Hearing Bella trip over God knows what caused me to giggle and patiently wait at the door as she got up. Finally having the door opened I greeted her with a crooked smile and said, "That boyfriend of yours has you like a complete klutz."

Laughing she motioned me inside and led the way towards her room, "How you been Alex? It's been a while since we actually got to hang out."

"I'm good and you? I can't believe you basically ditched me. A little offended."

Smiling as she pushed me in the room and sat on her bed she sighed, "I didn't ditch you... we just grew apart... with what Jacob and I went through-"

"I'm not here about that. We promised ourselves we wouldn't bring it up, remember?"

Nodding she looked out her window and I raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing why?"

"You're acting so unlike yourself. Come on Bells, tell me what's wrong."

"Oh... alright. Edward was suppose to drop by tonight but he hasn't even called."

"Have you tried calling him?"

"Yes, a numerous amount of times but nothing. I'm getting worried..."

"Why don't we go out?"

"What?"

"You heard me! Let's go out... Edward is probably busy or something doing with his vampire things came up. Let's have one of those girl nights we loved having before!"

"I-"

"Please?"

"Fine."

"Yes! Now where's that junk of a thing you call a car?"

Laughing she added, "It's not junk... I like it."

"Which comes to show you know nothing about cars. Can we go?"

"Uh... yeah."

Watching and hearing Bella's misery caused me to stop her junk of crap on the side of the road and look at her directly in the eye.

"What the hell Bells? Don't you want to hang out?"

"It's just..."

"Edward."

"Yes... wait what?"

"Is that your Edward?"

Turning around to look out the fogged window she almost burst into tears when he approached. Turning off the car, I sighed and unbuckled my seat belt.

"About time I finally get to meet the guy."

Looking at me curiously, Bella quickly opened the door and almost devoured him whole.

"Edward, what's wrong?"

"Something came up. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your house and didn't call to explain things sooner."

"It's ok... I want you to meet someone."

Raising an eyebrow he turned to face me and immediately shivers ran down through my back.

"This is Jacob's sister, Alex."

"A pleasure to meet you."

Smiling, I nodded and said, "Believe it or not the pleasure is all mine."

"Edward, is something else wrong?"

"I think you should come with me."

"I can't just leave Alex alone."

"No it's fine. I'll drive back, leave your car and call Jacob."

"No, I promised you a day-"

"She can come with you. We just need to get home."

"Are you sure?"

Nodding he said, "I'll go ahead and you can follow."

Looking at him with curiosity, I nodded and turned the car back on wondering what was in store with a house full of vampires...
