Ohh. This is a good chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 8

"Were leaving." Edward pulled me down the stairs before I could stop him. "Oh, you again! She's staying here!" Charlie said getting up, and Edward stood his ground. "No. No she is not. I won't let you keep her here, you dirt bastard. She is now legal adult age, and can choose her life. I won't let her stay here in this god forsaken place any longer. I hope you burn in hell." I stared at Edward, with the biggest smile on my face. For one moment in my life; I felt loved.

"I'd like to see you try," Charlie laughed, eyeing his gun. Would he attempt to kill us? Or Edward?

"Bella, go." Edward gestured me out the door, following me. I heard Charlie's rants and complaints, and curses.

We continued to walk, until I heard gun fire. That man was insane. "Go, run!" Edward said, taking off with me. We ran toward the car, and Edward peeled off down the road. "He's insane." I put my face in my hands.

"Bella, if he did anything to you…" He trailed off sighing. It was dark, so I decided to not tell him about him hitting me. "Don't worry Edward. I'm fine." I leaned over into his shoulder. "Where are we going?" Noticing he pulled onto the highway. "I told you; were leaving."

"Where?"

"Cali-fornia." He smiled in the dark.

"What about Alice? Jasper? Your parents?"

"Oh, they're not coming with us, but they'll be close."

"How long are we staying?"

"Until that piece of shit is behind bars."

I felt relaxed, and at peace. "Don't worry, Alice packed you and I clothes and everything. No doubt they're new." He chuckled lightly. I shook my head. I felt safe, and a little excited. I'd be with Edward, and no one else. No harm, nothing.

I fell asleep, to the calming car engine. My dreams were pure, and innocent.

When I woke, I was overly comfortable. I opened my eyes to see I was in a bed. I felt a spark go threw me, and realized Edwards arm was around me. I instantly blushed, and turned to look at him. He was staring at me, his green eyes mesmerizing. "How did I get here?" Surely he didn't carry me up here.

"I carried you." He said simply. "Are you insane?"

"Momentarily."

"You know you could of just waken me up?" His arms wound around me more. "You were so cute sleeping though, and you needed to sleep." I rolled my eyes. "Where are we?"

"Beachside, California." Mmm…sun. "You drove all the way to beachside?" I asked; astounded. "Well of course."

I looked around the room. It looked like it cost a couple thousand dollars, for a night. "Aren't you supposed to be eighteen to rent a hotel room?"

"Bella, I'm nineteen." Oh, that's right. "Oh yeah." I giggled.

"My family decided they wanted to go to the beach today; you up for it?" He smiled. "I think I could go for some sun." He chuckled and jumped out of the bed, wearing nothing but shorts. I felt myself blush again.

I dressed in a white bikini with navy blue stripes. I but some jean shorts on over it, and a white tank top. I left my hair down.

"Ready?" Edward asked, and I glanced over to him. He was wearing a white muscle shirt, with swim trunks. He looked absolutely amazing. "Uhm…" I nodded.

He chuckled. We got in the car, and drove toward the beach. It was a perfect 90 degree day.

We pulled up the beach, and I saw Alice running toward us. "Bella!" She threw her small arms around me, and giggled. "I'm so happy too see you! Oh, ready to go swimming?" She asked, as she pulled me toward the beach. Edward, and Jasper had the same expression as they shook their heads. I laughed.

Rosalie looked like a model; as usual, in her bathing suit. Emmett's eyes never left her. Edward's eyes were on me. I gestured him toward me, and he followed. I stood, barely in the water, as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

A small smile played on my lips as I pushed him in the water. I laughed at his shocked expression. He raised his eyebrows, and gave me an evil smile. My laugh stopped as he threw me over his shoulder, and ran into the water. "No! Evil!" He didn't throw me in, he just wrapped his arms around me, as we went further into the water. His amazing green eyes made my heart flutter. "Can I kiss you Bella?" He asked softly. "You don't have to ask Edward." I said as I bent my head toward him. He kissed me deeply, and I got a little to carried away, when he stopped me.

"I'm sorry." I blushed. "It's okay Bella, just good to know your getting better." I nodded in agreement.

Later that night we went back to the hotel, and I laid on the bed. Edward laid next to me, and I rolled myself on top of him. He pulled his lips to mine, and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. "Bella," He moaned.

All the thoughts of Charlie, and the rape went away from my mind, as my body took over.

"Edward; please."

He moaned again, as he began taking off my shirt.
