The next morning I find myself awake at the crack of dawn with the biggest smile I have had on my face since coming home.

I even answer the phone happily when it rings five minutes later.

Ggood morning" I say not looking at who was calling.

"You got laid!" not a question

"I did not!" I sit up in bed and rub my neck with my free hand. I need to get a new bed if I stay here much longer.

"You sound happy!"

"And I can only be happy when I have haD sex? That's not very nice Alice"

"Well I never said I was nice" this is why she is one of my best friends people "what happened?"

"Why are you calling so early?" I ignore the question with my own, sometimes its fun confusing her.

"Bella! Don't mess with me" ohh fight talk " and it's not that you can only be happy when you have but it's usually why"

"smooth" I chuckle and pull my body off the bed and stretch "and your making it out like it is a regular occurrence"

"So how's forks?" I laugh and turn to grab my dressing gown to go downstairs but freeze when I spot Edward looking at me.

"Dull, snowy and did I say dull?" Liar, liar pants on fire. We smile and wave at each other before I quickly run down the stairs to get some breakfast. I am hungry

"It can't be that bad" she knows I'm lying. I think her and Emmett have a bet on how long it is until I turn up on one of their doorsteps.

"I suppose it's not that bad"

"Your not telling me something"

"I don't know what your talking about Alice Hale"

"Don't double name me Isabella swan, anyway the reason I was calling was to see if you had changed your mind about coming to the Hampton's for Christmas?"

"Alice, I can't"

"You know I would pay for your ticket, money is not a problem"

"I know it's just, I think I'll skip this year" I pull a carton of eggs from the fridge "plus Charlie is working and I can't leave him all alone at Christmas"

"I'm going to miss you being there"

"Me too"

"Your coming to Rose's event for new years though, right?"

"Yep, I will definitely be there"

"yay!" she screamed in my ear through the phone "right I have to dash my lovely,I love you"

"love you to Alli"

"If you change your mind just say the word and you will be on the next flight out, Charlie too"
