After school Edward drove me to Angela's.

He said he would drop me off and just drive around the block.

I nodded.

I was glad he knew where Angela lived I had only been here once and I don't think I would of remember how to get here.

I walked up to the door. knocking once.

Angela answered.

"Hey Ang." I smiled brightly.

"Hey, Anna come in."

I followed her into the house and up the stairs.

she let me into her had 2 big bookshelves, a desk with a laptop a printer and in the middle of the room was a queen-size bed. Her walls were a cream color and her floors were hardwood but had a caramel rug on the floor.

"Hey Anna have you been okay?" She asked once she had closed the door behind her.

"Yeah, I'm fine why?"

She looked at me and shrugged.

"You've been off lately I just..." She smiled softly. "I'm always here if you wanted to talk."

I smiled. I really liked Angela.

"I'm okay really thank you."

She reached over to her desk and handed me a box wrapped in silver reflective paper.

I smiled "Thank you."

I opened it.

Inside was a leather belt? It had Anna's name on it. and two books.

"I know your old strap for your camera ripped I found this and had your name put on it. Since you have started to get into the book world I got you these their two of my favorites." I smiled.

Without knowing she had gotten Anna and I gifts.

I wiped at my eyes.

"This is great." I hugged her.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I love it. Thanks, Ang."

I pulled away and laughed.

She smiled at me.

"How are you and Edward?"

"Were great." I smiled widely. "I mean he's amazing and its I don't know how to explain it. He's going to meet my dad this weekend."

"He hasn't met the chief yet wow." She laughed "You nervous?"
"Yes I mean I meet his family on Monday and it was great his parents are lovely I'm a bit worried Charlie will embarrass me."

She was smiling but frowned at the end.

"It will be fine. I'm sure its what parents do." She laughed. " When Ben meet my parents they weren't too bad my brothers." She laughed.

"Im happy Ben asked you out. I saw the way you looked at him when you sat together in Bio and every day since then it was obvious you both liked each other."

She blushed. "Yeah, I didn't know he felt that way I mean..."

"Its just height who cares. doesn't matter how tall, what color, or how old. You can't help who you fall for." I said.

Her smiled widened. "You know I always thought you and Jacobe would be together I mean you two were close and the way you both were together..." She stopped to look at me.

"Jakes great but he and I are just friends. He has a girlfriend." I said shaking my head.

"He does?"

"Yeah, shes really nice you would like her."

"Well, I'm sure I'll meet her some time he brining her to Jessicas party?"

"Jessicas party?" looking to Angela confused.

"Yes."

"Um, when is that again?"

"Come on her birthday doesn't change just the day of the week it falls on." Angella laughed. "First weekend of October. She wants to do the same thing as last year party night on the beach, You should bring Edward and his family."

I bit my lip.

The Cullens couldn't come to La Push and not that but I wouldn't be going either.

I would be in Arizona then.

"Anna, what's wrong?"

"I forgot I'm sorry I...My dad and I are going to Arizona that weekend."

"What? Arizona? Anna, Jessica will flip if you miss her party I mean we plan it together every year you know Lauren won't help."

"I'm sorry I mean Ill help plan it still I just well I meet this girl at Camp and we became really good friends and we made plans that weekend to meet up."

Angela looked at me and shook her head.

"I did forget, I'm sorry. I mean I can see what I can do."

She sighed. "Its Fine Anna."

"you will have to tell Jessica though."

I nodded.

"I better go," I said.

She nodded and I slowly walked downstairs and out the door.

I bit my lip.

I didn't want to upset any of Anna's friends but what could I do? I mean I wasn't Anna I didn't know about her party and Anna is the one that left and won't be back till the end of the month so the real Anna did forget it's her own fault.

I looked up to see Edward holding open the door for me.

His face was stone.

I was confused.

I got into the car.

We drove in silents till he pulled up to my house.

"Are you okay?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to Arizona?"

"Oh," I said. "It slipped my mind I mean it's not for 2 weeks."

"how long will you be gone?"

I bit my lip.

I didn't know the answer to that. It wasn't up to me it all depended on my parents.

"It depends."

"Depends?" He looked to me his eyes were looking to me with worry and he was a bit angry.

I sighed.

"Well Charlie has work, so depends how much time he can get off I mean there is school as well... but I don't know really."

He nodded.

I reached for his hand.

"I will see you before I leave and I'll call and email if you want I mean ints not goodbye I cant..." I shook my head.

I couldn't be away from him. I won't Ill force, my mom, to come here or Ill stay with dad.

"I promise not to leave you," I said. With that, he kissed me.

"I love you, Bella."

"I love you."

"I'm sorry I just the thought of you leaving and so far I just got very anxious and..."

I put my hand on his lips. "I know, I'm sorry."

His face became hard.

"You Okay?"

"Better go unless you wanted me to meet your dad now?"

"No." I shook my head.

"I will see you on Sunday. Go home and relax." I smiled.

"Bella?"

"Yes?"

I looked to him.

"Be careful on Saturday."

"Ill be fine. I'm just going to the blacks for a barbeque." I looked to his face. "Ill be careful."

He smirked, "I look forward to meeting your dad as your boyfriend."

I got out of the car.

"Yes, it will be interesting," I said. Biting my lip.

I went inside.

I headed for the kitchen to pop the lasagna I had prepared the day before into the oven.

Dad was just a few short minutes behind me once the Lasagna was placed in the oven he opened the door.

"Anna?"

I frowned.

What will he say when I tell him?

Will he be mad?

Will he want to know me?

Im I truly right does mom still love him?

Does he still love her?

I shook my head. I knew the answer to these.

Yes she does as does he.

to the others, Im hoping hes not to mad and I really want a relationship with him.

"Hey kiddo you okay?"

I looked up.

Dad looked worried.

How long did I sit here in my thoughts?

"I'm fine dad." I smiled.

"Okay." He didn't look too sure.

"How was school?"

"It was school. My friends had me wear a crown and birthday banner."

He laughed. "I bet that was fun."

I shrugged.

"Angela got me books and a new strap for the camera," I said.

"That's nice. She got you books?"

"Yes. I can't wait to read them." I was interested to see what Angela was into.

"Really?"

I nodded.

"You know I guess this camp was good for you."

"Huh?"

"I love you kiddo but I see you, really grown up over the summer. I haven't gotten one call from any of your teachers. You have been doing your homework and you haven't complained as much as you use too. I know you want a new car and we have been talking bout it. I will make a deal with you. If you can get two good report cards and stay out of trouble till Christmas I'll get you a new car."

I blinked.

"Dad I don't need a new car I love the Truck," I said.

It was a waste of money to buy a new car when the truck worked just fine.

"Anna you hate the truck you've told me multiple times."

I blinked really she hated the truck?

I mean yeah it wasn't new and a bit slow but it had character and I don't know I really liked it.

"Dad I don't need a new car. Maybe we could use the money and do something together."

"Together?"

"Well, maybe we could go on a vacation just a little one you know, their good fishing spots in California we could go Camping or something."

He blinked at me.

I had been looking into things Dad and I could do I wasn't really outdoorsy but after camping outside at camp it won't be too bad plus Cali will be warm and it's close to enough to Arizona and Washington that if I couldn't get my parents together we could meet up.

"You want to go fishing with me?" He asked slowly.

"Well, I mean. I'm turning 17 and I'll be 18 before you know it and then college." I looked to my hands picking at a none resistant hand nail.

I shrugged.

"I thought that we should spend more time together."

"I..." He cleared his throat. I looked up his eyes were a bit misty he looked away.

I smiled.

"I love you dad." I said.

I got up and hugged him.

He laughed.

"Okay who are you and what have you done with my daughter."

I froze. I pulled away.

"W-What?"

He laughed again and it had me relax a little.

"Okay Ill look into some vacation time."

I sighed and smiled.

"Okay."

"Go watch the game dinner should be ready in another 30mins or so. I'll do some homework."

He got up went to grab a beer and headed into the living room.

I stared after him while biting my lip nervously.

I wanted to tell him, I wanted him to know it's me and I wish I wasn't so scared.
