The Outsider

Sides Taken

For the past week Bella has been trying to figure out what the Cullens are and I think she has finally figured it out because my dad just told me that Bella is dating Edward Cullen. I found it disgusting that she actually would date him after knowing what he is. A blood sucking vampire. I shook my head at the thought as I leaned against the wall. Dad was sitting in his chair getting ready for Billy to come over for the game. "I don't like him." I told dad and he nod. He knew who I was talking about. Edward had just left now and I really didn't like him.

"Me either."

"Yeah, but you're friends with Dr. Cullen."

"Doesn't mean I want a boy around my daughter." I frowned and looked over at my dad.

"What if I started dating?" My father eyes snapped to mine in shock.

"Are you dating a boy? Is this what this is about? Who is he? How old is he-

"Dad." I said sharply, cutting him off his ranting of questions. "I'm not dating anyone. I was just asking?"

"I would shoot any boy that went near my princess." I rolled my eyes and slipped onto his lap.

"Daddy, I'm not your little princess anymore. I'm going growing up and I'll want things like that. I just want you to understand that." He sighed and pulled me close to him.

"I know, baby girl. So... Is there a boy who you're interested in?" He asked hesitantly.

"Um... You know the Clearwaters really well." My dad's eyes snapped up to mine.

"Sue's boy? He's only 15." I blushed.

"Yeah... he's only two years younger and-

"You like him?"

"Daddy." I sighed.

"He's a kid-

"He's sweet. I really like him okay daddy. He's sweet, he cares about everyone, and he would do anything for those he cares about. He's a great guy, daddy, why can't you just think about it."

"That's the point, Ams, he's not a guy, he's a boy." I frowned and looked away.

"I knew you would do this. It's why I didn't want to tell you." I went to get up, but his arms tightened around me.

"Now, honey, don't go getting upset with me. I just want you to make the right decision." I sighed and looked at him.

"I know you worry about me, but Seth wouldn't hurt me, he-

"I know he won't, but he's a kid, Amy. You need someone your age." I groan and fell back in the chair.

"What does it matter if it's meant to be, daddy? He could be the guy I'm meant to spend my entire life with and you're saying not to go for it because he's two years younger? You wouldn't be saying this if it was the other way around."

"No, then I'd be saying don't go for him because he's dangerous because he's two years older." I glared at my father. I never once was angry at my father. I understood his reasoning whenever we disagree on things, but right now there was no reasoning other than the fact that I'm his daughter and that I like someone.

"Daddy, I like Seth a lot. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to change my mind." My dad sighed and kissed my temple.

"I know, you aren't sweety but wait at least to see if you two even end up dating and then we'll have this argument." I frown, but nod as he told me this.

"Fine. I think Billy's here. I'm going to go let them in."

"I'll come with." The two of us got up and headed out the door to see Billy and Jake talking with Bella.
