Chapter 1

BPOV

I was at Edward's house late again and I had to sneak in past Charlie again. He still didn't know about the Cullen's being vampires or about my being out late every night. Edward offered to drive me home like he always did but this time I wouldn't let him sneak me in, I wanted to try alone to see if I would be able of doing it. When we got to Charlie's house I got out of the car, lightly closed the door behind me and started climbing, I was having a lot of trouble but the branches on the tree were helping a lot. I then put my foot on a branch that I thought would be able to hold my weight so I could let go of one hand to try and grab on to the windowsill. As soon as my hand left the branch it was hold I tried to swing it up but I heard a cracking sound. I looked down to see that the branch my foot was on was falling. I tried to hurry and grab the windowsill but I was too late. The branch my foot was on snapped and I fell. Edward tried to rush over and help me but for once he was too late.

"Bella," he said. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked and sounded very upset.

I heard the door open very quietly and I knew for sure that Edward heard it to. We both looked up and Charlie was there holding his hunting gun pointed towards us. When he saw that it was me bleeding on the ground and Edward next to me trying to stop the bleeding he tossed his gun in the house and came running towards us. "Bella," he screamed. "Are you okay? What happened? Why are you home so late? Edward! Why is my daughter bleeding on the floor? Why did you bring her home so late?" Charlie sounded very mad at me and Edward, but at the same time he looked, relived?

"Dad," I stared to say in a calming voice. "I'm fine, sorry I'm home so late, I was at Edward's house and I lost track of time I didn't want to worry you so I thought I could just sneak in. I tried to climb up the tree but I fell Edward didn't catch me in time but it's okay, I can go see Carlisle and he could fix me right up, but please dad Edward had nothing to do with it." I was telling him almost the whole truth, I was at his house and I did try to sneak in but there was no way I was going to tell him that I was cheating on Edward with Emmett while Edward was out hunting. And I was so happy Edward couldn't read my mind. "…Well Edward I think maybe you should go home now. Thanks for the ride." I said after a long break.

Both Edward and Charlie looked at me with a puzzled look "She's right Edward, you should go home. Say hi to Carlisle and Esme for me." Charlie said after a long pause.

"Alright," Edward said. "Bye Bella." Edward said. Before I got say bye to Edward he hopped in his car and drove off.
