Chapter 9: The Day That Changed My Life Forever

Yes, today is December 20th. Only 5 more days till Christmas, and I can't wait. You won't believe what I got Dakota, no, I won't tell you. You know, that dance that was a few weeks ago, yeah, what was it….Ah, yeah, the Winter Dance. Let me tell you, it was amazing, I loved every bit of it. We played some Christmas songs like "Winter Wonderland", "Santa Is Coming To Town", "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and more. But, we all just had a good time, I just can't wait for Christmas, all the Cullen's are coming over, did you know, Edward has a girlfriend!?!?!? And its not Tanya and the girl aint Human, either. Her name is Emily, and shes a vampire like the Cullen's, well, now. She use to drink human blood, but, turned to a "veggie vampy" for Edward. The way Edward looks at her, is… like beyond the way he would look at me. Emily is like so special to him, its amazing. Anyways. Edward was talking to me (we are like best friends, closer then ever, he knows I'm not his, but, we still hug, Dakota is okay with that, as long as he don't try anything), and wanted to ask Em to marry him, I told him to wait, so, I don't really know. Tough love eh? Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn straight. Well, I hope that Christmas will be good, Alice said, Dakota left from school to the store to get me my Christmas Present. I already got everyones, presents. Im happy with my self. I miss Dakota. Okay, Bella, get out of your world. No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes!!!

"BELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLA!" Alice yelled in my ear

"OUCH! Alice! I AM NOT DEF!" I said, rubbing my hear.

"That fucking hurt!" I yelled.

"Yeah, well, get back into OUR world, Bella. I hate it when you go off to Bella-World."

"Well, its nice there!" I said and 'Hmph'd'

"You guys are so funny." Emily laughed, I like this chick and I don't like this chick.

"Bella, that's mean." Edward said.

"Not, my fault you got a prep." I said in my mind.

"Bella!" Edward yelled.

"Fine, I will be nice." I said.

"You better be, if you want your Christmas present."

"Don't go there buddy-boy. Or, I will make Alice get you all the girl clothes you can possibly fit it." I said.

"You wouldn't."

"Watch me." and that was the end of that conversation.

"Bella! You are so evil! My work here is down!!" Alice said, clapping happily.

"Nice, Alice." I said laughing.

Well, I sat, on the outside, facing towards the window, so, at any moment, someone could come and whack me in the back of the head. They wouldn't if, they don't wanna be bit.

"Bella, that's a good idea." Edward said.

"STAY OUT OF MY MIND!" I yelled.

The whole caf went silent.

"Smoooooooooooooooooooooth, Bella." Alice and Rosalie said.

"Shut. Up." I said getting up and walking when I ran into someone.

"Oh my. I am sorry, I should have watched where I was going." I said bending down to pick my books up.

"Hi, Bella." I'd know that voice anywhere.

"Dakota!" I jumped up and gave him a kiss.

"Now, why are you running from lunch?" he chuckled.

"Edward and his reason to not stay out of my mind." I said.

"Well, lets go, lunch is almost over." Dakota said and pulled me along.

I have no idea, what Dakota got me, which, is probably a good thing, even though, I really wanna know what it is. Anyways. We have off from school tomorrow, to get started on our Christmas Vacation. And, I can't wait. That means, hunting tomorrow, and something the next day, and soon, Christmas. Yay!!! Okay, so, what, I'm a sucker for Christmas, my favorite holiday. Our Christmas Vacation is always the longest, I don't know why, maybe its because, you have Christmas and then Christmas Day and then you have New Years? I don't know. Anyways. We were heading to, oh, I don't know, Gym I think. I have a passing grade in Gym, now. I hate it, so much, though. Having to get changed and blahblahblahblahblah. Though, I don't want to fail. Today we are playing basketball, a sport I am actually good at. I went to go get changed for class, and then came out, seeing, I was like the only one, not in the changing room, right now. Girls and taking so damn long.

"Well, this is nice." I said to myself…

"Alright, girls, we are going to get started, pick your teams." Coach, whatever her name was.

And we began…

45 and 10 minutes later

Normally, we don't go that long, but its like last period, and we can take whatever time we want. It was 30-20. My team, won. What a great game of Basketball. I went to go get changed and then came out, finding Dakota waiting for me.

"Good game." He said, kissing me.

"Not so bad yourself." I said.

"Come on, Bella. Lets go." He said, laughing lightly.

I followed him out to the car.

We arrived home at like 2:30. Everyone was home and they were waiting for us. We walked in the door and Alice was basically on top of me, trying to hug me.

"Uhm, Alice?"

"Bella! I was so worried! I thought Dakota ate you!" she said, dead serious.

"Uhm, Alice. We were in gym." I said.

"Oh! Okay!" She said and skipped off and sat in Jaspers lap.

I looked around to see, Rosalie in Emmetts lap, Alice in Jaspers lap, Amber in Dave's lap, Jessica in Gave's lap and Emily in Edwards lap.

"So, Alice, what are we going to do?" Dakota asked, taking a seat, with me, in his lap.

"I was thinking…we just watch some movies, or something. Or, we can throw a party."

"Well, considering, its Christmas Break…" Edward answered.

"Okay party, is not a good idea." Alice said.

"Okay, watching movies, I guess?" I asked.

"Well, we could play spin the bottle or Truth or Dare…." Alice said.

I growled.

"I take that as a NO, from Bella."

"Your damn right." I answered.

"Be nice, love." Dakota said to me.

"But…"

"Bella."

"Alright, Alright."

"We are just gonna be upstairs, writing music." I said and dragged Dakota upstairs.

5 days later

Isn't it funny when two people can write like 4 songs in like 5 days. Yeah, Dakota and I were up stairs for 5 days straight…and guess what today is. That's right, you guessed it, ITS CHRISTMAS! Yay! I went down stairs to see, A WHOLE SHIT LOAD of presents under our tree. And, yes! We did go get a tree! We are like so happy with ourselves. I laugh at myself, anyways.

Everyone came down stairs, some coming in the door, just getting back from hunting.

"YAY!!!! ITS CHRISTMAS!" I yelled.

Everyone laughed at me.

"Everyone's a critic." I said.

They laughed.

"Okay! Lets get on with it, my goodness." I said.

"OOoooooooooo! I get to go first!!!" Alice said jumping up and down.

"Okay! Okay! Go ahead, Alice!" I chuckled.

"Yay!" She yelled, she went over to the tree and picked up like….I don't know how many presents.

"Okay! This is for, Bella, this is for, Amber, this is for, Jazzy, this is for, Edward, this is for Jessica, this is for, Emmett, this is for Rosalie, this is for, Gabe, this is for Dave, this is for Emily and this is for Dakota."

"That's a shit load of presents there Alice." Gabe said.

She stuck her tong out.

What I got, was a very pretty black dress with a bracelet that said "Sister" on it. There was also a note that said, "Dakota is planning something for you tonight, your welcome." I looked over at Alice and she pretended not to noticed. She knew, what I had bought Dakota for Christmas, but, she didn't tell, normally she tells everything, not trying to be mean.

I could see everyone got nice things from Alice.

"BELLA!!!!!!!!!!!" Alice yelled again.

"God Dammit! Stop that!" I said rubbing my ear.

"Sorry, Bellesy, but its your turn."

"Wait a second, who said I was up next?"

"I did!" Alice said.

I sighed and walked over to the tree and picked up my presents for everyone. Dakota's would wait for later, on, but, I did get him something else.

(A.N! This is an important message from ME! All the presents everyone got, are not gonna be on my profile, ONLY the ones I say, are. Which will mostly, be the ones Bella gets and the ones she gives out. Sorry, I had to tell you all so there was no confusion! Anyways, back to the story. OH! Before I forget, the things in bold like "PICS ARE ON MY PROFILE" yeah, that means, they are and if they aren't, PLEASE tell me! You know I will forget these things!! KKKKKKKKKKAY! Thanks!)

The girls got a necklace that had a meaning with the words "Sister" on it, with something else with it.

The boys got, nice shirts and a watch also. Dakota got, well…he got a really expensive watch along with a full outfit and new phone. (Since I kinda destroyed that last week…thought I would get him a new one. That's a long story.) For Emily's necklace, I did something different. I got the locket and put a picture of me and her in there and on the front I had the words "Em+Bells Friends forever" and on the back "True Friends3". (AN PICTURES OF THEM ALL ARE ON MY PROFILE :D)

"Thank you Bella!" Emily yelled across the room.

"Your welcome." I said, back.

"Dakota, its your turn." Alice said.

He mouthed something to her and then she gave everyone death glares of hell, besides me.

"Uhm, Bella gets her present first and theres a reason for that." He said handing me a velvet box.

I opened it and I gasped. It was a promise ring, there was a chain in the loop, so, they made it a necklace. THAT'S what Alice was talking about. I tear ran down my cheek.

"Bella?" he asked.

I lifted up the necklace for him to take so he could put it on me. I lifted up my hair and he put it on. Then knelt down eye level to me.

"Bella, I love you. Take this promise ring as a show of my love. I'm never leaving you." he whispered into my ear.

I slipped a box in his back pocket.

"I love you too. And that's, my promise ring to you." I said.

"Oh, Bella." he said, as he opened it.

"I love it, as much as I love you." he whispered into my ear.

He got up and I pulled him back down, "Don't leave." I whispered.

"Never." he whispered back and kissed me.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww!" they all said.

I giggled.

"Okay, back to presents. This one is for….Alice" He said throwing hers to her.

"Oooo yay!" I could see she was holding up a pretty, black dress.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, DAKOTA!" She yelled.

"Your welcome, Alice." he chuckled.

"Designer?" I asked.

"Designer" he answered.

Rosalie got a new mirror, Alice got that dress, I got my promise ring, an ipod(new one), the same cell phone as his, but in blue, Edward got a new shirt and Emmett got a teddy bear, (don't ask me why), Emily got earrings along with a heart necklace that said, "Emily" on it, it was really pretty, Jasper got a watch, Gabe got a bottle of water, and Dave got picture of Amber in a bikini (o.o). Alright….now, wait a minute.

"What The Fuck?" Dave said.

Dakota laughed.

"What? I don't need to get you all presents…that's just something, a brother like me, doesn't do."

"What are teddy bears going to take over the world of something?" Emmett asked.

"No, Emmett.. Its going to come the teddy bears and then the end of the world." Dakota said.

"WHAT!? THE END OF THE WORLD!? NO ONE TOLD ME THAT!" Emmett shouted.

"Emmett, seriously, its not the end of the world until 2015..." I said.

"WHAT!???!?!?!?!?"

"Emmett.. IM KIDDING!"

Emmett walked over to me and hit me in the back of the head.

"OW! THAT HURT!"

Dakota got up and smacked him in the back of the head, harder then he did to me.

"DAKOTA! THAT HURT!" Emmett yelled like a sissy.

"Rosie" He whined.

"Don't 'Rosie' me you big dummy." she said.

"But, Im your big dummy"

"I know" she sighed.

The whole day went on like this, just everyone having a great time, getting presents, everything. It was just a blast, after we were done, all of us went out around the town,(at night), and we just looked at all the Christmas lights. This was a day that changed my life forever, and ever. And, I'm gonna stick with it.
