MilesOfSmiles13: I loved your review! It made me laugh (in a good way). It was so full of energy.
hardygirl87: More is on its way!
I arrived home from school, and I went immediately up the stairs. It was just one of those kinds of days where you don't feel like it's worth it anymore, but I knew that too many people depended on me. I wasn't going to let them down at all.
When I entered my room, Edward entered his at the same time. Did I ever tell you that I Edward and I were neighbors? If I didn't, well, you know now! I remember the first time I found out also.
Flashback
It was my third day of school, and I was just plain tired of all the rain. It was not helping my coordination at all. I am a big klutz, and I will always be a klutz. I walked outside, and I slipped as soon as I took a step.
"Ow," I groaned as I landed on my butt. I looked to see that their was a huge patch of ice right by the door. I scowled at it before looking around to see if there was something to help me up.
"Bella," I heard Edward call. He came running over at me with grace. I was jealous at that fact. "Do you need help?" I sighed and nodded. He held out his hand, and I grabbed it. There was a spark of electricity, but he didn't seem to realize it. Maybe it was just me?
"Forks does not help the uncoordinated," I stated. He chuckled.
"I'm getting a ride to school from my mom, do you want to come with," I questioned.
"I was going to walk," I stated.
"Come on then," Edward said as he dragged me next door. "Mom would be happy to give you a ride."
"I don't want it to be too much trouble," I said.
"It won't be," he scoffed. "Let's go."
"Alright then," I sighed. We walked into the house then.
"Mom," Edward called.
"Yes honey," a woman said as she stepped out of the kitchen.
"Can we give Bella a ride," Edward questioned. "She's Chief Swan's daughter, our next door neighbor."
"It's nice to meet you, Bella," the woman smiled.
"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Cullen," I greeted, hiding behind Edward. He just laughed lightly.
"Please, call me Esme," his mother said as she took out her keys. "You two ready to go?" We both nodded, and we all headed out the door.

He waved at me, and I waved back before looking in my closet to see what I would wear to work tonight. I bit my lip before finding my jeans and buttoned up shirt. I threw them on before heading downstairs. I quickly cooked something up for dad, and then I got on my boots before heading out the door. Dad was coming up the driveway then.
"Dad, dinner is on the table for you," I said as I walked to the truck and he walked to the house.
"Thanks Bells," he said before running into the house. He loved my cooking. It was probably because neither of my parents were able to cook, and I was fortunate enough to be able to. I hoped into my truck, and I entered it. Just as I was backing up, I had to immediately stop because Tanya was driving wildly down the street. I rolled my eyes at her car as she passed me and pulled abruptly into Edward's drive way. She walked to the door, and I was hit with another memory that still pained me to this day.
Flashback
It was almost the end of sophomore year, and Edward and I were supposed to hang out all weekend, just a best friend kind of weekend. I was so excited by it, and I couldn't wait for it. All day I had been ready for it, and now was my chance to steal Edward away from Tanya for at least a little while. She was always around when I didn't want her to be, and it annoyed me to extremes, but I didn't say anything about it either. I could never hurt Edward any way.
"Hey Bella," Edward greeted me after school.
"Hey Edward," I smiled.
"Edward, are you ready," Tanya questioned.
"Ready for what," I asked. I didn't know what she was on. Edward and I were supposed to hang out.
"Yeah, just give me a sec," he called back. She walked towards her mom's car.
"Where are you going," I questioned.
"Oh, Tanya wanted me to come over to her house for a dinner with the family," he smiled. I felt tears start coming to my eyes, but I looked away before he saw them. I started walking off. "Bella?" I just kept walking. I was soon out of the parking lot, and I was on my way home. I told my Dad last night that I wouldn't need a ride, but now I see that was a mistake.
Just at that moment, it started raining. I just kept on walking though. "Bella," he called from Tanya's car. I didn't turn to look at him. I just kept on walking, hoping that I would get home soon.
All of the sudden, I feel myself being pulled around. Edward was standing right in front of me.
"Edward, we have to go," Tanya called.
"I'll meet you at your house," he shouted back. Tanya's mom sped off. I tried moving away from Edward, but his grip was too tight.
"Let go, Edward," I stated.
"Not before you tell me what's going on," he argued.
"You'll think of it soon enough," I said. He just looked at me with confusion. Then realization struck him, but Esme came over by us before he could say anything.
"Get in," she demanded. I ran over to get in, and the only seat was in the front.
"You can sit on my lap, Bella," Emmett suggested as he opened the door for me. I jumped on his lap before Edward could stop me, and Edward got into the front. Esme drove off then.
"So what were you two planning to do for your best friend weekend," Esme questioned.
"There is no best friend weekend," I stated while looking out the window.
"I thought that it was this weekend that you two were hanging out though," she said, confused.
"It was nothing," I stated. Edward kept quiet the whole time. No one else said anything.
Before Esme reached their house, I jumped out of the car and ran for mine. They started shouting for me, but I just ignored them as I entered the house. I slammed the door shut because I thought that I heard running, and I slid to the floor letting my emotions out. A great weekend just turned terrible.
Suddenly, there was pounding on the door. "Bella," Edward yelled when he couldn't open the front door. "Let me in!" I just stayed silent, and soon the knocking stilled. I took a breath before getting up and going up to my room. I jumped in surprise when he was there in my room.
"What are you doing here, Edward," I questioned. "I have a lot of homework I have to start, and then I'm going shopping with Alice later."
"Bella, you are one hell of a bad liar," he stated. "You finished your homework already, and you would never go shopping with Alice."
"You can ask her if you want to see that I'm not lying," I hissed. "Now get out. You have your girlfriend's house to go over to, remember?"
"But Bella," he stated. "I have to apologize for—."
"You have nothing to apologize for, but you said you would go, now go," I interrupted. He sighed before climbing out of the window. That was the first time that I was stood up by him, and it wasn't the last.
End of Flashback
I reached work, and I immediately started doing my job.
