Chapter 4:

I decided to lay my head down since it was kind of hurting, and I was sure that nobody was going to come in. I closed my eyes and relaxed, I haven't done that in a while.

After school, I met Alice at my car just like we planned. I got in and started driving to Elezar's dentist's office. Alice said that we should get some food for Bella incase she was hungry. I agreed and we drove to a Bagel place. We weren't sure about what kind of bagel Bella wanted so we just got a dozen. We could bring them home and I'm sure Jasper and Emmet will eat all of them.

We got there at about 5:00, and walked in. Bella must not have noticed us because she had her head down, maybe she was sick. Alice and I walked around her and tapped her shoulder.

She jumped about a foot in the air and said, "Please don't hurt me! Oh, it's just you guys"

"Bella? Are you ok?" Alice asked,

"Huh? Yeah, you guys just practically scared me to death." She explained, "Don't do that!"

"Oh, sorry." I said, "We brought food!"

"Really?" She said unsure, "I'm not very hungry" She said as her stomach grumbled, and she blushed.

"Oh really? Did you even eat anything today?" I asked,

"Yes, I did in fact" She said crossing her arms over her chest,

"How much?" I asked,

"Um, an egg?" She answered, "Why do you guys even care?"

"Because we care about you!" Alice answered looking offended,

"Wait seriously? That's all you ate today?" I asked,

"Yeah, it's more than usual" She said like it was normal,

"You really need to eat more." Alice said teasingly,

"I would but I don't want Charlie getting mad at me..."

"What?" I asked,

"Nothing, just give me the bagel." She said reaching out to the bag of took one and got a napkin and put it on her desk and started picking off pieces of it.

"So, we don't really know a lot about you?" I said trying to make conversation,

"I don't know a lot about you either." She said,

"Then let's get to know each other then." I suggested,

"Ok, what do you want to know?" She asked biting her bottom lip. She looked so cute when she did that.

"Where did you live before you lived here?" Alice asked,

"Um, Arizona." She answered, "Have you guys lived here your whole lives?"

"Yep, born and raised!" Alice said cheerfully and Bella laughed. Bella's laugh was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, but she didn't laugh much. She always looked sad or nervous. Maybe she was warming up to us.

We talked for a while and stopped for the occasional phone call that Bella had. Around 6 a family came in and had an appointment, Bella had to deal with them and then she got back to talking to us.

"Are you going to come to school tomorrow?" Alice asked,

"I'm not sure yet" she said taking out a mirror and looking at her face.

"Are you okay, Bella?" I asked,

"Um, yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because you keep looking around nervously" I said, "Like someone is going to come through those doors and hurt you."

She shuddered at the thought and brought her legs up to her chest and hugged them.

"It's not that, I'm just..." She said with a loss of words.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I said trying to soothe her, "Don't worry nothing like that is going to happen." I added as I started rubbing her shoulder.

"No, it's fine, I'm just overreacting, Thanks." She said trying to shake me off, I responded with taking my hand off her shoulder. After that Bella didn't really talk and she just picked pieces off her bagel off.

When 7 rolled around she cleaned up and started packing up her stuff. Alice and I just stayed out of her way while she did this. When she was done she looked at us and said, "I'm leaving now, and unless you want to be locked in you might want to follow me." She said with an eyebrow raised jokingly. So she punched out and we followed her out of the office. "Thanks for the bagel by the way. Really, it's nice to know somebody cares about me." She said as she hugged me and then Alice, "See you tomorrow." She added as she walked to her truck.

"She really doesn't have anyone to care for her does she?" I asked nobody in particular,

"Yeah, that's what it seems like." Alice answered.

"I feel bad for her."

"Me too"

It was really nice of Alice and Edward to come and cheer me up during work, I never had someone that actually cared about me, I thought as I climbed into my truck and drove home. I wonder how Charlie is going to be tonight. But when I got home he wasn't there yet, so I parked my truck and went inside. I was guessing that he went out with his friends to drink, so I made dinner so he wouldn't have a reason to be mad at me. After that I went upstairs, took off the make-up on my and got ready for bed. I decided to sleep since I was pretty drained. So I got into bed and got my IPod and tried to fall asleep. I was surprised that I didn't cry myself to sleep; maybe there was some hope for the future.

The week went by quite normally. Classes were easy Charlie was in a fairly good mood for most of the time; he only occasionally slapped me, and Edward and I got closer as friends.

Ok so I know this chapter is very short, but I didn't have that much time. So don't hate me but I will be back with a better chapter on Friday.
