"I'm only trying to help you." He tried again.

"Just stop!" She shoved him away from her and managed to sit up. Finally catching her breath. She quickly turned to look at Mike angrily. "Stay away from me." She was serious and turned her head away to pick up her things. She noticed him walking off back to class out of the corner of her eye as she stood. Once standing she finally took in the quality of the pain she felt in her back. Groaning she continued on her way.

Bella looked up as the bell rang. She had not even made it to the office and wondered exactly how long Mike had kept her there talking. Opening the door to the office she walked over to the desk and set the note down. She had to make it quick because she knew Edward would be waiting for her.

"What's this about anyways?" She asked the lady at the desk.

"Your father is here to see you. Said he was bringing you something you needed for biology" Smiling she went back to helping the other students who were waiting in line.

Thats when she saw Charlie walking from the back office in her direction with the principal following. Without thinking she turned and walked out of the office.

"Bella, hold up." Charlie called as he ran to catch up with her.

She did not turn to him, just wished that he would disappear and really wasn't there. The thought was broken when he caught up and grabbed her shoulder to stop her. She sighed and was forced to face him when he stepped in front of her.

"I'm sorry Bella, just listen to me for a minute." He pleaded.

"Yeah how many more times am I going to hear that today? Lets just not. Ok?" She shut her eyes trying to control her emotions. What else was going to go wrong today? she thought.

"Just give me a chance to expl-" She cut him off by shooting a glare in his direction and shouting.

"Explain what?! I don't want to hear about how sorry you are! or how it's mom's fault you're a drunk. You have a problem and I don't want anything to do with you until you get things figured out, just leave me alone." She turned her head to try and hide her tears. No matter what she said or how she felt she still lost her father and feared things would never be the same between them. She was certain he was going to say he had changed and things were different, but she couldn't trust him just yet, she needed time.
