"Bye bells. I'm gonna miss you kiddo." Charlie said awkwardly.
"I'll miss you too, Dad," I said giving him a one-armed hug.
I was just about to leave for college in New York City at NYU. My best friends, Alice, Rosalie and I were taking a road trip to the university. We all were going to share an apartment just off campus.
We loaded up the bed of my truck excitedly and put the tarp over our luggage. The boys, Emmett and Jasper, were taking my truck because all three of us weren't going to fit into my two seater Ford pickup and all of our luggage wouldn't fit into Alice's Porsche.
"Let's go" Rosalie squealed, very Alice-like if you were to ask me.
Rosalie was so beautiful that every time that you walked into a room your self-esteem dropped immensely. She was tall and willowy and had golden blonde hair to her waist. She was also the very definition of calm, cool and collected. Alice on the other hand was also very cute. Her features were more pixie-like than anything. She acted at most times like a spider monkey hopped up on Mountain Dew. Me, I'm short and curvy with long wavy brown hair. I'm in-between Alice and Rose most of the time. Just plain old Bella Swan.
"Onward, my good man" I heard Jasper say to Emmett in true Jasper fashion.
"Hey, Em?" I called
"What's up, Squirt?" he asked, walking over to me.
"Here are the rules of driving my truck. No gunning it over 60 or it will die, no drinking, clean it out after you eat something, and most of all be careful. Don't want anything happening to my honorary older brother," I said after giving him a hug and a quick peck on the cheek.
"Whatever you say, Squirt." He replied.
"See ya, Jazz." I called over Emmett's shoulder.
Jasper waved back. Alice and Emmett Brandon have been my best friends ever since I moved to Forks, Washington after my mom died in a car wreck when I was 8. I met Rose and Jasper in middle school.
xxXXxx
About 7 hours into the drive we were getting tired and we pulled into a roadside motel. A man about our age was working the front desk.
"Hi, I'm Mike, what can I do for you tonight?" He asked all three of us caught the double meaning in his words.
"There's nothing you can do just get us the best room available." Rose spat in disgust. His face fell visibly.
"Oh, okay." He said and gave us the room key. We linked arms and strutted to the elevators.
"Damn, that guy was nasty. I suppose I wasn't the only one who heard the double meaning there, am I wrong?" Alice asked.
"No you are not." I took the room key out of the envelope, but not until after noticing some chicken scratch handwriting reading:
Call me sometime
(576) 534-1987
xoxoxo
Mike Newton
"Oh. My. God!" I said between giggles.
"What?" Rose asked, looking at me as if I'd grown two heads.
"Here." I handed them the envelope.
All three of us were thrown into a fit of laughter. After we composed ourselves we walked into the room. It wasn't bad. Huge whirlpool tub, nice kitchenette and a huge king-sized bed.
"Alice gets middle," Rose said gesturing towards the bed. Fine with me. We all walked out to the Porsche to get our overnight bags. Big problem. No car.
"What. The. Hell. Happened. To. My. Car?" Alice said between gasps.
"I don't have a clue," I replied.
"Gimme a phone," Rose said as I tried to calm Alice. Alice handed her her phone
"Hello, I'd like to report a stolen car. A canary yellow Porsche." Rose said professionally.
"Okay. Thank you" Rose said goodbye and handed Alice back her phone.
"They said they'd keep an eye out for it," she said.
"Okay" Alice said, dazed.
"Oooh, I have a great idea." I said as a light bulb went off in my head.
"What is it?" Alice asked snapping out of her trance.
"Jake has always wanted to see North Dakota and he could take Billy's pickup and put our bikes in the back and bring them to us!" I exclaimed.
"That is a good idea." Alice was almost back to her perky self.
I took out my phone and dialed the familiar number to the Blacks'. Jake has been one of my friends since I got to Forks. A few years we found a couple of junky Harley's and fixed them up and he also taught me, Alice and Rosalie how to ride.
"Hello?" Jake's groggy voice answered.
"Jake?" I exclaimed.
"Hey Bells, whattdya need?" all trace of sleep washed from his voice.
"We need your help. Alice's Porsche was stolen from the hotel we were staying at and we need you to bring the bikes. And I figured that you could also see the Dakotas while you're at it." I held my breath waiting for an answer.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"We're staying at a comfort inn on state route 94." I replied.
"I'll be there in the morning. Just tell them at the front desk that a Jacob Black will be coming and to give him a room key." He said excitedly.
"Thank you so much Jake. I love ya. You're a lifesaver." I said with relief.
"See ya." He said, I could almost hear the smile I his voice.
"He'll be here in the morning. We need to tell the front desk to give him a key." I said.
"'mkay" Rose said sleepily.
"Alice take Rose to the room and I'll take care of the rest." I suggested. Alice nodded her little spiky head ad walked, well I should say bounced, off to take Rosalie to the room.
I stalked up to the front desk, thankful to see that a woman now stood in Mike's place.
"Hello, my name's Kate. What can I do for you tonight?" She asked with a warm smile.
"One of my friends will be here in the morning to pick my other friends and I up. Will you please give him our room number and a key?" I asked.
"Sure. What's your name, hon?" She asked kindly.
"Isabella, or Bella, Swan." I replied politely.
"And theirs?" She asked, typing on a computer keyboard.
"Jacob Black." I said.
"I'll get a room key as soon as he gets here." She said.
"Thank you so much." I thanked her and said goodbye.
When I reached the room both of them were asleep in their bras and underwear. I kicked off my shoes, pulled off my shirt and jeans and crawled in under the blanket next to Alice and fell asleep within minutes.
"Bells?" Jake said as he walked over to the bed and shook me lightly.
"Hey, could you wait outside for a sec so I can get dressed and wake these two up?" I asked rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"Sure, sure" he said and sauntered out the door.
"WAKE UP CALL!!!!" I yelled loudly. Alice jumped and Rosalie fell out of bed. I burst out laughing.
"That was mean, Bella." Rose snapped.
"I know. C'mon get dressed Jake's here with the bikes." I said throwing them their clothes.
"Okay." Alice said while she put her shirt.
We pulled our clothes on and I glanced at the clock 8:30am was what it read. We made some coffee and met Jake outside our room.
"Thank you so much!" We all exclaimed and launched ourselves at him and grabbed our purses and head out.
"Here are the keys. Be careful you three" with that he gave us all another hug and jumped in his truck and drove off.
"Who's riding with me?" I asked as I swung my leg over mine.
Alice raised her hand as she put the helmet on.
"Okay then let's go!" Rose shouted and then we were off.
Alice hugged me tightly around the middle as we rode along. We got as far as Illinois before we had to stop. We pulled up to a nicer hotel in Chicago. Alice had already fallen asleep while we were riding. We got a nice room and collapsed on the gigantic bed. Man, I need a shower.
"Hey, Rose?" I asked.
"Hmm?" She answered.
"Do you need a shower?" I asked hesitantly.
"To come to think of it I do. You wanna go and get some new clothes from a store down the street?" She asked.
"Sure. Let's grab Al something too." I replied. We grabbed our purses. And were off.
"Ooh that looks cool." I said pointing out a store named Buckle.
"Let's go." Rose said with a smile.
We found a few outfits for each of us. We paid for our purchases and grabbed some take-out and headed back to the hotel.
When we got back Alice nearly went ballistic for not taking her with us.
"Because we only needed the basics," I said reasonably.
"Well okay, what did you get me?" She practically squealed. We showed her our purchases and got her seal of approval.
We took our showers ad collapsed in front of the wide screen TV. I was asleep before an hour had passed.
The next morning we all slept in. After we woke up we ordered room service.
"How about we stay here today?" I suggested.
"That sounds like fun. We can go shopping." Alice said and started jumping up ad down on the bed, laughing like a madwoman.
"We're riding motorcycles to New York, remember?" I asked sarcastically.
"Oh, Okay." She said kind of disappointed.
"Do you guys like baseball?" I asked curiously.
"Uh Huh." They both nodded their heads.
"I think the Chicago Cubs are playing the Mets today, maybe we could go." I said.
"Ooh that sounds like fun!" Alice exclaimed.
"Rose, you in?" I asked.
"Okay" she nodded her head and smiled.
"Let's get dressed and go. The game starts at 1." I said happily.
We went to the game. As we were walking into the stadium we picked up our tickets. As I was coming down the steps to my seat in the stands, I tripped and was sent hurtling towards the concrete steps below. But for some reason I just stopped falling. I looked up and there were these dazzling green emeralds looking back at me. I took a step back to look at my rescuer. He had magnificent green eyes and tousled bronze/auburn hair and his Carlos Zambrano t-shirt stretched across his torso muscles nicely.
"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.
"Y-yeah I'm fine. Thanks." I tried to step around him but he stepped in my way.
"Would you mind if I walked you to your seat?" He asked and flashed me the most beautiful grin that was slightly crooked. I shook my head and started walking towards where Rose and Alice were sitting.
"What seat number are you?" He asked, trying to make small talk.
"Um, EE-3. What seat number are you?" I asked.
"EE-4" he said flashing me his crooked grin again.
"Cool. Bella" I said sticking my hand out.
"Edward" he replied taking my hand.
"This is it," I said gesturing to row EE.
"Edward, these are my two best friends, Rosalie and Alice." Pointing to each of them. They both shook his hand and he made his way to his seat. I took mine in-between Rose and Edward.
"What happened? We send you out after nachos and you bring back a guy. And no nachos!" Alice said feigning anger but the grin on her face gave her away.
"I don't know. I tripped and he caught me and it turns out his seat was right there." I whisper-yelled at her.
When we got back to the hotel my throat hurt from cheering so much.
"Let's get some sleep so we can make it to New York before we have to stop again." I suggested. The both of them nodded.
We woke up at three a.m. and checked out and were on our bikes headed to Indiana by 4:30. We stopped for lunch in Pennsylvania and booked it to New York. We were at Jasper and Emmett's before sunrise the next day. Rose, Alice and I walked up about five flights of stairs and we grabbed the spare key and let ourselves in. Emmett woke up around eleven that morning and put us in his bed to sleep as he went to his afternoon classes.
We woke up around six o' clock that evening and made our way over to our new apartment. Alice forced us to ride the subway even though we had the bikes, so we got lost for about an hour. We finally made it.
