Part 2 - After the Funeral
After the funeral for Harry was over with, Leah and Seth took Bella back to their house, and helped without a word Sue to put out the snacks, coffee and condiments on the tables around the big table in the dining room. Bella also helped her out with some of the last minute preparations with the food and such, Sue was grateful for their help and doing it wihout a word or asking if she needed it, it was like they knew she needed it anyways.
Soon the others came into their house, Charlie went bee-line for Bella and took her arm in a hard grip, as she said
"Ouch, Dad, you and I can talk later not now." At that she pulled herself free from his grip and went back over to Seth, who had anger on his face, but it changed to something calm when she came back to his side and Sue nodded at this, as she said
"First, thank you for being here at my Husband's funeral, I am glad to have you all here as my friends and family members. Second, dive in."
And all of them took some food and drinks, and sat down around the table, Sue sat in between her children, making it hard for Charlie to sit by her side, as the two with Bella's help refused to move away or even let him sit by Sue, who thanked them, as she knew Charlie have had feelings for her all this time while married to Harry and aswell back when he was married to Renee, Bella's flighty mother.
Sue turned to Bella as everyone still looked at her, as most didnt know or recognised her and said
"How is your mother doing, dear, by the way?" Bella huffed, as she said
"Last I know she is doing more than fine with her newest husband, Phil. I moved out before they even got married, as I was tired of being her slave-driver around her house. So I moved out and into my own house, as I saved up money to buy one, but the area of its location is not the best, so I am actually going to look around here and see if I can find a place to live here instead, now that things have changed abit."
Making Sue nodded, as it was Josh who said
"Wait is that you little Bella?" Bella smiled as she looked over to him, while her father was shocked of what she had said so far, and she said to Josh
"Hey Josh, yep it is me, and I am not so little anymore either. No thanks to Renee or dad over there. But that is their issues not mine to deal with. How is things going for you and Alison?"
Making the man smile, as Sam was shocked that Bella knew his father, and Josh said
"We are going strong still, Ali look who is here, baby." Bella and Alison looked at each other, and Alison smiled widely, as she said
"I thought I knew you from somewhere when I saw you earlier, Bella. It is so good to see you again, hun." Bella smiled, as she said
"It is good to see you too, Ali, I have missed you and Josh alot too through the years. But things with Renee made it more difficult to come for visits even for she is a selfish bitch and can't take care of herself, as she doesnt know how to either. Hopefully her asshole of a husband Phil can and will do that from now, and I dont have to see her or him anymore than I had to do at their fucked up wedding in Las Vegas of all places."
Making most chuckle or choke on their drinks/food of what she said, as Charlie was shocked and angered of what she said about his ex-wife and somewhat love-interest still to this day, despite chasing after the mourning Sue and all. Billy said
"Be nice to your mother, Bells."
"My name is not Bells, never was either, and you are not my father, Billy, nor will you ever have me in your family either. And I can be horrible towards my so-called mother, for she never was one either towards me, as I had to take care of everything that has to do with a home and take care of my own mother who wanted nothing to be a whore and little girl over a true mother. No wonders I moved out as soon I turned 18 last september."
Billy sat in shock of her words at him and Charlie too had shock now aswell some anger on his face, as Seth rubbed her back, who sat next to her while on his other side was Sue then Leah on Sue's other side, then next to Leah was Paul, whom she only tolerated the most of the pack outside Seth, and he too was kind enough towards Leah too. Paul's father who had been in the kitchen at this time of her talking, said
"Well I can agree on that your mother is no mother nor a good woman, as she threw herself alot even while married to Charlie, who was too blinded by love or whatever to see her cheating ass around, be lucky she didnt sleep with any of us, who are stronger to withstand that whore's tries to get us to fuck her."
Bella grinned, while Charlie was gapping at this, but said nothing but steam in anger in silence for now, as Paul gave a high-five to his father, who smiled and gave one to his son, who said
"Thanks, dad."
Gene Lahote just grinned and nodded his head at his son, then he too sat down next to his son, and on his other side was Tiffany, mother to Embry, who sat next to her and then on his other side was Kim, Jared's imprint and girlfriend, and he himself sat on her other side.
Bella just shook her head at their antics as she was used to them, as she was friendly with Paul enough and she loved Gene like another uncle of hers. And he knew that too of course. And then the food and drinks were eaten up within no time and then it was time for guests to go home or other places to be at, now that the funeral and after service was over with.
Bella stayed behind to help out with dishes and putting it what was out away in cabinets and stuff, while Charlie sat back waiting for a moment to talk to her again, as he felt only anger towards his daugther, whom seemed to have alot anger back at him for some unknown reason at least to himself.
Seth and Leah sat back watching Bella and their mother work in tandem to take care of the mess after the service was over with, and conversing on things under low tones. Bella knowing it had to do with the pack and stuff, let them be and talk even if her father was around and trying to listen in and see what they were talking about, but he didnt understand a word, as it was in their strange language, that Bella knew and could speak fluently, not her father knew that either.
After they were finally done, Charlie stood up and took her arm again in hard grip and pulled her out of the room in angry manner, and they went into the living room, and while they were in there, Seth looked after them with worry and antsy to go after his mate, while Leah was worried for the girl she saw as a sister, and would become her sister-in-law when herself and Seth did get married one day. Sue was worried and asked of what was going on, and Seth told her that Bella was his imprint and she was happy for her son, and asked Leah if she was ok with this, and she was defiantly so.
But all too soon, even Sue could hear the screaming and yelling from the other room...
