Chapter Seven
Bella Swan
i woke up with a pounding headache. i had never had a hang-over, but i was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that that would be what it felt like. i groaned and turned into where Edward should have been. he wasnt there.
i was thinking about this when Renee knocked on my door. "Bella, sweetheart, i have to go back to Florida."
"why?" i asked, still a little disarranged.
"Phil got in a car accident. so i'm going to go back for a week or so. i'll be back a few nights before your big day alright?"
"sure." i smiled.
she came in, hugged me and went back to the door. "i love you sweetheart."
"love you too mom."
a few minutes later i heard Charlie's police criuser pulling out, he would be taking Renee to the airport and wouldnt be back for a while.
still confused, i picked up my tiny silver cell phone Edward had forced on me and dialed his all too familiar number.
"Hello?" his sugary-sweet voice answered, knocking all the confusing questions from my head. "Bella? Love?"
"Hm? Oh, er, where are you?"
"I had to meet Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett early this morning for tux fittings before it got too bright in Port Angelos. I'll be there in just a moment."
"um, alright."
and then a moment later he was in front of my bed, chuckling at the expression on my face. "did i startle you?"
he came and sat next to me, pulling me into him. "no, i just, i seem to be really confused this morning."
then everything from the evening before came rushing back. i threw my hands over my face and turned into him. "Bella, whats wrong?" his anxious hands wrapped around me.
"I just..." i grumbled nonsense to myself and turned onto my back. "Sam said that you get a freebie."
"what?" he was the startled one, confused too.
"you can bite me."
he laughed humorlessly, not reaching his eyes.
"it was the only thing he could think of. i cant think of anything at all."
he sighed and ran a hand over his head, threw his hair. "okay. when?"
i tried not to act shocked. "we'll leave for a few days. we should leave tomorrow. we'll tell Charlie that we need to take Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie, our Best Men and Maid's of Honor, on vacation for a few days."
"that sounds good." he sighed.
"so tomorrow?" i asked quietly.
"tomorrow." he sighed once more and kissed my head.
