Authors note: In this chapter I attempt to give a little more background on Bella's dad, Charlie.
Seething Paul yells at Renee the sounds that come out of Paul's mouth don't contain words. In fact all that could be discerned is ugly monotone escalating in volume shouting.
"Charlie would you tell this man, whoever he is, to stop yelling at me?" Renee says after a few attempts to defuse Paul's yelling.
Renee's voice came out years younger and infinitely more innocent.
The tone snaps Paul out of his anger to stare at Renee who becomes instantly uncomfortable with the unwanted attention.
Slowly as to make sure Paul didn't start yelling again Renee slowly walks toward Charlie.
"Who are you?" Charlie says.
"What?!" Renee says. "It…it's me Charlie. Renee." Renee says still moving forward looking at Charlie.
Charlie's eyes widen with recognition but he quickly hides the slip up with, "I don't remember."
"Ha. That face you made a moment ago. You do remember." Renee says the smile that now broke out on her face shone like the sun from the heavens. It illuminated her features briefly but was ruined when she scowled when Paul shined a flashlight in her face.
The scowl was more like the Renee of late, 'This Renee hasn't even finished high school.' Charlie thinks. Charlie sneaks at look at the back of Renee's head, 'Yup still brown hair that falls well past her shoulders.'
Looking farther down Charlie is shocked at what he sees. A feeling of nostalgia comes over Charlie as he gazes on his high school sweetheart that he never got to date until a week before graduation of his senior year.
Looking back to when he was 15 Charlie remembers what he did in high school. Cross country the summer before his sophomore year and continuing until the sport season's termination in mid-October. After cross country ended Charlie participated in wrestling; getting so involved that he completely ignored indoor track. Once the wrestling season ended Charlie went straight from a sweaty wrestling mat to a thawing track. Track and field was the most challenging sport for Charlie. With so many choices to choose from the lowly sophomore choose more than he could handle…at first. In fact the entire sporting lineup helped Charlie get fit enough to apply for the local police training program – which required him to show up weekends when he didn't have any sport meets. The summer after sophomore graduation Charlie decided to work out for a few weeks until cross country summer training started up again. After cross country started in the summer and ran until mid-October, just like it did last year and like it would do the next year, Charlie went into wrestling again. The previous year in wrestling Charlie had mastered 1 move in all the important categories that the coach had told him were important to being a good wrestler. Wrestling season ran until early March just like it always did.
After a few days of lifting heavy weights Charlie joined track and field just like the previous year. Charlie wouldn't deviate from this and between the homework and the sports schedule Charlie had set up for himself he really didn't have any time for socializing. Although that was untrue since his socialized plenty with his sports buddies. In fact at the end of his sophomore year Charlie had collect quite a group of good friends that promised to participate in all the sports Charlie participated in. They kept their promise Charli's Junior and Senior year of high school. The success was astounding. All three years Charlie attended high school the Forks high school wrestling team went undefeated and took first in region and state championships. The Forks high school cross country team broke several world records for the fastest 2.9 3.0 3.1 and 3.2 mile over the course of the sports season, they also took first in region and state all three years of Charlie's attendance at Forks high school. The Forks high school track and field team went on to take first in region and in state almost solely thanks to Charlie during his sophomore year of high school. During Charlie's junior and senior years attending Forks high school the track and field team broke and set several high school and world records for the boys and girls javelin, discus, shot-put, long jump, high jump, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 3200m, 4x100m, 4x400m, pole vault, 100m hurdles, and the 300m hurdles.
The memories were nostalgic as was staring at Renee who was beautiful, 'And young that's going to be a real firkin' annoying problem.'
