Ok so it took me a while to write this. I've been pretty busy. Here's the second chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters

I hadn't gone far when I heard them calling after me. "Angela! Ang! Where are you?" I didn't answer though, I didn't really want to talk to them right then. I knew they were getting close, and soon they would be able to see me. I quickly walked off the path into a thicket, and lay down. I could see them, but they couldn't see me. A minute or so later I heard a cell phone ring. "Hello?" I was Alice's phone. "Oh ok. We're just hiking around, I'll be there soon. Wait, hang on a sec. Bella what are we gonna do?" She must of covered up the mouth piece. "We haven't found Angela yet. We can't just leave her out here."

"Why don't you go." Said Bella. "Just tell them we decided to stay and hike more. I'll find her."

"Mom? Yeah, I'm coming. Can you tell Angela's mom her and Bells are staying to hike a little longer? I'll be fine, we aren't that far out, I can find my way back. Okay, then talk to me while I walk. Yeah I had lots of fun-" I heard her voice fade away as she started back. I heard twigs snap and whirled my head around. Bella was making her way through the thicket. I spun around and started running, I had made sure there was a clear path where I could get out near by. One of the key things when hiding in a thicket. I kept running down the path, it was soft, springy soil, covered in pine needles, so it didn't make much noise. I could hear Bella still struggling through the thicket. I didn't want her to find me, not yet. I ran and ran not really paying attention to where I was going. I was mad, but more hurt. Tears started streaming down my face. I ran and I cried until I couldn't any more. I looked around at where I was. I was at the Path leading to Look-Out Point. A high steep hill, with a beautiful view. Once I got to the top I sat on a tree that grew on the edge of the cliff. The wind and rain had eroded away the soil, so some of the roots were above ground, making a perfect spot to sit. I sat and thought. I thought about what to do next. What to do when Bella found me, it was only a matter of time. As if on cue I heard her foot steps. She sat down beside me and neither of us said anything for a while. Finally she broke the silence. "Nothings going to change. You know that right?" I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the tree. I knew it was going to be hard, but those words hurt, yet frustrated me, so much. "Why not?" I said with my eyes still closed. "Why can't it?" I opened my eyes and looked at her.

She looked out over the cliff. "Because, things will never be the same between us."

"Why? Why won't they be the same? What's stopping you?"

"To much has happened and we've changed."

"Only because you've let it! And everyone changes! I've noticed the change to, but you wanna know what? I don't care, because she's my best friend and I love her just how she is."

"Yeah, but she's changed too much. It won't work." I looked at her again.

"Why won't it work? You haven't tried!"

"Just because. I know." we sat in silence again. I looked up at the leaves of the tree.

"I used to be jealous of you, you know that? You and Alice were so close, you were joined at the hip. At each others houses almost everyday. Never getting tired of each other, and I thought, if they ever got into a fight, they would make up. Because they are too close to let something come between them. But I guess I was wrong."

"But it's not that simple. There's more to it. We've changed." I threw up my hands.

"That's all I get from you! 'We've changed too much' 'Because' 'It's complicated' 'It just won't work'. You never give me a straight answer! Even when I share something that's real private with you, like I just did. It's always the same. If you haven't noticed I don't tell others how I feel that often, I deal with it and live my life."

"But you and I have never had problems! Maybe me and Alice aren't supposed to be friends! Maybe that was a sign! Us splitting up." I stood up and looked at her.

"No, that's not true. We have had problems. I just haven't said anything. Like I said, I deal with it, and you know what? I should 'cause everyone is different and everyone has their quirks. And friendship is learning to see beyond those quirks and loving the person anyway. Even when those quirks drive you nuts." Bella was quiet for a minute.

"What problems have you had with me?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"The biggest one? This, you and Alice. But there's other things. How you say some thing is "your's" like "your" word and say no one else can use it 'cause it's "your" word. Well guess what, it's a free country and I have the freedom of speech. Plus you didn't' make up that word, some one else did so you have no claim on it. And you call things gay when you know nothing about them. And act like you don't want me around, but don't say it. If you don't want me to come over, say it!" I took a deep breath, saying these things wasn't easy for me. "And like I said I deal with your quirks and choose to ignore them, but you seem to like to point mine out. I don't' say anything because I want you to be happy and not hurt you." I was facing the forest now, knowing if I looked at her I wouldn't be able to say what I needed to. I didn't hear anything from behind me. I let out a deep breath letting my anger and frustration flow away, yet I still felt that small ever present hurt. "We should head back. The party will be over soon." I heard Bella get up and we started walking back. Would this change anything? I don't know. But for now I'll put on another happy face and act like every thing's okay.

I'm the girl:

Who feels her friends, come before herself.

Who tries to make everyone else happy, but doesn't take her own advice.

Who tries to hide what's bothering her, and fix everything on her own.

But without help, Fails.

I'm just a girl, that can only do so much

As you can see I'll probably put a quote, song lyrics or something, at the end of each chapter. Always in bold so you know it's not part of the story. It will also probably go along with what went on in the chapter.

Please Review!
