Hello again! I'm sorry I updated so late! I was waiting a few days to see if anyone would review my second half of Chapter 3, but sadly, only person did. L Free virtual cookie for you!

P.S: Since that one reviewer said I should stick with Colorado, I'll stick with it.

As Edward shot out the window, a feeling of adrenaline washed through my veins, wiping out every thought of Charlie. I knew this feeling wouldn't last long, so I held onto it tightly. I watched as the trees flew past us in a blur, and started to grow panicky with the fear of running into one. Although, I had ridden on Edward's back countless times, I couldn't help being a bit frightened.
We suddenly emerged out of the trees into an empty street; the one around the corner from the Cullens' home. Edward and I approached the door, and out of nowhere Alice popped up right in front of us. She looked very solemn, and she had tear stains on her porcelain cheeks.
"Are you feeling okay, Bella?" she asked carefully, not wanting to hurt my feelings. I nodded and gave her a small smile.
"Edward said I could crash at your place. Is that okay?" I asked, trying to brighten her expression with my horrible attempt for a joke. Edward chuckled from under me. I had forgotten he still hadn't put me down.
"Ah, Bella. Always trying to crack jokes. Even when he father has just died." Edward froze as he realized what he had just said. I, too, froze. I could tell from the look on his face that he was inwardly kicking himself. He slowly set me down on my feet. I took his hand and look at his face, which was still frozen in horror.
"It's alright, Edward. Like I said before, I only need you. Even though living without Charlie might take some getting used to, I'll grow accustomed to it eventually. And besides, I was going to have to move away from him sooner or later anyway." I cringed as I spoke these words. Talking about Charlie like this made it sound like he didn't matter. Like I didn't care whether he was dead or alive.
Edward's expression turned from utter horror to a sheer rage. "How can you say that? How can you talk about Charlie like he's some random human who you've never cared for much at all! That human just so happens to be your father, and without him, you wouldn't even be here right now! I expected better of you, Bella!" Edward practically screamed the words that had been running through my mind at that very moment. It hurt a lot more when he said it to me flat out. I looked up at him with utter terror. He looked like he was about to rip me to shreds, which although I knew he would never do, still scared me stiff.
Edward took one last look at me with disgust, and stormed into the house.
As the door slammed behind him, I stood there staring at it for a few seconds before I burst into tears once again. Alice held me tightly, and I was grateful for it, but it didn't feel the same as when Edward hugged me. The connections that had once held us together seemed to falter, and I felt that without them, I was like a light bulb without electricity to keep it going. Edward was my electricity, and I was the lonely, dark, light bulb.
I refused to go in the house after Alice offered me a place in her room, telling her gently that I didn't want to be anywhere close to Edward right now. Which was a complete lie, of course. I wanted to barge through the door that very instant, and run straight into his loving arms. I wanted to tell him I was so sorry, and I knew I sounded selfish. But I knew that wouldn't even be plausible at this point.
Alice sighed when I turned down her offer, and walked into the house. I sat there huddled in a ball on the porch, my arms wrapped around my knees. A few rain drops fell from the sky and landed on the steps in front of me. Just then, the heavens opened up, and rain poured from the sky. Drops pelted my face, but I didn't care. It hid my tears well.
Sorry this chapter is kind of short- okay, really short. But I need time to think about how Edward is going to feel about yelling so harshly at Bella. Don't worry, Edward will realize his mistake, and will go running back to Bella soon enough! Haha unless you prefer a different ending. Anyway, thank you so much for reading, and please send me review! Reviewers get virtual cookies! ;)
