I just redid this chapter to make it more readable and to match the rest of the story.
"Bella! Come on, honey. Wake up." I can feel him shaking my shoulders. Why is he waking me up in the middle of the night? Oh my god, the house must be on fire!
"Ugh…Ch-Dad, what are you doing in my room so late at night? Is everything alright?" I try to say calmly, thinking that I am going to have to start to running for my life.
"You were having nightmare and I came in to wake you up… it sounded like someone was attacking you. I was worried." Charlie explains.
"Dad, you know that isn't what happens. I have been having nightmares for months now. This is a common occurrence for me." I state the obvious.

"Bells, who is them?" he asks with air quotations.
"I don't really want to have to say it, dad. You know who I am talking about. They left me here months ago."
"I have no idea who and what you are talking about, Bells. Just spit it out. You have only been here a couple of days."
Wow, he is really going to make me say their name.
"THE CULLENS, DAD THAT IS WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT. "
"I know of some Cullens but they haven't moved here yet. They are due to be here in couple of days actually. They called the station to let the local police know that they're are going to be moving into a house on the outskirts of Forks. "

I then did something that I have never done before in my life. I fainted…
