Chapter Six
Were pulling up towards my house and the lights are on, a quick look at the clock shows that its only 6:15.
"I'll be in your room" Edward says quietly and then he's gone.
Slowly I get out of the car and take my time walking up to the house. Just as I reach the steps to the porch, the door fly's open and my mother comes running out and pulls me into the house by my ear. That stuff hurts.
"Ow, ow. Stop you're hurting me mum" I say and push her off me when we got into the house.
3…
2…
1…
"WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING BELLA CHARLES BLACK! YOU CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY FROM ME WHEN IT GETS TO HARD TO HANDLE!" she yells at me.
I'm holding back everything in me not to yell back and tell her what I really think and that doesn't work.
"You're one to talk" I say quietly back not quiet enough.
Her head snaps up and she glares at me.
"What does that a suppose to mean young lady!" she seethes at me.
"Don't young lady me and you know exactly what it means," I yell and I can feel my throat getting sore from yelling so loud.
She's still glaring at me and I can tell from the look in her eye she's knows exactly what I mean.
"You know what I mean mum, you know when dad left, you become lifeless, as if you didn't have a reason to live anymore. Nothing else mattered to you anymore, not even me! I was fourteen mum, my dad just left me but it felt like I lost both my parents the same day." I said with my voice going quiet at the end, with tears running down my face.
I have her a hard cold stare and walked up the stairs towards my bedroom.
As soon as I walked into my room I reached for my duffle bag that I stored under my bed, I went to my dresser and started shoving random pieces of clothing in there. When it was full I zipped it up and grabbed my handbag from the back of the door and made my way towards the door.
Before I opened the door I saw a dark figure standing near the window, I jumped but then I realized that Edward was waiting for me in my room.
I walked over to him and he pulled me into his arms and I let myself enjoy it just for a moment.
"I have to leave," I told him looking into his eyes.
"I figured," he said bluntly.
"Will you come with me?" I said almost begging.
"I would go where ever you go Bella," he said gently and tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Wait for me in the car" I said handing him the keys.
I walk out of my bedroom door and down the stairs.
"Are you going to apologues for what you said to me?" my mother voice says from the living room, she must of heard me walking down the starts. She's facing the window so she can't see that I'm holding a duffle bag.
"No" I say sharply and walk towards the door.
I open the door and she's grabbed me by my elbow stopping me from walking out the door.
"Where do you think you're going young lady?" I mother asks deadly calm. I can see a half full bottle of wine on the coffee table and a empty glass next to it.
"It's none of your concern. I'm leaving and don't expect to hear from me anytime soon." I seethe at her.
I yank her arm of me and walk towards the car and open the back door and throw my bags inside.
I can see that Edward's in the drivers seat and make my way towards the other side.
My mother grabs me back by the arm and slaps me across the face.
She glares at me.
So I do what anyone else would do.
I punched her.
Not hard, but she stumbles back a little bit.
"You disgust me that you're my mother. I'm leaving and I don't think you'll ever see me again. I'm eighteen and have the right to leave, so don't bother stopping me" I spat in her face and opened my door and the car's moving before I can slam it shut.
I'm breathing heavily and I feel like I'm going to be sick. I put my head between my knees and I can fell Edward's hand gently caressing my back. It calms me lot more than I thought.
I lean back and out my seatbelt on and I close my eyes.
A hand slides into mine and my eyes are wide open.
"So where are we going?" Edward causally says and gives me a heart-warming smile.
"I don't care, as long as I'm with you," I say tiredly, I yawn.
He gives me a small smile.
"How are you feeling?" he asks.
"I'm feeling pretty good actually, I feel as if a big weight been lifted up from my shoulders." I tell him honestly.
"Okay" he says and gives my hand to his lips and gives them a gentle kiss before placing it on his knee.
"Let's go and stay at a hotel for night and figure out what were going to do next" he said, doing a U-turn and heading for the closet hotel.
"Well that sounds like a lovely idea Edward, but there's the little problem of no money!" I tell him sarcastically.
He laughs…
"Bella don't worry about it, it's all-good," he said and a dark chuckle escaped his lips.
I don't think I even want to know…
Ten minutes later were pulling into a hotel. Its looks nice and expanses…
I give him a confusing look as we get out of the car.
He grabs my bag from the back seat and walks his way inside.
We walk up to the front counter and when the receptionist looks up, she blushes.
"Hello welcome to Meadow Springs, how may I help you this evening?" she stutters to him.
I roll my eyes.
He looks her right in the eye before he starts to speak.
"I need a suite," he tells her.
She nods and types something onto the computer.
"Name?" she asks still looking down.
"Edward Cullen" he tells her curtly.
"And how are you paying for this today?" she asks.
"It's all paid for," he says looking straight into her eyes.
After another quick look at the computer she smiles and hands him a card, which would be the key to the room.
"Okay, here's your room key. You're in room 106, first floor. Have a nice stay," she tells him sweetly and then Edward grabs my hand and pulls me towards the lift.
"Umm… Mind explaining what just happened back there?" I ask casually.
"I'll explain when we get up to the room.," he said and the doors open at that moment. He pulls me down the hall way and we take a right and where at room 106.
He slides the key card in and opens the door for me.
"Thank you" I mumble and walk over to the small kitchen, Edward follows me and hand me a piece of paper.
I give him a questioning look and quickly read what it says.
Okay so I'm going to be blunt about this, you're a vampire. I know you won't believe me but when you get close to humans you will. The ring on your finger allows you to go out in the daylight. Take it off I dare you. The thing you must know is that you now can tell humans what to do, compulsion in better words. Its pretty cool isn't it? Just look them in the eye and tell them whatever you want and they'll do it. Don't be foolish with it!
I thought you had the right to know.
Sincerely the person who saved your life.
"Umm okay… That's weird," I say lamely because honestly I don't know what to say.
"Weird indeed" he replies.
Breaking the awkward silence is the sound of my ringtone from my handbag.
I get my IPhone and I don't recognize the number.
"Hello?" I say into the phone.
