I searched the house frantically for Alice, it was almost five and I will admit that I was a little anxious to be having Bella over tonight for a sleep over.

"Alice! Alice! There you are, have you called her yet?" I found Alice in the kitchen fixing a snack with Jasper leaning against the counter.

"Calm down Edward, it's barely five o'clock. But if you will calm down and hand me the phone I will do it right now." I whipped the phone out of my back pocket in a matter of mere seconds handing to Alice across the counter. She flipped open the cover and dialed the Swan's number. "Hi is Bella there...Oh well I was wondering if you could tell I called because I was wondering if she wanted to have a sleep over tonight……..alright I will talk to you later. Bye." Alice shut the phone with a look of perplexity on her face. "Charlie said she wasn't home, which is funny because earlier she said she was basically under house arrest."

"No….something isn't right." I walked out of the kitchen and back up to my room. Something wasn't right, why would Charlie lie to Alice? Was he really that intent on keeping me away from Bella? I laid down on my over sized leather couch that sat against the windows that stretched across the whole back wall of my room. I turned on my stereo with the small remote, having Claire De Lune fill the room, but even this couldn't get Bella out of my head. I sat there staring at the ceiling for I wasn't even sure how long before I heard a soft pattering coming from behind me. I sit up and look out my large window to see my Bella standing below with a small bag in her hand. Holding up a finger to tell her to wait I rush down the stairs only to get stopped by my parents who were sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Edward, where are you going?" My mother asked as I rushed towards the door.

"Oh, I forgot something in my car…..I will be right back." She looked at me skeptically but shrugged it off. I rushed to the back of the house to find Bella standing in the dark shadow of the house. She was shaking, I figured from the cold because she wasn't wearing a jacket but then I saw the tears. I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her hair as I pulled her tight into my chest.

"Bella, what happened? What's wrong?" I asked as I tried to calm her. She pulled away a little to look into my eyes after a few minutes.

"Let's just go away. You and I just get in the car and go. I can find a job and we can get our own place, just you and me." She was joking right? I mean we were only 17 and as much I loved her, I didn't think either of us was ready for this.

"Bella what happened? Come let's go inside where it's warm and we can talk some more." She shook her head, with terror in her eyes.

"No your parents can't see me because when Charlie calls they will tell them I am here." I thought about this for a second.

"Okay go through the back door here and I will meet you in my room in a few minutes. Okay?" She nodded her head and grabbed her bag making it to the back door. I raced back around to the front of the house and through the front door.

"Did you find what you were looking for dear? You were out there for awhile." My mother asked as I tried to get to the stairs.

"Uh….no I remembered that I left it in my locker at school. No big deal. Well I will be upstairs if you need me. Night." I spoke quickly leaving them looking like a whirlwind has just rushed through their living room. I got to my room and shut the door finding Bella sitting on my couch with her head in her hands. "Alright Bella, now tell me what's wrong." I said sitting next to her wrapping my arm around her shoulders.

"Charlie lied to me. Right to my face. I can't do this; I can't stay away from you." She sobbed, so that was what happened tonight when Alice had called. As much as I wanted to say to her that she could stay here forever I knew that couldn't happen.

"Bella he is just scarred, he doesn't know how to handle these type of situations. I mean he has never had to deal with raising a kid before let alone a teenage girl with a boyfriend. I am sure if you just give a little while he will calm down because no matter what he does, he does it because he loves you." Wow, I just defended the man that wanted to keep me away from his daughter. She looked up and I wiped away the tears that now stained her cheeks. "You can stay here for the night, no one will know." I said as I leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you Edward. I love you so much….I don't know what I am going to do when you move." I took her face in my hands and looked her in the eyes.

"We will work something out when the time comes. I will always love you and nothing will keep me away from you." And then my lips came crashing into hers, and we shared one of the most passionate kisses to date. It was like heaven to have her lips moving against mine. When we came up for air I rested my forehead against hers, as we tried to control our breathing.

Knock…Knock. "Edward?" Oh no my parents, I pushed Bella towards the closet to hide as I pushed her bag under the couch before opening the door to see my dad. "Edward, Charlie is on the phone and he wanted to know if you have seen Bella. Apparently she ran away tonight and he sounds like he is really worried."

"Uhhhh…..no I haven't talked to her at all today. Where do you think she would have gone?" I tried to sound panicked to make it more convincing but I wasn't sure if my dad bought it.

"Alright I will go tell him." He walked away but I leaned out into the hallway to hear his response. "Yeah, Charlie? She is here with Alice, she seems really upset…….okay I will…..yes it's no problem at all. I will send her home first thing in the morning. Trust me, we know how to keep the kids apart…..yes we have had a lot of practice…..alright…..alright Charlie. Bye." I went back to my room and got Bella out of the closet.

"Does he know?" Bella asked with fear in her eyes.

"No, but he is worried Bella. Come on you look tried, let's get you into bed." After brushing her teeth and changing her clothes, she crawled into bed and I pulled the covers up over her, tucking her in securely. "Good-night love." I whispered as I kissed her forehead, and humming a soft lullaby as she drifted into sleep. Not long after that here was a soft knock at my door. I got up quickly to answer it before the knocking woke up Bella.

"Can I help you?" I asked my parents who stood at my door with a look on their faces that said I know the truth. They pushed past be and into my room to see Bella's sleeping form in my bed.

"Edward, what is she doing here?" My mother whispered with a look of concern.

"She just needed somewhere to crash for the night. I am taking her home first thing in the morning……and I am sleeping on the couch?" My parents both gave me a look that said rethink that thought. "Downstairs?" They nodded.

"We will talk to both of you in the morning at breakfast. Good night Edward and we want you on the couch by midnight. Is that understood?" I nodded my head before they left and I went to lie next to my angel again.

"I will never leave you my angel. Never." I whispered as I wrapped my arms around her waist and she snuggled into my chest.
