Okay here it is! I didn't like how the first chapter ended so I hurried up and posted the second one lol! Hope you enjoy it! Please review! Once again - sorry it's so short - longer chapters are on their way!

Chapter Two

We laid on the couch together for an indistinguishable amount of time. It could've been hours, yet it only felt like minutes. He effortlessly slid me off of him and sat me on the couch in a more formal position. He then sat up straight next to me and took my hand in his, caressing it with his thumb. Moments later I heard the sound of tires on the driveway. I got up and walked to the kitchen. I took the chicken out of the oven and got the bread and salad ready on the table. Edward placed the dishes, glasses, and silverware on the table for me. Charlie walked in, called out a greeting, and hung his gun belt on the hook in the foyer.

"Hello, Edward. Hi, Bells," said Charlie as he took his seat at the table.

"Hello, Mr. Swan," Edward said with a grin.

"Hey, dad. How was work?" I asked, as I hurriedly scooped salad and placed chicken on Charlie's plate and mine. I was anxious for Edward to 'leave' and for me to go 'do my homework'.

"Thank gosh you had dinner ready so soon. I was gonna' call to tell you but I figured I'd be home soon enough," Charlie began.

"I started it when I got home from school. But why are you in a hurry?" I asked curiously.

"There's a charity event for the station today and all officers are required there. No guests allowed or else I'd bring you, but it starts in like a half hour so I got to hurry." He said in rush, while trying to eat his food as fast as possible. He shot a glance at Edward. He was obviously trying to discreetly tell Edward to leave. Charlie clearly didn't like the idea of Edward and I alone together. Edward got the picture.

"Well, it was nice seeing you, Mr. Swan, but I've got to go. Bye, Bella." We gave each other a little finger wave. We didn't bother kissing each other because he wasn't really leaving and it would only serve the purpose of getting Charlie mad. With Edward gone, Charlie felt more comfortable describing the event he was leaving for.

"I'll be home late so don't wait up. Just lock the door before you go to sleep, I'll use the key under the eave." He said. I took his now empty plate and cup and started washing them along with mine. He stood up and smoothed the front of his uniform.

"You look great dad, just go and have fun," I said with a smile. He smiled back.

"Thanks, Bells. I don't know what I'd do without you."

He called out a goodbye on his way out. I heard him shut and lock the door. I would have usually skipped up to my room to see Edward again, but tonight I just treaded, feeling incredibly guilty. I had been so eager and ready for Edward to change me before, not that he would, that I hadn't even given Renee and Charlie's lives or feelings a thought. What would he do without me?

When I walked into my room, Edward was laying casually on my bed, as usual. He smiled at me and held his arms out, an invitation for me to lie down and join him. I usually would have jumped into his arms, but today I slowly crept.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked, puzzled, once I laid down next to him.

"No, I was just thinking…" I trailed off.

"About?" he prompted. He always got frustrated when I did this, he was so used to hearing people's thoughts.

"Well, Charlie said he didn't know what he'd do without me, and I'm feeling really bad that I just immediately –" I got cut off by the doorbell, which was suddenly ringing. No one rang the doorbell. In fact, I didn't even know we had a doorbell.

"Expecting someone so late?" Edward asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, but I bet it's just a delivery. I'll go get it."

"I'm coming with you, because I'm not picking up any thoughts from down stairs, and doorbells don't just ring themselves." He said.

We got off the bed and crept down the stairs. Edward was at the door before me. He opened it, but no one was there. Just a white little envelope on the welcome mat. I went over and grabbed it quickly. As soon as I was inside, Edward shut and locked the door. I tore the letter open with my finger.

Isabella Swan,

I know where you sleep. I know where you eat. I know where and when your father goes and comes from work. I know your grades, who's in your family, where your mom lives and every insignificant little detail about your worthless existence. I'm watching you, your family, and your boyfriend and his family. I know what he is and I know what you want to be. Your time is coming. Your number is up. You are safe nowhere. Sleep tight and remember, I've got my eyes on you.

All I could do was gape at the letter. My hand started to shake. Edward put a comforting arm around my shoulders and read the letter for himself. I felt him stiffen next to me.

"You need to come to my house, you aren't safe here." He said tersely.

"No! I can't leave Charlie! This person is watching this house and I won't leave Charlie alone!" I tried to make my words sound strong, but to my dismay, I started to cry. Out of fear, of course, but surprisingly also out of anger. I was mad that I couldn't just relax with Edward. I knew better than to wish for a normal life because basically Edward and normal are antonyms, but I just wanted to live normally. Not a normal life, but to live normally. I almost screamed in exasperation. But then suddenly Edward spoke, breaking me from my internal rant.

"Looks like I'm going to have to move in."

That's the end of that chapter! I'll work on the next chapter as soon as I can and hopefully it's longer! Please Review - Thanks for Reading!
