Charlie’s POV
I sat watching the game. Red Sox vs. Chicago Cubs. The Cubs were leading 由 2 points and they were in the 8th ending. I was trying to keep my mind off of Bella and her boyfriend Edward. Bella is too young to have a boyfriend if 你 ask me. I didn’t want her to have a boyfriend until she’s at least in college. I must just be talking from a father’s point of view. No father wants to see his little girl grow up.
Well, I didn’t like Edward Cullen so much anymore. Ever since my little girl went into a depression, I’ve never been fond of him as I use to be.
Just then, the phone rang interrupting my thoughts. I answered it.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Hey, Charlie. It’s Billy. 你 watching the Red Sox game?”
“Sure am. Can 你 believe finally, the Cubs just might win a game?” I 说 chuckling.
“I never thought I’d see the day,” he said.
“So what’s your boy up to tonight?” I asked.
“Oh, he’s over at the Cullen’s place visiting Bella. Didn’t Bella tell 你 Jacob was going over there.”
“No, she didn’t. Maybe too busy. That poor thing has been working her butt off to pull her grades back up. Ever since her……Well 你 know,” I said.
“Yeah, I know what 你 mean. How’s she doing?” Billy asked.
“She’s doing a lot better. Surprisingly, she came out with straight A’s. I was real happy for her. We’re hoping she can get into some good schools. Get her out of this small town, 你 know?” I said.
“Yeah. Charlie, you’re not doing that so she can get rid of that boyfriend of hers, are you?” Billy 说 laughing.
“No. Actually, Edward has been the one bringing over all these applications for Bella. Do 你 know what school that boy wants her to go to?” I asked.
“No, what?” Billy asked.
“Schools like Dartmouth, Harvard, 大学 of Alaska, and some other big fancy schools,” I said.
“Wow. He must really want her to get a good job when she graduates.”
“Yeah. The only problem is if we’re going to have the money for it,” I said.
“Yeah, well 你 shouldn’t worry about that. That’s what student loans and scholarships are for,” he said.
“Yeah, she’s got some scholarships alright,” I said.
“Oh man! Did u just see that grand slam?” Billy suddenly boomed.
“Oh man, yes I did! Looks like the Cubs are definitely going to win. So much for the Sox’s perfect games. Their going to lose this one,” I said.
“Yeah, tell me about it,” Billy said.
“Okay, so back to our children. How’s Jacob doing? I mean with the whole fights at school and everything?” I asked.
Jacob had been getting into a couple of fights at school lately. Some of the teens there were picking on the Cullens and Jacob and his 老友记 had stuck up for them. I was glad Billy and them finally trusted the Cullens. Ever since Jacob broke his arm and leg in a motorcycle accident, they’ve started trusting the Cullens.
“Oh, he’s doing good. His leg hasn’t been bothering him anymore. Which is good. Dr. Cullen 说 his bone healed really good. And fast.”
“That’s good. I bet he’ll think twice about speeding down a curvy, wet highway again,” I 说 chuckling.
“Yeah, hopefully,” Billy said.
“Yeah, I nearly had a 心 attack when Jacob told me that Bella was riding on a motorcycle. But she didn’t complain about her punishment so I let her off early,” I said.
“Yeah. She’s a teenager. She was just having fun. 你 shouldn’t be so hard on her. I always make sure Jacob has a 头盔 on when he rides his bike,” Billy 说 chuckling.
“Yeah, I guess I’m just an overprotective father,” I 说 laughing.
Just then I heard a beep on the other line.
“Hold on, Billy. I got another beep. It’s probably Bella complaining about her party. Just one second,” I 说 laughing.
“Okay. Oh, hey, Jake,” I heard Billy say talking away from the phone.
“Hey, Dad. I need to talk to 你 now,” I hear Jacob say in the background.
“Okay, Charlie. Let me see what he wants while you’re getting that other call,” Billy 说 chuckling.
“Okay,” I said. I hit the flash button as the phone beeped again. “Hello?” I asked.
“Charlie, it’s Edward,” I heard Edward say. He sounded sad and depressed. Uh-oh. I didn’t like the sound of this.
“What’s wrong, Edward?” I asked suddenly tensed.
“It’s Bella.”
“What about Bella. Tell me now!” I said. Okay, now I was freaking out. Edward sad and depressed about Bella meant something bad happened.
“She’s been kidnapped,” he said.
