You know you love me. Review.

Walking inside later on, I spotted Nick and Charlie sitting on the couch. Nick needed to do something about his rainbow coloured hair. It made him look like a clown with a big nose.
"Bella!" exclaimed Nick, joyfully. He went to get to his feet, but Charlie frowned at him and pushed him back onto the couch.
"What's going on?" I asked Charlie, innocently. He sighed. He began to explain to me that he had been having a very interesting conversation with Nick. I didn't like how he had exaggerated on the word 'interesting'. Apparently, Nick had told Charlie that Emmett was a drug dealer, and he was helping Edward drug me so that I would stay with him. Apparently, I loved Nick, and Edward was preventing our love.
"I love Edward!" I blurted out in the midst of everything. "You know that, don't you, dad?"
As much as Charlie disliked Edward, he knew that I loved him.
"Yes, of course. Now is any of this true?"
I gasped.
"You're not taking him seriously, are you? He's… mental!" I said angrily. Now my own father was against me. Charlie frowned.
"Why was Nick dragged in here by Kevin, who said that some kids tipped him off about Nick's 'illness'. Nick says it was you, Edward, Emmett and Alice."
I was guessing that Kevin was that security guard's name.
"I don't know," I lied, looking at the ground. Charlie sighed.
"Well, Nick's grandmother called a while ago, wondering where he was, and that she had a bad back and couldn't carry Nick's nightlight out to her car. I'm dropping Nick home, and then I'm going to pay the Cullen's a visit."
"What?" I gasped, alarmed. He wasn't going to arrest anyone, was he? I scowled at Nick.
"Bella, I have to take everything into account. I'll just go over, ask some questions, and have a look around," said Charlie. I frowned.
"Don't you need a warrant for that?"
"If they've got nothing to hide, I'm sure they won't mind me having a look around."

Charlie and I walked up onto Edward's porch and knocked on the door. Esme opened it the minute I finished knocking, and swung it open to allow us to walk in.
"Hello Mrs Cullen, I hope I'm not interrupting," said Charlie, smiling at Esme. Esme led us into a room where Edward, Emmett, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper and Carlisle were sitting around a large oak table. Two large legs of lamb were in the centre of the table, and random plates of vegetables were scattered around them. Seven plates lined the outside of the table. There was only a small amount of food on each plate. Esme took her seat by Carlisle's side, while Charlie and I sat on the sofa.
"Does anyone want dessert?" asked Esme.
"Nope, I'm full. That was brilliant, Esme," said Emmett, rubbing his tummy. Esme smiled lovingly at him.
"Okay then, that means you and Rosalie are on dishwashing duty," she said, smiling. Emmett groaned. Rosalie got to her feet gracefully, and slapped Emmett's shoulder.
"Okay, okay!" he protested, as Rosalie giggled. He got to his feet and helped her collect all of the dishes off of the table. I didn't understand why they had gone to so much trouble to prepare food that they weren't planning to eat. Had Alice seen us coming?
"We have reason to believe that one or more of your family members has come in contact with drugs," Charlie told Esme and Carlisle. Esme frowned.
"We aren't like that, Charlie. If anyone in this house was, then I would know about it."
Edward frowned at Charlie.
"Esme and Carlisle are wonderful parents," he told Charlie. "They have willingly taken us in. We would never betray their trust."
"Oh, wouldn't we, Edward?" interrupted Alice, smiling. "Remember when Carlisle told Emmett to stop playing around with Carlisle's computer? It didn't end up so well."
"Yes, but he didn't go unpunished. His jeep is covered in pink. It was such a shame that all of the spray painters in town were too busy to repaint it," grinned Jasper.
"Yes, wasn't it, Jasper?" came Emmett's voice from the kitchen. Jasper grinned.
"As I was saying," interrupted Charlie, "I'm going to need to search your house."
"Feel free," grinned Jasper, "but be careful not to get buried in all of the ripped up clothes Emmett and Rose have lying around their room. They get pretty… into it."
Charlie frowned.
"Perhaps I'll start there then," he sighed. He walked up the stairs and into Emmett and Rosalie's room.
"What was with all of the food?" I asked Alice, the minute he was out of earshot.
"Oh, I knew you were coming. Edward was bored, so he decided to make dinner. But we prefer raw meat," explained Alice. Edward chuckled.
"We had to let Charlie see us eating that disgusting food. But not one bit of it managed to get into our mouths," he grinned.
At that moment, Charlie appeared in front of us holding a small bag. It appeared to be filled with white powder.
"I found a whole wardrobe full of this in your room, Edward. Lots of it in a box with photos of a naked lady on the outside," he said, angrily. "Edward, I'm arresting you on…"
Edward cut him off.
"It's not what you think, Charlie."
Rosalie and Emmett glided into the room, hand in hand.
"You're the girl with no clothes on!" exclaimed Charlie, pointing a finger at Rosalie. Rosalie grinned, pushing Emmett away from her. She looked down at her jeans and tank top and groaned.
"The first time I've been happy today," she muttered to herself. Charlie raised am eyebrow at her, before turning to Edward.
"You're cheating on Bella with her, and she's cheating on Emmett. And you're doing porn? Nick was right about you."
Edward had pornographic photos of Rosalie in his room? I frowned at him. He smiled.
"We aren't related, Charlie. And no, we aren't cheating. Those vulgar photos you found in my room belong to Emmett," he said, smiling. Charlie sighed.
"So these are Emmett's drugs?"
Emmett grabbed the bag from Charlie. He stuck his finger in the powder and licked it off. Charlie pulled out his rifle and pointed it at Emmett.
"Put those down!" he ordered. Emmett chucked the bag to him, laughing.
"It's just sherbet!"
I burst out laughing as Charlie lowered his rifle. He stuck his finger in the bag, and tasted the sherbet.
"Oh, yes, well…" mumbled Charlie. "Sorry."
"Emmett, what's the go with you and porn?" asked Jasper, frowning slightly. Carlisle smiled at Emmett.
"You know
"So now do you believe me that Nick was lying to you?" I asked him. "He's obsessed with me, dad. It's not normal. He's mental!"
The Cullen's front door burst open and Nick Newton walked in…
… Holding a gun.

Okay, so I know I've been bad with updating lately. But don't worry; I've already got the next chapter ready. You guys will be seeing it very soon. I've had some interesting reviews about Nick, and I agree with you all. He IS weird!
