Chapter 7: Falling Apart Inside

BPOV

I pulled into the driveway, wondering what was wrong. Charlie knew I was at the Cullen's, having dinner with them. It wasn't like him to interrupt like he did.

I noticed a strange car as I hopped out of my truck. It looked like a rental.

"Dad?" I called as I walked into the house. "What's wrong?"

"Bella," he called from the living room, angrily, "Could you please come in here?"

I was stunned. What had I done wrong?

I walked into the living room warily. I noticed a vaguely familiar woman sitting across from my dad.

"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked again.

"Bella, sit," he sighed, obviously frustrated.

I sat down, away from the woman and my dad.

"Bella, honey, do you know anything about this woman?" he asked. It sounded as if he wanted my answer to be no. I could give him this answer.

"No, why would I?" I was puzzled.

The woman finally spoke. Her voice came out as an angry hiss. "How could you not remember me, Isabella?! I am your mother! You should know who I am!"

I was stunned. This was Renee. My mother. My mother who had given me up because she didn't want me. I exploded.

"Why the hell should I remember you?!" I screamed into her face, tears now flowing. "You gave me to Charlie like I was something from the divorce you didn't want! You never took care of me so what the hell you are doing here!" I was beyond angry now.

"Bella! You will not speak to me this way! I am appalled. It's apparent Charlie didn't raise you right!" Renee retorted.

"HE DIDN'T RAISE ME RIGHT?!" I screeched. "YOU COULDN'T EVEN RAISE ME!" I was sobbing.

"Because you were too damn stubborn!"

I rolled my eyes, laughing without humor. "Of course, Renee," I replied sarcastically. "So if I was too stubborn to be around, then why are you here?"

Renee now looked smug. "Well, I thought I could get over your behavior and you could come live with me."

I froze. It was my childhood nightmare all over again. I hadn't had the dreams of her coming to take me away in years! Why now?

"Daddy," I cried, like I was ten again. "Don't let her take me."

I ran to him throwing my arms around him, as if I didn't, Renee would drag me away.

"Hush, Bella. Don't worry I won't let her. Now, why don't you go upstairs. Relax, call Edward. It will be okay."

I nodded, tears still flowing. As I passed Renee, I shoved her out of the way of the stairs.

I didn't even hear her reaction.

I was wondering what was wrong at the Swan's. It wasn't like Charlie to interrupt.

I was sitting on the couch in my room, scrolling through my music on my iTouch, when my phone vibrated. I looked at the caller ID. It was Bella.

"Hello, love," I murmured.

When she didn't reply, and I heard sobs, I knew something was extremely wrong.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Edward!" She cried.

"Shhh, love. It's okay. Would you like to come over? Is that okay?"

"Yes... please," she whimpered.

"Alright, can you drive?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, I will see you soon. I love you, always know that," I said before she hung up.

I vigilantly waited for Bella to arrive.

I heard the truck pull into the drive way. I ran out to her and pulled her into my arms.

Bella buried her head into my chest, sobbing. "Oh, Edward! She's back! Back for me!"

DUN, DUN, DUN! First cliff hanger for this story! What do you think Edward's reaction will be? What else do you think Renee will do? Were you guys expecting that? ; Oh and reminder!
