Chapter 4: Charlie's Chat
Bella's POV
Great, just great. He already hates Edward. This is just going to add to it. Ugh! I cannot believe this!
Charlie and I were riding home and he was being his usual quiet self the entire time. Probably planning what he was going to do to me. Too bad I can't read minds.
We pulled into the driveway and got out wordlessly. When we got in the house Charlie walked to the kitchen so I tried to escape upstairs to my room.
"Not so fast." Charlie said, "Don't think you're getting off that easily."
I stood at the bottom of the steps waiting for him to ground me for a week.

Saved by the bell! Or phone……whew!
"Hello?" Charlie said into the phone. I strained to hear who it was.
"Oh! Um….well…how are you?" Charlie spluttered.
"Right, right, of course" he paused, "Mmhmm….well I was just going to tell Bella that she would not be able to see Edward for at least two weeks until she's ready to think about her choices."
Thank god! It was probably Carlisle. I'm going to have to have to thank him…………
"Ok, well I guess I can allow her to do that"
Maybe I'm getting off easy!
"Ok, well good talking to you," Charlie replied, "Thank you. Goodbye." He hung up the phone and walked back to where I was waiting.
"That was Carlisle." He stated.
"Oh!" I pretended to be surprised, "What did he say?"
"He is taking away Edward's driving privileges for an entire month and he has asked me if it would be okay if you could drive him to and from school for the time being."
"And you said?"
"That I would allow it as long as Edward has learned his lesson and Carlisle has assured me that he has."
"That's good," I replied, "So does that mean I can go upstairs now?"
"I guess……but you are only driving Edward to and from school. That's all! And you will stay home for a month as well, just as he has his driving rights taken away."
Hmph. "Fine." I told him and walked upstairs. I didn't want him to get any joy from my grounding.
"Isabella Marie Swan! You will be down here in half an hour to make dinner too!" He screamed up the stairs.
Well duh I was going to be downstairs. You can't even make yourself a frozen dinner. How else was I going to eat? Geez, he can be such an idiot.

Note: I know they are on Spring Break but Bella driving him to school will happen after they're off. It probably doesn't make sense but hopefully it will in the next couple chapters. Also, next chapter is going to be kinda hard to write……so sorry if it takes a while to update (I also have a lot of stuff to do for school).
