A/N: I'm going to Florida Sunday morning. I'm taking my laptop but i'm not sure if the hotel will have internet access. If it does, then i will have quite a few chapters to post for you, considering we're driving from Ohio, and i'll have nothing better to do. However, if it does not, i will post all the chapters i write the minute i get home. Well, here's chapter three. I still have no idea where its going. The end was supposed to be saved for later parts but i'm running out of ideas so i'm just gonna go for it now even though its only chapter three. Well here you are.

"Bella, I know you would love to just sit around the house and do nothing, but honestly I don't give a damn. All day its what does Bella want? Does Bella want to do this? Does she wanna go here? Oh no, I'm Bella and I'm going to be stupid and sit around the house all day. No. Not today. Today I'm calling the shots!" I was leaning against the wall wide eyed. Emmett might as well had a flashlight in my face the way he was interrogating me.
"But…"
"No buts missy. Now I have all these human games planned out! Its gonna be so much fun!" He said with excitement.
I put on a smile and faked the enthusiasm. "What exactly are we playing?"
"Well….." He picked me up and carried me outside with inhuman speed. "I read all about this seek and hide game."
"Hide and Seek." I corrected.
"Great! So you've played it before, I'm going to hide in the woods. You count to 25 and come find me. Okay? Okay. Close your eyes." I did as I was commanded. "Now count." I opened my eyes and he was gone.
"1.. 2... 3... 4...forget this." I smirked to myself and walked inside. The house was strangely silent. Carlisle and Esme had left yesterday on an extended hunting trip. But I had no idea where Rose and Jasper were.
"Jasper…. Rosalie? Where are you?"
"We're in here Bella." Jasper's voice rang and I couldn't help but smile.
"Bella! I hid for a whole minute and you didn't find me! I told you I was hiding in the woods not in the house!"
"Enough Emmett. Bella doesn't want to play your stupid little human games." Rose snapped.
Emmett started to say something but didn't. A glum look appeared on his face and he walked out of the room. "Bella, are you about ready to go home? I'm sure if Charlie ends up coming to find you and you're here without parental supervision he won't be to happy."
"I'm sure he won't be happy to hear about Edward either. But I'd rather him not know that Carlisle and Esme aren't here. I'll just need to get my stuff."
"Already got it." Jasper said with a smile. "I'll drive you. Let's go."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs. "Bye Rose. Bye Emmett." I yelled as we walked out the front door.
I slid into the passenger seat of his car and we were off. Just like the rest of them, Jasper liked to drive fast. He slowed down almost immediately. "I'm sorry." He said. He must have been able to feel my fear.
"Its okay."
"Good," he smiled. "Are you going to be at school tomorrow?"
"Unless I end up falling out of my window or something, then yes."
"Don't get any ideas. We'll pick you up tomorrow morning. Right after Charlie's gone."
"You don't have to. I don't want you to go out of your way."
"But I want to." At this point we were sitting in the drive way. I turned to open the door but Jasper put his hand on my shoulder and I turned to face him. He tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear and I blushed. He smiled. "I'm here Bella. If you need anyone to talk to, my number is in your phone. And you know where to find me. Don't be afraid to call. If you need anything, I'm here. We're all here. You want the sun, you want the moon? I'll buy it, its yours. Anything at all."
The blush on my cheeks deepened as I smiled back at him. "Thanks Jasper."
"You should probably get inside, Charlie's watching."
Damn it Charlie. He ruined everything. "Yeah, I know. I'll see you in the morning." I stepped out of the car, bewildered at how much it thrilled me that I would see him tomorrow. But I wasn't sure why.
"Did Edward get a new car?"
"No, that wasn't Edward, Dad. That was Jasper."
"Why didn't Edward bring you home? I told you that boy was no good." As if that helped anything!
"We broke up Dad. But I really don't want to talk about it. I just want to go to bed."
He didn't argue. I guess he didn't want to deal with me crying, although I was sure that wasn't going to happen again. I took and quick shower and changed into my favorite pair of sweats. My room was exactly how I had left it Friday morning. My CD player was still in the center of the table with Mayday Parade still in it. My computer was still on and the screen saver that Edward had made me, using pictures of my friends and family was on. Surprisingly enough, remembering him making that, and that he had bought me the CD, didn't hurt me. It made me smile at the memories.
The next morning Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were all in Rose's M3, outside my house the minute Charlie left. I hurried out to the car and slid into the back seat next to Jasper. "Good morning Bella," chimed Rosalie.
"Good morning." I answered.
"How did you sleep?" Jasper asked curiously.
"Fine actually." I replied.
"Really? No nightmares?"
"None at all." At that point we were pulling into the parking lot of school. Rose drove around until she eventually found a parking spot.
"Bella," Emmett turned around in his seat to look at me. "I can guarantee you that everyone is going to ask you where Edward is. And you can't tell them he is with Alice, they're supposed to be brother and sister. Carlisle told the administration they're parents showed up, and wanted them to come live with them, and they're somewhere in Ohio."
"But she's your mom too, Emmett. Won't they wonder why they didn't take you?"
"We've got it covered. I refused to go. Simple right?"
"If you say so." I agreed. We all stepped out of the car and began walking to class. It turns out, they all got their schedules changed so I always had a class with at least one of them.
(A/N: I know Rose ,Jasper, and Emmett are all a year older but not in this story. It wont work out to my liking=])
Emmett was right. Everyone did ask me where Edward was, and Alice too. When I gave them the Ohio story they asked if we had broken up. I said yes and most of them got a worried look on their faces, remembering the last time. I assured them it wasn't going to be like that this time, that I was okay with it. But I don't think they fully believed me.
During lunch Rose and I planned that she would come over after school so Charlie could meet my new best friend. She dropped off Jasper and Emmett close to The Cullen house and drove on to my house. I then remembered, that she had never been to my house.
"You've never been to my house before, have you?" I asked curiously.
"Nope, I've been outside to keep an eye on things at times but never inside."
"There's a first time for everything. Charlie's going to love you!"
"You really think so?" She asked sheepishly.
"Duh, who wouldn't love you?"
"Awe, Thank you Bella."
"Your welcome."
We pulled into the drive way and made our way up to the front door. I swung the door open and said, "well this is it."
"Awe this is so cute!" She replied enthusiastically.
I started making Charlie's dinner and Rose sat at the dining room table. We talked about anything and everything. Rose had a million questions. She asked about my previous boyfriends, my mother, my taste in music, favorite movies, and of course, Edward.
"You do miss him. You'd have to be an idiot not to know that. But I can see that you're getting better. It's only been a few days, but the color in your cheeks has returned."
I heard the slamming door of Charlie's cruiser and the door opened a minute later. "Hey Bells. Who's your friend?" He asked stunned as she smiled at him.
"This is Rosalie, Dad. She's Edwards sister."
"Oh, nice to meet you. What happened to Alice?"
Rose answered before I could take a breath. "Alice, Emmett and Edward's parents came by a few days ago and Alice and Edward decided they wanted to live with them. So they're somewhere in Ohio. But Emmett stayed here along with me and my brother Jasper."
Charlie ate dinner and soon enough it was time for Rose to leave. "I'll pick you up in the morning." She yelled as she walked to her car. I told Charlie I had a big test tomorrow and really needed to study.
The rest of the week passed in a blur. They picked me up every morning and Rose came home with me almost every day. We had gotten really close and I loved it. They all went hunting at night so they wouldn't have to miss school. Fortunately the sun hadn't come out yet. Jessica kept bringing up Edward in Spanish until I had enough and left the room, getting me a detention.
It was Friday and school had finally ended. Tomorrow was Saturday which meant I got to spend the weekend with the people I loved more than anything in the world. I cleared with Charlie that I was spending the weekend at their house and he agreed.
Jasper's phone started ringing. "Hello? No why? You saw what!? Please tell me you're kidding Alice." Alice?
That was when I heard Edward scream into the phone. "I swear Jasper! It's too dangerous!"
"I'm sorry Edward, but your opinion no longer matters on the subject."
"Yes it does! Her safety does matter. If you guys would leave her alone none of this would happen!" he shouted. Jasper hid the end button on his phone. And we all stared in wonder at him, waiting for him to tell us what they were talking about.
