Chp. 4

By time Sunday arrived I had a new car. A small car. That was all I really needed. It wasn't fancy. It was practical. I got in and did the usual jaunt to the grocery store. You didn't have to remind me where it was, as nothing in Forks had changed. The cashier's remembered me and wished me well as I left the store a half hour later. I went directly home and put the groceries away. Then decided that it was time to drive to Seattle, to see where I would be teaching and to see how long it would take.

I got back into the car and pulled out of the driveway. I had to go through town to get to the highway, so off I went. As I drove I picked out what looked the same. The school hadn't changed; the local restaurant still looked the same during the day. Everything was in its place. I continued along the road looking at everything that was still the same when I saw the silver Volvo. I quickly stopped on the side of the road as it passed me. The driver was male, with bronze hair.

"No, it couldn't be." I told myself. "It can't be. He left. He left Forks. He left me."

I got back on the road and continued on towards Seattle. I put the Volvo and the driver in the back of mind. Driving to Seattle took me three hours from Forks to the school. Since it was my first drive I would time myself tomorrow, to see if I could shave some time off. I headed back and it was shorter which was good to know.

That evening I made dinner for Charlie. Steak and potatoes. While I made supper Charlie had come home and was watching a game on the television. "Dinner is ready dad." I called from the kitchen.

"Okay Bells."

There was light conversation over dinner. Charlie basically was asking about the car and how it ran. I wasn't a car person so I answered as best I could.

"It's runs perfect dad. Well for me anyhow."

"Good. I'm glad. I want you to be safe driving back and forth everyday."

After dinner I went upstairs and prepared the clothes I would wear in the morning. A simple black skirt with a blue blouse. I curled up with my new laptop and tried to think of something to keep me busy. I didn't want my mind to wander. I ended up playing games on the Internet. Something I did when I got bored in College.

After a while I finally started to get sleepy. So I put my laptop away and pulled out my trusty book that I kept reading over and over. I must have fallen asleep shortly after that because I don't remember reading more than a few pages. The dream came again. Always Edward and Jacob. I would tell Edward not to harm Jacob, but this time I woke before the end.

"What is with this dream? Every night for the last few months. I know Jacob is fine. He just got married. Edward is gone and is never going to come back for me. Why do I keep having it?

Ok so what did you think? I am going in the right direction. I wouldn't mind a few more reviews please. Even if it is to say keep going!

Thanks for reading~
