"Hello?"
"Who is this?" I asked, expecting Edward to pick up the home phone.
"Sam. Who's this?"
"Umm... Why are you picking up the Cullen's phone?" I questioned.
"Rose and Emmett are a little occupied at the moment. Nobody else is here so I thought I'd do the gentlemanly thing. Clearly you're not impressed?"
Scrunching my brow I bit my lip. Was this Sam guy flirting with me or was I losing my marbles?
"Is Edward there?" I finally spluttered.
"Nah, the kids gone out somewhere."
"Oh, well can I leave a message?"
"What am I, a secretary?" he grumbled.
"Well you did pick up the phone," I giggled, amused by his behaviour.
"Sure whatever. Lay it on me."
Relaying my message I said goodbye to Sam and headed back downstairs to put the phone on charge.
Grabbing a parka and sliding on some boots I headed towards the library to pick up some extra marks for my chemistry exam.
My course work was sliding far faster than I was able to catch it and by cramming I hoped it would get me at least partially over the line.
Walking through the door I groaned when I saw Bella shyly waving.
Sitting at an old desk she had piles and piles of old books from every subject surrounding her.
"Hey Bella," I grumbled as I took a seat and undid my jacket. "Studying?"
"Yeah," she chuckled nervously. "I was supposed to meet Jessica and Angela but they must be running late."
Glancing at my step sister she grimaced before hiding her bubble watch under her long sleeve shirt.
"How long have you been waiting?" I asked seriously, knowing they'd purposely stood Bella up before.
"Uh, two hours," she blushed as her head bowed.
Hearing a collaborative of voices I glanced through a stack of books knowing I'd heard one of them before.
I had to blink to actually believe in what I was seeing.
Edward sat on a lounging chair with some blonde slut on his lap who was desperately kissing his neck and any piece of skin she could reach.
He laughed and pawed at her thighs as he enjoyed the lashing he was receiving.
That was until his eyes met mine.
"Fucking bitches," I spat as I tugged Bella to her feet and began heading to the door. I couldn't deal with this shit right now.
You're all I need, my ass.
"I have to study Lee," she whined as I threw on my coat and grabbed hers from the back of the chair.
"Let's go do something fun alright? Forget studying, forget shitty friends, let's just go hang out, you know, like sisters."
Bella's eyes softened for a moment and I knew I'd won her over. It wasn't very often I offered to hang out with anyone besides Edward, the liar.
"Okay. Where are we going?"
"Anywhere but here."
