Hello there people. So I haven't read New Moon and I don't know when the Cullen's left but for this story they left at the end of the school year. Hopefully the chapters will get longer but I am having some trouble turning my thoughts into words so they are going to be short for awhile. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

The Start of Something Good

Four weeks later

"Bella are you up yet?"

Bella groaned and rolled over. My god it is way to early for this. She was having a nice dream and she wanted to finish it. But NO. Charlie just had to wake her up. "Five more minutes please!" She heard a chuckle and she knew that meant she wasn't getting the five minutes but she didn't care. Just as she was falling asleep again Charlie chose that moment to open her door. And as a result Bella shot out of bed. But her feet where not the first thing to hit the floor. Her face was. I can already tell this isn't going to be my day. She rolled over and was greeted with the site of a red faced Charlie. "Go ahead laugh it up," she grumbled. And laugh it up he did. Charlie was bent over holding his stomach as laughter racked his body. Although Charlie was laughing at her Bella couldn't help but smile. This was the first time he had genuinely laughed or smiled since the Cullens left. It still caused a ache to form in her chest to think about them but it wasn't as bad as before. She couldn't let it effect her as much. She was stronger than that. And she saw how much she was hurting affected Charlie.

Flashback

"I don't know what to do Renee. She doesn't eat unless I make her. She's just here and I..." Charlie stopped talking. He sucked in a breath and slowly let it out.

Bella could hear the pain in his voice. How lost he was. Have I really been that bad? I have haven't I? I have to stop moping. For myself and for Charlie. Besides the Cullens don't care about me, so I should stop caring about them. Bella got out of bed and went down the stairs. "Dad," she whispered. Charlie's head snapped up in surprise. He had trouble getting her to go to the bathroom down the hall and now she is walking down the stairs talking?

"Renee, I will call you back ok? Bye." Bella walked up to him and hugged him with all her might.

"Im sorry Dad... Im so sorry. I was only thinking of my self. I didn't think about how this would affect you. I won't get better right away but I am going to try my hardest ok? I love you." Bella was crying now and she was sure Charlie's shirt was going to be ruined after this but whatever.

"Oh Bells you don't have to be sorry. It hurts and it takes time for things like this to heal. I love you and I am going to help you through this ok?" At that point Charlie was crying as well. God she is so selfless. She is hurting and she is worried about me.

All Bella could do was nod.

That was two weeks ago. It took a little while but they eventually got a routine going. Before Charlie left for work he woke her up and made sure she had breakfast. Then he would take her to lunch on his break and when he came home Bella had dinner made. Now at first Charlie argued that she didn't need to make anything. He said he would just bring home takeout. But Bella said ' Dad if I don't do something other than watch tv and read I WILL go crazy. And I don't think you want that.' Charlie never argued about it again.

Bella was brought out of her musing by Charlie's much needed breath of air. "Aw thanks Bells I really needed that." Bella just grumbled and mumbled under her breath. "Bells you need to get ready I have a surprise for you but you need to get ready first. I will be waiting downstairs." After Charlie left Bella continued to lay on the floor for a few moments. With a sigh Bella got up to shower and get ready. After Bella showered she decided to wear a grey tank top with a green military styled coat over it with the sleeves rolled up just below the elbow and dark grey jeans with green Converse.

As Bella went down the stairs she heard another voice along with Charlie's.

"She should be down any minute now," said Charlie.

"Ok. Bella is going to freak you know that right?"

No way! Before Charlie could answer Bella launched her self the rest of the way down the stairs to embrace the other person in the room. "Angela!" Bella exclaimed.
