So, I'm back! Please tell me what you think of this chapter and I'm going to let you know, its pretty much chapter 4 of Eclipse. And yes, I understand if it's a little choppy, but it WILL get better!

Disclaimer: (this is for the rest of the story!!) I'm sorry. I don't own anything…

Chapter 1 Invitations

Ben was faking tendonitis, so I was stuck addressing graduations invitations. Bella was coming over this afternoon sometime to help. Charlie had ungrounded her 2 days ago. Austin was coming over to pick up Ben so they could go to the movies.

"Austin should be here soon Ang."

"Okay, Ben. I love you." I leaned down to kiss him, then a car pulled up. I assumed it was Austin, and apparently so did Ben, since he ran down the stairs ahead of me and opened the door, "Hey Bella!"

"Hi Ben. Er, is Angela here?" Did she think I forgot her coming over to save me from never being able to write again?

"Bella!" I cried, as I was half way down the stairs as Ben said, "Sure." Austin was here. I didn't hear a car, but Ben was looking around Bella. I walked over to Ben to say good-bye to him again. "Austin's here," he said as Austin honked. He was late, and I guess he didn't want to miss any of the movie. "I'll see you later. Miss you already," he said and gave me a kiss. Austin honked again, and Ben pulled away. "By Ang! I love you!"

I blushed. I don't know why, but I did. I recovered from my daze in time to wave until they were out of sight. Then I turned to Bella, she had no idea what she was getting into. We had so many invitations to address it wasn't even funny. "Thank you for doing this Bella. From the bottom of my heart. Not only are you saving my hands from permanent injury, you also just spared me from two long hours of plot less, badly dubbed martial arts film," I sighed.

"Happy to be of service," she looked a little panicked. I headed for my room kicking toys out to the ways as I went. "Where's your family?"

"My parents took the twins to a birthday party in Port Angeles. I can't believer you're actually helping me with this. Ben's pretending he has tendonitis." I smiled, remembering that phone call.

"But Ang, I can't help you address invitations! I have tendonitis! My doctor says I can't write for two weeks!" he insisted.

"Ben, I know you don't have tendonitis. You can stop the charade now," I giggled.

"I'm not pretending!"

"I saw you writing with you right hand today."

"Umm…I'm left handed?"

"You don't have to help if you don't want to. I'll see if Jess or Bella will help."

"You're the best Ang!"

"I don't mind at all." Then I stepped aside so she could see the pile of envelopes. "Oh!" she gasped. I turned to look at her, I would understand if she didn't want to help anymore. "I thought you were exaggerating."

"I wish. Are you sure you want to do this?" There had to be at least a hundred envelopes there.

"Put me to work. I've got all day."

I divided up the envelopes and pit my mom's address book between us. I wonder where Edward was? Bella's usually with him, and now that she's not grounded, I thought she might want to be with him…I know I would want to be with Ben. "What's Edward doing tonight?"

"Emmett's home for the weekend. They're supposed to be hiking," she said it like there was really something else going on.

"You say that like you're not sure." She shrugged, maybe not. "You're lucky Edward had his brothers for all the hiking and camping. I don't know what I'd do if Ben didn't have Austin for all the guy stuff."

"Yeah, the outdoors aren't really for me. And there's no way I'd ever be able to keep up."

I laughed. "I prefer the indoors myself." Something didn't seem right. Something must be bothering her. She was jumpy. "Is something wrong? You seem…anxious."

She smiled, "Is it that obvious?"

Yes. "Not really. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I'll listen if you think it will help." She seemed torn about telling me. "I'll mind my own business."

"No, you're right. I am anxious. It's…it's Edward."

Was he moving again? "What's wrong?" It would kill Bella if he moved again. Or maybe they were going to different colleges.

"Oh, he's mad at me."

What? "That's hard to imagine. What's he mad about?"

She sighed. "Do you remember Jacob Black?"

The one who helped her out of her zombie state? The one she would spend all her time with when Edward was gone? Edward was jealous. "Ah."

"Yeah."

"He's jealous."

"No, not jealous…Edward thinks Jacob is a bad influence, I guess. Sort of…dangerous. You know how much trouble I got in a few months back…It's all ridiculous though."

I shook my head. She had it all wrong.

"What?"

How could she not see it? "Bella, I've seen how Jacob Black looks at you. I'd bet the real problem is jealousy."

"It's not like that with Jacob."

"For you maybe, but for Jacob…"

She frowned. I could tell she was trying to believe me, but she couldn't. "Jacob knows how I feel. I've told him how I feel."

"Edward's only human Bella. He's going to react like any other teenage boy." Bella's so observant. How could she not see that he loves her, unless she's doesn't want to believe it. I patted her hand. "He'll get over it."

"I hope so. Jake's going through a rough time. He needs me."

"You and Jacob are pretty close. Aren't you?"

"Like family."

"And Edward doesn't like him…that must be hard. I wonder how Ben would handle that?"

"Probably like any other boy."

"Probably." It looked like Bella wanted to tell me something, but couldn't. "I got my dorm assignment today. The farthest building from campus, naturally." We proceeded to talk about college and she promised me we would keep in touch. She helped me put stamps on them while we waited for Ben to come back. "How's your hand?"

She flexed her fingers. "I think I'll recover full use of it…someday."

The door slammed downstairs. "Ang?"

"I guess that's my cue to leave."

"You don't have to go. Though he's probably going to describe the movie for me…in detail."

"Charlie will be wondering where I am anyway."

"Thanks for helping me."

"I had a good time actually. We should do something like this again. It was nice to have some girl time."

"Definitely." Although I wasn't sure when.

Ben knocked lightly on the door. "Come in Ben."

"Hey Bella! You survived!" he looked at the pile of finished envelopes on my desk. "Nice job. Too bad there's nothing left to do. I would have..." he trailed off. "Ang, I can't believe you missed this one! It was awesome. There was this final fight sequence—the choreography was unbelievable! This one guy—well you have to see it to know what I'm talking about—"

I rolled my eyes at Bella.

"See you at school."

I sighed. This could take a while. "See you."

"—but he did this back flip and I can't believe you missed it Ang! How was your day? I would have helped if there was anything left to do."

"It was fun. And I thought you had tendonitis?"

"Oh yeah."

I laughed. "I love you anyways."

The door slammed again. "We're home Angela!" my mom called.

"I'm up here mom!"

"Is Bella still here?"

"She just left and Ben's back."

"Did you get all the invitations done?" she cracked the door open.

"Ya. We even got them stamped. They can go in the mail tomorrow."

"Good job honey."

So there's chapter 1! I wrote it fast so there might be a few spelling issues, but the next chapter should be up soon, and the action is going to start next chapter!! Please review!!
