Here's chapter four! Sorry it took so long to update! Now, I'm nearing the part that I had planned the story to end. But I wanna know if you guys want me to go on a little further or not, so be sure and review so I know. Thanks! Review!

Recap: And then he was kissing me again. When we parted, I looked up to find a purple-faced Charlie, standing on the front porch, glaring at us.

"Oh no," I sighed, massaging my temples. "He is not going to be happy."

"You have no idea…" Edward laughed weakly. "Sorry Bella, I should've left before he saw me."

"No, no," I contradicted him. "I better go before his head explodes." I reached over to open the door.

"I'll meet you in your room later tonight," Edward assured me, "Alice said Carlisle wanted to see me. She wanted me to bring you, but I don't think that's the best idea right now." He motioned towards Charlie. "You better go, he's pretty mad." He sighed.

"Yeah," My chest ached thinking about how long it would be until I would see him again. "Bye. I'll see you later. I love you." I said, stepping out of the car.

"I love you to Bella," He smiled. I closed the door, took a deep breath, and turned to face Charlie. I heard Edward drive off as I marched up to my glowering father, avoiding his vicious gaze. "Hi Dad," I greeted him, my voice cracking on the last word.

"Isabella Marie Swan," He paused to take a deep breath, his face growing redder by the second. "Get inside the house, right now."

"Dad," I started.

"Now." He ordered sternly.

I skulked through the doorway, awaiting his bellows, but was surprised when he sounded more sad than angry. "You lied to me." He stated. "I specifically told you not to see him, and you said 'don't worry',"

"I – I know, but – I knew you'd act like this! I just, didn't want to upset you…" I tried to explain.

"Then what the hell was that!" He shouted, motioning outside with his hand. "Damnit Bella! I," He paused again, attempting to calm himself. "I don't want you to get hurt again." I desperately wanted to explain to Charlie the depth of reasoning behind Edward's departure, but I knew I couldn't, and never would.

"Dad, It's – It's a lot more complicated than you think. Okay?" I looked up at him, hopeful that he would let it drop. Of course, I was wrong though.

"No Bella, I can't just accept that." He sighed, sagging his shoulders. "Now you listen to me!" He raged, "You will not be seeing that boy anymore! I will not allow it."

I didn't think. I didn't really have time to. I only knew that I wasn't having that. "No!" I shrieked. A look of surprise over took his face. "That is not your call to make! It's mine, and I've already made it!" I sighed again, a tad embarrassed at my outburst. "What I mean is," I corrected myself. "It wasn't his fault he had to leave. He had to. And, he called me first thing when he got back. We talked and…" I looked up to find Charlie's in an unreadable grimace. "Look, dad, I'm not up for this tonight okay? I'm gonna go to my room now. There's some leftover lasagna in the fridge if you get hungry."

I turned to go up the stairs, leaving Charlie standing dumbfounded in the living room. Once I was in my room, I found I had nothing to do other than homework. Reluctantly, I pulled out my trigonometry book and began to work. Thirty minutes later, Charlie was calling that I had a phone call. I dashed down the stairs, tripping once, and snatching the phone off the counter, hoping to hear Edwards voice.

"Bella," Spoke a ruff voice from the other end.

"Jake!" I called cheerfully. "Hey! What's up?"

"Um, I," He paused awkwardly, "I just… Are they really back Bella? Is He back?"

I sighed into the receiver, "Oh Jake. Not you too."

"That's all I needed to know," He spoke mournfully, and the line went dead. I rubbed my head and ran back upstairs to my bedroom.

I hadn't realized how late it had gotten, but I opened my door to find Edward lying on my bed, waiting for me with open arms. Without a word, I threw myself across the room and into his lap. He looked down and grinned at me. "I missed you too," He chuckled, kissing my forehead. "You know," he laughed. "This whole 'being apart thing', is not working out."

"No," I sighed in agreement, "It really isn't." We sat there for a while, until my Dad bellowed my name downstairs.

"Coming Dad!" I yelled back. "Sorry," I apologized to Edward.

"It's okay. Actually, this is more my fault than yours." He sighed, shaking his back and forth. He grabbed me by my waist, and set me on my feet. I turned to walk out the door, but he caught my by the arm and pulled me back into him, kissing me hard.

"What was that for?" I panted.

He laughed. "Just because."

"BELLA!!" My Dad howled. I looked up mournfully at Edward, as I ushered myself out the door.

"Yeah Dad?" I asked, annoyed that I had been taken away from Edward.

"You're right," He stated, his expression, still hard. "I can't keep you from seeing Edward," He admitted, much to my amusement. "But I can keep you inside this house as long as you're not in school."

"B-but," I stammered.

"No buts." He cut me off, looking pleased with himself, "That's my decision. And it's final." He boasted. I had never gotten angry with Charlie before, but I could see that it was expected to now. But how could I be when what he called be grounded, I considered to be heaven? After all, alone without any distractions, with Edward for that amount of time. What's there to be upset with? But I could see my pleased expression had caught Charlie off guard. So, as I suspected I was supposed to, I turned to storm up to my room, tripping on the last step. I picked myself up and entered my new haven that was meant to my own personal hell…

Okay, kind of a boring chapter. Sorry about that. And sorry that I took so long posting it! But with soccer starting back up, I don't have as much free time on my hands. Sorry! Anyway, I know this chapter wasn't action-packed or anything, but I'd still like to know what you guys think, so be sure and Review!!
