A/N: First of all I want to apologize for starting this story and then lacking the ambition to continue it. I'm going to try to work our everything and hopefully finish it. I can't promise it'll be very long. It may just be a short story kind of think. Anyway, hope you like this next chapter. I'm pretty much making it up as I go. I really should start mapping these things out :P

Chapter 2

"So what movie do you want to watch tonight? Final destination, Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street, Paranormal Activity?" Alice listed off various movies we've yet to watch on our scary movie nights.

"It doesn't matter to me. I guess whatever Redbox has." I said absent mindedly.

"Alright!" She said happy to please. That's Alice, always the planner.

"What time do you-." I was cut off by the sound of a high pitch squeal. Despite the fact that it was probably rude, I turned my neck a bit annoyed to see where the wretched sound had come from.

"Oh it's just Jessica." Alice said quickly noticing the strained look on my face. "I think Edward was going to ask her out or .. Maybe it was Tanya. Something like that. He wouldn't tell me. It was just a guess." Alice had a canny knack for predicting anyone and everyone's love life. "Speaking of, here comes my loser of a twin brother's totally hott best friend Jake running our way."

Out of my peripheral vision I caught a glimpse of a totally gorgeous tanned body heading toward us. Jacob Black. Jake and I had been friends since diapers. His dad and my dad were good fishing buddies and before his mom passed away and Renee skipped out on me and Charlie, they had been best friends also. The years had been good to him. He looked nothing like the awkward three year old that had been my bubble bath buddy.

"Bella!" Jake exclaimed picking me up and swirling me around twice. "We should hang out sometime. I never get to see you enough." A wiry grin was plastered over his face.

I couldn't help but smile. "We should, tonight's our monthly scary movie night though. We should hang out sometime totally."

This is about the time that the evil little cupid hidden somewhere in Alice pops up. "Hey Jake! Why don't you come watch the movie with us. You're usually there anyway."

Jake's smile grew showing off his perfectly white teeth. "Really? I wouldn't want to invite myself over." He said obviously just being respectful. Billy had raised him well.

"Oh of course not." I interjected. "We could always do it at my house."

"Nonsense." Alice said quickly elbowing me. "We'll make a party of it!" I could already see the wheels turning around in her head. "Well, maybe not a party. We'll save that for the medical retreat later this summer." She laughed almost wickedly creeping out both Jake and me.

"Alright then." I said glancing at Alice with wide eyes. "Three's a party."

"I'll bring the food!" Jake said running off toward his bike.

With that, I made my way to my almost antique truck parked next to Alice's little yellow Porsche. I banged next to the handle three times then yanked open the door. That always did the trick. I could pretty much leave the keys in the ignition and not worry about anyone driving off with this bad boy. Not only would very few people want to steal it, very few people could get in the door.

I cranked down the window, with a bit of effort, and looked around for Alice. She was bright-eyed and dazzled by her new boyfriend Jasper. Jasper Hale was running back on our football team as well as a drum major in our band. His twin sister, Rosalie, was quite different than other girls around school. She was hands down the natural beauty of the school. With her blond hair and blue eyes, she made guys stop and stare. Weirdly enough, she was President of the FFA club at school and enlisted in every Agricultrual Mechanics class there was. She was a senior dating my older brother Emmett, a Freshmen at Washington State University.

Seeing as though it were useless to distract her, I forced my truck into reverse and with a roar of the engine it surged backwards. A loud honk of a horn caused me to slam on breaks glaring out my rearview mirror. Didn't these people know that if you see a bigger truck moving, you got out of it's way. Sheesh. Survival of the fittest.

"Watch where you're going Swan! This is my baby!" Edward Cullen yelled out the passenger side window.

"My truck has senior citizen privileges Cullen! Ladies are always first." I yelled back a bit pissed off. I swear Alice's brother, Mr. "Big shot" as we referred to him, thought he could do whatever he wanted nowadays.

I watched his eyes twinkle has he chuckled softly. Then, surprisingly, he backed up allowing me enough room to cut in front of him. This was completely out of character for him. Usually he demanded he had places to go and people to see. So, never the one to turn down an offer at getting out of the parking lot, I reversed into the now empty space and slipped into the line of traffic.

I pulled out into the unusually dry pavement with the windows cranked down and the music resounding over the sputter of the engine. Summer had officially started.

A/N: Okay, so I know that was super short and super horrible. But hey, at least it's an update. I want to start writing again. I looked over some of my other stories like "A summer of decisions" and "Hey Isabella". I miss the feeling of accomplishment. Sadly, my writing has suffered a lot. It doesn't come as easily as breathing anymore. I need inspiration. Music, experiences, wants, needs, feelings. That's what I need. I started working on this because I miss summer terribly.

Anyway review. Be brutal. Tell me it was horrid. Maybe that will help my will to do better?

I sure hope so.

Sorry it was so short and horrid and such a long time since I've written or updated.
