Okay I Want to tell ya'll that Bella and Alice are in thier early twenties and The Rest Of The Gang Are in Late Twenties.
We are skipping ahead next chapter.
I Hope this answers some questions about if Bella works and how did she afford the apartment.
See you at the bottom.
"This looks great" Alice tells me surveying the living room.
"I know I hope it stays this way" I agree with her.
We had bought furniture for the apartment the other day and today we got around to fixing things up. The walls in the living room was painted chocolate brown and beiges tan, we bought a brown couch set and got tan curtains. The bathroom was pink and black and the extra room we left it alone and put a desk, my books, laptop and T.V inside. The kitchen was just fine to me even though Alice wanted to add color but I told her no. I had used half my trust fund money my grandmother left me to buy the apartment and the other half to buy furniture, paint and supplies. Now all I had was the check Charlie sends me every month and that's enough to buy groceries and some new clothes.
My favorite room was my bedroom, it had a queen sized bed with a purple comforter set and I bought a dresser to match even though I had a closet. The walls were a deep purple and I had hung pictures everywhere, Alice convinced me to buy a vanity set and I had my old bookshelf. It looked almost like my old room made me feel at home.
"We should have a house warming party" Alice said.
"No Renée and Jacob are coming over to celebrate this weekend, you and Angela are welcome to come even esme but no party" I say sternly.
"Fine" she pouts.
"Whatever that doesn't work on me"
"It works on Edward" she sighs.
I look at her
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to" she apologizes.
"Its fine I have to get used to hearing his name, you are his sister after all"
"Do you think maybe one day you can be his friend?" she asks me.
"One day" I answer.
When she leaves I go apply for a job at the book store in the city, I figured why not a job get doing something I love. I'm hired immediately since the owner needs all the help she can get, the hours are pretty easy. We open from 8 am till 5 pm and some days like Wednesday and Thursday we open at 10 am till 8pm. I know Renée will be happy I found a job; she's been wanting me to get one and also go to college. I've been thinking of going but I would prefer an online college, I'll look into that another time.
I drive to forks to visit Renée I know she's been lonely since I left and when I get there it's about 9 pm. She's happy to see me, she was just making dinner in hope that I would come by and eat here one last time. I can see that she's sad but holding it in for me so I promise to visit every once in a while. Just as we are about to eat the doorbell rings
"That must be the guests" Renée says going to answer the door.
She didn't tell me about any guests and I have to wonder if it's who I think it is because I will leave quickly as I came.
I'm surprised to see esme's smiling face walk into the kitchen.
"Esme!" I say happily and move to hug her.
"Bella darling it's good to see you. I had to come down here before me and Carlisle went on vacation when Alice told me about you moving" she tells me.
"Oh esme I'm sorry I forgot to tell you it's just that I've been dealing with a lot" I explain.
"No worries dear I heard all about it, he will come around" she assures me.
I just smile and nod.
"My bellarina!" Carlisle calls out as he comes in.
I laugh and move to hug him.
"Hey pops looking good as ever" I tease him.
"I Try" he replies laughing.
We have a nice dinner and for once I can enjoy myself without someone bringing up Edward. I know I will have to talk to him eventually, of course I miss him. I just have to make sure I'm ready. Carlisle and esme promise to come visit me in Seattle when they get back and makes me promise to take care of Edward and Alice. When it's time for me to leave Renée makes me promise again to call her.
I Won't Automatically make bella fall in love again, she will not fall in love again.
They always had a a real close friendship and connection, Edward just needs to see it was more than that and it might take time.
Review? Or Not. I Appreciate You Reading Always
