Sorry I haven't been updating this one, I have had sooo much homework I felt like I was going to drown in it! This will be my final chapter for this story…sorry I want to continue with my other stories. But please read and review my other stories, thank you to all my faithful readers out there!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters (unfortunately for me)
I had more fun in those two weeks than I had had in my entire life.
The court case went well, Charlie was jailed for 15 years for child abuse *happy dance* and Mom had flown over to Forks to see me.
Sadly she never wants to speak to me again but it's not my fault! Well, maybe it was, just a little.
Everything was going fine with the Cullens, along with my passionate relationship with Edward. Until Mom came over. I had never really thought of Renee to be much of a mother to me, but more of a friend and I had never really had a proper father figure.
Yet in the few weeks I had known the Cullens I had formed an attachment to them beyond all reasoning. I had slipped into calling Esme 'Mom' and Carlisle 'Dad'. It was kind of hard not to, what with everyone else in my 'family' calling them that, it was just too infectious, like an accent, or a smile.
Anyway, Renee came over but without Phil as he was still travelling. Everything was going great, I introduced Renee to everyone and she even seemed to accept Edward as my boyfriend. Then I made a vital mistake.
Flashback
"Here you go dear, beans on toast with grated cheese and bacon, just the way you like it." Esme had said.
"Thanks Mom!"I smiled gratefully at Esme.
"What?!" My mother shrieked. "You call that woman, who you have known for barely two weeks, Mom?! How could you?! My own daughter! I see you have replaced me! Well that's just fine!"
End Flashback
See? After that Renee refused to stay another moment in the house and quickly signed some papers saying that she 'disowned me and everything to do with me". Gee thanks! I thought.
Soon enough though there was some post with what seemed like hundreds of forms in. I was to be officially adopted by the Cullens. I would keep my second name as it was just easier that way and we held a kind of 'ceremony' as Alice called it. I called it a huge trip to the mall on a giant spending spree where they all bought me 'welcoming' presents and Esme gave me my own credit card – though the Pixie wouldn't let me use it. She insisted on buying everything I looked at that I thought was nice.
I loved the presents, though they were too much.
Emmett and Rosalie bought me a sound system for my truck (I had refused to part with it even though they had offered to buy me a new car)
Jasper had bought me some new CD's for my sound system (MCR, Linkin Park, and Paramore)
Alice bought me some 'sexy underwear' – her words not mine – which must have cost a small fortune as there were lots of them in various colours made from pure silk.
Esme and Carlisle put a lot of money on my credit card.
Edward (though he had offered to buy me the moon) got me a beautiful silver locket with a B and an E engraved on it. I felt like I was falling in love all over again.
Back to the pranks.
We all made a pact not to prank each other and so decided to have a little legal fun with Mr Turner's car.
It was Monday morning and it was chucking it down with rain outside. Perfect. We had gathered all of Em and Rose's tool kits together and had set off for school.
When we arrived everyone was already in there first lessons of the day so no one was able to see us.
We found Mr Turner's car parked next to the gym and started to take it to pieces. I say 'we' but what I really mean is Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward took the car to pieces while Alice and I just watched. It wouldn't work if anything was damaged.
When the car was finally in bits (it only took about 30 minutes) we all carried the parts inside the gym. Thank goodness no one had a P.E lesson in the morning!
Putting the car back together took less time than we had anticipated and we quickly hid behind the school shed, waiting for someone to find the fully assembled car 'parked' in the middle of the Gymnasium!
Soon enough there was a loud gasp and a clattering of feet as someone rushed to get a teacher. That teacher just happened to be Mr Turner himself!
"WHAT THE?!" He shouted when he discovered his Ford inside. We burst into silent fits of giggles and ran to our 'get away' cars.
Hilarious.
We also played tricks on Eric, who we found out admired me greatly.
We rang him up (yellow pages) and I told him how Edward and I had 'broken up'. He agreed to meet me for dinner that night.
In the restaurant we were ordering food when, surprise, surprise, in came the Cullens!
"What are they doing here?" Eric sneered. I just shrugged; I loved my family too much to publicly defile them.
About half way through the food I felt Eric's hand resting just above my knee. Not again!
It slowly inched up until I couldn't take it any more and made the secret signal to Edward.
He was there in a flash, looking down at me with a sad face that was so convincing I had to fight the urge to kiss his frown away.
"What is it, Cullen?" Eric snapped.
"Bella, I wanted to apologise." Edward ignored Eric.
"She doesn't want your apologies, she's got me now thank you very much." Eric cut in.
"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings; I was trying to find out the best way to be with you. I'm sorry; I should never had made a list on your good and bad points." Edward hung his head "I wanted to find the best present for you and stuff. I needed to organise my thoughts so I wrote them down."
"Can't you take a hint? We don't want you here. You've caused enough trouble." God I hated Eric.
"She's still wearing the necklace." Edward smirked.
"What necklace?" Eric looked at my chest.
"This one." I said, opening the locket to reveal a picture of Edward and one of myself. Eric seemed to get the idea.
"You… still…" he stuttered.
"Love him? Yes, Eric. I love him very much, I always have and I always will. Now if you'll excuse us." I said, standing up and kissing my Edward fully on the lips. It was the first time I had admitted out loud that I loved him, but once I had said it, I realised how true it was.
"I love you, too." Edward whispered in my ear.
The Cullen party left then, leaving a gob smacked Eric frozen in place.
Next we made prank calls on everyone we knew.
We called up Mr Doughty and asked him to confirm a large shipping of bananas to his house.
We called Miss Slade and asked in a posh English accent whether we could get any room service.
We called Mr Turner and asked him if he needed any 'car repairs'.
We called so many more thanks to the Yellow Pages.
That night I stayed in Edward's bed. (Don't get any ideas, though, nothing happened) We watched movie after movie until we decided to call it a night – at 3 am!
I had officially decided that American Pie was my all time favourite movie!
I fell asleep in Edward's arms. I had such a peaceful feeling, and knew that I would be staying safe in Edward's arms 'til death do us part' as Edward had said when, four years later, he lead me up the isle.
