A/N: Okay sorry this took so long but this story is getting hard to write, but w/e. Anyways thanks to the three people who reviewed to my last chapter TwilightParamoreObsessor, ificanthavejasperiwilltakeseth, eddieluver, thanks for the reviews!
Charlie was getting stricter, he didn't like that I was spending so much time at the Cullen's. It was worrying him, he was always wondering why I spent so much time there but he wasn't too worried because he thought it was because I was spending time with Alice. As far as Charlie knows Edward has 'died' and he thinks that I'm taking it hard. Oh well, but now he was wanting to spend more time with me. "Hey Bells, let's go out for lunch," Charlie decided one day. It was summer so I didn't have to be at school, and I didn't want to ditch Charlie in the morning seeing as I knew he was already confused and hurt that I wasn't around that much so I usually waited till the afternoon.
"Um, sure Ch-Dad, let's go," I said hoping that I would be able to not eat; human food was disgusting I mean how do they even eat it. We drove there in Charlie's police car and sat at a table near the window. I mentally breathed a sigh of relief that it wouldn't be sunny today and I wouldn't have to worry about that.
"Hey what can I get you?" a waitress asked as she came to our table. Charlie order something but I didn't really pay attention because I was watching outside, I thought I saw movement in the trees but disregarded it to imagination.
"-and you?" she asked all of a sudden and I realized she was now talking to me.
"Oh, nothing for me thank you," I quickly waved her off and she looked puzzled but walked off to her next table either way.
"Bella, I've been noticing that you don't exactly eat," Charlie started but I cut him off.
"Charlie, I eat. Don't worry I don't have an eating disorder I'm healthy," I assured him. It's true, I do eat –Just not what humans would eat –and I am healthy –for a vampire –so I wasn't lying.
"But Bells I haven't seen you eat since you got here," he persisted.
"I eat a lot at school, and I just have different eating schedule than you do and I prefer it more," I tried. I guess that was sort of true seeing as I did have a different eating schedule, it was way further apart between eating. His food arrived at this point and we fell into a comfortable silence and I looked back out the window my mind drifting off to other things. I thought about Edward, I hadn't seen him in a while. The past couple of days Charlie wanted to spend quality father daughter time so I haven't gotten over there. And for the past couple of weeks I've only gotten over there for a couple of hours before having to come back home. Come to think of it Edward and I haven't been hunting in a long time. I'm sure Carlisle or Esme have been reminding him to go or going out with him, they wouldn't get that sidetracked.
"Bella, earth to Bella!" I just noticed Charlie had been calling me. I looked over to him shocked that I had been thinking for so long. "It's time to go," he told me once he was sure that he had my attention once more. I nodded and we left, I didn't even notice that he already paid for his food. We got back to the house and I looked at the time to see we had been there longer than I expected, it was now 2.
"Um, Charlie, Can I go over to Alice's?" I asked using Alice's name because I knew that he liked her.
"Sure, what time will you be back?" he asked and I shrugged before I remembered that he was in a different room.
"I'm not sure, I'll call," I assured him before I ran out to my car and drove over to the house that was practically my second home. Once I got there I heard a strange noise coming from upstairs. It sort of sounded like muffled screaming or something; I ran up to the door and found Alice sitting on the porch looking troubled. "Alice, what's going on?" I asked her and she looked up at my voice.
"I'm just waiting for Jasper to come pick me up, Esme suggested that I may want to get out of the house. You can go right in," she mumbled not looking her usually happy self. She looked troubled as I said and I noticed that every once in a while her face would go blank like she was having a vision. Seeing she probably wasn't going to tell me anymore I just went inside as I had been told to and found Carlisle on the phone.
"Yes, that's correct. Emmett has decided to go see his biological parents for a couple years and he won't be in school. Okay," I caught from the conversation. What, did that mean Emmett was going somewhere. Rosalie wouldn't be very happy about that, did she know about this? As I walked further into the house I caught sight of Edward and Esme sitting in the living room.
"Edward, it wasn't your fault. We should have been more careful," I heard Esme tell him.
"It is my fault thought Esme, I should have gone sooner," Edward responded looking like he was drowning in guilt. I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't even know what happened, and it hurt to see him so miserable.
"You're still young Edward, you don't have the best self control," did that mean he had something to do with the strange noise coming from upstairs. Edward just shook his head as if he wouldn't let her make him feel better. Esme sighed in frustration and looked around and saw me standing in the doorway. She brightened up right away and whispered to Edward she'd be right back and came over pulling me to the side.
"Edward is feeling really upset," she whispered low enough that Edward would have trouble hearing.
"I gathered that, but why? What's going on?" I asked her in the same tone and volume.
"He accidently bit Emmett, we've been busy and forgot about having to get Edward out hunting, Alice was hiding in her room, and Emmett was running around, I was out in the garden and Carlisle was at the hospital, do the math," she told me showing an apologetic smile. I didn't know why she was apologizing to me but I nodded still absorbing the information.
"Is that what the strange sound upstairs it?" I asked almost forgetting to keep quiet.
"Yes, Emmett is changing," she responded and grimaced showing how bad she felt.
