Stressed Out

CHAPTER 1

"Hi Dad, how's work?" Bella called as Charlie came through the door.

"You know same old, same old. Wow something smells good!" He replied as he came into the kitchen after hanging up his jacket and gun.

"How's school?"

"Same old!" Bella grinned tiredly at her dad as she repeated his words back to him

"Dinners just about ready if you are." she said as she dished it out onto plates and set them on the table.

The only sound for a while was forks on plates and appreciative noises from Charlie as he ate. Once the food was mostly gone Charlie spoke up.

"You haven't forgotten I'm going away in the morning have you?" He asked

"Nope I remembered, When will you be back?" Bella replied

"It's a 3 day conference so I should be home early Saturday morning. Are you going to be alright here Bells? I don't like leaving you on your own!"

"I'll be fine dad, when I told Alice you were away Carlisle and Esme insisted I stay with them until you get back. Alice is so excited about an extended sleep over" She reassured him, grinning at the thought she would be the only one in that house sleeping.

"Oh, well if they're sure then that's great, I'll be able to concentrate more knowing your not all alone here, I worry about you Bells your looking kinda tired recently!"

"I'm fine dad really." She stated " I just have a lot on my mind with finals coming up and graduation and stuff."

yeah she wasn't going to elaborate on the 'and stuff' it would probably give Charlie a heart attack or something. Bella cleared the table and washed the dishes, her mind elsewhere with all the things she did have to think about but couldn't talk the charlie or really anyone about. When she was finished she went to find her Dad.

"Dad, I'm going up to bed now, i've got studying to do and I need to pack a bag to take to Alice's house."

"OK Bella, I'll probably be gone when you get up in the morning, so I'll see you on Saturday. You take care and don't be a pain for Dr and Mrs Cullen." He said as if she were 5yrs old.

Bella laughed. "I'll be good dad i promise, have fun at the conference and be careful." She went over and gave him a quick one armed hug as they weren't really the hugging sort.

"Night dad"

"Night Bells."

Bella made her way up the stairs to her room, she had a quick shower and got her bag ready before she sat down to study. She was finding it really hard to concentrate though, as her mind kept drifting off as she thought of the 'and stuff' she couldn't tell her father. Not only was there finals and graduation, there was also her wedding, her change after the wedding, and having to leave her family behind. She wanted this she was certain of it she could not live without Edward and wanted to be with him forever but that didn't mean that she wasn't apprehensive about it or sad she would be leaving her family. What would they be told, would they need to fake her death, how would her father and mom cope with it. All these things running through her head while she was trying to study for English, then when she finally got to bed the nightmares came. What was Victoria doing, when would she come for her, would she hurt her father or the Cullen's, and then of course there was what would happen with Jacob.

Needless to say when the next morning came around she was just as exhausted as ever.
