First of all MASSIVE thank you to all the random strangers reading, reviewing etc.
Basically, those of you who either have or make time for this story (and therefore me) make me happier than when I read a particularly amazing fanfiction.
So before I start off again with Bella and Jacob I want to thank everyone either reading reviewing following whatever THANKYOU xxxxx


Snow. In March.

Yesterday there were a few spells, but, as I opened my eyes tuesday morning I could tell the light was different. So that was the sort of day it was going to be. Great.

Snow meant 0 degrees celcius.
0 degrees meant freezing temperature of water.
Frozen water meant ice.
Ice meant an uncoordinated person's (aka my) worst nightmare.

Sure enough, 3 steps out of the house... I slipped. Yay a lovely, attractive, not to mention painful, bruise right on my ass, I thought bitterly. Not that anyone was going to be looking at my bum (with the bruise on display anyway), but, did I mention painful? Yet more proof that I was going to have a smashing day. The journey to school was going to be interesting.

I started my monstrous engine and reversed slightly when I heard a crunchy metallic sound from underneath the truck. Shit.

When I jumped out to investigate, and hopefully save, whatever I ran over I realised that Charlie had placed snow-chains on my tires for today. Bless his soul, I'll make him something special tonight for dinner.

So thanks to my beloved father my dreaded, icy journey to school went by fairly un-dramatically. Maybe today could pick up. Cruising into the parking lot, smeared with a deadly looking shine, I wished my shoes had little suckers on them. I sighed and looked up to find Alice Cullen gesturing frantically to me to park next to the Cullen's shiny red convertable (the Volvo having left with the 5th member).

Taken off guard, I shook my head in amazment while my still semi-conscious self took over and parked next to the Goddess of all convertables. Switching the truck off and leaping out, I realised I should have leapt straight onto Alice. I span around three times, stumbled to the other side of my truck, examined the pathway into the school. No Cullen in sight.

Then I heard it.
