Did you know that Bella's birthday is September 13th (born in 1987)
Bella and Edward are in Bella's room together when who else but Charlie opens Bella's bedroom door. Charlie forbids Bella to see Edward ever again…but Bella has something up her sleeve. She keeps finding ways to secretly get together with Edward behind Charlie's back. Will one of her crazy plans backfire, or will Bella and Edward continue to find themselves running away from the truth and Charlie's eyes.
Edward was lying next to me with his arm around my waist. He brushed his lips across my neck and I sighed softly. It was a miracle that Charlie had not yet found out about Edward sleeping-over almost every night. I had spent much time imagining what that scene would be like, but dismissed it from my mind for the time being.
"Bella, you should really get some rest," Edward whispered into my ear. I said nothing but moved closer to Edward and rested my head on his chest. "If you don't sleep, I will go. You need to rest up for school tomorrow."
"If you leave I vow to never kiss you again," I giggled.
"You know that you cannot go twenty-four hours without kissing me," Edward whispered.
"Ok then, I will simply avoid you," I replied.
"The farther you go from me, the closer you will get to a burning building, or a cliff." Edward raised his hand from my waist and placed in softly on my cheek, before running his fingers down my arm and taking hold of my hand.
"Well then…if you turn me, you will not have to worry about cliffs and burning buildings," I looked up hopefully.
"Not a chance Bella," Edward replied. I turned to face Edward and brushed the hair out of his eyes with my un-occupied hand.
"Not even a little nip?" I joked. Edward said nothing, but shook his head from side to side slowly. "I could always tempt you into turning me," I giggled. I slipped my hand out of Edward's grip and placed my hand palm-down on his cool cheek. Slowly, I leaned in closer to Edward and touched my lips to his. As I did so, Edward used his right hand to pull the rest of me as close to him as possible. I heard a noise from the hallway and pulled slightly away from Edward.
"What's the matter Bella?" Edward asked.
"I thought I heard a noise from the hallway," I replied quickly. "Is it Charlie?"
"Charlie is thinking about the meat-lovers pizza that you guys had for dinner," Edward assured me. "You would think that if he was on his way up, he would be thinking about it."
"You're right, but I need to get some sleep anyways. You can stay tonight," I whispered into Edward's ear. Edward nodded and as I turned onto my other side, he covered me in my quilt. "Edward," I said quietly.
"What?" Edward asked.
"I love you," I replied. I had made it routine to tell Edward that at least 50 times a day.
"I love you too Bella," Edward whispered back to me. My eyes were still open, and I along with Edward watched as my bedroom door swung open quickly. I gulped and stared as Charlie started yelling.
"What the hell are you doing here at midnight?" Charlie yelled. I sat up as fast as I could and threw the covers off.
"Dad, calm down!" I yelled back.
"Don't tell me to calm down when my daughter's boyfriend is sitting in on the same bed as her! You know better than this Bella! Edward, if you don't get out of my house immediately…I will charge you for breaking and entering, and sexual assault! I can assure you that your father will be hearing from me! You are never allowed to see Bella again! If I even hear of you making eye contact with her, you will be sorry! Now get out!" Charlie screamed.
"Dad, calm down!" I yelled as I heard the front door slam shut.
"I will not calm down! I never thought that you of all people would bring your boyfriend up to your room! You have some serious explaining to do!" Charlie yelled.
Tears streamed down my face. "I love Edward Dad!"
"So sleeping with him is how you prove that you love him?" Charlie asked furiously.
"You might like to know that I AM A VIRGIN, AND PROUD OF IT!"
"How do I know that you aren't lying?" Charlie asked.
"Well, unless you've stuck a camera in my room you won't! But have I ever lied to you?"
"I don't know! You might've been lying to me ever since you met that idiot!"
"DON'T INSULT EDWARD!" I started towards the door, but Charlie grabbed my arm and held me back.
"You are not going anywhere! You better get used to being alone, because I'm putting you under house arrest!"
"Dad, you cannot do this to me. I cannot live without Edward! You saw what happened to me when Edward's family moved! You cannot keep me away from him! Besides, I just got my freedom back…you cannot just take it away from me again!"
"I am your father, and what I say goes! Would you rather stay under house arrest or have me get Renee to take you home?"
"You wouldn't!"
"I would and I can! Don't even think about climbing out your window when I leave this room! If you do…things will get a lot worse for you!" Charlie stomped out of the room and slammed my bedroom door shut. I locked it from the inside and grabbed my cell phone from off of my night table. I quickly dialed Edward's cell phone number and waited for him to answer his phone. Three rings and I heard Edward's voice ring through my head.
"Bella," Edward asked, "are you ok?"
"Charlie's put me under house arrest!" I cried. My face was now soaked with my tears.
"We will get this all straightened out, Bella!"
"Charlie despises you now! He has just been so cautious with letting me be around you…and now he has forbidden us to ever see each-other again! I cannot live without you!"
"Bella, even if I have to take you half way around the world just to be with you, I will! But just remember that when you turn eighteen…we can be together without Charlie's permission!"
"But my birthday is three months away!"
"We will find a way to be together, Bella! I promise, and I love you so much!"
"I love you too!" I replied. I turned off my phone and sat in the middle of my bed. Tears continued to stream down my face, and as the night turned into day I sat still.
