-1AN: I had another overnight babysitting job. I had so much fun, well the most fun you can have with a 12 yr old who swears compulsively and a 8 yr old who's obsessed with sex and loves to show people her mom's vibrator and a book that has a different "position" for every day of the year. Let's just say, my mind is very tainted right now. The best part was that I got to play Guitar Hero 3!! YAY ME!! Now I am all hyped up on chocolate. YAY CHOCOLATE!!

Disclaimer: TWILIGHT IS MINE!!! FINALLY!!! ::evil laugh:: Oh crap, Stephenie Meyer is here. She wants Twilight back. CRAP! ::Stephenie gives evil-give-me-Twilight-or-I-will-kill-you look:: Ok, here you go. It's all yours::runs away::

Chapter 13

The Attorney

I was waken by a soft kiss. "Time to get up." the velvet voice whispered in my ear.

I groaned and pulled the covers closer to me. "No."

The voice laughed, "Come on. We have school." He poked my sides.

I was trying not to laugh, "Stop, Edward." he started to tickle me more. "Alright, alright, I give up. I'll get up!" I pulled the covers off, sat up and threw my legs over the side. Edward was standing in front of me. He grabbed my hands and as he pulled me up I said, "I should have never told you that I was ticklish, now every time you are going to use it against me."

"No, I am just using it to my advantage." He chuckled.

I started making the bed, "Great, just wonderful Edward." He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.

"Forgive me?" he mumbled against my skin.

My breathing was ragged, "I don't know."

He pulled me around to face him. He leaned down and kissed the corner of my mouth. "What about now?"

I let out a shaky breath, "Nice try."

He smiled and put his lips lightly on mine. He mumbled against them, "Do you forgive me now?"

I smiled weakly, "Not quite yet."

He pressed against my lips and pulled me closer to his body, the lines of our bodies fitting perfectly. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled away, his breathing ragged, "And now?"

"I guess you're forgiven." I chuckled. "Now let me go, I have to get a shower." He kissed my forehead and released his hold on me. I went into the bathroom and when I emerged, my hair was washed, dried, scrunched into curls and pulled back into a half pony tail. I went to my closet/spare room and found an outfit already picked out for me. Alice must have gotten tired of watching me dress my self. She picked out a brown, ¾ tunic shirt, low rise skinny jeans, tan, brown, teal, red, and green peek toe flats, which seemed to be what the outfit was based around. I put it all on and also put on the teal and red bracelets and red earrings that were sitting out next to the outfit. There was also a green rain coat. (Link of outfit on my profile)

I grabbed the coat and ran down the stairs. That was not a good idea, because I tripped. I waited, for either the fall or the catch. I was caught, of course, but not by Edward. It was Emmett.

He was laughing, "I'm happy you're here Bella. You make everything so comical."

"It's my pleasure, Emmett." I rolled my eyes. We laughed.

"I'll take that." Edward came up and grabbed me out of Emmett's arms.

Emmett willingly let me go, "You can have her."

"Thanks." I told Emmett.

Emmett nodded. "Just, don't make a habit of it."

"Easier said then done." I said as Edward carried me to the kitchen. When we walked in Esme was at the stove. Edward sat me on one of the stools and he sat next to me. Esme put a plate in front of me. It was filled with pancakes and bacon. I thanked Esme. I poured maple syrup all over and started eating. Alice and Jasper walked into the kitchen and sat down. I noticed Alice, Jasper, Esme, and Edward watching me.

I swallowed, "What? Never seen a human eat?"

"Not so closely." Jasper said.

I shrugged my shoulders and finished everything by downing a cup of orange juice.

I stood up and put my dishes in the sink. I went over to Esme and gave her a hug, "Thanks. That was great."

"Your welcome, dear. You guys better get going or you'll be late."

We all grabbed our things and went out to the cars. Edward, Alice, Jasper and I rode in the Volvo, while Emmett and Roselie took her BMW. We made it to school in 2 minutes.

We all piled out of the cars and walked to stand by the cafeteria. Edward's arm was around me and I was talking with Jasper about a rematch to our Guitar Hero game.

"Are you sure, I mean I would just kick your ass again." I taunted Jasper.

He replied, "Bring it on. Human."

I faked gasped, "Was that an insult? Now you are asking for it. Just wait, I may not be able to physically kick your ass, at least I can still kick it at Guitar Hero."

He scoffed, "Yeah, right."

I noticed everyone was looking at us. "What's their problem?" I whispered to Edward.

"Your with the new, mysterious family. Their all wondering how we know each other, if we're dating." He whispered back.

"Well, let's keep them guessing." I laughed. "I can't wait to hear the rumors. But sooner or later they'll get the truth or some version of it." I sighed.

Edward pulled me closer. "Don't worry. It will be fine." he kissed the top of my head.

The bell rang and Edward pulled me to my first hour class. Alice, Edward and I all entered.

I turned to Edward. "Did you switch classes?"

He smiled and nodded, "We have the same classes. Is that alright?"

"Alright, alright?" I could tell he was worrying. I stood on my tip toes and gave him a kiss, "It's prefect."

His face broke into a crooked smile. We went and found seats. The teacher walked in and started class. The whole morning just seem to fly by. I was excused from gym thanks to a note from Carlisle. Edward and I walked into lunch together. He got me a tray full of food.

"Half for you, half for me." he winked at me.

The entire lunch room was staring at us. I blushed and Edward gave my hand a squeeze. We went and sat down with the rest of the family.

"Well that was just a big bowl of fun." I muttered.

"They are all just jealous." Edward told me.

I scoffed, "Jealous of what?"

"Well one, your beautiful." He rubbed circles onto the palm of my hand. "Some one said, that your with the 'hot, new guy'."

I laughed at that one, "Of course, all the girls have their nasty thoughts all over my boyfriend. Wonderful."

He gave me a light kiss, "Don't worry, I am blocking out all of their…nasty thoughts." he chuckled. Some one walked up to our table then. It was Mike Newton and a couple of his freshman cronies.. He was a junior in my gym class and one of the "populars" aka an ass.

"Hey Bella. So I heard that your dad is in jail. The police chief, in jail. What'd he do? Run a red light?" He was laughing and his cronies followed suit.

He was pissing me off. "Actually, he is in jail for murder. What's it to you?"

He laughed again, "Right. Murder. Who'd he murder? A traffic cone?"

I was beyond pissed now. "No, my mother."

That shut him up real quick. "I thought she died in an accident."

"Yea, if you consider being beaten to death an accident." I could feel the tears of anger welling up behind my eyes.

He mumbled something and walked away. Edward put his arm around me. I just leaned into him, inhaling his scent. Letting it calm me. The rest of the day the worst happened. I got looks of pity. I never wanted any one's pity. Edward was there for me the whole time. Giving people who tried to talk to me an evil glance, sending them scurrying.

We were on our way home and all I wanted to do was lay in my bed and let Edward hold me. We got in the door and I was about to pull Edward upstairs when he stopped me.

"What?" I asked, when Carlisle came around the corner.

"Bella," he said, "there is a attorney who would like to talk to you."

I blinked, "Oh, okay." I gripped Edward's hand tighter. He led me into the barely used dining room. Sitting at the table was a man in his mid 40's. He was wearing a black suit. "Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I am with Burns, Rish, and Mackey Law Offices. I am your father's lawyer."

"Hi, Bella Swan." I said, sitting down.

"Now, I am here to talk to you about testifying in your father's trial. Now he is pleading not guilty to all the charges." I felt the rage in me growing. "Now, we would like you to say that all these allegations are false. You are the eye witness, so you are key to this trial. Now these are the questions I will be ask--"

I cut him off. "No, I am not going to get up on that fucking stand and lie. I am telling the truth. Every fucking detail." I stood up. "He killed my mother, he abused me. Are you on crack? Like, I would lie for that pitiful excuse of a human. I want you to leave and you can tell my father that I hope he enjoys his fucking time in jail." He sat there in shock. "Get out! Now!"

He grabbed the papers on the table and his briefcase and nearly ran out of the house. I was in tears. Edward pulled me into a tight hug.

"It's alright." he said. He picked me up and carried me up stairs to my room. He laid me on the bed and he wrapped his cold, hard arms around me. He hummed my lullaby for me. Soon enough I was asleep.

Ok. Hope you liked! Reviews would be lovely.
