Once again, the really cool cover I made for this story is on my profile under updates. And Charlie was getting in the way of my thoughts, so he's gone for a bit. Just read it and enjoy and figure out why! ~Smiles234

Mike and Jessica would hardly let me get in a n answer to their bombardment of questions.

"Wow! You look a lot paler…Must just be 'cause I haven't seen you lately. Anyways, how's everything?"

"I-"

"Dumb question, Mike." Angela pulled Jessica and me aside. "So? How's it going with Edward?"

"Great." I didn't know how to say, 'Oh, I'm a vampire now and will be spending the rest of eternity with him.' I was about to say something else when Jessica's mouth ffell open and Angela's eyes widened at something behind me. Edward… I turned around, and I was right, Partially. Charlie was talking to the Cullens that were at school.

"Excuse me, guys," I said as I left my group.

Apparently, they were talking about something I wasn't supposed to know, because as I walked up, Charlie said Thanks and goodbye to the Cullens.

"Wait, Ch—Dad."

"Hey, Bells."

"What was that about?"

"Um…bye! See y at home." He completely ignored my question and left. I turned to face Edward. "What was that about?"

"You'll see," was all he said, but I wasn't very happy about it. And changing his mind took way more strength than anybody's other than his.

"Since I know you don't read my author notes, I will hide them.

I was about to protest so he would tell me, but my swarm swooped me back up again.

Elizabeth met up with us in the parking lot. Mike and Tyler looked confused as they walked by.

"Enrolling," was all she said to me as I glanced her way.

The ride home was quiet. The Cullens were hiding something, but I didn't bother to try to get out the answer.

When I entered the door of my house, Charlie's face was serious.

"Hey, Dad?" I acted as if I wasn't sure of myself.

"There is a cover I made for this story on my profile. Go look!"

"Bella…I have to leave Forks for a few years… My pay has been cut and I need this money raise. I-"

"What???"

"Bella, you have to understand. I'll-"

I just left him standing there in the kitchen as I ran at a human pace up the stairs. I was surprised to see Edward sitting on my bed, though I don't know why.

"Bella, love, you have to listen to h-"

"You knew, you KNEW, and yet you didn't tell me." He pulled me in his arms. I resisted, but he was stronger than I was.

"Bella, calm down. Just listen to what he has to say."

"But-"

"Go." I glared at him harshly as I walked out my door. He responded with my favorite crooked smile.

"Dad? I'm sorry. But why are you leaving?"I pretended to wipe away the tears I would have had if I could cry.

"Bella, I need the money to keep everything running smoothly. I'll be back in a few months. I'll come visit you and everything."

"Woah, back up. Visit? As in I'm staying here?"

"Oh, yeah. Right. The Cullens said they'd take you in. I trust Carlisle." Under his breath, he added,"It's just that Edward…"

"What?" It wasn't really a new thing or a surprise to be living with the Cullens. I already had for a few months, but I had to act the part.

"I have to leave in the morning, but I'll be back in a few weeks for a visit. I'm sorry. You…should go pack…"

"Dad, I..I'll miss you." I said this as sullenly as I could as I headed back upstairs. I knew I should have changed his mind, but there was something inside of me that wanted to live with the Cullens again.

My thoughts were interrupted when I entered my room and saw Edward sitting still, staring blankly at the wall.

"Edward? What's the matter?"

"I'll be right back. Alice will be here in a second."

"Wait…" He was already gone.

"Bella?" Charlie called from downstairs. He didn't need to say anything else, as the smell of burnt food drifted up from downstairs.

"Dad, you're supposed to take the plastic off, first," I lectured as I saw an oven bake pizza with melted plastic melted into it and smoking.

"I knew I had forgotten something…" He smiled guiltily.

I had pretended to be asleep a few times when Charlie would come in to apologize, say he's leaving, and once again to say goodbye and he'll be back soon. I waited for the sound of his car driving out of the driveway before I went downstairs. He had left a note on the table.

Dear Bella,

The Cullens will be here at noon. Once again, I'm sorry. ~Charlie

I rolled my eyes, knowing that Alice and Edward were already here, upstairs packing my suitcase, most likely.

"Welcome back, Bella." Carlisle smiled as we ran through the back door. All I could say was that I was happy Alice didn't through me an "I'm Sorry" party.

Elizabeth was back at the house at four.

"How was your first day?"I asked.

"It would have been easier if you guys were there, no offense, Rosalie…"

"None taken."

Later than night, my hopes we crushed. Alice HAD thrown me a party. After being drowned in the same questions over and over again, I was plotting against Alice. She was going to pay for this.

"Whatever you're planning, I'll see it." She had obviously seen my villainous smile. I just ignored her and walked on.

Edward smiled my smile as I READ THE AUTHOR NOTES. For all you know, I may have cancelled the story and you wouldn't have even know to tell me to keep it so I would. I wasn't planning to, but please just read my author notes! They'll make the story make more sense sometimes.
