So a few people were confused by Bella's comment about Renee being as bad as Charlie. Just to refresh your memories, aside from the fact that Charlie was cheating on Renee when Bella was a child (Chapter 1) it was also implied that Charlie was a bit of an absentee parent, often spending his bi-weekly visitation times with various girlfriends instead of his daughter(Chapters 4&5) Hope that clear things up.

CHAPTER 12
•~Bella Swan~•
Over the last few years things had become... strained between Renee and me. I couldn't put my finger on the exact moment when it all changed, because I was pretty sure it was a gradual thing, but at some point in the last three years, Renee stopped being my best friend.
She became bossy and often bitchy, obsessed with money and status, I could hardly stand to be around her.
It was a sad day when I preferred staying over at Charlie's instead of at Mom and Edward's.
My relationship with my step-dad hadn't changed all that much. I had to admit that Edward had become a tad overprotective of me where boys were concerned, Riley especially, but he still talked to me like an adult and treated me like a friend.
So yeah, between Edward and me - things were good.
A/N
Just a short one, I know, but there will be another, longer update tonight. Thoughts?
Until later...
