Chapter 2

The sun was bright and hurt my eyes, and I turned away from the window and pressed my face into my pillow. There should be a law against waking up before noon. Then all of what happened yesterday flooded into my brain and I shot up gasping.

I wished it was a dream but there was no way that was possible. My hair still had little branches in it from running through the forest. I tried to pick out most of them but there were tons stuck in tight; so I heaved myself up and sighed before I headed off to take a shower.

My shower lasted a long time, but I still didn't feel relaxed, I headed downstairs to grab some breakfast, and to see if Charlie had already left for work. I spotted his note on the counter I picked it up and read it. It said he left and he wouldn't be home until very late because he was to go over to watch sports with Billy after work.

This regular routine of going over there on Sundays was starting to annoy me because Jake and I still weren't on the best of terms at the moment.

After the fight with the newborns Jake had healed perfectly back to his usual form and hadn't talked to me since. I was starting to think he had imprinted and forgotten me. Not that I would care.

I started on my cereal when I heard a knock at the door. I stood up quickly and tripped over the chair leg. How I did that I have no clue. In a second Edward was standing over me.

"You okay love?" He asked and picked me up from the floor and put me back on my feet. I wobbled a bit and he put his hand on my arm to steady me.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I said glancing around and checking the windows. Crap now I'm getting back into my old habits. "So what do you want to do today?" I asked him once I was completely steady.

"I think you should do something with one of your friends today." He suggested. I looked at him oddly. Since when did Edward not want to spend the day with me?

"Why." I demanded. He was not going to get away with suggesting that without giving an explanation.

"Well, my family is going to be playing baseball today, and I'm not sure if you should come along." He explained gently. I felt hurt for a moment. But I understood why he thought that. The last time I went to watch them play baseball I nearly got killed by James and Victoria. I probably could play baseball with them though, but only if I had my wings out.

"Sure, I'll go call Angela." I skidded on the kitchen floor over to the phone. When she picked up I quickly explained that I was hoping I could come over and have some girl time with her. She said yes in a heartbeat and asked if I could come over in half an hour. "Okay" I agreed quickly, said bye and hung up.

I turned and ran into Edward who was standing right there. I gave a little squeak that someone I knew would never let me live down if he heard it, (A/N: You should know who.) and slid my feet into an attack pose and tensed my arms by my sides.

Edward stood as still as a statue for a moment and I realized my mistake. I relaxed my pose and tried to look mock angry while I was really feeling worried. Edward unfroze and gave me an apologetic face. I smiled and instructed him to stay while I went to get my things to take to Angela's.

Stupid, stupid, why did you do that? You haven't needed to attack anybody in ages! I thought, and headed back down after getting my stuff. Edward was in the same spot, except grinning at me as I came into the kitchen. "What?" I questioned him after a minute. He just shook his head and led me to the door, while I dragged my feet uselessly.

"Oh," I breathed when we got outside. His usual Volvo had been replaced today it seemed, as Rosalie's M3 was in my driveway.

He looked apologetic, "My Volvo is getting worked on by Rosalie so she gave me her car." I looked at him suspiciously.

"Rosalie just let you drive her car; her baby?!" I was shocked Rosalie seemed like the person to never let anyone else touchher car, let alone drive it.

"Really, it was Carlisle that made her let me drive it."

"Why?"

"She decided that my Volvo should get a new paint job. It was disgusting." I laughed at his facial expression.

"It was pink wasn't it?"

"Purple actually." Ew. I had to agree with him on that.

He helped me get into the car, and speed over to his side and got in and started the car in seconds. I sat back and prepared for some maniac driving but he surprised me and drove just ten miles above the speed limit. Of course even with him speeding as fast as he does, he doesn't reach my record for flying, but flying is much safer and I know I won't crash into anything, well, unless I don't look where I'm flying.

We reached Angela's right on time and I gave him a quick kiss before I knocked on her door. She answered right away and pulled me inside, I got one glance at the car driving away.

Angela pushed me onto her couch and sat down beside me and immediately launched into a speech about her boyfriend Ben.

"He is hinting and kind of secretive, and I think he might be breaking up with me or proposing and I'm not sure which and they are very different and I don't know where our relationship is going!" She said so fast I could barely understand.

"Whoa, slow down girl." I joked, and took a deep breath. "Do you think it's more likely he will propose?" I questioned.

"I don't know," she sniffed.

"Ben loves you," I reasoned. "I can't see you two breaking up, maybe he's waiting for the right moment to propose." She seemed to calm down.

"Do you really think so?"

"Definitely." I said. Our conversation turned to lighter topics and I tried to focus on the girl talk that didn't interest me as much. "Angela," I started. "Do you mind if we cut this a little short, I was hoping to go down and see Jake?" She grinned mischievously,

"Sure Bella."

After arriving in La Push I drove directly to Jake's house, I nearly ran up to his door, and knocked as loud as I could. He opened the door still in his sweat pants he sleeps in even though it was one in the afternoon.

"Bella?" he said confused. I grinned, he still looked vulnerable from sleeping and he looked more like my Jacob. He pulled me from my thoughts, "What are you doing here?" I frowned, my worries about him forgetting about me coming back. Stupid Max, I mean Bella, you have Edward! I reasoned with myself. But he's my best friend. I argued. Great now I'm talking to myself.

"I'm not allowed to see you?" I questioned my grin falling.

"NO! No, I was just surprised to see you here." He tried to console me. It didn't work.

"I can leave if you want." I said while backing up. He seemed sad at that thought, but that could just be my imagination.

"Bella really you can stay if you want to." His sincerity rang through his tone. I grinned at him once again and grabbed his hand and pulled him back into the house.

A/N: This chapter was posted later than I wanted, so I'll try to get the next one out sooner.
