Forget Me Not
Chapter 11 – Jacksonville
BPOV
I woke up the next morning to Alice pounding on Edward's door. Edward's head was rested on my chest. One of his hands was resting on my thigh and the other was entwined with mine.
"Edward! Bella! Wake up!"
"Go away Alice," Edward groaned.
"Get your asses out of bed!"
"Just ignore her. She'll go away eventually," I mumbled.
Alice threw open the door and it hit the wall with a loud bang. She came over to the bed and put her hands on her hips before tapping her toe impatiently.
"Can I help you?" Edward grumbled.
"How about you get out of bed when I ask?" Alice asked.
"Because I'm tired and I am comfy and I just want to sleep for a few more hours."
"Your head isn't on a pillow, Edward-o," Alice sighed.
"I know that, Ali-kins," he said. Alice got on the bed and started jumping. Edward grabbed her leg and she fell on top of the bed. She smacked him on the leg and he sat up and ruffled her hair.
"Edward!" she screeched.
"Out!" he yelled. "Go fix your hair or something," he added. She walked out and grumbled under her breath. I caught an Edward is such an imbecile somewhere in her rant. Edward laid down again with his head on my chest and hands in their previous places. With my free hand I combed through his messy hair. He sighed contently.
"Oh!" Alice said as she came back into the room. Edward groaned and sat up.
"Alice, what do you want?" he asked exasperated.
"Jazzy and I are going to his house. Emmett and Rose are there. You guys can come if you want. Mom and Dad are at work."
"We'll be over later. I'm still tired," I mumbled.
"Party poopers," she mumbled as she walked out. Edward laid back down and put his arm over his eyes. When I heard Alice's car pull out of the driveway I sat up and straddled Edward. He kept his arm over his eyes but a smile now played on his lips. I leaned down and kissed him.
Edward dragged his hands up my body to the bottom of my sports bra. I helped him take it off and his hands went to my breasts. My lips made my way back to his before they molded together.
"Are you sure?" Edward asked breathily as we broke away for air.
"Yes," I said as I kissed his neck. He moved his hands down to my pants and slid both of my pants and panties down as far as he could. I pulled them off the rest of the way. I pulled Edward's boxers down and he kicked them onto the floor. Edward grabbed the condom off of the bedside table and slid it on in one swift move. We rolled so that I was on my back.
"Ready?" he asked. I nodded. He leaned down and kissed me and I curled my fingers in his hair. I felt him slowly enter me and then a rip. I gasped in pain and lightly pulled Edward's hair. He cupped the side of my face and captured my lips again. After the slight pain subsided he started bucking his hips softly. When I broke away for air he moved his lips to my neck.
"I love you," I moaned. My hips met his halfway with every buck. I felt a tightening in my abdomen that kept getting tighter and tighter. Edward moaned against my neck before I felt myself come undone. My vision went blurry for a few seconds before it focused again.
"Fuck," Edward groaned as he came. He rode out his orgasm as he thrust into me a few more times before he pulled out and laid next to me. We laid there in silence as we caught our breath. Nothing needed to be said. Everything was said through what we just did. Edward threw the condom out and covered us with the blankets. He showered my neck with kisses and I sighed contently.
My cell phone went off and I groaned.
"Ignore it," Edward mumbled. I grabbed the phone and looked who it was. I pushed Edward off of me slightly before answering it.
"Hi daddy," I said in a peppy voice.
"Hey, Bells. I just wanted to let you know that I am on my way home. It's storming so Billy and I aren't going to fish. I'll see you in a few, okay?"
"Okay, do you want me to make you lunch?" I asked.
"That would be great," he said happily.
"See you in a few," I said as I hung up. Edward went back to kissing my neck. "I have to go make Charlie lunch. You can come if you'd like," I smiled.
"I'd love to," he said as he kissed my lips one last time before we got out of bed and got dressed. Edward held my hand as we walked over to my house. When we got inside we headed over to the kitchen.
I got out bread, mustard, ham, cheese, tomatoes, turkey and mayonnaise.
"Do you want one?" I asked Edward.
"I can make it," he said as he grabbed a knife for each of us out of the drawer. We started making the sandwiches. I grabbed the mayonnaise except Edward took it from me.
"Excuse you!" I laughed.
"Yes?" he asked with a smirk.
"I believe I was using that."
"This?" he asked as he pointed to the jar.
"Yes, that," I said. I held my hand out for him to give the jar to me. He stuck his knife into the jar and then slapped some onto my hand. "Ew!" I laughed. I brought it up to his face quickly and rubbed it on his cheek. I wiped the rest onto some paper towel.
"Thank you, Bella," Edward said sarcastically before taking some paper towel himself and wiping it off. I finished making my dad's sandwich and set it down at his seat. I took a seat myself and Edward sat next to me. I laid my head on the table and closed my eyes.
"Tired?" Edward chuckled.
"Just a tad," I mumbled.
"Then I did good," he said triumphantly.
"Don't get cocky," I sighed. "Wait…that didn't sound right. Don't let it go to your head…damn it, that didn't either," I rambled.
"I understand," he laughed. "Your mind is in the gutter."
"I can't help it!" I giggled.
"Bells, I'm home," my dad called as he came into the door.
"In here!" I called back. He came into the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Hello, Edward," Charlie said as he sat down.
"Hey, Charlie," Edward smiled.
"How have you been?"
"I've been great, Charlie. How was fishing?"
"We didn't go. It's storming in La Push and it's heading our way."
"More rain, great," I groaned.
"You live in Forks, Washington, Bells. You should be used to this by now," Charlie chuckled. The phone rang and I jumped up to get it.
"Hello?" I called as I answered the phone.
"Bella!" my mother's voice sang.
"Hey, mom. What's up?"
"Well, I was thinking. I know that I just left from Forks but I was wondering if you wanted to come to Jacksonville. You haven't been down here yet and you would love it here," she said.
"Okay, sounds good to me," I said.
"Bring Emmett too," she added.
"Alright, I'll call you back when I get the tickets."
"Okay sweetie, bye." I hung up the phone and turned to look at Edward and Charlie.
"What did Renee want?" Charlie asked.
"She wants us to come to Jacksonville."
"Go talk to Emmett about it," Charlie said. I nodded. I went over to Edward and pulled him by the hand up to Emmett's room. I knocked on his door before opening it.
"Em?" I called.
"Yeah, squirt?" he asked as he looked up from his laptop.
"Mom just called. She wants us to come to Jacksonville for a few days. You up for it?" I asked.
"Yeah sounds like fun. Get the tickets and I'll get packing," Emmett smiled.
"Okay," I grinned as I pulled Edward into my room. He sat on my bed while I sat at the computer and looked up a ticket for tomorrow morning. Edward came over to stand behind me and he started kissing my neck chastely. I leaned my head so he could get better access and bit my lip to refrain from moaning.
"I love you," he hummed against my skin as he trailed kisses up my neck. Eventually he reached the side of my lips and I turned to kiss him.
"I love you too," I smiled. After I clicked to buy the tickets I turned and wrapped my arms around Edward's neck as he leaned down to my height. He lifted me up out of the chair and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"My mom invited you and Alice to come to Jacksonville," I said.
"Really?" he asked as he trailed his lips up my neck.
"Yeah. You should go home and figure out if you can go," I smiled as he kissed my jaw. He groaned but reluctantly put me down.
"I'll talk to you later," he smiled before kissing me chastely. He climbed out my window and I went into Emmett's room.
"Call Rose and see if she and Jazz can go to Jacksonville," I said as I walking in. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Rosalie's number.
"Hey baby," he smiled. I jumped on his bed and laid back with my arms crossed behind my neck. "Do you and Jasper want to go to Jacksonville?" he asked. "Okay, sweet. I'll pick you up tomorrow," he smiled as he hung up the phone. I smiled as I got up and went into my room. Moments later my phone went off.
"Hello?" I answered.
"We have to go shopping!" Alice squealed.
"Woah, Al, slow down. Why are you shouting in my ear?"
"We're going to Florida, Bella! We have to go get Florida clothes!" she said excitedly.
"Alright," I sighed. "Meet you outside in five." I hung up the phone and put on some sandals and fixed my hair before going downstairs to grab my purse. "Dad," I called. "I'm going shopping for Jacksonville. Be back later." I walked out and met up with Alice.
We got into Alice's Porsche and drove to the mall. We got out and went into almost every store. Alice picked out every low cut shirt and short shorts that she laid eyes on for me. I got a new swim suit that has 'sexy' written on the butt. By the time we were done Alice had bought me at least five different fragrances in lotion and perfume, and seven large bags worth of clothing.
We drove home and I started packing before I laid in bed and texted Edward.
Bella: are you excited? (:
Edward: I get to leave Forks and spend a few days with my girlfriend. I'm dreading it, lol.
Bella: you are such an asshole! Haha
Edward: but you love me.
Bella: unfortunately. Lol
Edward: how much did Alice torture you?
Bella: seven large bags of clothing worth.
Edward: Alice will be Alice
Bella: yeah. I'm going to bed. Goodnight, love you.
Edward: love you too. Sweet dreams.
I plugged my phone into my charger before turning the light out and falling asleep.
The next morning I felt someone crawl onto the bed with me. I felt a pair of lips trail up my jaw to my ear.
"It's time to wake up," Edward whispered. I smiled but groaned. "Hey, hey, no groaning. We've got a plane to catch. Let's go," he said as he got off the bed and pulled me up into a sitting position.
"Edward, I'm tired," I complained.
"You can sleep when you die," he laughed.
"You sound like your sister," I giggled. He pulled me up and went over to my closet. I sat in my chair as he threw clothes at me. I put my shirt on over the sports bra I had on and I shed my shorts to put on the denim shorts Edward had thrown at me. I ran the brush through my hair before I put it up in a high bun. I grabbed my luggage and followed Edward downstairs.
"Dad, Bella's finally downstairs. We're leaving," Emmett called.
"Bye, kids. Have fun!" Charlie said as he came down the stairs. We walked out to Emmett's Jeep and piled everything in the back before piling ourselves in. In the front sat Emmett, Rose, and Alice with Rose squished in the middle. In the back sat Edward, me and Jasper. I rested my head on Edward's shoulder and waited for the car ride to end.
"Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall," Jasper started.
"NO!" we all yelled at the same time.
"You guys suck," he laughed.
"Did you know that I have never left Washington?" Rose said.
"Well, after today, you won't be able to say that again," Emmett said. We drove to the airport and got our luggage checked in before going to the terminal.
"Bella! Let's go get coffee!" Alice said happily.
"Al, you don't need coffee," I laughed.
"I drink decaf."
"Good," I smiled. I got up and went over to her and Rose. We walked off to get coffee, leaving the guys there.
"I'm so excited!" Alice said.
"Me too!" I smiled. We walked up to the counter and ordered our coffee. I got an iced caramel coffee, Alice got the same thing as me in decaf, and Rose got hot tea. We went back to the terminal and soon after boarded the plane.
"There are snakes on the plane!" Emmett whispered to Edward and me through the space between the seats.
"Shut up, Emmett!" I laughed. We took off soon after that. When we landed we got off and went to baggage.
"Over here," Edward said as he pointed to my mom who was standing on her tiptoes to try and see where we were. When she spotted us looking at her she waved. We carried our luggage over to where she stood and hugged her and Phil.
"Hey kiddo, how have you been?" Phil asked.
"I've been great. How about you?"
"I've been good, busy, but good," Phil smiled. He turned to Emmett. "You must be the legendary Emmett that I have heard so much about," he said as he held out his hand.
"Yeah, and you must be Phil," Emmett said as he slapped his hand into Phil's before shaking it. We introduced Phil to everyone else before making it out to my mom's van.
"Are we all gonna fit?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, we'll just have to squeeze in. It isn't a long ride," Phil said. The guys got in and then we squeezed in between them, ending up with me on Edward's laps. We drove about ten minutes until we got to a fairly big white house that had a wraparound porch and blue shudders.
"Mom, this is beautiful!" I said as I climbed out of the car.
"Go choose your room," she smiled. "Up the stairs and to the right. You and Emmett can choose whatever room you guys want and we'll make the third the guest room for Jasper and Ali."
"Call whatever room I want!" I yelled as I raced Emmett up the stairs. I tripped a few times but just barely made it up the stairs before Emmett. I walked into a large room with a king sized bed and an oak dresser with a walk in closet.
"Awe man!" I heard Emmett call from the door. "I found the small room!" he whined as he walked into the room.
"Shotty this room!" I said quickly.
"Nope, I'm older." He came over and picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
"Emmett!" I screamed. "Put me down! This room is mine! You asshole!" I yelled. He set me outside of the room and shut the door in my face. I heard the lock click and I started pounding on the door. "Emmett! Open this damned door!"
"What is going on up here?" my mom laughed as she came up the stairs.
"Tell Emmett to give me my room back!" I said as I pointed to the door.
"Who got there first?" she asked.
"Me! He came in and whined about finding the smaller room before picking me up and locking me out of the room!"
"Em, babe, let Bella have the room," my mom said as she knocked on the door.
"But why?" he whined. "Bella got the room she wanted when she was in Phoenix!"
"Bella saw it first," she said.
"Fine," he pouted as he went downstairs.
"I am the champion, my friends! And I keep on fighting till the end! I am the champion, I am the champion. No time for Emmett cause I am the champion of the world!" I laughed as I made up my own rendition of Queen's classic song while walking down the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah, Bella," Emmett grumbled.
"What's going on?" Jasper asked confused.
"I got the bigger room," I smiled. Jasper just shook his head.
"You two are such children," he joked.
"You say that like it's a bad thing," I laughed.
"Alright, kids, get settled in. We're going out to eat," Renee said as she clapped her hands. I led Edward up to our room.
"Hey, no," my mom said as she walked into the room. "Girls do not sleep in the same room as guys."
"Mom, dad lets us all the time," I complained.
"Hey, it's okay," Edward said as he kissed my cheek. "Where am I staying Renee?" he asked.
"Well, Alice and Rose are staying in here. You can stay in the guest room and Jasper is staying in a spare room and Emmett will be in his room. I know you guys don't like sleeping in the same beds so that works good, right?" she asked.
"Yeah, that's fine," Edward smiled.
"I'll show him to his room," I mumbled. I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards a room that was empty besides a bed and dresser. He set his stuff down and pulled me to him. He lightly captured my lips with his and kissed me slowly. I wrapped my arms around his back and grabbed fistfuls of his shirt.
"Come on everyone!" Phil called. "We're going to get dinner!" Edward grabbed my hand and we walked down the stairs. We all headed out and started walking to a restaurant that was down the street. We walked in and sat down before ordering.
"So, update me on your life. You didn't really have time to when I came down for your graduation," my mom said as we started eating.
"Well, Edward and I are engaged, and I'm pregnant," I joked. Edward choked on some Coca-Cola he was drinking and we all laughed.
"This is news to me," he joked.
"Yeah, yeah," I laughed. "So, nothing is really going on in Forks. Just the same ol', same ol'," I shrugged.
"Are you missing Phoenix?" she asked.
"Not as much as I thought I would."
We finished dinner with some chit chat, never really staying on one topic. After dinner we walked back to the house and headed up to bed.
"Night," I said to my mom and Phil.
"Night, sweetie," Renee replied. I walked up to my room and kissed Edward goodnight before crawling into my ridiculously large bed with Alice and Rose and falling asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night and went downstairs for a glass of water. I was on the stairs when I heard my mom talking on the phone.
"She's seventeen!" she said in a hushed yell. "Charlie, do you even know what is going on in her life?" she paused to listen to my dad. "I think she's had sex with him! Whenever he shifts she does! She shouldn't be in this serious of a relationship at her age!" another pause. "Maybe she should move out here. Go to school here." I sat down on the stairs as I listened. "What do you mean not want her to be happy? She is my daughter, damn it! I want her to be as happy as possible! But if Edward decides that he likes some girl in California better than Bella then he's going to leave her. Toss her to the side like yesterday's news. She's going to be heartbroken!" another pause as Charlie talked. "Why do I think she's had sex? Well, she joked about being pregnant and engaged and Edward nearly drowned on his soda!" she paused again. "Fine, but this conversation is far from over. Seriously consider what is best for Bella. Goodnight." She slapped her phone shut and stood up. I quietly made my way back to my room.
Move out here? I thought. She honestly thinks that I will be better off out here? I would hate living here! She doesn't know what is best for me if she thinks that moving out here is best. I let out a frustrated sigh before falling asleep again.
"Bella, wake up," my mom said softly.
"What," I grumbled before realizing that she doesn't know that I heard her end of the conversation so she wouldn't know I was mad at her.
"It's time to wake up. Everyone else is up and we're going to Disney," she said before walking out. I sat up and got out of bed. I walked downstairs and put some bread in the toaster.
"Good morning," Edward said as he came over to stand by me. I moved away from him slightly to put some space between us. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I'll tell you later," I smiled half-heartedly. "It's nothing you did," I assured him. He held his hand out and I took it happily. I pulled my toast out of the toaster and took my hand from Edward's as I buttered it. I ate it slowly in one hand as I took Edward's hand in the other again.
"Bella! Go get ready!" My mom said as she came down the stairs.
"Can't I eat breakfast?"
"Take it with you. We have to go soon!" I groaned and took my breakfast upstairs as I went to my room. I changed into some shorts and a tank top and went back downstairs.
"Ready?" my mom asked. I nodded. We all walked out to the car.
"We won't all fit so, Bella, you're driving the Challenger," Phil said as he tossed the keys to his car over. I looked at him with a stunned look on my face. His 1985 Dodge Challenger? This car is his baby.
"Thanks," I smiled. "Edward is coming with me," I said as I pulled him over to the car. My mom looked like she was about to stop us but we got into the car and started it. We followed my mom and Phil as they pulled out.
"So what was up this morning?" Edward asked.
"Renee knows we've had sex," I said hesitantly as I looked at him.
"How did she figure out?" he asked shocked.
"When I joked about being pregnant."
"That wasn't funny by the way," he said seriously.
"It was in my head. When I said it, it wasn't as funny. But anyway, she was talking to my dad on the phone last night. I woke up and went to go get a glass of water and I heard her on the phone." I explained what happened on the phone between Renee and Charlie.
"I would never do that to you," he confided as he looked at me.
"I know," I said. "You assure me of that almost every day."
"So she wants you to move out here?" he asked.
"Yeah. It's not going to happen though. If she even knew me she would know that I wouldn't be happy out here. She would know that I'm happy in Forks and that I don't belong here."
"Don't let her get to you," Edward said as he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it.
"I'm trying," I smiled slightly. After another half hour we arrived at Disney World and got out. Edward held my hand and I tossed the keys to Phil. We walked into the park, got out tickets and then went to the different places around the park. We went on all the rides ranging from Dumbo to Aladdin.
"Let's go onto the tea cup ride!" Alice said. She pulled Rose and me over to the line for the tea cup spinning ride with the guys and my mom and Phil close behind us. We waited in line for about twenty minutes before getting onto the ride. When it started we all began turning the plate in the middle. Everything outside of our teacup began to blur. All too soon the ride was over.
"Guys, it's getting late, let's get going. You have an early flight tomorrow."
"Alright," we all agreed.
"Here Emmett," Phil said as he tossed the Challenger keys to Emmett.
"Hey!" I argued.
"You got it on the way here," Phil chuckled.
"Booya!" Emmett said as he and Rose got into the car. Edward and I climbed into the far back of my mom's van. Edward rested his hand on my thigh and I leaned against his shoulder. After a silent ride back to the house we were back at Renee's. We all got out and we went inside.
"We're heading to bed," Alice said as all six of us headed upstairs.
"Goodnight kids," my mom called from the living room. I went up to my room and waited for the phone call I knew would go on. About a half hour later I was almost asleep when I heard one faithful word.
"Charlie!" my mom said loud enough for me to hear. I crept out of bed and went to the stairs. I sat down on the top stair and listened. She had him on speaker this time.
"Renee, she won't be happy. Don't make her move out there."
"I can't just stand by while my daughter is doing things that she shouldn't be! I raised her different than that!"
"Look, Renee, I know that you're upset but you have to realize that she isn't a baby. She can make her own decisions." Go Charlie, I thought.
"She is seventeen. She shouldn't be making reckless decisions!"
"She is responsible! I know for a fact that whatever she's doing, she is doing it in a safe manner." Charlie was remaining so calm during all of this.
"A safe manner?" Renee spat. "That's total bullshit! We were safe when I got pregnant with Emmett, Charlie."
"Calm down, Renee," Charlie said.
"She's moving here. That's final. I want her fully moved out here within the next two weeks. I'll file for full custody if I have to," Renee threatened. I couldn't believe my ears.
"You can't take her away from me, Renee. She's happy here! What do you think moving out here would do to her?" Charlie said getting angered.
"She'll be temporarily upset, I know. But she'll get over it," Renee said. It's my time to intervene.
"Get over it?" I said angrily as I walked down the stairs. "What do you mean, get over it? I would never get over it."
"Bella," my mom said as she stood up. "I'll call you back Charlie," she said as she hung up the phone.
"Don't be so melodramatic, Bella. You moving out here is for the better," she said.
"For the better? This isn't home. This will never be home. Forks is home. Phoenix is home. Jacksonville is not and will never be home," I said angrily. "Besides, I'm going to college in about two months anyways."
"Good, you can go to college out here."
"No, I can't. The application deadline has already passed and I want to go to U Dub."
"How much of our conversation did you eavesdrop on?" Renee asked.
"Enough to know that Charlie is on my side."
"You are moving out here, Bella. I am not going to stand by while my daughter is sleeping around with her boyfriend."
"We aren't sleeping around!" I defended myself. "We had sex once. That's it."
"Oh, that's it, huh? That's it? That's not it," my mom spat. "You need to be more responsible!"
"Responsible? I believe that I am being responsible for using a condom. Or for getting straight A's throughout school. I am responsible, mom!"
"Go to bed, Bella. You're moving out here and there is nothing you can do to prevent it."
"No, I'm not," I said as I walked upstairs.
"You are," she said as she followed me up the stairs. I passed my room. "Where are you going?"
"To bed." I opened Edward's door and walked in.
"Bella!" my mom started before I closed the door and locked it. I heard my mom give out an angry groan as she walked downstairs. I climbed onto Edward's bed and laid under the covers next to him.
"Hello," he said groggily as he threw his arm over me. I just sighed and curled up closer to him. "You okay?" he asked.
"No," I mumbled against his bare shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"My mom wants me to move out here."
"Why?"
"Because she thinks I am being irresponsible. She wants me out here in two weeks."
"She'll have to pry you from my arms first," he smiled before kissing me. Our lips molded together and I grabbed fistfuls of Edward's hair. He rolled so that I was lying on his chest. He pulled away and I started kissing his chest. He let out a content sigh. I planted one last kiss on his lips before pulling back and looking in his eyes.
"You're gorgeous," he smiled. I felt the blush creep up onto my cheeks. I was thankful that it was probably too dark for him to see it. "Are you blushing?" he asked as he trailed his fingers across my cheek. "Why are you blushing?" he chuckled.
"I don't know," I laughed. He leaned up and kissed me again. I shifted so that I was lying next to him and he held me in his arms. I snuggled as close as I could to him and fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up to Edward getting out of bed.
"Why are you getting up?" I grumbled.
"Because we slept in too late, we have to leave soon," he said as he pulled the sheets off of me. I got up and unlocked the door before opening it and walking out. I went into my room where Alice and Rose were doing their hair and make-up.
"Finally you got out of bed!" Rose said as she saw me in the mirror. "We tried waking you guys up half an hour ago but the door was locked."
"Yeah, that was to prevent my mother from getting in," I said grumpily.
"Who shit in your cheerios?" Alice asked.
"Ha, ha, Alice, you're so funny," I said sarcastically. "My mom wants me to move out here within the next two weeks. She's threatening to take Charlie to court for full custody of me for the next, oh, three months."
"That's dumb," Alice muttered.
"Tell me about it," I sighed. I walked over to my luggage and grabbed some jeans and a t-shirt. I changed into them before brushing the kinks out of my hair and putting it up in a high messy bun. I packed my remaining luggage and headed downstairs with Rose and Alice.
"Good morning girls," my mom greeted. Rose and Alice said a cheery good morning while I didn't acknowledge that she spoke. "Bella, your dad will have most of your stuff packed by the time you get home today. You'll be moving here around Friday."
"Great, moving to my own personal Hell," I said angrily.
"Lose the bitchy attitude, Isabella," my mom scolded.
"Then don't make me move," I countered.
"You're moving, that's the end of it."
"Why?" I asked.
"Not now, Bella. Call me when you get home if you want to talk. I am not going through this with you in front of your friends." I went over to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. The guys came down the stairs and we left. My mom dropped us off at the airport.
"I'll see you soon, Bells," my mom called. I slammed the door before walking into the airport hand in hand with Edward.
"I'm not letting you move," he whispered in my ear as we waited in line for luggage check.
"I'm not letting her take me from my home," I said. Once we were done with checking our luggage we went through security and went to our terminal. We boarded our plane about a half hour later and the plane took off. Once we got home we went out to Emmett's Jeep and drove home.
"I'll see you later," Edward smiled as he kissed me quickly.
"Bye," I smiled. I walked inside with Emmett.
"Dad, we're home," I called.
"Hey guys!" he said as he came down the stairs. He looked at me cautiously before turning to Emmett and nodding.
"Why did you look at me like that?" I asked.
"Don't be angry," he said as he held his hands up. I went up to my room and saw that it was filled with boxes.
"You seriously gave up!" I asked, astounded.
"Bella, your mother was threatening me with court!"
"What about what I want? Did you two stop and think about that? I'm happy here. If mom would stop fighting you for a few minutes she would see that."
"I know Bells. But, we need to have a serious talk," he sighed.
"Dad," I whined.
"Hey, you brought this on yourself," he said seriously. He sat down in my chair and I sat on my bed and curled up with my back against the wall.
"Alright," I sighed. "Talk."
"How long have you and Edward…you know," he said hesitantly.
"We did it once," I groaned. "The day after his birthday." I hid my face in my knees from embarrassment.
"Were you guys being safe?"
"Yes, dad."
"Look, Bella, I know that you're being responsible but there's no really avoiding it." I pulled my head up and looked at him.
"Dad, I don't want to move! I'm happy here! You can't make me go!" I said, my voice cracking slightly. "The love of my life is here! My brother is here! My best friends are here! My dad is here!" I ranted. "I just got here and now she wants me to leave." By the end of my rampage I was in tears.
"Awe, Bells," my dad said as he came over to me. He sat next to me and put his arm around me. I sniffled and wiped away my tears. "Hey, don't cry. Just give your mom a shitload of attitude and she'll let you move back," he joked.
"Dad, I'm not in the mood. When am I moving?" I asked.
"Well, your mom called me today and she said as soon as possible."
"And what constitutes as soon as possible?"
"Tomorrow or Wednesday."
"Okay," I said after a few moments of silence. "I'm done fighting with mom to let me stay." I got up and went into the hall. I grabbed a towel out of the linen closet and went into the bathroom. I started the shower and let the water heat up. Once it was heated I undressed and stepped into the shower. Only then did I let the sobs escape.
Hey everyone!
Sorry I have been slacking on updating! I have writer's block on Living the Life and I have been super busy so when I would sit down to write I would write maybe a page and then have to get up and leave. Well, school gets out in a few weeks so I will be writing more! Keep checking to see if I have updated on my other story but until then adieu. Oh, and don't forget to REVIEW! Thanks!
Lots of Love,
Nikki
