Life's Crazy Changes
Chapter Eight
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" We heard Charlie yell at us. oh no "WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!"
I shrunk back into my seat, my cheeks several shades past scarlet.
Charlie stormed off the porch, and over to the car. He stood there looking as if he were about to explode.
I slowly got out of the car and Edward did the same. I closed the door and walked over to Charlie. "Dad," I said "calm down"
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN." He screamed in my face.
"AND YOU," He continued, pointing his finger in Edward's face. "WHAT WERE YOU DOING KISSING MY DAUGHTER?!"
"Mr. Swan, please calm down." Edward said to Charlie.
"NO!" Charlie said, so, I tried again to calm him down.
"Dad, please calm down" I asked him with my puppy dog eyes.
"shut your mouth, missy!" Charlie replied. Then he did something I never thought he would ever do. He slapped me across the face. I gasped in shock and pain.
But he had crossed the wrong line with Edward. Edward pushed me behind his back, snarling at Charlie. "Get in the car" Edward told me and I did as I was told. I slid back into the car, terrified.
But Charlie just looked past Edward and looked at me. "Well, if you love him so much, why don't you just go live with him, hmm?" he said.
"She will. And if you touch Bella one more time, trust me, you will regret it" Edward snapped back at him, before he slid in the car, turned it on again, pulled out of the driveway, and sped off down the street, leaving Charlie looking stunned.
Then my tears started to fall. Would Charlie ever forgive me? Was I really going to live with Edward now? Why was Charlie so mad? Yeah, he said I'm not to date until I'm at least fourteen but the love between Edward and I was different! Our age difference meant nothing! Our love was not normal. There was something special between us that I can't describe.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I'm sorry he hurt you" Edward said, his voice worried. He looked at me and wiped my tears away. But it was useless. As soon he wiped them away, more fell.
"It's fine" I lied.
"No, it's not fine, Bella. But we will help you, I promise" Edward said, and he put his arm around my hips.
"You read his mind, right? Will he ever forgive me?" I asked him, but he remained silent. I knew what that meant. No, he wouldn't forgive me.
The rest of the ride was quiet. Every few minutes Edward would wipe my tears off my face but they just kept coming. When we reached his house he opened the car door for me and we walked over to the porch where Alice was standing, wide eyed.
Alice pulled me into a tight hug, and wisperd "you'll be okay, Bella. We'll figure it out. You will be staying in Edward's room, okay?"
I nodded, and the three of us walked inside. As soon as I walked in the door though, I was pulled into another hug with Rosalie and Esme. Once they had let me go I went upstairs to Edward's room. Edward was right behind me and when we got into his room he closed the door and walked over to me. Then the ground dissapeerd from under me.
"I love you with all my heart, Bella. You will be okay. We will work this out and everything will be fine. I promise" Edward said.
"I know. I'm just shocked. I never thought Charlie would kick me out. And I just got here from Pheonix a few days ago." I sobbed into his chest as he sat down still holding me close to him.
Then I took a nap there in his arms.
Two weeks later
I woke up to something tapping on the glass of edward's window. I looked at the window to see a owl hovering out side of it. An owl? I rubbed my eyes and looked at the window again. The owl was still there.
Then I saw It had a letter tide to it's leg. I stood up, walked over to the window, and opened it. The owl flew past my head and perched on Edward's couch. I went over to it and untied the letter. As soon as the owl was free of the letter it flew back out the window.
I looked at the letter and saw it was addressed to me. Who would send me a letter? And who would send me a letter via owl? I shook my head to rid myself of all the strange questions.
I slowly and hesintly open the letter and read it. it said…
Dear miss swan,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. You are a special acceptance to Hogwarts. Our gamekeeper, Hagrid will arrive at your place of living at one o'clock on july eleventh to tell you more. We understand that you are muggle born and are most likly confused, but Hagrid will explain everything.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonnagal
Deputy headmistress.
I stood there starring at the letter, shocked. Me, a witch? And if that were true, why would I be a special acceptance?
Anything is possible, bella, the voice in my head told me.
No it's not, I told the voice, it is impossible to slam a revolving door.
Whatever, the voice said, you know what I meant.
But then I heard a door close downstairs. The boys must be home from their hunting trip.
Sure enough, Edward walked in the bedroom door and came over to me. He gave me a small peck on my lips before he asked me "who is the letter from, Bella?"
I didn't reply, I just handed him the letter. As he read it, his eyes widend. When he finished reading it he looked at me and said "you're a witch?"
"I guess so" I said.
He starred at me for a second, then looked at the letter again, and said "the eleventh is tomorrow"
I nodded and said "well, we will find out more tomorrow then"
"yeah, I guess so" Edward said.
The rest of the day we spent talking and playing monopoly with our family.
