Edward and I got closer every single day. I didn't mind. I just couldn't be in love with my best friend. I just got out of a horrible relationship two months ago. I finally got my foot brace off and Alice is practically forcing me to go on a shopping trip, and a new make over. I rolled my eyes and decided to do what was told.

I got in Alice's yellow Porsche with Rosalie in the front and we drove to Port Angeles singing on the top of our lungs singing to Cobra Starship, Paramore, Hey Monday, and Taylor Swift.

When we got to Port Angeles, they both dragged me a salon and told me that I was going to get a haircut and other 'necessary' things. I snorted nothing could really make me look as good as them. They went to go get me new clothes because my closet was in drastic need of new items.

The lady at the salon gave me some cucumbers to put on my eyes and I did as told and we got to the makeover. She had brown eyes with gold specks and her hair was a striking blonde color. She was gorgeous. I could hear snips from scissors, she was cutting my hair. I sighed this was going to be a long day. Finally the snips came to a stop and I felt tin foil on my hair, what is she doing? I was going to ask her what she was doing when this song was playing throughout the whole salon started playing.

all this time i was wasting
hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
and all you do is let me down
and its taken me this long
baby but i figured you out
and you're thinking well be fine again
but not this time around

It was a You're Not Sorry by Taylor Swift. Memories flashed through my head about Jake and I, the beatings, everything. I could feel the tears threatening to trickle down my face.

"Honey, what's wrong?" The stylist who's name is Stacy asked me.

"Nothing." I whimpered. She touched my shoulder and she gave me a sympathetic smile. I felt like I could tell her what happened, spill my whole story to a stranger.

"My ex-boyfriend used to hit me." I told her. She gasped in horror. I got that reaction a lot. Her eyes looked troubled.

"It's okay sweetie, I know how you feel. I had a husband who would hit me too." I was in shock. This nice women was beaten too. I couldn't believe it.

"How.. How.. did you get over it..?" I stuttered. She gave me sad smile.

"It's really hard to get over it, I think about it from time to time. I just try to keep those memories sealed and untouched. My current boyfriend helped me put all the pieces together again." She told me with so much admiration for the guy.

"Wow. I wish I had somebody that could do the same for me." I sighed longingly.

"You might hon, you might just be having trouble accepting it." She told me. Then Edward came to mind, through out the whole conversation Edward was on my mind. How he found me. I smiled at her, she made me realize something that was right in front of me.

"Thank you." I told her sincerly.

"For what?" She asked curiously.

"You made me realize something that was right in front of me all along." She was beaming of joy. I smiled at her. Stacy and I talked about everything. She was such a nice lady, she was only in 21. We became great friends and I promised her to come by and talk sometime. I gave her my phone number so we can meet up sometime. I really did like her she was a wonderful person.

I felt confident and fresh with my new makeover. My hair is four inches past my shoulders with layers all over. I had light brown highlights that made my hair look like a chestnut color. I looked pretty for once. Rose and Alice told me I looked gorgeous. I felt great after that talk with Stacy. It was nice to know I'm not alone.

We got back to my house and we decided we were going to go out with the guys that night. We put on something casual but fashionable and left.

I decided to wait outside for everybody else. They all went in seperate cars. Alice and Jazz were in the Porsche, Rose and Emmett in the Jeep, and Edward and I the Volvo. I was waiting for Edward outside when I heard someone suck in a huge breathe. I turned around to see it was Edward, his mouth was open and his eyes were eyeing me. I blushed at the attention.
"Close that mouth, the flies are going to get in." He blushed, I giggled he looked adorable. He closed his mouth and opened the passenger door to the Volvo. I got in and he went to the drivers seat and drove in comfortable silence to Port Angeles.

"Bella." Edward said, his breathing sounded labored.

"What's wrong Edward?" I was worried.

"I didn't get to tell you how beautiful you look." I blushed deep cherry red.

"Thanks." The rest of the night went without a flaw. It was perfect, I had fun with everybody. Jasper and Emmett commented on my makeover and told me I looked great. I muttered a thanks and blushed.

When I got home Alice and Rose attacked me and told me that Edward and I were shamelessly flirting through out the whole dinner. I denied everything and decided to call it a night they were spending the night at my house.

The next day we had school and I was getting ready for school when Alice told me she was going to plan my wardrobe. She told me to take a shower and I did what she told me. I showered with my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner and washed everything out. I got out of the shower and my clothes were layed out for me. There was a light wash destroyed mini denim skirt and a floral smocked tank. It was blue and green it was adorbale. On my bedside were teal flats. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I looked great. I went downstairs and Rose and Alice were ready already.

"Bella you look great!" Alice and Rose told me.

I blushed and ate some breakfast, once we got to school I felt like someone of staring at me. I was kind of nervous like something bad was going to happen.

I went to all my classes and everything went by fine, but the feeling that someone was following me was still there.

Finally lunch came, and I went and sat at our usual table. Edward was there, he smiled at me when he saw me.

"Hey." He stroked my cheek and I blushed. He smiled crookedly.

"Hey you," He said and picked at his lunch. By then everybody else was there and saw our whole exchange. They were all smiling to wide. Lunch was the same, as always. Edward and I were both being accused of 'shamelessly flirting'. I rolled my eyes at them and shrugged it off.

Biology was fun, Edward and I joked most of the time. He walked me to Gym and I felt like someone was still following me. I must be paranoid. Edward noticed something was bothering me.

"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asked me.

"I don't know, I feel like someone is following me." I told him.

"Well, I'll be here when school ends. Just wait for me and I'll drive you home."

P.E. went by, and Edward was right there waiting for me after school. He stayed over for dinner that night. I still had that feeling like someone was following me. I shrugged it off, I knew Edward knew that I still felt paranoid. He left, and he texted me the whole night. That night when I was getting ready for bed, I felt like someone was looking at me sleep in my window. I sighed and fell asleep. I still had that same nightmare, two months ago. Lately, the dream has been more often.

AN: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just haven't had a good week. I've been sulking in depression and if I would of wrote something I probably would of brought Lauren in the picture. Edward chasing after Lauren instead of Bella kind of thing, yeah I'm sure nobody wants that right? Anyways. Review and I repeat I'm very sorry. Also, I will have a surprise POV next update.
