Authors note-Hello reviewers. So August 29th my story, Another Chance, had it's last chapter posted, it was a little sad, but it gives me more time to focus on this story, which is good.
Important.
During the weekend I have family coming and before that I have to paint my bedroom, yes, I have yet to finish. Some of you that read Another Chance and saw the authors note about me painting my bedroom for my Birthday last March, yes, I haven't finished. So Thursday (it's after midnight so it's tecnically already Thurdsday)-Sunday a chapter will be hard to get out so don't expect one. Monday will probably be when I update, school has started also so I have that responsibility.
I thought that I should let you all know that because I don't want you to think I am having writers block or something.

It's been a few weeks since I left California. Tomorrow was Edward and I's one year anniversary and I was pretty down that I couldn't be with him.
We had been talking a few times a week. Maybe three. Homework was not light in my grade, I was constantly getting homework assignments and Janie and I were together alot. I knew that Edward missed me, I knew because he constantly told me and I missed him even more. If my dad would get his head of out his ass then I could go back to California. If I did then I would miss someone from Forks.
Jane and I had become quick friends after my first day of school, we really seemed to click as friends and we hung out together quite often. She was really nice and was the only one who didn't glare at me, she was fun and energentic but could be calm.
She knew about Edward, after asking me countless times why I look unhappy, I told her. I said I didn't want her sympathy, she ignored me and said that she was sorry.
It was a Saturday and I was currently wrapping a gift that I was going to send out to Edward. He was no help when it came to a gift. I channeled my creative side and collected up all the pictures that we had of eachother. When it came down to it there were over a hundred. I printed them all out and collaged them together on a sheet and framed it, the frame was two feet by two feet and it was full of pictures.
After wrapping it in bubble wrap and securing it in the box I taped it up and walked downstairs, in that same moment the doorbell rang. I walked to the front door and opened it, seeing a UPS guy. He handed me a package and I signed for it, I thanked him and shut the door.
I walked into the kitchen and set the package down, it was for me. After ripping off the tape and opening it I saw two packages in it and a note ontop of the smaller package's.
I opened it up and read it.
Bella,
It surprises me that we have been together for a year. It seems longer then it really is. As the days go on I only love you more and more and wish that you were here with me to celebrate our one year anniversary, or I there with you.
California seems very boring without you. My dad seems overjoyed that you aren't here, I have begun to think that he likes seeing me wallow in misery. I hope that this year finishes up and the next one fly's by because I miss you.
I love you.
Sincerely,
Edward
A small smile graced my face as I read his letter. I grabbed the first package and took off the plastic back. When I took it out I saw that it was a jacket. It was a blue color and had four pockets on the front and one of the left upper arm. It zipped up and had a hoodie. It was a beautiful jacket. I wondered how much it cost, I didn't want him to spend money on me.
There was a note attatched to the sleeve.
I got you a small because your tiny, but you fit perfectly in my arms.
I set it down carefully and laughed. He was too sweet sometimes. I picked up the second package, it was alot smaller then the other. When I got the paper off it I saw the little blue box with a white ribbon...
I opened it and almost gasped. It was a beautiful silver link clasp bracelet with a dragonfly charm, it had three round diamons in the drangon fly and the wings had green lacquer in white gold. I fastened it around my wrist, grabbed my jacket and darted upstairs, I grabbed my cell phone and quickly dialed his number.
" Hey, baby."
" You really didn't have to spend money on me."
" I wanted to."
" I just sent out your gift. But, thanks for the jacket and bracelet. I love both and I love you, thank you."
He chuckled " Of course. I love you, too."
I laid down on my bed and sighed " I really miss you." I said quietly.
" I miss you, too. I don't know how long I can stand this...being without you." he murmured.
" I know."
" Hey, Bells." I heard a familar voice say.
When I turned my head I saw Jane, she stood in the doorway for a minute before walking over to my bed to sat down, leaning her back against my mound of pillows. I gave her a small smile and she waved, wiggling her fingers.
Her straight black hair was held back in a ponytail, a stray short peice hanging infront of her face. She wore a My Chemical Romance t-shirt with a pair if ripped up skinny jeans and a pair of battered bright orange converse.
" Talking to your sweetheart?"
" Yeah."
She reached her hand over and snatched the phone from my hold. I yelled her name and she smirked and put my phone to her ear. I rolled my eyes and huffed. All she had to do was ask me if she could talk to him..
" So, Edward. I hear Bella rave about you constantly, tell me about yourself."
He must of said something funny on the other line because she laughed.
" You have a sexy voice, too."
" Stop hitting on my boyfriend." I whined
" Well, Edward, I better give you back to your drama queen girlfriend before she kills me."
She smiled and handed me the phone. I grabbed it from her hand and put it to my ear, already missing the sound of his velvetly voice.
" You have one interesting friend, Bella." Edward commented.
"I know." I replied, watching as Jane snooped around my room.
" Well, I have some tests to study for. I'll call you later."
" Okay, I love you."
" You too, babe. Bye."
I hung up the phone just as Jane gasped. I looked up and saw that she was holding a picture of Edward and I that was on my book shelf. Of course she would go snooping for a picture. I have never shown her any, all she knew is that he had bronze hair and green eyes.
" Damn girl, is that him?"
I nodded slowly
" Now I know why your so down, he is so cute." she commented.
" Yeah...I love him to death."
" I can tell, considering you talk about him all the time." Jane muttered.
I let out a long sigh and gave her an apologetic look " I'm sorry Jane, I just miss him so much and it's hard not having him with me."
She sat back down on my bed and patted my knee " Soon you'll be on a plane to California, ready jump into his arms. As of right now, just get through it. Life can't always go the way you want it."
I nodded solemly and set my phone down. She grabbed my hand and jumped up, pulling me with her.
" Let's go shopping or something. Winter is here and I know you need more clothes."
With a groan I reached over for my purse " Fine, but only a little. I still need to find a job around here, getting low on cash and it's not like I am going to ask my dad."
Jane rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand. I reached for my new jacket and slipped it on, zipping it up and swinging my purse over my shoulder.
We drove to the Port Angelos mall, which I was unfamilar with, and Jane and I walked through. She dragged me into hot topic and we picked out some shirts. I got a muse and linkin park t-shirt and a black long sleeve shirt to go under it.
I somehow got her into American Eagle, I only shopped here occasionally. They had nice v-neck sweaters. I bought a black sweater, a red one and a white one. Back home I had more and I brought them with me.
The best store in the mall was Converse, damn they had there own store and it was heaven. Janie convinced me to get knee high converse just for fun. She got matching ones.

Sunday I spent the whole day talking with Edward. I desperately longed to kiss him again. It was unbearable. Half the time I spent on the phone I was in tears, though he tried to calm me down it didn't help. The only thing that would make me feel better is if I was there with him.
After eight his father forced him off the phone and I was unable to speak to him.
I haven't talked a sentance to my father since I've been here. There is nothing I can do.
-----
Thanksgiving was soon here and I dreaded it. Though I went grocery shopping to make dinner. It was a twenty seventh, a Saturday.
While my father threw himself into work I was home making dinner. A small turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes and green beans. Not too much but not too little. I talked to Edward a little while, knowing that he would make me feel a little better.
My father wasn't around, nor did he want to be around, that hurt me.
When I was finished cooking everything for dinner and the turkey was carved I set everything on the table and sat, waiting. But he never made an appearance. I ate by myself and put the food away, tears falling from my eyes in the process.
If he is the one who wanted to come here, and forced me along then why does he have to take everything out on me. There was no logical explaination, there was no reason. He did this, not me. If it were my choice then we all know where I would be right now.
After finished in the kitchen I went up to my bedroom and changed into a pair of silky white pajama pants an a long sleeved white shirt. I crawled into bed and covered myself with all the blankets.
Jane called me, saying something about going on vacation to Florida for winter break. It was a surprise gift from her parents. They were pretty wealthy people and Jane had said that they normally went to Florida around Christmas time and New Years because while it was cold here in Washington, It was nice and warm in florida.
If only it was California, then I could secretly tag along.
Edward called me around ten, my dad still wasn't home, and we talked for ten minutes before we both decided it was time for bed, we were both tired, Edward more though. He had his aunts, uncles and grandparents over at his house for a get together, and he spent the day entertaining guests that he said he didn't want to entertain.
My father wasn't home by ten fifteen so I went to sleep, there was no point in waiting up for him when he was going to be coming home late. I wasn't just sad, I was angry. He did this, it's his fault and he knows it because that is why he is ignoring me.
I hadn't talked to my mother at all since I have been here, I figured it was because she was ignoring me too. It made me upset, made me feel like this was all my fault, but I knew it wasn't. I had no control as much as I wished I did.
A question still floated around my head. Why did my father hate Carlisle Cullen. It was a question I never got an answer to and I don't think I would be finding it out soon.
My thoughts were bouncing around my head and I finally started to feel tired. I closed my eyes tightly and burrowed my head in my pillows, holding our burgundy blanket close to my chest.
Authors Note- I know this chapter kinda blows, I guess I do have a small case of writers block. Don't worry, I have a few days to think about what I can do next.
