(Bella's POV)

Ever since I found that Edward and his family were vampires, I felt guilt.

Was I missing something?

I have everything I wanted.

Oh, well. Spending the day with Edward will take my mind off it.

Edward Cullen plus tree climbing equals to a perfect day.

Charlie already left. I'm still at home, waiting for a shiny Volvo to come.

Why did I wake up so early? It's 4:45 in the morning.


(Freddie's POV)

Ah, another beautiful day in Seattle. The warm sun rising, the blue skies showing. But it is odd.

Too odd...

Oh well, I have to enjoy the day before it fades away.

Got to meet Carly today.

Oh, that rhymes.

Getting properly dressed before I go there.

I knocked on Carly's door.

Carly greeted me, "Hi, Freddie. Your here very early."

"Hi," I greeted back. "What's all that stuff doing over there?"

Carly shrugged. "We're going to meet Spencer's friends; Spencer didn't tell me who they where."

"Okay then, so what do you want to borrow from me?"

She always borrows my things, but I don't mind.

She responded, "I'm not borrowing anything today. We are going to meet Spencer's buddies in Forks, in the northwest side of the state."

I imagined where the house was. I can't picture it.

That's unusual. Though, I had one question.

"Are we going right now?"

Carly smiled. "Of course we are! You have to pack up really quickly if you want to come!"

I nodded and hurried into my room, packed up some of my clothes, my Pear Phone, and a few other things.

I also got my camcorder.

I came back to Carly with my stuff and a question, "Is Sam coming?"

"Yes, she's already in the car. We're just waiting for Spencer, when you showed up."

"Okay Carly, I prepared for the trip!" Spencer came out on his room.

He continued speaking, "So Freddie, you decided to join us."

I answered with a simple yes.

Spencer had no patience. "Well, what are we waiting for? It's five o' clock in the morning, and I'm hungry. It's a three-hour drive!"

During the road-trip, Carly fell asleep. I think she is in her sub-conscious state.

Sam was on the left, Carly was in the middle seat,and I was on the right.

She slowly moved her arms around me and leaned a little closer.

Is she hugging me?

I think she is...

How relaxing...

Ah, now this is what I call a perfect day.


(Bella's POV)

Oh, the phone's ringing.

It's Charlie.

"Hey, Bella."

"Hi Dad, why did you call?"

"Well, I forgot to tell you that my friend from Seattle is coming. I'm coming back home, okay?"

"Okay." I said before hanging up.

Another day ruined by 'Chief Charlie'.

It's only 5:30 A.M.

I hear a car parking. I looked to make sure. It's just a Cullen.

I need to sleep...


(Freddie's POV)

We've been traveling for hours now..

I have to ask a question.

"Um..Spencer? Are we close to Forks yet?"

"Almost, we're a few miles away. Just wait a little longer."

"Alright."

I can wait...

I am relaxed as long as Carly is near me.

Then, Carly murmured something...

I can't understand what she was saying.

Though I understand Sam very clearly, "Fredwardo...your...such...a...dork..."

Even if Sam is in her sub-conscious stage, she still calls me names!

Carly murmured again, but this time I heard it loud and clear.

"Sam...I...like...Freddie...very...much...I...just...don't...know...how...to...admit...it..."

"You just did." I answered quietly, trying to not wake her up.

"Oh...okay..."

I was worried, "You like me?"

She nodded, "Yes...I...do...asleep...or...awake..."

Now, my life is complete.

Spencer stopped the car. "We're here."

I didn't even realize that the car was moving.

That's a good thing...right?

"Carly, wake up. We're here."

She woke up. "Huh? Oh! Sorry for sleeping on top of you."

I chuckled. "It's okay."


(Bella's POV)

Ow, my head. I think I fell.

It's 8:00 already?

I fell asleep.

Oh right, I'm properly dressed.

I looked out of my window.

On one side of my window, it was Edward. On the other side, there were strangers.

Charlie opened my door. I asked, "Who are they?"

I pointed. He chuckled. "That's just my friend, Spencer. And the teenagers are his friends."

"Oh, they look nice enough to talk to me."

"Well then," Charlie said. "Come on, we don't have all day!"

Charlie and I went down and opened our door.

The three teenagers greeted me.

The brunette girl greeted me first. "Hi, I'm Carly, Spencer's younger sister."

She shook my hand.

The blond girl greeted me next. "And I'm Sam, friend of Carly."

The boy next to Carly also greeted me nicely like Carly.

"Freddie Benson, Carly's neighbor."

"Hi, everyone. I'm Bella. Charlie's daughter."

Carly said, "Who's that?" She pointed to Edward and his Volvo.

"Oh, that's Edward; my special friend. And that's his car."

Sam was looking at Edward. "Why is he special?"

Freddie was his name? Well, Freddie interrupted Sam's question.

"Can we go inside? Spencer is starving to death."

"Sure. Let me say something to Edward first. You guys go in without me."

They obeyed me. I moved toward to the smiling vampire.

Edward laughed. "What took you so long?"

"Had to meet Charlie's group of friends."

"Ah... Can I meet them too?"

"Yes, now come inside with us."


(Freddie's POV)

Bella is so nice, yet shy. Just like Carly.

Bella enters with her 'special friend', Edward.

The warmth from the house is comforting.

"Hello there, who may you be?" Edward asked.

"I'm Freddie, a technology lover." I answered.

"Ah." He replied. "Just like Eric."

"Who's Eric? Another friend of Bella's?" I questioned.

"Yes. He's nice. You'll meet him either today or tomorrow."

Bella distracted our conversation, "Um...Edward? Can I talk to you for a minute?"

He nodded and followed Bella up the stairs.
