OK, I know the way Bella changes jobs is just like my other teacher/student but I couldn't think of another way to do that. Only two chapters left.

I eventually got better and went back to school. I had been working pretty hard and got accepted to a school in Seattle. Bella was happy about that, but it would mean she wouldn't see me as much. She was talking to her cousin Lucas one Saturday, and he mentioned hearing about a job opening.

She thought about it, and contacted the school. They asked her about what she taught and she went into the school to talk to them. They hired her, and she sorted everything out. I was happy about that, but we still had the problem of telling her family...

I sighed, looking at my mom. She saw me watching her, and shook her head.

"Go and see her if you like."

I blushed, thinking about that. We'd just gotten back from the graduation, and I really wanted to see Bella.

I got up, grabbed my jacket and left.

"Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you. Does your mom... Of course she does, come on."

I followed Bella into her room, and lay on the bed.

"There's some new photos of Brandon on my phone of you wanna have a look."

I rolled over onto my stomach, grabbing her phone. I didn''t notice the back of my shirt had ridden up a little.

I looked at the photos of Lisa and Brandon. He was adorable.

I was distracted when I felt Bella kissing the scar on my back. I gasped, biting my lip.

"Mhm, Bella."

I heard a laugh, and she knelt on the bed. I looked behind me, and she was smirking at me. I turned over, and she kissed me.

"You know what happens when you do that."

She smirked, kissing me again.

"I know. Why d'you think I did that?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but Jake running in ruined the moment. He looked up at us, and started getting excited. Bella sat back, grumbling.

"Stupid dog, ruining the moment."

I smiled, watching her.

"It's OK, lets just go feed him."

We fed him, and cuddled on the couch.

"So, how are your parents with everything?"

"They're fine. I was thinking about coming over to see you, and my mom practically ordered me out."

That made Bella laugh, and I cuddled into her.

"I was thinking about you, and she could tell. I missed my Bella-Bear."

I kissed her neck, and her grip on my waist tightened. I flinched as she did that. I'd hurt my back the previous week, not enough to need physio but enough to make it pretty sore.

"Sorry!"

I shook my head and sat up. I looked at Jake, who was asleep, sitting on my chair.

"Come on."

I stood up, pulling her with me. I dragged her into the bedroom, closing the door.

"You need to stop worrying. I think I could use a back rub actually."

Her eyes widened and she shook her head.

"No, I'll hurt you."

I pulled off my shirt, laying down on my stomach.

"You know I don't like you talking like that. Plus, you've done more than give me back rubs before."

She sighed, and knelt next to me. I grabbed a pillow, propping myself up as she started. It felt pretty good, and I groaned as she continued.

"Did I-"

No. It feels reeeeeally good."

She laughed, and continued. She reached my scar, but didn't't stop. She gently messaged it, which earned her a soft moan. She kept that up, and I... Well, put it this way, I'm surprised the neighbours didn''t hear me.

"So, did that help?"

I lifted my head, looking at her.

"You give really good back rubs, you know."

There was a knock on the door, and Bella threw one of her shirts to me. I put it on, thankful it wasn't that big on me.

She got up to answer the door, as I got ready.

When she opened the door, who did I hear?

Her sister...

"Dad, what're you doing here?"

Wait, her dad's here to? How the Hell are we gonna get out of this?

And my chair was in the living room! I started panicking, and I heard Lisa ask if Bella had met anyone.

"Um, yes, I have. Wait here, I'll go get it."

I knew this was gonna happen, but it didn't make me any less nervous.

Bella walked in, looking a little pale.

"Um, I wasn't sure how to get out of this. Your chair is in the living room and it's the best way to explain things."

I nodded, walking over to her and kissing her.

"I know. Your sister's going to be surprised."

"Yeah, as long as my dad doesn't flip out and do something drastic."

I followed her out, and when Lisa saw me...

"Alice?!"

Yeah, that was exactly what I expected...

I looked at her, and she shook her head. Bella's dads face turned bright red, and he looked at her.

"Bella,-"

"Dad, Alice is 18 and has now graduated. It's not illegal and I'm not working at that school anymore. I got a job in Seattle."

Lisa was just looking at me, and Bella was talking to her dad about the possible legal implications of this relationship.

"Now I know why you turned bright red when I was talking about my sister being an idiot when she was drunk."

Bella looked over at us, and glared at her sister.

"Y... Yeah. I wasn't expecting that. At all."

"Yeah, I know. You looked like you recognized Brandon though."

"Bella showed me some photos of her holding him."

Lisa nodded, and we all moved into the living room. Jake woke up when we all walked in, but didn't jump down. Her dad, Charlie, sat down with Lisa next to him. I sat down next to Bella, and looked at her.

"OK, I know this is a shock, but I care about her, and now that she'd graduated there's nothing anyone can do."

Her dad knew she was right, and didn't say anything. Her sister brought up asking her if she'd met anyone and how Bella had just said that was busy. Bella shook her head, and told her that she couldn't tell her anything. Lisa understood. Bella asked where Brandon was and Lisa said someone was watching him. She'd had a few things to do, which meant she couldn't bring him.

After a long, long discussion, during which her father got angry at her for it going on for so long without him knowing... Yeah, that didn't go well. Everyone left eventually. They were surprised, but seemed to accept it. Lisa mentioned something about me meeting Brandon, and I agreed. I was just relieved that everyone knew and that we didn't need to worry about how her dad would react anymore.

I walked back into Bella's room, sitting on the bed. She lay next to me, and I cuddled into her.

"That went as well as can be expected."

I laughed and kissed her neck.

"Yeah, I thought your dad was gonna pass out though."

"Yeah, I thought so too."

We talked for a little while, and I ended up falling asleep on her shoulder, relieved that everyone accepted us and was supportive of our decisions.
