A/N: Thanks for your reviews, putting me on story/author alerts, and fav story/author lists! It made me happy and want to write the next chapter, so here it is. I don't think it's as good as the last one, but you can decide that for yourself.

R&R please.

Disclaimer: Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not Stephanie Meyer, so I don't own Twilight or any of the characters. I only own Anna Marie, Amelia, their parents, and Chase, and other random relatives of the Swans that aren't in the Twilight series aka I don't own Bella, Charlie, Renee, or Phil.

Chapter 2

I got to my best friend's house, rang the doorbell, and she answered very quickly. I explained what happened, she grabbed her car keys, and she drove me home.

"I'm home." I called.

"We're in the living room watching tv. Come tell us about your date." called Dad.

I walked slowly, kind of dragging my feet to the living room and plopped down onto my favorite spot on the couch.

"Not good, huh, sweetie. Usually you're bouncing off the walls after a date. Do you want to talk about it? Or would you rather not?" Mom generally picked up on these things and she knows when not to push it.

"To be completely honest, I'd rather not talk about it right now. Can we talk tomorrow? I'd like to not think about it right now."

"Ooo! I have an idea! Let's open presents! Open mine first!...Please?!" That's why I love my little sister. She's so cute sometimes and she'll bring my mood way up.

"That actually sounds good. Where are they?"

"Don't worry. I'll get them." Amelia jumped up out of her chair, ran upstairs, and within a minute she was attempting to carry more gifts down the stairs than any member of our family should try.

"Are you sure you can handle all of those? I can help. I don't want you to trip like I would and drop all of them."

"If you hadn't noticed, I have much better balance than you and cousin Bella. I won't drop them. I promise."

"I guess you're right."

She made it down the stairs without incident and placed them nicely on the coffee table in front of me. I counted up the packages and there were 11. I guess the rest of my relatives mailed them here and I just didn't notice when they arrived.

"Open this one first!" Amelia had picked up one of the bags and was thrusting it towards me.

I smiled and proceeded to open it. Aww...she got me the new Coldplay cd I wanted. That's so sweet of her. She continued to hand me presents and I continued to open them until they were all gone. In total I got the cd from her, two books from a mystery series that I started reading from Mom and Dad, a shirt and skirt from Grandma and Grandpa, matching necklace and bracelet from Gran and Gramps, a Switchfoot band t-shirt from Bella and Edward, her fiancee, a Relient K poster from an Alice Cullen, and a bunch of earrings from Uncle Charlie and Aunt Renee and Uncle Phil, Uncle Charlie's obviously packaged separately. I loved all of my presents. They totally got my mind off of Chase for the moment. I'm still wondering about that gift from Alice, though. I'm assuming she's related to Edward, but why would she want to get me a present? I've never even met her. How did she even know my birthday or that I even liked, or more like love, Relient K?

"I'm gonna take these up to my room. Is there anything that I can use to put up the poster with?" I asked while gathering up my stuff.

"One second. I'll go get it." called Dad as he walked towards the supply office. He looked around, opening drawers and cabinets at random. He finally found it in the last drawer he looked in, which was a top drawer in the far corner of the room and very hard to get to. "Of course it would be in that drawer." He exclaimed, slightly annoyed as he walked over to me.

"Thanks, Dad."

I walked up to my room and started putting everything away. The shirts in this drawer, the skirt in the closet, the jewelry on my dresser, the books on the shelf with the rest from the series, and the cd in my computer to start uploading the tracks onto iTunes. I put up the poster in one of the last remaining spots on the wall. I finished all of this quickly, so I soon had nothing to occupy my mind with. No more distractions. Now my mind was free to wander and think about Chase. I hit the play button on iTunes, so that, not only would it be uploading the songs, but I could listen as well.

I laid on my bed and tried to focus on the lyrics of the songs. That kept my attention until I had heard all of the songs, so that was only a few minutes less that an hour. I had it on repeat, so once it reached the end it kept playing. The songs had an awesome sound and feel to them. They were different than Coldplay's past cds, but they were still amazing. Unfortunately, that train of thought brought Chase along with it. Chase had been the one to introduce me to Coldplay, made me really like them. Luckily my door was closed and the music was up pretty loud because tears started streaming down my face like they did when I was running out of the restaurant. I don't know how long I laid there crying, but I soon fell asleep.

Next thing I knew, I looked at my clock and it read 8:30pm. Great. I slept through dinner. My stomach gave a growl, so I decided to head downstairs to try and find something to eat.

"Hey, Anna." called Mom sweetly when she saw me on the stairs. "We saw you were sleeping, so we decided not to wake you for dinner. I saved you some, so if you want it I could go heat it up. It's lasagna, your favorite."

"Thanks, Mom. That sounds really good."

So, we headed to the kitchen. Mom quickly heated up my lasagna and I started eating. Mom sat with me while I ate, watching me, but not making me say anything. I'm sure she noticed that I had been crying, but that's why I'm glad it was Mom with me and not Dad. I love my dad, but on these types of things, he doesn't really know when it's good to talk about it and when it's best to just let it be. After I finished, I rinsed my plate, stuck it in the dishwasher, and went back upstairs. I wasn't really in the mood to be around people.

That's how it was for the next few weeks as well. I spent most of my time in my room by myself, coming out only for meals and when I needed something to drink. I was trying to get myself over Chase, but it wasn't really working. Everything seemed to remind me of him- certain outfits, cds, books, topics, etc. I tried to avoid these things as much as possible, but I ended up avoiding my family as a result of it. Finally, a week into July, Mom couldn't take it anymore.

"Anna, I know you're hurting and it pains the rest of us to see you like this, so we've decided that it would be best if you spent the rest of the summer with Bella down in Forks."

"But, Mom, Forks is so boring. I love seeing Bella, but she's going to be spending most of her time planning her wedding. She's not going to have any time to spend with me."

"I talked it over with her on the phone and she said that she'd love it if you helped. You're going. That's final. I'll help you pack."

A/N: Sorry if that chapter wasn't as good as the first one. I couldn't just skip to when she's in Forks cuz you wouldn't have had the full explanation and I would have had to have a flashback in a flashback since this whole story is kind of set up as a flashback. Hmm...I'm rambling. Thanks for reading! Now hurry up and review already!! You know you want to. ;) It takes what like 5 to 45 sec. tops unless of course you write a novel.
