A/N: Thank you all for all sweet comments aswell some critics. I am trying to keep up with what is going on with Bella and Eddie. And you are right, she is about to turn 18, and himself about to turn 23. As it is 5 years between the two. Not 10 like Michael and her would be like. Either way, here comes the next, and it has to do with those Black idiots aka Billy and Jacob, as Bella and Eddie went back to Forks, to visit the gravesite of Charlie, and also for her to show him around town. Hence why they get caught up by both those two and her ex-school friends of Forks.
Part 5 - Black's and Old Friends
Few months later, Bella and Eddie both had their birthdays, and it had been alot of fun, for not only did they have a wonderful days on their birthdays, but the two got together officially and it made the family really happy for the two, and Bella knew if her dad, Charlie, had been alive, he too would been happy for the two, as he knew of their friendship relationship towards a love relationship.
Either way, they were on their way to Forks, as it was time to visit the grave of her father's, and also let Eddie to see around town of Forks and La Push, where the Quileutes lives at. After driving for almost 2 days, they were in town, and they drove up towards the church and its gravesite, and Bella had her father's favorite flowers with her to place on his grave, and Eddie was just proud and humble about it all, as they walked hand in hand towards his grave, and when they arrived, Bella went down onto her knees, and placed the flowers on it, and stood back up, and re-took Eddie's out-streched hand and they stood together, while she thought of her dad, and he just held her steady.
All too soon, a voice from behind, said in shocked tone;
"Bella?" Bella and Eddie turned to see the two Black's there, and she said
"Hello, Billy, Jacob." And both of them frowned at her tone being abit colder, then Jacob saw her holding hanEds with Eddie and he turned his frown to more angry frown now. Billy just stared at her for a moment before he said
"What are you doing here?" Bella rolled her eyes, and said
"I am here to visit my father's grave, as it was time to do so, after all he was my father. And I came to pay him some love and respect. And also here in town in general, to show Ed around where I semi-grew up at, Billy."
Making him nod, as he could understand most of it, as he then said again
"Who is Ed?" Eddie shook his head, as he said
"I am Eddie Spears, or like Bella affectionally calls me by Ed. Afterall we are together as in couple."
Jacob gapped at this, as Billy said
"I am sorry, didn't know or think you were the same back when we first saw you in the station few months ago."
"Well I am, and Bella and I are together as in boyfriend and girlfriend now."
Bella just smiled up at him, and snuggled closer to him, as it was like always colder here in Forks around this time of the year. Jacob frowned angrily at this point as Billy said
"Well to tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting you to be that ok enough already to find a new one."
"I was never a girlfriend of Edward Cullen, who is also my rapist if you have forgotten, and his stupid crazy lot of family killed my father, Billy. And we were on verge of becoming an item when all things happened, we had spoken to each other about it for years before this all happened."
Billy nodded as he sighed sadly at this point, and Jacob was in shocked anger and disbelief of what she said, as Eddie said
"Shall we go, baby?" Bella nodded, and the two bid the two Blacks' a goodbye for now, and walked back towards their car and as soon they were in it, Bella and Eddie shared a kiss before he started the car, and the two went further into town of Forks, to find a place to eat lunch at. And found the same diner that Bella and Charlie often ate at together, and so they walked into the diner, and most of them stilled or stared unbashfully at the two, as they walked in and went over to an empty table. Soon their server came up, and said
"Welcome to Carver's Cafe, what can I get for the two of you?" Bella looked up to see it was the same server who served her and Charlie, and she said
"Cora, is that you?" And Cora now looked at her, and smiled wider, said
"My goodness, is it you, dear Bella?" Bella smiled and nodded, as she said
"Oh Cora, meet my boyfriend, Eddie. Ed, meet the same server that took care of me and my dad back in the days."
Cora smiled, and shook the hand that Eddie reached out to her to shake it, and she said
"Well it is good to see you again, you look so much better now than back then."
Bella smiled softly, as they were given the menu's, and as always Bella ordered the same food as before, Eddie ordered a big-burger and for dessert, a chocolate cake a piece between them to share. As they sat there waiting on the food to come, most of the others in there, were whispering and talking amongst themselves, and Bella and Eddie paid no attention to it, as both were used to it by now, and had no time or effort to even care about it all going on around them.
The door opened up, and in came the old gang of her ex-friends inside and went to a table to sit down at, and Bella didnt even care or look over to see them even, as for their food arrived, and the two went ahead to eat their lunch, and just talk amongst themselves, but it was Cora who served her ex-friends at this point, and she happily told them that Bella was here too, and not alone either.
When asked of where, she pointed out where they were sitting at and eating their own lunch, and it shocked most of her so-called friends to see not how healthy looking she seemed to be, but also that she was laughing at something that the man across had said to her.
All too soon, the two were done, and called for the bill, so they could pay and give a large sum of tip for the amazing food as always for Bella and Eddie really loved the food aswell the cake piece they had gotten as dessert. Another waiter came and fetched the bill for the two, and while waiting a voice, a familiar, nasal voice said
"Bella is that you?" And most stilled at this point, as Bella seemed to cringe and sigh before she said
"Yes, Lauren, it is really me here in town." In a rather cold tone back at Lauren, who said then;
"And who is this hunk of man with you today?" Bella rolled her eyes, as Eddie turned around to take a look at this girl who was cleary rather rude, and said himself
"I am Eddie Spears, and boyfriend of Bella's. Now who are you?"
At that most of them gasped of hearing this and Lauren said
"I am Lauren Mallory, Bella knows that and me well enough. And boyfriend, when did that happen?"
Bella rolled her eyes, as she said in same tone before;
"Not that is your or your friends' here business really, but we got together shortly after I left the town after my father's murder and trial had happened."
Many of them gasped of how rude and cold she sounded in her answer back to Lauren's questions, as she continued
"And yes, we did know each other briefly, as I realised some things about you all, and figured that we are aquiantes, not really friends. For no friend would spread lies and rumours about me like you and Jessica over there did about myself, after what happened. That is not how a friend is like, but you two never knew or learn that skill either. Anyways, lets go Ed. I would love to show you La Push now we are done here."
And with that leaving Lauren and Jessica aswell the others of their friends in shock of what Bella had said to the two girls, and walked of the diner, and into their car towards La Push reservation. When arriving to the beach, she and he took hands, and strolled down the beach, while walking into what was a bonfire with the Elders, one of them recognised Bella, and said
"Bella is that you?" Bella smiled, as she knew who this was and really loved him, and said
"Elder Quil Sr. It is good to see you again."
At that most of the company gapped at her answer back at their Eldest Elder, and he grinned wider, as he said
"Come on over you two, and who is this with you?"
"This is my boyfriend, Eddie Spears, grand-uncle." At that he grinned and shook hands with Eddie, who had his own grin, as he knew from Bella that this was family to her, while distant, he was still family to her. And the others were gapping at this point, and one of them, Sue said
"Family, boyfriend so soo after what happend?"
"We were already talking about dating at the point of daddy's murder took place, and what happened to me aswell during that, but unlike some, I didnt shy away from Eddie, I thrived to be in his arms, and live with his beautiful, kind and amazingly patient family. I now live with Eddie, as it was time for me to move out and be with him. I was ready to be with him in all ways you can think as of right now."
Many sat in shock of her tale, while Old Quil grinned still, and said
"You are the strongest Swan, Bella dear, Molly would be so proud of how far you already gone in your healing process. And Eddie, welcome to La Push and to the family."
Eddie grinned and took Bella closer to himself, while Sue and the rest were in shock and disbelief what all been said so far. But nothing else was said as the bonfire went over to talk about their legends and stories from the past. Bella and Eddie both enjoyed hearing them. After it was all done, they were invited to Uley's for a dinner, and they thanked for it, and walked by Old Quil's side, and talked the whole way there.
