(This story takes place right after the last chapter when Bella and Edward are leaving to which tell Charlie that they are engaged! Please read and review truthfully. Thank You!)
Chapter 1: Fight
I let Edward drive, I was lost in thought. How were we going to tell Charlie? His head would probably explode. I can see it now, him yelling at me.
He has always lectured me about getting married out of high school and about how it is the most nefarious thing imaginable.
Now I had to walk up to his face and tell him that I'm in love and getting betrothed to Edward, the most flawless and impeccable man to me, but to Charlie he was relentless.
I could feel the tension building up inside me as I walked up the stairs to the porch. My hand shaking as I unlocked the door. Edward noticed and grabbed my hand and pulled me to his frigid chest. My relentlessness disappeared into thin air when he stated and assured me that everything was going to be okay.
Charlie must have heard the door and looked out the window to see my arms around Edward's waist. I heard the drapes move as Charlie pushed away to open the door.
"Bella, get inside before you get all wet." Charlie said with a snarl. I hadn't even noticed that is was beginning to rain.
He looked at Edward, probably hoping he was only dropping me off and began to shut the door. Edward caught it quickly with his foot. "May I come in?" Charlie stayed put and rolled his eyes so I pushed the door open with my left hand and apparently Charlie saw my ring, he froze, turned completely pale and escorted himself to his chair to slump over like a potato.
"Seems like this will be harder then I thought," Edward whispered while leaning into my ear. I nodded.
"Dad…er, can we talk?"
"It matters on what it is about."
Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me slowly by him to sit on the couch. I leaned on his chest and inhaled. It smelt amazing. Edward chuckled with my favorite half-smile grin on his face. Without thinking I stated, "Dad, I'm getting married to Edward."
"NO." Charlie muttered and I ignored him.
I stared at Edward's mother's wedding ring, strikingly beautiful as the gold band ran around and met with the larger exquisite diamond that was surrounded by a smaller, yet still dazzling diamond arrangement. I examined it with much pleasure. It was breathtaking. I loved it.
"Bella, why are you throwing your life away? How could you make the same mistake that I did?" Charlie had to have seen the ring.
"Dad, I know what I am doing." I stated.
"NO YOU DON'T! Why do you think you should get married right now?! You are only 18! That is so stupid!" He was raiding at me when he did the same exact thing when he was younger. He was mad; his face was red with hatred.
"Dad… I love Edward more then my own life!" I yelled and my tears started to flow out even when I tried to stop them.
"Bella, your young, you should wait 'till after you go to college! You don't even know what love is or how it feels!" he just kept yelling as he rose to his feet.
"Dad I know three things for sure, I love Edward, Edward loves me, and we are getting married whether you like it or not." I spoke calmly while trying to breath.
I leaned over on Edward's chest and he kissed my forehead. I faced upward and stretched upward to kiss his icy lips. I forgot Charlie was even there so I froze but was too horrified to turn around to my furious, over protective father.
"Dad you-" he interrupted me as he began to yell. "Bella, you would not be getting married if Edward never returned after he left your ass here in forks!" he yelled and my tears began to flow out again.
"Dad, he left to protect me and-!" he interrupted again. "How the hell do you leave someone to protect them?!"
"Dad, this..is..my decision...and you clearly..told me..to give you.. a heads-up…on everything..in my…life!" I screamed at him between sobs and knew no one could understand me. I was too worked up now.
"Dad, I love him!" there was a long pause before anyone spoke.
"Edward Cullen…..GET OUT!" he yelled so hard with his eyes locked on Edward's face that the floor shook and Edward shuttered. I had never seen Edward shutter. How could Charlie be so heartless?
Edward looked at me with a plead for help in his clear, liquid topaz eyes then stood up and escorted himself to the front door. "Dad, if he goes, I go."
"Bella, Love, please. I love you but this clearly won't work out how it did with my parents." Edward said in his smooth, understanding voice.
"Well, What was your parent's reaction?!" Why wouldn't Charlie stop yelling at Edward? It hurt me to see him yelled at.
"Dad, they were fine with it and congratulated us." I said in a low voice, calm and close to a whisper.
Charlie snorted, "hhmmpff!"
"Good-Bye Bella. I love you." Edward spoke slowly and stepped out into the rain.
Charlie walked over to the door, and then called, "Edward, I don't want you between one mile of my house or Bella!!"
Charlie! How could you?!" I yelled and my ears shook. I ran to the door and pulled it open. Charlie caught my shoulder and spun me around to face him. I pulled clear of his grip as he locked the door.
I ran up the stairs, balling my eyes out when I heard Charlie bellow up the stairs to me, "And he's not coming back!" I yelled back, "Then I'm leaving!"
"Not with me here. I will never leave just to assure that you don't marry that monster!" he called again as I sobbed my way into my room.
"Then I want to become a monster too." I whispered.
I ran in and knew I couldn't make it much further. I fell on my bed with my head hurting from crying. I wailed away into my pillow, thinking of what Edward said as he left. Was it really over between the love of my life, or was it a cover-up?
Something cool touched the back of my neck and yelled, "Charlie! Leave me alone!" without lifting my head, I reached around to slap him but something else caught my hand. I turned my head to see a stranger in my bedroom.
