Chapter 2: I love you kiddo
A DAY BEFORE GRAD DAY
Bella's POV
A lot has changed over the pass couple of days. I was heartbroken because of what happened with Edward. But I tried not to show it in front of my dad. I didn't want him to see me weak. So I went out and got a new look and tried to get a new attitude.
I was siting in my room listening to music when my dad knocked on the door.
"Bells we need to sit down and pick what college you're going to go to. These papers are filling up my mailbox." My dad Charlie said, as he knocked on my bedroom door.
I turned my music down and opened the door he walked in and sat on my bed.
"So we have Yale, Brown..." My dad sat there and named all the colleges that I got accepted in. Well here's goes nothing I thought to my self.
"Umm dad I really don't want to go to college." I said and I saw my dad put the papers down and stare at me.
"Then what are you going to do Bells?" He asked me and I took a deep breath.
"I want to get away from Forks. I want to go to California. Explore the world down there." I said and my dad eyes shifted.
"Why California?" He asked me.
"I don't know daddy I just feel a strange pull towards it. Maybe something is waiting for me there." I said as I sat down on my desktop chair.
"Come here Bells I think it's time for me to tell you the truth." He said to me at he patted the bed. I was confused but I got up and walked over to where he was patting at and sat down.
"I never grew up in Forks, your mother did. Bells do you remember your uncle Bobby?" My dad asked me.
"The one that I never see?" I said smartly to him and he sighed.
"Me and your uncle Bobby were in a biker gang called 'The Sons of Anarchy' in Charming, California. It was amazing. Everything was going great until I meet your mother." He said as he stared me in the eyes.
"Your mother showed up in the garage one day and we just fell in love. She hated that I was a SON but it was in my blood." Charlie said
"One day she came and told me she was pregnant. I was so happy I was going to be a father. Your mother she wanted to get away from Charming she wanted to move to Forks." He said
"She was making me chose between you and her, or my family in Charming." He said to me.
"I loved the fact that I was going to be a father. Your mother she wanted me to give up my whole life for her. I didn't want to be one of those guys that abandons their family. I didn't want you growing up without a father." He said as tears came out of his eyes. I was pissed not at him but my mother. How could she do this to him?
"I gave up everything for her, my life and my family. So I could be a good father and husband but, after we got to Forks-" He started to say and I interrupted him.
"She left you and took me with her and moved in with Phil." I said and he nodded
"You gave up everything for nothing." I said as I put my head down.
"No baby I gave up everything for my little angel." He said as he cupped my face.
"So the pull I feel towards California?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Are you sure you want this sweetie?" He asked me as he got up and I nodded.
"I will call Bobby ask him if you can come down there for a few months." My dad said as he got close to the door.
"Thank you" I whispered
"Anytime kiddo and oh do me a favor DO NOT AND I repeat DO NOT bring home a biker boy. Don't get mixed up with the club okay sweetie." He asked and I laughed.
"I can't promise you anything." I said with a smirk.
"Oh god" He said
"I love you daddy." I said as I smiled at him.
"One of these days that love is going to kill me." He replied as he walked out of the bedroom and I started to laugh.
Charlie's POV
I took a deep breath as I walked out of Bella's room and pulled out my cell phone. I dialed the number I hadn't used in a very long time. I hear it ringing.
"Hello" A sleepy voice answered
"Bobby it's Charlie" I said as I spoke into the phone.
"Charlie...oh shit is everything okay what's wrong?" He asked in a panicked voice.
"Nothing little brother calm down. I have something to tell you." I said
"I'm listening" He replied. I took a deep breath and hope he wouldn't flip out.
"I told Bella everything." I said in a shaky voice.
"Everything" He replied
"Mhm" I said
"So she knows about us and the 'SONS'?" He asked
"Yeah, she said she's been feeling a pull towards California." I spoke in a whisper.
"What do you mean a pull?" He asked. I could hear that he was wide awake by the sound of his voice.
"I don't know she didn't tell me. I think it would be good if she comes down to Charming and gets to know her uncle." I said as I started to clutch and unclutch my hand.
"It's fine with me. I would love to get to know her Charlie." My little brother said I could tell he was smiling.
"Really" I asked in a shocked voice.
"Yeah what time should I be expecting her?" He asked and I sat then and thought.
"She graduates on Friday I was thinking she could leave right after graduation. Should be there by Friday afternoon maybe a little later." I replied to him.
"Sounds great" He said
"Thanks little bro I love you and keep safe." I replied
"I love you too big bro and I am always safe." He said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes and hung up the phone.
I looked over and saw Bella standing in the door way and she smiled and jumped on me.
"Thank you daddy!" She said as she kissed me on the cheek.
"Your welcome sunshine, now lets go I'm hungry." I said as I put my shoes on.
"Okay give me a second I gotta get my shoes." She replied as she ran out of the bedroom and all I heard was a crash. I ran out to see Bella rubbing her head.
"Ugh since when did that table get there?" She asked and I started to laugh at her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GRADUATION. DAY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Isabella Maria Swan get your ass down here now! We are going to be late for your own graduation." My father yelled from the bottom of the steps and I chuckled.
"I'm coming father hold your horses." I yelled back as I finished my makeup. I walked over to my dresser where my dress hung it was blue and green it was so pretty.
I put it on, then put on my 1 inch heels. As I walked past my bed I grabbed my cap and gown. I took a deep breath as I walked down the stairs to see Charlie trying to put on his tie.
"Let me" I said as I fixed it for him and he blushed.
"Thanks kiddo" He smiled at me.
"Oh by the way nice language there dad." I said with a smirk, as I walked out to the car.
"Thanks" He said with a smile
We were driving to my school I looked down as my dad drove.
"Are you all packed?" He asked
"Yeah everything is packed I just have to get changed before I go to the airport." I replied
"Are you okay?" I asked as I saw him messing with his hands.
"Yeah I'm fine I just can't believe my baby girl is done with high school already." He said
"I know it feels like just yesterday I was siting doing homework." I said
"Bells that was yesterday." He said with a laugh.
"Oh" I said and smiled. We finally pulled up to the school and we ran to where everyone was lining up to go in. I saw my friends. I put on my gown and my hat
"Bells you're next to me" Jessica yelled at me.
We all walk in and sit in our seats. Me just wanting to get this thing over with. We put up with all the speeches. Ya they were boring. Then finally they start to hand out the diplomas. I waited for them to call my name.
"Isabella Swan" My principal said into the microphone. Everyone cheered, I walked up the stairs and shook his hand.
"Good luck at Yale." He whispered in my ear. I laughed. An hour passed and everything was done. Me and dad were racing home. I ran into the house and got changed. I got my bags as I was walking down the stairs my dad saw me.
"Have a safe trip okay baby. I love you and oh here." He said as he handed me a envelope. I opened it and saw at least a thousand dollars in there.
"Dad" I said as I handed it back.
"No, keep it please it will make me feel better oh and here." He said as he handed me police pepper spray and I laughed.
"What, it's just to keep you safe." He said as he kissed me on the cheek.
"You mean it's to keep me safe from any boys?" I asked him
"Hell yeah" he replied
BEEEEEP BEEEEP
I looked up and saw a cab waiting.
"Bye daddy I will call you when I get all settled okay?" I said and he smiled. I carried my bags to the car where the cab driver put them in the trunk and we drove away.
That leads me to now. Here I am sitting on a airplane on my way to California.
