Bella Pov

I heard Charlie walk through the door and waited for her to go off about our previous argument. Nothing? Was I hearing correctly? I came out of my room and waited by the top of the stairs to see if I could hear better.

"Hey Sue," Charlie went through his usual routine of taking off his equipment and hanging it up. He entered the kitchen and kissed Sue on the cheek, their only form of physical affection. It was safe. "Is Bella home from the Cullen's yet?" His attitude became sour at the sound of their name.

"Oh, is that where she was? Well now I feel just awful. I yelled at her when she came home because of not know where she had bee. That caused her to get upset and storm up to her room. I can see where she got upset though I mean she probably told us about a thousand times that she'd be there I just forgot."

Liar! What a Liar! Of course she knew I was at the Cullen's. Either I was there or he was here everyday after school, the only time I was allowed to see him. After the stunt I pulled of running away to Italy for 3 days only to return with the ex boyfriend that Charlie said 'didn't deserve me' Charlie restricted the time we were allowed to spend together. These restrictions Edward of course agreed to. He still blamed himself for leaving and putting me through hell (although I'd long forgiven him knowing he was never much better off than me), he still needed to regain Charlie's trust. To regain said trust he did everything he could in his power agreeing with anything Charlie said. And Sue knew all of this, so if she knew, why did she yell at me? I knew very well why because she hated Edward, just as much as (if not more than) Charlie did, but at least she had her reasons. Edward was a vampire which made him an ancient enemy of werewolves which coincidentally the teenagers on the La Push were, including her two children. Now of course Charlie still knows none of this, he just hates Edward. He hates him for everything that happened to me when he left and Charlie's hate only fueled Sue's even more.

"It's okay," Charlie said. "I'm going to go upstairs to wash up anyway, I'll talk to her."

"Thank you, I do feel bad that I upset her. Tell her that dinner is almost ready."

Feel bad my butt, wait coming up to talk to me? Why not just wait until we're all together at dinner to talk it out? I ran into my room before Charlie could reach the stairs and catch me listening, and jumped onto my bed. I grabbed my copy of Pride and Prejudice and started to pretend to read. Charlie knocked and the door creaked open.

"Hey Bells, dinner is almost ready if you want to go ahead and head down."

"Okay thanks dad." I dropped the book and got up to head downstairs.

"Hold on there kid. Sue said you guys had a bit of an argument when you got home today."

"Dad, I don't want to talk about it."

"Bells we have to. She's having a hard time with everything and you're not making it any easier on her."

I'd heard that one so many millions of times before. I didn't wan to yell at him, I didn't plan on it but at that something inside of me snapped and I went off!

"I don't make it easy on her? Seriously now dad, it's been months since he died and you can't say she hasn't moved on because look at your guys' relationship. She lives here and takes care of you and me as a wife and a mother not to mention Seth and Leah are here when they're not at the Res. She's moved on with you and you with her, but you two won't admit it because you would never disrespect Harry in that way. I know that I understand that and I try to be as understanding and compromising as possible, but you two don't make it easy on me either." Angry tears were flooding down my face and Charlie actually looked speechless. "You don't let me see Edward ever and you don't attempt to hide your hatred of him when either of us or both are around. Sometimes you make me feel like I have to choose between the two of you. It kills me to see you heart broken when I choose him over you, but you make me chose dad, don't you see that?" I had completely lost it now tears just flooding down my cheeks.

"Bells," he tried to interrupt and reached out towards me to comfort me. But I wasn't done yet.

"No!" I pulled away from him. "I want to know how I have not made it easy on her. I let her move in here with us, I take a back seat in your life to her, and I don't complain. It's not like this is all recent either dad She's been here for a while and you ignore the fact that you two are in love and that she's her and that she has totally thrown our family dynamic out of whack." I walked out of my room and down the stairs but Charlie stopped me at my destination of the front door.

"Bella wait," I turned to look at him. "Sweetie, where is this all coming from? I t sound like you've let this build up for a while. Why didn't you just let me know when you first started feeling this way."

"Because dad you love her and I would never make you choose. I didn't want to be rude and now it's too late I'm upset and I have been. But it's not only her it's Edward too and I know that dad. You would never make me choose because you love me, and I would never make you choose. And now I think were coming to a point where we cannot continue like this sooner or later we will have to choose." I was screaming at him, an epiphany was emerging in my head. Charlie and I had brought this on ourselves, for so long I blamed her because I didn't like her but it was me all along. I had already chosen Edward and I could no longer blame Charlie or Sue. I stood there completely numb.

"Bella," Charlie started I could see the pain this was putting him through.

"No dad I can't. I just can't be here right now okay? I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is hurting you." I looked up from his painful eyes to look at Sue who had come to stand behind him during our argument. "I'm sorry for how rude I've been to you, blaming you when this clearly has been my issue all along and never your fault." They both stood there with their mouths open neither knowing what to say. I turned and opened the door and started out across our lawn. I didn't know where I was going but I was walking. The fact that I had no destination didn't matter either because soon enough I feel to my knees sobbing.

"Bella!" I heard the most beautiful voice but it was coated with worry. I quickly raised my head to see his Volvo parked on the curb and him running across the lawn to where I was. It was one of Fork's usual cold and rainy days, so he pulled off his coat and wrapped it around me.

"Bella?" he tried again. He got up and looked towards Charlie and after he took in his expression said: "Charlie, what's wrong, what's happening, what's going on?
