-2 weeks later-

She was running, lost in her own world and leaving her dad far behind her. She needed this run, they always helped clear her mind for a little while. It wasn't raining either so Charlie decided to tag along since they had been getting on well together the past few days.

"Bella!" Charlie called, panting and huffing, curling over to rest his hands on his knees. "G-Give me a second here...I'm old okay..." He huffed.

Bella stopped running, instead she looked around while waiting and saw that they were at the local diner. Her stomach then rumbled and she walked back to her dad. "We can call that a day if you want, go and grab dinner at the diner?" She asked, jabbing her thumb towards the small building.

Charlie was still wheezing, but stuck his thumb up in agreement and they set off walking over the road. They walked in silence, content with that since they both enjoyed it.

"You should take up track at school Bells, you'd really enjoy it or I dunno just something that you might like to do to keep you busy?" He said, trying to drop some conversation between them as he pulled open the diner door.

Bella shrugged. "I can look into it, but I don't wanna rush into any commitments yet, it's only been 2 weeks." She said, looking around the diner for somewhere to sit.

Charlie hummed. "I suppose that's true, but I can see you're getting stir crazy. You gotta make some friends and do something to keep you busy or you'll start hating being here." He said, turning when he heard his name being called.

Just as Bella opened her mouth to tell him she did hate being here, his attention was taken to a group sat a table and he quickly walked over, leaving her to follow after him and when she walked down the diner she passed a blonde head and vanilla smell and she froze, looking to her right side and seeing Rosalie fucking Hale sat in the booth in all of her glory with the same creepy guy from her first day.

Rosalie had a frown on her face, staring longingly out of the window while ignoring what the guy was saying. She didn't even notice Bella right next to her.

"Bella come over here and say hi to Billy and his son!"

Rosalie's head snapped to her and she quickly walked away to her dad, throwing on a polite smile when he introduced her to Billy and Jacob even though she remembered them.

She went to say hey to Jacob and jumped back in shock at the buff tan boy that was all hair 2 years ago. "Jesus Jake, you got buff." She said, prodding his bicep.

Jacob grinned at her, flashing a row of pearly whites. "Says you, I bet you've got better abs than me hidden under there." He said.

Bella laughed. She couldn't deny it she looked after herself very well, when she wasn't playing sports she was at the gym or out on runs, always active to keep herself in great shape and she had just the right definition and lean muscle tone.

"Gotta have something to get the girls attention." She said, making a show of her biceps when Jacob laughed with her.

"Nah come on Bella, you know it's all about the size." Jacob continued, the banter between them causing even Charlie and Billy to chuckle.

"Good job I'm bigger than you then." Bella winked, sitting down in the booth next to Jacob who gave her a light shove.

She could feel eyes on her, staring at her and she knew it was Rosalie. She'd done well avoiding the blonde the past 2 week, they didn't share any classes together besides from gym, but Rosalie was in different groups and changing rooms to her so they never clashed and Bella was glad about it.

The others in the booth chatted away, ordering food and Bella couldn't stop her mind from wondering about the blonde only a few feet away. She got so lost in thought that when her food was placed in front of her she didn't even realise.

Food went down and Bella excused herself to the bathroom, relieving herself and then washing her hands, stopping to look at herself in the mirror.

The bathroom door opened and in walked none other than the blonde bombshell she had been avoiding. Their eyes met in the mirror Bella was looking into before Rosalie went into one of the stalls, closing the door behind her without another sound being made.

Bella's mind was telling her to just walk out of that bathroom, to just leave them both at passerby's, but her heart grew heavy at the thought of leaving when she knew there was something wrong with the blonde, she just didn't have the willpower to walk away.

Knocking lightly on the stall door, Bella stood still. "Rosalie?" She called, hand hovering against the door. The blonde didn't answer her, but Bella heard her sniffing her nose. "Are you okay?"

Rosalie still didn't say anything and Bella sighed, knowing how stubborn she is. "Come on blondie, open up." She coaxed, but she still had no reaction. "Alright, fine." Bella huffed, pulling away from the door and walking away.

The stall door quickly opened and suddenly there was a shaky hand grabbing her wrist, pulling her backwards and Bella turned, pulling the blonde into her embrace and holding her. Rosalie's knees gave out and they both sank to the floor, Rosalie clinging to her and Bella gently holding her.

"Shh, it's okay Rosalie," Bella whispered, rubbing the blondes back while she sobbed into her shoulder. "I'm here, I've got you." She mumbled and it only made Rosalie cry harder.

Closing her eyes and soothing Rosalie, Bella let herself just indulge in the feeling she had; the comfort at being so close to her. They stayed together like that for a short while until eventually Rosalie pulled back, sniffing and rubbing her nose while looking away from Bella's curious gaze.

Bella lifted her hand up, tucking a strand of Rosalie's hair back behind her ear and wiping away a stray tear running down her cheek. She opened her mouth to say something when banging on the bathroom door interrupted her.

"Rosalie!" Was shouted and the blonde jumped away, quickly wiping her face and trying to leave.

"Hey, hang on," Bella said, quickly grabbing Rosalie's arm to stop her. "You don't need to go out there."

Rosalie flinched, pulling her arm out of Bella's grasp and holding it close to her chest. She looked ready to say something.

"Rosalie what the fuck are you doing in there?!"

The blonde met Bella's eyes and she could see the pain in them. "I'm sorry..." Rosalie whispered, leaving the bathroom and Bella alone.

Standing in shock at how scared the blonde had seemed, Bella quickly left the bathroom to look around, but she wasn't in the diner anymore so she went back to her booth and sat down, her eyes still looking around.

"You okay Bella?" Charlie asked, a worried frown on his face.

Bella turned to look outside, watching as Rosalie was shoved into a car and the boy she was with glaring at her from where he was stood.

"Dad," Bella said. "Who's he?" She asked, pointing to the boy now getting in the car too.

Charlie looked outside and his eyebrows raised. "You mean Royce?" He asked.

Bella nodded.

"Royce King, he moved here about a year ago, his dad owns the town bank. Come to think of it, whenever I see Rosalie he's always close by, they're pretty much inseparable, but it's understandable since I hear that they're together. I think he's 2 years older too." Charlie spoke, turning to look at his daughter. "Why?"

"I don't like him." Bella said, her eyes narrowing when Royce sped out of the parking lot.

Later on that night, Bella was laid on her bed, just staring at her ceiling. She was restless and she couldn't sleep, too wrapped up in her mind about the days events and what was gong on with Rosalie.

But then again, that wasn't the Rosalie that Bella knew. What had happened to the confident and proud girl she once was, running people off with her cold stare or her sarcastic words. Rosalie was a beautiful mean girl and she knew it and she certainly used it, so just who was Rosalie now. Someone that had to hide in bathrooms to conceal emotions and then run off to do what she was told by some boy.

"Fuck..." She mumbled, turning on her side and staring out of her window at the full moon.

It had hurt when she had to leave Rosalie to move to Arizona, but what hurt even more was when Rosalie cut off contact after only a few weeks of her being there. No explanation, no message or call, just dead silence until Bella called again only for the number to have been disconnected.

She spent weeks to months getting over it, but once she had she was finally free of the blonde, but now she's back and this was not how she expected seeing Rosalie again going.

"I missed you Rosalie..." She whispered, curling into her pillow and closing her eyes.

-Next Day-

Bella was sat in maths class, her head resting on her hand while she zoned out. She wasn't paying attention to the teacher at the front and luckily he was leaving her alone for the class. He set out a task for the class to do and left them to work through it.

Out of nowhere water spilled in front of her on the desk and she jerked back, sliding her book away from the spreading water. She blinked in confusion.

"Oh my god," The girl next to her whispered, pulling some pocket tissues out of her bag and wiping at the water. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and knocked over my water bottle!" She said, pushing her glasses up on her frowning face.

Bella looked over to her and smiled. "It's honestly okay, it was an accident. Here, let me help?" Bella asked, grabbing some of the tissues and wiping away the last bit of water, throwing them into the bin next to their desk.

"I'm such a clutz at times, you didn't get water on you, did you?" The girl asked again, organising the desk now the water was gone. "I'm Angela by the way." She finished, smiling at Bella.

The brunette laughed, shaking Angela's hand. "I'd introduce myself, but you probably already know who I am."

Angela gave her a sympathetic smile. "Yeah, the joys of a small town." She said, rolling her eyes. "I actually knew you before you moved, we weren't friends or anything but we had some classes together."

Bella hummed, nodding her head. "I don't really remember much about the people here; once I moved I had a different life." She spoke, pushing the worksheet about on the table. "I never thought I would come back here and I was only 14 back then, my time here is just a blur now."

"You don't remember your old friends?" Angela asked as she wrote answers on the sheet.

"Not really," Bella smiled to herself sadly. "Rosalie was my main focus, once I met her the others weren't important to me like she was. Not in a bad way, but just as in an I don't remember them as clearly as I do Rosalie way."

The two sat in a small silence after Angela nodded her understanding, the two of them working on the activity sheet instead.

Angela fiddled with her pen, biting her lip. "Have you thought about joining any of the clubs the school has?"

Bella shrugged her shoulder. "I've thought about joining some, I was on the track and basketball team back in Arizona, I studied some martial arts too, but I don't wanna rush into anything yet."

"Oh!" Angela jumped up, pointing a finger at Bella. "You should totally join the track team, I'm on it and it's quite a lot of fun, but the basketball team could use some new players too. You should definitely look into it because we live in Forks, it gets boring."

Nodding in acknowledgement Bella and Angela continued to speak throughout the class and then separated when it was the next one, but Bella met up with Angela at lunch and she introduced her to her group of friends.

At least she could tell Charlie that she had made some friends to ease his worries.
