Chapter 1
I'm taking up as of left off in Eclipse
Edward crouched as I climbed gingerly onto his back. With my hands securely roped around his neck, Edward rocketed off at break neck speed, moving so fast the trees blurred into waves of green and black.
Moments later Edward slowed to a stop in the backyard of my fathers house. Gripped with anxiety and fear, I closed my eyes and sighed, about to pass into the possibly traumatic event unfolding in front of me.
"Breathe Bella" Edward coaxed taking my hand in his. I did as I was told and led Edward to the front of the house. I paused at the door, to take one final breath before hitting the frigid waters of the impending doom.
Noiselessly I opened the door, secretly praying that Charlie would not be there. We walked slowly, quietly, cautiously through the house. And as always, Charlie was sitting at the table, eating his p-nut butter sandwich, unaware of the situation.
Charlie looked up at me and smiled, "Hey Bells, Edward."
"Dad?"
"Ya Bells?" He answered turning to face me. "What's Up"
I walked to the table and Edward pulled out a chair for me. He stood behind me, with his hands resting on my shoulders reassuring me with unspoken words. I pulled my hands under the table careful not to let Charlie see the rock for now and for always on my finger.
Edward sensing my fear took the lead.
"Mr. Swan, may I speak to you,┘ privately?" Ha asked motioning to the living room.
"No...", anything you have to say can be spoken in front of Bella." He said glancing at me with curious eyes. I knew he was suspicious.
"Bella and I...," He paused unsure of what to say.
"Well, we came to tell you that, that we have decided to get married." The last few words were almost a whisper. Not wanting to see Charlie's reaction I locked my eyes on the water stain in the middle of the table.
A deep intake of breath and the rustle of movement drew my unwilling eyes to the face of my father. Charlie's head was in his hands, poised in deep thought. I made a move to reach to him, he looked at my hand, the rock in particular. Realizing my mistake, I hurriedly took back my. But I was too slow, he reached for my retreating hand and grasped it in his.
"Bella, please come with me." He said with the air of a troubled soul. I reclaimed my hand and pushed away from the table, Edwards hand was still on my shoulder and I reached up to it for support as Charlie took my free hand. Briskly he led me away from my Edward. I turned away and let Charlie lead my up the stairs and into my room.
I broke free from my captor and sat on my familiar bed, waiting for the onslaught. Moments passed before anything was said, there was only breathing.
"Bella" he asked searching my face, "Please, don't make my mistake, I...I don't think I could take it if he left you...again"
"Dad that wasn't.." But he cut me off.
"Please let me finish." He proposed putting up on hand to silence me. "I've seen what happened when he left and I can't bear to let it happen again. Sweetie, I only want what's best." I wondered if he was listening or consulting Alice for updates.
"Dad" I spoke unsure if he would silence me, after no response I continued, "I know you love me and you only want my happiness, but Edward is what is best for me."
"Are you sure this is what you want, your so young."
"Yes" I replied completely positive of my decision.
Seeing my complete faith in Edward, Charlie took my hands in his and brought them to his lips giving them on fatherly kiss.
"If this is what you want, then I guess I have to have a chat with Edward." He sighed concealing a hidden smile. I stood and hugged Charlie and whispered into his ear, "Thank you".
Charlie got up and exited the room descending the stairs as slow as possible. At the foot of the stairs he paused to glance back up at me. His eyes ushering me back to my room before he disappeared around the corner.
I retreated and flopped down on my bed pulling my pillow close and burring my face in its cool folds. Thoughts raced through my head like feathers on a breeze none staying long enough to be scrutinized. Endless outcomes of the situation flashed around my conscious body. Fear grabbed me, as I flipped over to watch the door handle of my room creak open. Edwards face appeared inches from my own, his body hovering above mine.
His smile confessed it all. He took my face in his hands and gazed into my eyes and I gazed back.
"My Edward," I breathed "My Edward"
His hands as fast a lightning scooped me up and whisked me out the door and down the stairs. His eyes never left my face, even when mine left his. Charlie was at the foot of the stairs, absorbing every possible moment he could.
Edward let me down and I raced to Charlie, wrapping my arms around his neck. My Father hugged me back with one hand extended to my Edward. He took it and shook it firmly, flashing his crooked smile.
Charlie let me go, "Well," He said shuffling his hands uncomfortable, "I guess you have a lot of work to do . I guess I'll let you be off. Now. Ya."" He mumbled opening the door.
"Bye Charlie, see you later" I yelled already out the door with Edward at my heels. Edward got to the door of the Volvo first and opened it like a gentleman. I scoffed at him and climbed in with one last wave to Charlie.
Edward slid across the hood of the car and opened his own door, he froze and nodded to Charlie. Charlie nodded back answering some unknown question shared between themselves. Edward slipped gracefully into the driver seat. The Volvo's engine roared to life and raced onto the street. Edward was in a hurry.
"No rush, Edward, I've got all eternity. At least soon I will." I pleaded, clutching to the handle at the top of the Volvo.
Edward just looked at me and smiled the crooked smile I loved and drove even faster.
