She pulled into the long driveway, almost willing herself to turn around and go back, but it was too late for his sister had spotted her and came runnig towards her. She looked around for him and Rosalie, spotting them sitting at a picnic table, talking to another girl. Why did I come here? She thought, This is pointless.
"Bella!!!" Alice yelled, running towards the car. At the sound of her name, Rosalie looked around, and saw her sitting in the car. She smiled and waved at her to come over and join them. Bella parked her car on the side of the driveway. Here goes nothing, she thought, stepping out of her car. She waved to Alice and Rosalie before ducking back into her car to grab her bag and the watermelon she had brought for the party. She just stepped out of the car when she felt two little hands grab her waist.
"Hey, Alice!" She said, looking down at the five year-old giving her a hug. "I have to go give this to your mom, you want to come?" Alice nodded and followed Bella up the crooked path to his house. Alice stayed out on the porch while Bella went inside. Bella opened the door to see Esme putting table cloths on the tables and saw Emmett putting trays of food out on the tables. They looked up at the sound of the door opening and smiled at her.
"Bella, what a pleasure to have you come today. Thank you so much for joining us!" Esme greeted Bella warmly, as she always did. It was Esme's way.
"Thanks Esme. I'm glad I could make it. Charlie went to California for the weekend for a convention, so I'm glad I have a family to be with today.I brought watermelon for the party." Bella said, holding out the tray she had brought. Esme reached out to take it from her when Emmett came over and picked Bella up in a great big hug. She squealed, holding the tray up, hoping it wouldn't spill.
"Belly-bear! My favorite human! Where have you be-"
"Emmett! Put Bella down this instant! Don't let her hit her head on the ceiling!" Esme reprimanded. Emmett set Bella down gently, taking the food away from her and handing it to his mother.
"Sorry mother, I just couldn't help myself. It's Belly-bear! I haven't seen her sinc-"
"You haven't seen me since Wednesday, Emmett. That was only three days ago. And how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me Belly-bear?! Nobody else calls me that. Can you please stop?" Bella asked Emmett. He looked at her and rolled his eyes, smiling.
"Oh, Bella, sweet, sweet, anti-social-lonely-overly-sensitive Bella. No wonder no one else calls you that! The only logical reason for nobody else calling you that is because you haveno one else to call you that. Meaning you have no frie-"
"Emmett! I am not anti-social! I have friends! Angela and Rosalie, they are my two best friends! How can you say I'm anti-social? And I am not overly sensitive! You exaggerate so mu-"
"Why does everyone keep interrupting me?! I can't get a complete thought out before someon-"
"Emmett, don't interrupt people while their talking! You may miss something important!" Esme scolded. She turned to Bella. "Continue Bella, please."
But Bella just stood there, laughing at the expression on Emmett's face. He was staring at his mother with a look of betrayal and someone who is annoyed.
"Mother! how can you side with her! I'm yo-"
"Emmett! Let Bella finish!" But Bella couldn't talk, she was laughing too hard. Finally, she caught her breath.
"That's okay, Esme. I think I'm just going outside with Alice to find Rosalie." Bella gasped through her laughter.
"Okay dear, that's fine. I think she and Edward"- Bella flinched at the sound of his name- "are with Kate sitting at one of the picnic tables. Okay?" Esme said, not noticing how Bella changed at the sound of his name; how the little color that had been in her eyes left them quickly, or how Bella's smile left her face and how her laughter stopped, or even how her arms came up instinctively around her torso, willing herself not to fall apart. Neither Esme nor Emmett realized these changes.
"Thanks Esme." Bella walked out of the door to find Alice staring at him, Rosalie, and the other girl, Kate. Bella set her bag down on the porch and walked over to Alice.
"Alice, what are you looking at?" She asked the small five year-old.

Hey everybody! Okay, so i know i haven't updated my other stories for a while, but i had inspiration to write this. I will eventually update my other story, but right now, I want to focus on this story. I think it's pretty good, but then again, I wrote it! :p
Okay, so, this story is basicaly my life, starting from the Fourth of July. Of course somethings have been changed, like names and places so it could fit the Twilight catagory. Some of the people's in real life's personalities have been changed to fit how I think the Twilight characters would act. Everybody is slightly out of character in this story and everybody is human. Also, this is a day-by-day process, since it is based on my real life, and i will probably try to update at least once a week. So... Enjoy the story!
