Chapter 28 Teaser: Edward
“Swan Residence?” Riley’s voice echoed.
“It’s Edward.”
“I’ll buzz you in.”
The loud sound rang out as the gate slowly inched open and I drove inside. I parked the car and swung my keys around nervously in my hands as I walked up the stairs. I didn’t know if I should knock or just go in, but Riley opened the door before I could make a decision.
“Come in.” He held open the door and I stepped inside.
“Thanks. I just need to pick up a few things for Bella.”
His face contorted for a quick moment before he composed himself, but I’d definitely seen something. Almost like he was pissed about something. I don’t know if it was my confrontation with Charlie making me brave, but I took a step towards him.
“Just curious, where the hell were you at tonight while she was almost drinking herself to death?”
“She snuck away from me at the grocery store, what was I supposed to do about it?” His face was cold, unfeeling. Like he didn’t even care about Bella really. There was something behind the façade but it wasn’t something that had anything to do with her.
“You were supposed to go after her. You were supposed to call every fucker in town asking if they knew anything. You were supposed to go to every house….check every place she could be. I made your mistake once, but she didn’t end up in the fucking hospital.”
He took step towards me. We were so close now that my chest bumped against his. If he thought he scared me he was in for a surprise.
“You better watch yourself kid.”
“Or what?” I laughed. “You going to beat me up?” I started up the stairs towards Bella’s room. “Something’s going on man. I don’t trust you.” I pushed her door open. “And I’m going to find out what you’re hiding so you better watch yourself.”
“It’s Edward.”
“I’ll buzz you in.”

Chapter 27 Teaser: Bella
“Bella!” Jessica screamed. “Thank God I’ve been waiting for you to get here!” She shoved a drink into my hand and I smiled, completely downing it.
“Well I guess I’ll just have to catch up.” I winked and reached for one of the bottles. Fifteen minutes later I saw Jake walk through the door and I ducked into another room to avoid him. I knew he’d drag me out of here if he found me. We zoomed around for a while, like a game of cat and mouse. He rounded the corner and I grabbed the first person I could see and pulled them in front of me. “Hide me,” I laughed, starting to feel the effects of the alcohol already.
“Gladly.”
I looked up and saw James smiling down at me.
“Oh.” I stumbled. “Hi.”
“Hi.” He took a sip of his beer. “Who are you avoiding?”
“Jake.” I shrugged. “He wouldn’t let me stay here if he found me.”
“Oh I thought maybe it was Edward…”
I leaned into the corner and took another sip. “No not Edward,” I laughed under my breath and diverted my eyes to the floor.
“So you guys definitely aren’t getting back together?”
“No I don’t think so.”
“Good. Maybe now you’ll finally go out with me.”
I looked up and was surprised to see his face so close to mine. I didn’t know what I was thinking, but I tilted my head up. I couldn’t believe I was actually going to let him kiss me. I knew it would end badly. I knew I’d regret it. And just like everything else I didn’t care.

Chapter 26 Teaser Bella
Chances are the chapter will be up before most of you read this, but for my late night (or early morning depending on where you are) readers here you go.
“Miss Swan can I ask why you’re are not wearing a shirt.”
“You sure can sir. The whore bag of a person who is sitting in the tunnel right now has it.”
He leaned forward and sniffed. “Have you been drinking?”
“Define drinking,” I stumbled and almost fell.
“Woah…” Edward said, catching me again.
“Miss Swan I’ve about had it up to here with you,” Principal whatever his name is said.
“Well Captain you aren’t a very tall man,” I stammered.
“Bella stop talking,” Edward said softly.
“No!” I tried to pry myself from his arms.
“Miss Swan I’m putting you on a 3 day suspension. I would recommend that you take a serious look at the path you’re headed down and make some better decisions.”
“Well you need to make some better wardrobe decisions sir. That suit looks like it was born in the stone age.”
“You’re done here Swan. I’ll call your father to come pick you up.”
Oh shit. Call the cops. Bella Swan is drunk.
“Sir that isn’t necessary. I’ll take her home. I take full responsibility for her.” Edward grabbed firm hold of my shoulders.

Teaser from Edward Chapter 26
“Tell me the truth Jake.”
“Honestly. Not too good. But also honestly? I wouldn’t know. I only see her for a few seconds at parties and then she’s gone again. I don’t even think she’s talking to Alice anymore. She’s always with Mike.”
“Newton?” I scowled.
Jake nodded and glanced behind him as Newton passed us. He gave us a nod and smiled. My fists clenched at my sides and I tried to resist the urge to take all my anger out on him. I didn’t even realize I was subconsciously moving forward until Jake pushed firmly on my chest.
Eeek! Anyone have any ideas about what's going to happen?

Chapter 25 Teaser
“What’s wrong with you today? You’ve been tense the entire time I’ve been here.” She sat up and crawled over onto my lap to run her fingers through my hair. “Are you still mad at me about yesterday?”
“No sweetie I’m not mad at you.” I managed a smile, but couldn’t hold my eyes to hers.
“Okay then.” She grabbed hold of my face and turned it towards hers. “Kiss me.”
I licked my lips and slowly inched forward to press my lips to hers. But something was still off. And I knew she knew it too. I could feel her trying to put her all into it, but I just wasn’t…there. And I didn’t know how to get back. That jolt last night had altered me permanently.
Methinks a storm bigger than Hurricaine Charlie has made landfall. Thoughts?

Chapter 24 Teaser, Edward's POV
I sped through town and right past my driveway, wanting to avoid any interrogation by anyone. I had to cool down a bit or this was going to blow up in my face. I drove past the city limit sign, not even sure where the hell I was going. I just had to go. I had to keep going.
I barely noticed passing the sign for La Push, or First Beach. I screeched to a stop just before the land steeped down to the sand. There were a few people out trying to surf. They were crazy if you asked me. It’s too damn cold. I shut the car off and closed my eyes, leaning my head back in my seat.
I jumped as someone knocked on my window, almost slamming my head into the door. I turned my head and noticed Jacob standing next to my car. I rolled my window down and nodded.
“Hey Jake.”
“Edward. What are you doing here?”
“I have no damn idea,” I sighed.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“I’m in no mood for a heart to heart Jacob and even if I was it sure as hell wouldn’t be with you,” I snapped, not even realizing how terrible that sounded.

I'm pretty much an emo kid right now after listening to all this angst. Before you jump to any conclusions or send a mob after me just remember I'm an advocate for HEA. HEA. HEA. *rocks back and forth*

Chapter 24 Teaser
“Look Dad, I…understand. I really do. I know I need someone to protect me from whatever it is I need protecting from. But…not him. It can’t be him.”
“He came very highly recommended by Aro.”
“And I know you trust his judgment, but he almost left bruises on my arm the other night.”
“You didn’t seem to have a problem with Edward being physical with you.” His voice was completely monotone as he started back on his paperwork.
“That was…different.”
He sighed and looked back up at me. “Look Bella. You’re going to hate anyone who I hire because they aren’t Edward. I like Riley. He’s staying and that’s final.”
“Can I ask you one thing?” I asked.
“Sure.”
“Are you ever going to tell me?” I kept my eyes on him and I knew he realized what I was talking about. My whole life was being controlled by this unseen force. Something I may never know, even though I think I have a right to.
Charlie didn’t flinch under my stare. Not one bit.
“Okay fine,” I sighed and started to get up.
“Sit,” Charlie ordered.
*Eek he's finally going to tell her! Thoughts?
