The Best Summer: Chapter 2
Dinner was very quiet that night, even quieter than usual. I couldn't get that bronze haired guy out of my mind; all my thoughts lead back to him. Who was he? Did he always live here? I know that I would of remembered him if I saw him the past summers that I stayed with Charlie. And, the question that kept popping back into my mind, over and over again, was will I ever see him again? I really hope the answer to that question is yes. I want to see him again so bad because he was beautiful. He took my breath away the second I saw him, if ordering pizza is the only way I will get to see him, then I will. The next time I order pizza, I will start a conversation with him, unless he takes my breath away again, just like he did today.
When I finished my pizza, which was cold due to my constant thinking of that Greek God mystery man, I went up to my room. I really wanted to sleep to get my mind off of him, but it was too early to go to bed now. Instead, I decided to take a nice, hot shower. The hot water felt great on my skin and it instantly relaxed me. I lathered my body in my soap, and then washed it away. When I grabbed my strawberry scented shampoo, I couldn't help but smell it for a while, it has a wonderful scent. I lathered my hair in my strawberry shampoo for about five minutes and finally rinsed it away. After my shower, I towel dried my hair and attempted to brush my hair. My hair was such a mess; I finally gave up and put it up in a messy bun. I then grabbed my tooth brush and brushed my teeth. It was finally an acceptable bed time so I went downstairs to say goodnight to Charlie and then flopped down on my bed.
Thanks to my thoughts of him, I couldn't fall asleep. I kept tossing and turning for hours. Eventually, I was able to avoid my thoughts enough to fall asleep.

When I awoke, I wasn't too happy because waking up ended the most excellent dream I ever had. In it we ordered pizza and the pizza guy was absolutely beautiful. Wait, I thought, didn't we order pizza last night? Maybe that wasn't a dream…But it had to of been a dream. No one as beautiful as him could exist, it had to of been a dream.
I headed downstairs to get breakfast, Charlie already left for work so that left me alone to eat my cereal. I had to ear cereal because there was nothing else in the house. Today, I would definitely go get a grocery, that's a priority. After eating breakfast, I decided to go grocery shopping. I grabbed my jacket and headed outside. As soon as I got outside, I realized that I couldn't go anywhere because I didn't have a car to drive. I turned and headed back inside to call Charlie so I could figure out how I was going to be able to get to places when he's not here. When I reached the kitchen, I dialed the police station's number.
"Forks police station." The voice on the other end said.
"Hi, it's Bella Swan; can I speak to Chief Swan please?" I said back into the phone.
"Oh, sure, Bella, hold on." The voice said again.
"Okay." A minute or so later, Charlie answered the phone.
"Hey, Bella, what do you need because you are only supposed to call here for emergencies?" Charlie said, a little frantic.
"It's not an emergency, dad, it's just that I have no way to get around when you aren't here, so I was wondering if you had any idea for what I could do," I explained to Charlie.
"Oh, well, I think that I could ask Billy Black if you could use his truck for the summer because now that he's in a wheelchair he has no use for it. Do you remember the Blacks, you used to hang out with Jacob, and his sisters, Rachel and Rebecca when Billy and I fished?" Charlie asked, and then I remembered them, slightly.
"Oh yeah, I kind of forget about them until now. Well, thanks for asking Billy for me."
"It's no problem, Bells. I'll call you after I talk to him."
"Thanks, dad. Bye," I replied, a little enthused because I might have a way to get around for the rest of the summer.
"You're welcome. Bye," Charlie said, and with that I hung up the phone.
I can't wait until I find out whether or not I can use the truck. I hope Billy says yes because I really need a way to get around. I don't know what I would do all day with out being able to go anywhere. Maybe I could just keep ordering pizza all day so I could see that beautiful man again. Why, do I always have to think of him? It's not like I'm ever going to see him again. I really need to keep him out of my thoughts so I can at least try to enjoy this summer. If I keep thinking of him, there is no way that I will have the slightest chance of enjoying this summer. Oh, why did we have to order pizza last night? It would have been so much easier if I just made dinner last night, then I wouldn't have had to deal with all of these thoughts.
The phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts, for which I was glad. I answered the phone hoping that it was Charlie with the news about the truck.
"Hello?" I asked eager to see if it was Charlie or not.
"Hey, Bella, it's Jacob Black. Charlie just called asking about you using the truck," said a husky voice that I remembered it belonging to Jacob.
"Oh, hi Jacob. I was expecting Charlie to call," I said a little confused as to why Jacob was calling and not Charlie.
"Well, Bella, I wanted to give you the news. My dad said that you can use the truck for the summer, he's actually really happy to not have it sit around anymore. It's been sitting there for a while now, with no one using it, so it's great that Charlie thought of letting you use it," Jacob was really happy about not having the truck just sitting there anymore, I wonder why he's so happy.
"That's great. I'm happy that I will be giving it some use. Now, how will I get the truck?" I asked the question that's been bugging me.
"Well, I could drive it over to you, and then you can give me a ride home because I'm sure you have other errands you have to run."
"Yeah, I do. Wait, you aren't old enough to drive yet, right Jake?" I didn't think that Jacob was sixteen yet, or else the truck would have had use, so he shouldn't be able to drive it here.
"Well, I'm not, but someone has to drive to get around and do errands,' he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, right. Sorry, I kind of forgot about that. Well, you can come over now, if you want," I hope that he will get here soon; I really need to go shopping.
"Okay, Bells. I'll be there soon. Bye."
"Bye." And with that I hung up the phone.
While waiting for the Jacob to arrive with the truck, I decided to do some laundry. I took my sheets and Charlie's sheet and put them in the washing machine. When I went upstairs, I had no other laundry that needed to be done, and still some time left until Jacob would be here. I decided to read my favorite book, Wuthering Heights. My copy of the book is so beat up now from the thousands of times I have read the book. Since I liked it so much I just read it over and over again. It never bored me, through the countless times I read the book.
I heard a doorbell ring, so I bounded down the stairs, excited to see the truck. Since, I was rushing so much, and with me being clumsy, I tripped on the last stair, but I caught myself before slamming face first into the floor. When I reached the door, I opened it up to Jacob Black, who I haven't seen in a while. He had long black hair, and tan skin and he was standing there smiling the biggest smile I have ever seen. Why is he so happy? I just pushed that thought away and greeted him.
"Hi, Jake," I said returning his smile; it was kind of hard not to do.
"Hey, Bells, are you ready to see the truck you will be driving? I must warn you though, it's kind of old, but it drives great. I have been fixing it for a while now, and it is still in great shape," At first when I heard him say it was old, I was a little worried, but hearing him explain that it was working great made me believe him.
"Okay, I got it. Can I see it now, please?" I asked all excited. I could tell that he could tell that I was really excited because his smile grew even wider, if that was possible.
"Alright, lets go," he said walking towards the driveway, I just followed him really eager. When we reached the truck I was shocked. It had faded read paint and it was huge, but yet I loved it. It was the perfect car for me.
"Wow, Jake, I love it. I think I'll enjoy driving it this summer!" I said with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Alright, Bella, let's get in so you can drive it. Just drive me home and then do your errands.'
"Okay." I headed over to the driver's side, after Jacob handed me the keys. I jumped in and started the engine. It roared to life, literally roared. It was loud, at first it made me jump, but I'll get used to it.
I headed down the road with Jacob giving me directions to his house. He was trying to start a conversation with me, but I wasn't paying much attention, I was just too eager to drive the truck. When we finally reached his house we said our goodbyes and I headed to the grocery store. It wasn't hard to find from Jacob's house, once I got out of La Push, where Jacob lived. All the stores in Forks were in one place, as soon as I got to the shopping center, I headed to the grocery store.
After I parked, I headed inside. I went through each aisle looking for food that I needed. I got fruits, vegetables, stuff for dinner, breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snack food. When I got to the last aisle, just to make sure there wasn't anything else I needed, I almost fainted.
