Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to SM.
To clear some things up…
Edward, Emmett and Jasper are 19
Bella, Rosalie and Alice are 18
The academy the boys go to is like military/ government training to be professional bodyguards like the secret service, so instead of going to college the boys enrolled and got accepted into the academy.
Enjoy the new chapter !
I was actually glad me and Edward went back down to the party. Although I had wanted him so badly, I didn't want to move things along too fast and now that I thought about it, it wasn't as classy as I'd like it to be since I had a party downstairs.
Edward and I walked outside to the backyard where we saw Rose and a bunch of guys drinking while people watched. I didn't realize it at first but they were racing to see who could down their shots the fastest. It didn't take long for Rose to finish first, with Emmett cheering her on.
Since I was already drinking jack and coke I decided shots wouldn't be a good idea since I barely ever drank and I didn't want to explore my limits now. Emmett, however, handed Edward a shot of tequila before we went back inside.
When we entered the living room where the music was coming from, I saw Alice sitting on Jasper's lap on the couch in the living room. Both her hands were in the air, one holding her drink and the other one was swinging with the beat of the song. Jasper would just kiss the back of her neck and smile, it was so adorable, you could tell he loved her.
I wanted to dance with Edward, but I had never danced except that club night and even that was after a couple beers, besides I didn't even know if Edward danced, I hadn't seen him dance at the club. I felt Edward's eyes on me, probably wondering what I was thinking since we were just standing there so I looked over at him and winked before I led him to the dance floor. I saw Tyler and Lauren from my Spanish class dancing and they were practically doing it with the way Lauren was bent over in front of Tyler. It wasn't a pretty sight.
Dancing with Edward was surprisingly calming, feeling his body against mine and they way he moved with me. After about half a song, I turned around so I could face him, I wanted to see his beautiful eyes even if we were dancing, and if that meant dancing front to front then so be it. I liked dancing with Edward though, it had to be a hundred times better than dancing with James. I stared into his deep green eyes until my eyes fell to his slightly parted lips. Unconsciously I bit my lip and he smirked.
"The little things you do to me." He whispered into my neck and I shivered. I opened my mouth, hoping I could answer without my voice cracking until we heard chanting from the backyard.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!..." It kept going on. Edward's attention shifted and he frowned. He grabbed my hand as we headed towards the backyard with Alice and Jasper right behind us.
Great I internally groaned, the last thing I needed was a fight to breakout making someone call the cops then having Charlie find out. He would never let me do anything again. I held onto Edward's hand as we pushed through the people to see what the commotion was about.
The first guy we saw was a guy who had came in with Jake, he was clearly from the reservation due to his similar features. It wasn't Quil or Embry because I remembered what they looked like, this guy was bigger and looked unfriendly. We didn't see who pushed him to the ground but he sprung right back up. He looked like a cocky jerk, the look on his face was obvious he was trying to provoke someone. By what some guys were yelling I'm pretty sure his name was Paul.
As we got to the front of the crowd we noticed who the other guy was, the guy that must've pushed Paul to the ground. It was Emmett.
"I'm sorry I didn't know the bitchwas yours. I was introducing myself, I couldn't help it that my hands slipped." Paul chuckled as he winked at Rosalie who was slightly behind Emmett pulling on his hand, trying to get him to walk away from what was about to be a fight.
"Just back the fuck off before I introduce your face to the concrete." Emmett growled while Rose stroked his palm trying to get him to calm down.
"Afraid she might want a taste of a real man? Come on tough guy you're all talk, don't be such a pussy." Paul continued to provoke Emmett. This time Emmett couldn't resist, he stepped forward pulling his fist back. Instantly, Edward dropped my hand and I saw him and Jasper step in front of Emmett to block his path.
"Get the fuck out." Jasper snarled at Paul while trying to help Edward hold Emmett back. I never saw Jasper so pissed, after all Rose was his younger sister.
"Come on Em the guy's not worth it, he clearly can't handle his liquor, he'll probably pass out soon." Edward murmured trying to calm Emmett down.
Emmett took deep breaths. "Fine but get him the fuck out." Emmett muttered through his teeth before turning back to Rose and putting his arm around her.
Edward turned to Paul. "Get the hell out of my girlfriend's house." As soon as the words escaped Edward's mouth I immediately heard people start whispering or should I say gossiping and I got plenty of glares from girls who were obviously jealous. Since Edward, Emmett and Jasper had graduated last year from Forks High, of course everyone knew who they were.
Paul glared at Edward for a few seconds before answering. "Whatever this is a wack ass party anyways." He burst open the gate on the side of the house that led to the front yard.
I looked at Alice quickly and I think she read my mind. "Party's over! Everyone clear out in five minutes or else…" Alice left it at that as she put on her toughest face. People groaned but headed towards the exits, it was probably because none of them wanted to have to face any consequences with Edward, Emmett or Jasper after what they just saw.
Alice kissed Jasper's cheek and caressed his face, it was amazing how Alice had instantly calmed him down. Emmett however was still taking deep breaths as he sat down on a chair and Rose leaned over to put her forehead to his as he closed his eyes.
Edward walked back towards me and he sighed. "I'm sorry." He mumbled as he pulled me into his arms.
"Why are you apologizing Edward?" I paused. "The way you took control made me kinda hot for you." I laughed teasing him as I ran my hands through his hair.
"Oh really?" He kissed the top of my head.
"Yup." I looked up so his eyes could meet mine. I never got tired of staring into those green pools, they always made me feel so comforted and happy.
"It's tempting but it's been a long night I think we should just go get some sleep." He said giving me one last peck and I nodded, with the Jake drama and everything else, sleep would be a good idea, besides Charlie was coming home tomorrow night.
Although it was just before one, I changed into some PJ shorts and a tank top and I fell asleep fast in Edward's arms as soon as we laid down on my bed, the last thing I felt was Edward's lips brush against my forehead.
Meanwhile… (??? POV)
I dialed Agent Swan's cell phone number and waited for him to pick up. He picked up after the third ring.
"Hello."
"Agent Swan?" There was no turning back now.
"Who is this?"
"I think you should be informed about an issue…" I was surprised he didn't recognize my voice.
"An issue? Tell me who you are!"
"I'll get to that sir, I think you should come home as soon as possible though. It's about Bella…" I figured that after I mentioned Bella I would have his attention so I could tell him everything then I could reveal myself.
(Back to Bella's POV)
"Edward." I moaned waking from my sleepy slumber. I felt disappointed that I didn't still feel his arms around me, I reached my hand out to feel the right side of the bed where he had fallen asleep next to me and was disappointed when I didn't feel anything but my sheet. I opened my eyes. "Edward?" I sat up observing the empty room then quickly got out of bed and peeked my head out of my bedroom door, he wasn't in the bathroom, I tiptoed over to the guest room being careful not to wake anyone. Now this was getting weird, Edward wasn't there and neither was any of his stuff. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach Had he went home real quick and took his stuff with him? I quickly went to brush my teeth and wash my face before I headed down the stairs. I heard two voices talking but neither of them were the angelic velvet voice I wanted to hear, in fact one of them sounded like…
"Dad?" I muttered when I walked into the kitchen.
"Morning sleepyhead." Charlie embraced me and I gave him a weak smile. Edward must've left because my dad came home right?
"You're home early." I mumbled, only then I noticed the other guy who had been sitting with my dad at the kitchen table. His hair reminded me of Jasper's except this guy's was dark brown and he had light brown eyes, I instantly felt myself missing Edward's green ones.
Charlie noticed me looking at the other guy and I must have still had the confused look on my face. "Bells I want you to meet Aaron. Aaron this is my daughter, Bella."
"Hello Bella, it's so nice to meet you. Your father has told me quite a lot about you and I just want you guys to know that you have nothing to worry about, you're in good hands, I have done this many times before." Aaron smiled at Charlie then shook my hand. I was still confused.
"Have done what many times?" I asked, was I still half asleep or was this a dream because I didn't understand what was going on.
"Been a bodyguard of course." Aaron answered politely.
It didn't take more than two seconds for me to connect it all in my head. Aaron was my bodyguard now, what happened to Edward, Emmett and Jasper? How come nobody told me anything? Why was my father home earlier than he said he would be? Did he have something to do with this?
"Dad can I please talk to you in the other room?" I murmured trying to keep my cool, I didn't know if I should be mad yet but I couldn't help but feel pissed off. Charlie nodded and followed me into the living room.
"Dad who the heck is this guy?" I questioned as I revealed some of my anger.
"Bella I think it's pretty clear who this guy is, now that I'm back you don't need three bodyguards anymore, one should do. I decided to hire Aaron as your full-time bodyguard just to keep you safe from the constant threats. I promise Aaron isn't some rookie that will prey on you either." Charlie answered with his hands on his hips.
"What are you talking about?" I shook my head trying to make sense of everything but I was lost. What did he mean?
"Don't play dumb Bella, you don't need to defend him. I was informed how this Edward behaved inappropriately and unprofessionally romantically with you and that is against the rules of his job, therefore I had him suspended. I should had him expelled from the damn academy he goes to but I decided that if he just stayed away, that would be fine. Aaron will be your only bodyguard now since I'm home. He has had more experience." Charlie spoke like he was proud of himself. It made me sick especially when he said he got Edward suspended, I felt like I was going to throw up, Edward didn't deserve any of this was Charlie serious?
"You had him suspended?!" I yelled.
"Don't be angry with me, it was his own actions that forced me to do it. Bells, you should be glad I had him replaced, now you don't have to feel obligated to spend time with him since he was your bodyguard, he can't manipulate you anymore." Charlie had started off sounding angry but cooled down in an effort to calm me but it was far from working.
"Dad I didn't feel obligated to do anything! I wanted to be with him! Your seriously losing it, you think he manipulated me? If anything I tried to seduce him!" I continued to raise my voice and Charlie winced at the last part. Then Charlie's words repeated themselves in my head. 'I decided that if he just stayed away, that would be fine.' I was going to start crying soon, I could feel it. "I can be with who I want!"
"It doesn't matter what you think you wanted Bella, he still acted irresponsibly and unprofessionally and for that he had to face the consequences. You won't be with someone I don't approve of. Aaron will be your bodyguard now and that is final!" Charlie agrued.
I couldn't hold in my anger anymore, I didn't want to say it but I couldn't stop myself. "I hate you!" I said as I was on the verge of tears.
"That's not going to make me change me mind. I don't want that prick getting near you. In fact, I want you to stay away from him from now do you hear me?! He's obviously not a good influence on you, don't think I didn't hear about that party HE threw while I was gone!" Charlie was past angry now and he was bright red. I thought his head was going to explode.
"I'm eighteen you can't keep me from doing what I want! I'm my own person now! And whoever informed you should get their story right before you listen to them again, especially if someone's career reputation is on the line!" I shouted, Charlie was over the line now, he wasn't being protective, he was being smothering, did he not understand he was going to have to let me grow up sometime?
"Under my roof you'll listen to me whether you like it or not!" Charlie protested against me. I hated when he played the 'under my roof' card, it was so unfair. I didn't know how to argue against it, I really had nowhere else to go, I wouldn't push myself upon the Cullens to take me in and I hadn't been in Forks long enough to get to know anybody else too well. I hung my head in defeat now, failing to hold back the tears anymore, it was no use, Charlie was too stubborn.
I turned to head up the stairs but stopped at the top. I felt like I couldn't breath because I had started crying so hard. Charlie had forbid me to see Edward, what was I supposed to do now? Obviously I wasn't going to be able to obey that.
Edward wasn't just some guy, he was different.
I heard Charlie and Aaron talking again and I had to get a hold of my breathing so I could hear what they were saying.
"Sorry you had to hear that, I didn't know she'd throw such a tantrum." Charlie apologized.
"Don't worry about it. I have three younger sisters I understand. You didn't tell her about your promotion though." Aaron said. What promotion?
"Yea I was supposed to talk to her about that when we went to dinner tonight but she's probably not gonna talk to me for a couple days so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell her about New York just yet. You don't think I was too harsh do ya?" I heard the tip of doubt in Charlie's voice.
"No. I can't blame you for not wanting her to end up like that Denali girl." Aaron answered. Oh shoot, that was the last thing I needed was for Charlie to know about was what happened with Edward and Tanya, then he definitely wouldn't accept Edward. I had to stop the conversation from going any further.
I take a couple deep breaths to regulate my breathing some more. I knew my voice would still be pathetic and my face would still be flushed with tears but I stormed down the stairs anyways grabbing my coat off the coat hanger and throwing it on along with my shoes.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Charlie asked.
"I'm gonna meet Jacob for breakfast." I answered wiping my overflowing tears knowing Aaron would have to follow me.
A/N: If things were confusing I'm sorry but I need to push the story in a certain direction. LEAVE REVIEWS PLEASE to help me update quicker :] I hoped you liked it.
