Chapter 13
Bella's POV *Part 1*
I huffed as I slumped down in the seat of Angela's car after giving her directions to my apartment. I had left my baby taking all of my things out of it in the parking lot and I hate leaving it there. When we got to my apartment, I instantly grabbed my cell phone calling Jenn
"Hello?" she asked
"Hey Jen its Bella" I said
"Hey Bella! Do you need me to bring Sammy down?" she asked
I looked over at Angela to see her on her phone talking to Sam's babysitter
"Ya bring him up" I said
"Give me a few minutes okay?" she asked
"Okay" I said hanging up the phone
When I noticed Angela again she was no longer on the phone but was looking around my apartment, it made me laugh
"It's nice isn't it?" I asked
"Nice? I think this place is fabulous!" she said
I laughed at her
"My parents got it for me when I started to go to school here in Seattle," I said
"Are you still going to school?" she asked
"Um….kind of" I said blushing a little bit
The knock on the door interrupted our little conversation and I walked over opening the door as Sammy ran in. Angela screamed jumping on the couch
"You have company?" Jen asked
"Angela gets down from the couch! Sammy won't kill you," I said rolling my eyes at her
"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!" he barked violently
Angela was still screaming jumping on the couch trying to stay away from Sammy, it made me roll my eyes again….Sammy would never hurt her. Even though she did not know that
"Um…Bella who's this?" Jen asked
"Jennifer this is my friend Angela from high school Angela this is my upstairs neighbor Jennifer," I said
Jennifer held out her hand Angela to shake and Angela shook it getting off the couch ignoring Sammy as he barked at her violently.
"You watch….the dog?" Angela asked
"Yes I watch Sammy," Jen said
"Sammy?" Angela asked
"Yes Sammy" I said
"That's Sam's name…..I mean I call him that a lot…..what happens when he comes here?" Angela asked
"Come here?" Jen asked
"Angela is staying with me until she finds her own place," I said
"Why?" Jen asked
"I got divorced a year ago and I moved to LA a few weeks ago my son Sam and I have been staying in a hotel and Bella offered for me to stay with her since she had the room," Angela said
"Oh" Jen said
"Jen…." I said
"Oh I won't stay long Jennifer…..just until I find an apartment," Angela said
"Oh…." She said
"It won't be long….maybe a week or two." Angela said
"No it's okay….I just wondered" Jen said
"Jen we will do things together….Angela won't change that," I said
"That's what you said when you hired Lisa" she said
"Jen…." I said
"Don't worry about it Bella, call me if I can watch Sammy" she said walking out of the door
I groaned sliding my hand over my face and Angela frowned
"How long have you two been friends?" she asked
"Since I moved here," I said
"When was that?" she asked
"9 years ago" I said
Her eyes widened
"You've been living here 9 years?" she asked
"Yes" I said
"Wow…." She said
"I know I've been here forever right?" I said
"You've been here a while….doesn't it get boring living in the same place so long though?" she asked
I shrugged and bent down to pet Sammy
"It doesn't get that boring, when you have really nice neighbors it helps," I said
"Oh really? How many neighbors do you even have?" she asked
"A few, Jennifer is right upstairs…..she's been here for a while now, a while longer then me. Ms. Neal is next door she moved here when her husband died from a heart attack at 35…..young right? Mr. Jenks is across from me, he's lived here his whole life and is about 75. Ms. Williamson is right next to Mr. Jenks, she's a young girl at the age of 18 she moved here about 6 months ago while she goes to the university" I said
"Are you friends with all of them?" Angela asked
"Oh ya, when Jennifer is busy I get Mr. Jenks or Ms. Neal to watch him and when they're not free and Amber is I'll see if she can watch him" I said
"Is Amber Ms. Williamson?" she asked
"Yes she is," I said
I remember when she moved in…
Flashback
I was eating some cereal still sitting in my pajamas and reading the paper when I heard some boxes being thrown onto the ground and someone grunting dragging the boxes. I slipped on my flip flops and grabbed a coat before walking silently out the door. I saw a girl black hair and blue eyes trying to move some boxes, she couldn't be older then 18.
"Um….miss?" I asked
Her eyes snapped to mine
"Do you need some help?" I asked
Her eyes lit up
"Can you lift heavy things?" she asked
"Yes" I said
Having to take weightlifting freshman and senior year had its advantages.
"Thank god….I'm Amber Williamson by the way" she said holding out her hand
I shook her hand
"Bella Cullen…..how old are you amber?" I asked
"18, I moved here from the other side of the US" she said
"Ya where did you come from?" I asked
"Michigan" she said
My eyes widened, she has came all the way from Michigan?
"Did you get a scholarship to the university?" I asked
She laughed
"No I didn't, I've just wanted to come to this school ever since I was little. I had everything planned out from when I was 8 for coming to this school" she said
"Isnt it a bit far from home?" I asked
"Ya but I have some family up this way, my aunt and uncle live about 4 hours away so…." She said
"In Forks?" I asked
"Ya I think so…..are you from there?" she asked
"I am, I'm Doctor Cullen's daughter" I said
"My aunt did mention a doctor Cullen whenever I called her but I never knew he and his wife had kids" she said
"I'm an only child" I said
Well if you don't count Lacy since she wasn't there when I was growing up
"Oh…." She said
"I do have a adopted sister though….my parents just couldn't conceive" I said
"Oh…not being able to have children sucks…." She said
"Can you not…?" I asked
She shook her head
"Nope I can't," she said
Wow…..how much this girl confesses to me for some odd reason….and I trust her.
"Okay now back to helping you" I said
She broke out a smile
"Thank you again Bella" she said
"Your welcome" I said
End of flashback
A/N- I'm pleased with the reviews! Thats why i'm updating :) You guys were kind of pissed at Bella for acting like she did, dont worry she's not always like that :) We end with a flashback AGAIN! I know some of you may hate me for ending in flashback's but sometimes it helps the story progress because we're getting what happened at some times. Next….back to Edward! Please review, can we get to 200?
