I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED LATELY. I was at my mom's all last week, so I couldn't write at all. Then I started school monday, so that was stressful. THEN I got braces tuesday, so I was in pain yesterday. I just got up to writing at all today. So, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON ME. And for those of you that also read A Single Star, don't give up on that one either! My life has just been so stressful. D: But I will try my dangdest to update a WHOLE LOT MORE. : D

I also really want to find a song for this chapter…but I can't think of one right now. So while I'm writing it, you may randomly see an AN that says the song. Haha.

DISCLAIMER: Oh yahh. Ah ownb Twilight. Just lak ah ownb, uhmb, nothing. Lol. That's my sarcastic writing. You may see it sometime. xD

The rest of the day passed without incident, though Jacob kept throwing me awkward glances. We spent the rest of the day at the beach, each of us getting slight sunburns. Luckily, it was nothing a little Aloe Vera couldn't help.

After we all piled out back at the hotel, Jake told us he had to hail a cab because he was staying at another hotel. He promised that tomorrow would be our day out alone because everyone else decided on today. I agreed, giving him a hug before walking upstairs to my room. For once, Alice and Rosalie didn't come into my room for one reason or another. So, I was left to wait for Edward's call. A/N okay! I've decided on the song! : D Liar Liar by Never Shout Never. It has NOTHING to do with this chapter, but it's going to stay the song anyway. : D

I sat around in the front room with the TV humming in the background as I read, waiting for the phone to ring.

Ever had just run into the school parking lot when the phone rang. I jumped up, running toward the phone. Unluckily, I tripped, scraping my knee in the process. I stood up quickly going to the phone and sitting down.

"Hello?" I answered breathlessly.

"Hi, Bella," Edward answered on the other line.

"Hi!" I repeated, thankful I didn't have to wait any longer. I was getting really drowsy. There was an awkward silence before one of us started speaking.

"Uhm, well," he started. "I wanted to let you know that…you really don't have to come to my house if you don't want to." It sounded like it wouldn't bother him, but I'd been thinking about it off and on all day; I wanted to.

"It's fine Edward," I laughed. "I already know it's going to be awkward, but then again, almost everything in my life is awkward." I could hear his laugh on the other end.

"Okay, then," he replied, sounding happier than before. "Well, I guess all we need to do is figure out a day."

We talked for a few more minutes before I told him I was tired and was going to sleep.

"Well, I'll see you Saturday then." I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Of course," I replied. "Goodnight, Edward."

"Goodnight," he repeated, then hung up the phone.

Suddenly feeling the nasty salt water on my skin, I knew I had to take a shower. The hot water calmed me down perfectly, and I knew that after this I would sleep very soundly.

&&&

I woke up the next morning to nothing but the bright sun shining through my window. I smiled, closing my eyes and letting the sun warm my skin. This was one thing I would definitely miss when we went back to Forks in November.

Then I sighed; Jake would probably be getting here soon. The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to spend the entire day with him. I loved him—like a friend, of course—but he was a little…overbearing sometimes.

I leapt out of my bed, looking through my suitcase for something to wear today. I finally settled on my purplish tank top with small pockets at the bottom with my favorite skinny jeans and white hi-top Converse with what looked like a colored pencil drawing on them. I went over to the mirror and brushed through all the rats that accumulated while I had been sleeping. Then I fixed my bangs and my part and restocked my purse with what I would need today.

Just as I sat back down on the bed to relax, my phone rang. I looked over at it, debating answering it. But then the second shrill rang came and I snatched the receiver out of the cradle.

"Hello?" I answered, trying not to sound irritated.

"Bella?" came the muffled reply.

"Jake? What's wrong with you?" He sounded sick, and it worried me.

"I just have the flu," he answered me before coughing. "I don't think I'm going to be able to see you today." Silently, I thanked my lucky stars. I could only hope Alice and Rosalie would have mercy on me.

I wished him well, and we both hung up. Incredibly thankful, I changed back into my pajamas, leaving my outfit on the couch in the front room in case I needed it.

Deciding to have a lazy day, I got Evermore out from my bag from yesterday, realizing I was almost done. It would only take about 30 minutes to finish.

&&&

Thirty minutes and several shed tears later, I finished the book, anxious for Blue Moon. My mind was tired, though, so I decided to watch a movie or two to pass the time. Realizing I didn't know of any new good movies, I sighed, realizing I had to call Alice. But then I got an idea. Today, we could all have a lazy-movie day.

After calling Rose and Alice, telling them to bring along Emmett and Jasper (along with several movies), I searched my snack bag I had packed. I had been worried they wouldn't have my favorite snacks, so I was well stocked with all of our favorite treats, along with several bags of popcorn. I popped them all, putting them into three separate bowls; one for Alice and Jasper, one for Emmett and Rosalie, and one for me.

The knock on the door scared me out of my shoes. I was off in my own world, forgetting I was supposed to be ready to answer the door. Despite my stunned state, I ran toward the door, wrenching it out of my way. Emmett was smiling ear to ear holding 17 Again, Yes Man, and A Haunting In Connecticut. The last one I wasn't so excited about, but I would cross that road when I came to it. Then, I got a really good idea.

Telling everyone of my idea, they all smiled and agreed minus Emmett who looked a bit skeptical, but agreed after a bit of persuasion.

I ran to the phone, excited to call. I picked up the phone asking the front desk the number Edward had called from. They agreed after hearing my name; he must have told them so that, if needed, I could call him. I smiled at the though as the line connected.

"Hello?" he answered, sounding a bit confused.

"Hi Edward. It's me, Bella."

"Bella!" he replied, sounding excited. I wondered why that was. But I decided to just ask him before I lost my guts.

"Hey, uhm, I know this probably isn't very appealing and that your also very busy, but, uh, I wanted to know if, uh, you wanted to come watch a movie with me and my friends in my hotel room?" I rushed through the sentence, hoping he would be able to understand.

To my great happiness, he did.

"I'd love to!" he replied, sounding even more excited if that were possible. "Just a second he murmured before whispering to someone that must have been standing next to him. "Okay," I heard him mumble as he put the phone back up to his face. "I'll head over now, okay?" I could still hear the smile in his voice. I agreed, then hung up, skipping back to Alice, Rose, Emmett and Jasper.

"So?" Alice nearly screamed. "What did he say?!" I smiled, sitting down, prolonging the moment just to make her mad. Finally, she looked like she was about to kill me, so I answered calmly.

"Yes, Alice. He is." I smiled, thinking about the fact that Prince Edward would be in my room. I just hoped that everyone wouldn't treat him like something other than a person. But, knowing them, they wouldn't.

"Oh, Bella, that's great!" Rose replied for Alice. She got up and hugged me tightly. Emmet decided to make himself known then.

"I still don't think it's such a good idea, Bella. What if he hurts you?" The look on his face was nothing but concern for me, just like it was after I almost picked up one of James' phone calls that would no doubt end in me getting back together with him. I shook my head, not agreeing and not disagreeing.

"Em, it's going to be okay. Let Bella make her own decisions," Japer agreed with my head shake that he took as a 'it will be okay' head shake. Emmet sighed and sat down again, staring straight at the TV screen that had nothing on it. Rosalie looked up at me sympathetically before sitting down and comforting Emmett. We all knew he would be better in a minute or two, but he just cared so much for his family and friends. It was in his nature to worry about our wellbeing.

Just then, the phone rang. I sighed, getting up to answer it, and assuming it was Jacob, saying he suddenly felt better and our 'special day' was back on.

"Yes?" I answered a little roughly.

"Hi, uhm, I just needed to know your room number."

I gasped at the voice, realizing that I shouldn't have answered the phone that rudely.

"Oh, uh, of course, Edward. Room 329." He replied with a thanks, then hung up.

I went to the couch and sat down beside Alice so when he came to the door I wouldn't seem overly anxious for his arrival. But it was something that I couldn't control, my need to see him or be near him that is. When the knock on the door finally came, I almost leapt out of my seat and toward the door, my heart beating so fast I was so sure anyone in the room would be able to hear the pounding. I stopped right in front of the door, calming myself before trying to open the door smoothly.

And there he stood, smiling as he looked around the room before waving at them and then looking at me. I smiled, then realized I was still in my pajamas that I had changed into when plans with Jake had been canceled. I blushed, realizing I should probably change.

"Your blush is gorgeous," he said almost automatically. Once he realized what he had said, he blushed, looking away from my eyes.

"Well, would you like to come in?" I offered. He looked back at me, smiling as he nodded, walking into the room and making his way toward the front room of the suite. He waved again at the assembled group, greeting them all with a warm Hello. They all replied, Emmett a bit colder than the others. I rolled my eyes before taking my seat next to Alice and patting the cushion next to me for Edward. He sat down, still smiling but seeming a little bit tense. I gave him and encouraging smile. Then I directed Emmett to put in 17 Again to start off the day.

Okay. Lame ending, I know. But I didn't know how else to end it, and I lost my short burst of inspiration for this chapter, though I think I know what happens in the next chapter. This is actually my only story where I have no idea what happens, I just write and whatever my mood is, it influences which was it goes.

So, please please please review. It will make me just that much more inclined to continue writing more. : D

Also, you will for sure not be seeing as many updates from me since school has just started, but I will try 57829463295630 times harder to write EVERY DAY. I just hope I can keep myself up to that.(:

ALSOALSOALSO. Any outfit in this story should be posted at the bottom of my profile. If you don't see one on there, tell me and I will get it up ASAP. Also, if you have any sites to suggest for clothes, please tell me.(:

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

-Erin.
