Me: Alrighty, well here is the next chapter. I wanted to say that I meant no harm talking about my grandmother. I was a joke.
Alfred: Oh the cleverness of me! I had this idea that if Becky (Beckab) wrote another chapter before her grandma got here, then all she would have to do is update the story and not write.
Me: HEY! It was my idea! Not yours. And you stole that line from Peter Pan so now you have to do a disclaimer. *pokes Alfred with a pencil*
Alfred: Again with the pencil. Fine, I do not own the line above from Peter Pan. Happy? Now you do yours.
Me: I do not own twilight or any of the twilight saga characters.
Alfred: Saga is such a weird sounding word. It sounds like soggy.
Me: *Rolls eyes at the stupidness of what Alfred just said*
Alfred: You know I can read everything on this page. That was not nice *pokes me with a pencil*
Me: Hey where did you get a pencil? Stop poking me.
Alfred: Who are you to tell me what to do?
Me: Duh. Your creator. I can tell you do anything I want or 'poof' you're gone. We went over this before Alfred.
Alfred: Oh yeah. Don't give me that 'you're nuts' look.
Me: Ignore him. You are now free to read the next chapter. And PLEASE review. *puppy dog face*

Chapter 7. Summer Time.
BellaPOV
After I got home from the movies. I went to go check my e-mail. There was a new message from an e-mail address I didn't know. I opened it hoping it was not a virus.
Dear Bella.
Hi, my name is Tanya. Now that you know my name you are probably sitting there hating me. I know you know who I am. Edward has been e-mailing me, keeping me up to date on his new life there. I'm guessing that you don't know a lot about me, since the way he told you about me, I am also guessing you haven't talked to him. Hell, if he told me something like that that way I would have punched him then did exactly what you did. Edward has told me a lot about you, and before this whole episode of him being a totally ass, (pardon my French) I really wanted to meet you so we could be friends. We have a lot in common, and not just our taste in guys. Sorry I didn't mean that in a mean way. I am coming out in three weeks and I would like to meet you and try and be friends. I am also apologizing for Edward, knowing him (and I've known him since I was 8) he hasn't given you a good apology. Or if he did by some miracle give you a good one, I know I wouldn't have listened. Please forgive my stupid boyfriend. And me if you hate me. I really want to meet you Bella.
Hopefully, your soon to be friend. Tanya.
I just sat there staring at the screen. She wanted to be my friend? She seemed really nice. I sighed and then e-mailed her back.
Dear Tanya.
You sound like a really nice person, and I am looking forward to meeting you too. I am going to forgive Edward. As my best friends would say I am not one for holding grudges. I also wanted to tell you that you guessed everything right. I am surprised that you are not mad at ME though; I'm the one that told your boyfriend that I was falling in love with him. Well I got to go to bed, thank you for e-mailing me.
Your friend Bella.
After I was done I texted Edward
Hi. I have decided to forgive you. How did your girlfriend get my email address?
I am so sorry Bella. Thank you for forgiving me. Um I sorta sent it to her.
Oh well that made sense. I decided to read before I went to bed, I picked up the new book I got called 'A Beautiful Fall'. At about 11pm I fell asleep.
The next two and a half weeks went by fast. I forgave all boys and Jazz, Em, the Cullen's and I all hung out about 12/7, well in weekends 24/7. Edward and I became great friends, and I kept my feeling hidden so he couldn't tell that I was falling even more in love with him. We all went everywhere together. To the pool, beach, arcade, yes we did go to an arcade, Em loves those places especially when he gets to play packman. I had not only come close to Edward, but the whole Cullen family. Alice and Rose took me on many, many, shopping trips. I thought I liked to shop before they took me, but it was still fun. Esme, my mom and I would make dinner together for both families. And I saw Carlisle a lot because I had to go to the emergency room so much.
It's the day before Tanya gets here and I'm very nervous. We have been e-mailing back and forth since she sent me the first e-mail when I was still mad at Edward. I found a lot of things out about her. Seth and I were sitting at the pool hanging out. No one else wanted to come with us today.
"So are you going to the airport to pick up Edward's girlfriend tomorrow?" Seth asked me.
"I don't know. Why?"
"I can read you Bella, you are nervous to meet her. I just don't know why."
"I don't know why I am so nervous ether. I have been talking to her for the last two weeks through e-mail."
"It really sucks that Edward has a girlfriend I think you guys would be good together. But you are being a good friend and not trying to break them up." I looked at him in shock. How did he know I wanted to be with Edward? "Oh, even though you didn't tell me or Leeny we figured it out. Bella we both can read you. And I know that you like, like Edward."
I laughed at him "You just said like, like."
"Bella Swan if you tell anyone of my friends that I said that…" We laughed together.
"So how's school goin?" I asked changing the subject.
"Good. You are making me very popular."
"How's that?"
"Well you, Jazz and Em run the town. I mean you guys are liked by all except the stupid ones like Loren. And Bella people think you are hot. Which I am your brother so that is just creepy to say, but I can say you are pretty." He started laughing "You are going to love this. Ok so after you dropped me and Leeny off at school this guy named Peter came over to me and asked if you were single. I said yeah, I thought so, but why did he care. He goes 'I thought I would ask her out some time' Bells, they guy is as old as me or a year younger." We laughed until our eyes started watering.
After we had stopped I asked. "So any girls at the school caught your eye?" I had decided that it was okay for him to like girls in the last two weeks. Seth blushed deep red.
"No."
"You are so lying! Tell me, come on I'll be nice."
"Ok, but you can't tell anyone." I nodded. "Well there is this one girl named Caron, she is really nice. But I don't know how to ask her out." We sat there and started talking about good lines to ask her out with and things he should not say.
"But you got to promise me that when you get a girlfriend I will be the first to know."
"Alright. But then the same goes for you." We both agreed with a laugh and then went for a swim. I had taken Daniel to the pool since it was so nice today. Once we got in the car I turned on the radio and Summer Time was on by the Rascal Flats. We sang along to the song. Right then I got an idea, what if I through a beach party tomorrow night? Oh it would be so much fun. We could have karaoke, and just music in general and a barbeque and it would be a good way to welcome party for Tanya to Westside Valley and California too.
Once we got home I went up to my room to plan. I got Sam, this really cool guy I met last year at a beach party, to set up a stage for karaoke. Rented some grills and called in the troops (also known as my other best friends, Ang, Ben, Jacob, and Leah.) They all agreed to help me. I ran and told Leeny and Seth about it and they were psyched. I told my 'troops' to all meet me at the beach tomorrow at 10am to set up. Then called everyone I wanted to invite. I called the Cullen house and told Esme, but told her not to tell Rose, Alice or Edward. I wanted it to be a surprise for them. Last I called Edwards cell.
"Hey Edward. I just wanted to tell you I won't be able to come tomorrow and pick up Tanya or to eat with you guys ether. "
"Why not Bells?" He had picked up on everyone else nick name for me.
"I got a dinner date." I said. It was true; he just didn't know that he was my date along with all my other friends. It sounded like he stopped breathing. "Edward? Edward!"
"I'm here. Ok well I hope you have fun. I'll see you soon." And with that he hung up. His voice sounded different then when he answered the phone. Almost mad or jealous. Huh, probably just my imagination.
EdwardPOV.
As soon as I heard that she was going on another date I got jealous. Why was I jealous? Bella could date who ever she wanted.
"Edward? Edward!" Bella's voice came through the phone.
"I'm here. Ok well I hope you have fun. I'll see you soon." I tried to make my voice light but I could tell she could hear through it. So I hung up.
I was excited that Tanya was going to be here tomorrow, but I was nervous about seeing her again. The last three weeks I had spent with Bella and her best friends. I was having so much fun, but there were moments when I caught myself thinking things that I shouldn't, or being jealous when I had no reason to be. I went to bed that night with mixed emotions. I was nervous about seeing Tanya, I was jealous about Bella's date, and I was worried why I was feeling all these things.
The one I was confused the most about was why I was so nervous to see Tanya again. I mean we used to be inseparable. First best friends and then girlfriend and boyfriend. Our relationship was and still should be easy as breathing. So why shouldn't it be now? Some were in the back of my mind I had the answer. The answer was sleeping down the street from here. The answer was Isabella Swan.

Me: Alright what do you think? A lot of you wanted me to forgive Em and Jazz. And I had them forgiven in my mind when I forgave Edward I just didn't write it in. sorry. This time I want 8 reviews. I know it's a lot but I know you guys can do it.
Alfred: Please review!
