Chapter 2:

As I drifted off to sleep I started to dream about my best friend, Jacob. We had grown up together, our mothers were best friends and our father's are too. When my mother left and his passed away he transferred to my school so we could see each other everyday. I've never told him about Charlie but sometimes I just wanted to.

In my dream Jacob and I were walking along the beach at La Push, where he lived. We were talking about school when we saw 5 strange figures heading towards us. I couldn't quite make them out and when they got close enough to see, my alarm woke me up.

I sat up on my bed breathing heavily. After I calmed down I got up and made Charlie eggs on toast with some bacon. Charlie came down and ate it without a word, as usual, he finished and grabbed his coat and went to work. He was the chief of police in Forks and had long shifts.

After I finished the dishes I headed upstairs, had a shower and got ready for the day. I decided to wear skinny jeans, a T-shirt and a hoodie.

I jumped into my rusty old red truck and drove to school.

When I got to school I hopped out and was greeted by Jacob instantly. "Hey Bells, what sup?" he asked with a smile, as usual. Jake is one of the most happiest and bubbliest people I know.

"Hey Jake, nothing you?"

"nothing, just another day in this hell hole" he sighed

I laughed "yeah, your right but in two years we'll be able to leave"

"yeah but then we have college and work" he and I both sighed

We continued to talk about various things like what we did last night, of course I didn't mention Charlie. When the bell rang I headed off to English and Jake went to maths.

The day was passing rather slowly, in English I talked to Angela. In trig I talked to Jessica. In government I talked to Eric and in Spanish I talked to Angela again.

Ang and I made our way to the cafeteria, we sat down with our friends. We talked about various things such as school and the weekend.

Its Thursday and everyone is thinking about going to the beach Saturday. I accepted the offer knowing Charlie would be out fishing.

After the bell rang Jake took me to Bio on his way to history.

"Hey" he broke the silence "can I go over to yours tonight?" he asked looking a little sad.

"sure" I accepted eagerly. If Jake came over Charlie wouldn't hurt me.

"great I'll follow you home" he seemed happier then he had been before as he walked away.

I entered the class and saw someone in my seat. He had golden brown, messy hair and bright green eyes you could melt in. I walked over to him and sat in the other seat at the table. "hello I'm Edward Cullen" he said

"hi, I'm Bella Swan" I thought desperately for something else to say just to hear his velvety voice again. "so your new here?" that was a stupid question, of course he was new! What the fuck was I thinking?!

"yes my family and I came from Alaska"

"cool" was all I could say before Mr. Baker started the class.

After class I got up and headed to gym thinking about Edward Cullen. He was so hot and nice, I was glad he'd be my lab partner. I didn't realise I was smiling until Jake pointed it out. "Bells what are you so happy about?" he asked with a mischief grin.

"nothing, just happy to be going to gym"

"yeah right, don't lie to me Bella, I know you too well" well that was true we had been friends since birth.

We headed into gym, I hated gym because I was so uncoordinated but I also loved it because it was the only class that I had with Jake.

Today we were doing Volley Ball. I was on a team with Jake, Jessica and Mike. Well they were my friends on that team, there was also Kyle, Stacie and the new chick, Alice, Edward's twin sister. She was short, pixie like with short black hair pointing everywhere, she also has the same bright green eyes Edward does. She didn't really seem to enjoy it either and she stayed up the back with me, so I decided to talk to her.

"Hey, I'm Bella Swan" I smiled, she returned the smile.

"I'm Alice Cullen"

"oh your Edward's sister" I said hoping to get answers about Edward. Out of her.

"yeah, were twins. I also have an older brother named Emmet, he's a year older"

"cool, so big family?" I asked

"not really, I liked to think five people is an average sized family"

"cool I with I had siblings" I sighed. I really wanted an older brother to protect me from Charlie.

"you're an only child? I wish I was sometimes" she sighed

"what, do the boys pick on you cause you the little sis?" I asked with a smile

"yeah" she sighed

We continued to talk through gym about family, friends and school. It was nice but I didn't find out much about Edward except that he was a good musician and was very smart.

After gym we had showers and walked to the parking lot together. She left and walked over to a silver Volvo, where a bigger, taller guy was, I assumed it was Emmet, Alice said he was well built but I didn't think he would have so much muscle. He looked like a body builder.

A few minutes later when I was hopping into my car, I saw Edward walk out and I was startled when Jake came up from behind me and asked if we were leaving and I said yes.

In the car I kept smiling to myself that Charlie wouldn't be hurting me for a few hours at least. I was also thinking that I should invite Jake to stay over on Friday night and then we can go to the beach together.

We got home and Jake parked his car on the footpath. I opened the front door and walked in with Jake a few seconds behind me.

"so you hungry?" I asked. Trying to brake the akward silence.

"umm not really" ok something was terribly wrong with Jake, he wasn't his usual happy, bubbly self and he wasn't hungry.

"ok, what's wrong" I demanded

"well" he paused for a second "it's my dad, I think he's really sick and may die"
