It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and something dawned on me.
"Edward, did you see Esme or Dad pack anything for this trip?" I asked. He pursed his lips and shook his head 'no'.
"No…were they supposed to?" he asked.
"Yeah, they were." I mused.
"Hey Carter, Rochelle, Vic. You guys awake?" I asked. I saw James and Vic come up from the blanket and Vic's hair was a little messed up and so was James'.
"Tell me you didn't…" I trailed off.
"Sorry Bells! I couldn't help myself! But damn is he a good kisser" she smiled. This is not happening! I saw James smile at that and look to me and it faltered a little. He looked to Edward then me then bit his lip. What the…?
"First don't say damn, and did you see Dad or Esme pack up anything?" I asked.
"Yeah, I saw Daddy put some storage contaniners in the trunk now talk to you later" she said as sje and James went under the blanket.
"Stay safe James! Use the condom I gave you!" Edward laughed.
"Oh shut up you asshole!" Vic said and threw a shoe at Edward's head which it hit.
"Vic!" I said. I heard nothing. I sighed and saw we were running out of gas.
"Didn't you pump a full tank?" I asked turning to Edward.
"I didn't?" he asked. I yawned and shook my head. He sighed and pulled over. I yawned and pulled the blanket around me and used my sweater as a makeshift pillow.
"Edward, can I trust you to let me sleep for an hour and not crash my car?" I asked sleepily. He laughed and held my hand. I smiled at the touch and I liked it. I liked it?
"So did I" he smiled. Did I say that outloud again?
"Yeah, you did" he chuckled. I squeezed his hand and smiled as a dreamt of the dreamland. A place Laine and I shared together.

I stared at our intertwined fingers and looked to Bella, who was curled up in a ball, sleeping. She looked so peaceful. Her full lips were parted and I just wanted to kiss them.
What the fuck are you thinking Platt? This is Bella freaking Cullen or Swan or whatever the fuck her name is! You can't like her! That shit just hit the fan! Mom would kill you!
My mind was yelling at me, but something about Bella and the way she doesn't put up with my shit and doesn't take crap from anyone, made me realize she isn't one of those girls that lay on their backs with their legs spread wide waiting for some dick to come along.
Bella, she was different. She had a different background no one I've ever met has had. Between her stressing out with Carlisle, her biological Dad Chief Swan, and looking after her siblings while dealing with both her mother's deaths. My mother is Bella's 2nd un-biological mother. Both her deceased mothers are in Heaven, looking down at her.
Renee and Laine must be so proud. Bella is the ideal daughter on the outside. She gets straight A's, has perfect attendance and citizenship, she's liked by all of Forks, head of the cheer squad, is a great older sister to all her siblings, and most of all is the kindest and sweetest person you'll ever meet.
I know, Edward Cullen can be so deep at times! Not all of me is asshole like. I have my moments.
I saw the clock and calculated what time we might get there. We left around 1 o'clock, and it was 4 o'clock now. We should be there by 6. Great.
Bella POV
Edward and I were so tired of driving we resorted to letting Rochelle drive the rest of the way there. I finally caught up on some sleep. We switched seats with Carter and Rochelle and we took up the backseat and we took up the whole front seat. Sean and Brianna went into the trunk and just slept there. I felt bad.
"Bells, we're here. Edward, um, we're here now." Carter whispered and I opened to my eyes to see the campsite. I grinned and looked to him. We did a mini happy dance and Edward's yawn killed it. I smiled at him and he smiled back as I lifted myself off of him and he stared at me and it got creepy after while so I got out if the car and yelled in happiness as I saw the sun.
"Ok, that was random" Edward smirked as he got out of the car after me and went to help his mother with some stuff. It was sweet how he treated his mother.
"Where's Carlisle?" I asked. Carter, Rochelle, and Vic stared at me. Ok, people, what'd I do this time?
"What?" I asked. Carter and Vic shared a look as they got out boxes.
"You called Dad Carlisle" Rochelle said. Yeah, and?
"So?"
"You always used to call him Daddy"
"Well Rochelle, I've been thinking, and he's not my real father, so why call him 'Daddy' is he isn't?" I asked with a shrug, helping Vic with her box.
"Bella, you're crazy! Most adopted children call their adoptive fathers 'Dad'." Carter said.
"I'm not adoptded, I'm still related to him. I'm just not his daughter" I said and I saw the Platts talking quietly beside themselves.
"Bella, you'll really hurt his feelings if he heard that. Even calling him Uncle Carlisle will hurt him" Vic pointed out. I sighed. She was somewhat right. I looked to Frankie and Rochelle reading Christine by Stephen King, and Christy by Katherine Marshall. I smiled. I always like that name Christine.
"Fine, I get it. I'll talk to him later tonight" I said and put on my sunglasses. I let out a happy gush of air and smiled. I loved coming to the campsite. It was always hot, and the lake was beautiful! I slid on my sunglasses and started unloading the boxes.
"Hey Bella?" Alice asked uneasily. I looked towards her and she was staring at the park rangers car.
"Yes?" I asked. She ran over to me and slipped something into my pocket.
"Don't tell anyone where you got that ok?" she asked. I nodded and took it out then my eyes went wide.
Edward POV
"So, you ever been camping?" Carter asked as we started setting up tents. I looked to him and shook my head.
"We never really went out as a family." I told him as I started putting up the many tents. Carter played with pockets and got out the hammer for the nails. Ha handed me it as I fug them into the dry dirt. I imagined it was our principal's face and the hammer was my hand. I grinned and hammed it harder.
"Suck that motherfucker! Oh!" I yelled at the nail and grinned as I saw Carter staring at me like I was a freak.
"God, you have to get used to this!" I laughed at him and took the hammer and ran over to Alice with it. I was practically sprinting as she shrieked and ran away.
"Jasper!" she yelled but I just hear him laugh. Alice ran into a bench and rammed her head on a nail.
"Oh my lord!" I heard someone yell. I saw Carlisle and a park ranger run over to us .
"Edward Anthony!" mom shrieked and ran over. Ha! Take that Ali Cat!
"She's freaking bleeding! Edward! In the car now!" Mom yelled. I happily went over to the car but the ranger stopped me.
"The hammer son. This is a warning" he said and I grudgingly handed over the weapon. Yes, that's right, a weapon!
"Edward, you're sister has to have stitches" I heard Carter say to me. What? He's still with me? Wait! Alice has to have stitches? Yes!
"Woo! Alice! Green or blue?" I called from across our lot. I saw her forehead they were bright green.
"Green!" she yelled and pointed to her forehead. Yup, green! My eye color! Yes! Holy Ali, I love you.
"Good choice baby sis!" I yelled at her. She got that look that was far-out then she jumped and squealed.
"That rhymed!"
"No it didn't!" everyone else called back to her.
"You guys ruin everything" she said as she picked at her stitches. I saw red stuff then she screamed again.
"If you guys scream one more time, I'm pullin ya" the ranger said from his little cop car.
I wanted to egg it so badly.
"Carlisle? Do we have eggs?" I asked Carlisle.
"No Edward, you are not going to egg his car! If you do, you owe me money for how much money your fine would be!" Mom called.
Aw. I was really looking forward to it! Oh well, I'll just TP the park.
Sorry this wasn't as funny, I'm so tired, and I just got back from NYC visting my family and they're 3 hours ahead so I'm time confused.
Sorry if I tried too hard for this to be funny. Hopefully I don't look like a wannabe.
Thank you!
Lovely Lizzy
