Screaming Mind

--Edward's POV

After that embarrassing conversation with Bella, with me almost doing it, she always tries to make me uncomfortable.

Renee was feeling light; she was on cloud nine, as Bella and I told her of our plan to marry.

Bella was so nervous that I had to stop her from shaking. I almost had to do all the talking. I never knew that she could stutter so cutely.

We decided that it was time to go home and tell Charlie the *ahem* good news.

--Bella's POV

Charlie will explode. He will be angry. He will murder me. No, wait. First is Renee, second is Edward and then there's me.

Who would've thought that Renee would be ecstatic about teen marriage?

I'm sure that Charlie was betting on this to get me out of the engagement.

It was dark when we got to my house in Forks. Edward was holding my hand and kept saying that everything's going to be fine. I looked up to see Charlie on the doorway, watching me and Edward.

--Charlie's POV

I smiled at the blood on Bella's face drained. Renee didn't like the engagement, eh? Good.

"So how did it go?" I said with fake curiosity.

Bella blushed and said the words that froze my face:"It went rather well."

Crap. I thought Renee would back me up. Just then, I saw Edward look funny at me.

My smile froze on my face as Bella told me about Renee's approval and intention to help in planning the wedding.

I forced the words out of my frozen smile:"Come inside, then."

In my head I was screaming "crap" and "no" and "You're dead!"

Edward kept looking at me in that same funny matter.

I told them that I'll be getting something to drink and went in the kitchen.

I swear to God, sometimes, I think that kid could read my thoughts.

--Edward's POV

Charlie left us alone and I tuned him out, he said "I swear to..." but I didn't hear the rest of it.

Bella turned to me and smiled. I gave her a peck on the cheek and she blushed.

"I'm glad Charlie took it nicely." Bella said while exhaling.

I decided on letting her ride her cloud and not tell her that Charlie was thinking of how to kill me right now.

Charlie came back and sat down to watch the game. He kept looking at his watch and thinking when I'm going home.

Bella yawned by around midnight, so I said goodbye and goodnight.

Charlie almost kicked me out of the house.

--Bella's POV

I waited for Edward to come in the usual way. I was lying on my bed, straining to hear even the slightest bit of rustle.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when Edward was suddenly lying next to me.

"Edward, I didn't even hear a thing!"

He laughed and just hugged me tightly. I kissed him on the cheek and yawned again.

He said "goodnight, love" and hummed my lullaby.

I fell asleep inhaling his scent... I vaguely remember him gently moving me... I woke up without him on my bed. I saw a note on my bedside table...

Bella,

Love, Esmé called me over... seems that we have visitors. I'll meet you at school. In case anything happens, Jacob will be standing by... I'll keep you safe. I promise.

A/N:

What could be so important that Edward had to promise to Bella her safety?

And that Jacob has to "stand by"?

Review please!!!
