Hey guys I hope it is up at your standards cause its not to mine. Just to clear some things up Alice isn't related to Edward if you were thinking that (nobody has met her that will come later), also Edward is nervous about telling Bella how he really feels. He thinks she likes Jasper. Let's just wait to see what happens and I promise you this will get better. Oh one more thing. This chapter will more then likely be just Bella's Point of View. Thanks
Chapter 3
Bpov
The day went by pretty quickly, Edward and I were best friends again by 2nd period which was good for both of us because we needed to have partners in ELA and Jessica and Mike came running. Sucks for them, goodness maybe if she could quick talking so much she could get a boyfriend. Mike he is just so pitiful, he could get a lot of girls but he goes for the one who doesn't want him. Hate to sound me but this is how I feel. After they left moping I needed to speak with Edward.
"Hey before I go over to your house could you pick me up from my house and take me to visit Charlie I haven't seen him in two days?"
"Yeah, you know I would do anything for you." Edward said looking down shyly
'Uh that's a bit weird but cute, I love Edward. Oh crap what did I just say in my head? I need to stop thinking to myself. Oh wait I'm still looking at him turn and smile god Bella!' I kept my head down the rest of the day blushing. Come on school be over!
"YES!" I yelled as the bell rang for gym to be over, I ran to my red truck and raced (in the speed limits) to my house. When I got there I went inside to grab some things Charlie might want, even though he had most of the contents with him. Then I knew what I could bring him, some cookies! I got right on that making them chocolate chip because I knew that Charlie loved those when he was at home. I looked at the clock and it said 5, he would be coming in soon put his gun up and go watch the game till I was done with dinner. The door opened and I heard somebody walk in, I got extremely happy but my smile just dropped a bit when I saw Edward walk in to the kitchen.
"Are you ready yet Bella?" He smiled a little bit of sadness flamed through his words probably at my expression, and even maybe at the tears that fell when he wasn't Charlie.
"Let me put these cookies on a plate and wrap them up for him and we can head over." I grabbed the spatula and got to work but only to be stopped once I started by Edward wiping my face. I looked at him and smiled a bit weakly he ment so much to me and I wish I could explain it but I didn't. Charlie needed me right now and we had to go before he went to sleep. So I finished up the plate and rushed us outside so we could get there quickly.
Edward pulled into the hospital parking lot and looked over at me worried; I grabbed the cookie plate and looked at him.
"I'm fine come on." I got out of the car and fast walked to the hospital, halfway there I found Edward's hand in my own and gave him a little squeeze. I thought it was funny me comforting him when it should be the other way around. We got the elevator and went up to the 2nd floor. I bounced on my heels extremely scared at how he was going to look. How much had the cancer taken since two days ago? Was he the same or was he on the edge? 6-8 months was what they gave us, this is month 7 how long did he have? All the questions shot across my mind in the 5 seconds we were in the elevator. Then the doors opened to the lobby I typically ran down to his door but composed myself before I walked in where I remembered that I had Edward attached to me by his hand. I smiled and lightly squeezed again but this time it was for me not him. He looked down at me and nodded. So I opened his door and walked in knowing that my best friend was here with me for help.
"Dang Charlie you look like shit." I said as soon as I saw him. Just as I had thought the cancer was beginning to take over but not like I had though it was going horribly fast. I placed the cookies on his bed side table, let go of Edward which made this more difficult and went down for a hug. He didn't really move to hug back but I knew he wanted to.
"Thank you for the cookies Bells, Hello Edward." My dad said a bit out of breath.
"Hello sir." Edward said and backed up so my dad and I could talk a bit.
"I miss you at home." I said with a tear falling down my right cheek.
"I miss being at home, and eating your dinners instead of this stuff." He said pointing to the meal he place on the table. The food was barely touched and it hurt that he wouldn't eat.
"You're not going to get better if you don't eat Charlie." I got a little mad telling him the same thing I did every time I came to visit.
"I know I know bells but I can't swallow without it hurting like crazy. The sores are screwing everything up." he said so helplessly and he seemed like he was about to drift off to sleep. "Bella I'm extremely tired the chemo is killing my sleep schedule. Could you come back another day?" He said and smiled.
"Yes I will don't worry and get some sleep." I kissed the top of his head and turned before walking out the door, it looked like he was trying to tell Edward something. "Bye dad, get better." I smiled one last time and walked outside waiting for Edward to come out of the room after me but it took longer then I expected. All of the sudden it started getting a little hard to be in here so I left and walked outside where it was windy and raining. I let the wind blow my hair across my face and wash my mind of the thing I just saw. A hand was placed on my shoulder and I looked to find Edward standing behind me. I started to cry and he took me in his arms and held me for a while. He stroked my hair and tried calming down. I finally gained control and looked at him before I took his hand and walked to his car.
"And now we need to head over to your house before Jazzy poo wonders where we are." I said joking around. I saw Edward roll his eyes at that comment.
"Ok we'll be there in like two minutes." He said monotone. I looked at him with confused facials plastered on my head.
"What Is wrong Edward? Why have you been like this?" We pulled into his house and he turned off the car to look at me.
"I can't figure out who you want! Jasper or me!" He said harshly it hurt I wish that I could tell him but he walked out of the car and towards the house that towered over us.
"Hey guys what took you so long?" Jasper asked looking at me.
"We were visiting somebody, sorry we lost track of the time Jasper. I really forgot about coming here." I said which made HIM mad! Ugh what is wrong with boys do they think I just lie!? I tell the truth most of the time, but that didn't stop Jasper from leaving. He walked right passed us with such anger that I thought he absorbed some of it from Edward. I just stared at him with my mouth glued open already and watched him storm to his car. I was distracted from Jasper driving away by my phone ringing.
"Hello?" Jaspers headlights and backlights weren't visible in the night anymore.
"Hello is this Isabella swan?" Why was jasper so mad? Oh and Edward?
"Yes but please its Bella. Is there a problem?" This call was making me nervous.
"Bella, your father Charlie Swan has just passed away in his sleep. I can promise you he isn't hurting anymore and that he was extremely happy you were there to visit him." My breathing started getting heavier, my vision a bit blurred. "Bella? Isabella? Ms.Swan are you there?" I couldn't breathe, let alone talk. Edward came to my rescue though and grabbed the phone and told them I was fine and that we would find out what to do. I just sat there, he can't be dead. I just brought him cookies; his birthday was two weeks ago. No it's not real. This is just a joke; yeah somebody is pulling a dumb joke on me because they found out about Charlie.
"Bella, you're staying over here tonight ok? I can't leave you alone, not now, not ever." Edward said wrapping me in his arms. I just let my tears loose into his shirt. He lifted me up still in the ball against his chest and took me to his room. I was put on his couch and he ran to get me his tissue box. He put the box beside me and sat down bringing me on top of his lap trying to soothe me with words. But words weren't want I needed right now, I needed Charlie to come to this house and pick me up in his police cruiser.
"Edward, how. i-is he gone?" I stuttered through my heavy breathing and waterfall like tears.
"Bella you know how, he had cancer and it was just too much." He said quietly and a bit sad like too. I looked up at his face and wiped his tears with my hand even though mine were still flowing. I traced the marks of water I left on his shirt and then out of no where took of his shirt and threw it to the ground. I then cuddled up to Edward who accepted me for me and was there when I needed him, like now.
