Chapter 3
I knew as soon as I saw his face I was in trouble. Charlie was standing in the doorway with his face red with fury. His vein at the top of his forehead was popping so I presumed Carlisle rang ahead and told him I was on my way with Edward. I hope Charlie didn't give him any grief Carlisle was only being nice as he always is.
I snapped back into reality when the car came to a stop. I froze. I didn't know what was going to happen as soon as I stepped out of the car. I then heard him ever so gently whisper in my ear
'Everything is going to be alright Bella!'
It made my knees buckle. His voice, his face, his presence that had been missing from my life for the past 6 months is right in front of me again. I looked at him and nodded. I took a deep breath and looked out the window to see Charlie waiting impatiently shifting his weight from one leg to the other. I reached out and took grip of the door handle and opened it. I slid off Edwards lap and got out of the car. As soon as my feet touched the ground Charlie came charging at me whilst screaming.
'Where have you been?? I have been worried sick!' he screamed
'Dad Please, can we not talk about this in the morning?' I pleaded with no effect.
'Your damn right we're going to talk about this, you have been gone for three whole days with no contact!' he screamed.
I hadn't realised that I had been gone that long it went by so quick. I started to calculate everything that happened and try and fit them into three days. I began to sway with the tiredness I was ready to collapse. It was only then that I realised that Edward was standing behind me this whole time. I felt a cold hand wrap around my arm and it steadied me. This didn't go down very well with Charlie. As soon as he saw him touching me in the slightest way he cracked! I think his voice reached a new octave right about then.
'GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER NOW!' he yelled so loud it made the windows in the house vibrate.
I didn't respond, I just couldn't I was too tired. It wasn't until I heard Edwards gentle voice that I woke up.
'Please Charlie, just let me get her up to bed' asked Edward politely.
'No! I can handle it myself thank you very much' said Charlie with a tone of annoyance.
I started to feel tugging on my other arm and could only assume that it was Charlie trying to release me from Edwards grasp. Edwards hand didn't budge. I needed to think everything through. I needed to think about everything when I wasn't going to forget everything as soon as I woke up. I needed……..Time…….. I could still feel Charlie tugging on me and he wasn't about to give up. I had to make Edward leave before he broke my heart again. I cant face that feeling of numbness when he decides to leave whether its tonight or tomorrow. I cant face that pain I felt when he told me he didn't want me to go with him, that pain I felt when those words hit my heart like a ton of bricks him telling me he didn't love me anymore.
'Stop please!' I said groggily
I turned to Edward and looked at him. He was staring at me. It was at these tender moments that I could tell he wanted to read my mind. I was happy he couldn't. He then couldn't hear my unsurity and fear all at the same time. It wad times like these that I loved he couldn't read my mind.
'Edward I think you should go home' I said
I regretted those words immediately because I could see the hurt reach his face as soon as I said them.
'Bella…..I……' he stuttered.
'You heard her now get going before I get my gun' said Charlie satisfied by me sending him away.
Tears formed in my eyes. It killed me to have to say these words to hurt him like this.
'Please Edward, I'll talk with you later' I said reassuringly.
I tried to keep my tears from falling. He seemed to lighten up as I said it but I could still see the sadness in his eyes. I leaned over and placed my hand on his cheek.
'I promise' I whispered.
I leaned in and kissed him ever so lightly on the cheek where my hand was resting. When I placed my feet firmly on the ground again his eyes were closed. After what seemed like hours he opened them and showed me that grin I longed to see as soon as it was gone. I turned towards the house and with Charlie's help made my way up to my bedroom. I didn't even bother to change into my pyjamas I just plonked onto the bed. The last thing I heard Charlie murmer to himself
'I'm glad you've seen sense Bells'
I wasn't in the mood to argue with him so I grunted. I drifted off to sleep with the past couple of days running through my mind thinking they were all a dream. did Alice really come home? Did I really go to Italy? Did I actually leave Jacob in my garden near enough to tears? It was all really a blur. My whole life changed so quickly after my party ,was it about to change again? If it is will it change for the good or the bad? As I drifted into a deeper sleep all those thoughts seemed to disappear. I tossed and turned but never woke. I think its been the first night in a while that I hadn't dreamt it was just black.
After what seemed like only a few minutes even seconds. I felt something boiling hot wrap around my hand and only one person came to mind. It took me awhile to open mt eyes but when I did it was dark outside my window. There was a dark figure sitting beside me. It was Jacob. As my eyes focused I could see him staring at me with concern.
'Jacob I'm sorry for leaving like that!' I said but my voice was a bit croaky from sleeping with it open.
It took him awhile to respond.
'Your going back to him aren't you' he whispered.
I didn't know what to say because I wasn't sure if Edward was still in the country let alone was he staying in Forks.
'I wont be able to keep my promise if you do Bella' he explained as he stood up and headed towards the window. Before I knew it he was gone and I was back sleeping and not dreaming….
