Yaay I got the next chapter up finally. Sorry for the long wait. I would have uploaded it yesterday but our oven caught fire so I had to postpone it. Lol Well hope you like it anyway.

Disclaimer- I don't own anything. Apart from the plot

It was Monday and so school was back. I was already up and ready at 6 due to my early night. Emmett had made it the best day ever for me yesterday, I really felt like I had my mother again. I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to. Plus I could go there any time I wanted. So far it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me, mind there isn't really competition. It was a real nice sentiment that he wanted to spend the last day of school break with me. Anyway, enough about yesterday, today is a school day and fortunately I'd gotten all of my work done so I had nothing to worry about.

I was being driven by just Edward today apparently. Emmett had promised Rosalie that he'd pick her up today because he wasn't with her. That actually was a conversation I hadn't wanted to hear. What he and Rosalie get up to…I mean sweet Jesus. I decided it was best I remained 'sleeping' through his entire phone call and conveniently woke up five minutes later.

So today was my day to spend talking to Angela. It felt nice. To have someone to see at school, someone I am comfortable talking with. Washing m hair again I continued with my thoughts. Jasper…I felt guilty for not letting him drink, he seemed to like doing so, as though it calmed him down. Though he looked calm enough already. The only moments I'd seen anything but a calm expression across his face were when I first joined the group and he was making fun of Emmett. An enchanting smile was placed across his features then, and then when had denied him his drink. Even then he wasn't angry, more worried, though I couldn't think why. I liked to think it was that he was worried about me. I'm sure people a mile off could feel my anxiety as he drank. I really didn't want to make him stop, but the flashbacks of Charlie constantly plagued my thoughts. The alcohol just made it worse.

My shower ended quickly and so it was going to get breakfast of Esme quickly and hopefully I could leave as soon as possible. As I got down the stairs I noticed Edward was already ready and waiting for me. I grabbed a piece of toast and made my way quickly with Edward.

Unfortunately the drive there was completely silent apart from the purr of the engine. Though it was relaxing enough, so I didn't say anything. I couldn't help my mind wondering to Jasper and how the silence in his presence was so different. Much more…compelling. I wasn't sure what it was, but it really confused me. Once again we had quickly made it to school. It was strange how my morning was rapidly passing, usually my days dragged on…and on. The morning bell went before I had a chance to find Angela. Damn I must have been in that shower longer than I thought.

English. Ah the joy of poetry. Expressing ones emotions and all that jazz. I guess I sucked at poetry. Well writing it at least. No poem I have ever written could be handed in, without people knowing of my suffering with Charlie and I'm not ready for that. Well part of me wasn't anyway. I'd almost gone and handed a poem in a few times, but chickened out at the end and handed in my backup. I always had a backup. My teacher spent the lesson going on about the influence of poetry. I knew she wouldn't question me, but I still listened intently on what she was saying. Eventually the bell rang and I was out of the class almost before everyone. Finally I would get to talk to Angela. I guess I was too eager but my run in with the bitches before the holidays made me realise how lucky I was to have her become my friend so easily.

She smiled and waved as I walked into the room. I smiled back and sat next to her.

"Hey Bella, did you have a good holiday?" She asked. Well, did I? I kind of did…spending time with Jasper was nice I guess as was yesterday with Emmett.

"Yeah it was great. You?"

"Yeah it was good. Hey I was wondering would you like to come to mine for dinner. My mom's a great cook and she's always pestered me to bring my friends home. Though Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory aren't exactly the people you take home for dinner." Wow. Now I wasn't expecting that. Angela is an amazing person.

"Of course I would. I just got to check it through with Emmett okay?" She smiled and so I took that as a yes. Again I spent another calculus lesson talking to her, though this time it was quiet enough not to get caught. It was turning out to be a good day.

Lunch was great, Angela made me go sit with her and her friends which was refreshing after my week with Emmett and his friends. Unfortunately though, I was stuck near Lauren and Jessica. They seemed all the more annoyed when a boy called Mike was speaking to me. He seemed infatuated by me. It was kind of creepy. Fortunately it wasn't long before I was free from the deathly glares and on my way to biology, unfortunately the love-sick puppy had biology with us and kept pace to talk to us. I repeat. Creepy. As soon as I sat down in biology, I saw Mike's disappointment as I resumed my seat next to Edward. Right, that reminded me. I had to confirm I could go to Angela's.

"Urmm, Edward, could you do me a favour? Could you tell Emmett I'm going to Angela's for dinner" There that should do it.

"No." What?! Damn I must have said that out loud because he suddenly replied.

"I really don't think Emmett wants to leave you on your own. At all. I'm NOT going to be the one who he kills." Damn stubborn ass.

I sighed and concentrated on Biology. Which fortunately ended swiftly. Angela came up to me and we began to make our way to biology. Fortunately I noticed Emmett in the corridor. I shouted at him and caught his attention. I asked him quickly and noticed his discomfort. I argued my point that he couldn't always be by my side and eventually he agreed. Damn it I was late for sports. I ran through the corridors and luckily didn't receive detention. I knew the teacher never cared for me to be there, me and sports really didn't go well. My hand-eye coordination was almost zero. That lesson was dragging. There's really not much you can do when they are playing Volley ball and you're left to sit out. Apart from watch the ball go from each side. So there was no doubt I was glad when the hour was up. I waited for Angela who seemed to have raced to her ready and we left.

-----------

Angela drove me there seeing as I didn't have my van as Edward had driven me in. She was all the willing to anyway. It took us longer to get there than it would have if I'd have been driven by Emmett and co. They loved speed. Angela drove at a steady, comfortable pace. We eventually got there and I was amazed. Her house was lush. Not too big but had such qualities it left you in awe. Nothing like Charlie's.

She lead me in and it was as great as the outside. It was homely and I loved it. She introduced me quickly to her mom and then we left to her room. Her mother informed us of food not long after that and I was glad. I was so hungry. Lunch I hadn't managed to eat anything because I had been too bust noticing the glares and the pining boy. Wow. Angela was right. Her mum was an amazing cook and I could help but eat up as much as I could. It was almost as good as Esme's cooking. Almost.

"Thank you Mrs. Weber. That was lovely." I smiled at her. One of my most genuine I have to say.

"No problem dear. I've been trying go persuade Angela to bring her friend's home for a while. She never listened to me, until now that is. Oh by the way I took the liberty of calling your father, he should be here to pick you up at any moment." My face dropped and I suddenly heard the door being knocked. Oh shit. No no no. this can't be happening. I distantly heard her welcoming him in. Why did she call him?! Why couldn't she leave me to get home myself? It was too late to call Emmett. Charlie will have already killed me. He walked in. Angela looked at me with an expression of complete bewilderment.

"Hello Angela, nice to see you. Come Bells, we gotta get home." His putrid voice uttered. Fuck. He grabbed my arm roughly, but not rough enough for anyone to notice and lifted me up to leave. I muttered a quick goodbye to Angela and got dragged out by Charlie. Oh god I'm going to die. He still had a vice-like grip on my arm as he dragged me through it. He seemed to have parked out of view of the front of her house. He pulled me into the woodland where his car was parked and pushed me into it. I whimpered. Before I knew it Charlie was off of me and being hit to the ground. I opened my eyes to see Jasper looking from me to Charlie. Thank you god.

Hope you like it. Review pleases to let me know what you thought =] They make me happy
