"You're what!" Oh great, so it was going to be like this. Now he's just making it even harder for all of us.

"I'm sorry Dad but we're moving up to Alaska. We've got family up there and we want to make a fresh start as a married couple." It took Charlie a whole three minutes to turn back to his usual skin shade. He was fuming.

"I know it's come as a shock Charlie and we really don't want to upset you. It's hard on all of us, but it's what we think is best." Edward comforted. It seems as if Charlie was having none of it today though.

"Shock? SHOCK?! I think I'm a little passed shocked since my daughter married straight out of high school and left me!" That hit below the belt.

"Dad! You know I love Edward!" Charlie was actually starting to irritate me even though I was depressed by breaking the news to him. I really didn't want to do this to Charlie. He had helped me when I needed him the most, and now I was abandoning him. He should nominate me for daughter of the year award.

"Charlie you know how much it will upset us both to be away from you, but I'm afraid I cant do anything about that except reassure you that we will phone constantly and visit whenever we can." Edward really was trying his best to smooth things over. I snuggled into him closer on the sofa, needing his warm hands wrapped around me even tighter for comfort.

Charlie frantically stood up out of the arm chair and began pacing back and forth across the room. This reminded me of the time that he tried to have a sex talk with me about Edward. Little did he know that we were very old fashioned in our ways. I looked up into Edward's eyes, to see if I could deduce anything from him of Charlie's thoughts. All I could see in them was worry and devotion to me. He looked down into my golden eyes.

"Love you." I whispered so low that Charlie's human ears couldn't detect it. Edward smiled at me lovingly.

"Love you too."

***

After another hour of calming Charlie down and reassuring him, he finally came to terms of the situation. We constantly reassured him that we would make the trip and come to see him often. I couldn't promise for how long I would do this, as we didn't want him becoming suspicious as to why I did not look a day older. I really did feel bad for what I had just done, but it was over now, and it was for the best. The hard part was over. The tougher part was to come; Mike. I grimaced at how ironic that sounded. Surely a pathetic love struck teenage boy was nothing compared to a menacing vampire couple. I liked the idea of menacing.

We were now back in the car and on our way to our planned destination to meet Mike. He had suggested meeting at the Coffee House; the most popular café in Forks. That was probably due to the fact that it was the only one. We pulled up outside the café right on time, to find Mike leaning against the opposing lamppost. He really did look down in the dumps. Driving in Edward's Vanquish, Mike's eyes popped wide at the sight of us pulling in.

"I am so looking forward to this." I joked with Edward whilst we were still situated in the car.

"I know how you feel. I've missed my best friend – good old Mike Newton!" Edward chuckled and my favourite crooked grin leapt across his perfect, god like face.

"Hey! He's my best friend! Hands off!" I needed to joke to forget about the unfortunate events with Charlie. Hopefully Edward would do his best at distracting me tonight. Well that's not too hard, now is it?

We exited the car, and I had to remind myself to keep at a human pace.

"Mike! How are you doing?" Edward asked politely, obviously trying to break the icy barrier between the two of them.

"Hello. It's nice to see you both." Mike smiled, cautious of Edward's close proximity. Even now, people still have a natural fear of being too close to us, but Mike doesn't seem to realise that he should have that fear with me too. I joined Edward's side and took his arm, leading him into the overpriced, shabby café. We got shown to a small table in the back right hand corner of the room. Great. Now I would have to choke down the coffee. Mike still looked upset over something important in his life as he took the seats opposite to me and Edward. Edward pulled me closer to him, attaching me to his side. Just the way I like it.

The table was small and dark, compacting us together even closer. I tried not to breath as much as possible, but too be honest, Mike smelt quite repulsive to me. Even still, I still knew that there was a chance to slip up. How would I explain that I had just drained a human boy of his blood in the middle of a busy coffee house? Mike, still acting sheepish, began to ask Edward questions about our honey moon and new life in Alaska.

"So what happened after the wedding Edward?" Mike commented, at least he was being friendly enough. Even Edward could see that, so he tried to leave out the details where Mike might become even more upset.

"We took a two long flights to Rio, then boarded the boat to the island. It was lovely at night time. The water glistened. We spent about a month on the island then came home." Edward smiled. God I love him so much. I remember the time we sailed out to the island. I hadn't got a clue where we were heading, and I had to put my full trust into Edward. It shows how much he means to me. Mike noticed my beaming smile, thinking back to the perfect holiday I had with my glorious husband.

"That sound lovely. I bet you had the time of your lives." Mike suggested. He really didn't know that it definitely the time of my life. The last time of my life – my human life.

"It definitely was." I chuckled. Edward smiled down at me, knowing what I was thinking without being able to read my mind.

At that point, the a friendly looking girl cam to our table to take the order. She was obviously doing this job just to get a bit of money for shopping, but still, she seemed chirpy enough. Jobs are hard to come by in Forks, so she was probably trying her best to to get dismissed. She had bright red hair, split in two plaits on either side of her face. Of course she was pale because of the dreadful weather in Forks, and brown speckles rested upon her nose and cheeks. She was dressed in a chequered shirt and apron. She epitomized a classic small town girl.

"Can I take your order?" She asked with a huge smile on her face. I noticed her staring contently at Edward, and so I made it a point to pick up the menu with my left hand, showing her my wedding rings. I just realised that I hadn't got the faintest clue of what to order. My mind went blank. I started searching through the menu list, until I found the classic house coffee and a piece of plain cake. That will do I thought to myself.

"Order what you want Mike. We'll take care of it." Edward said, smiling brightly at Mike. Mike sat their for a few seconds to regain his composure, He really didn't expect to hear that.

"Err thanks Edward but I can take care of myself."

"Don't worry about it Mike. Our treat."

"Okay then. I'll have the house coffee and a slice of chocolate cake."He said to the waiter. To my surprise, Edward ordered the same, as I thought he would just stick to the coffee.

"How's your Mom doing Mike?" I asked. A few seconds later I regretted it. His face immediately showed the pain he was trying to suppress. Trust my bog mouth to upset him even more.

"She's not to great at the moment. She gets her test results back in a few days. The doctors think it might me cancer."

"Oh Mike I'm really sorry," My hand flew up to my mouth in shock, "I honestly didn't mean to upset you even more!" Now I really felt bad for poor Mike.

"It's okay Bella, really. Don't feel bad for me. I've got some good news anyway! And a bit of a surprise as well." Thank goodness that we had something happy from Mike to talk about. I wonder what he meant by a surprise?

"Tell us Mike!" Edward said in a fake enthusiastic voice. Mike wouldn't be able to detect that it was quite fake because of his weak human hearing.

"My Mom and Dad asked me to take over the store, so now I'm the manager of Newtons Olympic Outfitters." He sated proudly. Even his chest puffed out four millimetres, to be precise. I could tell there was more that he was happy about, but I didn't want to just say: 'Is that all?'. That would have been really rude. I am actually so pleased that he's got some more responsibility in his life now. I think that if he didn't have the responsibility, he would probably make a ruin of his life.

"Wow Mike that's really great!" I said, chuffed to bits that he was on the mend.

"That's really good Mike. I'm pleased for you." Edward said and calmly shook Mike's hand over the table. To my astonishment, they were really getting on very well. I wondered how long this would last when another familiar face walked through the door and into the café. Jessica Stanley.

She spotted us in the corner, long after me and Edward had seen her. We didn't make out that we could see her, but we both tensed up at the formidable character walking towards us. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Jess had noticed Edward's arm wrapped around my waist casually. She didn't look too impressed by what she saw. As Jess reached our table, Mike noticed her presence.

"Jess! You made it!" Mike rejoiced. Obviously this was his 'surprise'. I think I would have preferred the Volturi sitting opposite me that Jessica Stanley.

"Hey Jess. What a surprise to see you here." I said casually, trying to to sound too impressed by her arrival. I didn't want her thinking that I've missed he at all. Ha! Far from it!

"Oh. Hey Jess." Edward said, also sounding like he didn't want her here. I could assume Jess's thoughts, just by watching Edward cringe at whatever he heard. She was practically drooling at my husband the whole time she stood in front of us.

"Jess take a seat." Mike said, raising his hand to demonstrate the seat next to him. He also waved the waitress back over to order what Jess wanted as well.

"Bella, Edward, this was my surprise for you. Me and Jess are now back together!" I tried to feign a surprised look on my face, resulting in me looking similar to a gold fish. Edward just sat there smiling, showing no emotion at all. He was probably beating himself up inside for bringing us both here.

"How great!" I said, plastering a smile on my face. These two were made for each other.

Finally, the waitress came over with our orders to save us from this diabolical conversation about Jessica Stanley of all people. We both tried to gulp down the coffee and cake as best as we could, but Jessica's stares at my husband, left me feeling rather sick.

"So I hear you're both moving up to Alaska?"Jessica questioned to see if her worst nightmare had come true. She didn't want to be any farther away from Edward Cullen, even if he is now married. It seems as though I would have to bring her down a peg or two if she carries this on.

"Yes. We're moving tomorrow actually." I said, in my snootiest voice possible. I really hatred to be quite bitchy, but Jess definitely deserved it.

"What are you both doing later? We could go to a movie in Port Angeles if you liked?" Mike asked. Poor boy. Did he really think that I would want to spend any more time with Jess?

"Sorry Mike but we're going car shopping." Did I just hear Edward right? I craned my neck to look up into his eyes, with a shocked expression playing around on my face.

"Car shopping?" I asked.

"I meant it to be a surprise, but we had better look at the dealerships around here because there aren't many good ones in Alaska."

"Okay that sounds great." I smiled, looking back to see Jess's face turn a deeper shade of green. She would soon look like a monster if she kept getting even more jealous.

"It will give you chance to properly break it in on the way up there as well if you like?" Edward asked. Could my life be any more perfect? I smiled at him and whispered thanks into his ear, too low for Mike and Jess to hear. Edward kissed my cheek, where it was leaning against his.

After choking down the cake and coffee, I really did just want to get out of there, and away from the vile Jessica Stanley.

"Sorry Mike but we've got to be heading off if we want to get Bella's car today." Edward politely said. I thought he couldn't read my mind. We left a twenty dollar bill down on the table and stood up to put our jackets on.

"We'll hopefully see you both soon! I hope everything works out for you both." I said, trying to be as nice as possible. I didn't want them thinking badly of me. Edward picked up his car keys and wrapped his arm around me once more. His arm seriously felt like home these days. It was magical.

"Bye. Thanks for today guys." Mike gestured. If anything, Jess didn't even deserve Mike. He was so polite and friendly, that it was hard to believe that Jess was his second choice to the dances in Forks High School.

"Bye Edward, Bella." Jess choked out.

We walked out of the café, just as the sun was dimming in the sky. It wasn't a bright day, but we needed to hurry around the dealerships. I had promised Alice, Rosalie and Esme that we would have a girly film night later. We reached the car and sat down. It took Edward minutes to turn on the engine, as we were both in laughing fits. Jess's face was absolutely priceless.
