Chapter 7

---

Another week passed by and Bella and Edward continued to get closer. Edward would come to pick up Bella regularly and (M/N) would tag along as well sometimes. He also didn't mind having the truck to himself more often, he had the option to drive out alone much more now. Speaking of which, they were currently washing the truck, with Edward perched on the roof.

"Can you at least try to act normal? We have neighbours," Bella sighed.

He ignored her, deciding instead to pivot the conversation to something neither of them were expecting. "Come to my place tomorrow."

Bella and (M/N) looked at each other. "Both of us?"

"Yes."

"Your house? With your family?" Bella asked.

"Yeah." Edward jumped down and wiped down the dented front fender. Then reached under it and, with his bare hands, easily popped a large dent out of the truck's body.

"I get Bella, but why me?" (M/N) questioned.

"I know you two are very close. I've rarely ever seen you apart. Having your approval is just as important as having my family's," Edward explained. "So it just makes sense for you to come along."

"But what if they don't like us? Isn't being close to humans against your family's rules or whatever?" Bella asked.

Edward couldn't help but smile. "So, you're worried, not because you'll be in a house full of vampires, but because you think they won't approve of you?"

"I mean, you didn't exactly make them out to be super evil or anything," (M/N) said.

Edward's smile died as he looked around.

"What is it?" Bella asked.

"Charlie's around the corner, and..." he trailed off as a black car came from around the corner and pulled over. "I'll come get you both tomorrow."

Edward hopped into his Volvo, eyeing the people in the other car.

It was Jacob and Billy–the latter had an intense expression. There seemed to be immense tension as he and Edward watched each other. Jacob looked on questioningly. After Edward was gone, Billy's expression lightened up as his eyes moved onto the step-siblings. Jacob got Billy's wheelchair out from the back and helped him into it.

What was that about? (M/N) thought.

"Hey, you here to visit your truck?" Bella joked.

"It looks good, you got the dent out of it," Jacob said as he examined it. Then he turned to (M/N). "Your head's better?"

(M/N) smiled. "Yep, been better for a while now. No more annoying bandages plastered on my face, stitches completely gone. Freedom feels great." His shoulder was also healed, but to everyone other than Bella and Edward, that injury had never existed in the first place.

"I'm surprised you managed to go a whole week without hurting yourself again," Bella said. "I was half expecting you to just jump off a cliff at some point."

"You're just hilarious, aren't you?" (M/N) crossed his arms. "You should join a circus. I mean you're already such a clown, all you need is the make-up."

Bella playfully punched him as Jacob laughed at their antics.

"I actually came to visit your flat-screen. First Mariners game of the season," Billy said, before smirking. "Plus, Jacob here has been bugging me about seeing you again."

It was (M/N) and Bella's turn to laugh as Jacob shot his dad a look. "Great. Thanks, Dad."

"Just keepin' it real, son," Billy said.
