You probably want to shoot me, don't you? I've kept you waiting TOO long. And for that I'm sorry. I will explain crap at the end of this long awaited chapter. But for now let's get on with the next chapter shall we?

"Where have you been? I know it doesn't take that long to go to the diner and come home, Bella." Victoria asked me as soon as I walked through the door. See I knew she would start asking questions…
"After you left, Edward and I started talking and then when I got to the diner, I started talking to Betty and you know it's the only diner in town so it would take a while for the food to be ready." I replied swiftly. "Plus I started thinking about a hiking trip we could do."
"Ewww you know I hate hiking… Hey! Why don't you ask Edward?" she said giggling.
"Oh shush, Vicks. It ain't like that."
"Yet." She said with a look that said 'do you wish to challenge me?' And no… Quite frankly I don't.
"So, how come I don't have to worry about you falling for anyone?" I said taking the focus off me.
"Well… The roommate I had at boarding school, Tanya… Well she has a 19 year old brother called James and he was there for Visitor's Day and she introduced us."
"Continue…"
"Well Izzy… I have a boyfriend now." She said with her cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"Oh my damn! Vicks? Are you blushing? For as long as I've known you, I have NEVER seen you blush!" I squealed. "But I'm so happy for you!"
"Oh shush! Just gimme my food now." She said throwing a cushion off the couch at me.
About an hour later, I headed downstairs to start on dinner and while Vicky was upstairs packing her stuff away into the spaces I had cleared out for her. I had just finished topping the lasagna with cheese when I heard Charlie come in.
"Heyya dad, you're just in time as usual. Dinner's ready in about 10 minutes. How was your day?" I said as I put the dish in the oven.
"Same shit, different day." I swear to you, he says that every day… Then again we live in Forks, not exactly a high crime wave area.
I just shook my head and went upstairs to tell Vicky about dinner.
"Vicks, 10 minutes to dinner."
"Oh thank heavens. I've been working so hard to get this done quickly as possible. That burger did nothing!" I know exactly how she felt, considering the fact that I've done that too many times in the past.
"Yeah well, 10 minutes." I said laughing. I turned back around and went to the kitchen to set the table.
"Okay that's it… You and I are going to start jogging in the mornings before school Izz. That was too good." Vicky said as we finished dinner and started to clean up.
"I have nothing to go jogging in Vicks." I said to her as we carried the dishes to the sink.
"Oh yes you do. I have a pair of jogging shorts and you can just wear a tank top with it." She said like it was something casual.
"What the hell? Are you crazy? Remember that we no longer live in Phoenix and that it will be cold and more than likely wet!"
"Which is why we will be leaving early enough to come back and have a shower and get ready like the princesses we are." She said with a cheeky grin.
"Princesses?" I scoffed. "Maybe you but certainly not me."
"Oh not this again. You know what; I give up on trying to make you see how beautiful you really are. Maybe by some miracle a certain green eyed boy will make you see clearly." Before I had the chance to say anything, she ran upstairs. I just sighed and started to wash the dishes.
"5 AM! ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I yelled in my pillow.
"Yes, now get your ass up… NOW!" she said as she pulled the covers off of me.
20 minutes later I found myself outside my front door with close to nothing on. In the cold… Fun times. Cue the eye roll.
"Wait up!" I yelled out seeing as how I was left behind.
"Hurry up then you slow poke!"
"I don't understand why we had to get up this early?" I asked Vicky when I caught up with her.
"Because we need enough time to jog, get back home, have showers and eat. And pack our bag if necessary."
"Fine." I huffed as we continued in the direction of the Cullen's house. This was the easiest route that looped back round to my house, according to Vicky. As we go closer to their house, I saw Alice bouncing around on her front steps.
"There you two are! I've been waiting out here forever!" she said as she met us and we continued jogging.
"Well Lil Miss Chef here didn't want to get out the bed!"
"Well I'm here now aren't I? Can we just hurry this up; I want to go back to bed." I said grumpily.
"Ahhh Izzy, I've missed you and your laziness!" Vicky said whilst laughing. I just let her have that one and continued jogging a pace or two behind alive and Victoria, while they talked about God knows what… Most likely shopping no doubt.
It was 6:30 when we finally decided to head back to my house, so as we got closer to Alice's house I promised that I would still pick her up as usual.
"10 to 8 right?" she confirmed.
"Yes Ally, see-ya." I said as she jogged up her stairs.
"Okay, I call dibs on the shower first!" Vicky yelled as she sped up to a sprint towards our house.
"What the… THAT'S NOT FAIR VICKS!" I yelled out after her.
By the time I got to the house, I was out of breath and I could see that Charlie had already left. When I went inside, I heard Vicky in the shower so I went to my room to pick out my clothes. But when I got to my room, I saw that Vicky had already chosen what I was going to wear and from the looks of it, we were twins for the day. I had a long sleeve white v-neck shirt, a blue long sleeved cardigan that came halfway down my torso, light blue denim shorts to wear with my black tights and my blue hi-top converses and she had the same shirt and cardigan but instead of shorts, she had a denim skirt and blue high-heeled boots.
As soon as she came out the bathroom, I went in and got into the shower. When the hot water touched my skin, I could feel all the tension and tiredness from this morning disappear and I felt relaxed. So when Vicky threw a deep blue lace bra and panty set at me, I didn't complain. After getting dressed, she did my hair so that it was in a low side ponytail with a blue ribbon at the end; and she did the same to hers.
By 7:20 we were downstairs eating breakfast and Vicky was on the phone to James. So I went on facebook to kill some time.
Bella Swan is going to need a bridesmaid dress if this keeps up. Hold on make that a maids of honor dress instead. ;)
Not even two seconds later, I had a new notification.

-Victoria Sutherland Oh shush! And stop eavesdropping on my conversation!
-Bella Swan I'm not doing anything! I can't help it if you're speaking in my hearing range.
-Victoria Sutherland Well then… Close your ears!
-Bella Swan No can do! *evil laugh*
-Victoria Sutherland I hate you right now Izzy.
-Bella Swan No you don't! You know you love me really :D
-Victoria Sutherland Yeah… Unfortunately I do.
Deciding to give Vicky a break, I put a new status up.
Bella Swan I want it all, I wanna get you alone. Give you fever, fever, YEAH!
Not too long after I clicked that share button, I had 3 likes already! They were from Alice, Edward and Mike. I understood Alice's reason for liking it (she knew the song it came from) but Edward and Mike? Edward, I could only hope and dream that he liked it because he wanted it to be about him, but Mike? I've barely even spoke to him!
"Come on Izzy, let's go." Vicky said to me with a HUGE grin on her face as she left the house. Yeah, I'm not even gonna question why. I just shut down my laptop and grabbed my bag and keys and headed towards the door. After locking up behind me, I went in the car, started it and took off towards the Cullen's. As soon as my CD started playing, Vicky must have put two and two together and said "So this is where you got that line from!" The current song that was playing was Fever by Adam Lambert, you see.
"Yeah, it is." I said as I pulled up in front of the house and Alice bounced in before I had a chance to fully stop the car.
"Hello! Vicky. Did you do it?" Alice said.
"Yes! I told you that I would; did you tell Rose?"
"Well duh, of course I did!"
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked.
"You'll see." They both replied at the same time.
As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw that Emmett and Rosalie were already there, so I parked next to Emmett's jeep.
When I got out the car to greet Em and Rose, I saw that Rose had an outfit that was similar if not exactly like mine and Vicky's. I turned around to ask if she knew about this, but when I did, that's when I noticed that Alice had the same thing on! So that's what they were talking about in the car! I realized. I decided not to say anything because if I'm honest, I wasn't too bothered by it.
But what really peaked my curiosity was the fact that Jasper and Emmett both had a blue shirt on with washed out blue jeans. I wouldn't be surprised if Edward showed up looking the same.
"I just have to ask… Why?"
"Just felt like it." Vicky said. I knew I wasn't going to get anything more from her, so I let it go.
Throughout the day, I kept on feeling as if someone was watching, well more staring at me, but every time I looked around, no one was. It was a creepy feeling that nerved me. So during lunch time, I left the lunch hall early to hang out in my car and calm down and take a breather. About 5 minutes later, I got a text from Alice saying that the bell was about to go for our next class, so I exited my car and locked it behind me. For the rest of the day I had If I Had You playing in my head.
"So Bella, I heard you wanted to go hiking one day?" Edward asked me as we walked to Math together.
"How did you…? Never mind, but it was just to go through the forest near my house because I thought I saw something interesting. I was going to go, but 1: Vicky hates hiking and 2: I'm not going to go alone with my accident prone self."
"I'll go with you… That is if you don't mind." He said quickly.
"Ummm, yeah sure thanks." I said feeling my face heat up. Me and Edward, alone in the forest… Well there's a thought for you. I thought as we stepped in the classroom.
So summer came and went… I was in New York and I became hella busy. I don't know how but I did and every time I went to write, something came up. And even though I'm back in London, college work *unfortunately* comes before FF. I wish it didn't, but if I want to become an actress then I have to work for it! So I have no free time to write. 'How are you writing this then?' I hear you ask. Well two words... Snow Day. College is shut so I'm stuck at home doing absolutely nothing, so I write! I'm gonna try and write some more so that you don't have to wait anymore, but I make no promises.
Side note: to be on the safe side, I will be turning this into an M rated story. I just want to be safe and not have crazy mothers hunting me down saying I ruined their perfect little angels eyes or whatever. *eye roll*
Thanks for reading. Review if you want, I'm not fussy.
