So hey people. I am so bruised!!! :( I went to broomball with my church on Saturday and got beat up dude. I have a bruise on my knee that looks like I have two knees on the same leg. It's disgusting…… But anyways here's the new chappy and I hope you guys like it.

Disclaimer: (I forgot to put this in the last 2 chapters) I don't own the characters only the plot line.

Chapter 3: Life Hurts, Especially When It Hits You In The Face

EPOV

My family and I decided that Carlisle and Esme would fly to SoCal before our housekeeper, Emmett, Jazz, and I drove down. It would take us at least a week and a half but Carlisle and Esme think it's best for all of us. All I kept thinking was, I need to get to Bella as fast as possible. *Sigh* At least I'm eventually going to get there. I don't know whether or not I'll be alive because of Emmett's stupid songs but I will get there. I just hope I'll be able to find Bella quickly.

I woke up that morning exhausted, still in my clothes from the day before and not knowing why. I tried to think back and as I thought I noticed that my Ipod was still playing those three songs on repeat. WAIT! I thought as I Need You To Love Me by Barlowgirl came on again, Sam….. One tear fell down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. That's the last tear I'm going to shed for him. I got up and called Alice and Rosalie. I told them about Sam leaving and they comforted me. This is why they're absolutely my bestest friends in the whole world. As I was talking to them I looked out my window and saw a moving truck across the street. My old neighbors had decided to move to Africa, don't ask me why, and sold their beautiful house to some family. It seemed that the family had just arrived and I couldn't help but want to go meet them. "Hey Ali and Rose, can you guys come over? The family across the street just started moving in and I want to go greet them. Do you want to join?" All I heard was a screechy, "YES!!!" and then they hung up on me.

I decided to get dressed in a light blue summer dress with yellow daisies on it and some white flats. I pinned back my bangs with a yellow bow and put some eyeliner on. I skipped down the stairs but tripped down the last few. Thank God no one else was home. I ate a bagel with cream cheese then sat at my counter waiting for Ali and Rose. I picked up my light pink phone from the counter (I really do have a light pink phone, lol :) and noticed that I had one new message from: Ali XOXO. All it said was that they would be there in a few minutes. I turned on the TV in the kitchen and turned it to the news. Nothing interesting was happening so they were talking about Zack Effron cheating on Vanessa Hugdens. Who cares? I thought, nothing interesting ever happens in Escondido. We need some excitement. I was broken out of my thoughts by my doorbell going off. I jumped up and ran to open the door. Once I opened it I was attacked my two people giggling madly. "BELLA!! I'M SO SORRY ABOUT SAM! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THAT!!!" "Ali you don't need to scream! I'm right here." I said to a over excited Alice. "Let's go greet those new neighbors, yeah?" "Okay!" They chorused. We closed my front door behind us and walked across the street. There was furniture and boxes lying everywhere around the yard. We dodged them and walked to the front door. We rang the doorbell that was opened in less then 2 seconds by a beautiful woman. She looked stressed but once she saw us her eyes became very excited and happy. "Hello. May I help you?" She said with a beautiful voice. "Yes I said," I said, "are you the family moving into this house?" " Yes I am and you are?" "Oh sorry!" I said embarrassed, "I'm Bella Swan, I live right across the street, and this is Alice and Rosalie Brandon. They are my best friends and decided to accompany me when I decided to come say hello." "Oh nice to meet you! I'm Esme Cullen and I just moved from Forks, Washington with my family. My husband, Carlisle is actually just out in the garage." I dropped my jaw, "C…… C…… Cullen?" I said barely above a whisper. Edward's last name was Cullen but his parent's names were Elizabeth and Edward Sr. not Esme and Carlise. "Do you have a son?" I asked. Alice and Rosalie were staring at me weird but I just kept my eyes locked on Esme. "Yes I do. His name is Jasper. He's actually about your guys age." I knew my facial expression went from anticipation to pure frustration even without the three confused looks. "It was very nice to meet Mrs. Cullen and I can't wait to meet the rest of your family but for right now I have to go home. See you again." I turned and ran across the street, noticing that I heard two sets of feet follow after me. I opened my front door and went to go sit on a bar stool by the kitchen counter. Alice and Rose followed suit looking at me inquiringly. "Edward's last name is Cullen." I simply said and they looked at me like I was crazy. "But she said her son's name was Jasper not Edward." Alice said like I already didn't know that. "I know but how common is that last name. Maybe she's related to him or something." I thought about the possibilities and then looked up at the silence. Alice and Rose were staring at each other with sad expressions. "Bella, honey," Rose started to say before coming to lay a hand on my shoulder. "Ali and I both think it would be better for you to forget Edward Cullen. You talk about him all the time and we think you need to get over him. I know this is hard but you haven't seen each other in 6 years. How do you even know if he feels the same way anymore? You can't just keep yourself closed off to guys, waiting for a guy you may not ever see. I can't bare to see you like this anymore, keeping your hopes up when they always come crashing down." Silent tears were streaming down my face while Alice and Rose both hugged me. I didn't know what to say so all I said was, "Okay, I'll try." They grinned back at me and I faked a smile. I knew that I couldn't ever forget about him because I knew somewhere deep down inside me knew that somehow we'll see each other. I don't know if I'm making that feeling up but I can't just let it go. I just wont let Rose and Ali know that. We spent the rest of the day hanging out and deciding what to do together for the summer since school was going to be out in half a week. After they left I decided to study for finals and then go to sleep. All the while I couldn't get emerald green eyes out of my head.

1 Week Later:

It's summer break and Rose, Alice and I are on our way to a stupid summer camp that our parents are making us go to; For the WHOLE summer. *Sigh* At least all three of us are going. It took us forever to leave because Alice insisted to pack for all three of us. I think she packed us a bathing suit for every single day and at least 4 outfits a day. We have so many bags that I think she packed all of our closets. We are now currently sitting in my parents van listening to out Ipods and watching Princess Bride. It should take us about 4 hours to get to the campgrounds. Wonderful, I thought as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on. Could this summer get any worse?

EPOV

We got to our new home about 2 days ago and barely alive. Emmett sang the ENTIRE way here. I think he ever sang in his sleep. We were all going mad by the time we finally got to Escondido and to our new home. Unfortunately, when we got her we found out that Carlisle and Esme are sending us to a stupid summer camp. I don't know what I'm going to do about Bella. I mean how am I supposed to find her after summer camp if summer camp is for the WHOLE summer. I can't believe this. And did I mention that we're going to end up being 3 days late? We were supposed to get to the camp grounds 3 days ago and now everyone's going to stare at us. I started packing the stuff I barely put away and went into the bathroom and got my toiletries. I heard Emmett playing video games and Esme yelling at him to go get packed. Since I was done I took out my guitar and started to play a tune. I can't wait till the piano gets here, I thought as I strummed. But wait, I won't be able to play when it does come because I won't BE here. I put away my guitar, picked up my suitcase in one hand and my guitar case in the other and headed down stairs. Here I come, oh irritating summer.

So I know this chapter kind of sucks but I wanted to get chapter 3 out and it was hard making the transitions to this part of the story. The next chapter should be A LOT better and I'm really sorry it took me awhile to update. I just had a pretty full and brutal weekend :P Anyways have a wonderful spring break and I'll update as soon as possible.
