Chapter Five

Bella Swan

Getting into my truck, I noticed him give me a small wave, in which I returned. "Tomorrow." He mouthed from his car.

I could feel a smile tug at my lip. "Tomorrow." I mouthed back.

I'd gotten home in a happy mood, a huge smile on my face. I greeted my dad with a huge smile and gave him a hug. "Hey kiddo."

"Hi dad."

"Seems like forever since we talked."

"Hmmm." I agreed, and let go of him.

"Victoria's out of town till Saturday, why don't we spend some father daughter time together?" He offered.

I smiled. "I'd like that."

He smiled. "We can go into Seattle and watch a film if you'd like?"

"Yeah!" I cheered, gave him another huge hug.

"Jeez kid, don't know what on earth has gotten into you."

I closed my eyes as I held myself against my dads chest. "Is it bad to love my dad?"

He chuckled. "We'll leave now, beat the traffic."

"Sounds good."

Edward Cullen

I couldn't help but whistle the entire car ride home, smiling and grinning, probably a little too happy for James when I'd get in the house, but I really couldn't be arsed with his shit, he could hit me, he could swear at me, hell he could do anything he wanted to me and I'd still be happy.

I opened the front door and called out for my mother. "MOM!" I yelled into the quiet house.

"In here." Came the cheery voice.

I walked into the kitchen to see my mom sat in front of the oven, watching whatever was in there rise, and by the looks of it, they were muffins.

"James has gone away for a meeting."

I cocked an eyebrow up at her. "Oh really?"

"Mhm." She murmured, watching my expression. "Thought we could do something, haven't had time with my little boy alone in a long time." She held her arms open towards me, and I sat down next to her. "I don't know why you wont come out with James and I."

"I just don't like him." I shrugged, giving my mom a hug.

She sighed. "I don't get why you can't get over him, Edward, he's already accepted you, and he's trying his best."

I stopped myself from blurting out all the shit he'd done to me, how much he'd fucked me over. And so I settled for something that would appease my mom. "I guess I could try to be nicer."

"Anyway, when these are baked you and I are going for a picnic."

"A picnic? In Forks, really mom?"

She giggled softly. "No, we'll go to Port Angeles or something. Not the greatest idea, but we can barely rub two pennies together, Edward."

I chuckled quietly. "Love you mom."

"Love you too baby."
