Ever since I was a little girl I had moved from place to place. By my third home I was tired of it. However I never complained, I knew my mom didn't welcome moving that much either. The only reason we even moved in the first place was because she had remarried two times already. I knew this one would work out because Max was very comprehensive and actually got my name right. He ate with us every night and you could see he loved my mom by just looking at the way he saw my mom. Presently we are living in Indiana I don't know how long this house will last but it's already been three months since we moved her, I imagine it'll be soon.

Even though I know that the move is inevitable I still hope it doesn't happen this time, I actually have friends here. I had never made friends in any of my other homes. Annabel and Jacob were the only friends I had ever had. I actually looked forward to going to school just to see them.

"What are we having for dinner?" My mom was in the kitchen making dinner and I was already starting to get hungry.

"We are having your favorite, Lasagna." My mom was trying to make herself sound happy but wasn't succeeding.

"Is something wrong?" My mom only made Lasagna when she had bad news for me.

"No, can't I make Lasagna for my only daughter every once in awhile?" My mom wasn't going to say anything.

"Yeah anyone can make Lasagna, so mom can I go over to Annabel's house later?" I was trying to change the subject.

"Oh sure honey, whatever you want, but wait is there going to be any boys there?" My mom was looking at me now.

"Just Jacob mom." my mom wasn't against boys she wanted me to find someone. She said that the sooner I started looking the easier it would be to find someone.

"Okay but be back no later than eleven o' clock." One thing that my mom couldn't stand was that I stay out later than her curfew.

"Hey what are we talking about?" Max said everything casually .

"Oh nothing just that Bella wants to go over to Annabel's house later." she paused, I noticed that he was giving her a look.

"It'll be better for her this way." I had no idea what they were talking about, what was going to be better?

"Mom what are you talking about?" I wanted answers now.

"It's nothing honey." My mom wasn't even looking at me she was looking at Max.

"Mom no!" she took hold of me, "I want a hug as much as I want to move again."

"Honey this isn't a move it's only temporary." My mom didn't get it.

"That's the problem, I don't want it to be temporary!" I turned around I went into the living room and got my coat, "Bye!"

"Wait where are you going?" my mom actually sounded worried.

"To Annabel's." I slammed the door shut I didn't want to be anywhere near them.

I quickly got my phone out. I dialed Jacob's number, I wanted to go to Annabel's place but I knew that she wouldn't be home. It was Friday Annabel's family had a

tradition of going out for dinner on Fridays. I found Jacob's number and pressed the call button. I was crying now..

Jacob: "Hello?"

Me: "Uh hi Jacob are you home?'

Jacob: "Yeah what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Me: "Sorry Jacob but I can't really talk now can I come over?" I was trying to sound out the words through the tears.

Jacob: "Were are you?"

Me: "I'm by my house."

Jacob: "I'll be right over, you think you can wait there for me?'

Me: "Sure, and thanks."

Jacob: "Whenever you need me just call, I'll always be there for you."

We hung up I just didn't know what to say to him. When I first got here Annabel was my only friend then he was the new kid and he was with us. However once we really got to know each other there was something there. That was the reason I didn't go out with guys. Jacob was the guy I had feelings for, but so did Annabel and I wasn't going to lose her friendship over a guy. I waited for a couple of minutes until I saw Jacob's car, he always had it shiny clean.

He stopped and got out of the car. "What happened?"

Before I could answer he was hugging me tightly, I hugged him back. when we were done hugging, we got in the car and drove away.

In the car the silence was over whelming. My tears were getting my clothes so wet I would need a change later but I din't want to go back to my house, not tonight.

"Jacob I'm sorry I know you must hate me for this." I was utterly worried that he was mad I constantly felt that he was in pain because of me.

"Not at all, I'd rather be a friend than nothing at all." He turned to smile at me.

"Thanks Jacob that makes me feel better." I was shocked at my honesty.

After a couple of minutes of silence Jacob looked like he was a bout to say something but stopped. I sighed no matter how hard we tried the attraction between us made it hard for us to be together without Annabel.

As if by magic he said, "I don't think we should let Annabel know that you're here with me." He was pulling into his drive way no one else was home.

"Yeah I don't think so either." I stepped out of the car,"Where are your parents?"

"Oh there out on some road trip thing." He said this while rolling his eyes, me and Jacob had always agreed that Road Trips were just a way to get you smushed up with your family in a car. I chuckled slightly not wanting to laugh at his sudden anger towards road trips.

"What?" I guess I had chuckled hard enough for him to hear.

"Nothing!" I bit my lip to refrain from laughing at him.

Before I knew what was happening I was tackled on the ground, my giggles flloated out into the warm air around us, and Jacob musical laugh hung in the air like snowflakes. I didn't know if it was because I was leaving or because he was on top of me and our bodies were closer than ever but I had the urge to kiss him.

"Jacob can I?" I asked hoping he would know what I was talking about.

Suddenly he looked serious, he nodded and I closed my eyes I felt his face moving closer and closer into mine. I was happier than ever. I could feel his minty breath on my face, he gently put his lips to mine and kissed me long and soft.

I opened my eyes as he lifted up off me, he sighed and said, "If thats the reaction I'm going to get every time I tackle you you are going to get tackled alot." He emphasized the word alot.

I wanted to stay there with him forever, but I knew we would have to go inside. Jacob got up and pulled me up bridal style I heard my stomach roar. Way to ruin the moment stomach! I laughed nervously not knowing what to do.

He chuckled then he said, "I think that Lil' Bella needs to eat!"
