my house and my rules you will not see him, ever again. Your lucky I'm not calling the police about this!" He pointed at Edward.
I rolled my eyes. "Dad you are the police, the cheif to be exact."
"Bella tell Edward good bye, we have a lot to talk about."
I shook my head and my grip on Edward tighend as his did as well.
"No."
His face grew annyoed. "Bella now." He said sternly.
Again I shook my head and clutched onto Edward. "I said no."
I looked up at Edward. His eyes kept shifting from me to my father and back.
"Bella I will give you one last chance, tell him to leave now."
"No."
Charlie shrugged. "Fine, get out of my house."
I looked at him stunned.
He nodded his head. "Yup you heard me right both of you get out of my house. You say your 18 and don't have to listen to me fine then you can move out. Grab your things and leave."
With that he walked out of the room and slammed the door.
I stared at the door, my mouth wide opened, unable to speak.
Edward turned me around to face him. "Bella are you ok?" He asked.
I didn't answer. I closed my mouth and wiggled out of his hold.
"Bella?" He asked again.
I shook my head as I went under my bed and brought up an old duffle bag.
My own father had just kicked me out of my house.
"Bella, love, I am so sorry, more sorry then I can tell you. This is my fault. Do you want me to talk to him?" He asked.
I shook my head and continued to pack, only the small things that I needed.
When I finished i sat on my floor with my head in my knees, and started to weep.
I felt two arms snake around me and pull me into his chest. I started to cry into his chest, ruining his shirt with my salty tears.
"Ed-Edward where will I I go?" I cried into his shirt.
I felt him rub my back and coo to me. "Bella love, of course your coming with me, where else would you go?"
I had started to stop crying a little. "Y- you wo- would let me come with you?" I asked.
His eyes were soft and he nodded. "Of course love, I would do anything for you. I love you."
I hugged him tighter to me. "I love you too."
He then had picked me up in one arm and the duffle bag in the other and jumped out my window, heading towards his Volvo.
