I don't own Twilight. What I own is my character's behavior, personality, background, and the plot of the story.

Author's note at the end of the chapter.

Edward takes off his shoes and walks slowly into the dimly lit living room, not sure what he is about to face, and decides that he will explain himself before she starts firing questions at him, "Have you been waiting for me all of this time?"

Bella doesn't answer him, instead, she raises an eyebrow at him in silence. "Okay, that's a stupid question for me to ask. Of course she has been," Edward says nervously muttering the last words to himself.

Edward walks closer to her and suddenly she gets a horrified look on her face and gets off the couch. "What happened to you?" She demands getting up to stand in front of him.

Edward realizes that he just stepped into a spotlit by a table lamp and understands that she saw his face, "I got punched in the face. I have been in the hospital for the last two hours."

She nods her head and then steps on her tiptoes so she can be on the same level as his face and examine the bruise, but as she does that, she smells something that shoots her nerves through the sky. "Where were you?" She demands.

Edward frowns in confusion and tells her, "I just told you."

Bella takes a step back and looks him in the eye then demands, "You smell like alcohol. Where were you?"

Edward's face goes yellow and he stammers over his next words, "I was hanging out with Maya in a bar, but I swear I didn't drink. I swear I didn't drink."

Bella stares at him silently for a full minute trying to decide if she believes Edward or not then turns around and goes to her bedroom leaving Edward baffled behind her. Edward sits on the couch and breathes a sigh of relief. Maybe she will give him the silent treatment, but at least she believes that he didn't drink, or else she would have yelled at him. Right as his eyes close from cheer exhaustion he hears footsteps running down the stairs.

He opens his eyes and finds Bella coming his way with something in her hands. "Breath," she demands and shoves something into his hands.

He looks at it and to his shock realizes it's a breathalyzer. "Where did you get that from?" He asks in surprise.

"It doesn't matter, breathe," Bella tells him dismissively.

Edward gets pissed off and all of the frustration and anger he felt towards Maya today bubbles to the surface as he tells her, "I am not drunk, and I will not get treated like a fucking criminal in the house I am living in, so you can shove it where ever you want to too. I am not going to use it."

"If you don't then I will call the police and demand that they arrest you for trespassing," Bella states angrily.

Edward argues back, "I will sue for custody then."

Bella barks out a laugh then chuckles as she tells him, "I would like to know where that will take you. You signed over your rights, remember?"

Edward stares at her for a second and curses her and his stupidity under his breath. Of course, she will use that against him. When he did that he was operating under the delusion that the Bella he dated wouldn't use it against him, but she isn't the Bella he dated. In his anger, he looks around for something to throw but realizes that he can't do that, so he picks up a throw pillow and screams into it.

"Happy?" He demands as he shoves the breathalyzer into her face after he breathed into it.

Bella swats the breathalyzer away from her face and raises an eyebrow as she tells, "What makes you think that this is my only issue with you?"

Before Edward can ask her what she means, they hear the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs and look up to find Angela coming down. "Are the two of you children?" She demands.

When she is met with silence, she continues, "Cece is sleeping upstairs and the both of you are making enough commotion to wake her."

Bella raises her hands and tells her, "I am doing what needed to be done."

Angela rolls her eyes at her and tells her, "The right thing would have been for you to confront him the moment he started pulling this shit, not suddenly exploding in his face a month into him doing it."

Edward looks confused and asks, "What are you talking about? I haven't done anything wrong?"

Now both Bella and Angela roll their eyes at him and Bella tells Angela, "I am not even sure if he is playing stupid or is that stupid."

"Maybe a little of both," Angela tells her and the two of them giggle together.

"Excuse me! I am standing right here," Edward states angrily two seconds away from stomping his feet on the ground.

"You are a shitty parent!" Bella exclaims.

Edward's eyes bug out as he automatically tells her, "No I am not. I am a good father."

Bella glares at him and tells him, "Yes you are. You are a shitty absent father who makes his daughter feel unloved and unwanted and I wish I never let you into her life!"

"Bella! Not like that!" Angela exclaims at Bella as she glares at her. Edward stares in confusion. Does Angela think he is a terrible parent too? She didn't disagree with her.

Bella huffs which make Edward turn back to her. "Oh please. He is bound to hear it and I want to be the one to say it cause I am pissed off," then Bella pauses to turn to Edward and tells him, "In the mornings you go to work, weekend mornings are spent volunteering, and out of the last thirty nights, twenty of them were spent hanging out with Maya. You are worse than a shitty parent. At least a shitty parent is around."

With that said, Bella turns around and goes to her bedroom.

Hello lovely people,

That was something I don't think you guys saw coming. Does Edward deserve what Bella said? Is she being too harsh or too lenient? Is Edward distorting his shot with Bella? What will Edward do with Maya next? Let me know your answers to those questions in the review section.

I enjoyed writing the Let Her Go, the one shot I recently wrote which was a request from one of you guys and I was wondering if any of you had any other requests you would like me to write. You can leave it in a review or PM directly to tell me about it.

Until my next update,

Stay Safe.
