Chapter 8

Bella's Point of View

"Dad what are you doing here?" I asked feeling the 5 stages of grief.

Denial; was I denying the fact that my dad was in this very room with me? A man that I haven't seen for well over 7 years, someone I vowed to forget.

Anger; who the hell did he think he was just storming into my hospital room like that. Walking right back into my life like nothing was wrong?

Bargaining; If I treat him like Renee treated him would he leave me be?

Depression; was this the only reason he came to me. Only if I was hospitalized? Nothing more?

And finally acceptance; he was here and I doubt that he was going anywhere anytime soon.

"I came for you Bells" he said. No one has called me Bells in years. I backed out of his grasp and I bumped into Edward. He put his arm protectively around my waist. It felt as though this was how it was supposed to be. Charlie looked at his arm and it's placement on my body.

"Can you excuse us for a minute?" Charlie asked Edward.

"No I can't leave her in this state" Edward said gripping me tighter. That just irritated me. what 'state' was I in?

"Just leave" I said. I sat down in the chair farthest from him. Gaining my confidence as I sunk into the seat.

"What do you want from me?" I asked crossing my legs as I gave him the best death glare I could conjure up.

"I just want you to come home." He pleaded

"Bull Shit!" I screamed "You had plenty of years to get me home, and now that Renee's not here you think I'm free bait, well fuck you and go to hell." I said. I stormed past him he grabbed my elbow

"You'll be back" he whispered. I pulled my arm back and left. I ignored everybody waiting for me in the waiting room and stormed outside. I went back inside and went straight up to Edward. I grabbed his jacket and searched the pockets for his keys. I took his car and drove myself home.

When I got to the house I went straight to my room. I turned the knob but the shit wasn't moving. Why the fuck was my door locked. After banging and kicking the door for a good 5 minutes I just sat and cried. I cried for my mom, I cried for my dad, and I cried for myself. This wasn't what I expected my life to be. I was supposed to be perfect at everything I did, but the reality was I'm the antithesis of perfect.

"Finally realized grand theft auto is bad."

"What do you want Edward." I said still shielding my face. I was probably looking blotchy and disgusting. Kind of like Alice.

"I'm way to awesome to be Edward"

I looked up; it was the other Cullen, Emmett.

"What do you want" I asked

"Initially I came for Edward's keys but. I also want to know what your damage is."

"Um my mom just died cut me some slack." I said.

"I say bullshit. Excuse my insensitivity" he said sliding down the wall.

"Why do you believe that" I asked

"Because for the past couple of weeks I've learned that you care for yourself and yourself only. The only time you do anything for anybody is when you get the greater benefit. And another thing, leave Alice alone. Before you say anything just remember you started this whole feud because you wanted something." He got up and left.

Considering I was such a dumb ass and didn't think of it before, I went into Edward's room and went through the balcony that connected our rooms and the guest bedroom. I went to my bed and slept, god did I miss this bed

I woke up to emerald eyes staring into my brown ones.

"Esme's waiting for us downstairs to join dinner" Edward said he got up to leave the way he came I grabbed his forearm.

"I don't want to go downstairs for dinner lets sneak out" I said sitting on my knees. He looked apprehensive.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked sitting next to me.

"I know this Mexican Grill down by the beach. Better than Chipotle; let me just get dressed"

I went to my closet and picked out a simple white v neck t shirt and a pair of black jeans. I grabbed my black leather jacket and went into Edward's room; I sat on his bed waiting for him

"Are you ready" I asked as he walked into the room.

"Yeah but we have to be really quiet. I don't want to get caught" he said

"What do you mean 'get caught' were just going to the beach it's only like 8:30" I said

"Ok just to be safe lets go through the back and we'll just use my car"

"Um were going through the front and were using my car" I said firmly

"I don't have to go. How about back door your car." He compromised

"Whatever lets go"

The car ride was awkward. I missed my Porsche I felt like I was neglecting my baby. I parked in the parking lot and we walked silently to the grill.

"How about you hold a table while I get us something. What do you want?" He asked

"Surprise me"

He came back with the weirdest looking burrito that tasted like sex. There was light conversation, we talked about stupid shit… like the weather, and things I did back home, friends family stuff like that.

It was getting pretty cold by the time we were ready to leave.

"You're not as bad as I thought." He said.

"What's that supposed to mean" I asked as we neared the car.

"Nothing bad" he said opening the door for me. I slid in the driver's seat. We drove to the house in a comfortable silence. He walked me to my room.

"Edward um I have something for you." I said going in my room to get my sketchbook. I took out a picture and gave it too him.

He accepted it.

"When you asked me what I meant… when I said you're not as bad as I thought… I meant your sweeter then I thought" He said kissing me on the lips.

"Buona notte e sogni d'oro" he said walking in to his room.

A/N: Um Edward said something about good night and sweet dreams. I'm not Italian I hope that's right. I just decided he should have some Italian ties because Italians are like sexy

Hope you Enjoyed :)
