Ok everyone its chapter 2 time yeah!
I don't own Twilight.
Charlie pace around the living room. Where was Bella? It was midnight and she still wasn't home. He was tired but too anxious to sleep.
"Relax", he told himself, "This is Forks, what could possibly happen?" Being the chief of police he was, he knew there was little to no crime in there small town in Washington. But those thoughts didn't calm him. But a suspicion kept nagging at his mind… Edward, the reason Bella had gone to Phoenix in the first place. Where she had tripped on a flight of stairs and fell through a window. Edward never disagreed with him but Charlie never trusted Edward again. Now she was missing.
It was now one-o-clock. Still no sign from Bella. He went over to the phone and called all her friends. None of them had seen Bella in hours and they never really talked to her. Charlie was getting desperate. Maybe I should've gotten her a cell phone instead of a car, he thought. He tried watching TV but nothing helped. Eventually, he drifted off to a restless sleep.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
He woke up at seven-thirty. He was still in his day-time clothes and the TV was still on. Remembering last night, he ran up to Bella's room to see if she came home while he was asleep. He quietly hoping the door incase Bella was in there sleeping. The room was empty. Everything was the same as it was the day before when she left for the Cullen's. Finally it sunk in. Bella was missing. And he knew wherever she was it was because of Edward. He cursed that boy and everything about him. He walked downstairs and picked up the phone.
"Hello police, Its Charlie Swann. I'm afraid my daughter has gone missing".

"YOU DID WHAT!" That was the noise Bella heard when she first woke up. Somehow, through the pain, she had managed to fall asleep again. Edward and Carlisle were standing in the room and yelling at each other.
"I KNOW! IT WAS STUPID OF ME! BUT IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!" Edward snarled. Bella kept quiet and let them yell it out, in too much pain and not wanting to interfere.
"WHAT ON EARTH POSSESED YOU TO DO SOMETHING THIS STUPID? HER FATHER IS GOING TO CALL POLICE! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SUSPECT US! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?" Carlisle yelled. I had never seen him angry before but I guessed that this was the height of his rage.
"No" Edward said quietly, "I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I just wanted to do what was best for us both".
"The both of you? Did you ever think about what was best for Bella? Her family? How about us? Did you consider that?" I covered my mouth and whimpered in pain as the fire that raged throughout my body suddenly intensified. Though I tried to not be noticed during their argument, their extra sensitive ears heard me and their heads snapped in my direction. Edward was at my side instantly.
"How are you feeling?" he placed his cool hand on my cheek. Carlisle left the room silently to give us some alone time and so he could calm down
"It hurts". I only managed to whisper. I put my hand on the spot where Edward had bitten me. It was swollen and felt hot.
"I know Bella, I know", his eyes were full of regret, "and I'm sorry. I never should have done it.
"It's not your fault", I said slightly louder, "Don't blame yourself because I was the one who kept persisting" I tried to find a more comfortable position which was hard to do in the frilly prom dress I was still wearing.
"Wait here", He said and exited the room for a couple seconds then reappeared carrying some clothes, "put these on". He turned around as I wrestled on a pair of loose sweatpants and a t-shirt. It didn't ease my pain but it made it easier for me to lay down comfortably.
"Thanks", I said and smiled weakly, "and I'm sorry for getting you in trouble with Carlisle."
"Don't even think about that", he said firmly but gently, "that should be the last thing on your mind right now. Just try to relax and not think about the pain".
"Oh sure that's easy" I muttered. A quick grin flashed across Edward's perfect face my heart fluttered the way it does every time I see Edward smile. He leaned in closer, my heart began beating faster, and then he pressed his lips against mine. For those seconds all the pain seemed to disappear. All I could feel was Edward pressed against me. Then he backed away. "Thanks", I said then took a sharp breath as I began to feel the pain again. Edward put his arm around me and held me there.
"You're shaking", he said and held me tighter. I felt secure in arms that despite how muscular they were, held me ever so gently. I didn't answer. Another cry escaped my lips as the pain intensified again.
"I don't know if I can handle this", tears began rolling down my cheeks. My body shook violently from the combination of pain and crying.
"You can", Edward said gently, "you're strong enough"
"Right now I'm not so sure" Edward just held me tighter, "Promise me you won't leave me?" I knew it was a dumb thing to ask, I knew he wouldn't but right then.
Edward kissed my on the cheek and said "Promise". We sat there in silence only to be broken occasionally by my cries. I was drifting off when suddenly the sound of sirens startled me. Edward went to the window and looked out.
In the driveway, five cop cars were sitting there lights flashing.
Will the police find Bella? Is the Cullen secret out? Nobody knows (except me of course)
