It's been 2 months since he left me and my family left me. I was instead a plaything to him, I believed that but not the part about my family. But, they left too. I knew it wasn't long till he left, but I felt like I belonged in the family there. I decide, today is the day where I won't let it affect me anymore, I'm going to become the New Bella; more confident, outgoing, passionate, and so much more. I walk downstairs and see my dad is downstairs.

"Hey dad!" I feel as if I need to reconcile with him after sort of neglecting him.

"Hey Bells, you doin' okay?" He asks skeptically.

I giggle and nod. I go fix something to eat for me and then I turn around to my dad, "Have you had dinner yet?" He shakes his head no and I turn back around to fix both of us dinner. I get out fish and prep and cook that. I also fix rice, salads, and some bread. I can feel my dads eyes on my the entire time, probably judging me. I fix both of our plates and set them down in front of us. I head to the fridge and me some lemonade and my dad a coke.

"I need to go on a grocery run, don't I dad?" I laugh as I sit down.

"Umm, Bells, not that I'm not happy about this, but what happened?" He asks. It was bound to come out.

"Dad, I'm done feeling sorry about myself. I'm upset that they left, not that Edward left. I knew our relationship was basically over. I'm becoming the Bella I should've been a long time ago. I need to become myself again and become more involved in school, starting with getting back into music. Since it is pretty early into the year, I'm sure I can still audition for Glee (Guys, I know this reference, and I thought it would be perfect!)"

"Bells, this is amazing, both the food and your story!"

"Great, so since tomorrow is Saturday, I'm going to spend the entire weekend redoing my room, my wardrobe, and finally getting a haircut, is that okay?"

"Bells, it's okay with me. I have the weekend off, so I'll help you with your room. I just want you to be happy." He smiles.

I get up and hug my dad, "Thanks!" I give him a kiss on the cheek. We continue eating and talk about everything. When we are both done, I wash dishes and my dad and I plan out what my new room would look like. On a certain budget. We decide on something then he gives me money for a haircut and for some shopping. I go upstairs and put it in my purse Alice gave me that I am going to start using. It has fringe on it and it is a cross body bag. I go through my closet and through out everything that Alice didn't give me or didn't approve of. I put those in bags to get them to donate to Goodwill. I head to shower and change into yoga pants and a T-shirt. I head to bed and await this weekend to happen.

The Next Day

I wake up to a knock on my door, my dad opens the door.

"Hey Bells, you might want to get up and get everything done today. Your furniture for your bedroom and people to help will be here in 30 minutes. I see that you cleaned everything last night. nice job."

I get up and put on some shoes to get everything out and ready. My bags for donations are already in my truck and my things are in another room. About 30 minutes later the people are here, I was okay with my room color, which was a blue color. I now have a full bed with a white headboard, white and black bookshelves, and a huge white corner desk. That's about it, we got it as a trade for all of my other furniture. Now that it was set up, I put on my bedding; a white and blue cheveron bedding with a few pillows to match it. I put everything back into it's place and I get changed into black skinny jeans and a white sweater and black flats; all thigns that Alice got me. I grab my purse and head downstairs.

"hey dad, I'll be out for a while. Do you need anything on my grocery run?"

"Nope, just get the good and healthy stuff. We do need to eat healthier, don't we Bells?" He laughs and goes to watch the game. I laugh as I head out to my truck. I first head to Goodwill and drop of my donations. Then to the salon for my hair cut. I decide to go all out. I get my haircut to my collarbone with layers and get it died ombre fading into a nice auburn color. I love it, so next it the mall, where I don't but much. Just some jewelry and makeup. I ordered some clothes and things when I was with Edward that should arrive today. I then head to the bank and transfer the rest of funds to my card, which I already had a lot on since I didn't go shopping and thanks to my family... My family.. Don't Bella, don't go there. I go grocery shopping and decide to fill up the kitchen with everything needed. I end up buying about $100 worth of food, for home and so I can pack my lunch. I head home with everything in my truck and text my dad that I'm home when I get there.

"Bells! I love the hair, it looks good on you!"

"Thanks Dad! Now let's get this food in the house and I'll fix us dinner" We get everything in the house and put away after about 45 minutes. I fix us grilled chicken with salads and mashed potatoes. I also make us more lemonade. After I set down everything, we start talking about our days and how they went. He asks me how my shopping went and I tell him I didn't get much because of a few packags that should arrive soon.

"Oh that reminds me!" Dad gets up and goes to the living room and when he comes back he has a huge box with him, "This came for you today!" He sets it down and I just laugh.

"Oh, those are my clothes and other things for school that came in today, thanks!" We continue eating and just have conversation, afterwards I clean up and Dad decides to go to bed and I go to my room and carry my stuff up there in many trips. I take everything out of bags and boxes and put them in their rightful spots. I get my new makeup organizer out and put it on my desk with my mirror I got. Everything has it's own little spot. I find a photo album with pictures of me and my family, the Cullens. There is one of me and Edward, and one of me and Alice, one of all of us and one of Emmett and I. I smile when I get to that picture, I always secretly liked Emmett like a crush, but I pushed it aside because he had Rosalie and he would never like me... Well more than a sister that is.. I put each picture in a picture frame and put them on my shelves and get changed to go to bed. I put on yoga pants and a college t-shirt and head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.
