Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but I do enjoy writing fanfiction for it.
A/N: So I'm still packing because I own more stuff than I thought and also packing really sucks! I'm going to try and update as much as I can. This chapter came out to be about 7,100 words longest chapter I've ever written!
I want to dedicate this chapter to FiestySicilianMoon30! You are always there giving me fantastic feedback on every chapter I write, and even allow me to bounce ideas off of you! I truly appreciate every single message that you send me! Every single chapter you're helping me by giving me ideas and even helping me plan for the next chapter. So thank you and this one is for you!
I slowly allow Bella to pull away for air one of the beauties of being a vampire, and the down side to having a human for a mate. I gently kiss her cheek and we both lie our heads back down.
"Best. Date. Ever." I hear Bella whisper as she snuggles closer.
I smile as I pull her closer and just enjoy the sound of the music and the sound of Bella's heartbeat. She's right. Best. Date. Ever.
Bella's P.O.V.
I groan as I feel the sunlight in my eyes. I snuggle my face deeper into my pillow as I sigh.
"You know I'm starting to think that you like my breasts more than you like me." I groan again as I hear the smile Tanya has on her face in her voice.
"I neither confirm nor deny your statement. All I will says is that they are always comfortable and always there for me to lie on." I snuggle my face directly in-between her breasts and sigh. I smile as I hear Tanya moan softly.
"None of that if you still plan on going to talk to the Cullen's today. I'm already going to have trouble controlling my thoughts around Edward so please don't make it worse." Tanya groans as she gently pushes on my side to dislodge me from my position.
"I don't know why it matters I'm sure you're going to be taunting him with our date last night." Now that I think about that I don't remember how I got back here.
"I am not! I'm still going to keep my mind focused on the task at hand and in no way as I going to gloat about how you choose me over him. Also you fell asleep while we were lying down so I brought you back here and had the others cleanup for me." Sometimes I feel like she can read my mind which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Thank you for because I was wondering. Also I didn't really have a choice with you." I'm confused when I feel Tanya go completely rigid beneath me until I realize what I said.
"Angel," she whimpers sounding completely heartbroken as she starts to loosen her grip around my waist.
I quickly sit up and straddle her waist as I lean over and place my hands on both sides of her so she has to look at me. I couldn't resist the smile on my face as I feel Tanya starting to get hard. "Tanya I didn't mean it like that. You didn't force me into this I swear, nobody did honestly. What I meant was I didn't have a choice because you made it so blatantly obvious that you were the right one for me. Are you really going to make me be sappy this early in the morning?" I smile as I lean down and gently kiss her.
"If I say no do I get to have another kiss?" She asks being completely serious.
"Even if you had said yes I still would have kissed you." I say as I lean down to give her another kiss.
"Okay enough of that you two! Bella, time for you to go eat the breakfast Carmen is finishing for you now, and Tanya time for you to go hunt to get ready for later. We don't need you flipping your shit over something one of the Cullen's say because you're hungry." I groan rather loudly so Kate knows that her timing really sucks. I mean we were going to do anything, but I was really enjoying Tanya's lips. Also what in the hell possessed her to burst into our room uninvited. Hmm our room...I really enjoy the sound of that.
"You know Kate I really want to kill you right now." Tanya growls as she slowly removes me from her lap. She quickly sits up to cross her legs and place her hands in her lap most likely to hide her erection.
"Love, please don't kill your sister I'm sure she's simply trying to look out for you." I lean over to kiss her cheek in hopes of calming her down.
"Listen to your girlfriend Tanya she's the smart one in this relationship." Kate says as she walks over and takes a seat at the foot of our bed.
"She's not my girlfriend." Tanya whispers as she starts picking at invisible lint on the bed.
"How am I not your girlfriend?" I ask genuinely confused by what she just said.
"I never got the chance to ask you last night. I waited longer than I had originally anticipated and well then when I felt like the time was right you were falling asleep and I didn't want you to say yes because you were half way passed out." She says briefly looking at me before looking away embarrassed.
I smile at the prospect of being asked to be her girlfriend instead of simply being implied. "Well then how about you go hunt, and I'll go eat breakfast and we can see about this whole asking situation when you get back." I pat her thigh as I hop out of bed choosing to ignore the fact that I'm in pajamas. I walk into the bathroom to take care of some human things before heading downstairs.
By the time I make it down to the kitchen everybody'd gone except Kate and Irina. I roll my eyes at what I know is about to come.
"Aren't you so lucky Bella? You get to have some sister bonding time with us for the next few hours!" Kate says sounding way too excited for my liking.
"Oh joy I get to spend the next few hours constantly embarrassed by the perverted thing I know you're going to say." I couldn't keep the sarcasm out of my voice. Hopefully she noticed.
"We're not going to embarrass you Bella. We simply want to talk so we can get to know each other better since you're with our sister." I feel like I'm being led into a false sense of security.
"Okay," I say as I take my spot at the counter where my breakfast has been set.
"So Bella, how do you feel about the Cullen's being back?" Irina asks me as she watched me take my first bite of my breakfast omelet.
"I don't really care either way honestly. I'm happy that Emmett and Alice are back but other than that they left me so I don't feel much towards them." I say as I take another bite of my sausage, mushrooms, and cheese omelet.
"Didn't you miss the others at all?" Kate asks me being serious for the first time since I've met her.
"None of you ever really gave me time to miss them. I mean the first couple of days I did, but then Carmen took the place of Esme which is what I craved the most since my own mom isn't really around. Tanya has been my rock through all of this and the rest of you filled in the holes they left." I say probably too nonchalant.
"So when are you and Tanya going to have sex? I love my sister but this whole being a virgin this is getting old and very boring." I nearly choke to death on my orange juice. I knew it! False sense of security before she takes this someplace she has no business going!
"I'm pretty sure Tanya wouldn't like us having this conversation with Bella especially since she's not here." Irina says as she quickly comes to my defense as she pats my back.
"I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm simply trying to look out got my sister and our new sister!" I don't know whether to feel honored or completely mortified that Kate is trying to talk about my nonexistent sex life. This by the way isn't any of her damn business regardless!
"Okay I am NOT having this conversation with you Kate! Change the subject so I can finish eating my breakfast in peace!" I say as I take another bite of my omelet willing my blush to fade away.
"You know Bella you're seriously no fun sometimes." Kate whines as she starts to pout and cross her arms over her chest.
"Must you always be a big baby when you don't get your way?" Irina says starting to become irritated with Kate's antics.
"I'm not acting like a baby! I'm simply trying to live vicariously through Bella and she's giving me absolutely nothing to work with here!" Kate shouts as she throws her hands up in the air.
"There are so many things wrong with what you just said that I don't even feel the need to correct you." I quickly finish off my omelet and orange juice and gather all of my dishes together to take to the sink.
"I got it." Kate says as she quickly grabs the dishes from my hand and starts to wash them before I have time to protest.
"Really you didn't need to do that Kate. I'm perfectly capable of washing my own dishes." I sigh as I sink back down into my seat.
"I know you are, but I'm trying to be nice. Don't spoil it because it will rarely happen." She says smiling over her shoulder.
"She's right you should cherish the moments she's nice because they're few and very far between." Irina says as she sends a teasing smile Kate's way.
"Wow way to make me sound like the worst sister ever!" Kate whines as she finishes the dishes and heads to the living room.
Irina and I smile at each other as we quickly follow behind her. I take a seat in the love seat and feel my smile falter but I quickly recover from it.
"What's wrong Bella? You suddenly started looking like somebody kicked your puppy when you sat down." Irina asks me sounding concerned.
"I'm okay honestly it's just that usually when I seat here Tanya is with me. I just miss her is all which is sad because she's only been gone for a little over an hour." Oh god I really hope I'm not becoming one of those people that can't be without their significant other for long periods of time.
"It's okay to feel that way Bella. It's a sign that your mating bond is getting stronger. Trust me when I say that Tanya is feeling the exact same way. Laurent and I feel sad whenever we aren't around each other it is natural so don't worry about it make you seem clingy or anything." Believe it or not what she said actually made me feel better.
"I'm mostly just worried about me becoming too dependent on Tanya like I was on Edward. Also nobody has ever really experienced with a mating bond." I have been meaning to talk to Tanya about this but I either keep forgetting or I just never feel like it's the right time to bring it up.
"That's a conversation you'll have to have with Tanya because it's different for everybody as the other have explained to you. But I have to ask you something and I need you to answer me honestly." Irina says sounding serious. I try not to feel worried, but I know Irina is extremely protective of her sisters.
"I don't see a reason to lie to you Irina so feel free to ask." I say with a smile as I turn to give Irina my full attention.
"Why are you so willing to answer her questions, but when I ask something I get yelled at?!" Kate all but shouts as she looks between Irina and me frustrated.
"Because I know the meaning of the word boundaries while you my dear little sister don't." Irina says still looking at me with a serious face.
"I resent that statement but anyway ask Bella whatever it was that is making you look way too serious." See it's not just me who thinks she looks way to serious! I'm starting to feel nervous under Irina's intense gaze.
"Bella are you in love with Tanya?" Wait a minute was that all she wanted to ask me?
"Yes I am," I say without have to take a moment to think about my answer.
"Are you sure you don't need time to think about it?" She asks me still looking at me with a very intense gaze.
"I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I'm in love with Tanya everything about her makes my heart swell with love that is meant purely for her." I say speaking completely from the heart.
I guess I said the right thing when I see a smile break out across Irina's face. "That's a good answer just keep that in mind when you're talking to the Cullen's later." I watch as both Irina and Kate get eerily quiet for a few seconds before a smile breaks out across Irina's face.
"The others are on their way back sooner than we expected, and Irina's excited to see Laurent hints why she has that crazy big smile across her face." I feel smile breaks out across my face as soon as Kate says they're on their way back. I'm really excited to see Tanya.
"Oh great and now you have the same smile as well. My god you are both so sappy it's almost sickening!" Kate whines as I hear the front door open and see Tanya walk through first.
I don't even have time to stand up before I feel Tanya sitting beside me in our love seat and I'm comfortably snuggled into her side. "Hello angel," she whispers softly as she nestles her head in my hair.
"Hi, did you have fun?" I whisper back trying to fight back a blush I can feel making its way up my neck.
"No," she says simply as she moves her head and quickly pulls me up to straddle her lap like earlier this morning.
"Why didn't you have fun?" I ask seriously concerned.
"Because I have a lot on my mind but I didn't have you there to be my sound board and help me with it." I'm confused as to where she's going with this.
"Well what's on your mind? Hopefully I can help you figure it out." She has this faint smile on her face that is really confusing me right now. I thought something was wrong but she's smiling. Am I missing something?
"Well there's this girl I really want to ask to be my girlfriend but I don't quite know how to ask." A smile breaks out on my face at the absolutely adorable way Tanya is going about this.
"Well what would lead you to believe that she wants to be your girlfriend?" I ask trying to sound completely serious.
"Well she did just go out on a date with me and said it was the best date ever. Also she did just choose me over her ex so I'm pretty sure I have a very good chance of her wanting to be."
"Well then, I think you should just be totally up front with her and just ask. If you're so sure she'll say yes then hold on to that faith, and I'm pretty sure she'll say yes." I really love how Tanya and I don't always have to be serious when we're around each other. I feel like I can truly be myself around her and I hope she feels the same way.
"Pretty sure or definitely sure? I'm afraid won't be able to find the courage to ask her if there's a chance she might say no." She says giving me a cheeky smile.
"Oh I'm definitely sure she will say yes to her big strong vampire." I quickly look behind me and realize that Tanya and I are the only ones in the living room.
"Well then with that being said. Isabella my angel will you be my girlfriend?" She asks me with a shy smile.
I smile as I wrap my arms around her neck as I lean close to whisper in her ear. "I would love nothing more." I then quickly kiss her cheek as I lean back and rest myself heavily in her lap.
"So just to clarify that's a yes, right?" She says with a dazed look in her eyes, and I couldn't resist the urge to roll mine.
"Oh my god yes!" I quickly lean down and seal my answer with a quick kiss.
"So my beautiful girlfriend would you like to watch a few movies until it's time to get ready to leave?" I absolutely love the sound of her calling me her girlfriend.
"Will the others be joining us?" I ask trying to decide if I want to stay in Tanya's lap or not.
"Yes!" Kate says as she comes barreling down the stairs at a semi human pace. The others slowly follow behind her shaking their heads at Kate's antics.
"So what movie would you like to watch angel?" Tanya asks as I slowly remove myself from her lap and take my original spot snuggled into her side with her arm wrapped around my waist.
"I don't care really. How about we let Eleazar pick this time?" I say as I rest my head on her shoulder feeling really happy.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea Bella." I hear Carmen say from her spot next to Eleazar on the couch in a position similar to the one Tanya and I are in right now.
I silently nod my head as I feel all of my muscles start to relax as Tanya rubs soothing patterns along my arm.
For the next few hours the family and I watch movies and tell stories about the past. I love how relaxed and open all of them are around each other. They act like more of a family than the Cullen's ever did. We take a break from the stories when it's time for me to eat lunch, but that's when Kate and Irina take turns trying make me choke on my food. Luckily for me Carmen is able to get rid of them so I can finish. Overall it was an all-around relaxing day that I hope to have again soon.
I was so relaxed I was seriously considering not going to the Cullen's at all, but alas it's time for all of us to head out. I've decided to let Tanya carry me most of the way there so I can get this done and over with faster. Tanya carried me until we're just out of hearing range of the Cullen's.
"Angel, are you sure you still want to do this? I can just take you back home instead so you can spend a more hours with Charlie." I love hoe she's giving me the option of ditching this probably pointless meeting.
"No I told them I would hear them out and it would be unfair for me to go back on my word, but thank you for the possible out. I truly appreciate it." I say with a faint smile as I grab her hand and interlock our fingers.
I start the short walk towards the Cullen's house with Tanya and Laurent close behind. As we get closer and closer to the house I notice that the rest of the family stopped following but stayed close enough to hear the conversation and intervene if anything bad were to happen.
Sooner than I would have liked we are walking up the front steps to the Cullen's house. Before any of us have time to knock Edward is standing at the door with a glare on his face directed at Tanya.
He looks at me briefly with the usual pained smile on his face. "Hello love," he says so I quickly turn to look behind me to see who he's talking to because I know good and well it's not me.
"Edward are you just going to stand there being pathetic and desperate or are you going to let us in? We told Charlie we would have Bella home by 7 and whether we're done here or not she's leaving." Laurent says already irritated with this whole situation.
I hear Edward growl as he steps out of the way and allows all of us to walk inside. I smile as I walk into the living room and see that it's set up just how I asked. Split down the middle most of the Cullen's on one side and Emmett and Alice on my side with Laurent, Tanya, and I.
"Bella I'm so happy that you actually showed up." Esme says from her spot next to Carlisle with a sad smile gracing her face. I take a seat next to Tanya and sit as close as I can.
I told you I would be so here I am." I pull out my phone as see that the time is 3:18. I quickly slide my phone back into my pocket as I turn to address the other half of the room. "It's now 3:18 you all have until 6:45 to make your points before I leave to have dinner with Charlie. Make that time count." I cross my arms over my chest and smirk at Edward as I feel Tanya wrap her arm around my waist.
"Okay so I would like to start off by thanking Bella for showing up today. I would also like to apologize for everything that has transpired the past few days. All that matters now is that you are finally here although I would have preferred it were just as a family with all of the Denali's present." He says the last part as he glares at Tanya and Laurent.
"Well that wasn't going to happen on this side of heaven, but please carry on unless you're going to continue to be rude then I could just leave now." I say as I start to stand up with Tanya matching me step for step.
"No wait Bella please don't leave! I'm sorry that was rude of me to say and I had no right. Please sit down so we may hash this all out." Carlisle says rather quickly when he realizes that I was actually about to leave.
"Then say what you want to say without insulting the Denali's. They were there for me when you weren't and I won't tolerate your insults." I say as I sit back down crossing my arms and lean into Tanya.
"Bella you can't be serious here! We were only gone for 5 months it couldn't have possibly been that bad for you to turn on us like this!" Edward says outraged with my outburst.
"It was a long 5 months Edward! You didn't see her when you almost broke her by calling her worthless and then just leaving her in the middle of the woods. You took away the family she never really had but always wished for! So did you really think coming back was going to grant you instant forgiveness?!" Tanya shouts sounding seriously pissed off and it's all directed towards Edward.
"I didn't take anything from her! They're my family and they left with me because that was the right thing to do! We were just putting Bella's life in danger and she would have been fine without us if Alice hadn't have called you and ruined everything." I quickly uncross my arms and grip Tanya's thigh as hard as I can as I feel anger course though my veins. I swear if I could I would slap the holy shit out of him right now.
"I was looking out for my best friend! I told you what would happen if we left her, and you all refused to listen to me! All of you were so damn concerned about making Edward happy that none of you gave a damn about Bella's happiness! Don't you dare sit there and judge Emmett and I because we acting more like Bella's family than any of you did!" Alice yells from her position sitting on the arm of the couch.
"I told you to leave her alone so she could live a normal life! You were to do what you were told since Bella is my mate!" I hear Tanya growl deeply as she pulls me closer to her as Edward again calls me his mate.
"Let's make one thing very clear here Edward. You are not the coven leader so really your word doesn't mean shit to any of us. The only reason why you get away with so much of your bullshit is because we all know that you're Carlisle's favorite, and I'm sorry but Esme doesn't have enough of a backbone to call either of you out on it." Emmett's booming voice says from his position standing next to Alice.
"Okay we aren't dealing with these family problems right now. How about we let somebody else get a chance to get a word in?" Esme says trying to salvage this meeting as much as she can even though I can see that what Emmett said really affected her.
"How about Rosalie or Jasper get a chance to finally say something?" Alice says as she starts to calm down probably with the help of Jasper's ability.
"Thank you darlin' I would first like to apologize for everything that happened at your birthday, but I would like to point out that I was just fine after the paper cut. What pushed me over was when Edward throw you through the glass table and caused you to hurt yourself worse. So really all of this is Edward's fault because I wanted to apologize, but he told me you thought I was a monster and never wanted to see me again. I really am sorry that I believed him. If I had known the truth I never would have voted to leave you behind." I can't help the smile that breaks out across my face as I notice how quickly Jasper threw his brother under the proverbial bus.
"I don't care about what happened at my birthday honestly. I was never mad at you for what happened even though I told all of you that I never wanted a party." I say the last part as I look over at Alice with a pointed glare. "What I was upset about what that you left, but you have a legitimate excuse as to why you left Jasper. I'm still upset with you for leaving, but with time I might be able to find a way to forgive you." I say with a faint smile on my face.
"I would like to point out that Emmett and Alice didn't say goodbye either, but the fact that they stayed in contact with you makes everything better?" Rosalie asks sounding condescending as usual.
"No, it doesn't make everything better, but the fact that they bought Tanya and the Denali's into my life makes them more than forgive. Although I will still be having a conversation with them, but they aren't the points who can't seem to get a hint." I say directed that last comment at Esme, Edward, and Carlisle. "You all leaving changed everything, but now that you're all back honestly nothing has changed. Besides why in the hell do you care you never made it a secret that you didn't like me?" I sigh as I feel a headache starting to form.
"It's not that I didn't like you per say I just didn't like how pathetic you were when you were around Edward. I'm actually glad that you're with Tanya she seems to have helped you find a backbone. I'm not here looking for your forgiveness because you have made it crystal clear to me that you aren't in a forgiving mood right now." Rosalie finishes as she quickly grabs one of her car magazine as starts leafing though it completely ignoring the growl Edward sends her way.
"Look at that somebody who understands that begging for my forgiveness is absolutely pointless. Besides why did all of you decide to come back so suddenly?" I ask genuinely curious as to why they're really doing back here.
"Bella I never wanted to leave you I swear, but Edward said it was what you wanted." Esme says looking like she was about to cry.
"You say you wanted what was best for me, but you also knew that I never really had the best relationship with my mom. I was so happy when you stepped up and took over that role, but when you just up and left me. Then my favorite part to add insult to injury you didn't even fight to stay yet you call me your daughter as if that means anything to me anymore. Do you not understand how much of a slap in the face that is?" I ask need her to understand how much her leaving hurt me.
"Bella please don't be upset with Esme. She was just doing what she thought you wanted." Carlisle says quickly coming to his wife's rescue.
"Honestly Carlisle I wasn't surprised when I found out you didn't fight for me. I know you considered me a daughter but Edward will forever be your Golden Boy and whatever he wants he gets everybody else's feeling and opinions be damned." I say as I lean my head on Tanya's shoulder feeling my head starting to hurt even more.
"Bella that's not true I still consider you my daughter. If you will just calm down and give us a chance to explain ourselves." What the hell are they still trying to explain that they haven't already?!
"What the hell have you been doing since you showed up at our house? All you seem to do is try to explain something! What the hell else do you have left to explain that you haven't managed to do by now?!" See right there another reason to love Tanya and her ability to read my mind!
"How dare you think of my Bella? She would never even consider kiss the likes of you!" Edward shouts seemingly out of the blue. I knew Tanya wouldn't be able to control herself around him.
"Edward I have every right to think about kissing my girlfriend all I please." Tanya says with a smug smile on her face.
"Liar! Bella would never choose you over me even if she is upset with me right now!" Edward shouts as he looks at me with pleading eyes hoping that I will agree with him.
"Oh Edward let me tell you what I told Tanya this morning. Me being with Tanya isn't by choice because she makes it so blatantly obvious that she's the right one for me. She gives me everything that you didn't and never could. I'm honestly so in love with her that it made the love that I had for you child's play." I didn't even realize what I said until I heard the whole room gasp and look at me in pure shock.
"You're in love with me?" I hear Tanya whisper from beside me.
Well that wasn't how I was planning on telling her, but I'll die before I take it back. "Tanya I'm so in love with you that it hurts sometimes." I say as I look into her eyes and run the back of my hand along her cheek gently.
"No! This can't be happening! Bella please tell me you aren't being serious right now! You're not fucking gay! We were together for over a year! What the actual hell?!" Edward shouts starting to throw a temper tantrum like he's a 5 year old.
"Just because I dated you doesn't mean I was straight. Just like me being with Tanya doesn't make me a lesbian. I've always been bisexual actual I just never found a girl I wanted to date, and well then we started dating and it was never an issue." The look of shock on everybody's face was absolutely priceless.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! I don't accept this! You loved me and what we had was stronger than whatever this is you have with that slut!" I feel myself growl as I hear him call my Tanya a slut.
"Actually Edward I'm sorry but Tanya and Bella have the strongest bond I've ever felt. What Bella says the love she had for you paled in comparison to what she feels for Tanya." Jasper says as he looks between me and Tanya with a faint smile on his face.
"Why are you doing this to me Bella? Was I really that bad of a mate that you decided to hurt me so badly by turning on me the first chance you got? And with Tanya no less! Couldn't you at least have chosen somebody who wouldn't sleep with anything that could walk?!" I feel something in me snap as my head finally stops hurting.
I feel like I've having an out of body experience as I watch all of the vampires in the room throw into a walk. I look to see that Tanya is still sitting next to me looking at the others suspended in the air stuck against the wall. I slowly stand up and walk over to Edward. "Why do you always talk about Tanya as if you know anything about her? Honestly I should kill you right now simply because you don't have the power to stop me." I watch my hand lift as I walk closer to Edward and place my hand over his heart. I hear him starting to yell in pain, but I continue anyway.
I feel soothing arms wrap around my waist and pull me close. "Angel I need you to calm down and let everybody go. I understand what Edward said upset you, but please for me let it go this time."
I take a deep breath as I watch Edward hit the ground holding his chest in pain. I quickly break free of Tanya's grasp as rush out of the Cullen's front door. I stop briefly to see all of the Denali's standing in the yard looking at me with a mixture of confusion, fear, and astonishment.
I feel the tears start to fall down my face as I quickly run off in the direction of my house. I don't stop running even when I hear Tanya yelling after me. I can't stand the fact that I caused the Denali's fear. They for sure don't want me to be part of their family anymore. Oh god are they going to leave me like the Cullen's did?
I feel my lungs start to burn but I don't stop running until I burst through the front door behind me as I lean against it trying to catch my breath.
"Bella are you okay?" I nearly jumped out of my skin as I hear Charlie's concerned voice.
"Yeah, I'm okay it's just been a stressful weekend is all." I say as I quickly wipe the tears from my face and take a deep breathes.
"Well why don't we go out to eat and talk about it?" I really don't feel like leaving the house and running into anybody. I just want to spend some quality time with my father.
"How about I cook for us instead? I know we still have some steaks in the fridge that need to be eaten." I say as I start to calm down finally and walk to the kitchen.
"That sounds like a great idea, but are you sure you're okay?" He asks and I can feel myself starting to breakdown again.
I quickly throw myself into his arms and cry on his shoulder as I tell him everything. Well almost everything since I of course make sure to leave out the fact that the Cullen's and the Denali's are vampires.
I tell him about the Cullen's being back in Forks. I tell him about how I went over to their house with the Denali's and got into a huge argument with Edward. I told him about how Tanya was my rock when Edward abandoned me in the woods. I finally told him that I'm bisexual. Hell I even confessed to being insanely in love with Tanya. During that whole time he never interrupted me and just let me keep venting until I was done.
"Wow...that's just wow," is all he says at first and I can feel more tears starting to well up in my eyes. "I'm sorry you never felt like you could talk to me about all of this until now Bella." He says as he pulls me into an almost bone crushing hug.
"I didn't want to burden you with all of my drama. You have enough to deal with being the Police Chief. Also I didn't want you to start worrying about me all the time." I say as I rest my head on his shoulder feeling absolutely exhausted.
"Bella you're my daughter I will always worry about you regardless of what's going on in both of our lives. Now are you and Tanya dating?"
"We went on a date yes, and she even asked me to be her girlfriend." I feel a blush making its way up my neck as I remember the amazing time I had with her.
"Does she make you happier than that boy ever did?" He asks going into protective father mode quickly.
"Honestly dad I've never been so happy in my entire life." I smile just think about Tanya and how much she's affected my life in such a short time.
"Well I'm going to need to talk to Tanya I hope you know, but as long as you're happy then I'm happy. Now you said that the Cullen's are back and you went to see them. Whose idea was that?" He asks using his police officer voice.
"The Cullen's asked me to come over and I had a few things to say so I went. Tanya honestly didn't want me to go, but I wanted to prove to them that I'm not the same Bella they left behind all those months ago." Honestly that was the point of this whole weekend, except for the date I wanted to do that before they came back.
"Well you're certainly not the same Bella as before. You know I suspected that you and Tanya were more than just friends because she's literally always here helping you with either your homework or cooking for you. Don't get me wrong as your father I'm not happy that she's that boy's cousin or that she's 8 years older than you, but also as your father I support you in anything you do and realize that you're 18 and don't need my permission. But keep in mind if she hurts you I'm going to shoot her." I swear I think I love Charlie a million times more now than I did yesterday if that's even possible.
"Okay we need to stop talking now because I've been crying way too much and it's terrible." I say with a smile as I stand up from the couch that I don't remember sitting down on and walk to the kitchen.
"Are you still planning to cook?" Charlie asks from his spot still on the couch.
"Did you not want steak anymore?" I ask confused by what he just asked me.
"How about we just order pizza instead? You've had a long and emotional day and I don't want you to worry about steaks right now. Besides you might want to call Tanya since you said you ran away. She's probably worried sick about you." I want to call her honestly I do, but after what happened I don't think I can face her right now.
"How about I call in the pizza real quick and we can watch something on TV? I would like to put off calling each other because I still need to figure out how I'm going to explain my running away. Also I believe Tanya knows I made it home safely." I feel like Tanya is close by. I don't know if it's because of our bond or if it's because of what I did at the Cullen's house.
I've quickly call in the pizza and takes spot on the couch next to Charlie. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't moved to his chair by now. I smile as I feel him wrap his arm around my shoulder as we watch one of his games until the pizza shows up 20 minutes later. Charlie volunteers to get the door and pay for the pizza.
Charlie and I eat in silence as I think about how what I'm going to say to Tanya. All I can think about is the look in the Denali's eyes when I ran out of the house. I don't think I would be able to survive if they all left me because of this. I decided its best if I stopped thinking about it and just enjoy my time with Charlie for a few more hours. I don't know what happened and I'm not sure if I want to find out.
A/N 2: So this was not how I had originally planned for this chapter to go, but it clearly had a mind of its own because it just kept going and going and going as you can see.
