Things still weren't the best, specifically in the Swan house. Charlie had grounded Bella for going out of the country to save her boyfriend who made her miserable for months after he left. The Swan man despised the Cullen boy. And now there was an even bigger rift between his two daughters which made the father confused. He felt like he was out of the loop between the two girls and honestly didn't know if he wanted to be brought into it or not. It was like getting whiplash, one minute the two sisters seemed to have been getting along again and then suddenly, it was like the other one, mainly Althea, wanted to drag Bella down the stairs by her hair. But Charlie had a hunch that the main root of the issue was Edward Cullen.Charlie Swan tried not to question most things in his personal life. Even more when it came to his two teenage daughters. He wasn't going to try and understand teenage girls. It was a been there, done that kind of thing he refused to repeat. But he still was very confused about the situation between Edward, Bella, and Althea. The first time he met Edward was through Althea when she was seeing him, so to say. But now that the boy was with his eldest daughter, it made him wonder how that even came to be. And just why? What was so special about the asshole of a boy that got a grasp on both girls?
Something that became a new thing for the household was the amount of visitors that came and went. Charlie was almost always outnumbered when it came to the population of guys in the house, but now it seemed that it was always reversed. He wasn't stupid to know that Edward was still somehow getting into the house to see Bella besides when he would bring her to and from school. But Althea seemed to have not just Paul Lahote, the boyfriend Charlie favored, come around, but also their friends. He was already familiar with Jacob for obvious reasons though the boy had seemed to stop coming around frequently. Unbeknownst to him it had to do with the same reason why Bella and Althea were at war. Charlie had become more acquainted with Jared Cameron and Embry Call. He had known of Embry for a while but it was more of just through all of Althea's stories growing up when she would hang out with the guys. The older Swan man however, got quite the kick out of the Cameron boy. Specifically on one of the evenings the guys were hanging around for a couple of hours, Jared had gone upstairs to use the bathroom due to Embry being in the other one, but when Jared went to come downstairs he quite literally fell down. It brightened Charlie's night before he had to go into work and now he always jokes about it when he would see the boy.
In between their newfound residency in the Swan household, they continued to be at Sam and Emily's too. So whenever Charlie came home and his daughter wasn't home, he instantly knew where she was. And that's exactly where she had been in that moment, sitting on Emily's couch with her legs across Paul's lap. He had gotten back from patrol and had instantly thrown himself down beside the girl who had been watching television while writing her open-response answer for class.
