Chapter 6- Dig, by Headbone

Bella.

So it's been two weeks of being locked in the house, no phone calls, no computer, and just going to the basketball tryouts. Edward has came to my room two times after the night of Leah's party, because his parents fighting. Charlie didn't talk to me much, just a couple of words a day. That had to have been the worst two weeks of my life, and my birthday was coming up and I doubted I was going to do anything.

"Bella come here we need to talk!" Charlie called from the kitchen. I hoped he wasn't going to yell at me, I swear I didn't do anything, well I don't think I did.

"Yeah dad?" He was sitting at the kitchen table, putting the newspaper down so I could see his face. He didn't look mad, which was good, maybe he just wants me to do run some errands?

"Your birthday is coming up." He said with a smile.

"Yeah I know, but I'm still…" He cut me off.

"About that… I think you should get your freedom back." I couldn't believe this; I didn't know if I should jump up and down like a little kid or run and give a big hug. I decided to do both; Charlie was shocked by my actions and started laughing when I was jumping like a little kid.

"You seem happy; well that's your birthday gift from me. Your freedom." He said with a smirk and picked up his newspaper.

"I don't care! You don't have to get me anything now!" and he probably wouldn't. He then reached in his pocket to pull out my cell phone.

"Here you go, you're free." He murmured setting my phone on the table. I ran to grab and turned it on, I had 19 missed calls and 50 text messages. I thought I told people I didn't have my phone, I guess not. I was about to walk out of the room when Charlie said, "Um Bells, no more parties okay?"

"Yeah no more parties" I agreed.

I dashed to my room, wanting to call the one person I wanted to talk to right now. I dialed their number so fast, I had to make sure it was the right number, they answered after the second ring.

"Hello?"

"Guess what?!" I yelled with a smile firmly in place.

"Bella?" they asked a little confused.

"Yeah it's Bella, but guess what?" still excited.

"Um okay what?"

"I'm not grounded anymore!"

"Yeah cool, I got off yesterday, now we could go riding now, right?" he asked anxiously.

"Yes of course Jake, we will go tomorrow." It has been so long since I went bike riding with Jake.

"Okay good, because I have been practicing, so I could kick your ass." I could hear Billy in the back ground ordering Jake to watch his mouth and Jacob trying to persuade his dad into thinking he didn't curse, which caused me to laugh.

"Anyways how could you practice if there are no dirt roads in Torrance?"I asked curious to know where he would be riding his dirt bike.

"I got this new video game, and it has the handle bars of a bike so you could stir the bike better." Wow my cousin is a video game junky? I thought he was sneaking out or something cool, but okay.

"Really? You think a video game will make you a better driver?" what I meant was does he think a video game will make him better than me.

"Yeah, it helps me on my turns."

"Okay we will see about that little 'cuz." He hates it when I call him little, well he is taller than me but not older, and I just loved to get a reaction out of him.

"I am only a year younger than you, and I am taller than you so stop calling me little 'cuz." He said a little angry which mean mission accomplished.

"Well I'll see you in the morning… little boy." I couldn't stop laughing after that, he sighed through the phone.

"Whatever bye." He scrambled and hung up his phone hastily.

I was about to call Edward but I remembered he and Alice is still grounded, along with a lot of other people. Leah was posted as having the worst party ever, and so many people stopped talking to her because of it, but I was always there for her. Even if it was my own father that got everyone in trouble...

As I was thinking back to the party, my phone rang and to my surprise it was my mother, Renee, I didn't talk to her much or see her often. She was a dancer and left me and Charlie so she could go on tour and travel the world, and then she met Phil, a famous baseball player. Who always came to her show and sooner or later, she fell in love with him. Since then I've only seen her once or twice a year.

"Hey mom, how are you?"

"I'm good baby, I heard you weren't grounded anymore." Damn word gets around fast.

"Did Charlie tell you?" stupid question, who else would tell her?

"Yes he told me yesterday that he was thinking about letting you go." She didn't seem happy.

"Should I still be grounded?" I wondered. Was that what was bothering her?

"No, finally you're not grounded anymore; I mean we were kids once." Renee is a pretty laid back person, she doesn't like to punish me or get mad at me for anything, I think it's because she isn't around and doesn't have the patience to deal with my teenage drama.

"Yeah so how is Phil?" I asked just trying to make a conversation.

"He is good. So I was wondering if you wanted to go to Vegas with me in two weeks?" Excitement laced her voiced.

"Um sure, what is in Vegas? Besides drinking and gambling..."

"I won two rooms to Planet Hollywood, and four tickets to a dance show there, so you could bring a friend!" she said enthusiastically.

"Wow that sounds great mom, I just don't know who to bring." I would bring Jacob but he would want to spend time with Renesseme, and all my girl friends would be trying to spend time with Edward, unless I take Edward with me...

"Bella, Bella are you there!" My mom yelled, bringing me back to reality.

"Yeah mom, I was just thinking about who to bring." I knew who I wanted to bring, but I doubted he would go with me.

"Well you got two weeks to figure it out. I love you baby but I have to go!" she sounded sad that she couldn't talk to me longer.

"Okay. Love you too mom bye." I hung up my phone. Would Edward come with me? I asked myself. He probably wouldn't. He has a lot of girls here for him. He wouldn't want his best friend to be pulling him down?

I decided not to think about it anymore. Since I wasn't grounded anymore I wanted to go out, maybe to the park or something. I grabbed my keys and was about to walk out the door, but Charlie's voice ringed loud and clear in my ears.

"Bella where are you going?"

"I'm just going to the park and maybe get some ice cream." Oh father, always jumping to conclusions.

"Okay, do you have your phone?" Yeah so he could call me every minute.

"Yes dad I have my phone." I pulled it to show him.

"Okay bye." He walked back to the living room to watch some game that was playing.

--

When I got to the closest park, I went straight to the swings. There weren't a lot of people there, and I had the swings all to myself which was pretty neat because, I loved going on the swings, I always felt like I was flying when I laid my head back, it was like my peaceful place.

When I was younger, Edward and I use to come here to play basketball or tag. Of course a lot of other kids would come too, but most of the time it was just him and I. We had our first kiss on the slide, I was scared to go down so he kissed me and said "now you won't be scared anymore" which was true, I wasn't scared to go down the slide anymore, but after that he decided he wanted to kiss every girl. I was the one that started the whole ordeal. But no one ever knows that - and no one ever would.

It was starting to get dark so I went and got my ice cream and headed back for home base. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I changed into some shorts and one of my dad's T-shirts and went lay on my bed, I turned the TV on to 'Americas Best Dance Crew' because that was all that was really on. Suddenly, I heard a knock at my window, thinking it was Edward I quickly went to the source. But I was caught off guard to see it wasn't Edward.

And, this person was crying their eyes out.
