Lets go camping! NOT!
I gazed out the fog smeared windowsill. Depression inhaled and exhaled my body as I sighed continuously. Being away from Edward was really taking a toll on me. But how could I refuse Charlie? He wanted to spend more father-daughter time. I glanced over to him giving a weak smile, hiding my thoughts. Charlie still hadn't approved of him from the bad year I had previously when Edward left me. Gradually I think their bond is forming, how could he disapprove a man I love? Might as well try on my behalf. I constantly get scared that he'll leave me again. I know for a fact that I'm not good enough, no matter what he says. Doubting him hurts but how could I not when a plain girl like me is with a gorgeous guy like him. I slowly realized Charlie was waving his hand in my face. Immediately I snapped my head up to him.
"Bella, don't act like that" he said shaking his head.
I grunted leaning my chin into my hand, letting my silky brown hair flow out of the window, "Like what?" I asked with a bored tone.
"Like he is your oxygen, ever since we left you've been breathing abnormally and acting strange. A boy like him can't mean that much to you, Bells" he complained glancing between me and the road.
Sighing for the 50th time since we left I glared at him, "I am not abnormally breathing, I just miss him"
"For Christ Sakes, Bella its only been 2 hours since we left!" he yelled, now glaring at the road probably thinking this trip was a total mistake.
"Yeah but 2 plus 5 is 7 hours" I said smiling, trying to ease his tension.
"What does that have to do with anything?" he asked, slightly annoyed.
"Mmm absolutely nothing, just a distraction dear old daddy" I flashed a bright smile.
Charlie slowly cracked a smile, we both sat smiling and for once I thought maybe this trip wouldn't be that bad. The camping grounds we were driving to had a beautiful lake as its neighbor. I knew the only way I could really enjoy myself was to forget about Edward, at least for a couple of days.
Yeah right, I can't do that, I thought miserably. Wow! I really am pathetic…
With everything thats happened, I owed Charlie a lot. Most dads by now would've put their daughter in a re-hab center or forced them to a foreign country to keep away from their crazy adorably sexy hunky slightly psychotic boyfriend. I was afraid of screwing this up. I was more nervous and sad then afraid. Nervous because I knew my old childhood campy-camp buddies Daniel and Damien would be there. Since our fathers went way back and decided a reunion for everyone. I was sad because I didn't really leave on good terms with Edward, he was upset that I'd be spending over a month of my summer break with guys. My dad split us up before I could assure him that Daniel and Damien were safe and friendly guys who were like Jasper and Emmett to me. Then again, I had no right saying that as the truth of not seeing either guys since I was seven which I am now 17. Daniel was eight and would be 18 and Damian was nine and is now 19.
Luckily, Edward gave me a cell phone to use temporarily to talk to him on my trip. He insisted on me having it but me being me, I couldn't accept it. We promised to only talk whenever I wasn't around Charlie. A few more hours passed of driving and Charlie mumbling random things. As we drove, I noticed some cars pass then two trucks stay behind us.
I glanced into the rear view mirror out of boredom and saw a slightly familiar face driving the white truck behind us. He looked young, then a man almost as old as Charlie sat in the passenger's seat. A few minutes passed and I hadn't noticed that I was staring at the young man. The young man, of course, noticed. He grinned then stuck his tongue out at me, wagging it as he drove.
A confused expression scrunched up my face as I pulled my head back slightly staring at him then looked away shaking my head as a memory popped up into my head. Didn't Damien use to do that to me whenever I'd beat him in volleyball? I wondered but wasn't positively sure.
The site of the spacious camp came into view, causing me to brighten my mood. Being cramped into a car full of things made me uncomfortable.
I quickly jumped out and stretched, hearing Charlie chuckle as he climbed out of the driver's seat, "Bella, can you help me unload?" he asked, opening the trunk.
As I walked to the back of the car, I noticed we weren't alone. Two other trucks suddenly parked a few feet away from us, the ones I saw that were behind us earlier. I watched the young man that wagged his tongue at me step out of the driver's seat, stretch then walk over to the other truck high fiving another dude.
Charlie once again snapped me out of my thoughts, "I was going to keep this a secret, Bells but-" he paused handing a cooler to me which I took but suddenly dropped from the weight, I couldn't help but stare at the guys. They were like God on a stick, but not comparable when it came to Edward. Both the guys laughed at me then turned back to unloading as well.
I blushed, mentally cursing to myself.
"Umm, Bells, like I was saying I was going to keep this a secret but I'm hoping that you fall for one of these young men, they're more healthier for you. Plus, I trust them more then-" I cut him off before he could finish.
"Dad, let me put this so you'll understand and let the concept of me leaving Edward or Edward leaving me go" I dropped the things I was holding and gave him a stern look.
"Bella. Edward. Together. Forever. No. Bella. Leaving. No. Edward. Leaving. Edward. MINE. Bella. HIS!" I used hand motions, talking to him like he was a 5 year-old and paused very slowly between each word which caused me to laugh afterwards and pick up the things I dropped.
Charlie muttered a few words then smiled, "Just consider it"
"Not a chance" I confirmed smiling like an idiot, I was happy to make sure Charlie knew how serious Edward and I were.
After about a half an hour of unloading, Charlie finally walked over to the two trucks greeting his old pals. I stood behind him shyly, looking around the place pretending that I couldn't see the two guys or their two dads but I could feel them both intently staring at me which caused me to blush crimson.
The dads finally got over greeting each other, one of the old men wrapped me in a tight hug which did strangely remind me of Emmett, "Bella! Sweety! Look at you! You're so grown-up, a beautiful young lady now, aren't ya? Just so ya remember, I'm Uncle Andy" he said grinning, patting my back a few times and pulled away to examine me more.
Then the other old man came up and ruffled my hair wildly causing my eyes to bug out, my hair was messed up enough but he just made it worse, it caused all the guys to laugh though. Especially the two guys who were cracking up behind their dads. Charlie was standing proudly, glad that his old pals approved of me.
"Isabella Marie Swan! Such a beautiful lady now indeedy, I hope you remember my name" he gave me that you-better-know-my-name-look. Everyone went quiet for me to answer.
Damn, c'mon Bella! Charlie told you their names! REMEMBER!
"Uncle Chuck?" I asked, staring at his shirt that had his name on a patch saying "Chuck"
"Good girl!" he commented loudly, ruffling my hair and causing everyone to laugh again. I felt like a 7 year-old once again with the way they were treating me so far.
Charlie was talking to the two other boys then turned towards me and my "uncles".
"Bells, you remember these two also, right?" Charlie asked. With a silent grin on my face I nodded my head as one of them spoke up.
"What's my name then?" asked the guy that I saw earlier in the white truck who wagged his tongue at me, he took a few steps towards me, standing too close for comfort.
"Its Damien, and you're Daniel" I directed to the other guy. Both of them nodded and smirked, Daniel stood next to Damien. I looked around the campsite then back at our group.
"Bells, us men are going to set up the camp, you can hang for a bit" Charlie explained, starting to carry some things towards the picnic tables. I nodded my head and began to sneak away, I could still feel Damien's and Daniel's eyes on my back, those boys had serious staring problems. I quickly hid behind a tree and called up Edward. He picked up on first ring.
"Bella?" he asked. Just him saying my name made my heart race.
"I miss you so much" I blurted into the phone, causing him to chuckle on the other line.
"I miss you too, love"
"Is everything ok on your end?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Yes, everyone is well except me"
"Why, what happened to you?"
"I feel empty, until you return I'll probably be feeling like this"
"I'm sorry, Edward. I promise I'll call you as much as I can"
"I would enjoy that very much, so tell me what's happened with you"
I talked fast, explaining everything that's happened so far. I knew Charlie would be looking for me soon so I didn't waste any minute talking to Edward. We laughed about some stuff, he made a few comments, we said "I love you" and "I miss you" more then 10 times before Charlie finally called my name and I had to end my call with Edward. I hurriedly jogged back to the campsite, seeing everything set up but the sun would set in about 2-3 hours.
"There you are, Bella. All the fathers are going to go fishing for a bit while you kids stay here, alright?" he commanded. I let out a soft groan, not wanting to be alone with two guys I haven't seen in forever.
"Bells, don't give me that, you can try re-connecting with them, right boys?" he asked firmly.
They both saluted him, "Yes sir!" both sitting down at a picnic table, munching on some chips. They motioned for me to sit across from them. I sighed, patting the cell phone in my pocket wanting to only talk to Edward. Once the fathers were gone the guys and me sat in awkward silence as they ate and I pretended to be interested in my surroundings which by now I was bored of since they vaguely reminded me of the forest near Forks and La Push.
"So, Isabella how-" Daniel started before I cut him off.
"Its Bella, I don't like people calling me by my first name" I explained examining them. They were attractive but not to the extent where I could get interested in one of them. Since my heart was with Edward, my heart had the function to check out hot guys and since I was missing that function these two looked like Mike and Eric to me.
"Ok, Bella. Do you have a boyfriend?" Daniel asked as he glanced over to Damien who was grinning. I nodded my head smiling.
"Oh really"
"Yes, really."
"How long?"
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"How long you two been together?"
"Almost a year" I said while taking a sip out of a juice box.
"Ahh, you guys had sex yet?" Damien cut in. I automatically spit all the liquids in my mouth at Damien, I blushed furiously as he sat there staring at me with an odd(WTF) expression. I coughed a little, choking for a few seconds then cleared my throat and gave an apologetic smile towards him.
"So, I'll take that as a no?" Damien asked, getting a wad of napkins and wiping the contents off his face. Daniel on the other hand couldn't stop laughing at us.
I sighed and shook my head, blushing more then I wanted, he shouldn't be asking this question anyways. The last thing I wanted was to explain to them why Edward and I couldn't get too intimate.
"Why not?" Damien asked slyly, taking another chip to eat, ignoring the fact that a girl just spit in his face.
"Because" I started.
"Because what?"
"Because its none of your business" I stated hotly, but I didn't sound as annoyed as I felt. I got over being sorry for spitting on him, he actually deserved it now. So far their first impression to me was very bad, they got too personal then I wanted.
"Youch! We got a feisty one here!" Damien said laughing, "I like feisty" he said winking while both me and Daniel rolled our eyes which caused us to laugh. Damien's hair was still wet with juice, so he looked goofy to me whenever he'd smirk.
"Make me mad enough, you'll wake up in a tree" I responded, winking at Damien with an evil glint in my eyes.
"You aint strong enough" he said in a cocky tone. I could tell right then he was one of those airhead jocks who thinks no one could ever beat them at anything. Thats why hes such a poor loser, with the tongue thing he always did when we were kids. He'd only do it if he was mad at me for winning or was joking around.
"That's what you think" I flipped my hair, of course I was lying and I knew I couldn't lift him. I was weak enough in P.E.
"Do whatever ya want, as long as your hands touch me, I don't mind ending up in a tree" he began laughing hard, winking back at me. He truly was Uncle Randy's son by the way he talked.
Once again I rolled my eyes taking out my cell phone as I received a text message from Edward.
I miss you…
Alice and everyone else got your number as well so they will be texting or calling. We're keeping a close eye on you, please slap your friend Damien next time he makes remarks like that. He's more disgusting then Mike Newton.
-Edward
I smiled brightly, texted back and looked up at the two who were watching me once again.
"Bella, we're going to go canoing after we're done here, want to come?" asked Daniel who was now eating a sandwich. I nodded my head and reached to grab some chips the same time Daniel was, our hands touched and I quickly pulled away blushing.
Why am I blushing!? I wondered.
Daniel offered the bag to me and I took it, extremely hungry from the car trip. We all started talking about school and our little stories and things going on in our lives. They were more interesting then I thought.
I guess this trip won't be so bad…
ANDDDD the end of my first chapter. :D
