Chapter 6

Trail of tears

We walked back out to the dinning area, Phil and Edward were joking and laughing. I tried to hide the fact that I was crying, surprisingly mom helped. She didn't want Phil to see his step daughter so upset. I didn't want to ruin the night for Edward.

"anyone want desert?" Edward waved a credit card in the air, I didn't want to look at mom right then, "dinners on me!"

"no, that will be all how nice of you Edward." she smiled, and Edward grinned happily. I hope she was hiding her thoughts. If only I could tell her maybe she would understand…I felt tears start to weld into my eyes.

He waved the waiter down and handed him the card. "give yourself a nice tip, you've been amazing thank you." the waiter nodded and smiled.

"thank you sir."

Edward smiled and nodded.

We got back to the house, and the whole way home mom was silent glaring out the window, it was like she was killing the city with her glare. Not that it made things awkward Edward and Phil seemed to be getting along nicely. Finally someone in my family likes him. Well he isn't blood related but still. Blood, hmm.

"Edward, what is your favorite mythical creature? I find them amazing and love to read science fiction." Phil laughed. I giggled. I knew what his favorite mythical creature was, it was strange that Phil brought it up, almost like he knew.

"Vampires of course, I find science fiction interesting too, Phil. What about you?"

"you're going to hate me for this Edward but I am a werewolf person." oh no, now we've got a problem. I thought I saw him cringe but only for a split second, before he started laughing with Phil.

"Werewolves are so immature!" Edward laughed. I had to touch him at that moment I stuck my hand on his shoulder and he turned to me and kissed my cheek if I would of blinked then I would of missed it.

"oh and you would know?!" he laughed a loud booming laugh, "I'm sure they could win against vampires any day!" I didn't even want to think about the vampires and werewolves I know fighting.

"oh no they wouldn't! They would be insane to take on Vampires." they both laughed. I didn't think it was funny.

"Phil," I interrupted, I couldn't take this any more.

"which are you Bella, vampire or werewolves?"

"mutual party Phil, can I steal Edward for a while?"

"wow that would sure make an interesting book, ha, ha sure you can take him."

I smiled at him thankfully.

Edward and I walked down the beach hand and hand. "why were you crying earlier Bella?" he looked at me his face was deadly serious, but his eyes were caring and loving.

"you noticed that?" I couldn't look him in the eyes. I couldn't breath steadily. I could barely breath at all.

"is there anything I don't notice about you?"

"no," I forced a shaky laugh.

"what happened, love?"

I couldn't keep it in any longer, I fell to the ground sobbing. He wrapped his arms around me. I shivered from tears and his icy embrace. I wanted to tell him everything, but I couldn't find my voice.

I was having hysterias. I stuck my face into his icy chest. I felt a splitting headache coming on. He kissed my forehead gently. "love, its okay. I love you."

I wanted desperately to tell him I loved him back but when I opened my mouth fresh sobs came out. "shh, love shh. It will be okay."

I was sure I couldn't cry any more. After Edward left me, I was sure I'd used up all my tears, but apparently they're still flowing great. When he noticed that I was under control he wiped my tears away with his icy hands. "forever, Isabella Marie Swan I promised you forever and always and that's what you're going to get. Now please tell me what happened." he sat and waited for me to burst out crying again and so did I. but nothing came. Maybe I had finally run out.

I took a big deep breath before I started. "she doesn't approve Edward! She isn't even coming to the wedding! She's completely disgusted of me! She hates me. Charlie was more civilized. How could this have happened?! I thought Alice said.."

"shh, its okay, shh I love you. She'll come around love she will I promise!" his phone buzzed. He pulled me close and answered it.

"Alice is everything? Shh slow down! What?! No! what do you think?"

"Edward what's wrong?!" I gasped expecting the worst.
