Chapter 8

A Road to No Where

I woke up to Charlie coming through the door I completely forgot about dinner. He was hanging up his gun and changing when I went to the fridge and pulled out the left over lasagna I left for him last night. I heated it up and served it before I he got down stairs.

"What's up Bells"

"Nothing I took a nap and I had fun at the sleep over" I said while taking a bite.

"Oh was it fun? Where there any boys?"

"DAD! Yes there were but they were upstairs and we had the down stairs"

"Oh ok good who was all there?"

"For the girls there was me , Alice, Rosalie and Angela. For the guys it was Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Ben."

"Good those are all good people especially your cousins"

"I know dad..im tired im going to bed"

"Ok night Bells"

"Night"I went up stairs and stared at the ceiling. I was gonna be lonely soon. With me moving out soon and being all alone. I never thought about that. Maybe me and Edward will move in together. WOW WOW WOW! What am I thinking. I gotta go to college so no need to think about that. I will probably get a dorm on campus maybe Alice and me can be room mates!. I was getting really tired so got undressed and tried to stay horizontal while I took off my jeans and grabbed the PJ's at the end of my bed. I slipped them on and fell into a deep sleep.

I awoke to find my light still on and my night stand said it was only 5 in the morning. Ughh just great. I went down stairs to find a note left from Charlie. I flipped it open and read it.

Bella,

I know I didn't get anything for you for your birthday or graduating so go look in the closet.

Love Dad

xoxoxoxoxoxox

I read it over and over again. I finally decided to go to the closet I opened it up and there in front of me was a tiny little kitten in a bed. It was white on the belly and orange and black on the top. I picked it up and took the bed and stuff into my room. I set it on my bed and was coming up with names for it. I looked under it and it was a girl which was good. I knew what I would name it Muffins. It would remind me of my mother would always make muffins for me . When I was nine of course my mom died.

I got my phone and took a picture of her and sent it to Alice.

To: Alice

From: Bella

Alice here is my kitten! Charlie got it for me! Isn't it cute!

I named it Muffins!!!

I sent it not only after I sent it I got a reply with a lot of aww's and then I wondered to myself why would she be up at this time. I thought about it and came up with the conclusion that it was just Alice. After all the aww's she said she would be right over. While I waited for Alice to come over I decided to clean up the house. I started in the kitchen cause I didn't do the dishes from last night. I was at Alice's house last night. I was all done doing the dishes and I turned around to find Alice sitting at the kitchen table.

"When did you get here?" I asked I didn't hear her

"About 20 minutes ago"

"Why didn't you tell me you were hear"

"I wanted to see how long it took for you to turn around anyways lets go and see muffins!"

"Ok" I led her up to me room and I opened the door. Muffins was on my bed all curled up by my pillow.

"AWWW!!!' Alice ran over to my kitten and was cuddling it.

"So have you decided what college you want to go to?"

"No I don't think any college would accept me" I mumbled

"Hmm what about Dartmouth Rosalie and Emmett and Jasper go there me you and Edward could all go and then I could ask the Dean if we can be room mates"

"I don't know Alice im not very smart"

"But Edward is he could tutor you"

"Ok fine ill apply but only if you and Edward do"

"Ya that's fine and I think your aloud to bring pets you could bring muffins"

"Ok" went to her bag which was by my desk. She pulled out papers and I was baffled she already had the applications. She came over to me and pulled me downstairs to the kitchen table.

"Ok here are you papers and here are mine just fill them out and I will send them to Dartmouth."

"Ok" we spent an hour doing the applications. She said she had to go home so I started on dinner for Charlie. I was preparing steak with potatoes. My cell phone stared ringing. I went to get it and answered it with out looking at the called ID.

"Hello?"

"Hey Belle"

"Oh hi Edward"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner tonight?"

"Um ya sure what time" I could tell I had a huge grin on my face.

"How about I pick you up at 7?"

"Ya sure" I looked at the clock it was 6:30 now so I had to get ready.

"Ok I gotta go but see you soon"

"Yes you will" Edward said and the phone line went dead.

Edward's POV:

I was in the living room playing with my iPod. Carlisle and Esme were out and Alice was at Bella's house to look at Bella's new kitten. The door opend up and Alice came in.

"Hey Alice"

"Hi Edward"

"How was bella's kitten?"

"Its really cute... how would you feel in going to Dartmouth as a college?

"Hm its good and Rose and Em and Jasper go there no why?"

"Cause me and Bella filled out applications and we want you to go to the same college"

"Ya do you have an application ready?"

"Yes I do." Alice pulled out and application and pen. I went upstairs and put it on my desk I would fill it out later. I had a great idea me and Bella never officially had a date. I would ask her out today it would classify as our first. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed her familiar phone number. She answered:

"Hello?"

"Hey Belle"

"Oh hi Edward" she probably didn't look at the called ID

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight?"

"Umm ya sure what time?" I could tell she was smiling into the phone.

"How about I pick you up at 7?"

"Ya sure"

"Ok I gotta go but I will see you soon?" Bella asked

"Yes you will" I said and I hung up. I rushed downstairs to grab my wallet and car keys. I ran back upstairs into my room to find Alice there with clothes in her hands.

"Edward for your date I want you to wear these. Bella loves them on you"

She was holding up dark washed jeans and a dark blue polo shirt. I sighed and put it on. I was Alice perfect according to her so I got in my Volvo and drove to Bella's house.

Bella's POV

I only had fifteen minutes left so I quickly straightened my hair. I slipped on the shirt Alice had gotten me for my birthday and silver skinny jeans and blue ball flats. Something I wouldn't trip in. I put black eyeliner on and a little mascara. I put on very pale pink lip gloss. I grabbed a small purse from my limited closet Alice provided. I glanced up at the clock and Edward was gonna be here any second. I pulled out Charlie's dinner and placed it on the table.

I ran back upstairs and said good bye to Muffins who was curled up on my bed. I half ran downstairs to not trip and wrote a not for Charlie and left it on the table . I waited in the living room and I heard a light knock and went to open it. There enough was my date Edward Cullen best friend for 8 years and now I was his girlfriend for a couple of weeks. It seemed like we were doing it backwards.

"Hi"

"Hey Edward"

"You look lovely"

"Thanks" I said blushing.

He lead me to his car and opened the door for me I got in and we took off. I played with his stereo un till I finally played to CD that was in there. I wasn't surprised to find it playing Clair De Lune. He loved Debussy. I got him the CD for him when it was Christmas. He loved it. I started to hum it and I didn't even realize it.

"So were are we going exactly?" I was actually curious.

"You'll see all I am gonna tell you is that its in Port Angeles"

"Fine...." I gave up and just stared out the window. I was deep in thought and not really paying attention to what was outside and Edward's voice pulled me from my daze.

"Bella were here"

"Oh ok"

We walked out and it was a restaurant called Bella Italian. I only been here once and that was with my family and Edward's family including Jasper and Rosalie.

"Hmm I wonder why you choose here" I said sarcastically.

"Yes I think the name rings a Belle" he smiled that crooked smile that melted my heart.

"HAH! Very funny but very sweet" He took my hand and led me inside. The host took us to our table and we sat down staring at each other. We didn't realize we were both leaning across the table untill the waitress handed our menu's and we both straightened up. The waitress was pretty and I noticed she was only looking at him.

"Hi my name is Madison and I will be your server for tonight can I start you off with some drinks?" Oh course she was only looking at Edward I couldn't blame her though but then again I could.

"Umm Bella would you like to go first" Edward motioned for me to go.

"Umm do you have ice tea?"

"Yup is that what you want?"

"Yes please" I said a bit to bitterly.

"And for you" she said and turned and batted her eyelashes. Edward just continued to stare at me.

"Ill have a coke please"

"No problem"

She walked away and I noticed I was staring at my hands that were underneath the table.

"What?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"That waitress was totally flirting with you"

" I didn't notice I was only looking at you"

I blushed a deep crimson red which I knew Edward saw. He chuckled and "Madison" walked back with our drinks again only looking at Edward. We said quite thank you's and she pulled out a pad and pen.

"Ok what would you guys like?"

"Um I'll have the mushroom ravioli"

"I think I will have a burger with poutine"

"Ok and have a nice night"

She walked away and I was staring at my hands again. I was looked up to see Edward staring at me. With a nice smile. He opened up his mouth to speak but then closed it again so I decided to break the silence.

"So Edward what brought all this on"

"Well we never officially had a first date"

"Oh does this classify as our first date then?"

"Ya im having a nice time Bella"

"Me to...were kinda doing this backwards aren't we"

"Ya I ask you to be my girlfriend then we go out" he ran his fingers through his unusual bronze tinted hair. I loved it. It was messy but it was fine. Our dinner came and we ate and we made each other laugh. He made me blush. I loved how we could be boyfriend and girlfriend but still have the best friends that we still are.

The night ended and Edward drove me home. He held my hand all the way home. We pulled up my drive way and Edward walked me to my front door. I stoped outside and we stood there in awkward silence. I looked into his sharp piercing emerald green eyes.

Edward leaned in and so did I . Before I new it Edward was kissing me. I pulled him closer by putting my arms around his neck. He put his hands around my waist. He pulled away and chuckled at my pouting,

"You don't want your dad to come and shoot me do you?"

I laughed and answered. " No I guess not"

I said good night and went upstairs. I found Muffins in the same place. I went into the bathroom and changed and sat on my bed talking to Muffins about what I did tonight.

I classify this as the best night ever. Besides the prom.
