This is my first fan fiction story. I hope its ok. I'm writing this for my friend Regan because she keeps on bugging me to write a story and I keep on saying no. So she said I won't write any more of my fan fiction until you start yours. So here I am. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I'm not Stephenie Meyer and I do not own the twilight characters.
Chapter 1- Telling Charlie
Bella's POV
I dreaded the moment; the moment of telling Charlie that I was committing myself to marriage, the word that I dreaded and feared. But then again it would mean that I had just tied myself to Edward in a way that would mean that we would be together for the rest of eternity and that would mean that no-one, absolutely no-one could take him away from me. I looked at Edward. He turned to face me, his face calm, peaceful and tranquil. How could he be calm at a time like this? How?
"Bella, calm down, it's not the end of the world. It'll all be alright once we tell Charlie." Edward said calmly.
"How do you know? He could kick me out! Kick me out Edward! What would I do then? Wait don't answer that." I said knowing the answer to what I had just asked.
Edward put a hand on my knee and looked at me.
"Bella everything will be ok, one way or another, trust me." Edward said with a dazzling look in his eyes.
Edward was going to the lowest possible option to calm me down at that point. He was trying his best to dazzle me. But I was NOT going to stand for it. He knows how much of an effect it had on me.
"Edward! Stop trying to dazzle me! It's not going to calm me down!" I yelled trying my best to be angry at him (it never works though).
Edward just chuckled at me. I turned my head away from him and looked out the window watching the houses as we passed by, each one we passed I got more and more anxious, until we turned into my street that was when I could hear my heart starting to splutter uncontrollably. This was when Edward decided that it was a good time to speed up to my house.
"Edward, slow down! You'll crash!!'' I stuttered, trying to get my words out of my mouth. But by the time I had he had pulled up to my house. I managed to calm myself by saying Edwards's words over and over again in my head until eventually we got to the door. It worked, but I could still feel that inside of me there was a feeling that everything would go wrong. As we approached the door I looked up to Edward for some comfort. He looked down and embraced me.
"Everything will be alright Bella." He whispered.
I opened the door; in the distance I could hear the faint noise of TV that more than likely was playing this week's game. I took a deep breath.
"Let's go Edward, mose well get it over and done with." I said with a little fear in my voice.
I walked down the hallway and into the kitchen from there I walked into the lounge room.
"Dad, Edward and I have something to tell you."
Charlie turned off the TV and turned to face Edward and I. I could tell that he was trying his best to stay calm, but it definitely didn't show on the outside as his face was turning a light shade of green. I probably think that he thinks that I'm pregnant. "Ha!" I laughed to myself. "You're a long way off Charlie" I said in my head I looked out of the corner of my eye and I could see Edward had a slight smirk on his face. I could tell that Edward was probably thinking the same thing as me, that or is laughing at what Charlie is thinking.
"What's up kiddo" Charlie said
"Well dad... umm... Well" I just couldn't say it. "Ok well, Edward and I have some great news-"
But before I could continue Charlie interrupted me.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT! AREN'T YOU! I KNEW IT! I KNEW HANGING AROUND THIS..."
But before Charlie could continue Edward cut him off.
"No Charlie, Bella is not pregnant. I know I probably should have done this the proper way, but since Bella has already agreed and I didn't know whether or not you would say yes or no..." Edward said
This was when I started hyperventilating Charlie was turning from green to a slight red to blood red to blue and then to purple. Oh boy. This isn't going to turn out good. He knows what Edwards going to ask.
"Anyway...'' continued Edward "I have asked Bella to marry me. She has said yes but the only thing that is left is to ask you if that's ok. Bare in mind whatever you say Bella and I will still be getting married nonetheless. So Charlie will you give me your consent to wed your daughter?" Edward
I knew that this was the cue for me to run from the room and to continue running out of the house and down the street. Charlie had now gone five shades of purple in the last five minutes. I tried to move but my body wouldn't allow it.
"YOU!" Charlie shouted. It startled me, Charlie had yelled at me before but this was the loudest he had ever yelled at me yet alone anybody. Oh boy, I thought, oh boy.
"YOU, YOU... YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COME AND ASK FOR MY DAUGHTERS HAND AFTER YOU LEFT HER IN THE FOREST, UNCONCIOUS I MIGHT ADD, FOR HER TO DIE. THEN YOU GO OFF AND LEAVE MY DAUGHTER IN A SEVEN MONTH DEPRESSION STAGE AND THEN YOU COME BACK, GET BACK TOGETHER WITH MY DAUGHTER AND FOUR MONTHS AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THIS YOU ASK ME IF I WILL GIVE MY CONSENT SO THAT YOU CAN MARRY MY DAUGHTER. WELL THE ANSWER IS DEFINATELY NO!! YOU DEFINATELY WILL NOT BE MARRYING MY DAUGHTER!!" Charlie yelled.
He could have continued and continued, but it got to a point where I had had enough, and I could see that what Charlie had said to Edward had hurt him deeply and even though he might not show it on the outside I could tell that on the inside Edward was hurting. So I decided that enough was enough it was time to stand up to Charlie and tell him what I thought.
"LISTEN HERE CHARLIE! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR WHINING AND WHINGING ABOUT EDWARD. I'M GOING TO MARRY EDWARD, AND I DON'T I GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT EDWARD CAUSE I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR ME!" I said in the angriest voice while trying not to let out any tears and then stormed out of the lounge room leaving both Edward and Charlie shell shocked.
"GET BACK HERE YOUNG LADY! YOU WILL NOT TALK TO ME IN THAT TONE AND I WILL DEFINATELY NOT TOLERATE IT!" yelled Charlie
NO CHARLIE! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE! GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled while shaking uncontrollably
"OK, THAT'S IT BELLA! GET OUT! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" yelled Charlie.
I then saw him coming towards me. His fist raised. He wouldn't I thought. He wouldn't. He has never shown any violence. I really had done it this time. I braced myself and waited for the impact of his fist, but it never came. Instead I looked up to find my Greek God with Charlie's fist in his hand.
"That really was not a good idea. If you even attempt to touch Bella after what you have said to her I promise you that you'll be in so much pain that you'll be begging me for death" Edward said in the most menacing voice that I had ever heard.
"IS THAT A THREAT YOUNG MAN? YOU DO KNOW WHO I AM!" Thundered Charlie
Bad move Edward, I thought. Even if your family are vampires, Charlie is the head of police here. He could lock your whole family up and even if you did escape you would be on the run and would be wanted.
"Yes I know perfectly well who you are Charlie Swan. Are you trying to insult my intelligence?" Edward said in a voice that showed that he was trying to keep his cool and not break Charlie into tiny little pieces.
I decided that now was a good time to leave.
"Edward lets go please. Before you decide to do anything that you'll regret. And Charlie don't even bother trying to apologise cause I'm not going to forgive you. You have hurt me in too many ways, and for that I can't forgive you." I said. I then ran out of the house tripping on the carpet just before the front door. I fell out of the house, but before I could find the ground a pair of strong arms caught me.
"Bella, are you ok? Are you hurt" the angelic voice whispered in my ears.
"I'm fine" I choked out but both Edward and I knew that I wasn't, well I wasn't hurt on the outside but on the inside the pain was unbearable. My own father had kicked me out and attempted to punch me. That kind of pain was unbearable. It was the pain of a sort of betrayal.
Edward then picked me up and placed me in the car. Started the engine, and started driving towards the Cullen house. Edwards's house, wait no it was my house too now. And with that I started drifting into a sleep that would take me away from that pain that I was suffering.
Edwards POV
How could he? How could he do that to my sweet Bella? I mean look at her, she may not look hurt on the outside but on the inside she is in unbearable pain. I want to help her. I just don't know how to heal that pain. I turned to look at her. She was asleep. She was exhausted after that little episode that happened. I don't blame her either. I mean what kind of father would throw their child out and then go to punch her. I looked back up and onto the road. We were almost there now. Almost home. I pulled into the driveway. Alice ran out she knew what had happened of course.
"Edward, I can't believe, I just can't believe what happened. Why would he do that? To his own daughter too. Anyway where is Bella? How is she?" Alice said in a frantic voice.
"Alice, shhh, Bella is asleep in the car. I don't want anyone being loud she may not look hurt on the outside but on the inside she is unbearable pain. We need to give her all the support we can now. Please go and tell the others." I said.
I went over to where Bella was. I picked her up and took her up into my room and placed her gently on the bed. She still had not stirred. I tucked her in. Kissed the top of her head and whispered I love you in her ear. Then I sat and waited for my reason to living to wake.
Bella's POV
I woke at the sound of an argument happening down stairs. I looked around. Edward wasn't there. He must be down stairs. I got out of the bed. I wander what they were arguing bout down stairs. It sounded like Emmett, Jasper and Edward that were fighting. Then suddenly I heard a crash. Well actually it sounded more like a bear going through a wall.
"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! ESME IS GOING TO KILL YOU! AND JASPER WHY DID YOU THROW HIM THROUGH A WALL??" Edward yelled
"WHAT? What did I do? Ok so I broke Jaspers favourite remote controller but it's not like he doesn't have like ten more. Plus that wouldn't have happened if Jasper wasn't annoying the hell out of me with all of his empathising people who didn't need it." Emmett said
"Yeah well, your emotions are out of control. There ALWAYS so dumb. I mean look at when Bella punched the dog in the face and when she told you. You laughed at the fact that she had a broken knuckle! Who laughs at that? People who do really need some rehabilitation of emotions or at least need to feel what is appropriate at the right time!" Yelled Jasper
"Guys! Shut up and stop having one of your pointless arguments. Otherwise I'll get both of your wives in here to deal with you!" yelled Edward at the both of them.
After Edward had said that they both went quiet. I laughed. Trust Emmett and Jasper to have a pointless argument. But then I suddenly remembered yesterday's events with Charlie. Pain swept through me. I kept on walking until I entered the lounge room. Edward turned and in one swift motion I was in his arms.
"Shhh, Bella. It's ok. I know that you are in incredible pain. But please don't let get this down. Everything will eventually be ok. I know Charlie's reaction wasn't what you expected but please don't let that get you down. Charlie will eventually get over the fact that you and I are going to get married, and trust me when I say that he was so sorry after what he did it wasn't funny. Also his anger got the best of him. It's not your fault that happened. Please don't think it was." Edward said in a comforting voice.
He was right I thought. Why was I in pain? Its best to get over this and whether I choose to forgive Charlie was up to me. What Edward said had helped tonnes. I now felt as though the pain was going away.
"Thank you, Edward, thank you for what you said. It really helped. I can feel that the pain is going away. Now do you know where Alice is we have planning for the wedding to do." I said in the best enthusiastic voice that I had.
"Bella, I'm glad that what I said helped. You know how I can't stand seeing you in pain. Also Alice is in the kitchen talking to Esme and Rosalie about the wedding." Edward told me.
"Thank you" I said
"No Problem" he replied, "And Bella, well, umm...when you were asleep I rang Renee. I told her that we were getting married. She was over the moon Bella. You may have thought that Renee would be like Charlie but she wasn't. Trust me. I also told what happened with Charlie and she was furious. She was going to ring Charlie and have a very good word to him. I know your probably thinking why I did this but I did it because I didn't think that you were up to it, but also Renee seems to be a lot more understanding then Charlie. I also didn't want Charlie ringing up Renee telling her all these lies about what happened etc." Edward said in a hurried voice
I couldn't believe what he did. I truly loved him. To have the courage to stand up to my mum like that. Well to tell her anyway, he is truly amazing.
"Thank you Edward, I can't believe that you did that. You don't know how much that means to me." I said while giving him a hug.
"That's alright love" Edward said a little shocked
Edward seemed a very bewildered. I think he expected a very different reaction. I laughed.
"What is it Bella" he asked
"Your reaction" I replied
"What bout it?" he asked
"Well for one you seem a little shocked" I said while trying to contain a laugh
"Maybe that's because I thought that you would go off your head at me and then you ended up saying thank you" he said
"Ahhhh, ok so that's why. That's perfectly understandable. Now if you excuse me I have got wedding plans to help Alice with." I said
And with that I left the room. The wedding was in a month and we still had sooo much to do. But knowing Alice it'll be done within the week. I walked into the kitchen to find paper everywhere with designs for the wedding and the reception.
"Hi Alice" I said
"Hey Bella, your finally up. We have so much to do. What do you think about Emmett being the priest? He'll have to get a licence of course but that should be no problem." Alice said.
I laughed, Emmett being the priest that would be a site.
"Sure Alice, I think that Emmett being priest and the one to marry Edward and I would be very official" I said and with what I had just said both Alice and I had to laugh.
"It would be, plus I think it'll be a great lesson for Emmett because he'll have to be all serious and that's one thing that he can't do." Alice said while trying to contain her laughter.
I laughed. It would be a true punishment for Emmett. But I'm sure he'll get me backed once I'm turned. Well I thought. Better get stuck into the wedding plans.
Please review! Tell me if it's good or not and tell me whether I should keep on writing the story. Also tell me what you want in the story. Next chapter is the Wedding. I'll try get it up tomorrow
