Chapter 2

After taking her things to her old bedroom that she hadn't seen in years Bella decided to see what she could make Charlie for dinner.

"Hey dad, any idea what you'd like for dinner? I'd be happy to cook for you."

"Actually Bells, my friend Billy will be here soon and we'll be having fish fry." This was the most excitement Bella had seen from her father. He comes every Sunday and he'll be bringing his son Jacob too. You remember him don't you? You two used to make mud pies together."

I don't know why he thought I'd remember this kid, I was two when mom and I moved. "I don't remember him dad, but that's fine, hopefully we'll hit off again. You can never have too many friends right?" Hopefully! Bella thought, while trying to stay positive about her new life. Just a year and three months and I'll be graduating and off to college. I can do this! "I'll just make a salad and sides okay dad?"

"Okay kid, thanks," said Charlie as he sat back in his recliner with his vitamin R.

Just as Bella finished up in the kitchen she heard a noise outside.

"That'll be Billy and Jake," Charlie said "Oh and they have your welcome home present for you too Bells."

Well now I know why Charlie was so excited for them to come over.

"What? Dad you didn't need to get me anything."

"Well, you'll need to be able to get to school tomorrow and they had this sitting in their garage so I bought it from them. Hope you like it."

I couldn't believe it when I walked outside And saw a '66 Mustang sitting in the driveway. "This is for me? No way! Thank you so much dad. It's gorgeaous.."

"Yeah, this is for, glad you like it kid."

Just then a rather large and good looking guy walked up to Bella.

' "Hey, I'm Jacob, you probably don't remember me. I rebuilt the motor and just finished the bodywork. Hope you like her, the color isn't original so if you want something different just let me know."

It took Bella a while to realize she was staring, but she finally was able to speak. "Thanks Jacob, it's great and the color's perfect. I love black cars. Thank you so much." This is so cool." I couldn't believe Charlie bought me such a great car. "Do you want a ride to school tomorrow?"

"Oh, I go to school on the res."

"That's too bad, it would have been great to know someone on my first day. Starting in the middle of the year is tough."

"I'm sure you'll have an easy time making friends."

"Thanks, I hope so."

"Come on kids, lets eat!" yelled Billy from his perch on the porch.

"Well, this was great, but I need to head off to bed, bid first day of school tomorrow and all." Bella said after cleaning up after dinner." It was great seeing you both again." And with that Bella settled in for the night.
