Chapter 11

I really don't. That woman goes to being the best mom in the world to the worst in seconds.

I pulled up in front of the house and got out. Edward walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked into my mom's house. "Mom?" I called out as I looked around the living room.

There was no response. I looked at Edward confused before I slowly started walking towards the kitchen. I slowly started opening the door and opened it wide once I saw what was going on inside.

My mom was on the kitchen table heavily making out with the guy that was here yesterday. My mom had gotten a divorce with Phil a couple years ago before my father died.

I turned away shocked, "Mom! What the hell are you doing?!" I asked as I sneaked a peek over to her.

She quickly got off the table and stood by him with her blouse slightly open and her hair a complete mess. He looked the same. I turned back to them still shocked, "I–."

I quickly cut her off, "I don't care what or who you do during the weekdays but when my daughters here I do not want this happening," I told her in disbelief and anger.

"I'm a woman Bella I have needs," she informed me.

I shook my head in disgust, "Ugh don't tell me that…that is just…disgusting."

"How is it disgusting?" she asked.

"I don't need to know who my mother is doing," I told her.

"Carlie's asleep she wouldn't have seen a thing," she told me.

"You don't know that. I don't care what needs you have you should wait until my daughter is out of the house when you decide to fulfill theses so called needs," I told her. I looked over at the guy, "Dude I don't know what the hell your thinking. She's like twice your age. I should know she's my mother."

He scratched the back of his head nervously. I looked at him surprised, "Wow I don't even want to know what you would have tried to pull on me if I had gone out with you," I shook my head as I left the kitchen.

"That's the guy your mom set up with you yesterday?" Edward asked.

"Yep…same guy," I said as I started walking upstairs, "How could a guy actually like doing that? It's like doing your own mother," I shuddered in disgust.

"I don't know Bella. You're the only person I've been with," he said as he started walking beside me.

I looked up at him, "You don't ever get like…curious about other women do you?" I asked.

"No…I already have you. Why would I look at what I don't need?" he asked confused.

"I don't know…what I do know is that guys get curious like that," I told him.

"Not me. I already have someone both beautiful and sexy to fulfill my 'needs'," he said mocking my mothers words.

I smiled lightly before I opened Carlie's door. My smile slowly turned into a frown when I saw Carlie leaning against her bed with her knee to her chest and tears rolling down her eyes.

I quickly walked across the room and bent down beside her, "What's wrong sweetie?" I asked.

"I fell," she said in a watery voice.

"Did you hurt your knee?" I asked when I noticed her hands tight around her knee.

She nodded, "Its bleeding," she told me with a small hiccup.

I gently placed my hands on hers and looked into her eyes before I gently took them off her knee. It was just a small cut but just like her mother used to be she didn't like the sight of blood.

I looked back at Edward, "You think you can get me peroxide and a Band-Aid?" I asked.

He nodded before he left the room to go to the bathroom. I gently picked Carlie up and placed her on my lap, "How did you fall?" I asked.

"I got," she sniffled, "up to go downstairs and eat breakfast but I tripped," she said as more tears sprang to her eyes.

"Over what?" I asked.

She frowned, "My shoes," she replied back before she pointed to the shoes that were right next to me.

"Why didn't you call for grandma?" I asked.

"She was talking to someone downstairs," she told me. "I didn't want to bother her."

I smiled at her lightly as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Sweetie no matter who's here if you get hurt you need to call for help."

She nodded before wrapping her arms around my neck, "It hurts mama."

"I know sweetie," I told her as I wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Here," Edward said as he entered the room and bent down beside us.

I took the peroxide from him and put some on the cloth he brought and lightly dabbed her knee. He looked over at her over my shoulder and smiled at her, "Does that hurt princess?" he asked her.

She shook her head against my shoulder, "No."

I set the cloth down once it was clean and placed the Band-Aid over her small cut, "There you go."

She pulled away and looked at it before she wrapped her arms around my neck again, "Thank you mama."

"You're welcome sweetie. Now how about we go to the store and buy you that movie you wanted?" I asked as I pulled her away so she could meet my eyes.

She smiled before she stood up, "Can we eat first?" she asked.

I stood up and picked up the peroxide and cloth and set them on her nightstand, "You want to go to Denny's?" I asked.

She smiled and clapped her hands, "Is daddy going with us?" she asked.

"Of course he's going with us," I said with a smile.

"So then he's not going away anymore?" she asked as I picked her up and set her on my hip.

"Why would he go away?" I asked confused.

"Grandma said he would," she told me.

This freakin woman is ruining everything. I quickly handed Edward Carlie, "Go to the car I have a little chat to start with my mother," I said with venom.

I quickly stalked out of the room and went straight to the kitchen. She was sitting down sipping a cup of coffee. "I just wanted to let you know that this will be the last weekend I leave Carlie with you."

She stood up and looked at me with a hint of anger in her eyes, "Why?" she asked.

"All your doing is telling lies to her! Stop it mom! Just because Phil left you doesn't mean that Edward is going to leave me!" I hit a nerve.

And I didn't figure that out until I felt the confusion in my head and the stinging on my cheek. I lightly touched my cheek still a bit disoriented and slowly moved my head back in place to look at her.

I clenched my jaw, "And to think I was going to invite you to the wedding," she looked at me a bit shocked. She looked at me a bit concerned and was about to say something but I cut her off, "You know what…" I slowly walked backwards towards the exit of the kitchen, "Fuck you."

I hadn't cussed in two years. It felt weird as it rolled out of my tongue. I quickly turned away and left the house still holding my cheek when I got outside and got in the car. I was still fuming.

"What happened to your cheek?" Edward asked as gently took my hand away from it.

"Its nothing," I told him as I looked out the other window.

He gently touched it with his fingertips making me wince in pain, "She slapped you didn't she?"

I clenched and unclenched my jaw but just continued to glare at the house, "Its nothing," I insisted.

I sneaked a peek at him to find him just as mad as I was. I sighed and looked towards the back seat, "You ready to go?" I asked Carlie.

She looked at me serious, "Did grandma hit you?" she asked.

I was a bit surprised she knew what a slap meant, "No…umm…she just…"

"I'm not stupid mama," she reached over and touched my stinging cheek lightly, "You want me to buy you ice cream?" she asked with a small smile.

I smiled at her lightly, "We'll get ice cream when we get to Denny's okay?" I asked.

She smiled and nodded before she took her Barbie's from beside her and started playing with them.

I turned back in my seat and sighed. If only ice cream could take it all away.

A/N: Can you believe her mom did that to her? Don't you wish ice cream could take all your problems away? That would be an awesome and easy way to do it. Leave me a review! Tell me what you think about this chapter!
