Chapter 24

Edward quickly got off me and stood up and fastened his shirt while I stood up straightening my skirt. " Hmm dad, its not what it looked like" I babbled, of course it was what it looked like but I had no idea what to say, I looked at Edward hoping he knew what to say. "Oh I think its exactly how it looked, what the hell were you thinking Bella, I thought you would have known better" his voice was still raised and he had gone red, I could see his hand twitching towards his gun. "Charlie we love each other, and I wouldn't have let things get that far" Edward said, holding my hand, how could he be so calm. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY LITTLE GIRL" Edward dropped my hand and backed away towards the door, "if you ever touch her again, I swear I wont be responsible for my actions" I stepped in between Edward and Charlie facing Edward "Edward I think you should go" I kissed him gently and he left. I needed to calm Charlie down. "Dad I think you need to calm down before you burst a blood vessel or something" he sat down on a chair in the kitchen, while I fixed us something to eat. I could see the colour in his face return to normal.

I didn't do us anything special, just some pasta and sauce. In between mouths full of food Charlie said he didn't want me seeing Edward for a while. I didn't want to disobey Charlie so I agreed; I would not see Edward for one week, apart from at school, as that couldn't be avoided. When we were finished I cleared away while Charlie went to watch TV. I couldn't handle being in the same room as Charlie tonight, after what had happened today I wouldn't put it past him to have a sex talk with me. I said goodnight and went to my room. I changed for bed and climbed under my duvet, it would be hard not to be with Edward in the evenings, but I would find a way to distract myself. I soon fell asleep.

The next morning I woke, showered and got ready for school, when I started my trucks engine, the sound made me jump. I pulled up in the lot and looked for his Volvo, but it wasn't there and I started to panic. I got out of my truck and saw rose's bmw, I smiled, I guess it was her turn to drive. I walked to class, I took my seat next to mike "oh hey Bella" he smiled at me; he had obliviously got over the Emmett thing yesterday. "Hi mike"

"I didn't see you arrive with Edward this morning, its everything ok between you?" "Yeah everything's ok, we don't spend every moment together" I said sounding a little more annoyed then I wanted. "So do you have any plans for tonight?" he asked looking down at the desk, I wondered where he was going with this, "no, why do you ask?" I asked looking at him

"No reason just wondered if you fancied hanging out at Tyler's with us?"

"Us?" I asked,

"Me, Jessica, Tyler, Ben, Eric, Angela, Lauren."

"Hmm yeah sure, what do you want me there?" I had said I wanted to be distracted seeing as I wasn't allowed to see Edward, and it could be fun. "Were going straight after school so just follow behind me" I nodded. Soon enough it was lunch, I felt my lips form into a smile; I was going to see Edward.

I took my place between Edward and Alice. Edward was glad to see me; he wrapped his arm around my waist. "So how was Charlie when I left?" he asked

"Well, he calmed down but I'm not allowed to see you for a week" I sighed, he frowned he didn't like this either. I leant on his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head. "Alice, I got an email from callum yesterday and he said that he enjoyed the other night and he liked you. He told me the next time we meet up to bring you." Alice clapped her hands all excited and handed me her phone, I guess this meant she wanted his number so I put it in to her phone for her, and handed it back. "So does this mean you wont be coming over to the house?" she asked

"Afraid so" I mumbled.

"That's ok, I'll just come over to you" she said. I didn't really pay much attention to the rest of the day until school finished.

As I got into my truck I realised that I better tell Charlie where I'm going before he makes the wrong assumption, so I got out my phone and called the station, it was Charlie who answered. "Chief swan speaking"

"Hey dad, just thought I should tell you that I'm heading of to Tyler's to hang out and you can phone and check if you don't believe me"

"No no I believe you bells, have a good time"

"Bye dad" I said and hung up.

I followed mike to Tyler's. Tyler lead us to his living room, his parents were at work so we had the place to ourselves. Eric and Tyler went to fetch some drinks for everyone, it seemed like they got together like this regularly, seeing as I spent most of my time with the Cullen's I had never noticed. When they came back with the drinks, Jessica announced it was game time, it was either truth or dare, or spin the bottle first, everyone but Angela and me voted for spin the bottle. Eric went first, he spun the bottle, it stopped on Jessica, they both stood up "you know the rules, one minute" Tyler announced, I saw Eric reluctantly lean forward and press his lips to Jessica's. I saw mike clench his fists, wow I guess he really liked Jessica. Next it was Tyler's turn, he spun the bottle, and it landed on ME!
