Edward hadn't opened up much about the details of his and James' past hatred. But I was a little bit thankful for that. I didn't need to know the gory details. I laid on Edwards bed with only a sheet covering my ass and Edward drawing on m back.

"If a tattoo was this painless I might actually get one."

"The back can be painful. But you don't have to get one there first. Start with something you really want. Something that means something to you."

"Do all yours mean something to you?"

"Yup, or they meant something more at some point. There are ones that I will cover up but for the most part I can tell you what each one means to me. Done." I stood up keeping the sheet with me and went to the mirror. It was beautiful. The man was good! I had told him once that I loved watching the stars at night so up the right side of my back was many stars. Some small some big but it was what he added to make it his own that made me love it. The small music notes to the the saying 'Music is what life sounds like' wrapped into it. I didn't even miss the small EC that was placed in the bottom star that sat on my spine above me ass.

"I want it."

"What?" He said laying back against the bed.

"I want this. Like as a tattoo. Exactly like this." He seemed to be in shock.

"Bella, that's gonna hurt like hell."

"I know. But I want it. How much?" He laughed.

"I would never charge you for something. Neither would Em. The shop is closed today. So if you want we can go down and get started. I just need to take a picture of it."

Four hours later and lots of pain I was finally done. We had taken a few breaks but I wanted it done so we didn't take many. Edward was cleaning up when the door opened.

"Hey what are you guys doin' down here?" Emmett asked as he walked in hand in hand with Rose.

"Your sister wanted a tattoo." Edward answered nervously. I had to smile, it was really cute that he was nervous.

"Let me see." Emmett's giddy response was enough to put Edward at ease. I turned and lifted the loose tank top I had been wearing over my head. I was thankful then that I had decided to wear a bathing suit top since we were going to be in the shop.

"Holy shit that is hot girl!" Rose answered first.

"You branded her." Emmett said. Edward had said he would leave the initials out but I wanted them there. I wanted to show everyone I had an original piece done by him. I grabbed the original picture to show Emmett hoping he would understand that was why they were there. "Are you naked in this?" He gasped.

"No! Well I didn't have a shirt on but after he was done drawing it I decided I wanted it for real. So he took a picture and we came down here." Emmett nodded in acceptance but Rose gave me a weird look. I really needed to stop slipping up in front of her. I had a feeling she has assumed something since the night of the beach party but was to scared to ask.

Alice had told me not to worry. She said that Emmett was one of the more accepting ones of her and Jasper's relationship so she didn't see why he would care so much about Edward and I.

"I can't believe you got a tattoo. I thought I would have to beg you to get one." Emmett joked as I sat done at the computer uploading the before and after pictures to Edwards folder on their facebook page.

"Edward said that I should get something that meant something to me. Something that was important so I wouldn't regret it later on." I said without really thinking. Another weird look from Rose and I knew I said to much again. "I've always enjoyed the stars and music is my way of dancing so I would be lost without it." I tried covering my tracks. Edward didn't look at me and Rose just stared. Emmett didn't seem to notice a thing.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that anyone spoke again. "Closed!" Emmett shouted but again the person knocked. Emmett walked to the front door opening it to say that we were closed again but nothing came out. He just stood there.

"Em, you all right?" I asked and Rose look confused. Edward stopped what he was doing to watch as well.

"What the hell are you doing here?" His voice was in a deep growl and he sounded like he was ready to kill who ever the person was.

"I'm here for my daughter." I snapped my head to Rose and Edward and I felt scared. Not that my Dad would hurt me but scared because I knew this is exactly where I wanted to be. I didn't want to leave the only place I felt at home. "Your corrupting her. Don't think I haven't seen the pictures and videos online. How could you be so irresponsible?" Charlie yelled. I winced. Edward came to my side at the same time Rose moved to stand in front of me, like she was protecting me or something.

"I'm irresponsible? You kicked her out with nothing! So no you can't come here to collect her. But if she wants to speak to you that is up to her." I turned around from where I had hiding my face in Edwards chest.

"What the hell was that on your back, young lady?" I didn't say anything. I hadn't put the tank top back on so when Emmett had moved to let Charlie enter, he had a full view of the new ink.

"Its what you call running your on life dear father. But then again you wouldn't know anything about that because anyone in your life doesn't have control of their own now do they."

"Shut your mouth boy!" Emmett just laugh and went to Roses side as he gave me a questioning look. Edward still had his arm around me but at that moment I didn't care who knew. I just needed him. "And who might this be?" He said sneering at Edward. "Another good for nothing boy who is another disappointment to his own parents?" I felt Edwards arm tighten.

"Dad stop it! What are you even doing here?"

"I came to get you and make you see sense. Your ruining your life. I honestly didn't think you would go this far. I thought you would just go to one of your friends houses for a few days. Took me a while to track you down seeing as you used cash to get here after awhile. But then I ran in to Jacob and he asked how you were liking Florida. That's where I got a buddy to get into your Facebook account."

"Well you can tell him I am enjoying my time just fine. I actually just applied for college. Major in business management and minoring in dance." I smirked at the shocked looks on everyone's faces. It was Edward who convinced me to do it. Even though he never out right said anything about it all. He was the one that gave me the idea. "Maybe I can open a dance studio when I graduate." Emmett was grinning from ear to ear. My Dad on the other hand look like he was about to explode.
