(A/N: This chapter is really short, but to get the desired effect at the end it needed to be. Edward has been stalking Bells outside of La Push, and he strikes again. Paul, the big bad wolf, won't stand for that. Lol.

Thanks for the reviews! I love you guys. I just wanna let you know that I do not plan on where the story is going, I just sit down at the computer, and let my mind roam. It seems to be going well this time.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. BUT I DO LOVE IT. )

Kim had taken the news differently than I had. She had fainted on the beach, causing Jared to almost have a heart attack. But after she had come to, she was fine with everything. It was nice to have another girl in on the supernatural world, especially one that goes to school with me. Emily loved her too, and we decided to all go shopping Friday night in Port Angeles.

The day leading up to our shopping trip passed nicely. She would sit at our lunch table now, and Quil was back to school too. Embry got his drivers license, so he would drive Jake and Quil some days, if I wanted alone time with Paul in the mornings. I was grateful for this, but didn't want to push my friends away or anything. Jake was still trying to revive my truck from the coma it was in.

Friday after school, Emily swung by my house to pick me up, and Kim was already riding shot gun in the car. I grabbed my black leather purse and pulled on my hoodie, and left the house, making sure to lock the door. I jumped in the car, and we all chatted and sang along to the radio on the way to Port Angeles. Emily had a cute little car, a silver Volkswagan Beetle. It was very small and sweet, fitting her personality almost as well as my rusty chevy fit mine.

We went into many small shops, trying different things on. Emily insisted I try on this dark blue sun dress, and I surprisingly loved it. I also found a few other things, and even dragged the two girls into a local bookstore to buy books. We were absently walking down the aisles of books together, glancing at titles and talking about The Hunger Games series becoming movies. Suddenly, I saw a pale white figure, and practically slapped myself in the face with shock. Edward Cullen stood across from me and my two friends, who were now silent. Probably scared.

" What are you doing here, Edward?" I practically yelled, getting frustrated. This was ridiculous! He didn't even belong in my life, my story. No one in their right mind wants to be followed around by a vampire who was insinuating your true love was dangerous.

" Alice told me you would be here, and since I'm not allowed on the Reservation, this is the only time I can see you." He smiled, and looks as if he was trying to dazzle me or something. I felt that it really just made him look even more ridiculous and fake than he was. Stupid sparkly, blood sucking, shiny Volvo owner.

" I am in love with Paul. He is mine, and I am his. You and I are nothing. We are practically enemies!" I shrieked back. He shook his head and chuckled, insisting that he was correct.

Emily interjected, " We shouldn't be messing around with him, Bella. We can tell the pack about his later. Let's just go check out and find something to eat."

" Yeah…" stuttered Kim. I sighed, turned quickly, and followed Kim and Emily. We paid and left, driving toward the local Italian place.

" What just happened?" asked Kim, worriedly.

" Every time I come out of La Push, Edward magically appears where I am. He is convinced we are soul mates. Please don't tell Paul, he will freak out and break the Treaty or something." I replied, cautiously.

" I don't know, Bella. Sam would want to know about this immediately if it happened to me!" insisted Emily.

" Fine, I'll tell him later." I relented.

The rest of the evening went as planned, and we enjoyed our meal together. We were as much like sisters and the Pack was like brothers. It was nice to belong. On the way home, I decided to call Paul and inform him of the 'Edward Problem' while there were others in the car to back me up here.

He answered on the first ring, and Kim and Emily went silent.

" Hey Babe."

" Hey Paul." I replied.

" Did you have fun shopping? Want me to come over?" He asked.

" That would be great, and yes it was fun. But there's a bit of an issue with Edward Cullen."

" Is a leech giving you trouble?" he asked, his voice thick with rage.

" Calm down…but yes, I guess you could say that. He has showed up where I am every time I leave La Push. I didn't really think much of it the two times at the store, but this time was no coincidence. He showed up at the book store where we were, and tried to convince me that you and I were not meant to be, and that I was his mate." I rushed out. All I could hear was a growl and the crackling of his cell phone that he just destroyed.

Uh Oh.
