CPOV

I am leaned against the concrete wall sitting on the metal bench and it has been exactly 24 hours since I have been in here. The other men in this cell sat as far as they could from me. They tried once to pester me but I gave them a glare that set off their human instincts that I wasn't something they should mess with.

Finally I heard the faithful words, "Carlisle Cullen your bail has been posted."

I stand up and walk out the cell following the guard to the lobby. Another guard hands me my belongings that were confiscated. I say politely, "Thank you". I though didn't get a response back. Not many people were very fond of the doctor who has been having relations with the Police chief's 17 year old daughter.

I meet Eleazar in the lobby and follow him outside. He say's once he knew we were clear of listening ears, "Carlisle, really…A teenage human girl?"

I say, "Bella is well beyond her years and we are truly in love."

Eleazar sighs, "Well you will be happy to know the age of consent is 16 in Washington."

I respond, "I try explaining that to the Forks police but apparently they aren't aware of that law."

Eleazar says, "I doubt they get many of these cases in this small town also since you were Isabella's doctor and Charlie had allowed her to stay at your house in which he assumed were innocent slumber parties with Alice….he believes you took advantage."

I ask, "Well did you try to talk Charlie into dropping the charges."

Eleazar says, "He's stubborn. I even try to bribe him…but he didn't budge."

I shake my head, "Money isn't really something they desire for…they like the simple life….so what's next?"

Eleazar shrugs, "The only options we have is to go to trial which is extremely dangerous for you and your family. This ends up in the media then people will become curious about you and if the Volturi find out that you have a human mate…"

I say as we approach his car, "Alice is keeping tabs on them. She will know as soon as they get a tad bit curious about our family and when that time comes we will deal with it."

We were now sitting in the car and he was backing up, he responds, "Sometimes I think that maybe you put a little too much faith in your gifted children. The members of the Volturi are centuries older than us and they could easily figure out ways to bypass her ability…"

I nod, "I am aware of that possibility but Alice has done quite well with her ability in the years I have known her and you are right I do have a lot of faith in all my children…"

Eleazar retorts, "Well I would say Edward would think differently."

I sigh, "My love for Edward has not change even if he despises me right now. He'll one day find it in his heart to forgive me once he does find his true love. "

He sighs, "Tanya thinks she is Edward's true love. She told me her and Edward had relations while they were out looking for that Victoria but now Edward has become distant with her once again."

I ponder, "Hmm. He has always taken it seriously and was waiting for the right one. It shocks me that he actually gave in to Tanya. I would have never actually picked her for Edward but love can be a funny thing."

Eleazar laughs, "But Tanya is not as sentimental when it comes to sex and we have always joked that Tanya's gift was seducing men….so I wouldn't come to the conclusion just yet that it's love what they have…"

He then pulls into my driveway and I sigh, "I guess maybe it was hopeful thinking. I really don't want my family to fall apart."

Eleazar says, "Well then go back to your wife and stop these ridiculous fascination you have with this human girl. You could just disappear with your family for a century and then soon you will be forgotten and then you can start over."

I say, "I'm not in love with Esme anymore. I am not even sure if she was ever in love with me. I was lonely needed a mate and after I changed her we bonded but not sure if it was ever true love rather than really good friends."

Eleazar sighs, "Well all I know is she misses you."

I ask, "While we are on the subject, how is she doing?"

Eleazar says, "Better now since you shipped those newborns our way. She has taken over and is like a teacher and mentor towards them. She is trying to make them suitable to be in society and helping them to adapt to our diet."

I smile, "She has a wonderful motherly instinct it does not surprise me that she is the perfect person for that job."

He nods, "She does have a kind heart."

I say as I get out of the car, "I appreciate you bailing me out of jail and giving me a ride home, Eleazar. I will see you later so we can discuss the case."

Eleazar says giving me a disapproving look, "You are going to see that girl aren't you?"

I say, "That girl has name and yes I am going to see Bella. I need to check and see if she is okay."

Eleazar calls out as I start towards the woods, "If you are caught again with her then I am not sure if I am going to be able to get you out of this mess!"

BPOV

School was hell today. Lauren and her posse' kept coughing out the words, "whore" and "skank" every time I walked near them. I sat at the lunch table alone with tons of stares and whispers. I had to keep reminding myself only a couple more months till school was over and spring break was in a few weeks too. Maybe once finals come around people will forget about me…I enjoyed it more at my old school in Arizona when I was invisible. To make matters worse I had to stay at school 2 extra hours as the school councilor spoke with me. I knew dad put her up to this…because normally she didn't seek out students and force them to talk to her. It was supposed to be a voluntary thing to talk to the counselor or not.

Mom was waiting in the parking lot after school and was not too happy. She just could not understand why I would get in a relationship with a guy twice my age and then she started to blame herself for being a bad mom and not being a good influence when it came to men. I eventually started to drown her out.

When I got home Mom didn't get out of the car and I am assuming her dad got in a fight about the whole situation. She told me the hotel she is staying at and would be picking me up in the morning for my doctor's appointment.

I walk inside not even acknowledging dad in his recliner watching the ball game. I go straight to the kitchen and start cooking. I cook bake chicken, steam broccoli and carrots, and rolls. I make me a plate and take it upstairs leaving the rest on the stove for dad. I didn't feel much like having a family dinner.

I eat as I do homework. I had to at least keep my grades up so I will be accepted to the University of Alaska.

After I was done eating I go down stairs to put my dishes up and I see dad in the kitchen putting up the leftovers. I mumble, "Dad you don't have to. I was about to clean up."

He nods, "I know."

I sigh as I wash the dishes and my dad says, "Bella."

I don't turn around but respond, "Huh?"

He says, "I'm not angry with you.."

As I put the last dish up in the cabinet I say, "Ok."

He continues, "None of this is your fault it's his. I just want you to get back in your right mind and realize that this man is twice your age. It's not right….he has a wife and kids."

I turn around and cross my arms, "Are you telling me this because you know you won't win this case."

Dad shakes his head, "We will win this case one way or another. Either way I am going to make sure he never touches you again…"

I state, "In a few months I will be 18 and then you won't have any say….so you might as well deal with it. I love Carlisle Cullen."

Dad's face twisted into disgust, "You don't love this man….you are 17. That's it you are going to go to psychiatrist…I just don't know who you are anymore, Bella."

I shake my head, "I don't need a psychiatrist. I am not crazy….I have nothing to talk about."

Dad sighs, "Bella, you are out of control right now. You need someone professional to talk to…."

I shake my head, "No. I don't dad…my feelings aren't going to change. You need to just accept Carlisle being in my life."

Dad growls, "I'll never accept that sick man into your life. He was suppose to be nothing but your friend's father and the fact he was also your doctor…..how can you not see the problem in all this. He's not a good man Bella."

I say, "I agree it looks bad but I was the one who made all the moves…."

Dad shakes his head, "No no I don't want to hear this."

I sigh, "I really can't explain my and Carlisle's situation but he isn't like other men out there. He really loves me and wants what's best for me. "

Dad responds, "If he cares he would leave you alone."

I reply, "He would if I asked him to do so but I don't want him to…"

Dad says, "Well I have a court order for him to stay away from you until the trail is over and hopefully then he will be in jail."

I was tired of talking about this because we weren't getting anywhere with this conversation. He would never accept Carlisle and I; and if I was on the outside looking in on our relationship I could see why but Carlisle is a vampire and he loves me regardless of my age….he likes the person I am.

I go upstairs and slam my door. I almost jump when I spot Carlisle sitting in the rocking chair. I smile as he got up and ran into his arms. I wrap my arms around his neck as his wrap around my waist. I say, "I am so sorry for what has happen."

Carlisle says into my hair, "You have nothing to be sorry about."

I pull back a little so I could look at Carlisle, "Because of me you went to jail, having to go to trial and your family…"

Carlisle smiles, "My family is fine and we will manage. Eleazar, my dear friend is going to be my attorney…he has a lot of experience in law….I'll be fine."

He puts his hand my chin, "You my dear is who I should be apologizing to right now. You only get to have one human life and it seems to be tarnished with this mess."

I roll my eyes, "Everyone needs to get over it. I am capable of making my own choices."

I then lean up and kiss him deeply. I just wanted to be with him. Nothing else mattered when I was with him. It was only me and him.

My hands guide down to the buttons of his shirt as I impatiently try to unbutton them but about the forth button I hear a groan and Carlisle grabs my wrist to stop me. I look up at him confused, "You don't want to…"

Carlisle rest his forehead on mine and says, "Bella my dear you know I do but when I am with you, I become less observant…it's how we got caught….both times."

I sigh frustrated, "I just wish we could be together without people breathing down our backs."

I turn and sit on my bed and Carlisle sits next to me. He says, "Just give it a few months and you can move to whatever college you desire then we can be together, freely."

I look over at him, "A few months is a long time when you are going by human time…."

Carlisle chuckles, "Yes I know but keep your mind on your studies and maybe it will go by faster."

I didn't want to wait nor did I want to go back to school to face everyone looking at me, judging me….

I then before even thinking straddle Carlisle facing him. He looked at me confused and says, "Bella us being in this position is not going to help me to restrain myself from getting intimate with you…."

I say stretching my neck out, "Bite me."

Carlisle raises an eyebrow, "What?"

I sigh, "You heard me. Bite me….I decide I want to be a vampire now."

Carlisle says, "But you wanted to graduate and go to college…I thought."

I shake my head as the tears betrayed me, "No anyway what is a high school diploma going to do for me once I become vampire."

Carlisle picks me up bridal style and gently lays me on my bed and the props up over me and says as he gently wipes the tears from my face with his thumb, "Bella my dear. Tell me what is wrong."

I shrug, "Nothing I just want you to bite me and then we can hide together until people forget about us…"

Carlisle says gently, "Bella that is not the reason to change you so quickly. You may regret it by purely just wanting to run away from some problems."

I choke out, "But I thought you told me it was my choice."

Carlisle nods, "It is and I will change you, I won't break my promise. If you want it to happen sooner than we previous plan then I'll do it but not until you give it a lot of thought. You need to think of your family….if you came up missing then it will bring heartache to your family, till the day they die."

I state, "Yes and that will happen even if I waited a few more years."

Carlisle nods as a blond strand of hair falls out of place into his face, "True but don't leave while you all are not on good terms. They will have to live with that for the rest of their lives…blaming themselves. So will you, I just don't want you to have any regrets."

I brush back the blond strand into place with my hand and sigh, "I guess you're right. I just don't want to go to trial and watch them treat you like some criminal. You done nothing wrong….I just hate what my dad says about you…"

Carlisle smiles, "I can take the criticism and theoretically this does look wrong but as long as we know in our hearts that the love we have is right….then that is all that matters."

I smile and say, "You always know the right things to say. I love you."

He bends down and softly kisses me, "I love you too."

I look at the clock and say, "I suppose I should get ready for bed. Will you stay tonight?"

Carlisle nods, "I'll stay with you until you fall asleep then I have to get back home and go over the case with Eleazar."

He then stands up and helps me out of bed as I go to the bathroom and wash my face and brush my teeth. I then go back in my room and get into my PJs and Carlisle waits for me as I get in bed and he then wraps me in his arms as I snuggle into his chest.

I lay awake for a few minutes but it was complete silence except for my breathing. I then notice Carlisle raise his head looking around and I ask, "What's the matter."

Carlisle says laying his head back down, "Nothing I just thought I heard something must be a bird outside…or a mouse."

I mumble, "If there's a mouse in my room…then please make a snack out of it…"

Carlisle chuckles as kisses the top of my head, "Mice aren't my cup of tea but if I see one tonight I'll make sure to rid of it."

I yawn and say, "Thanks."

After that I was in dream land. Dreaming of a more perfect world with everyone accepting Carlisle and I. My family…his family, something I doubt will ever be a reality.
