AN: This is going to be a short chapter. When I say short, I mean really short. I just need to clear up what happened to Charlie. I'll post the other chapter later tonight. Hopefully.
Charlie's POV:
Day of Bella's accident.
I went into work like I ussually do. Betty waited for me behind the desk. With the paper work from the car accident most likely.
"So Betty, what do you got for me today?" Doing paper work was better than doing nothing.
"Why, Charlie? What are you doing here?" Betty asked in that sweet tinkling voice of hers.
"It's Tuesday." I said mystiedified. Why wouldn't I be here?
"You're supposed to be at that Police Tactics Convention in Portland."
Oh. Shoot. I forgot about that. "What time is it?" I didn't wait for her reply. "I have to go I guess. Tell Bella that I'll be gone but I'll be back by Saturday. I can't belive I forgot!"
If I left now I would have time to pack a few quick things and skidadal out of town. It was a three hour drive. I would miss a few seminars but I didn't plan on going to them anyway.
I didn't even say good-bye to Isabella. Dang. I'll call her tonight on one of the telephones in the hotel-room. Gee, I can't believe I forgot. That shows how good a parent I am. I have to leave for almost a week and I forgot to tell my daughter. I'm just not used to it. I'll make it up to her later.
