Chapter Three
Bella's POV
I woke to grey clouds outside and couldn't be more happy. I'd missed this weather. As much as I loved California and the blinding sun, I'd missed the unpredictability of Forks weather. I ran through my morning routine and was just finishing my breakfast, which was cereal as I wanted to have something easy, when Charlie made an appearance. He seemed shocked to see me up and coherent.
"Bells? You do know that its 6.30 in the morning. On a Sunday?" He told me, making it a question.
"Yeah dad. I'm used to early is all." I replied, which is totally true. Before he had came down and I was sitting here alone, I had actually been thinkingI could have slept in for once, but I wasn't tired enough to go back up to bed.
"Did you get everything unpacked last night?" He asked as he sat down with coffee and toast.
"Er, no actually. I have too much stuff," I laughed. "I'm going to head to Seattle to pick up some drawers once my car gets here, which should be soon." I smiled happily with that thought. "Would you like to come?" I asked as an afterthought.
"Well, er…I…"
"It's okay to say no dad." I told him. I knew he hated shopping, even the furniture kind. I, myself loved shopping. It was the only time I was alone most of the time. Except for fans.
"Well I sort of had plans with Billy to go fishing, but if you want me to go…" He trailed off. Ahh yeah, the weekly fishing trips. I laughed, some things never change, which I was glad of.
"Dad, it's fine. Go fishing, have a great time." I'd have to go book shopping to find more ways to cook fish, I decided. Cooking is a passion, it was the only other time I was ever alone. Without fans. I love just experimenting with food. I was especially good at baking though. Every year for my mom's birthday I would bake her a different three tier cake, considering she had big parties every year and everyone always asked what shop we bought it from. We carried on talking about how I was feeling about starting school and other random things till there was a knock on the door. I jumped out of my seat and launched myself in the direction of the front door. My baby was here!
Jacob's POV
I kept the fact that my all-time best friend was coming home from everyone in the pack and the imprints. For the simple fact that I know that Emily and Kim are huge fans. Huge. The guys who hadn't imprinted were also huge fans, not of her music or acting abilities but because of her looks. I understood that though. I had hoped I would imprint on her. Last time she was in Seattle passing through on her last tour, just after my first phase, I put all my concentration into looking into her eyes and nothing. Nothing. To say I was sad was an understatement, Sam had finally put an Alpha command on me to stop thinking about that moment. I hadn't told them she was coming because I didn't want to get their hopes up. She was an international superstar. Getting a year off was a hard task, as she told me. I had kind of been waiting for the phone call to tell me it was off. I had been really excited when she first phoned me up, but I hadn't gotten my hopes up until this morning when Charlie showed up for fishing with dad and brought with him the good news that she had arrived. She was here. He also told me she said she would phone me some time today to talk, so I was going to keep hold of my phone religiously today. She was apparently in Seattle, something to do with too many clothes or something. I laughed to myself, I don't think Bells has changed much apart from her now shopping obsession. When I went to visit her in California nearly two years ago we were always shopping, which she reasoned was one of the only ways she was left alone. Except for fans.
"Hey Jake." Seth boomed right next to my ear, making me jump and making him laugh. "You were so absorbed in your thoughts that you didn't even hear me coming." He laughed again. "What were you thinking so hard about anyway?" He asked.
"I'd rather not repeat myself to have to tell the girls." I said. Now that she was here I could tell everyone to expect her. They all knew I was friends with her and every time she came up in conversation I was bugged to near-death for info.
"Just the girls?" He asked.
"No. Everyone." I laughed. When we got to Sam and Emily's house we found the whole pack and the imprints, apart from Paul as he was on patrol, in the living room. That's okay though, I thought. I didn't think Paul really likes Izzie, even though he doesn't know Bella.
"Hey guys." Seth and I chorused to which we received 'heys' from everyone.
"There's some food left over in the kitchen." Emily added. Telling them about Bells could wait, I thought, food comes first.
I had just finished polishing off, with Seth, everything Emily had left for us when a howl pierced through the air. I got to my feet with all of the other wolves and headed out, leaving my phone - it's not like I could phase with it -on the kitchen table and the imprints - Kim and Emily - watching television in the living room.
Bella's POV
Seattle was hectic, not as crazy as Los Angeles, but after being spotted a couple of times in L.A. it's then the norm. Here though? It was a new occurrence, so I was being stopped by near enough everyone. Not really great when you want some time alone to shop but I didn't really care because I was used to it. I'd picked out a set of two drawers that matched my bed's frame perfectly and was told they would be delivered in the afternoon. I didn't have to rush off, so I decided to do a little retail therapy. I was currently in changing rooms with a handful of clothes when I remembered that I had wanted to phone Jake. I grabbed my phone out of my next season Louis Vuitton bag and speed dialed his number. It was picked up on the fifth ring.
"Hello?" A voice answered, hesitantly. I looked down at my phone display to make sure that I had dialed right. I had. The voice did not belong to my best friend though.
"Who's this?" I asked, I didn't mean the rude tone but I couldn't help it.
"Ohmygod!" The voice squealed, causing me to edge the phone away from my ear. "Its HER!" Whoever it was, was currently talking to someone else close by. I sighed. Obviously Jake had got a girlfriend or something and neglected to tell me.
"Just let Jake know I phoned please." I said curtly, hanging up. I picked up my bag and headed out of the changing rooms and the mall. I sat in my car for around five minute thinking; Jake had a girlfriend and didn't even tell me, his best friend. I know I was never around, but we spoke nearly everyday. I finally put my car in drive, speeding out of the car park. To say I was sad was an understatement.
