A few days pasted and things started getting easier. Renee was coming to Folks in another day. I was looking forward and dreading her visit.

"Bella, are you sure you want to go back?" Alice hoped, she wanted me to stay with them longer.

"I have to, as much as it pains me to go. I can't leave Renee in…in the house alone!" I sill am not able to say Charlie's name, it hurts just to think his name.

"I understand, but I will miss having you around." She half-heartedly smiled at me.

"We will all miss her, Alice. After just over two weeks with us, having you gone the house will seem empty. But she will be back, won't you Bella." Esme said more then asking, but I still nodded. Even thought I missed Charlie and my old room deeply, I was happy here with the Cullen's, it felt so natural. Having them around helped me deal with things, they understood what I was going though and were very supportive, even Rosalie. I just hope one day I can join them fully, but Edward was still dead against that.

"That's good to know. You're my sister and I don't want you to be gone long, none of us like it when family leaves us for any amount of time." Alice chimed in with her musical voice, I knew she was thinking to a few months ago when Edward was away. I couldn't help but smile, which she responded back with a smile.

"When will Renee's plane be in?" Esme asked, changing the subject.

"Around noon tomorrow. It will be nice to see her again." I sighed; wishing it wasn't for Charlie's funeral. It hurt just to think his name.

"Bella, Alice are you two ready to go now?" Edward wondered as he entered the room with our bags in his hands.

"Are you sure your ready to go back to school?" Alice asked, trying to avoid going herself. I guess after multiple times being a senior, it gets rather boring.

"Not completely, but I think I need to try and get back into a some what normal routine."

"Agreed, its best that way. Now lets get going or we will be late." Edward agreed as he swiftly picked me up and headed out the door. Of course Edward drove, which didn't give me enough time to prepare for what was waiting for me at school. In a town this small everyone knew about Charlie's passing, so when we pulled into the parking lot Jessica, Mike, Angela, and everyone else from the group was waiting.

"They all what to comfort you, especially Newton!" Edward growled Mikes name, which of course made me smile.

"No need to be jealous now!" Alice giggled in the back, Edward just glanced at me from the corner of his eye, I could tell that it didn't lighten the mood.

"Only if you knew what…oh never mind!" He hissed as I just shook my head, it couldn't be that bad. After the care was parked Edward came around to open my door like always, but some how Mike beat him there. I began to worry about what Mike was thinking, when he grinned in Edward's direction while opening my door. It couldn't be to good for I could tell it took a lot for Edward, not to have a few words with him if not more.

"How are you holding up, Bella?" He asked with concern as he helped me out of Edwards Volvo.

"I'm doing better, the Cullen's, especially Edward, are helping. Also my mother will be coming in tomorrow." I smiled at Edward, which seemed to help him calm down just a little. By this point everyone was gathering around me asking how I was doing and if there was anything they could do for me. I told them all I was fine and that everything was already being taken care of and not to worry. Once again it felt like it was the first day of school again, everyone was watching my every move. I think that they were waiting for me to lose control. Once again I was uncomfortable. The first part of the day went like this, either people asked how I was doing or just stared at me with questions in their eyes, it became quite tiresome. Finally when my last class before lunch let out I was relieved to see Edward standing against the doorframe, looking once again like a Greek God. Was I ever happy to see him, it was easier to block the pain when he was around. As I walked up to him he smiled and kissed my hair slightly.

"How was your calculus class?" This was the only class I didn't have with him. It was nice to hear a different question; rather then the one I was getting sick of answering.

"Alright, I guess. It was nice that everyone stopped asking me how I am doing, they just left me alone."

"Shocking, I thought that both Jessica and Mike would have asked you their many questions with me not there." He had a truly shocked look on his face, but yet I knew he already knew this, due to his little gift.

"Questions! What questions?" He just shook his head and smiled my favorite crocked smile. "Oh, fine then, don't tell me! I guess it had something to do with Angela telling them to let me be for a change today, but I am sure you already knew that!" I tried to sound upset, but I wasn't fooling him. He just let out a chuckle and I couldn't help but laugh too.

"It's good to hear you laugh." He said with relief in his voice.

"Being with you makes it easier." He didn't respond, but I saw the smugness cross his face before he could turn away to lead the way to the cafeteria. Edward held me close with one arm around my waist, but we walked in silence, which was a nice change from the pounding of questions I had been getting. As we grew closer to the cafeteria door I felt Edward stiffen next to me, but didn't think anything about it till I heard a familiar voice call out my name. As I slowly turn around to see Jacob standing a few from us, Edwards grip became tighter.
