I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for making you all wait just didn't have the feeling to write for awhile but I'm back now and I hope this next chapter is to all your likings.
CHARLIE
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" Charlies voice was anything but happy as he stood up from the couch looking at the three, but mostly his daughter. Arms crossed over his chest and the disappointment obvious in his eyes. They were all suspended and no less fighting at school of all things. Shaking his head he let out a breath before slowly turning to Billy, laying a hand on his shoulder partly to calm himself and partly to offer a little comfort to his best friend.
"Billy Isabella and I are going to go home. Thank you for the afternoon but I think right now my daughter and I are going to be having a talk. "
Looking back at the three who had yet to move from the door, seeing them all still wearing that 'oh shit were caught' look before pointing out the door. "Get in the car...now."
The tone in his voice didn't leave any room for arguing and he let her leave first noting how she wouldn't even look him in the eye. Walking past Jacob and Embry with obvious disappointment. The screen door slamming shut as he followed her to the squad car. Still not saying a word and he knew she would know what that meant, he was waiting till they were at home. He didn't like making a scene with others around that didn't involve them. Starting the car and backed out of the drive before tearing out onto the street back to Forks.
BELLA
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" Hearing him call me by my full name as we stepped back into the Black's house had me tensing up and slightly shaking some. Standing between Jacob and Embry although looking straight down at the ground, biting on my lip as my father spoke to Billy. Hearing him use Isabella and my daughter was cutting me deep since I know he was very, very disappointed in me. Charlie rarely got upset with me like this and I couldn't believe what I did. Sure we had a very good reason, but I doubted either father would see it that way now. Billy looked just as disappointed as Charlie and I silently wished I had someone with me to face Charlie. This wasn't going to be pleasant at all and I couldn't help but to jump as he said to get in the car. Not even hesitating as I turned and walked out of the house.
My eyes stayed down even when he got in and turned it on, not even wanting to look up to see the disappointment still in his eyes. I knew what we did was wrong, but at the same time it helped all of us too. So after a few minutes I finally broke the silence of course after going over and over it in my head.
"I know you upset with me, but Jacob and Embry were trying to help. After what Jessica said, claiming I was doing both Jake and Emby just because they were taking me to and from school. Something about there was nothing special about me being the Chief's daughter I wasn't some...I can't even remember."
My eyes were still down staring at my lap while I spoke, scared to look up wanting to wrap my arms around me again, but fought the urge. Instead just sucked in another breath and waited.
"Bella, I don't care what someone says let them believe what they want obviously their too stupid to open then eyes instead of their mouth. Besides Jessica if its the Jessica I am thinking isn't worth another thought baby. She walks around town like she is all perfect, but I won't tell you how many calls me and the guys have gotten about her and those so called friends. Or how often I have come across them in public in very...awkward situation."
As he spoke I let my eyes close, but finally managed to look over slowly at him. Although hearing about Jessica from him was helping some and gave a light nod trying to not smirk about the last part. Can't imagine how dad or the guys felt catching a student my age in those kinds of situations.
"Bella I know with your past things will upset you alot more and while I don't approve of what transpired at school. It serves Jessica right to be taken down a few pegs and I'm glad Jake and Embry were trying to protect you. Just next time let her get in trouble so she is suspended not you three."
"Alright Charlie I promise to try..."
It was quite the rest of the way home but I did feel better knowing he wasn't too upset. But still I needed to try and remember his words and hope Jessica after this stayed away. Yet something inside said she wasn't one to let being suspended go and I was going to be hearing about it.
BILLY
As Charlie and Bella left I turned towards my sons and than motioned to the couch, the look on my face should of told them enough that I wasn't happy. They both were suspended something that never happened on the Rez, but I could maybe see it happening. Given what the Principle said and what I heard from Charlie about this Jessica. As they walked in and sat down I moved slowly towards them and waited.
"Dad, I'm sorry but if you heard what Jessica was saying about Bella, us I just couldn't take it. After all the crap Bella went through before coming here and if you saw how it was effecting her. It just set something off in me and I was unable to hold back. Besides its not like I hit her, she was just wearing her lunch all over her."
As Jacob spoke I let my eyes fall to my son and nodded some, letting out a breath given he had a point. Bella had come here to get away from this kind of crap and granted it was words I can only imagine how she took it. Shaking my head some I thought about it for a moment glancing towards Embry who was letting Jacob talk mostly. Tilting my head some although as he looked up I remained quiet.
"Like Jacob said dad we just didn't like the look on Bella's face, and after what you told us happen to her although I know it isn't an excuse. And since we have you here me and Jake need to discuss something else with you. It concerns Bella, but well its not bad at least we don't think so."
Listening to Embry I couldn't help but to raise a brow wondering what this was all about and he had mentioned it involved Bella so that had my attention. I nodded glancing to Jacob who seemed to be thinking as he was looking down for the moment. So I took the moment to try and think of what this could be about and honestly was coming up blank. Embry said it involved them and Bella and he didn't think it was bad which really didn't leave much. I knew neither boy would do anything stupid like sleep with her and I doubted Bella was even ready to have a boyfriend.
EMBRY
When Charlie and Bella left me and Jake were still standing by the door till Billy motioned to the couch and we than moved without a word over and sat down. I wasn't sure how much trouble we were in or just what all he heard. But judging how he and Charlie were acting it was enough. My thoughts were lingering on Bella and praying Charlie didn't lay into her to hard. Really she hadn't done anything wrong, but leave school. It was the rest of us who told off Jessica and Jake dumping her lunch on her. That was still so damn priceless. Catching Jacob talking I finally looked up towards Billy than Jacob but remained quiet letting him do the talking I was never good at this kind of thing.
"Like Jacob said dad we just didn't like the look on Bella's face, and after what you told us happen to her although I know it isn't an excuse. And since we have you here me and Jake need to discuss something else with you. It concerns Bella, but well its not bad at least we don't think so."
My voice was low and I glanced to Jacob but we both said dad would be able to help and possible would understand so. So I figured now was a good as time as any now I just had to figure out just what to say. It was a little hard for me to explain something like this especially to Billy. A sigh escapes through my lips and I finally decided to explain, Jake could fill in the blanks if I leave anything out.
"It seems that me and Jake have feels for Bella and while normally we would be jealous neither of us is upset or angry by the other. It's like we both would do anything for her no matter what just to keep her safe. I mean when you told us the other day about her past and the bruises something in me snapped and I knew right than I wouldn't allow another man to hurt her ever again. Jake said he felt the same way. We can't explain it dad its not like me and Bri or Jake and Mika these feelings go deeper than anything I've ever felt for anyone."
That was all I had really to say right now and sat back looking at the floor not wanting to see the odd look no doubt on dad's face, but instead waited to see or rather hear what would come next.
"Em pretty much said it all dad, can you explain to us what is happening. I mean we hardly know Bella now it's been so long yet...yet we want to protect her and in some ways it's...love."
Hearing Jake I turned towards him a moment and at first would of argued with him but when I thought about it he was right. It was protection, but stronger still it was love. We both were truly in love with this girl. Bella.
JACOB
Man walking into the house and hearing dad ask that question boy did I not expect him to find out that fast. It was like we were all that deer stuck in the headlights. I mean me, Bella, and Embry just stood in the doorway pale and probably all thinking the same thing. 'Shit we are so gonna get it.' And than hearing Charlie before he mad Bella leave, all I wanted to do was to run after them and keep her safe. Yet at the same time knew Charlie wouldn't hurt her like the others, but still it was like I couldn't shake the need to protect her. Sighing some Em and me saw dad motion to the bed so we moved to it and waited for what was coming. Although the look alone was bad enough and I couldn't stand it.
"Dad, I'm sorry but if you heard what Jessica was saying about Bella, us I just couldn't take it. After all the crap Bella went through before coming here and if you saw how it was effecting her. It just set something off in me and I was unable to hold back. Besides its not like I hit her, she was just wearing her lunch all over her."
Seeing the nod was a little more reassuring at least. Though I was surprised dad wasn't yelling at us not that he really yells, he just has to give you that look and you know its bad. Funny how parents find ways to scare the sense of dread in their child different ways. But than Embry started again and when he brought up that we needed to ask dad something I let out a faint sigh hoping at least one thing could be cleared up for us right now. So I listened as Embry explained and well he about had it in his explanation. Although the mention of Mika made me want to throw-up than Bella suddenly came to my thoughts and it helped some.
"Em pretty much said it all dad, can you explain to us what is happening. I mean we hardly know Bella now it's been so long yet...yet we want to protect her and in some ways it's...love."
That was what I felt, it was love for Bella it was this burning, pulsating love that wrapped around my soul and made me want to do anything for her. Smiling some right now didn't care so much about what this was happening to us. But hearing dad move got my attention and I looked up to see his eyes looking rather wide, me and Em suddenly sharing a look wondering if this bad.
"Imprinted..." A single word is all he spoke before vanishing down the hallway to his room leaving us to sit and wonder what he meant.
