   It has been a few weeks since the night I told the Cullen's about my secret. I have gotten closer with my guard, and they seem more relaxed. Edward and Olivia found out that I'm a queen. He flipped his shit though, saying that this was even more of a reason I couldn't be trusted.

I have been getting closer with Charlie, he's been really sweet. I still had to go to school to keep up my façade with Charlie, which sucks. Although, I have used these few weeks to practice more on my fighting skills. I needed to learn some hand-to-hand combat. Arya was more than happy to teach me, and I have also started learning Italian.

Things have been calm lately, which is weird. It's Olivia's birthday soon. Alice has demanded that I come to the party even though I hated my replacement. Although, we came to an agreement. I would come to the party, but I would in no way, shape, or form have to deal with Olivia or Edwards bullshit.

If it's her birthday soon that means that the Cullen's will be leaving. I was actually thinking of going as well. I don't know where yet, but all I know is I'm leaving.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to travel, but when I got interested in medicine it all changed. Now that I'm not a doctor and I'm a teenager again, it's giving me a chance to start over.

Emily and Arya have agreed to travel with me; like they had a choice. I just have to get it passed Charlie.

I walked downstairs and see him sitting on the couch. I took a deep breath before walking down the remaining steps and towards my biggest obstacle yet.

Getting a father's approval.

Once I was standing in front of him he looks up at me. "What's up, Bella?" He asks with a curious expression. "I know that its asking a lot, but can I go traveling with two friends for a few weeks?" I ask hopefully. His eyebrows furrowed, and I felt bad.

When we went to play baseball, all I left was a note saying I went on a girls trip. Now I wasn't giving him much notice either. "Traveling? Like out of the state?" He asked skeptically.

I sit down next to him on the decently big couch before fully explaining. "I'm not fully sure. My friends Arya and Emily are siblings. We became friends when I went with the Cullen's for our girls day. Their parents are taking them on a trip, and they asked if I wanted to go. I said that I wanted to ask you first, to make sure it was ok. They haven't told me if it's out of state or out of country." I mumble the last part pushing my limits with the poor man.

His eyes went wide, and he turned to me shocked. "Out of the country? You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to let you out of the country with people that I haven't even met!"

I smile a bit because I know how protective he's being. "You can meet them if you want. I was going to introduce them to you anyway. I knew that you would probably want to meet them. The trip would only be for a few weeks. Can I go out of country if you like them?" I asked as he shakes his head objecting.

"I want to meet them as soon as possible! I don't want you going out of the country! What if you get hurt? How can I protect you if you're in a different country?"

I giggle and standing up with a smile. "I'll have them come over, just let me call them." Charlie quickly stands up as well, slightly alarmed. "You're calling them now?" He asks before glancing around the room, as if he were worried about the non-existent clutter.

"You wanted to meet them, and I really want to go on this trip. I have always wanted to travel, but I never could with mom. I also wanted you to approve of them because they are close friends."

He sighed before brushing off his shirt; as if to say, 'bring it on'. I walk outside the house, immediately calling my guards. "Emily, Arya, I need your help."
