Hey, everybody!
Check out my new story, Edward & Bella: Way Back In 1914!
It's very Romeo & Juliet-ish. Bella's rich, Edward's not, and their parents don't approve of their love.
Check it out!
But....
Hope you enjoy this chapter!
R&R PLEASE!!!!

"Charlie?" I couldn't breathe for a second.
"Alice, Rosalie, come here for a moment, please." Carlisle called through the door.
Alice and Rosalie got up, shooting Charlie daggers with their eyes.
"Hey, Bells. How're you doing?" Charlie smiled, sitting across from me.
Okay, hold the phone. SINCE WHEN DOES CHARLIE CALL ME "BELLS"?!
And since when does he give a damn how I'm doing?!?!
"Fine." I said slowly, looking at him oddly.
"I know you hate me, but I've been getting help." Good. You need it, psychopath.
"Good." I said quietly, inching away from him as far as possible.
"Last night, I got a little high, and lost control of myself. I'm sorry." He looked completely insincere.
"It's okay." I mirrored his insincerity purposely.
"Come on, Bells. I'm trying hard for you." He begged. I still didn't buy it.
"Fine." I sighed in defeat and crossed my arms.
"Good. I'm going home now. Bye." He didn't hug me, or kiss me, or anything. He just got up and left.
If he was REALLY trying to make an effort to fix his jacked up brain, he would have at LEAST given me a proper goodbye.
It was times like this when I really missed Mom.
Come on, Bella. She's gone. She's been gone for years. Don't you remember those four pitiful years of therapy?
Ugh. Don't remind me.
Then don't get yourself worked up about Renee. You have Edward. And Alice. And Rosalie. That's all you'll ever need.
I sighed, recollecting myself. Charlie left, and Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett came in, giving him threatening glares.
They sat down, waiting until Charlie left. When the door finally snapped shut, they all jumped out of their seats.
"DID HE TOUCH YOU?" Edward shook me, looking for bruises or disorientation.
"Edward?" Rosalie asked calmly.
"What?" He snapped, standing up straight. Rosalie slapped him, sending Jasper and Emmett into uncontrolled fits of laughter.
"Get a hold of yourself, moron." She hissed through her teeth, sitting back down.
"What did he want?" Alice pressed.
"He just tried to give me some crap about how he's getting help, and he's changed." I rolled my eyes.
"That's what they say before they pull out the knife...." Emmett sighed, trailing off.
"WHAT?!" Rosalie and Edward screamed.
"I heard Charlie talking to his friends about killing someone. He didn't say who, though." Emmett seemed to be straining to remain calm.
"Well, what the hell are we still doing here? We've got to get Bella out of Forks!" Edward ordered.
"Are you insane? We can't just take Bella out of Forks! We're only seventeen!" Jasper complained.
"Well, are we going to leave Bella here to die?" Edward demanded.
"No....I guess not." Jasper sighed.
"That's not going to happen, Edward. Carlisle said Bella has to stay here until tomorrow night." Alice pointed out bluntly.
"I'll be right back." Edward jumped up and ran out of the room. We heard him begging Carlisle to sign Bella out.
"I'm sorry, Edward. If we take her out, she could go into another coma." Carlisle's voice was soft, but stern.
Edward came back in a few seconds later.
"Why didn't you tell him about Charlie?" Emmett asked.
"He'll never believe us. He'll just think we're making up excuses to get Bella out." He groaned, plopping down on the chair next to my bed.
"Well, can't we just stay here until she gets out?" Jasper asked like it was obvious. Everyone nodded.
"Okay, I'll stay here." Edward volunteered immediately.
"Won't you get tired just sitting around all night?" Alice asked.
"I'm a big boy, Alice." He shot her a glare.
"We're staying." Emmett said gruffly.
"No, I-" Edward tried to object.
"Edward, don't make me go over there." Emmett threatened. Edward shut up immediately.
"Wait!" I held up my hands, and everyone turned to stare at me.
"Don't I get any say in this?"
