I didn't look back at Jacob as I walked with Edward back to my house. I wanted to cry, but I knew I was with my angel and would be okay. Just before we entered the path to the front door of my house I looked up at my Edward and said the one word that would seal my future forever, and a word I'm sure Alice had seen me saying. I turned to Edward, my Edward, and said, "yes."

It took a moment, then comprehension flashed through his topaz eyes. My favorite smile lit up his face, making him even more beautiful than I had ever seen him somehow. That smile was for me. I made this angel happy. He bent his head down and kissed me so softly and quickly, I'm not sure it really happened. He took my hand with the scar from where James had bit me and held it as we approached Charlie.

"EXPLAIN YOURSELF NOW MISS SWAN!" A purple faced Charlie bellowed out at me.

I sighed softly not knowing where to begin.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS BIKE?!"

He started with an easy question, I wouldn't have to start lying yet.

"I got if from a couple of kids from school. They didn't want them because they were broken down and not working."

I begin. The realize, I said they. As in plural. As in now I'm in even more trouble. Then I got an idea.

"I brought both bikes up to Jacob, figuring he was good with cars, maybe he could fix these up. We planned on fixing it up using as little money as possible, then selling them. There were two bikes, so he must have kept the other one."

"AND WHAT DID YOU WANT THE MONEY FOR?"

"I wanted a better computer, and Jacob needed money for parts for his car. Car parts cost so much more."

I'm a terrible liar, but Charlie must be buying it because his face softened and he asked his next question in a softer voice.

"So you never actually rode it?"

"Never" another lie "and I didn't plan on it either."

"GO!" I looked up at him questioningly. "Get your stuff and get out of here. I never want to see you again. I don't want a liar for a daughter." He pulled out a picture of me ridding my bike with Jacob. "You are no child of mine!"

I started crying like a baby, and fell in to Edwards arms. Apparently Charlie wanted to yell at Edward as well, because next thing I know I was pulled from my Angel and he was being yelled at by my father. Edward motioned for me to go get my stuff while he talked to Charlie. I ran upstairs still crying. I threw everything I owned pell-mell into a duffel bag and grabbed my backpack. I went back down stairs to find Charlie watching TV and pointedly ignoring me.

Crying I went outside and threw my bags in my truck. Edward appeared at my side just as I was about to close the door. I practically fell out of the truck and in to his arms again. He eased me back in the truck and got in himself. I was hugging his arm and crying, while he used the other arm to drive me to his house.

I must have fallen asleep at some point before we got there, because next thing I know, I'm waking up on the coach in Edward's room. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I was very surprised to find that the toilet not only worked, but had a roll of toilet paper by it. When I came back into Edward's room, Emmett was standing by the door.

"How are you doing, Bella?"

"I don't know anymore" I answered truthfully.

"Fair enough" he said smiling at me and pulling me in to a one armed hug. I turned into him and pressed my face against his chest. He half laughed at me as I pulled away embarrassed. "Breakfast?"

I followed him downstairs and was greeted by Edward. The three of us walked outside and climbed in to Edward's car. We drove to an IHOP. It was weird eating in front of them, but down right embarrassing when I realized I was broke and couldn't pay for my meal. Emmett seemed to notice my embarrassment and just laughed at me and pulled a 20 from his pocket and set it on the table and the three of us got up and left, pilling back into the car.
