Chapter 5: Everyday's a New Day

I ran back downstairs and Ally, Jazz, Emmy, and Rose were in their same positions--- except Rose was actually awake now, Ally must have woke her up when she was yelling after me. I took a deep breath before I walked down all the way.

"Emmett… Do you mind if I talk to you for a wee moment?? Alone!!" I asked coldly and in response he glanced at Rose before nodding to me. "Hmm. Thank you! Let's go outside, shall we?" Everyone knew I was as sweet as could be when I was angry. It made the effect scarier, and everyone's reactions would be quite funny if I wasn't always pissed.

"Just glad you're talking to me…" Emmy mumbled, mostly to himself than me.

I grabbed Emmy's wrist and tugged on him, giving myself enough strength to hurt him, but not too much to show I was Marked. He hissed in pain and I smiled in success, still towing him out the back door to the patio.

"Umm…. Emmett? Why are you following me to Washington?" My tone was nice, just curious.

"Mom's such a little snitch!"

"Don't blame her!! I am happy someone told me, instead of in 2 weeks watching all 5 of you board the plane with me… Emmett, please tell me when you became my keeper, 'cause I wanna know."

"Emmett?? What happened to Emmy Bear?" Emmy laughed nervously and looked away into the woods.

"That was going to be my next question…"

"Bella, when we went through this the first time, I did some research. When someone goes through depression more than once, it gets serious Bella. Serious as in life effecting results. I don't want to receive that phone call if you don't come back from Forks. So I'm coming with you."

I sighed… This wasn't going to be easy.

"And what are you going to do? You're 20 years old!! You can't go back to High School."

"We have money, Bella. I'll get us a condo or something, while you guys are at school. It'll be perfect! I'll support everyone… We'll have fun and you'll have no reason to be depressed Bella." Emmy was assuring at first, then started slowing down as he talked… I could tell he was really worried about me. How could I do this? How could he think I was depressed for the wrong reasons? What did he think I was depressed about??

"Yeah! I'm sure you would make the perfect house mom." My tone was cold and he flinched away from my words.

"Well, I'm sorry you feel you can't be trusted, and I'm sorry you feel you don't need us, but we are coming with you and this is final."

"FINE!! But I do have a couple conditions. I want my own life up there and that means without my 5 babysitters. I need my privacy, and that includes the bathroom. You can't send Ally or Rose in the bathroom with me to keep an eye on me. And lastly, try not to make your worry as noticeable… It's a bad cause for worry lines and wrinkles." Emmy smirked at my last words and laughed a little.

"Deal!" Emmy pulled me into a hug and surprisingly I felt the need to hug him back. We all were in for a rocky road.

"Are we good now, Bella? Everyone is worried about you for your sake… we only wanna help." Emmy's eyes were serious and his eyes were concerned. I nodded at him and a single teardrop ran down my cheek. I wasn't sure if they were tears of sadness, 'cause I can't believe they are following me. Or if they were tears of joy, because everything was going to get better and I knew someone who cared about me was going in a ride with me. Emmy looked at me curiously--- I just smiled back at him and he pulled me back into a warm hug.

"C'mon King-Kong. Let's get inside… I still haven't seen Daddy yet, and I still have to meet Jazz." I smiled lightly up at Emmy and grabbed his hand, dragging him inside. He laughed at my 'King-Kong' comment and went along with me.

•••◊•••

"It's so nice to finally meet you Jazz. No offence, but it was getting kinda weird how I was getting along with you over the phone." I felt awkward saying that… I felt awkward in general. Jazz was majorly cute and Ally was his other half. They were perfect for each other. So it felt weird saying right in front of Ally that I was getting along with him long before this day. Luckily Ally and Jazz laughed.

"No offence taken. I sorta felt like it was sneaking around Ally with her own best friend. Now I can say I feel much more comfortable." Oh god! His accent had a hint of Okie in it: So. Cute. He and Ally were perfect together.

"Bella, let's take a seat." Ally suggested while plopping down, without any worry, onto the couch. It would be rude to leave now when I just met Jazz. I felt bad for leaving Rose when I met her, but I had to get my bags upstairs before Emmy threw a shit fit. I nodded to Ally and Jazz and sat down in the other section of the couch.

"What do you wanna do today Izzi? OOH! How about we go shopping to fill up that closet of yours??" Ally had the goofiest grin on her face while she wiggled her eyebrows up and down.

"That sounds like fun, considering I can't be out of anyone's sight…" I said politely even with a smile on my face. Ally didn't mind my comment, instead she just gasped in happiness and once again, started bouncing and clapping. She was hilarious!

"Oh man! I fell for shopping with Ally once--- Never. Again." Jazz said in horror. I laughed. So he obviously knew about shopping on a regular basis with Ally… But I wonder what he would think when he found out about 'Monthly Mall Crawl' Ally and I did?

"Monthly Mall Crawl?? Ya know, a little earlier since it's a special occasion?" I asked in hope to make Ally even happier.

"Bella!! I knew you were my favorite person in the world!! You make me happy by just being here, but now you want me to go Monthly Mall Crawl with you?? Along with redoing to bedroom and leaving the bathroom totally under my control?? You're the best." Ally leaped out of her seat and came to give me a big hug. She was so easy to amuse… I never said anything, I just nodded in her hug, feeling the happiness I gave her.

"Monthly Mall Crawl?? What is that?" The sound of Jazz's voice had Ally and I pull away from each other.

"Once every month, Ally and I--- well now Rose can join us too--- we go into practically every store in the mall, buying whatever we want. It's pretty much crawling the mall, so that's what we called it." I smiled at Jazz and his eyes got wider.

"I've been shopping with Ally once, and that was for 4 hours. She said that was normal… How long do you 'crawl the mall' for?"

I laughed at the horror in his eyes, "When the mall opens--- then we take a half an hour lunch break--- and then 'til about an hour or two before the mall closes. So for a very long time." I laughed again, poor Jazz probably just found out his beloved girlfriend is a Shop-a-Holic. "Yep! I may not be like normal girls, but when it comes to shopping--- something possessed me." I smiled at Ally, she blushed and looked at Jazz.

"So when are you leaving?" Jazz looked happy and sad for us. Happy that we were going to be having fun together--- or more of, happy 'cause I'll be having fun. And sad probably because he felt bad for me to go shopping with Ally… I weakly smiled and stood up.

"Well I guess I better go get Emmy before we go… We'll only have like 6 hours to crawl the mall, so he better hurry." I started to walk out of the room when Jazz spoke up.

"What's Emmett gotta go for?"

"Well he's a big guy, so he can handle carrying all the shit we buy… And he sorta likes it too." I friendly winked at Jazz and smiled on my way out.

•••◊•••

"Monthly Mall Crawl?? Already?? OMG, this will be so much fun!" I laughed at Emmy's excitement. He was the only guy I knew who liked to go shopping with girls for about 10 hours.

"Yeah Em. Let's go!" I tried to grab his wrist but suddenly he looked like Ally. He started jumping up and down, squealing and clapping his hands together. When he landed on his feet from the jump, it shook the room.

"EATHQUAKE!!" I heard Eddie yell from downstairs. Emmy and I were laughing so hard… That poor soul was probably shitting his pants right now.

"C'mon… Let's go get Rose." Emmy grabbed my wrist and towed me out his room. The shortest mall crawl was about to begin…

I KNOW!!! WAAAAAY TOO SHORT! And I'm sorry to say that I cant guarantee that the next chapter will be any longer either... But I'll have to see what I can do. hahaha.

OK! Probably in a couple hours after posting this chapter, I'll find the pictures of the outfits Bella bought. And in the next chapter I will list where she went and how much she spent. Shopping is literally my favorite sport. hehe! Imma girl, you can't blame me. And only if you want me to, I can try to find things that would 'look' like Ally or Rose... ya know, outfit wise. And post the links on my profile also. But only if you want me to...

Speaking of 'if you want me to'. You know the drill by know: If you request that preview I always promise (and I keep my promises), then I will give you it! SO REVIEW AND REQUEST! That's what my R&R means... sometimes it'll be RR&R, but thats just for the kicks. lol.

MESSAGE ME! I love to hear what you say, and I will reply to anyone who has a penname. lol. Just ask JasperAndJill. She and I became friends over this website, and we talk whenever we can... Well mostly because we both like talking to our fans, so we talk a lot. lol! I hope she liked this short ass chapter... hahaha.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and this forever long A/N... And I may need some help with anything in the plot. (I have also gotten a lot of really cool suggestions from JasperAndJill) so anyone who wants to suggest anything that they would like to see happen in the story, I like to satisfy my readers so I wanna hear what YOU think will make the story become better in its own ways that you helped with. hahaha. Thanks everyone! I love you all!
