Christmas Wish
Chapter 3
The next morning I woke with a start. I remembered everything from the night before. Only I didn't know if it was real or not. I decided to keep my thoughts of last night to myself for awhile. If I told Charlie he'd definitely take me to the nut house. I dressed quickly and headed to my truck. I was about to get in when I found him sitting there.
"Bella."
I just about melted. His sweet angelic voice purred out my name like he had been saying it for years. "Edward." I whispered out. "I am dreaming again aren't I?"
"No you are not dreaming love."
"I'm going to be late for school."
"Get in. We are going to be late for school."
"We?"
"I re-enrolled."
"Oh."
"Get in Bella. I'm driving. In the state you're in right now you would get into an accident."
"Fine." I wasn't going to argue. I got into the other side and closed the door. I didn't say anything and nor did he. I watched him. His face hadn't changed. I knew it never would. I looked away and at the scar on my hand before I finally spoke. "Why now?"
"I couldn't let you be this way Bella. I love you to much to stay away from you any longer."
"Why not earlier?"
"I needed to let you live your life first. I couldn't take you away from that."
"I wanted to be with you Edward. Forever." I looked up from my hands. "I still do." He turned towards me taking his eyes off the road.
"Road Edward."
"Built in detector. Remember."
God did I ever remember. How could I forget. I was the only mind he couldn't read. "I remember."
We got to the school and I stepped out of the truck and stood and waited. People where watching as Edward got out. They were whispering. It was just like when we started being together.
"People are starring you know." I said.
"I know. Do you care?"
"Not really. They have been like that since you left. Here or not they whisper." I grumbled. I didn't like it but I wasn't going to let it bother me.
"Well let them. I will hear if they say something that is inappropriate."
We walked together, but not hand in hand yet. I still had not forgiven him for leaving. Besides he had some more explaining as to why he left in the first place. I was not going to buy me having to live my life.
Edward ended up in a few of my classes. The same ones as when he had left originally. At lunch I noticed the Cullen family was missing. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper were a year ahead of us. Alice however came bouncing over immediately.
"Bella. Oh Bella I missed you so much."
"I missed you too."
"Forgive me please for not saying goodbye. I was forced to leave." She was glaring at Edward with hateful eyes.
"Forgiven." I missed Alice. She was fast becoming my best friend before the Cullen's had left. "However your brother still has explaining to do." I said a small smile on my face. I wasn't going to jump into the way we were just yet. Things had to be made right and going back to the way we were wouldn't help that.
"It will be done. I wouldn't have it any other way." He said from behind me.
I did find myself by the end of lunch falling into our old routine. I know Edward noticed it as well and tried to stop. It was going to be hard for us.
Edward ended up taking me home after school and Alice followed behind in his Volvo. Charlie was home and met me at the door. Concern written all over his face.
"What is the matter dad?"
"Harry is ill. Been to see 3 heart doctors now. It has me worried."
"Sorry dad."
"It's nothing kid. I do have to ask you something."
I hoped he didn't see Edward in the truck. "Sure what is it dad?"
"Did you know the Cullen's were back?" Uh-oh did he see him?
I stopped and for Charlie's sake I dropped my keys slowly picking them back up off the floor. "No. When did they come back?"
"Yesterday. Carlisle was at the hospital today. He got his old job back."
"That is good. What does it have to do with me?"
"You're not to see him. I don't want to see you hurt again Bella. I can't handle it again."
"Okay dad." Boy he was in for a rude surprise when he saw me with Edward. We would have to make sure that didn't happen quite yet. How was I going to explain that I had seen him already? He loved Alice. But Edward he'd love to shoot and kill with his own gun for hurting me. Well maybe that was going a little far, but knowing Charlie I probably got it right.
"Is Harry going to be alright dad?"
"I'm sure he is. Just pre-cautionary."
"Okay dad."
I slipped by him heading to my room before supper. Charlie was letting me off the hook for cooking today. It was pizza night. It was pizza night most nights if I didn't cook. I flung my window open and headed down to eat. I grabbed a few slices and tried to eat them as fast as I could.
"Where is the fire Bella?"
"There is no fire dad. I just feel better today."
"I'm glad about you feeling better but something is up."
"You said the Cullen's were back right. I want to go see Alice." I said. I wasn't really telling a lie. I did want to see Alice but upstairs was somebody a little more important.
"It's late Bells. I'm sure you will see her at school."
Uh-oh. Charlie had noticed I was in a hurry and my mood change. That was not a good thing. That means he will start to poke around a little bit. To be on the safe side better not leave tonight.
"Okay dad. I'll stay in. I have some homework to catch up on."
I stepped out of the kitchen and headed upstairs. Waiting by the window was Edward. He'd changed his clothes.
"You changed. Why?"
"After all the hiding out I felt yucky."
"You still have some explaining to do."
"I know."
"So start at the beginning. I've got all night."
"Your not going to like this much Bella."
"I can handle it. I've done pretty good handling things in the last few months." He was stalling. He was keeping something from me. A secret.
Well what did you think of this chapter? Not a lot in it but it was a filler. As always please read and review they are much appreciated
Thanks
