The ground beneath my feet periodically brushed against my bare skin but not enough to distract me from my task. The trees swirled into green orbs as I flew by them. I felt twigs snag against my black dress, the fabric ripping slightly. I had disregarded my black stilettos and carried them in my hand. I slowed to a mild jog as I reached my destination. The quiet sound of honking horns and yelling let me know it was rush hour in the city before me. I stuck to the shadows, sunlight still shining down on the over crowded city sidewalks. I made my way to the city limits, taking a deep breath to familiarize the scents around me. I ran North through the forest, the direction of Canada. I slowed once again as I near a parking lot. I casually made my way over to my vehicle, starting it and racing back towards Forks. Home, sweet home.

The longest week of my life went by. Edward picked us up, drove us to school. The first day I was expecting Bella to be with him, but she wasn't. Edward was introduced to the group. He sometimes sat with the gang but most times he was unseen during the lunch period. He got along with all of us for the most part. Even Rosalie welcomed him easily, being odd as she usually had a cold shoulder to outsiders. Bella never came, Edward saying she was visiting their uncle and aunt in Alaska or somewhere like that. I had walked out to him on the phone one afternoon. He was talking to someone fast and it seemed intense but as soon as he saw me he hung up, not even saying goodbye to the person on the other end.
It was currently Friday afternoon, and I was waiting at Edward's car, the black Mercedes. Alice was riding home with Jasper. When Jasper and Alice started hanging out more, I realized that they both liked each other and now I was currently waiting for them to make it official. Edward was walking towards me talking on the phone. He was talking hushed but quickly, making me wonder if the words he was saying were even understandable. He unlocked it using the fob and said goodbye, getting in and looking at me.
"So, how was your day?" I looked at him oddly, not sure why he was asking me. He started the car and pulled out, still waiting for my answer.
"It was good," He smiled and I couldn't help but laugh a bit. He drove the usual way, taking the street that I had broken down on just on Monday. He was driving quickly, a thing you just get used to after driving with the Cullen's. I had asked him how he never got caught by my dad, but he just smiled and said he couldn't reveal the secret. We sped past a black and pink Ferrari and I couldn't help but look over my shoulder as it made its way past us. "That was a nice car." Edward just nodded his head, glancing into his side mirror before looking back to the front. I watched him for a moment, his face flashing anger before shutting down to hold no emotion at all. We pulled into my driveway a few minutes later, sitting in silence before I said my thanks and went to get out.
"Emmett, there is a game on tonight correct?" I nodded my head fixing my shirt, and placing my back pack at my feet as I wait for a reason for the question. "I wanted to know if you wanted to come over and watch it with me?" He smiled slightly, making me think there was a reason he wanted me to come over.
"Yea, sure. What time?" He grabbed a piece of paper from the glove box, writing quickly on it before handing it to me.
"Around 6:30 is good. The driveway is kind of hidden so call me if you get lost." And with that he smiled and pulled out of the drive way, as fast as usual and sped off. I stood like that wondering what just happened until I heard the sound of Charlie's cruiser and quickly went into the house. I sat at the kitchen table, glancing at the note with the info Edward gave me. His writing was neat, just like Bella. I shook my head as I thought of how the Cullens were truly perfect.

Bella wanted to be rude all week when she wasn't even in the same country as I was, I can be rude right back. I had been fighting with her all week, wanting to know when she would be back and what she had found out. The day Emmett found me; I was fighting with her because she wanted to ask Aro. Not only was that a stupid plan, let alone idea, I knew she would run into Peter and Charlotte and who knows what stupid things those three would get into. All three of them were trouble. Especially Char and Bella together. They could rule the vampire world if ever needed.
I was talking to Bella while walking to the car, talking quickly like usual. She said she didn't know if she would come back. She wanted to go adventuring again. In my mind I knew something happened since she left, and she was running away from her problems like usual. I hung up on her again, annoyed as I unlocked the car for Emmett. The car ride was easy and comfortable like usual, until Bella drove past us. Emmett was entranced by the car like any one would, while I shot a glare at her as she smirked at me. Her tinted windows made it impossible for humans to look in, but it was exceptionally easy for vampires to.
I drove away from Emmett, pleased with myself for inviting him over. I made sure to stop thinking about it far enough away incase Bella decided to read my mind. I pulled the car to a stop in front of the garage, beside Bella's Ferrari, and got out quickly running into the house. I stop as I spotted Bella, sitting casually in the living room, reading Pride and Prejudice. She was wearing a dark pair of jeans, and a white blouse. Much like the outfit she was wearing on Monday when she left. She smirked as she looked up from her book, her eyes gleaming with suspicion.
"What are you hiding from me?" She asked, slightly narrowing her eyes as she looked at me.
"Oh. I just didn't want you to know what I have planned for you tonight. It's a surprise for you."
"What's the occasion?"
"Nothing. Just for being the best fake sister ever." She nodded, leaning back into the chair to continue reading her book. I ran upstairs to change into a different pair of clothes. I jumped out the window, and ran to my car; driving quickly to the store and buying what I thought would be good for tonight. We had lots of food at the house, but we needed fresher food to feed the human. I was quick and back home heading into the kitchen and putting the food away, avoiding Bella's question as to why we needed human food. It was around 6:25 when I heard tires heading down the main road. I smiled and could tell when Bella heard them because she ran to the window to see who it was.

Edward had been acting weird ever since he came back home. He went and bought more human food. How much food do we need when we don't even eat it? I watched him from the doorway, leaning onto it for support when I heard the tires turn off the asphalt onto the gravel of our driveway. I ran to the window to see Emmett getting out of his father's cruiser before waving to his father goodbye. He watched him leave the driveway before taking in the house before him.
"What the hell is he doing here?"
"I invited him to watch the game." Edward shrugged his shoulders, smiling slightly at my panic.
"I could attack him. You could attack him. This isn't safe."
"Oh come on Bella, we have been driving him, well I have been, all week. He's fine." Edward's smile got bigger when the doorbell rang. He went and opened the door, greeting Emmett easily and inviting him inside. I listened to him compliment the house and thanked him for inviting him over. Edward told him easily that I had decorated it. I walked out of the kitchen smiling when my eyes landed on Emmett's familiar form.
"Evening, Emmett." He turned around to face me, giving me a confused look then a sheepish smile.
"Hello Bella. Did you enjoy your trip?" I nodded.
"Very much. It was relaxing especially since Edward wasn't there." He laughed at this, while I received a glare from Edward. "Would you like any food?" He shook his head and I nodded, waving goodbye and heading up to my room as Edward gave Emmett a tour of downstairs. I heard them get settles in the media room and the familiar sounds of a football game filled the house.
It was going to be a long night.
