Bella POV:

So here I was in Jake's car on the way to the beach at night. We were just going to build a bon fire and hang out. Some of Jake's buddies came along, Jared and Embry. When we got to the beach we went out into the sand and set up the fire. Somehow Jake dragged me out to put my feet in the water. I didn't tell him that for a normal human it would be freezing. It was so cold that my feet hurt. I tried to look like I was having fun, but on the inside I was screaming at myself to get out. Finally, when I couldn't feel my feet anymore, I spoke up.

"Uh, Jake? It's kind of cold." I said with a pained expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you get cold. Come on, lets get out." I practically went at vampire speed getting out of the water; I am actually very surprised I didn't fall.

When we were all settled at the bon fire, Embry pulled out a few cases of beer. I stared, wide eyed. I already wasn't supposed to be down here because I was grounded, from Carlisle, for breaking curfew last week by almost three hours, and now there was alcohol. I'm dead. Well, since Jake is driving, if he doesn't drink then maybe I will be all right. I won't drink for sure, that would be like tying my own rope to be hanged. I watched in horror as Embry passed a whole case to Jake and he accepted. Each of them had their own case. When they offered me one I just shook my head.

"Fine, more for us." Jared said.

Around an hour later, all of the alcohol was consumed and they were all drunk. I had been sitting there freezing since the fire went out a while ago and no one was in shape to keep it up. I didn't think to keep it going because I was so consumed in trying to figure out what to do. Great, so what was I going to do? I would definitely not get in the car with Jake, but he couldn't drive himself either. I took his keys from his pocket; he was so out of it he didn't realize what I was doing, he thought I was making a move on him.

"Whoa, Bells, a little straight forward. Won't Edward be maaaaaadd? He said, drawing out the last word. I looked at him and decided not to respond; he won't remember it tomorrow anyway.

After I got his keys, I started to walk away. I didn't want to leave them there so I called Billy.

"Hello?" He answered after several rings, he was probably sleeping seeing as how it was nearly one in the morning.

"Hello, Billy, um…I was with Jake, as you know, and um… he and his friends got drunk. I took his keys and I am going to get a ride home, but I think you should send someone to get them."

"He was drinking? That boy! I will send Sam to get them, thank you for the call Bells." He said.

"No problem, Billy. Bye" I hung up.

So, I can't call Charlie because he is out of town. Edward and his brothers are out hunting this weekend and my sisters and mom are in New York shopping, which is the only reason I was able to pull off getting out. I had told Carlisle that I was spending the night at Jessica's because he wanted me to stay with him since Charlie was away. At first he said no because I was grounded, but I told him that it was the last time I would see her before she went off to college. Now I am thinking I should have gone to spend the night there. If I had, I wouldn't be in this mess. Well I guess that just leaves one person I could call, the one person that I really didn't want to. I nervously dialed Dad's number.

"Bella, what is wrong, It is almost one in the morning. Are you all right?" He answered worriedly on the second ring.

"Um…Dad I have to tell you something." I said quietly.

"What is it, Bella?" He asked, giving his undivided attention to what I was about to say.

Finally the stress of everything that had gone on tonight hit me like a ton of bricks. I had lied about where I was, Jake got drunk, I had been out past my curfew again, and now I was walking down the street at night toward the border of La Push talking to my vampire father who was going to be furious with me. I couldn't hold it in anymore so I started bawling. "Daddy…I…please come get me…I'm s-sorry!" I managed to get out between my sobs.

"Bella, sweetheart, calm down. Tell me where you are." He said in a gentle voice. How is he not screaming at me?

"I'm…at the border …of …La Push. Please get me." I cried.

He somehow understood me because he responded, "Okay, I will be there in ten minutes, try to calm down. It will be okay, Sweetpea." He said reassuringly into the phone, using my nickname.

"Okay." I whimpered. He said that he had to get off the phone now but he would be here shortly. I agreed and he hung up.

I got to the border and sat on the side of the rode. I pulled my knees up and buried my face in them, continuing to cry. I don't even think it was five minutes before he got there. He said ten but I imagine he probably went the highest speed he could. His car stopped and suddenly he was next to me.

"Bella?" He called as he pulled me towards him.

"Dad…I'm s-sorry." I buried my face in his shoulder.

He picked me up and sat in the passenger seat with me in his lap. He gently rocked me while saying that everything was all right now. After a few minutes I was calm enough to get out small sentences.

"What happened, Sweetpea?" He said gently.

"I didn't go to Jessica's, I went with Jake to the beach." I let out another small cry, but continued, " We set up a fire and we put our feet in the ocean. When we went back to the fire, Embry brought out beer. Jake took it and in about an hour they were all drunk. I took Jake's keys and called Billy and then I walked here and called you." I had to keep taking breaths while I talked because I was still slightly crying. I held onto his shirt and kept my face buried in his shoulder so I wouldn't have to look at the disappointment that was sure to be shown in his expression. To my surprise, instead of scolding me, he held me tighter.

"Obviously you are in a spot of trouble, Bella, but I want you to know that I am proud of you. You called me when you needed help instead of getting in the car with Jake or trying to walk home. You also didn't let Jake drive himself either. At least that tells me that in a situation like this, you can handle yourself. This doesn't excuse you from the lying, or going to the beach at night where you could get hurt, or sick from the weather, but it does make me proud." He told me while rubbing my back, still rocking me gently.

By now I was only sniffling. He was proud of me? I didn't think that there was much to be proud of, but I'll take it. Now that I was warm, due to the big jacket that I just now realized was around me, and I had told Dad everything, I felt lighter, but absolutely exhausted.

"Lets get you home now." He said softly.

I knew he was talking about his house, which was really my home, and I also knew that I was safe now. Not even a minute into the drive I had fallen asleep against the window of his Mercedes.

Carlisle POV:

I looked at my sleeping daughter sadly, knowing that she had gotten herself in trouble and that I would have to handle it. I would normally be furious but seeing her look so small and fragile while she cried in my arms wiped away any anger I felt. I wasn't lying when I said I was proud of her. I am relieved to know that she knows she can call me when something like this happens. Right now I wasn't thinking of her punishment, I already knew I would have to spank her, but all I was concerned about now was getting her home safe and in bed.

I pulled into the garage and turned off the car. I carried her up to Edward's room and tucked her into the bed he had recently bought and turned on the heat. I stood watching her sleep for a few minutes; she looked like she was going to sleep for quite a while. Shutting the door and walking to my study I dialed Esme's number to tell her of what has happened. After I soothed her worries we continued to talk for a little bit. It was comforting to hear my wife's sweet voice, even if it was just over the phone. I was counting the days until she and my children would be home. After we said our goodbye's I picked up a book to read while waiting for Bella to sleep off the night she had. It was quite a night.

AN: So this is the second installment of the "Not Your Friend" series. So I actually did go to the beach at night with my friends and went into the freezing ocean, which I am now kind of sick from, but there wasn't any alcohol, my mom knew where i was, and my friend got me home by my curfew. Actually I walked in at exactly 10:00pm, my mother was surprised at my punctuality. So was I, I thought I was going to be a few minutes late. Anyway I felt that before Carlisle could do anything to punish her, he must make sure she is okay. I am thinking that this might be longer than the last story because this one involves Bella getting sick, which will make her have to wait for her punishment, but it will give a chapter or two of fluff while our favorite doctor takes care of her. Anyway this was a nice little break from studying, but it is back to the books for me now. *cries* Well at least I am getting smarter. Thanks for reading and please leave a review. –CullenGirl9397
