Chapter 5
BPOV
I woke up the next morning to someone kissing my neck. I wiped my eyes and opened them to 2 liquid pools of topaz.
"Morning," I said.
"Morning, beautiful," Edward said.
"Where's Charlie?" I asked.
"Eating breakfast. You need to tell him. I'm going to come over with Alice and 'return from LA because we didn't like it there,'" Edward said.
"Okay. How long will you be?" I asked.
"About 20 minutes. Bella, you need to prepare to tell Charlie about Mike. You're going to tell him that Alice found your bruises when she came over last night, Alice told me, and I came to see the damage and to kick Mike to hell," Edward said.
"So, I'll be seeing you for the 1st time in 6 months, but we're already back together?" I asked.
"Yeah. I called you last night, and we talked it out. Alice left to come greet us at the airport," Edward said.
"Okay, well, I'm going to get dressed," I said getting up. I jumped out of bed and went to my closet. I got a blue, long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. I laid them on my bed and turned to Edward.
"I'll see you in 20 minutes," he said.
"Okay," I said. I leaned up and kissed him before he ducked out the window. I got dressed and went downstairs. Charlie was at the table, eating.
"Morning, Bells," he said.
"Morning. Dad, there's something you need to know," I said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Alice Cullen came over last night when you were working," I said.
"Oh, how's Alice doing?" Charlie asked.
"She's doing good. She said they're all moving back to Forks because they hated LA," I said.
"All of them?" Charlie asked.
"All of them," I confirmed.
"So what's going to happen? Is he going to get back with you and then you get your heart broken again?" Charlie asked.
"No. We're getting back together, but I'm not going to get my heart broken," I said.
"Bella," Charlie sighed.
"Dad, it was all a mistake. He didn't want to leave me! He was miserable," I said.
"Bella! He left you in a forest!" Charlie said.
"No he didn't! I wandered in there myself! You don't know what he went through! He couldn't even stand to be around his own family! He had to live with….Esme's sister, he was so miserable!" I lied about Esme's sister, but him not being around his family was the truth.
"He what?" Charlie asked. He sounded shocked.
"You heard me," I said.
Charlie was fixing to say something, but there was a knock at the door. I went to answer it. Not 2 Cullens were there, but all 7 of them.
"Bella!" Esme said. She wrapped me in a hug. I hugged her back so tightly. I missed this woman.
"Bella," Carlisle said, hugging me.
"Bellsy!" Emmett boomed. He caught me in a big bear hug.
"Can't…….breathe!" I gasped out.
He laughed and sat me down. Jasper came over and hugged me. It shocked me, but I hugged him back.
"I missed you, Bells," he said.
"I missed you, too," I said.
Next was Rosalie. She smiled and hugged me. Everyone gasped, including me.
"What?! I can't miss my sister?" Rosalie asked. We all laughed.
"Nice to see you again, Bella," Alice said.
I hugged her and giggled with her.
Then there was Edward. I gave him a huge hug. By this time, Charlie had already came to the door.
"Hello, Charlie," Carlisle said.
"Carlisle. So, LA not all that it's cracked up to be?" Charlie asked.
"No. It's too sunny," Carlisle said. We all laughed at the inside joke, except Charlie, who thought he meant that they missed the rain.
"Well, come on in guys," I said as they all came in. I closed the door.
"So, you're all back for good?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah. Not only was LA too sunny, we all missed Bella. She makes our family complete. We weren't a family without her," Esme said. I smiled at her. She smiled back.
"So, how did Bella know you all were coming back?" Charlie asked.
"Alice came over last night while you were working. Remember? I just told you," I said.
"Oh, yeah. That's right. Wait, I thought you were going to the movies with Mike," Charlie said. Everyone stiffened. All the Cullens glared at nothing. I guess Alice or Edward already told them.
"Dad, I never did and never will date that piece of trash," I said.
"Bella, don't be mean to the kid," Charlie said.
"No, I have every right to!" I said.
"If I see that boy, he's going down," Emmett said.
"Got that right," Jasper said.
"Ha! If you get to him first! I would have already pumbled him to nothing by the time you saw him," Edward said.
"Okay. Why are you all talking about murdering Mike Newton?" Charlie asked.
"Show him, Bella. Show him what that bastard did to you," Alice said. Charlie looked at me. I sighed and pulled up my sleeves. I heard Charlie gasp. I continued with my shirt and jeans. Then I looked at Charlie. His face was purple. I hid behind Edward, incase he was going to explode. He finally turned normal color after about 2 minutes.
"He did that?" Charlie asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Why didn't you tell me, Bella?" Charlie asked.
"He told me if I did, he would hurt me worse. I was scared," I said.
"Honey, you don't have to be scared of telling me," Charlie said. I nodded.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. I went to get it after fixing my clothes, but Emmett beat me there.
"No, sister dearest. I'll get it," he said. He went to the door.
"COME HERE, BOY!" he boomed. He sounded like an old man screaming at a teenager who just egged their house. He pulled someone in and closed the door. It was Mike Newton, who had flowers in his hand.
"How dare you!" I screamed. I started marching over to him, but Edward held me back.
"Bella, please take me back. I love you! Why choose him over me? I won't leave you!" Mike said.
"But you'll beat the hell out of me," I said.
"Excuse me? What are you talking about?" he asked, playing dumb.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" I said walking over to him. Edward let me go. "They know, Mike. You're going to jail, and not getting out of it. Now, it's time for a little payback," I said. I was standing in front of him now. Emmett was holding him down for me. "This," I slapped him across his face, leaving a red mark and possible a bruise, "is for all those many times you made me kiss you. Your breath was disgusting. It smelled like garbage! And this," I punched him in his jaw, "is for all the bruises you left on me. And this," I ripped out a handful of his hair, "is for the many times you drug me around on my hair. And this," I took his wrist and bent it back as he screamed in pain, "is for stepping on my wrist and breaking it. And finally this," I kicked him in the groin, "is for……well….everything else," I finished.
Edward then pulled me away as Charlie put handcuffs on Mike.
"If anyone asks, I was in the bathroom when all this happened," Charlie said as he lead Mike to his cruiser. We laughed as he drove Mike down to the station.
