BELLAPOV
"Oh My God!"
Ugh what's with morning people, I don't understand them. I opened my eyes and tried to focus but all I could see was gold and it took me a bit to remember where I was. I could feels arms wrapped around me and it was all I could do to not sigh and shift closer. Alice's voice made me wake up but it was Charlie's voice that made me get out of the bed quick smart.
"Isabella Marie Swan, WHAT do you think you are doing?"
"Umm... sleeping?"
"Don't you dare be smart with me young lady, march yourself back downstairs and home right this instant." He shouted back before turning to Esme "Esme thank you very much for the invitation to breakfast, but maybe another time would be better."
I mouthed an apology to Edward then turned around and walked home with my head down. Of course it was just my luck for Charlie to catch us in Edwards bed. Its not like we were doing anything other than sleeping. For gods sake its not even like we were together.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a drink of water waiting for Charlie to come. I didn't have to wait long because soon Charlie walked in, his face as red as I've ever seen it. He was plain and simple furious.
"A week!" he shouted "You've been here for a single week and you've already found someone to jump into bed with you. But no it couldn't just be anyone you HAD to humiliate me in the process. I am good friends with the Cullens and you just had to go ruining that by sleeping with their son. For gods sake Isabella how could you be such a slut!" Until then I had listened quietly. I had planned to wait till he was finished before I said a thing. Until that last word I had felt the tears threatening to fall. But that was it, that was not going to be allowed to stand.
I stood up and I felt my face turn to stone, my eyes that were once burning in the shame instilled by my father now turned to cold fury. My voice matched my eyes, cold and emotionless "How dare you. You of all people. You, who until a week ago barely bothered to recognise that I so much as exist, judge ME. You don't even know me, yet you have the hide to judge me. You have no clue what happened last night, you didn't even make an effort to find out. No you'd rather think I'm a slut, you'd rather sit on your high horse and just assume the worst. Well guess what! I'm not going to take that." I turned around and walked calmly towards the door. "And by the way" I called over my shoulder "Edward and me. We didn't have sex. We're not even together like that. Come find me when you learn to respect me." I walked out the door and began running.
I'd been running for less than two blocks before he caught up to me. In the kitchen with Charlie I was too furious to cry but now the tears came readily. I don't know how he knew not to stop me from running but he didn't. He just held pace with me while I ran in long, steady strides I had long ago mastered. Not surprisingly it started raining but we didn't stop. I just kept running with him beside me as the droplets pelted down. It was a long time that we had been running, I had no clue where we were but I was sure he would guide us back. Suddenly my foot caught a crack in the pavement, I felt myself fall but I didn't too much care. Apparently he did though, because he caught me before I hit the pavement and sat down pulling me onto his lap. I tried to get up, I struggled against his hold. I needed to run more, I couldn't stop now. But he held tighter hushing me "Bella, bee just stop. Its ok."
I stopped struggling and held on tighter gripping his shirt with my hands, curled up in his lap. I don't know how long we we're there. Heck I lost count of the amount of cars that drove past staring at us. I didn't care any more every time a car did I just held myself tighter to him as he comforted me in the rain. He was there for me in a way no one had ever been before. He was my Edward.
EDWARDPOV
When Bella and Charlie left my heart sunk. She looked so sad all I wanted to do was give her a hug. I couldn't believe I let us get in this situation, I should have just slept on the couch. Carlisle soon brought me out of my thoughts "Edward, just tell me nothing happened."
"Carlisle I promise nothing did, we just went to sleep. We're just friends anyway, she doesn't like me that way." I cringed internally at those words because of the truth to them."
"Its ok son, I believe you. How about you change into some clean clothes." I nodded in assent.
"We'll be downstairs making you some breakfast." Esme added before giving me a hug.
"Thanks mum" I murmured into her shoulder.
I changed clothes and went to the window to see if Bella was in her room. She wasn't in there but I looked down at the street for a second and saw Bella run out the front door and down the street. I tore down the stairs and straight out the door not even bothering to explain myself. It didn't take long to catch up to her I was running so fast and when I did I considered stopping her. I changed my mind when I saw the determination in her eyes, even through the heartbroken tears, so I just kept running there beside her not saying a word. We ran for so long we we're getting to streets I haven't been to in years. Suddenly I saw her foot catch on the pavement and I grabbed a hold of her before she could hit the ground. I knew she couldn't run any more she was dead beat but I could still sense the defiance in her. I sat down on the pavement next to her and pulled her onto my lap before she could drag herself up again. She struggled and it broke my heart but I held on tighter holding her to my chest. I tried to calm her and she soon stopped fighting and clung to me instead and I pulled her closer to me holding her as I felt the sobs heaving her body.
The cars drove past and the rain beat down, but still I held her against me. Comforting her in the best way I could. When I felt the sobs stop I knew she had gone to sleep and I knew it was time to get her home. I picked her up and cradled her against my chest then began the long walk home.
I walked in the front door and Esme immediately rushed towards me. "We need to get her into some dry clothes"
Alice rushed forwards with Bella's overnight bag. "Edward take her upstairs to your room, Rose and I will get her changed" I nodded my head and carried her carefully to my room laying her down on the bed. I quietly left the room and made my way back down to the kitchen.
"Edward what happened" asked Esme.
"She must have had a fight with Charlie, a bad one from the looks of it. Do you think she could stay here tonight? If she wants to of course."
"Sure honey, Bella's always welcome, you know that."
"I'm gonna go find Alice, thanks mum." I said before walking up to Alice's room.
I sat on her bed and waited for her to finish helping Bella. I hung my head in my hands and closed my eyes trying to block out the day.
"Edward are you alright?" my sister asked me as she sat down next to me.
"Yeah I'm fine Alice, do you think Bella will be?" I asked her letting the stress show through in my voice.
"Bella's strong you know that. We'll just be here for her and it will all sort out. Now your just as wet as she was, you must be freezing. Go have a shower in my bathroom and I'll bring you some new clothes.
I followed her directions and climbed into the shower. Letting the hot water calm me down and massage my muscles, taking away the stress.
Hey guys thank you all of you that added my story to favourites and story alert. But I got so many more of them than I got reviews and I love to hear what you think of the story even if it isn't anything long. Most of all I want to say thank you to HDcullen for the initial idea behind this chapter. I know it was a short one but a lot happened and I didn't want to drag it out. Oh and as always thanks Shannon for helping me out whenever I don't know what to do.
