"I can't believe that we're about to do this!" Edward muttered as we drove toward my house "you're right, it is good that I'm bulletproof."

"We have to do this right; I'm not just leaving Charlie without an explanation." I was amazed that I could make any sound at all; I was so preoccupied thinking about what Charlie would say. Edward sensed my tension and reached over and kissed me lightly on the head

"There's nothing to worry about." he said. I looked at him in my 'yeah, right' way. "OK, there is, but he'll get used to the idea" he corrected himself

"I hope so." I mumbled

"He will" he said so confidently that it was hard not to believe him. Before I could say anything, Edward's phone rang. "Hello Alice." he muttered quickly. There was a pause for her response. "OK, don't worry, I can handle it. Thanks for the warning." And he hung up.

"What is it?" I asked urgently.

"Nothing." He said. I glared at him. "OK, fine… it's about Charlie"

"What's wrong?!"

"First off, he's fine. He's just going to be a bit upset when we tell him" I glared at him again, knowing that he was editing. He didn't respond.

"What's going to happen?" I asked, already wary.

"Well… don't freak out but, he's going to get his shotgun and… try to shoot me and faint when it bounces off."

"Don't freak out?! He's going to know that there's something inhuman about you," even though that was true, I didn't want Charlie to know "he's already said that you were strange!"

"Don't worry, I can talk him out of thinking that anything's wrong with me." He assured me.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with you" I said, leaning my head against his arm. He put his arm around me.

"That's a little off topic isn't it?"

"So?"

I think we should be worrying about Charlie thinking that I'm a monster… well, knowing" he said.

"Very reassuring for someone who's going to be just like you in august?" I said sarcastically. Then I noticed that we were in front of the house. I gulped. Edward chuckled.

"You're pale" he observed "are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, concerned. I couldn't speak so I just nodded. "Everything is going to be fine" he said and slipped the ring on my finger. It still amazed and scared me. It was beautiful and frightening, but the beautiful was far more powerful… like Edward, except, in his case, a thousand times more powerful.

"Let's just do this." I sighed. He looked at me, concerned, still letting me back out. Then he briefly pressed his lips against mine. Then he got out of the car and almost simultaneously opened my door.

"Let's hope Charlie didn't see that one." I warned.

"Like I said, it's too easy to be myself around you, but he didn't, he's watching the game."

"Ok, let's go." And he put his arm around me and led me to the door, ready to push me behind him if Charlie didn't have the best aim. I unlocked the door.

"Bella?" Charlie asked

"Yeah, dad?"

"You're home late"

"Sorry"

"I don't mind" he said gruffly, I could tell that he did mind, especially that I was with Edward.

"Charlie, could you come in here?" Edward asked in his angel voice. Charlie walked in, looking at Edward suspiciously.

"Me and Bella have something to tell you." Edward called. Charlie walked in and I shrunk next to Edward.

"What is it?" he asked suspiciously.

"Bella and I are getting married" Edward said simply, allowing for no discussion. Charlie was suddenly pure white. He stumbled two feet towards the closet door and sagged against it. When he realized where he was, he fumbled with his sheriff's belt. Edward pulled me behind him.

"Charlie," Edward said calmly, "doesn't shoot."

"And why not?" Charlie demanded. "Why shouldn't I shoot right now?"

"Because, and I hate to bring this up, but you remember the last time I was gone" Edward said, trying to guilt trip him. "And think what she would be like if her own father forced that on her."

"She'll get over it" Charlie said but I saw the pain in his eyes. I knew that this hurt Edward too but he had to stop Charlie. Then he was overtaken with a wave of fury and fired. I screamed. But I was on the floor instantly, Edward holding me down.

"Stay right here" he whispered and was on his feet in an instant. "Please, Charlie, you could have hit Bella." he said. I saw some serious pain in Charlie's eyes as he absorbed that. After a moment, Charlie had had enough.

"GO!" Charlie shouted, "GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK HERE!" I was shocked. Was he speaking to Edward or to me, or to both of us? Edward helped me up hastily and pulled me out the door.

"That could have gone better." Edward muttered.

"At least he didn't hit you." I mumbled.

"Yeah, then he could have blown an artery in his forehead."

"did you make that up or did Alice see it?"

"I made it up, I don't think that blowing a forehead artery is even physically possible." we were in the car now, driving down the road.

"Why did Alice get it wrong?" I asked

"I didn't plan on bringing up those memories, it made his aim worse, he was going to hit you. You really shouldn't have been sticking your head out from behind me like that."

"Oh" was all I could think to say.

"He's going to explode if we try to go back to get your things so I'll drop you off at our house and run to get it. Don't worry, I won't leave anything."

"So this is it? He hates me?" I could feel tears flowing freely from my eyes.

"No, Bella, he doesn't. He hates me. I am so sorry for making this happen"

"It's not your fault, I was the one who insisted that we do this" I sobbed. He started to hum my lullaby in my ear. He set me on his lap where I curled up in a ball and just cried. He gently stroked my hair and hummed.

"I'm sorry. I love you, Bella" he murmured. I don't know how long we sat there but then Edward's cell phone rang. "Alice, can you say whatever it is you want to say later? He whispered. There was hardly any pause and I couldn't hear the read of the conversation, it was way to fast for me to hear. Finally he said, "Fine, we'll be right there." and he moved me to my seat and turned on the car.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Charlie is looking for you… at my house." He said. I was shocked. He just kicked me out of my house and was at the Cullen's now? That simply did not connect. We were there in less than a minute. The cruiser was in the driveway. Edward helped me out of the car and into the house. In the house, Charlie was standing a few feet away with all of the Cullens standing in front of him. It took him a minute to notice that we had arrived. He spun around.

"Isabella Swan, get in the car." he said with authority.

"I thought that you kicked me out" I countered.

"Get in the car." he repeated impatiently.

"No. I will not get in that car."

"GET IN THE CAR NOW!" he shouted. Edward shifted protectively in front of me. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" he yelled, outraged.

"You're not keeping me from my fianceé!" I yelled. I felt a shock go through all of them; I hadn't used that term… ever. Charlie was shocked. I noticed that I was clutching Edward's arm, something that I seemed to have done as I was shouting, but I don't remember doing it. "Charlie, please, I love Edward, don't make me leave him." I said quietly. Edward put his arm around me, now that the tears were flowing again.

"Charlie, this is hurting Bella to say all this to you," Edward said "but wouldn't it be worse without a warning, like I was trying to convince her of doing? I'm sorry for trying to do that." he said, switching to talk to me. Charlie just stood there, at a loss for words. "Charlie?" Edward whispered, worried. Charlie muttered something unintelligible.

"Well then" Carlisle said after a minute, ending the tense silence, "how about some dinner?" I tried hard not to laugh; I doubted there had ever been food in this house. Charlie just stared at him but he was going to regain his voice soon, I could tell. I wondered if he had called Renee. I shuddered at the thought.

"Well, I think I'll go get pizza, I don't think we have much to eat here." Edward said, interrupting the silence this time.

"No, no, we'll leave." Charlie said attempting to sound casual, but I didn't miss the "we" that obviously meant me and him.

"Alright, let's go then." Edward said, challenging him.

"Me and Bella need to talk alone." Charlie said. Edward looked from him to me then sighed and nodded reluctantly. I sighed as we slipped apart and I followed Charlie through the door. We drove home silently. As we walked in, it felt like I was going into a stranger's house; that realization startled me. Charlie used the phone to order pizza and walked into the living room. He beckoned for me to follow. I did. He turned on the lights and reached for the remote out of habit but threw it aside. We sat down. "How could you, Bella?" he muttered so quietly I wasn't sure I was meant to hear but decided that I was.

"I love him, dad, don't you realize that?" I whispered, my voice cracking at the end.

"Yes, I know that you love him, but getting married right out of high school? It's insane."

"Not for us."

"Yes it is… for anyone, no matter how much you love him." I knew he was referring to him and Renee.

"It's different for us."

"How? How is it any different?" he asked, a bit louder and angrier than before.

"I can't explain it, it just is."

"Bella… that is exactly what I thought before I married Renee. And look at how that turned out."

"It's different" I repeated.

"No, it's not, it's exactly the same!" he didn't know how wrong he was.

"I thought that you wanted me to be happy." I whispered, hurt. I knew he wasn't going to like the news but I didn't expect it to be this bad. He didn't have an answer to that. With that, I trudged up to my room. As soon as I was in, two things happened simultaneously, I was crying, again, and I was in Edward's arms.

"Bella, I am so sorry, I know how much that must have hurt you." I couldn't speak; the sobs were making any other noise impossible. It took me a long time to regain control

"I have to get out of here, Edward." I whispered.

"Where to? I don't care where as long as we're together."

"The meadow?" I asked.

"We were just there." he pointed out,"I don't mind but are you up to running?" I nodded. "OK, but we should pack your things… unless you want to come back later?"

"No, I don't, just let me say goodbye to Charlie."

"How are you planning to do that?

"I'm not quite sure yet." I admitted

"Alright" he said, worried. Then he kissed me. It was an apology and a reassurance. Then he released me to talk to Charlie while he gathered my things. I walked downstairs slowly. He was sitting on the couch with the TV on but I knew he wasn't really seeing it.

"Charlie?" I asked cautiously. He didn't answer; he just shifted a little bit in his seat. "Please don't do this to me, Charlie" I begged, hoping he wasn't going to keep giving me the silent treatment. Then again, if he was silent he couldn't shout, but I still didn't want him to ignore me. "Charlie, I've got to tell you something." I said.

"There's more?" He asked

"No, it's sort of part of the last thing" I said truthfully "but I'm not sure if you had guessed it already." I paused.

"Well than, get on with it, before I start to believe that it's something stupid like moving out." He said sarcastically.

"Well…er… "I muttered "you sort of got it right." I said quietly. He didn't say anything, but his shoulders fell and he turned to look at me, I was bright red. After a very awkward moment, I had to say something. "Charlie?" I asked, wondering if he had gone into shock, he probably had.

"W-w-what?!" he stammered. I shrunk back, there was shouting coming. "YOU'RE MOVING IN WITH H-HIM?!" I was right.

"Yeah…" I muttered. Charlie was silent again, gaping at me. If it hadn't have been such an intense moment, I would have laughed; he really looked ridiculous. "Alright then, I guess this is goodbye." I said and felt the tears coming.

"b-but why?" he murmured, he looked so sad, I started to cry. "Why so fast? Couldn't you have given me a little warning?" he asked, getting angry. I couldn't answer; it was all I could do to stop the sobs.

"I'd have been going to collage soon anyway, dad" I said "it's not like I'll be gone much sooner than you expected me to be."

"You aren't planning in skipping collage, are you" he demanded

"No, dad, we're both still going." I hated the lie.

"Oh, good." he said. "So, when's the wedding?" he asked as offhand as he could manage but I knew that it hurt him to ask.

"Sometime before August 13, I don't know the exact date yet; I agreed to let Alice plan it." He nodded

"Why August 13?" he wondered

"I had to give Alice a deadline or she could work on it for years." I said glad that the conversation was taking a less painful turn. I bet Charlie wouldn't have minded if Alice hadn't been given a deadline. Now I was looking for a way to excuse myself from the room. I chose a really pathetic excuse that I had to go to the bathroom. As I was walking out, I turned around, I couldn't just leave. "Well, goodbye Charlie." I whispered and ran upstairs.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked as I opened the door, sobbing for the forth time tonight.

"Let's just go." I said, avoiding his question. He came over to me and gathered me up in his arms.

"Are you alright?" he repeated. I shook my head slightly. He hugged me tightly to his chest. "I am so sorry."

"Why do you keep saying that? You didn't do anything." I said.

"I am sorry that you're hurt." he answered. "are you ready to go?" he asked. I wasn't sure if he meant forever.

"I'm ready, let's go." I whispered. Without another word, he picked up my bags, put me on his back and jumped out the window. "What is Charlie going to think if he comes to check on me? We can't take my car; I can't stand him coming to your house again."

"We left the window open." he reminded me "a second story window isn't unheard of for normal boyfriends."

"I know, but running to your house? Its miles away." I countered.

"Less likely but still not unheard of." he muttered. he was making sense but I was being a pessimist. the trip to his house was nice, i liked the way that the cool night air blew against my face. it was over all too soon, we were at his house and i knew we were about to be bombarded with questions from Alice.

"What happened?" Alice asked, as I predicted. "Did he shoot? Did he hit? Did he freak out?"

"Yes; no; yes, but not for that reason." Edward said calmly.

"I was wrong? Than what happened?" Alice continued.

"I brought up somethings that I wasn't planning to and his aim was bad." Edward said, editing out the details. Alice just nodded, understanding that he wasn't about to elaborate. "We're going back to the meadow, can you take Bella's things to my room?" Edward asked

"Sure." Alice said, then she grabbed my things and was out of the room in a second. I was impaitent to leave.
