Ok so after reading New Moon in less than 24 hours I guess I was just in a very twilightish mood (sorry to all of you who like to be grammatically correct but I am making up a word). Sorry it has taken so long for me to update but babysitting and field hockey has taken over my life it seems. Ok, I know you don't want to sit their and listen to me talk about unimportant stuff so here it goes….
Oh yea but first…
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight or new moon or the characters or anything else that you know was thought up by Stephenie Meyer.
Bella sat Indian style on her bed. In her hand she held a steaming cup of hot chocolate. It may have only been November but it still felt good to hold the steaming mug tightly in her hands. There was something relaxing and soothing about it, like it could melt away all her problems.
Unfortunately Bella knew that it could never really work that way, as nice as that would be. Edward Cullen had stepped back into her life again, right at the point when she had begun to think that maybe there was a chance she could move on. Now that idea seems utterly impossible.
She was furious at him there was no doubt about that but yet she still loved him. It took every once of her self control not to go find him at this very second. She new she could go running back to him whenever she felt like it, if he decided to stay now that he knew she was here.
That thought hit her like a ton of bricks. There it was again that same stupid question that always seemed to plague her mind. What if? What if now that he knew she was here he decided to leave? Would he really do that to her second time? Heck, from the way she had talked to him today he would think she wanted him gone. Oh what had she done? There was no winning in this situation. By acting the way she did he would think she wanted him to leave, but she couldn't just simply accept him back after they way he broke her heart and tore apart her world. Could she?
By now she was panicking. She couldn't bear the thought of him leaving again. She was almost entirely sure she would not be able to do that. There had to be a way to fix this. To make him pay for what he did as best she could but at the same time not push him away. That was something she was going to have to sleep on because at the moment she didn't know what to do.
Bella uncurled her legs from their current pretzel like shape. She went through her nightly rituals, brushing her teeth and hair, turning out the light, that sort of thing. She climbed into bed and curled up in a ball. After several hours of tossing, turning and pondering what on earth she was going to do about the Edward situation she finally fell asleep.
Bella woke up the next morning grinning from ear to ear. In the middle of the night she had come up with what she hoped would be the perfect answer to her problem.
Bella thought back to a friend she had in phoenix. She had been the type of person who was always up to something. She had a solution to almost any problem they had encountered. Most of her sentences began with the words "I have a brilliant master plan". Bella decided this was the closest thing she had ever had to a "brilliant master plan" so she had decided to call it just that. (a/n: sorry if that wasn't really all that important to the story but it is for/in honor of a friend of mine)
However her brilliant master plan involved someone else as well. The first thing she had to do was get that person to agree and that was exactly what she planned on doing that day. It was Sunday and she had no classes. Normally she would be relived to have the break but today she wasn't so sure anymore.
Bella climbed out of bed and took a quick shower. She didn't spend much time on her hair and makeup. Deciding instead to simply tie her hair up into two thick braids and put on a little eye shadow. It didn't matter too much to her how she looked and she knew there was no need to impress the person she was going to see today.
She pulled out her cell phone and flipped it open and started scrolling through the contacts until she found the name she needed. She clicked the SEND button and waited.
"Hello?" came the voice from the other line.
"Alice?"
"Oh my gosh! Bella, Bella Swan?" At this point a loud squeal was heard and Bella ended up having to hold the phone away from her ear for a brief second.
"Oh wow I can't believe its you. I feel so terrible. Oh Jasper says hi, him and Emmett are racing to the other phone to join in this little chat…"
Bell quickly interrupted her "as much as I would love to talk to both of them I sort of need to talk to you about something important, Alice."
"Oh, ok, hold on a second then." She said happily
At this point Alice must have covered the phone with her hand because everything was muffled. Bella could however make out Alice screaming up the stairs to Jasper and Emmett to, as she said "keep away from the phone you two overgrown toddlers". Bella couldn't help but chuckle at this.
"Ok, now down to business, would this important issue be about you and Edward meeting in class the other day." Alice said becoming slightly more serious. Bella sighed; she should have known that Alice would have seen this.
"Alice, if you knew then why didn't you warn Edward? He looked pretty shocked when I saw him." Bella asked curiously
"Well you know just thought I would let things play out they way they where suppose to happen." Once again Bella sighed
"Ok, back to the reason I called, I need you to make sure Edward stays. Please Alice don't let him leave I couldn't loose him twice." Bella said with a small tear running down her cheek. She quickly whipped the tear away with the palm of her hand.
"Consider it done" Alice said very seriously and that was all Bella needed to hear. She started to close the phone but then remembered the other reason she had called.
"Oh, Alice wait, I was umm also wondering if you wanted to get together today? I'm kind of in need of a friend right now" Bella said quickly
"You bet! I'll meet you at the mall in twenty minutes. Bye." Alice replied all in one quick breath.
Typical Alice Bella thought. Shopping and playing dress up Bella had always been two of her favorite past times. Bella was pretty sure they where both two of her least favorite past times, but she wasn't about to give up the chance to hang out with Alice again.
Bella fixed one of her braids then grabbed her purse and headed to the car. She knew the purse was pointless Alice probably wouldn't let her pay for anything anyway. She had ditched her truck a while ago. It had pretty much died on her and Jacob Black had said it would be pointless to try and repair it. So she and Jacob had searched all over for something she could afford. It turned out that a friend of Charlie's was getting rid of their car and sold it to Bella for a decent price. Bella now drove a gold Honda Civic that was much more reliable then her truck. As much as she had loved that truck she trusted the civic much more.
Ok I am ready for the angry mob with pitch forks that are going to come after for me not having Edward in this chapter. I am sorry. I wanted him to be in there too but I just couldn't find a place. Oh and Pshycoreaderperson you'll get a part in honor of you in the next chapter. Don't worry I didn't forget you.
Oh and people REVIEW, please, please, please. The only reason I even got the motivation to write another chapter was because someone reviewed.
Yea you see the little button next to the little rectangle that says SUMIT REVIEW. Click on it! Please and thank you.
