Recap of the previous chapter:

"Bella. You're mom would kill me if I stay-" he was cut off.

"Oh no hunny, not at all. Stay if you want. Um... Hello?...yes...but Issa's...alright... Hey Edward hunny, do you mind taking care of Issa. There's something I have to do. There's food in the fridge and feel at home. Issa baby, get well soon, mommy just needs to go, dunno when I'll be back. Cya kids!" with that said, my mom was gone.

This is cannot be happening to me. As much as I love Edward's company, it's just too embarrassing to be with him like this.

Good Lord, please let everything be alright.

Chapter 5: Guess Who's Coming

"I'm so sorry Edward. I swear I'll make it up to you." I apologized for the nth time already this morning.

He chuckled, "Don't worry about it. My dad's on his way here, so you'll just have to wait for a couple of minutes." I nodded and sighed.

It's still so early in the morning and everything's topsy turvy already. I don't know when I lost consciousness but the next thing I knew was I was holding onto Edward like my life depended on it. Talk about awkward and embarrassing. Thank God Edward just shrugged it off like it's not that of a big deal. God damn, he shouldn't be around when I'm sick.

Suddenly, a very annoying vibration that came from under my pillow snapped me out of my thoughts. I groaned and reached out under the pillow to find the source of the vibration. I pulled my phone out and looked at the caller I.D.

Of course.

I pressed the call button and said my excuse to Edward and pressed the phone on my ear.

"Yea?" I said through the phone.

"BELLA! MY BELLY BUTTON BELLA! I HEARD MY DEARY IS SICK! DON'T WORRY, EMMY'S COMING TO THE RESCUE- OW! ROSE WHAT THE FUCK?" I had to pull the phone off my ear and grimaced at my phone. Just how much louder could he get?

"Give me the damn phone!" I Rose's voice came from the phone.

"Guys stop it! Em, watch the road! Argh shit, WATCH THE FUCKING ROAD!" now that's definitely Alice.

I stared at the phone in disbelief. They're crazy. I turned to find Edward holding back a smile, his eyes twinkling in amusement.

"Sorry, friend's are crazy." I told him and he flashed me a smile at the same time I heard all of them say, "We heard that!" through the phone. I rolled my eyes at no one in particular and again pressed the phone to my ear. "Guys, put me on speaker and PLEASE, and don't talk together."

"Sorry Bella." that was Jasper.

I smiled. "Nah, it's cool Jazz. Exactly, whose coming over?"

"Alice, Rose, Em, me and Stefan." he answered. I'm surprised that everybody became quiet and they just let Jazz talk, but what I'm even more surprised at was the Stefan's coming.

"Ya'll are skipping class just to come here." I stated. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I nearly shrieked. "Em, turn around and go to school damn it. I thought the deal was Saturday? Or was it Friday?"

"Actually, it's a Monday." Alice answered.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

It was Rose this time. "Yea, the chemistry lab was on fire last night. School declared no classes for a week. Ya know, safety purposes and shit. So you don't mind us sleeping over right? I'm sure Renee wouldn't mind."

"Ugh. You lucky bastards! Anyway, I'm gonna ask mom about it-" I got cut off.

"No worries bout that belly button, she said it's cool." Emmett answered. I rolled my eyes.

"You guys are planning shits on your own again." I accused.

"You don't mind Issa, admit it." they all said and I giggled.

"Course not! You guys are my friends so I don't mind at all. It would be nice if you'd tell me the plan ahead of time though."

"Actually, we just planned this thing this morning so don't blame it on us." Jazz answered.

"Start counting belly, we'll be there in 30 minutes, since I'm driving. Take care of your ass now kay? Mwah mwah!" I laughed at the last part that Em added.

"Will do Em. Cya guys soon." I said.

"Cyaaaa!" they all shouted and I hanged up.

I looked up at Edward and smiled. "My old friends are coming over in a while. So yea." I announced.

"That's cool.. Um.. Grace and the others are also coming over in a few minutes with my dad. Is that alright with you? Gracey's impulsive so I'm sorry." he said while scratching the back of his head apologetically.

"Oh, no. That's fine. It'd be fun to let my friends meet you guys so that's no problem and I guess this house is big enough to handle everyone." I smiled and to my utter embarrassment, my stomach grumbled loudly. My eyes went wide from the loudness of the sound and I swear, my cheeks went red.

Edward just chuckled. "I'll make you some breakfast. You don't mind me going through your kitchen right?"

"No, no. I think I could handle making my own breakfast, you don't have to bother." I said, sitting up quickly, which caused everything around me to spin around endlessly. I groaned and fell back on my pillows. I swear, I was just fine when I was talking to the guys a while ago.

"Whoa there." I heard him say, settling my pillows below me while his other hand held my head carefully. God, he smells soooo GOOD! Shut up! Issa! Focus! I groaned again and I think he mistook that as me being in pain. "See? Now just rest while I make you some soup. Don't try to follow me, I'll just carry you back." he threatened, settling my head in the pile of pillows. I pouted and nodded anyway. I closed my eyes and heard the door opening and closing.

A part of me is happy cause Edward is actually cooking for me and a part of me feels bad for making him do this, but all in all, I'm happy that he's here with me, though it sucks cause I look horrible today. Just my luck.

"Ouch! Move it!" I heard someone grumbled in what I assume was a whisper.

"Shh! You'll wake her up!" I heard another voice whisper loudly. If this is what they think is whispering, their terribly wrong.

"BELLY BUTTON WE'RE HERE!" A loud booming sound came after the door was opened and a multiple hushing sound followed after.

I turned and groaned loudly as the pounding on my head came rushing in. I opened my eyes and squinted at the light, blinked a couple of times and found familiar faces surrounding me.

"Oh God." I groaned out loud. "I thought you said a few minutes." Grace smiled at me and nudged Edward.

"We arrived right when Eddie was fixing something in the kitchen. It smelled delish and I thought that I could help and found out that you were dead asleep." Grace said. She was sitting on the bed the closest to me and helped me sit up.

"You must be Grace. Nice to meet you. I'm Alice, this is Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Stefan."

I rolled my eyes. "Great, you visit your best friend and you don't even say hi to her first. By the way, great intro Em." I grumbled as I was fixing my shirt. I looked up and found my old gang. Alice's black, shoulder length pointy hair still intact, a wide grin on her face. She was the smallest, petite, wearing a simple v-neck grey long sleeved shirt and black tights and either boots or doll shoes.

"How are you sugar?" Rose asked, going towards me for a hug. She hasn't changed one bit. Blonde hair flowing into soft curls by her waist, her blue eyes wide and soft. She looked good in her pink shirt. From the corner of my eyes I spotted Zac, Joey and Edward gawking. Wouldn't blame them. Rose has a supermodel's body, with just a little more meat in her.

"Let me make the introductions and get along good okay?" they nodded and I went on. "This is Edward Masen, Grace Cullen, and Zac and Joey Clearwater. Twins." I said as I gestured to each one of them. "And this are my good friends from Arizona." I flashed a grin towards them and continued. "Mary Alice Brandon, call her Alice or she'll kill you if you call her Mary - Ouch!" I winced when I felt someone pinch me.

"Couldn't you have left Mary out?" she hissed and I rolled my eyes. She hates being called Mary, God knows why. She gets this huge bitch fit whenever someone calls her that.

"Moving on." I shot my eyes at her in a just-let-it-go kinda way and went on. "Rosalie Lilian Hale and Jasper Whitlock Hale. Twins too. Emmett McCarty and Stefan Simmons." I turned and smiled fondly at the 3 guys who has been really great. Jasper, was standing lean and tall right beside Alice, his blonde hair long enough that he tucked it behind his ear, a smile on his lips while his blue eyes sparkled with amusement. Emmett on the other hand was looking over my shelves, his black hair cropped short, still buff and muscular. And finally, my eyes landed on Stefan. His black hair was cropped short too, but not as short as Em's, his brown eyes met mine and we exchanged a grin. Still tan with the average muscle that you could be underneath his sleeve.

"I'm Zac, the natural blonde and this is Joey, the mixed breed." Zac said, nodding his head towards his brother who was scowling at him, which he totally ignored. A giggle came from Alice and Grace while Rose just rolled her eyes.

"Mix breed? Yea, says the one with a low IQ." Joey countered, a satisfied smile appeared on his face when Zac glared at him and Grace intervened just when Zac was about to say something.

"So nice to meet you guys. Bella's a really cool and sweet girl and I hope we'd get along well." he cheery personality lifting the tension between Zac and Joey.

"Bella?" Rose asked in confusion, saying the name as if it's foreign.

"Oh. Right. They call me Bella here, cause that's the name I said that they could call me." I clarified, observing how their expression changed at the explanation. "By the way Edward, when is your dad coming?" I asked.

He turned his gaze from Rose to me and I have to admit, I felt a pang of jealousy there. "He went back to the hospital about 10 minutes before you woke up."

Well that's just great. I was probably drooling when his dad came. "Oh." came my short reply.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Stefan stealing quick glances at Grace who was being hovered over by both Zac and Joey, amusement written all over her face while she listened to whatever the twins were saying. I bit back a knowing smile. Somebody's got a crush.

"So Issa. You know what we're gonna do. Slumber party. Gossip. Shopping." Alice was laying down beside me casually as if I wasn't sick at all. "Oh my God! You do have a mall here right?" Alice practically shrieked and I winced at the sound of her voice being so near to my ear while her question was aimed to Grace.

Grace smiled politely and nodded her head excitedly. "I wouldn't be able to survive without a mall around.."

"I thought you said you wouldn't be able to live without me?" Zac and Joey said at the same time and Grace shoved their head to the side gently and walked towards my bed where Alice and me were laying and went on as if she the twins didn't say anything.

".. We should totally hang out with Sor and Shay, but just bear with Shay cause she's not exactly the shopping type," she rolled her eyes at no one in particular, "but that girl has the most fabulous taste!" she then took out her phone and began to click the buttons rapidly. "You don't mind them coming over do you Bella?" she paused on whatever she was doing and looked down at me. Then added in before I could nod. "I promise, their good." and that earned a scoff from the twins and Edward. Grace glared at the three of them and that had them quiet.

"We are so gonna get along well!" Rose squealed, linking her arm around Grace's arm and Grace smiled widely at her. "Go ahead and let them come here. We don't mind."

My brows quirked.

"Two more ladies? Let's have em!" Emmett boomed, Rose turned her head toward him. "Love you." he added quickly.

"Go on Grace. We don't mind." Alice chirped.

"Go ahead Grace." I said, nudging Alice.

"Great!" Grace squealed and went back to composing her message. "They'll skip class. No big." she snapped her phone shut and tucked it in the pocket of her faded skinny jeans.

Oh crap. I totally forgot that Grace and the others are supposed to be in class today.

As if reading my mind, Grace smiled at me reassuringly. "Hey, don't worry about it. It's just one day." she shrugged her shoulders and I nodded hesitantly. "And they'll be here in a couple of minutes, if anything, Shay drives like a total maniac."

Conversations went on and on. I'm really happy that they all got along well. Nobody seemed to be glaring at someone. Emmett, Jazz, Stef, Edward, Zac and Joey were huddled up on the floor, seeming really caught up in their conversation, while Al, Rose, Grace and me were just on the bed, laughing about anything and everything. Rose was asking if the twins like her and she answered with a humble shrug of her shoulder which got us rolling her eyes at her and her squirming out a reply. Not soon after, the doorbell rang and Grace's face lit up when she read something from her phone.

"Hello?" I cheerful voice called from downstairs.
