Just leave me alone, Edward" I screamed as I jumped out of the car, slamming the door behind me. I hoped it left a mark on his precious Volvo. "Bella please, we need to talk about this" he pleaded as I stormed up the steps to my house, fumbling with my keys, I felt him hover behind me. At least he had enough sense to not try and help me but apparently not enough sense to just leave and let me think about what I'm going to do. I needed to think and I could not do that with Edward around. I finally got the door open and stepped inside the doorway, I saw Edward look up at me uncertainly, he spoke slowly "you want me to leave" I heard in his voice how much that hurt him, although he tried to hide it. I held my hand out for him, he immediately took it, holding it in both of his.

I sighed "listen honey, I love you but I need tine to think and to be honest" I paused looking up at him, hoping he would not take this the wrong way " to be honest, I need to be mad at you. This" I waved my hand between us " is never going to work unless we have our arguments out, not us just immediately forgiving each other every time because we can't bare being apart or we don't want to argue. It's no good papering over the cracks, we need to talk to each other. We need to talk about a lot of things not just him" he looked at me lovingly. " I know your right we do have a history of things going wrong when we don't talk to each other but I'm not going to change my mind about this its too dangerous" he just couldn't stop fighting me, I dropped his hand "It's not your decision, your not my father, your meant to be my boyfriend. I'm not a child so stop treating me like one, I hate you" I shouted, slamming the door and effectively locking him out and if he knows what's good for him then he won't try the window. I felt instantly guilty for telling him I hated him when I obviously didn't but I pushed my guilt down, he caused the argument.

I leaned against the door, sliding down until I was sitting with my arms wrapped around my legs. I breathed out when I heard his engine start and pull out of my driveway. I stayed there for a few minutes before I realized Charlie would be back soon and would need feeding. I got up and decided to make a stirfry as it was simple and basically we had the ingredients for it. I gently stirred it, it smelled delicious I picked out a bit of chicken with a fork and tasted it to check the meat was cooked all the way through. Just as I put the fork down and was about to take it off the ring, the back door opened and smacked against the wall, taking me by surprise. I jumped back and accidentally pushed down on the handle, causing the hot oil to spill on my arm. I winced, quickly running to sink and running the burn under cold water. "Bella!" Charlie shouted running over to check my arm, he took a sharp breath in when he saw it "what happened?" I sighed " it was an accident, the back door slammed open, I must have not shut it or something, it just gave me a shock and.." I left off gesturing at my arm. He grabbed my keys off the table and pushed me out the door, my dad trying to drive the car was a funny sight, it probably would have more funny if it was not for the searing pain in my arm. He drove quickly, I made a joked about how he was setting a bad example for me but he just looked at my arm. We reached the hospital around 7:30 and I rolled my eyes at the waiting room, I looked at Charlie to suggest we go home but one glare, silenced me. I took a seat while Charlie went up to the front desk, this was going to be a long night.

We were sitting there for half an hour at which point I had drifted off in a daydream when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Carlisle stood there and gestured me to follow him, Charlie silently asked me if he wanted him to come with him but I shook my head. Carlisle led me into a room before turning to speak to me "well I did not plan to see you today, sorry for the wait, I didn't realise you were here" I laughed at him "I'm probably the most hated person in forks at the moment, I never thought anyone could accuse you of favouritism, Carlisle" he chuckled " I may have overreacted a little, I've never had one of my own children in hospital before, ill be glad when you are less breakable, my dear, I know why parents overact so now" I nodded secretly thrilled that he counted me as one of his children. "Speaking of overacting" Carlisle said as he inspected my burn, I raised my eyebrows at him, sometimes I really hated how Edward told Carlisle everything. Carlisle raised both of his hands in surrender "I am totally impartial in this, you need to sort this out between yourself. Please don't be mad at Edward, he didn't tell me without persuasion. He came home and went straight to his room, we thought you had argued about something because he refused to speak to anyone. Then when he did he shouted at Alice for meddling too much in your relationship, which although I agree with, the word choice was a bit harsh. Then when Esme tried to talk with him he shouted at her and stormed out." I saw how upset Carlisle was that Esme had been shouted at "are they ok?" He nodded "after we spoke he apologized but I'm more concerned about you two" I looked at him "I didn't mean it, I don't hate him" Carlisle nodded "I know, I also know Edward can be very overprotective but its just because he's frightened of losing you, he's waited a long time for you and now he can't bear the thought of you being apart from you" I smiled "I love him so much but sometimes I just can't believe how stubborn he is, Jacob isn't dangerous, he's my friend"

Carlisle smiled and shook his head at me "Jacob may not be physically dangerous around you although I must add in that I still think the werewolves pose a risk to you, even though they do not want to hurt you. However I think Edwards worried about something else" I looked at Carlisle confused, he simply shook his head at me bemused "you know, Jacob loves you in a way that you don't return but Edward has no clue how you really feel about Jacob. He's terrified you will leave him for Jacob but he does not want to stand in your way of happiness. He is so confused and what Jacob is doing is not helping.." I held up one finger "what's Jacob doing?" I asked interrupting him. He paused " I wasn't meant to tell you that" Carlisle said slowly " you need to take it up with Edward" I looked at Carlisle carefully " does Edward really think I would leave him for Jacob?" Carlisle nodded, I stood up. " you done here?" I asked gesturing towards my arm. He nodded, I walked straight to the door and down the corridor, Carlisle's laughter about my abrupt leaving echoing down the corridor. I couldn't bring myself to care right now, Edward and i had to discuss a lot of things, not just Jacob. I had put this off for long enough and it was time to talk.
