"But da-"

"Shutup Isabella! It is not your turn to talk! You need to apologize to Alina right now or else..." My dad yelled as he paced in front of me. Me and Alina were sitting on the couch as we were getting scolded by our parents.

"I'm not apologizing! That bitch slapped me! I had every right to defend myself and you know it!" I argued back as Alina scoffed next to me.

"Alina I cannot believe you even thought that touching Bella would be ok! You are such an ungrateful little brat sometimes! Can't you just see that I am happy and get over yourself?" Kayla screamed at Alina and for a second I felt bad for her. Alina burst into tears and ran out of the room. I heard a door slam upstairs and rolled my eyes at her melodramaticness.

"Bella, Charlie, I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior. I am so embarrassed right now." Kayla cried and my dad rushed to comfort her.

"Kayla, it wasn't completely her fault. I knew my comments would affect her in that way and I just continued to make them. It was my fault as well. Please don't blame Alina completely." I told Kayla as I sighed and looked down at my hands.

"Thank you Bella. I really appreciate it. But my daughter has had a chip on her shoulder ever since her dad died. It has been hard on her. She is such a great girl. I just wish she would show the people around her the good side. The side that I know and love. The side that I raised. Not the spoiled brat that thinks she is better than anyone and everyone else." Kayla sighed as she sat down on the couch and put her head in her hands. I sadly moved to sit next to her and my dad sat on her other side.

"For what its worth, I have always been able to see the good in Alina. Now, granted we have never gotten along, but on that day when I first met her, I could see how happy she was around the Cullens. Yeah she may have had her hands all over Edward and I may have gotten really jealous but I still can see that Alina is a wonderful person on the inside, she is just afraid to let people in." I told her as I comfortingly patted her knee. My dad sat there quietly as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and rubbed up and down her arms gently.

"Thank you Bella. That means alot to me." She told me through her tears as she hugged me tightly. I nodded to her when she pulled away as I got up and headed upstairs to my room. I opened the door and sighed when I saw Alina sitting on my bed crying.

"I'm sorry." I said as I sat down next to her.

"Oh right. Now that you have seen me crying and pity me you apologize but you couldn't when my mom and your dad was there to show them that it was all your fault and now my mom hates me and its all your fault!" She snapped at me and I rolled my eyes.

"Alina, get over yourself! I get why you hate me! I have Edward! I get it! But seriously, you have Jacob right? I mean thats a plus. And you have your mom who is absolutely wonderful to you and believes in you and is always there for you. Alina, why are you so pissed at the world? Why do you feel the need to put up these walls and push people away and not let anyone get close to you? What have you gone through that you feel you can't trust anyone?" I asked her seriously and she looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Oh Bella, get over yourself. Don't act like you know what I'm going through and can relate. You have no idea. You have the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend, even the perfect family. And I absolutely hate you for it." She seethed before she got up and stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind her. I sighed and laid back on my bed, closing my eyes. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep dreaming about Alina and Kayla becomming family for real and me and Alina actually getting along for once.

I woke up the next morning with the sun shinning bright into my bedroom window. I looked at the clock and groaned when I saw that it was only five o' clock in the morning. When I decided that I could not go back to sleep, I got up and jumped in the shower, letting the hot water relax and untense my muscles. Once I was finished in the shower, I got out and dried myself off. I wrapped the towel tightly around my body and walked to my room. Goosebumps rose up on my arms and legs from the change in temperature from the steamy bathroom to the cool, crisp hallway. I closed my bedroom door behind me and went to my closet. I picked out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a blue long sleeved shirt. I went to my dresser and picked out a braw and underwear set and laid the clothes out on my bed before slipping into my robe. I went back to the bathroom and wiped the extra fog away from the mirror. I brushed my teeth and quickly brushed through my hair. I plugged in my straightening iron and turned it on before plugging in my blow drier and getting out my round brush. I quickly dried my hair and ran the straightner over it lightly. I put on some light make up and went back into my room after putting everything away. I took my robe off and hung it back up in my closet and put my clothes on for the day. I put on my brown uggs over the top of my pants and looked in the mirror. The outfit was form fitting and showed off all of my curves. My hair was straight down my back and was slightly flipped in so you could easily see my layers. My bangs hung nicely over the side of my face. I had light blush on my cheeks that gave my pale skin some color. I had black eyeliner on with smokey brown eyeshadow and black mascara that brought out my plain brown eyes nicely. I put on some colorless lipgloss and popped my lips so it made a loud sound. I went downstairs and saw my dad sitting at the table with his cup of coffee and the morning paper.

"Morning dad." I said as I went into the kitchen and got myself a banana and went to sit at the table with my dad.

"Morning Bells. How'd you sleep?" He asked me and I smiled at him.

"I slept pretty good. What about you?" I replied.

"Same. So what are your plans for the day?" He asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't really have any yet. I was hoping to go maybe hang out at the Cullen's house or maybe go hang out with Angela for the day. What about you?" I asked him.

"I'm taking Kayla out on the boat." He told me and I gasped in shock.

"You! Taking a girl out on the boat? What?" I feigned shock and he threw his paper at me and I laughed.

"You should know by now that Kayla is not just any girl Bells. I love her and I want to show her one of the best things in my life. Second best to you of course." He told me and I smiled at him.

"I know dad. I am glad that you are so happy with her. Though I am a little jealous. You never take me out on the boat." I told him as I crossed my arms and pouted.

"I'm sorry Bells. I promise to take you out on the boat." He told me as he got up and rinsed his empty cup out and place it in the sink.

"When?" I asked him.

"Uhhh... Soon?" He said like he was asking me and I laughed.

"Alright. You go have fun old man. I got the dishes." I told him as I went to the kitchen and turned the water on and to warm.

"Ok. Thanks Bells. You have fun today too whatever you decide to do." He told me and I smiled at him.

"I will dad. Be safe!" I called to him as I heard him grab the car keys and his shoes.

"You too Bells." He called back before he shut the door behind him. I heard the cruiser start and saw him pull out of the driveway. I began to hum a simple tune as I washed, dried, and put away the dishes. I went back upstairs and grabbed my cell phone to see that I had two missed calls, one from Edward and one from Angela. I called Edward back first.

"Hey beautiful." He answered and I blushed as though he could see me.

"Hey handsome." I replied and he chuckled through the phone.

"How are you this morning?" He asked me.

"I am great. How are you?" I replied.

"I am just wonderful now. I missed you baby. How much trouble did you get in yesterday?" He asked me and I giggled.

"Umm, not much actually. My dad kinda blew up on me at first right after you and Jacob left but then Alina stormed upstairs and locked herself in my room and Kayla was crying and I kinda softened up and apologized to both of them. Then I went up to talk to Alina." I told him a short recap of what had happened yesterday after he had left.

"Oh and how did that go?" He asked me, amusement clear in his voice.

"Umm, not so great actually. I tried to be simpathetic and nice to her and apologize for my part in the whole thing and instead of doing the same, or at least taking some responsibility for her part, she just blamed me for the whole damn thing and told me I was basically pathetic for trying to understand what she is going through." I told him before sighing.

"Oh wow, I'm sorry Bella. I wish she would just open up to you like she has to me and my family. She really can be a fun person to hang around. You just got to get to know her. And you can't do that unless she lets you. So don't worry about it alright Bella? She will come to you when she is ready. Just for now, ignore her." He told me and I smiled and felt better.

"Alright, I'll try to just ignore her. It just drives me crazy because I really want my dad to be happy and I know that the only way that is going to happen is if me and Alina stop this pointless fighting and just let my dad and Kayla be together and be happy for them you know?" I explained to him, sadness in my voice.

"I know baby. And I garuntee that Alina feels the same way. She just needs her time to get over whatever is bothering her and then you guys can work everything out. Just let her come to you and until that happens just act like she doesn't bother you alright?" He replied and I sighed.

"Ok Edward. I guess you know her alot better than I do so I guess I have to listen to you don't I?" I replied teasingly and he laughed.

"Good choice love." He said and I rolled my eyes and giggled.

"So what are your plans for today?" I asked him, changing the subject.

"Well, Alice is dragging me on a shopping trip. First to the mall for summer clothes and then we have to go to the grocery store to get the stuff for the bonfire tonight. You are comming right?" He told me and I smiled.

"Yes, I will be there. I know my dad is planning on comming but he took Kayla out on the boat today so I don't know for sure if they will make it tonight." I told him and we both laughed.

"Well, as long as you are there then that is all that matters to me babe." He replied and I smiled brightly and felt the butterflies in my stomach.

"Well, yes I will be there. I actually need to do some shopping of my own for summer and maybe get a new baithing suit for tonight. I don't know I guess I'll see. But don't you dare tell Alice what I said! She will try to drag me with you guys and I am so not up for a shopping trip with Alice today." I told him and he laughed.

"Alright I won't say a word to her about it I promise." He said.

"Thank you." I told him and giggled.

"So who are you going to go with then?" He asked me curiously and I thought about it.

"Well, maybe Angela wants to hang out today. I know she mentioned going on a summer shopping trip. She will probably come with me." I told him.

"Alright baby. Well Alice is saying that we need to go. Have fun with Angela and I will see you tonight. I love you, gorgeous girl." He told me and I smiled and blushed.

"You have fun too. I love you too." I replied before hanging up the phone. I quickly dialed Angela's number and listened to the rings.

"Hey Bella!" She answered in a happy tone and I smiled.

"Hey Ang. What are you doing today?" I asked her, getting straight to the point.

"I don't have anything planned except for the Cullen's bonfire tonight with Ben. Why? What did you have in mind?" She asked me curiously.

"Well, I know how you have been saying we need to hang out and you need some summer clothes and so do I, so I thought maybe we could go shopping. If you're up to it." I replied and could almost hear her jumping up and down in excitement on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah Bella that sounds great! What time do you want me to meet you?" She asked me.

"Well, I can actually come pick you up now if you want me to. I am all ready to go." I told her.

"Well, I just have to get dressed and stuff but you can come over now and just hang out with me til I am ready if you want." She told me and I smiled.

"Alright. I will be there in a few. Bye Ang." I said.

"Bye Bella. See ya." She said and I hung up. I grabbed my keys and purse and took off to go pick up Angela.
