Chapter 12

Bella spent the whole time Billy and jacob had visited worrying about whether or not Billy would tell Charlie that she was dating Edward. Billy did not tell Charlie anything at all, but he did warn Bella to "take care" around the Cullens before he left. The next day Edward asked a lot about the people that were involved in Bella's life like her mother, grandmother, past boyfriends, etc. At lunch Edward told her that he was leaving after lunch so that he and Alice, his sister, could hunt. He said that if he was going to spend the next day alone with her he did not want to take any risks of biting Bella. The rest of Bella's day went by slowly without him and she started to fret about what it would be like if she ever lost him. Mike asked her about the dance and Edward and she told him that Edward cancelled his plans for Seattle, which hypothetically he did, and that she was not going to the dance under any circumstances. On Saturday Edward was on her doorstep after Charlie had left and he told her where to go once they were in the car, Bella had decided that she was going to drive because his driving scared her. They basically drove to a faraway fringe of woods and started hiking to a place that was Edward's favorite place to be when it was sunny. They hiked for about two hours and finally came upon a shining grove with a stream, violet, yellow, and white lilies, and a magical aura surrounding it. Bella was so amazed she almost forgot the reason they came here, too see what happened when Edward stepped into the sun. Bella turned to face him and waited for him to join her in that magical grove.
