After realizing what time it was I quickly jumped out of the shower and opened the door to an expecting Alice. "Need some dry clothes?" she asked smugly.
"Yes." I said quietly. In an instant she was in her room with me not far behind.
She was shuffling through her giant closet when she can across a pair of sweats and a tank top. I was caught off guard. "You have sweats?" I asked only half teasing.
"Well, it's not like you could walk in your house at ten o'clock at night in a miniskirt."
I quickly took the clothes and headed to the bathroom; silently relieved that I didn't have to wear one.
At Charlie's house
As soon as I got through the door way I was engulfed in a huge hug by Charlie.
"You have no idea how worried I was Bella. I can't lose you. " He said in a quivering voice that made me ashamed.
"I'm here now dad. It's okay." I said in a comforting voice.
Once he released me I began to trudge up stairs. "Where are you going Bella. I may be
relieved you are here but you are still in trouble." He said sternly.
"I know dad but, I am really tired. I promise we will talk more when I wake up. I love you dad." I said once I reached my door.
I knew he was tired also. As soon as my head touched the pillow I was in a deep dreamless sleep.
Once I woke up
I must have been sleeping for a while because when I woke up it was sunny. I felt well rested and wide awake. I didn't even feel that half sleeping awareness that I normally felt.
"Good evening sleepy head." Edward said in a smooth voice. My hearing, I could tell, was enhanced because the loudness of his voice startled me and I fell off the bed. He was trying so hard not to laugh which made me blush a deep scarlet.
I just ignored it and asked "how long have I been asleep?"
He smiled and said, "16 hours."
I gaped at him. "16?" I said incredously
"Yep you were really tired. Charlie is at work and will be back in about 4 hours." That's when I finally decided to check the clock. Goodness it was 2 o'clock!
I got out of bed and began to head down stairs. In seconds I was there. I was really shocked but, the speed was great! It felt exhilarating but, it was over all too soon.
When I got down stairs the first thing I saw was the note.
Dear Bella,
I know you were tired so I let you sleep. I went to say goodbye to you and found you were in a deep sleep. I felt your head and noticed that you were really cold. Call me when you wake up.
I love you,
Charlie.
I smirked. I wonder why he thought I was cold I pondered to myself with a smile.
I was still smiling when I reached for the phone and called Charlie.
He didn't answer so I left a message.
"Hey dad this is Bella you told me to call you when I woke up. Call me back. Bye."
I put the phone down and found Edward in the kitchen making me pancakes.
I smiled at the gesture but then I grimaced. He looked concerned.
"What?" he asked.
That food looks awful.
He smiled. "I'm hurt. I slave under this boiling stove and all you have to say is that it looks awful." He said playfully.
Now I really did frown.
"I didn't say that." I said.
He looked at me frowning also. "But I heard you." He said in his defense.
"I thought that" I told him quietly
A/N: so how did you like it? I really didn't like this chapter but the next one with be good. I promise.
