Chapter 1: The Phone Call

Bella's POV

I stumbled down the stairs, almost tripping every step I took, and rubbed my eyes trying to un-blur (AN: Don't know if that's a word! ;)) my vision. I hardly slept at all last night, the nightmares still keeping me an edge of sleeping, partly because Charlie isn't coping well without sleep and the fact that the nightmares really make the memories of them hard for me to handle.

On the kitchen bench, I found a note from Charlie. It said:

Bells,

Gone to the station, be back late.

Also, going fishing tomorrow with Harry.

Dad

Yep, my dad has a loss of words sometimes. Even in a note that he leaves he doesn't say much.

I noticed in the note that he hadn't mentioned Billy. I realized that Charlie must have still not been talking to Billy; remembering the conversation I heard that they had over the phone.

FLASHBACK

I was standing outside my bedroom door, in mid action of closing it, when I heard Charlie screaming at somebody.

"YOU ARE BLAMING IT ON HER! OH DON'T YOU DARE BILLY, IT IS NOT HER FAULT!"

It was the first time I had ever heard my father yell at anybody, let alone his best friend. I could tell that Billy was trying to reason with him, but eventually he raised his voice too.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! THAT IS NOT A FAIR THING TO SAY!" The more they spoke, the angrier they got.

"THAT'S IT! YES, GOODBYE BILLY!" He was about to hang up then shouted,

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT! GOODBYE!" This was the loudest that he had yelled into the phone and I could tell that whatever Billy had said, it truly offended Charlie. Billy seemed to try to apologize, but Charlie just hung up and slammed the phone angrily down onto the table, snatched his keys from the hook, heading for the door. He didn't say a word about where he was going, but yet, he didn't even know that I heard the argument that had just gone on.

END FLASHBACK

Assuming that my father was being extremely stubborn, no matter what Billy does, Charlie won't forgive him. So, the fishing trip with Harry would mean that Billy wasn't invited.

"Men can be strange sometimes." I sighed. I grabbed an apple and my keys and headed out the door. Once I was outside though, I realized that I had nowhere to go. Sunday's suck; yesterday I did all the washing and vacuuming and the shopping in an attempt to keep myself occupied but no I realize that there is nothing left to do and no where to go.

Since Jacob stopped talking to me and Billy refused to let me see him, I haven't had anyone to really talk to anymore. My 'friends' at school aren't all that fitting to my standards; well, maybe Angela is but I haven't spoken to her since before they left.

I stood outside the front door, contemplating my options and sighed, torn. Do I call Angela or do I go inside and try and find something to do. Oh, what the hell! I'll call Angela; see what she is doing. I pulled my phone out and dialled her number.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

It rang and rang and rang, until it finally went to voicemail, so I left a message for her, deciding it couldn't hurt to do so.

"Hi Angela, it's… ah… Bella, Bella Swan. I was…ah…wondering if you were doing anything, today…well, right now really, but, um, yeah, call me when you get this. Bye."

As soon as I said bye, I instantly hung up. Even though she couldn't see me, I was blushing like crazy. I could feel the blazing heat, burning my cheeks in embarrassment.

I had just slipped my phone into my pocket and was about to go back inside, when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and…

So, if you enjoyed, please review, it would be much appreciated!
