5 years later (Bella is now 9 years old)
Bella's POV
I just got a call from Angela Weber, she's one of my closest friends she wants me to meet her at the park just across the street so we can play hide-and-seek she's gonna invite Jacob too. Jacob is one of my other close friends.
"ALICE," I yelled
She came bouncing down the stairs
"What Bella?"
"I wanna go play with Angela and Jacob in the park across the street."
"I don't know Bella we're all busy right now so I don't know if anyone could take you t-"
"Aliiii," I whined "I'm almost 10 I can go to the park on my own besides Jacob and Ang are gonna be with me and Jake can scare off any robber."
"Well…..
Just then Esme walked in "what's this I hear about you going to the park alone Bella?"
"Oh mom please can I go it's only across the street." I gave her my best innocent-Bella-look
They both sighed "fine!" "But you will take Alice's cell phone with you and you WILL come home before 5pm."
"Yaaaaay thank you." I said
See this is what happens all the time my entire family is way too protective. Actually I should be thanking my lucky stars that Edward wasn't here or I don't think I would be going he's crazy protective.
Anyways when I walked out it was cloudy….well typical Forks. Esme asked me if maybe I shouldn't be going because it looked like it was going to rain. Story of my life. More like story of Forks. See I had seen a show where some high school girls said story of my life and I've been imitating them ever since.
Anyways I finally made it to the park.
"ANG, JAKEY" I yelled
They saw me and waved
"What took you so long?" asked Jake
"My family of course." I rolled my eyes
We began playing Jakey was up first. Angela hid in a bush and I went behind a tree.
I peeked and saw Jake looking confused I giggled. But then he began walking in my direction. When he was close I walked to the other side of the tree. He was circling the tree and I was too at one point I was right behind him and the doofus was still going round and round. I started laughing and that's when he finally turned around. He broke into a smile and started laughing with me.
"Man that was stupid." he said
"HEY ISN'T ANYONE COMING TO FIND ME." yelled Ang from the bush
"FOUND YOU!" yelled Jake
We all laughed
Just like that we continued to play each of taking turns. It was a lot of fun.
Until it started to rain.
We groaned in union.
"Why does it ALWAYS have to rain?" cried Angela sadly
Suddenly I had an idea
"Guys we don't have to go home right away right."
They looked at me and I knew we were all thinking the same thing
Angela started to look apprehensive
"Um I dunno guys we'll get in trouble." This worried me as well but hey it was only for a little while.
So we all agreed and decided to play. It was a lot of fun but then we decided we didn't want to get in too much trouble so we said our good-byes and headed home.
I checked the cell phone to alarmingly see 5 missed calls. One from Alice, another from Esme and three from Edward. Uh-oh.
I started jogging back and that's right when the cold wind hit me. I shivered.
"ISABELLA!"
Uh-oh I knew that voice too well it was Edward.
He was next to me in a second.
"Bella I come home to see that your gone and everyone is waiting for you the next thing you know it's raining and you still haven't come home Bella where WERE YOU!"
Maybe I should lie…..no I would just end up in more trouble
" I was at the park with Ang and Jake.. I asked permission so don't give me that look.. and we sorta wanted to keep playing so we stayed late."
He pinched the bridge of his nose….. "Bella"
He only did that when he was really angry.
"I'm sorry Edward I-" a-a-ACHOO I sneezed
Edward had a fearful gaze
"No-no Edward I just sneezed it's nothing"-ACHOO but then I sneezed again
Edward grabbed my arm and dragged me inside where everyone seemed to have been pacing I was bombardered with questions.
But Edward didn't let me answer he brought me straight to his room and lifted me and placed me in bed. The next thing I knew I had chicken soup forced down my throat. But I was sick. I was forced to stay in bed for a week with Esme and Alice lecturing me. Carlisle constantly checking up on me Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett always barging in my room to tell me to eat this or they heard drinking this would help. But Edward was the worse of them all. He did all those things AND forced the chicken soup and all that other yucky stuff down my throat. He didn't seem to hear my pleas. I really had no choice with him. That was a lesson I'll never forget.
