Chapter 3 Where?
Bella Pov.
I set the phone down for the millionth time. I was debating on if I should call Edward or not. He said that he would be right here after he dropped off his siblings. But it was almost four and he was not here yet. Maybe he left, no don't you think about that Bella. He loves you, but he has left before. Yes and he said that he would never do it again. But didn't he say that after James tried to kill you. I finally gave up on my internal debate and decided that I would call Alice. She would know what happened to Edward. I
grabbed the phone and dialed.
"H…e…y… B…e…l…l…a…" It sounded like she was trying to keep from laughing.
"Alice is you ok?" I could hear laughing sounds coming from the phone.
"Yep I'm great; I know Edward is not there. Don't overreact or worry Bella he is fine, it's kind of funny actually. I will be leaving here soon to come get you and I will explain everything once you get here. O I'm calling Charlie to ask if you can spend the night so pack your bags. Be there soon." The phone line disconnected after that. I decided to go pack before Alice got here and did it for me. While I was packing I started to think about what could have happened to Edward. I hoped that it was not serious. Just as I
finished I heard the door open and Alice called up to me.
"Ok Bella time to go."
"I wanted to wait and see if Charlie was going to get home soon Alice, so I could say goodbye." I told her as I came down the stairs. Alice sniggered.
"I don't think he will be home for a while Bella. He is having too much fun at work." That was strange; Charlie always looked forward to coming home.
"Don't worry about it Bella come on let's get you to my house before all the fun starts."
Fun? What was going on? We got to the car and started to the Cullen's house. As we pulled into the garage I looked to see if the Volvo was there. It was not; that meant that where ever Edward was that he had taken his car with him. We got out of the car and went into the house. Everyone said their version of Hello to me as soon as we got in. I was even more nervous to see that everyone except Edward was here. Jasper must have picked up on my feelings because the next thing I knew I felt calm.
"Alice how much longer" Carlisle asked.
Alice looked out into space for a minute before saying. "Another five minutes." She then got an evil grin on her face. This looked scared me because I had come to notice that when she made that face it normally involved me.
"Oh you know what would be funny?" Emmett asked while bouncing off his seat. "We should have Bella answer the phone." Phone? What was going on here?
"No Emmett I'm going to answer this is going to be bad enough." Just as he said that the phone rang. Carlisle walked over to answer it. I looked around; clearly everyone knew who was on the phone because they were all watching Carlisle. Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rose all looked entertained and
amused while Esme looked very worried.
"Hello Cullen house." Carlisle said into the phone.
"Yes Chief Swan what can I do for you?" My dad, what was he doing calling here?
"Yes I would like to talk to him." He waited for a second and then I heard a voice on the other line. It was muffled so I could not make out the voice or what it was saying but it sounded familiar. However whoever it was on the other line must have been yelling with all the noise they were making.
"Edward calm down she is right here. Would you like to talk to her?" Carlisle said. What was Edward doing with my dad? This was getting really strange. Carlisle looked at me and waved so that I would walk over to him. Then he went back to talking to Edward.
"I know son. We will be there within the hour here is Bella." With that he handed me the phone.
"Hello Edward?" I asked.
"Bella I am so sorry for all of this. I hope I did not scare you." Well I was scared when he did not show up but as long as he was coming back soon and he was ok then I was ok.
"No I'm ok" I lied "are you ok."
"Please don't lie to me Bella you are a horrible liar. And yes I'm ok."
"Ok I panicked a little but I'm fine now. Where are you?"
"No one has told you where I am?"
"No, what is going on?"
"Bella are you sitting down?"
"No do I need to?"
"Yes please, when you sit down I will tell you where I am." I went over to the chair and sat down. "Ok I'm sitting." He took a deep breath before saying "I'm in jail."
A/N I love cliff hangers. Review if you want to know what Bella thinks. Also no one has guessed the two surprise visitors correctly. And for those of you who know you can't say. Not that I'm saying who knows Cough Lady G cough cough but if you know who it is don't say it.
