That´s What Little Girls Are Made Of...

Chapter Twenty-Four

BPOV

The next morning I was startled awake by my father, Charlie, knocking none too gently on my bedroom door. "Bells," Charlie called in a gruff voice.

"Mmmm..." I moaned, burrowing deeper under the covers. "It´s summer, Daddy, I don´t have to get up early," I complained grouchily.

Yeah, I was so not a morning person!

"Suite yourself, Bells," Charlie countered from the hallway. "I´ll just send that giant box downstairs back to Chicago where it came from. You go ahead and get some rest now, I´ll take care of everything."

What?

Box…

Chicago…

Yeah, after I heard that, I was up and out of bed like the room was on fire. Taking the stairs two at a time, I was surprised that I didn´t break my neck on the way down; turns out that my clumsiness took a backseat when Edward was involved.

Just as promised, Mr. Panda had arrived safe and sound, along with a few other goodies, like a huge bag of my favorite candy, Jelly Belly´s, and some pictures of us all around Chicago.

A girl could get use to this!

That day marked the start of a tradition of sorts. Each week, I´d receive a letter and something from Edward that caused him to think of me. It was never anything big, but it was always something that would mean something to only us.

And in return, I´d write back and send him seashells that I´d collected from First Beach since I didn´t have any money to spend. I was worried that he would think it was silly, but each time he called, he couldn´t stop talking about how beautiful they were.

It was our thing!

Our special thing!

Edward and I had become best friends.

On the first day of school, Esme surprised me with a new calendar that I could mark off the days until Christmas and Edward´s visit. Per Edward´s instructions, I was to make a list of all the places I wanted to show him. Since this would mark his first time in the Pacific Northwest, I was looking forward to it.

Sadly, things didn´t go quite as planned.

Life has a way of ruining even the best laid plans!


Keep the love flowing! Please, let me know what you guys are thinking. Are you still with me?One more, then it´s off to bed for me!
