A/N: I am apologizing beforehand for this short chapter. I needed it to be small for some affect. You will understand once you read.

Bella's POV
Edward surprised me with a trip to the meadow I hadn't been to for what seemed so long ago. I enjoyed spending the time with him. I wondered about Charlie a lot. Right before we left, I asked Edward what was troubling him since he look worried. He didn't answer me and I didn't question him further for fear of spoiling the good day.
He dropped me off at home well before I knew Charlie would get back. I asked Edward to come in, and although it pained him, he politely reclined. I knew something was really troubling him.
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong?"
"I promise you nothing is wrong. Please don't worry." He kissed my forehead softly in the doorway of the porch. Another question popped into my mind.
"When will I see you again? Do you have to hunt tomorrow?"
"I won't be able to see you until tomorrow afternoon because I have to help Carlisle with something. I promise to come as soon as we are finished." He smiled and kissed me on the cheek before he turned to depart."
"I love you Edward."
"I love you too Bella. I will see you tomorrow."
He was gone in an instant so I went inside to make a light dinner. I missed him already.
Charlie came in soon after I finished eating. He looked happier than he had been in years.
"Hey Dad, how did the date go?"
"Oh Bella it was so much fun! Victoria and I have so much in common! We are going out on another date this coming Friday. I can't wait."
I wasn't sure I had heard him right so I asked, "Did you say Victoria?"
"Yes her name is Victoria. Is something wrong Bells? You look pale."
That name sounded all too familiar to me. I needed Edward. Where had he gone? Wasn't he here just a moment ago? I felt as if I would faint.
"Um, Dad I am sort of tired from today. I think I will go ly down and try to get some sleep. I'm glad you had fun though."
"Alright. I think I will shower and then try to get some sleep also. I have to get up for work at a decent time. I hope you feel better by morning. Good night."
"Good night dad." I walked up stairs and changed into my pajamas. Then I lyed in bed while I listened to the water from the shower. I tried to concentrate but everything was so jumbled. Victoria? I need Edward. Soon, though, I began to drift off to sleep.
It wasn't until I heard my door creek open around 8:00AM that I remembered what I was so worried about. Charlie had probably left for work so I wondered why it was dark in the room. I peered trying to see who had come in. I suddenly tensed up realizing my worse fear was coming true. She was here!
