I was hanging out in Bella's room. We did this a lot. She had this weird fetish with candy. I would just go in her room and lay on the bed next to her. She would offer me her earbud, which I always took and inserted into my ear.

"Whatcha got?" I would ask.

"Milk Duds," she would say one day, or "Twislers," another. She always had candy.

Today, it was Hershey Kisses.

"Today's my birthday," she said after a moment of just us unwrapping the Hersheys.

"Oh shit, you should have told me, I would have gotten you something," I replied. I would have too. Something expensive that said I wanted to be more than a friend. Which I did. But we were friends and I didn't want to lose that because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. Tiffany's is defiantly still open, maybe its not to late….

"I didn't want presents. I can't stand them," she said with venom in her voice.

"Why?" I said without thinking. You don't ask why someone does or doesn't do something in this family. We all developed quirks when you've had a hard life. Sometimes its because we need a way to cope, like Alice's shopping, or sometimes its because it reminds you of the demons of your past. Like Jasper's fear of guns, he wouldn't go near one. Carlisle had had to put his shotguns in storage because Jazz couldn't sleep with them in the house. Not that he used them anyway.

"Every year on my birthday my mom would take me someplace really special and give me all these expensive gifts. It was her way of making the rest of the year up to me. It always made me feel sick. Now, presents just remind me that she didn't love and just wanted to believe she was a good mom,"

"So, I'm never allowed to get a you a birthday gift?"

"Not if you spend money,"

"Ok then," there were plenty of things I could get her without spending money.

"When's your birthday?"

"October first," I replied.

"I'll remember that,"

The song Ozzy Osborne's Iron Man came on. I liked this song because it highlighted how cruel people are to anyone different.

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
for the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl

Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

The song had just ended when voice come from Bella's laptop.

"Hello?"

I got a bit more reviews, so I'm giving you a bit longer of a chapter. I still love you, even if I bitch. Who is the mystery voice? It's kinda obvious, not much of a cliffy.
