Months passed. Edward and I spent every possible waking moment together. I helped that his parents and him all lived right next door. When I moved in at the age of four, we slowly became friends. It wasn't long before Edward was my best friend, and more than that. I loved him, more than anything.
My mother used to tell me that she loved me more than anything in the whole universe. This bothered me. I thought that she should love dad more than anything else. I could never return the compliment. I loved Edward more than anything in the whole universe. I settled with just telling her that I loved her too.
I knew why my mom didn't love my dad more than me. I never argued with her. Well, I rarely did. The arguments at my house got worse. They would always start politely, then escalate into a yelling match.
"Charlie, would you please take out the trash?"
"I will in a minute, Renee. Give me a second to breath, I just got home."
"I have some trash I need to put in the trash can, but it wont fit. Do you want me to stand here waiting for you to breath?"
"No, why don't you just take out the trash yourself if you need to so bad? Its not exactly like your incapable of it."
"So you think that I should haul out this enormous bag of trash, drag it down to the end of the driveway, and look like an idiot of a wife that has to do everything for her husband? Why is this such a big deal Charlie?"
"You don't do everything! Maybe if I didn't have to wash the dishes and do the laundry and cut the grass and vacuum because you were too busy going to get your nails done to do any of that, taking the trash out wouldn't be such a big deal!"
"Getting my nails done? I'm not the one who spends half his nights squandering money in pool games with his buddies!"
"Just because I have friends, Renee, doesn't give you the right to-"
"Oh! I have every right to say whatever I please! And I wish to say that-"
"You know what, Renee? I don't really give a damn what you have to say! Who said that I wanted to hear what you have to say anymore?"
"Um, you did, when you MARRIED me!!"
"Oh! Well when I married you, I didn't know that you would turn into such a self obsessed angry woman that you are now!"
"I'm only angry because you insisted on moving us into this stupid old tiny town where the only thing left to do is laundry!"
"Then why aren't you doing the laundry? You didn't have any objections to living here when we moved!"
"Oh yes I did! You were just to excited to listen to your boring old WIFE!"
These arguments tended to happen late at night, when dad got home and I was supposed to be asleep. I don't think either of them knew that their shouts would wake me up. I would try to listen to them scream for awhile, but when I started panicking I climbed out of my window, onto my shed, down my tree, and snuck across the street. Edward's parents were doctors, and they had to get up at four to go to work, so they were in bed early.
Edward didn't seem to be afraid of them waking up when I threw rocks at his window until he came down to get me.
"Bella, what are you doing-" He started to ask, but when he saw the tears on my face and felt the way my hand shook when he took it, he lead me back up into his room, and held me tight until we both fell asleep.
