This one is for womire01 who was wondering what happened to the inheritance and I promised to clear up her questions. So here you are girly, I hope I made you happy!
By the time Bella draged her exhausted body out of the bathroom she had a plan.
Yes, she loved the John and she would happily die for Sam and Dean but there is no way in hell Bella will let a man treat her like trash. When she got free of Edward she promised herself that no man will ever make her lose herself again and she stuck to that rule. And no matter how much she loved John and his sons Bella will not let him do this to her ever again.
So, the plan was to leave. Pack her things right now, call Charlie's lawyer which she still hasn't done and leave as soon as John comes back. She wanted to leave immediately but she didn't have the heart to leave the boys alone.
»Boys, I have to do something. Will you be alright alone for half an hour or so? I'll be in our room, so I won't be far if you need me.« Bella spoke to the floor, she couldn't look at the boys. They reminded her too much of John and she was pissed at him right now. She didn't want to release that anger at the boys.
»You know we were alone all the time before you came with us, right?« Dean snorted.
Bella smiled. They always could make her smile. No matter how bad her mood was, Sam and Dean could make her smile.
A tear ran down her face as she closed the door behind her. She's going to miss them so much. Taking a deap breath and letting it out she found her phone, getting her emotions in check.
Bella dialed the number of Charlie's lawyer. She avoided calling him until now. Frankly, she didn't want to call him even now and she didn't need the money her dad left but on some level Bella was afraid Renee will get the money if Bella didn't claim it. And that was the last thing Bella wanted, Renee didn't deserve a cent from Charlie. Renee was never a wife or a mother, she was just a bitch that broke both their hearts.
'Jenks attorney at law office, how may we help you?' An annoying voice answered after three rings.
»Hello. This is Isabella Swan, I'm calling for Mr. Jenks it regards my fathers will.«
'Hold, please.'
Bella could almost see the secretary with her blond puffed up hair, bright make up, a pink chewing gum and a nail file in her hands. Stereotype, yes but the girl on the other side sounded like one so Bella imagined her as one.
'This is Jenks.' A deep voice came through only a minute or so later.
»Uh. Yes, Hello Mr. Jenks, My name is Bella Swan. I'm calling for Charlies Swan will.« Bella stuttered. She was shocked that he answered so soon.
'Yes, Candy told me who you are. Charlie was a dear friend of mine.'
Bella chuckled for a second at the secretarys name before the words registered at her mind. »Really?«
'I'm sorry for your loss, Bella. Charlie talked about you all the time.'
Bella let the tears fall, she knew how much her dad loved her. »Thank you.«
'Your mother was here not two days after Charlie's death.'
»I know, she called me. Did dad leave her anything?«
Mr. Jenks snorted. 'No. He didn't. I'm sorry to tell you, I know she's your mother but Charlie didn't think much of her.'
Bella chuckled. »Yeah. I know. But she seemed to think so. She's convinced that dad never got over her.«
Bella heard Jenks laughing on the other side, she also smiled.
»Mr. Jenks…«
'Please call me Jason, dear.' Jenks cut in.
»Right, Jason then. How do we do this? I mean, do I have to come there and sighn something, or can we do this on distance? Because I'm not in Forks, I'm not even in Washington state anymore. I don't need the money but I don't want Renee to have it either.«
'You and me both. But Charlie made sure that Renee doesn't get anything. Even in the event that you as the recipient would pass away before him or with him, she wouldn't get anything.'
»What would happen in that case?«
'In that scenario all of Charlie's possesions and the money from the life insurance would go to charity. He devided the money to two organisations. One is for the homeless and the other for children with cancer.'
Bella smiled and nodded. This was the right thing to do. »Can we still do that, even if I'm alive?«
'Are you sure Bella? That means you'll lose over 200.000. $.'
»It feels right.«
'If you're sure I will make the arragments.'
»I've never been more sure. Thank you, for everything.«
'Not a problem Bella. Call anytime you need a lawyer or just an ear to listen.'
»I will. Bye.«
Bella hung up the phone and smiled. That was the best thing she could imagine doing with the money. She honestly didn't need it, she still had all of the money Jasper gave her she could live comfortably for the rest of her life with it.
As quick as she could she threw all her things together in her bag. As soon as John comes she'll be ready to go.
»Were you boys good?« Bella asked as she entered the living room.
Sam nodded. »We watched TV, Gumball was on!«
Bella smiled. The amazing world of Gumball and Spongebob Squarepants were the only cartoons the boys could watch together without getting into a fight. Sam ussually didn't mind either way and Bella let him watch anything as long as it wasn't to violent. But Dean felt he was too big for some cartoons Sammy watched.
»You boys hungry?«
They both nodded.
»We had cereal but that was hours ago.« Dean told Bella.
»Why don't you boys get dressed and we'll get something then we'll play outside for a while.«
Bella didn't want to go anywhere, she didn't have the energy to play outside but it was a better solution than staying inside and remembering last night everytime she looked at the door of their room.
The boys were exhausted by the time they came back and they went straight to bed. And Bella finally let go of her pain. She collapsed on the floor next to the couch and cried until she fell asleep right there.
The next day was pretty much the same. In the morning Bella made breakfast and they ate it while watching cartoons. Afterwards they went out and didn't come back until it was almost dark.
»Dad's back!« Sam exclaimed when he saw Johns car.
Dean cut a concerned look at Bella. She smiled at him.
»It's okay. Go.« Bella urged Sam and Dean when she opened the door to the apartment.
The boys ran to their father who was sitting on the couch in the living room looking like nothing ever happened.
Bella walked straight pass John to the bedroom took her bag and walked back out.
Just as she was opening the front door John said. »Wait!«
Thank you for reading!
