Ok, so I know I've been forever. There must be a problem with my beta connection, because she keeps sending it back, but I'm not getting it!! So, I'm just posting it now, unedited, and when I finally figure it out, I'll repost the edited version. In case you didn't know, I now have another AU, another what if scenario. It's posted, it's called Forever Forbidden, and it's Jasper centric- how awesome??

Anyhow, action is picking up NEXT chapter (same story with the beta thing) and I will be posting it either tomorrow or later today. Why? Well, read on and you'll find out. I was hoping for a bigger gap, but oh well! This is mainly a filler, so you deserve it!

Dedicated to my beta MikalahStarrUley, who is my beta! Whoo! Round of applause! She betaed it, I just didn't get it - I'm positive she did!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. I just like ruining the characters' lives :)

February

"Bella! Bella, wake up!" Jacob was pretty much bouncing on my bed, as he did every morning for the past week. "Wake up, wake up, it's time for school, you gotta wake up if you wanna eat!"

I groaned and pushed him into a lump on the ground. School. This would be my third first day this year. Doesn't a girl get a break?

"Bella!! Are you going to sit and stare at the wall or what? Get up!" Jacob laughed before dashing off to the kitchen. I smiled and slowly lifted myself into my wheelchair. The Blacks had acquired one for me after it was obvious that I couldn't walk in my cast (I could barely walk without my cast). It had been a few weeks and I felt right at home.

After I rolled into the bathroom and got myself ready, I managed to get to the kitchen. Jake was still jumping around. He had a coffee thermos in his hand now.

"Sorry, Bells," Billy apologized, gesturing to the boy. "He made the coffee himself and- Jake, be careful!" The coffee was all over the ground. Billy sighed and grabbed a towel. He shoved it gently into his son's hands. "Clean it up, Jake. Please. You need to drive both of you to school. And don't forget about Quil and Embry this time!"

"Jeez, Dad, it was once!" Jacob insisted, mopping up the light brown liquid.

"Once this week! Jacob, it's Tuesday!" Jake had been getting into this nasty habit of forgetting to pick up his friends on the way to school. Quil hadn't been very happy when he had to walk a mile in the pouring rain. And Embry hadn't been too happy about walking double that amount!

"Sure, sure, right, I get it. Quil and Embry. Pick them up. Got it. Hey, Bella, catch!" He tossed me something that looked like a flying disk- it was a bagel. Uncoordinated as I am, I missed by a mile and got hit squarely in the face.

"Ow…" Jacob laughed hysterically as I gingerly tested my nose. It seemed alright. I retaliated by rolling right past him to the door. I made sure to hit his feet on the way. As he howled in pain, I grabbed my book bag and made my way out the door. He soon followed, hot on my wheels.

"So… welcome to La Push High!" Jake said dramatically, pushing my chair into a small building- it was even smaller than Forks High. I was escorted by him, Quil, and Embry to the office, where I collected my schedule. The three boys left me to feign for myself and I rolled my way through the halls. It was really inconvenient- not only did I need to use my full concentration on not rolling into a wall, but it attracted a lot of attention. I couldn't wait to be out of it!

I rolled into my first period class, trying very hard to be inconspicuous. It didn't work. I was directed to the back of the room, in the corner so it would be easy for me to roll in. There was a large corner in the back- perfect for the U-turns I needed.

"Hi," a girl with long, black hair swept back in a ponytail greeted. She sat beside me, doodling into her notebook. "I'm Kim. You must be Bella Swan."

"Hi," I greeted back. "So… um… is this class hard?" I was a bit nervous about the teachers, not that I ever really had a problem.

"Depends. If you pay attention, it's not difficult. But if you're good at daydreaming… well, you better watch out." She sighed and continued drawing. I guessed that she was the daydreaming type.

"Who sits there?" I pointed to the empty desk beside her and she sighed.

"That's Jared, but he's been out for ages. He's wonderful though…" I smiled at her infatuated look.

"Are you friends?" I asked. I wasn't usually this nosy, but I needed to start over again. I was desperate for human interaction outside of the Blacks and my mother.

"No," Kim frowned bitterly. "He barely knows I exist! So, what happened with your leg… and arm?"

"Got ran over by a van," I explained briefly. She nodded, eyebrows raised.

"Miss Swan, Miss Kramer, please pay attention!" the teacher yelled just loud enough for me to jump. I blushed and sheepishly turned my notebook to the first page. Kim just cocked her head and pretended to listen, still drawing.

A note flew into my pencil's path. I opened it carefully, making sure not to attract attention.

Eat lunch with me and my friends? I looked up to see Kim watching me out of the corner of her eyes. I gave her a sharp nod and she smiled. I think I had just made a friend.

March

By now, I had fallen into a pattern. The casts were due to be off and Jake and I had formed a strong friendship. Nothing romantic, though I'm sure he intended it to be that way, at least at first. No, we were more like siblings.

Jared had come back to school. Kim was ecstatic, but he always seemed to be late- that means no first period. Mr. Miles was a tough teacher and if you were late, you were locked out. So, I hadn't gotten to meet him.

Kim had introduced me to her two best friends, Hailey and Lisa. They had accepted me immediately into their little group. They found Quil, Embry, and Jake endearing, however annoying the little brats could be.

Okay, maybe not so little- they were growing every day! On the other hand, so was I. I couldn't really understand why- I had stopped growing years ago. Unfortunately, I was sure that the growth would make me klutzier than ever. I wasn't eager to give that theory a try- thank goodness for wheelchairs!

Speaking of wheelchairs…my bones were healing quicker than they should. By the beginning of March, the casts were both ready to come off. Doctor Cullen had taken them off, a little uneasily. Billy had been watching him like a hawk. I made my comments brief and tried not to hold conversation. It was hard. I had no idea how stubborn I could be though, and I persevered. I didn't really want to listen to Billy about something like that, but the Cullens weren't human- I was sure. Vampires was my best bet.

On the fifth, the day after my casts had been removed, Jake had run into my room, telling me to get the truck ready.

"Forks kids are here! C'mon, let's go to First Beach! Don't you want to see your friends?" he had shouted, arousing me from my deep reading. I sighed and closed the book.

First Beach was fun. I got to see Angela again, and even Jess, though she wasn't as warm as originally. Mike had gone Labrador Retriever on me and Jacob became my over protective brother. Lauren ignored me as I expected and Tyler came rushing forward with apologies.

"Tyler, I'm fine," I insisted as I plopped down next to Jessica. "See? No casts! Hey Jess, how's Forks been?"

"Good," she said icily. "I'm surprised you're interested- that is, after you dropped off the face of the Earth." I gulped. I honestly hadn't meant to lose touch, I just… had.

"Jess, lay off," Angela stuck up for me. "She's been in a cast, a new school, and a new home. Plus, we haven't exactly made effort to get the Black's number, have we?"

And so, Jessica laid off.

In the middle of the month, a large rainstorm rattled the house with thunder. Booms from a distance were heard, booms that were not accompanied by lightening.

One day, Jared made it to school on time- I know, I was shocked too. He had deep purple bags under his eyes, and if he were paler, I'd say he was a Cullen! But, no, he was a tan as tan could be in this place. He had plopped down in his seat, glancing ever so slightly at me- I suppose I was still new to him. His eyes quickly slid from me to Kim- and stayed there. Kim was totally oblivious to that fact, still doodling in her notebook. I wanted to let her know, but he was still staring.

That day at lunch, Kim met me, Hailey, and Lisa flushed and excited.

"He asked me out! He did! He noticed me!"

"Who?" Lisa had questioned.

"Is it your future husband, Jared?" Hailey had asked jokingly. I laughed along with her, but was utterly shocked when Kim had squealed.

"Yes! He's taking me out to dinner tonight!"

The next day, Kim had come into school, holding hands with Jared. Things were odd- it seemed so serious about them. Kim was still excited and Jared seemed love struck. But there was a secret- I sensed it.

April- June

April was a boring month. I got a job at Newton's Outfitter's, thanks to Mike. I managed to trek up to Forks every day after school. Things that were once pretty difficult were becoming easy. For one, I could lift heavy stacks and boxes without trouble. It was weird- I was bulking up without doing anything. And I was still growing!

May brought the La Push prom. I went with Jacob, just as friends. It was fun, we danced to the fast songs and stuck by the snacks for the slow ones. Granted, I couldn't dance, but Jacob was sweet and helped me (most of the time). At one point he made me twirl- I banged right into Quil, who pushed me into Embry who got pretty annoyed. I got them back though- the next day it was pouring and I refused to give them a ride.

Kim and Jared were still a happy couple. I was surprised it lasted that long, but Kim (and Jared for that matter) were truly in love. It was right out of a romance novel.

June was the month school ended. It didn't end until the 23rd, that's for granted, but it ended. I didn't get to attend the two days of school. Why, you may ask? Because Father's Day came before.

AN: Alright, guys, last chance for big guesses. LAST CHANCE! Next chapter, it is all revealed! Seriously, I gave you some of the biggest clues I could have. I probably gave it all away. Please guess? I like seeing what you guys think of the storyline so far, as well... and if you have any idea where it's going. No fear, reappearance of the Cullens in next chapter! Obviously, next chapter covers Father's Day (which is why I'm posting it today or tomorrow). That's a big day for Bella now, desipte that Charlie... well, yeah. OH, and I have a bunch of oneshots where I have completed my goal of killing all the Cullens! In one, I killed them all, Bella, Tanya, Angela, Mike, Jess, Charlie, and... I think there were more, but they might have been unmentioned. Oh yeah, the wolves were GOING to die, but the story ended. Why? Well, you'll see!
