Hey! I'm new here, so don't hate.:) I was disappointed on how the Twilight Saga ended... so... I decided to make my own story! This is a TEAM JACOB story... sorry Edward fans, but I LOATHE Edward... so, yeah. I'll try to update whenever I can, but don't count on it. So... hope you enjoy!:D

Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Stephanie Meyer... I'm just responsible for the corruption of her story.;)

I was in a fog. He left, they all left, and now there was a huge hole in my chest. Charlie, mom, and Phil were all concerned. They didn't know what to do with me. Finally, one day, Charlie put his foot down.

"That's it, Bella!" Charlie practically shouted at me one morning at breakfast.

"What are you talking about?" I said robotically, not even bothering to look up from my untouched breakfast.

"You're going home!"

"Home? Dad, I am home," I was actually confused. I haven't really felt any emotion other than pain since they left.

"I mean you're going back to live with your mom and Phil. Baby, what you're going through, isn't normal. Its scaring the heck out of me, and you know Renee wants you back," Charlie said. I looked in his eyes, and there was true concern there.

"I'm not leaving Forks, Dad. I like it here. I'm not leaving my friends," I said confidently.

"Friends? Bells, what friends? When do you see your friends anymore? Name one time."

"School, yesterday."

"Outside of school," Charlie said, annoyed.

I stayed silent. He had me there. I hadn't seen anyone outside of school. Even at school, I don't really even "see" them. I just face front, and do my work.

"See, Bells? If you don't go live with your mom, at least let me get you some help," Charlie really was concerned. Wait, help?

"Help? As in, a shrink, you mean."

"Bella, listen. . ."

"No, Dad! I'm not going to go to a shrink! In fact, I'm, ah. . . going to go to Port Angeles with, Angela, afterschool today. She needs to go shopping and we might catch a movie," Okay, I'll admit it. . . that was a total lie, but, I guess I could make plans with Ang, right?

"Bella, you hate shopping," Charlie said skeptically.

"Never said I was shopping. I said Angela need to, and I'm going to go with her. You know, girl thing. It's getting late. I'd better get going," I said, before Charlie could question me further.

"Okay," Charlie said simply, "oh, and, Billy and Jacob are coming over tonight to watch the game. So, if you want to see Jake, I suggest you come a little early and not stay out too late."

"Okay," Jake and Billy were coming over? I haven't seen Jake in forever. I think I might just take up on Charlie's offer.

I rinsed my bowl, put it in the sink, said bye to Charlie, and went on my way to school.

When I got in my truck I saw Charlie walking out to his cruiser. He must be going to work early.

"I just got a call from the station. It's another bear attack. A hiker, this time. I would tell you that I'm might be home late but there's no reason. Bye Bells. Love you."

"Bye Dad. Love you too."

Gosh, another bear attack? These are getting to be a real problem. This is about the fifth time this month. I hope they find these bears soon. The whole ride to school I thought about the bears. What if it's not bears? What if it's. . . more. Something way more dangerous. . . but I wasn't going to think about that right now.

When I pulled into school, I saw Angela sitting at one of the picnic tables with Ben, Mike, Eric and Jessica. Oh boy, I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe I'll just ask her during homeroom. Yeah, that's a much better idea.

I took a deep breath. This was the day that I was going to try to get over Ed. . . .him. I think I'll stay away from his name for awhile. All of their names. I opened my door and stepped out. I hadn't noticed how nice it was outside. It was an unusually sunny day in Forks. I looked to see what I put on this morning, I wasn't really paying attention at all. I guess my mind knew it was warm. Under my jacket I was wearing a deep blue short sleeve shirt with a pair of faded jeans and, surprisingly, black flip flops. My hair was up in a pony tail, so I took my jacket off, threw it in the truck, pulled my rubber band out of my hair and shook it out.

I grabbed my backpack and started toward Angela and the rest.

"Hey guys," I said when I got to them. Mike and Eric just stared at me in awe. Ben only had eyes for Angela, but he still kind of stared, but not at me for how I looked, but how I was actually interacting with people.

"Bella! Hey! What's up?" Jessica said, seemingly excited that I was back.

"Oh, nothing. Same old, same old," I said simply, fake smiling. I wasn't totally healed yet.

"That's good. So, um, beautiful day, isn't it?" Mike asked, wiping the drool from his chin.

"My kind of day."

The bell for homeroom sounded. Ben said bye to Angela and Ang and I walked off to our homeroom class.

"How have you been, Bella? I've missed you," Angela asked as we walked. Wow, I guess I was pretty out of it. She sounds like I'm some long lost friend she hasn't seen in three years.

"I've been dealing with a lot of things. Today, my dad pointed out to me that I've been acting like a total zombie these past months, so I've decided that it's time to move on."

"Good for you, Bella."

"Thanks. So, I had something to ask you," I said, deciding it was a good time to ask her.

"Shoot," Angela said, seeming eager to know what I had to ask.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Port Angeles with me tonight, afterschool, maybe, if you didn't have plans."

"Oh, sure Bella. I don't have any plans for afterschool. We could go," Angela said, smiling.

"Okay, awesome."

I hadn't noticed that we talked all through homeroom. All of a sudden, the bell signaling the end of homeroom and passing time sounded. I said goodbye to Angela and walked off to my first period class, chemistry.

The whole morning blew by in one big blur. Before I knew it, I was sitting with Jessica, Angela, Mike, Eric, Ben, Lauren, and a few other people I didn't know that sat at our table. Mike, Eric and Ben were talking about sports, so I decided to find out what the girls were talking about.

"So, afterschool yesterday, Ben and I decided to go on a picnic at the lodge," Angela was saying, "on our way there, we saw. . . something. We're not sure what it was. A bear maybe? I don't know. It was jet black, and huge. Standing on all fours it was still taller than a human."

"Come on Angela, please, do you honestly think that we're going to fall for that?" Jessica said, and Lauren nodded in agreement.

"No, no. She's right. My dad's been getting calls from the station about bear attacks. There's been about five this month. She's not lying," I said, defending Angela. Lauren and Jessica stared at me in shock. Jessica because she thought I was insane for agreeing with Angela, and Lauren because she didn't know I was getting over him, AND because she thought I was insane for agreeing with Angela.

Angela smiled at me, mouthing thank you. Well, can't please them all, right?

Hope you enjoyed! Next will be Angela and Bella's trip to Port Angeles. AND, if you haven't noticed, I kinda sorta tweaked Bella, just a little. She needs to be more out there! AND AND... this story will probably not follow Stephanie's story line. Just a little heads up... Review! Tell me what you though!
