If I Fell

Chapter 6

"Sis! Hey, are you OK? Renee told me everything, please talk to me." Charlie rushed out.

"If you'd be quiet I would." I gave a small laugh.

"Sorry, you've just got us worried. Carlisle was upset, you took his demeanor all wrong. He's ALL in. He wants this." Charlie pleaded for Carlisle.

"Look! I called to let you know I'm going out of town for a few days. I need to clear my head. And don't bother trying to come over and stop me. I've already left." I stated firmly.

"Bells! I need to know where you're at! What if something happens to you and you need us?" he questioned.

"Well, I've got my cell phone and I'll call! I've got you listed as emergency contact. And if y'all need me call me." I told him.

"Bells, please!" Charlie pleaded.

"No! I need to clear my head. Please respect that." I begged.

"Fine! I'm giving you 2 days and then I'll use the GPS in your phone and car to track you down!" Charlie demanded.

"WHAT? You put GPS in my phone and car?!" I yelled.

"Bells, they're all equipped with it now, most people don't know that, they think it's optional and… Never mind! I'm a police officer and I can find you!" he snapped.

"Look, give me 3 days and I'll call, please. I need to get where I'm going and settle in. I'll call you to check in each day though. Deal?" I sighed.

"OK! Call and let me know you're OK and I'll back off for a few days." He agreed.

"Thanks! I love you. I'll call sometime tomorrow." I sent my love to Renee and we hung up.

"OMG! Bella! I'm so glad you're here. I haven't seen you since Paris!" my college roommate Alice bounced excitedly.

"Thanks for letting me stay with you. It'll be good to catch up." I hugged her tightly.

We sat down and talked for a while. I filled her in on everything that'd happened since Paris and she was happy for me, but confused as to why I wouldn't stay and work things out.

"I guess I'm scared, a coward." I shrugged.

"Bells, it is a lot to process, but you should've talked to him." Alice the level headed one.

"I know. I just couldn't. He looked so upset!" I put my head down on Alice's breakfast bar.

"Look, let's go to dinner, clear your head and pig out." Alice pulled me by the arm.

After a night of gouging ourselves and laughing so hard we were gasping for air I felt a little lighter, and slept pretty well. I awoke the next morning with a better feeling.

"Ally, why don't you come back with me for a few days? I know Charlie and Renee would love to see you again." I asked.

"Yeah, I could do that. I've got a few weeks before I have to prepare for my next show." She smiled widely.

"OK, well why we don't stay through the weekend, give me some time to relax, get my head together and I can help you with anything you need. Then we can leave Sunday night, be home Monday night. I'll call my employees to let them know to open on Tuesday. Sound good?" I smiled.

"Perfect. You can help with making the tags, remember how?" she asked playfully.

"Of course! I'm pregnant, I don't have dementia." I joked.

We laughed and had a great girl's weekend. I called Charlie and filled him in on what was happening and that Alice was coming for a visit. He wasn't surprised that I'd went to Alice and he was excited that she was coming to visit. He said that Renee and he would host a big dinner on Tuesday night. Ally was bouncing, Charlie does the best BBQ.

"So, how's Carlisle?" I sighed.

"I've only seen him once. He's been beside himself and just threw himself into his work again." Charlie sighed.

"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! I'm so fucking stupid!" I yelled to myself.

"What's the matter sis?" Charlie panicked.

"I just thought of this! FUCK! I walked out and left he just like Esme did! He'll NEVER forgive me now. I did the one thing I said I'd never do." I started crying.

"Bells, calm down. He misses the hell out of you. He wants to see you." Charlie sighed.

"OK! Please don't tell him I'm coming home. I want to go to him. OK?" I begged Charlie.

"Yes, I'll keep your secret, except from Renee, OK?" he bargained.

"OK! See you guys in a couple of days." We said our goodbyes and hung up.

"OK, I'm so ready to go back and talk to Carlisle. I feel awful now." I started crying, Ally calmed me down and helped me to see the good side of all this, the make-up sex.

"Leave it to you Ally to think of sex." I laughed.

"And I've got the perfect l lingered for you. AND, I'll have you know it's been months since I've had sex. I'm saving myself for Mr. Right." She smiled.

"Ally, I hate to tell you this. Your virginity doesn't grow back." I broke into a fit of giggles joined by Alice.

And that's how we ended our weekend. Laughing and eating.

AN:

We'll here from Carlisle next chapter.

Have a warm weekend!
