PLEASE Read! Hey Guys so a lot of you have asked whether Edward and Kate are going to get together and so I have set up a poll on my profile, chose your favourite option and I think you will be surprised what you find in this chapter… I hope.
So Chapter 7, two Chapter's in one night…so proud of myself :D
After my chat with Rosmerta, which consisted of fawning over boys, talking about Charlie, talking about Rosie's boyfriend Mark and more fawning, I apparated back to America, changing my outfit and appearance back to that of Bella Swan, I walked over the road to Charlie Swan's house. I casually let myself back into the house and waited, a few seconds later there was knock on the door. I stepped out of the door and locked it before leading a strangely silent Charlie to the woods.
We walked in silence until we reached a small clearing, then I turned to Charlie. "I-"
But Charlie cut me off, "I really like you Bella. And I want to be with you, so badly. But if you decide to be with Edward, I'll understand." As soon as the words had left Charlie's mouth I flew at him and connected our lips.
"I want to be with you Charlie." I said breathlessly after we had pulled back from our kiss, "I want to be with you but we need to talk about…about the Cullen's and Fourth Year."
"The Cullen's are going to be beyond pissed we know that but we will find a way to make it work around them and their mood swings." He whispered still holding my waist.
"But we will never make it work if we don't talk about what happened that year." I murmured back. Charlie swallowed but nodded.
"We never should have let that happen. I should never let that happen, it was my fault." His voice was hoarse as he talked.
"It wasn't your fault Charlie. Never your fault. I wouldn't have been crying in the first place if it wasn't Voldemort and his followers. They killed them Charlie. Killed mum and dad, Benjy and Marcus, my aunts, uncles and cousins. I was and still am the last remaining Fenwick. You were just offering me a shoulder to cry on." I answered.
"But I shouldn't have kissed you." He whispered.
"And I shouldn't have kissed you. But don't pretend you weren't hurting too; after all they had gotten Gideon and Fabian the same night. We were offering each other comfort and we let it go too far, it's both our faults not just mine and not just yours."
"We should have at least used protection yet we didn't and look how that ended up a month later. You in the Hospital wing with Madam Pomfrey telling you that you were pregnant and then shouting at you for being so ignorant and stupid. Both of us losing house points to the disappointed stares of the matron, our head of house and the head teacher." he said slightly louder.
"I was known in school as a slut, nothing more than a disgrace to my dead family's name. But I got an abortion and after that year no one spoke of it anymore." I replied.
"It still happened." His voice returning to a whisper.
"Yes it did, but it's in the past everyone has moved on but us and it is time to do so." He nodded at my answer and we kissed it was a sweet kiss. Flashing a grin at him I said, "We should go, you got to get to your hotel and I have to get to the Cullen's.
He nodded and pressed a kiss to my lips before he left, I stayed standing in front of the door to Charlie Swan's house for a few minutes. I heaved a sigh before climbing in my truck to go to the Cullen's house. Letting the radio play quietly in the background, were me and Charlie together now? How was I going to break it to Edward that I didn't want to be with him anymore?
I had arrived at the house by now and was still in my inner musings before shaking myself out of it and entering the large white house. It was oddly quiet and that's when I realised no one was home, they must be hunting, deciding to go straight to bed I pulled myself up the stairs to Edward's room.
I heard moaning and what distinctly sounded like Tanya I crept across the hall to Edward's room. The door was open slightly so I pushed open a bit more and found Tanya, Kate and Irina getting it on with Edward. I held back a gasp and forced myself away from the door, out of the house and into the woods. This sealed my decision, I was definitely choosing Charlie.
I walked with my head down and not looking where I was going until I walked into something hard. Jasper. I tilted my head back to look at him clearly in the dim light. "What are you doing out here Bella?" His southern accent coming out.
"Trying to get away from the house and the horrors within." I muttered without thinking. His forehead creased in confusion and I sighed before answering the unspoken question. "Edward is having sex with Tanya, Kate and Irina."
A look of realisation flashed across Jasper's face; silently he grabbed my wrist and led me in a different direction to the one I was heading. Once we walked what felt like hours he let go. "Had to move out of hearing distance of the others." He murmured quietly. I nodded.
"So Edward was having sex with those three sluts huh?" He asked turning golden eyes my way.
"Yeah, he is such a man-whore. I am not even sure where to start." I answered angrily.
"He's an asshole." Jasper muttered, "I thought he was just having sex with Alice but apparently not." He shook his head honey curls swaying with the movement.
"He was having sex with Alice?" I gasped.
"Yeah. All this time I thought she loved me Bella, she had said so but apparently not. I saw them together, myself and the others had gone out hunting, Edward and Alice stayed home because they had gone hunting the day before but I doubt that now." He took a deep breath and ploughed on, "Anyway I went home to surprise her and found them in Edward's room up against the wall, they didn't hear or see me. It hurts Bella," he turned to face me, "They are always going around together having sex and I contemplated leaving the family after like the hundredth time I saw them but I couldn't."
"Why not?" I asked this was the most Jasper had ever said to me and I wanted to keep him talking.
"Because I love Alice. I love her so much; no matter how badly she treats me I could never leave, it would hurt too much. It goes against common sense and everything sensible but I love Alice so much. Don't get stuck in the same position as me Bella, leave Edward's monopolising personality and get away from here."
I swallowed and answered, "Let's go back to the house." Jasper didn't answer just began leading us back, on our way to the house I caught sight of Edward and stopped making Jasper stop beside me, looking closer I saw Alice, below Edward. I was angry, scrap that furious but I had chosen Charlie. I looked up at Jasper who had a look of heartbreak on his face but steered me away and we carried on walking.
We arrived at the Cullen house just in time to see Carmen go through the back door; me and Jasper followed them inside. I was tired from the walk and what I had found out today, my chat with Minerva seemed so far away when in reality it was a few hours ago. I didn't talk to anyone just walked upstairs and into Edward's room; I cast a glance at the bed before shuddering and settling myself on the sofa to sleep.
NEXT DAY
When I woke up I noticed I was in Edward's bed. I let out a wordless shriek and jumped from the bed and headed straight for the bathroom, throwing myself into the shower just barely remembering to get out of my clothes. I scrubbed my body until it was red and washed my hair twice before I was satisfied that I was free of whatever nastiness may be on that bed from the other night. The other night, my fist clenched in anger at what Edward had done, he strung me along like a puppet.
Clothes had been laid out for me on the sofa and I quickly slipped them on before walking downstairs. Everyone but Carlisle was there and being careful not to look at me. I shrugged it off and made myself some toast before going back into the living room.
"Bella." Esme said quietly. The tone of her voice got my attention immediately and I stared at her waiting for her to go on. "Charlie. He's in the hospital. Carlisle is treating him."
"Charlie as in my best friend?!" she nodded. I didn't reply just bolted out the door and into my truck, throwing it into drive and was on my way to the hospital. When I arrived I had to wait an hour before they would let me see him.
Carlisle came out from his room and gave me a small smile, "He's gonna be okay. He has four cracked ribs, a broken nose, his left wrist was shattered and his ankle was broken, he had various cuts along abdomen and legs and will be very sore. But he's awake and asking for you." Carlisle told me. I gave him a quick hug before darting into Charlie's room and putting a silencing charm on it.
"Bella?" Charlie's weak voice fluttered over to me.
"Charlie what happened?" I cried out looking at his bloody, bandaged form. I moved closer to him and held his right hand.
"Edward." He whispered.
"Edward did this? Why?" I tried to see if he knew anything.
"Dunno. Said it was justice or something. Couldn't get my wand on time, it's not broken though." I turned my head to the side at Charlie's words and there was his wand sat on the side table. I reached over and grabbed it before slipping it into my pocket with my own wand.
"I'll look after it. Get some rest." I leaned down and kissed his split lips gently before kissing his forehead and leaving the room. Edward was going to get it big time!
I fumed silently on my way home and noted that Carlisle had just pulled into the garage before me, getting out of my car I stormed into the house and through to the living room where everyone bar Edward was seated.
"EDWARD!" I screamed loudly. Within Seconds he was downstairs and looking smugly at me from the foot of the stairs.
Ooh, what am I gonna do with Edward?
