Chapter 1: Movie

*phone rings*

"Hello, Swan residence" Charlie spoke into the receiver.

"Hi, is Bella home?" A young lady said.

"Yes just one minute please" Charlie replied

"BELLA, phone, don't be long I'm waiting on an important call" he screamed at her.

Bella came running down the stairs wondering who was on the phone. Nobody had contacted her all summer. She grabbed the receiver from Charlie's hand.

"Hello?" Bella said wondering who was on the line.

"Hi Bella, it's good to hear your voice again" said the young lady.

" Ya yours too" Bella said knowing this voice was familiar but she couldn't put a name on her.

"Sorry I can't remember who are you?" Bella said.

"Oh, how silly of me, it's Dana Davidson" she said.

Bella tried to figure out how she knew Dana until finally it clicked. They had gone to school together and worked together at Newton's Olympic Outfitters.

"You worked at Newman's right?" Bella said. "Sorry I blocked out a lot of that year. What's up with you? How has your life been since graduation? "

"Pretty good, just home for the summer, I met the most gorgeous man while I was touring across Europe last year." Bridget expressed.

Charlie tapped on his watch with an angry expression on his face

"Hold on Dad, I won't be too much longer" Bella whispered, showing how unimpressed she was of her father's attitude.

"Sorry Dana, my Dad's expecting a phone call, I've got to go. Was there a reason you called?" Bella spoke.

"Ya, I was wondering if you wanted to go see the new Michael Caine movie with me?" Bridget said

"Sure, text me the time and I will meet you there." Bella said

"Ok, talk to you then" Dana said

"Bye"

"Bye"

"You can have the phone back now Dad." Bella yelled into the living room even though her father was asleep on the couch. When she yelled at him he sat right up.

With that her phone vibrated in her pocket.

*From 360-842-5412*

Sub; movie

So the movie is playing at the Lincoln at 5:10, 7:00, 9:00.

I was thinking the 7:00 showing and we could go out for coffee or something afterwards.

There's a cute little diner down the road from the theatre. TTYS

~* D*~

Bella walked up the stairs slowly wondering where Edward was. She hadn't heard from him since they broke up over him changing her. She wanted him and only him to change him and he didn't want her to become one of them at all so she said "I'm either one of you or we're not together at all". As far as she knew he was living somewhere in the Pennsylvania area.

Bella responded to the text when she got upstairs to her bedroom.

Sub; re: movie

Sure, 7 sounds good. I've heard good things about the diner.

Bella

She paced around her room trying to remember as much about Dana as she could. She knew she had one older brother, a step-brother, and a sister. Her parents, like hers, were divorced, and only her mom had remarried the last time she heard. Dana was also dating Tyler Crowley at the end of senior year. But hadn't she said something about meeting a gorgeous man she met in Europe? Bella had so many questions for Dana.

Why did she want to hang out with Bella of all people?

Where was she going come the fall?

Describe this gorgeous man she met in Europe.

And the list went on.

Bella looked at the clock and realized she didn't have a lot of time. It took half an hour to get to Port Angeles and it was already six-fifteen. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail and grabbed a coat to put in her truck.

"I'm on my way out" Bella yelled at her Dad. "I'll be home late, going to the movies with a friend from school. If Jacob calls tell him I'll call him later."

Bella rushed out the door and jumped into her truck. Her baby purred to life after trying to turn it on several times it finally turned on.

Thirty-five minutes later, after stopping for gas which just about took all of her money she had left. Bella finally got to the theatre with only a minute to spare. She went up to the ticket wicket

" One ticket for Gnomeo and Juliet please" she said.

The older lady took forever to get the ticket processed.

"That will be $7.00 please" she said.

Bella handed her exact change and was tapping her foot waiting for her ticket, the line was growing behind her as she was growing impatient.

"Here you go have a …" the lady continued but Bella was in so much of a hurry to get into the theatre that she didn't listen to what the lady had to say.

When she got inside she found Dana right inside the door.

"Hey Bella!" Dana smiled.

They met with a big hug.

"Let's go get seats" Dana said pulling Bella along.

Bella was still thinking where Edward was and what he was up to. For some reason he had been on her mind a lot the past little while. Even though she'd been dating Jacob for almost a year now, and could see a future with him, she still felt something for Edward.

"Bella! Earth to Bella!" Dana said her hand in front of Bella's face. Bella had stopped in the front of the theatre. The ads were starting.

"Come on there are two seats right here" Dana said pulling Bella with her.

An ad for a new car came on, followed by an ad for men's razors. Then the movie ads started, a cute little movie about a cat trying to find its owner and getting lost. It reminded Bella of the Disney movie Oliver and company. An ad about a love story between a prince and a normal street girl was the next in the long line of ads.

"Don't you hate how many ads they show?" Dana complained

The next ad topped them all. It took place in a small town in Washington, as far as they could tell. Different things in the ad looked familiar to the two of them. It was about a girl who was played by Kristen Stewart, and a boy who happened to be a vampire who was played by Robert Pattinson. Bella was shocked at the similarities between herself, her story, and this movie. And then the director's name flashed across the screen. Directed by Edward Cullen. Bella got up and ran out of the theatre. Dana ran after her.

"I have to go home. I'm sorry. I'm all of a sudden not feeling well. Maybe we can reschedule" Bella said running out the door. "I forgot how much I hate the movies" Bella laughed. She hadn't been to a movie since she went with Mike Newton and Jacob. That was one awkward night she remembered.

She drove as fast as her truck would take her. She thought of going home but instead took a turn at La Push instead of heading home. Tears of anger were streaming down her face. She pulled over to the side of the road not being able to drive anymore. She picked up her phone and texted Jacob.

Come get me.

I'm just off the reservation.

I can't stop crying.

B

Within five minutes Jacob was there.

"What happened to you?" He said opening the driver door, moving her aside and hugging her.

"He-he-he urgh"! She screamed. "How could he do this to me? How could he do this to his family?"

"Bella, hun, calm down. Take a deep breath, and explain it to me. Who did what, I assume it's the evil ex?"

Bella's head nodded slowly.

"Now what did he do?" Jacob asked.

"He made a movie of our time together and has now published it for the whole world to see. Anybody who lives around here would know who it's about and where it takes place."

Jacob held her tighter and rocked her slowly trying to calm her down.

"It's going to be okay. We will find some way to get rid of this movie. If I have to travel down to California with the gang to knock some sense into him I will. We could even sue him if you really wanted to get even with him." He said adding a laugh at the end.

"No, no, I was overreacting. Can you drive me home now?" she said cuddling into his side.

"Of course." He said holding her tight.

They drove home in silence. He had one hand on the steering wheel and the other arm wrapped around Bella and never let go the entire ride home.

Jacob turned off the car, and came around to open Bella's door.

"We'll find a way to get through this together" he spoke as he walked her to the door holding onto her shoulders. The evening ended with a great big kiss at the door. Bella stood on her tippy toes to reach Jacob's mouth. Their arms were wrapped around each other. He pressed hard on her lips. She never wanted it to end. He let go.

"mmkay I should go" he said. "call me if you need to talk, no matter what time." He said as he kissed her on the cheek and ran down the driveway.

"Don't worry I will" she said as he disappeared into the night.
