New Moon: Edward returns from Italy before he talks to BellaBy: Dominique BalkcomAfter I was finished prying Bella’s fingers from my shirt, I stole onelast glance at her before I left her room to face Charlie. Will shetake me back? After finally seeing her after all of this time, afterall of the agony I experienced from being away from her, I knowthat I cannot bring myself to ever leave her again…….unless sheasked me to. It’s amazing, though, how being in her room againafter all this time feels natural. I haven’t been in a place that feltlike this since I left Bella.She’s been very quiet and thoughtful since our little reunion inItaly. I wonder what she was thinking about on the plane? Has shemoved on? Does she hate me? I wouldn’t blame her if she did. Iwouldn’t blame her if she never wanted to talk to or see me everagain. I would spend the rest of her life apologizing and beggingher to take me back if that’s what it would take. She seemed likeshe still loved me when we were in the lobby after being sparedby the Volturi. On the plane also……… A little……….. She washesitant. She probably just felt pity for me for trying to kill myself.If she has moved on, though, I
will
support her decision. It wouldkill me-metaphorically- but I would support her. All I want is forher to be happy. That’s all I ever wanted, but it seems that mylatest mistake, leaving her, only caused her more pain that I couldhave ever imagined. And on top of that, I had left her unprotectedwith werewolves around. Anything could have happened to her.But for some reason she’s not afraid of them. Of course. That is soBella. Leave it to her to become friends with
werewolves
. Ournatural enemies. The most dangerous creatures out there next tovampires………..Well, I guess I should face the music with Charlie now. This is theeasy part. The hard part is going to be facing Bella.I stood in front of Bella’s door with my hand on her knob listeningto Charlie’s thoughts before I faced him. He was standing rightoutside of Bella’s door waiting for me.
“What is taking him so long? How long does it take to lay her onthe bed and leave? The
leaving
part should be easy. That’s what 
 
he does best. I can’t 
believe
he had the nerve to show his facehere after what he did to my daughter…….” 
Charlie continuedwith his rant in his head that lead to a lot of profanities aimed atme.I walked out of her door and closed it gently behind me. Charliestarted to speak but I interrupted him….“Charlie, if you don’t mind, could you wait until we get down stairsbefore we have this conversation? I don’t want to wake Bella.” Iwhispered before he could speak and turned and walkeddownstairs before he had a chance to answer. I know nothingcould probably wake Bella now, as tired as she was, but I didn’twant to take any chances. She needs her rest.“
Who does he think he is telling me what to do? What gives himthe right……” 
Charlie’s thoughts shouted at me as he walkedbehind me down the stairs. When I made it downstairs, I got tothe door and turned to face Charlie. As soon as he met me therehe went off…..“What gives you the right to show your face here? You are
not 
welcome here. Do know how much pain my daughter wentthrough when you just up and left her? Left her, might I add, inthe woods. Alone. Lost. Do you know how long it took us to findher? Anything could’ve happened to her while she was out there.But that doesn’t matter to you, right.” If I could only tell him that Iwas the one who left him the note to tell him where she was. ThatI made sure that we didn’t walk too far in the woods so that shecould find her way back home on the trail. That his daughtermeant the world to me and her safety has always been my firstconcern. Her safety was the reason I was in the mess to beginwith. “And then
 you
get
 yourself 
in some kind of trouble and shehas to be the one to run off and help
 you
? Where were you whenshe needed help? It took her months to even get some color backto her skin after you broke her heart. Now you show up and it’sgoing to tear her up all over again. Haven’t you had enough of ruining my daughter’s life? Can’t you find some other girl’s life todrag through the mud? I can’t believe you think that you can justleave, mess up her life, and show up again like nothing everhappened? I hope you don’t think that just because she came to
 
help you that that means anything. I don’t want you here. I don’twant you around my daughter. I don’t want you to ever step footthrough my door again……….” Charlie screamed at me. He hadevery right to feel the way he did. And he was right abouteverything he said. I
have
messed up her life. In more ways thanhe will ever know. She deserved better than me…… Maybe Ishould just leave again. Before she wakes back up. I don’t wanttake her through what she has already been through because of me……..No. I can’t. I don’t even know how to leave again.Especially now with werewolves around. I will not leave herunprotected with those
dogs
here in Forks. I listened to everythinghe said without interruption and then I began to speak….“Charlie, I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am for hurtingBella the way that I did. You have every right to feel the way thatyou do about me. But nothing you say can make me feel worsethan I already feel about myself for leaving her. For hurting her. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her. My actions wereinexcusable. I am also sorry for being the cause of her leaving forthe past three days. I know I didn’t deserve her help. I’m sorry foreverything. You have no idea………” I said. The look on his facetold me that he could care less if I was sorry or not, even withoutbeing able to hear the same thing in his thoughts. He cut me off in the middle of my apologies….“Well, Edward, I really don’t care how you feel. Don’t come nearmy daughter ever again. I don’t even want to see your Volvo ridedown my street,” he said and opened the door, “Goodbye” I knewthat if I said anything else it would just make things worse so Isimply turned and walked out the door. It slammed behind me. Myeyes instantly flashed towards Bella’s window. I listened for herheartbeat to see if she was awake. The door slammed pretty hard.But it was slow and steady. She was still sound asleep.I walked back to the car with my head held low. I felt so worthless.My existence is worthless. I can’t do anything right. When I gotback in the car with Rosalie and Emmett, I dropped my face in myhands. They didn’t say anything to me, even though they heardevery word that was passed. They just looked back at me andthen drove off.
