i tried hard to come up with something to write.


"Where is Alice?"i asked Jasper said after he sat down.

"I heard the Bathroom door close from upstairs and i figured you were awake- Alice was still sleeping, and she looked peaceful, so i left her there." he looked at me more awake."Where's Bella?"

I looked down trying to think about where she went when i heard a shriek coming from upstairs.

i followed Jasper up the stairs. we turned the corner to see Alice lying on Jaspers bead in short shorts and a tank top dripping we,. and Bella at the end of the bed with a blanket and a empty Bucket in her hand smiling a devilish grin.

"Bella!"she said in a high pitched scream. "UGH! Get back here!!"

While Alice was screaming Bella fled down the hallway pass me and Jasper.

Jasper went farther into the room to make Alice calm down. My stomach growled.

I headed toward the kitchen when i saw Bella down the hall, trying to get the Dead bolt on the back door unlocked.

i tapped her on the shoulder, and she screamed and jumpe 40 feet into the air.

"Woah calm down, it's me Edward."i said between laughs. she grabbed my arm and yanked me outside

"Shh, she'll find us." she tried not to laugh. and i gave her a confused look. "We play pranks on each other, but i havn't pranked her for a while- i caught her off guard."I heard foot steps approaching the door. "Lets go to my secret hideout."She smiled at me and took off running down a Grass path that seemed to go on forever.

I followed her a few minutes. but i couldn't catch up. She ran like something was going to kill her.She stopped and waited for me next on a rock. " I changed my mind,Lets go to one of my favorite places in forks." i nodded and followed her over rocks and under tree limbs until we stopped in a place that i could say was familiar to me.
My meadow.

"I come here when I need to think, or run from Alice when she's at my house" I laughed along with her.
should I tell her that I used to come here in the summer? I remember the day i stumbled upon the meadow.

I layed on my back in the middle of the meadow.

(flashback)

It was 2 weeks before i had to leave back to Ohio.The last two weeks of my summer that ended up being my last summer i had in forks.My dad and me we're in the kitchen, he had just told me that i couldn't go fishing with him today because it was Men's day i out. I told him that i was Old enough to be a man and go fishing with him, Charlie and Billy. He tried to say that i could just spend the day with Jasper and Jake on the reservation. but i ran to my room.I heard Anthony come up the stairs and i tried to act mad at him. He said he was leaving and that Billy wants the boys to play at my house today, they would be over soon.I nodded, and he left soon after that. I Went over to my desk and began to write a note.The note said.

Dad,
If you don't think i am a man, then i will show you by the only way i can think.
i will get my self lost in the woods, and find my way back, that's how Jacob said to prove my manliness.

Signed, Edward.
(the man)

i ran into the woods for about an hour until i came across an opening.

I walked into a small meadow. it was perfectly Round, and i stayed there for about 3 hours, until i tried to return home.

I marked my way back to the house so i could find the Meadow again.

I got into a lot of trouble by my dad, but i told him i would never do it again.

(end flashback)

ever since that day, i called it my Meadow.i went to my meadow every night before sunset. i also stayed an extra 2 weeks in forks.which is why my mom got so mad at my dad.

Bella came and Layed next to me.

"I was really depressed when I Moved in with Jasper and Charlie."she took a deep breath. "For the first month I locked myself in my room, sometimes i wouldn't eat." i turned on my side so i could see her face.

"I finally broke down so bad, i ran away" her expression was pained."I ended up hiding out in the forest all day, then I decided to head north toward Canada because i remember my mom saying that we had family there." She cleared her throat. "Thats when i found the meadow." i was surprised that she ran away and found the meadow like I did. "I stayed here for a few hours until I cleared my head. I then realized that Charlie and Jasper were my new family- i grew to love them."

i realized she had started crying. I stroked her cheek taking the tears away.

"I've been here before." She stopped crying and stared at me.

she looked as surprised as i did,

"I used to spend my summer breaks in forks, visiting my dad.I got mad at him one day and I ran into the woods for a while, When I came across this meadow, It looked like no one had been there before. i named it my meadow- but i gave it up when i never came back." i started to get sad. "you see over there, how the tree is slanted enough for a small boy to get through?" she nodded. "and behind it, there is a trail that leads to my house- i made so i could find my house on the way back. it was usually dark"she stood up and started dusting off her jeans.

"I think Jasper and Alice will get a little worried if they can't find either of us." i nodded and she led the way back to her house.

we snook into the house without making a noise. We did pretty well until Bella tripped and took me down with her.

We were laughing pretty hard until we were interrupted by an angry Alice.
Sure she's small, but when shes mad. its like an Rabid Racoon.

"Bella your going to get it when you least expect it." we started laughing again when jasper came down the stairs.

"Finally you guys are back, Charlie started to worry- where did you go?"i turned toward Bella, and we shared glances.

"We hid out in the backyard"
"We hid out In the woods" we both talked at the same time.

"We were in the woods in the backyard, you know by that one rock that looks like and half eaten Apple." Bella explained before i could.

"Do you guys want to go get lunch? I'm starving"Jasper said.
Alice ran to get her coat and we all left to the dinner on forks Ave.


Now you all know alittle bit more about Bella.
