Much better with the reviews this time people! Keep it up! Although I feel that I should mention if things go downhill in the review department again, those of you who have left reviews should log in so that I can DocX my story to you!!! I would feel really bad if I got a review from you and then couldn't send you the rest of the story. Also--Twilight and its affiliates do not belong to me. Unfortunately. :( Lastly this story is all canon couples, so none of you should go and get random crazy ideas, OK? And now on with the show!!!!! :) :) :) :)

It was a few minutes later that I heard the screech of brakes on wet pavement and the slam of a car door. I peered down through the branches and saw a very confused looking blond guy get out of the car. He looked up and saw me in the tree and put a finger to his lips as he walked to the front door and rang the bell.

"Dammit, Bella, get in here now. I'll deal with you after I take care of this person. I waited until Charlie stomped out of my room and was safely downstairs before climbing back through my window and slinking quietly down the stairs, picking leaves out of my hair as I went.

I heard the front door open and Charlie's less than nice greeting of "Can I help you?"

"Yes, I'm Jasper Hale and I've just moved here with my family. I was trying to get to the store but I took a wrong turn and can't seem to find my way back. Could you please point me to Bogachiel Way?" (It's a real street in Forks–I do my research :)) As he spoke, Charlie started to look content and happy, like he used to be with my mom, before abruptly falling asleep right where he was standing, not even falling over.

"Oh what the he–" I started, but he cut me off before I could finish.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Maybe. Does he do that often? My father's a doctor, maybe he should take a look at him. Anyway I have to leave now, but don't hesitate to call in the future alright? I'm happy to be of service, though I might need a better excuse in the future. Maybe Alice could give me–" His incessant rambling ceased as he closed the door behind him. Somehow Charlie was now sleeping in a chair with his head on the table, snoring loudly like he sometimes does when he's had one too many drinks.

What the hell had just happened here? Not that I wasn't extremely grateful for his sudden appearance but still what the hell???

I went upstairs and peeled off my clothing so I could put on my pj's and get ready for bed.

The next morning broke dull and grey, but for some reason my mood couldn't be brighter. Maybe it was the fact that for the first time ever I had escaped Charlie's brutality, or the fact that he didn't remember the fact that he was supposed to be mad at me when I went down stairs. I really didn't care what the reason was for my happiness, I just prayed that it would last. Unfortunately, with my luck, the possibility that something could ruin my day was extremely high.

I drove to school in my old truck, and found a parking spot that was kind of secluded, but not so far that if it was pouring when school let out I'd have to run so as to even have a prayer of not getting soaked. I saw Jasper and told him 'thank you.' He just nodded and the tiny girl holding his hand smiled at me and introduced herself as Alice, Alice Cullen. I told her it was nice to meet her and that I would love to stay and chat but I couldn't be late for Biology again or Mr. Banner would freak. She nodded her ascent and told me she'd talk to me later. I personally doubted I would ever talk to her again but she seemed pretty confidant that we would.

I was still mulling over the brief conversation when I walked into class and sat down in my usual seat, staring out the window at the snow that was softly beginning to fall. Was it time to break out the snow chains already? Personally, snow wasn't exactly my favorite kind of weather in the world, but it was nice to look at through a window.

I was still thinking when I heard a chair scrape across the floor next to me. I looked up to see yet another sibling in the Cullen/Hale family. The only difference between the rest of the ones that I had met and this bronze haired guy was their attitude toward me. The rest of them had been extremely nice to me. He, on the other hand, was glaring at me as if he wished that I would somehow dissappear under his gaze.

Weird.
