A/N: You guys rock!!! 100 reviews!!! I am so happy! I'd like to thank RyanPCullen for giving me my 100th review!

I pulled up in front of Bella's house.

"Thank you, Jasper," Bella said, looking up at me as she unclipped her seatbelt.

"You're welcome, Bella." I said, smiling at her. I glanced at the front door. "How do you think your dad will react?" I asked nervously.

"I don't know..." She said, also glancing at the door.

I had called Charlie from the airport in Port Angeles, and he was furious. He didn't think it was appropriate for me and Bella to go away together for a week and a half at this stage in our relationship. Go figure.

"Do you want me to go inside with you?" I asked. She nodded slowly, biting her lip. I got out of the car, and went around to Bella's side of the car. I opened her door and my hand out to her. She took it and got out of the car. I grabbed her bags from the back seat, and slung them over my shoulder. I put my arm over her shoulders, she put hers around my waist, and I led her up to the front door. She unlocked the door, and stepped inside. I followed, and set her bags down by the door.

"Bella! Get in here!" Charlie yelled from the living room. Bella whimpered, and grabbed my hand. I squeezed it reassuringly, and led her into the living room.

"Hey, Chief Swan," I greeted Charlie casually.

"Hi, Dad." Bella squeaked, from where she was half hidden behind me.

"What. The. Hell. Did. You. Think. You. Were. Doing?" Charlie asked slowly, looking at Bella.

"I...um...we...uh...I left you a note...." Bella stuttered.

"A note? A note?! You think you can just leave a note and leave for two weeks?!"

"Um..." Bella said.

"You know, Charlie, Bella is a legal adult. There is nothing wrong with what we did." I said.

"What—you did? You did? You did it, didn't you?!" Charlie yelled.

"I, uh, um, dad, I--" Bella stammered, blushing.

"That's not your business, sir. What Bella does is her business." I said.

"Bella, you're grounded." Charlie said. Bella's shoulders slumped, she hung her head, and her eyes filled with tears.

"What?" I said, astounded.

"Go to your room." Charlie ordered. Bella started to turn, but I caught her shoulder and turned her around again, then pulled her into a hug.

"Charlie, Bella is an adult. A grown woman. You can't ground her." I said.

"Watch me." Charlie sneered.

"Hmm." I said. "Okay. Bella, would you like to come stay at my house with me?" I asked her, looking down at her.

"I would love that," Bella said, smiling slightly through her tears. I brushed her tears away with my lips.

"No!" Charlie said. "I forbid you to go there, Bella!"

"Let's go get your stuff," I said. I led Bella over to the stairs. I grabbed her bag on the way by and we went up to her bedroom.

"Thank you," Bella said, smiling at me.

"No problem, Darlin'." I said, smiling down at her. She quickly packed different clothes and grabbed her school books. I led her back down the stairs. I opened the front door for her.

"Wait--" Charlie started from behind us.

I turned halfway around. "Have a nice night, Chief," I said, then pulled the door shut behind us.

I led Bella back to my car. We got in, and I started the car.

"Do you want to go to my house, or a hotel? Edward will probably be at the house, so..." I trailed off.

"Let's go to your house." Bella said.

I put the car in reverse, and backed out of the driveway. I started the drive to the mansion, then pulled out my phone and called Alice.

"Edward's not here." Alice answered on the first ring.

"Good. Bella and I will be there in a few minutes." I said, then hung up. "Edward's not there." I said to Bella. I felt relief flood her body.

I pulled the car into the garage next to Emmett's Jeep. I helped Bella out of the car, grabbed her bags, and we walked through the house, up to my room. I closed the door behind us, and set her bags down next to it. She sat down on the couch that I had. I didn't have a bed.

I sat next to her on the couch, and she leaned into my shoulder.

"I love you." I whispered into her hair.

"I love you, too." She whispered.

"You're tired." I said suddenly.

"Just a little." She yawned.

I stood up, and grabbed a pillow and a blanket out of my closet. I had no idea why I had them, but right now I was glad I did. Bella had adjusted herself so that she was laying down, but propped up on her elbows. I shook the blanket out and threw it over her, then set the pillow under her head.

"Sit up here with me." Bella said as I made to sit on the floor in front of the couch. I smiled, then sat on the couch next to her head. Bella adjusted the pillow so it was propped against my leg, and laid down. I set my hand on her hair. She sighed deeply, and I quickly got up to turn off the light, returning before Bella had noticed I was gone.

She fell asleep quickly. I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out of my pocket and flipped it open. Alice had texted me. I sighed, and opened the text.

Whatcha doin'? It said.

I texted back, Being a creeper, watching Bella sleep. :)

I smiled thinking back to me and Alice's conversation right after Bella's birthday party, when Alice said she didn't think I was as creepy as Edward.

I texted her again, When was the last time you saw Edward?

She texted, Not since he went to Bella's house to apologize and ended up hitting her. Why?

He came to Isle Esme while Bella and I were there. I texted.

Say what?! She texted.

I just wanted to know if he's been back here since then. I texted, then put my phone away.

My phone vibrated again, but I ignored it. It vibrated again, but again, I ignored it. I honestly didn't care what else Alice said.

"Answer me, damn it!" I heard Alice yell somewhere downstairs.

I rolled my eyes, then pulled out my phone.

The first message said, I can't believe it!

The second said, He's on his way back.

A/N: Oh, the wonderfulness of cliffhangers. Let me know what you think! P.S. If anyone has any vampire characters made by the rules of the Twilight Saga that they would like in this story, let me know. I love OC's, and have an idea for how I could use one in this story.
