THIS IS MY STORY OF HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, I JUST LIKE TO PLAY WITH THE CHARACTERS.
PLEASE REVIEW, I'M LOVING THE FEEDBACK.
THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY READING THIS. I APPRECIATE IT.
I look at my dad in total shock, I'd be picking my jaw off the ground if it wasn't for the fact I was biting my tongue. Old Quil was fuming to say the least. He looked at Charlie as he still hadn't answered his question. I looked between them, Charlie's face was set in stone, he wasn't giving anything up yet. Who on earth could have told him about the pack, about Paul imprinting on me, about everything that was a sworn secret. Somebody was in trouble and I would have hated to be in that person's shoes right now. Old Quill looked again, round at everyone, watching them one by one to see what their reactions were like to being confronted. The only person who looked on edge was Billy Black. Oh this cannot be good, if he'd told my dad, then he was most likely going to be punished and I didn't want that for anyone. This whole thing was stupid. I shook my head, c'mon Bella think. Billy looked even more edgy now, this man was like a second father to me, my dad's best friend and friends should not keep secrets from each other, should they? I took my dad's hand, squeezing it gently. He looked at me and then to old Quil, letting go of my hand and taking a deep breath, he was going to come clean. I suppose in a way he had to before old Quil got angrier, I'd never seen him angry but I'd heard through Sam and the other's that his temper itself was impressive, and that's on a good day, this was a bad one.
"Quill, you are as much to blame for me knowing about the pack as the person who told me by the way!" Said my dad in a confrontational way.
"How in the hell can you blame me for you knowing everything, when I know damn well I never told you!" Said Old Quill looking shocked at my dad's accusations against him.
"Ok I'll tell you how I found out shall I, it was the night that bitch Renee took my babygirl away from me, the only person I could have spoken to was Billy, he was there for me when I needed support, I was in a bad place back then but I still remember that night like it was yesterday!" Said my dad.
I watched my dad, I listened to the words coming out of his mouth. You see, this was the first time my dad had actually spoken about how he felt when my mom had taken me away with her. Charlie doesn't do let's sit down and discuss our emotions, so hearing this and seeing his emotions being splayed out in front of me, was new to me. Everyone else around was also listening and by Christ, my dad did not hold back.
"Can you imagine, coming home to find that the reason for your existence has been taken away from you, because that is how I felt, the night I came from work to find a note, a good damn note saying being here in Forks wasn't enough for her, that my daughter needed more stability in her life! Do you know how that feels?" My dad asked old Quil angrily.
Old Quill just looked at him, shaking his head in response.
"Billy was there that night, he picked me up, he was the brother I had always wanted when I was a kid, he let me get out how I felt, he supported me, when I had nobody quill, and you were to blame for Billy telling me, he'd been find before you came along that night with your damn moonshine, it's no wonder it's banned, that stuff is lethal and makes people sing like canaries, you should really be using it in the interview room down at the station!" Joked my dad.
Old Quill looked like he was trying to remember himself. It looked like he had when his whole face screwed up.
"You remembering now old man? You just wandered into billy`s house that night and started throwing this down our throats, you wouldn't give up, kept saying just try it! Of course once we'd drank the first one, you disappeared God knows where then Billy brings out his own damn bottle, you got us started!" My dad said.
Old Quill had actually started to look and feel, dare I say ashamed.
"So what, Billy told me a few stories, yeah I remembered them, who wouldn't, I never believed them though till Bella came to live with me and stupidly got herself involved with those motherfucking vampires, the cullens! That's when the stories came back to me quill, I say thank fuck Billy did tell me because I would have thought I was going crazy with all the strange goings on around here!" My dad said in an angry voice, even I was a bit scared of him in this moment. He was officially in daddy bear mode.
Paul had come over as he must have sensed my distress. He knelt down beside me, putting his arm's around me protectively giving me the heat I needed because I was officially freezing cold due to the fact my dad, who I knew was wise but had actually known all along what fuckface was. I felt like I'd let him down. I was starting to get angry as well now.
"Dad, if you've known all this time, why didn't you tell me?" I asked him angrily, disentangling myself from Paul.
"For the same damn reason we are discussing who told me in the first place , it wasn't my secret to tell Bella!" Said my dad angrily.
"Excuse the language dad, but you knew what fuckface was and you didn't say a word?" I shouted at him now.
"And what KIDDO, would you have listened to me? How would you have felt if I'd turned round and said, hey honey, I know your boyfriend is a vampire, I think you should stop seeing him because he might kill you?" He asked me, getting right up in my face now.
"Probably not, but you could have saved me from feeling like a complete idiot!" I shouted back at him.
"It was your mistake to learn from kiddo, not mine! You had to learn from your own mistake, you don't know how many times I was this close to breaking down and telling you! I'd just got you back Bella and I was terrified that if I stopped you from seeing Edward, or fuckface as you call him, that you would leave again, that he would have taken you away from me!" Said my dad tearfully.
My dad, a grown man, now stood in front of me, crying. I looked behind him, and saw even Leah, Megan and shaina had tears in their eyes, some fucking bonfire this turned into. It's a complete mess. My dad then took me into his arm's.
"So what if Billy did tell me old man, best friends, brother's don't keep secrets from each other, I have never told anybody nor do I have the intention to do so, my little girl is happy, protected and loved by a good man, like it or lump it, I know everything, Billy Black won't be punished for keeping me sane, or you will have to punish yourself as well!" Said my dad.
"You are right Charlie, I'm sorry for overreacting!" Said Old Quill smiling at him.
"Right, I'm going go go now, there's a game on, me and Billy are going to bis to watch it, old man you coming?" My dad asked old quill smiling.
"Why not!" Said Old Quill.
"You kids enjoy yourselves, Paul I expect to see my daughter at some point over the weekend, don't go o rough on her!" Said my dad jokingly.
"Yes sir!" Said Paul softly.
With that the three older men, disappeared into the shadows of the night.
"Ok, what the fuck just happened?" I asked confused now.
"Little phoenix, I think your dad has accepted us as a couple and that they need to go hash some things out in billy`s!" Said Paul looking at me.
It was like I'd been catapulted into an alternate reality, bizarre didn't cover it.
Megan and shaina who were being comforted by Jared and Seth seemed to be in shock also.
"You really dated a vampire Bella?" Megan asked me.
"Yeah she did, but she's got herself a hunk of wolf man to love her now!" Said Paul softly, answering on my behalf.
"So all this stuff about vampires and wolves are real?" Asked shaina in her little voice.
"Yeah, and since nobody has said it, Welcome to the pack and the life of an imprint!" I said laughing, slowly getting my grip back on reality.
The rest of the night had been good, spent talking things over with shaina and Megan, answering any questions they had. Sam and Jake stood off to the sides though, I think they felt slightly out if place. I excused myself from the girl's and went straight to them and reached up, hugging them both.
Their time would come to be happy.
These boys and men, this pack was protecting me with their lives if need be.
I couldn't be happier in this moment in time.
This is my family.
