I awoke from my sleep, not feeling the least bit refreshed even after sleeping 12 plus hours. Begrudgingly, I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom to take a nice hot shower.

Turning the hot water on, I stepped into the shower, hissing a little as the hot water cascaded down my back. The sting of the temperature was overshadowed by the loosening of my tension filled muscles.

Yesterday had done a number on my body, emotionally and physically. I knew today wouldn't be any better. Paul would want to talk and Embry, well he was probably going to be gone for a while. I felt so guilty for hurting my best friend and wished it could have ended up differently.

No you don't. A condescending voice whispered.

I sighed.

The voice was right, as much as I didn't want to hurt Embry, I wouldn't want to give up Paul either. It was odd to think that way since I had only known Paul for a day and I was already feeling so tied to him. I was willing to give up my friendship and possibly more just to be with a guy I had known for not even a day. In retrospect it sounded crazy; to any normal person it would be nuts but obviously I wasn't destined to follow the path of a normal person.

Getting dressed I headed downstairs, to be greet by Charlie attempting to make breakfast. I needed to jump in before he burnt down the house.

"Hey dad, I can handle breakfast. Why don't you go watch sports center?" I offered.

He gave a grunt in response.

I don't know why he even tried to cook; the man could burn air if given the chance.

In no time at all I had a nice breakfast made, bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. They were my favorite.

I put two on a plate for Charlie and called him into the kitchen.

"Good choice." He said approvingly.

I hummed in response, already halfway through my first sandwich.

"So did you go thank Sam Uley yesterday?"

I about hacked on my food, "Yeah I did dad."

"And?" he urged.

"And what?" I replied.

"Bell's you were gone for half the day. You couldn't have said thanks and left." He deduced.

Damn my dad and his cop abilities.

"Yeah well Embry was there and I met his friends. Oh by the way you might be seeing more of one of them." I told him vaguely.

"Them? Is it a guy Bella? And are you talking to Embry again?" He asked warily.

"Yes, his names Paul and yes." I knew he wasn't going to like any of my answers.

"I can't say I approve, of any of it but you're old enough to decide who you want to associate with." He said with a frustrated sigh.

A smile crossed my face," Thank you for trusting my choices."

He gave me a light bob of his head.

"Alight well I'm going to work, got called in because of some animal attacks the next town over." He explained.

"Be safe dad."

"I always am." He replied.

The whole day went by slowly, after cleaning the kitchen there was nothing left to do so I opted to read, Wuthering Heights, my most favorite book ever. The pages were worn from the many times I had read it.

Halfway through the book there was a knock on the door, I carefully creased the corner of the page I was on and went to see who was at the door.

Opening the door, I didn't recognize who it was, "Hello? May I help you?" I asked.

"Yes I'm Edward Cullen and I was wondering…" he broke off. This man was odd; there was something off about him that I couldn't place.

"I'm sorry," He whispered apologetically, before I saw black.

A/N So, as I have said in my other stories, I do not like Edward. Now I will not make him evil, more like struggling. Tell me what you think so far.
