CHAPTER 3 -Charlie POV

The birds woke me up. Their tweeting I have come to know as my morning alarm clock. Every morning they would wake me around five in the morning, so there was no use to by an alarm clock.

For the past couple of days, I have had too many thoughts running around in my mind. Malia called me a couple of days ago, saying that her step- mother and Phil we're planning something. She told me that Phil, her father and my ex wife was packing boxes. I phoned Renee, she said she was ordering new things for the house, and taking the old things to the charity shop, that Phil already started painting. Every time I asked her questions, she would hesitate to answer, or she would stutter down the phone. One thing about Renee, is that she can't lie for shit. As she fegot I am the chief of police. I deal with liars everyday, and worst off all Bella is just the same.

It was only yesterday morning when Malia rang me. She cried, and told me that Renee and Phil have packed their things. I can't believe Phil left his daughter behind to start a new 'happy' life. Worst off all they haven't payed any rent for five months, and other bills when Renee ordered from bid-up TV. They were high in debt. Malia only seventeen years off age shouldn't have too deal with that shit. She ended up paying £4280 of her own money. Now they want her out of the house. She had to pack her stuff and be out of the house tomorrow afternoon. I couldn't have her sleeping rough on the streets.

Without Malia knowing, I put some money into her account and booked her a one way flight to Washington. She will be living with me for now on. I wanted Malia to get a chance what having a father is like, to live in a place where she would call home. A place where she would feel loved, warm and protected. Last night I rang Malia to tell her that she is coming to live with me and I've already paid for the ticket, I know she argued, that she had her now money. But I was her adoptive father, and I only wanted what's best for her. After an hour of arguing, she gave in. I chuckled to myself. Her flight will be two in the afternoon, she already shipped her stuff at seven in the morning.

Last night Billy came over with Sam, Paul and Jacob too watch a game of basketball. Harry was running late, dealing with teenage drama from Seth and Leah. He told us that Leah has been in a foul mood for the past couple of days, and would loose her temper over the littlest thing. We had fish and chips for dinner with a bottle of Becks. I told billy about Renne and Phil, also not missing out Malia.

Billy told me to clear out the biggest bedroom. No one hasn't been in there since mother died. Paul and Sam offered to help out a old man. One thing I noticed when I was talking about my exwife and Phil, he got angry. Sam took Paul outside to calm down. When they came back in, I showed them pictures when I took Malia out fishing for the day with Bella. Malia had a huge smile on her face when she caught salmon, Bella was sulking in the background. Paul's eyes softened when he saw the picture. He held the picture for ten minuets till he gave it me back. He asked me about Malia.

Sam called Emily, she said she had a spare double bed in the back roo. What hasn't been put up. Sam had a desk at work so he would bring it down in the morning. Sue owns a second hand shop and she said she could get me a wardrobe and cupboards for her cloths. Leah had a few fur blankets and rugs, Quileute style. Paul had paint, dark gray and light silver with a dark blue gloss.

Leah wanted me meet her, so Emily sorted a day out on the beech for a couple of days time. Leah said it was good to have another girl around. Half way through talking Bella came home with Edwin. I could scence tension in the room, Edwin didn't like Billy's boys here.

I told Bella that Malia was coming to live here. She screamed and stomped her foot on the ground like a spoiled child. She screamed the house down till her face was red. She asked where Malia would sleep. I told her the spare room. She kicked off because it was the biggest one in the house, then saying that Malia should sleep in the kennels with the dogs. Edwin snickered at the comment. Bella ran up stairs, banging her feet on the floor boards. Edwin followed close behind. Not long, bella said she was staying with Edwin's for the night. I told her no, simple she has school in the morning. She screamed and ran back up stairs. Edwin left. I heard her screaming to her mother on the phone. Sometimes I thing the Cullens are spoiling her rotten.

I watched as the sun slowly coming up, brightening up the sky. I got out of bed, and put some old cloths on. My watch said it was six in the morning, Sam and the others will be here in an hour. Bella wouldn't be happy for the rude awakening. Lucky I didn't have work till tomorrow night. The boys at the station know my situation and said they will cover my shifts.

I walked down stairs, flipping the switch on in the kitchen. I put water in the kettle and setting it to boil. I made myself an egg and toast. Once my black coffee was made I read the news paper. People still going missing. We did so many search outs and still come up with nothing, even out police dogs couldn't pick up a scent.

I was on my second cup off coffee when there was a knock on the door. Sam, jarred and Paul all had paints in hand as well as some shelves to be put up. I showed them the room and let them get to work. The banging started, then bella screaming about the noise. I could hear the boys laughing. I carried a tray off coffees and sandwiches. Paul was putting up the shelves, Sam started on the boards and jarred painting. Lucky the paint dried in one hour.

Sue and Jacob came around eleven, Leah and Emily were on their way with lights, curtains and bed sheets. Everything was in the back of SAMs truck. By one the walls were painted, the shelves were up and so was the bed. We had a quick lunch, and started building the wardrobes and cupboards. Lucky the desk wasn't flat packed. Paul brought a spare book shelf.

We finished around five in the afternoon and I let Leah and Emily do the girly things. I had a quick shower, and written a note saying I'm picking Malia up. Sue stayed behind and cook for us.
