2- leaving

BPOV

I practically jumped out of bed when my alarm clock went off at exactly 5:15 am, such and ungodly hour, I prefer noon. I am by no means a morning person.

Chapter

I reluctantly pulled off the covers and got out of bed, stretching as I walked down the hallway to the bathroom. I turned the water on as hot as I could stand it. I stood there till the water ran cold. I planned on taking my time this morning. I was putting off the inevitable, doing my best to avoid him. In less then 30 minutes I would be stuck in a car with him and have nowhere to run.

I got dressed and grabbed my bag of toiletries as well as anything else I might need. Seeing as Alice and Esme packed my clothes for me. I cringe at the thought. Hopefully they bought things to my liking and didn't spend too much. I hated being spoiled and they knew it.

Just as I was stepping out of my room I heard a horn honk. Impatient aren't they?

"Hey B, ya ready?" I would notice that loud, booming voice anywhere. "Hey Em, yeah I guess, I'm ready as I will ever be."

I handed him my bag and climbed into the back of the Jeep and was squished in between the door and jasper. Alice and Edward sat on the other side of us. Edward was sitting next to the passenger side window. At least I wouldn't have to worry too much about eye contact or any contact for that matter. No matter how much I longed for it.

Emmett started to drive off and Jasper wrapped his arms around me and Alice. He always said we were his two favorite girls. I considered him one of my best friends. But, to be truthful they were all my best friends. We were a family, one that shouldn't break apart. I think deep down they all felt the same way. When Edward ended it, it shattered our group to the core. They didn't want to lose me because of him and I didn't want to ever be without them. They were my pillars in the sand that held me up, Even Edward.

"Hey Bells" Alice called over to me "I think you will love your new wardrobe we got you." "Alice, you guys really didn't have to but I really do appreciate it." I only said that cause I knew arguing with her is a lost cause. It's better to just give in, less time wasted.

"Bells we love you and you're like my sister plus, mom and I never get to spoil you so we decided to take advantage."

"Well thank you. I can't wait to see what you got me." I flashed her a smile and I could see that Edward was now back to sleep.

Am I really going to survive this summer?

Rosalie looked back at me and smiled. It took her some time but eventually she warmed up to me. "Glad you came Bella." She said and I gave her a smile in return.

I turned my I-pod onto Morrissey. I selected you are the quarry. The song I'm not sorry was blasting through my ears at the moment. Somehow the lyrics that came through Morrissey's voice connected with my moods.

I'm slipping below the water line; I'm slipping below the water line

Reach for my hand and, and the race is won

Reject my hand and, and the damage is done.

It was like with each word being sung my heart was oozing with hurt, dripping with sadness. But, yet, in this exact moment that's exactly how I felt. No matter how much that I had wished countless numbers of times that we would just run away together. We couldn't deny our love. We knew it was there. I was hanging onto it like it was my safety net. We could have let our hearts win if we both were not scared. And yet that day he forfeited was a day I lost as well. The day he rejected my hand he damaged me. I can't help but wonder if the damage he did to me was repairable? Can I be saved? Will my heart be cured?

I sat there letting the music flow through my ears as I watch the countless number of buildings and cars pass me by in a blur.

I must have fallen asleep at some point because I got woken up by Jasper nudging me to get out. Looks like were going to lunch.

I was hoping for a rather short car ride but no, we were going to the Oregon coast, down to seaside Oregon. So, as much as I hated it I was in for a pretty long, boring ride. Looking on the bright side of things at least I was leaving the ever so much fun Forks behind for the entire summer, Now, that I can live with.

The waitress sat us down at our booth and I unfortunately had to sit across from Edward. I sat there biting my lip. Trying so hard to just stare out the window and not look at him.

I noticed him glance at me a few times and he even looked like he wanted to say something but, other then that him and I were silent.

Lunch was finished and we all piled back into Em's jeep. All tightly squished I might add. Why didn't we take two cars again? I was lucky though, same seating arrangement as before. This time instead of moz I let rancid stream through my ears.

We were back on the highway when I heard Edwards's velvety voice. "Glad you came Bella" he said softly. "Yea, sure." I replied, what else could I say?

I was back to biting my lip fighting the urge not to cry. I wanted to be with him, next to him, kissing him. I wanted to talk to him and hold his hand. But no, he had to be the one to go and break my fucking heart and because of that I was denied everything I have ever wanted with him. Maybe I am selfish after all?

Finally at about 2:30 we arrived at the beach house and let me tell you it was amazing! I looked at the light blue, three story house in awe. This is where I'm going to be living for the next two months? I can't believe it. It has a wrap around deck, loads of windows and lets not forget the hot tub. A major plus was the house was directly on the beach. I was in love with this house. At the end of the summer they are going to have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming.

We all grabbed our bags and I started to walk up the stone walkway when Emmet smacked my ass. "Ready Bells? I have a feeling its going to be the best summer yet!" I gave him a look and replied "Yea easy for you to say, ya big oaf."

I started to climb up the steps to the front door when clumsy Bella decided to make an appearance and I not so gracefully tripped on the first step. I put my hands out to catch myself when I felt somebody pull me up. "Thanks" I mutter quietly not knowing yet who my savior was; I look behind me and notice that it was Edward that had helped me up. I can feel the blush in my cheeks rapidly appear.

We all make it into the living room and notice that Carlisle and Esme had left a note for us.

Kids-

Welcome to your new home for the summer. We do hope you love it here and find it to be a good home for the summer. The fridge is stocked with everything you could possibly want or need. You will find that we have stocked any other provisions you might need as well. We hope everything is to all of your likings.

Now, to get to the topic of rooms, I am sure you all are wondering how we will approach this. Well there are four rooms total for the house. We realize that some of you are couples and we expect you to be nothing but responsible. So with that said Edward and Bella will each have their own rooms. Jasper and Alice will share a room as well as Rosalie and Emmett. You will see your names on the door to let you know which rooms are whose.

We would like to leave each of you with a little something to remember during this summer:

Emmett-be good, stay out of trouble and keep an eye on everyone. Absolutely no practical jokes!

Rosalie- please have fun this summer dear and keep and open mind.

Jasper- Keep Emmett and Edward in line and take care of our Alice. Make sure you have lots of fun!

Alice- please enjoy yourself baby girl and keep the boys in line. Be there for Bella no matter what.

Edward- we want you to make the most of this summer and at the end we hope that you realize what you have lost and gain it back. You need her as much as she needs you.

Bella- we love you dear and we know this is hard but please welcome this summer with open arms. In the end we know you will be in the right place again.

With that said kids, we love you and be safe. Have a good summer. We will be checking in sometime next week.

Love always,

Carlisle and Esme.

We all stood there, looking at each other. Edward even looked at me and smiled. I blushed of course. He still dazzles me, despite everything.

"Well let's all go to our rooms and unpack. We gotta party it up!" Emmett said as he made way up the stairs.

My room was on the third floor. It looked very comfortable. The walls were light blue and the curtains were white. I had a nice big window that looked straight out towards the ocean. The bed was a queen with blue and white bed spread. I had a dresser with a television on top of it. My closet was pretty small but I don't have much use for it anyways. That is entirely Alice's area.

I unpacked all my stuff. I noticed the new clothes that Alice and Esme had bought for me. I actually did like them. The outfits were definitely my style.

I walked out of my room and I look across the hall and notice that Edward is my neighbor.

Freaking wonderful, how do they expect me to get through the summer with him right across the hall?

I just hope Carlisle and Esme know what they are doing. If their son doesn't return home at the end of the summer that is definitely not my fault and I will plead the fifth on that one.

Our meeting place seemed to be the living room; I went to sit on the large black leather couch next to jasper. Alice came in and handed me a bottle of water as she sat on the other side of jasper.

"So what should we do on our first night here?" Asked Alice

We all looked at each other waiting for someone to talk.

"How about we have a barbecue and then a bonfire down on the beach? That should be fun." Alice suggested, after only a moments hesitation we all decided that would be a great start to our summer at the beach house.

"And maybe we can all go skinny dipping huh?" Emmett laughed and Rosalie smacked him up the side of the head. We all saw that coming, and couldn't help but laugh at Emmett's expense.

Alice and I made our way to the kitchen to get everything ready for the barbecue.

Hopefully our first night won't be so bad.

I would really appreciate some reviews. I am getting anxious. I am wondering if I am good enough to continue my stores:) thanks for reading!
