Finally It's Summer

It was finally summer which meant next year is my last in that hell hole called high school. Then I will be off to college hopefully. Since its summer that means its time for our annual trip. Every summer Carlisle and I go away for two weeks. I always look forward to these trips. I am especially looking forward to this one since we haven't spent anytime together the past few weeks. He has been busy with Esme and the goons.

We decided to go to Hawaii this year. I can't wait we leave in 4 days. My parents took me shopping yesterday for the stuff I will need. Our doorbell rang then a few minutes later I hear my mom yell "Bella, Carlisle is here to see you." I walk down to see the love of my life/best friend standing there with a grim expression. I have been seeing that look a lot lately. "Hey Bella can we go out back and talk." I lead him to our backyard. We sit in a couple of chairs.

I look at him and notice him trying to find the perfect way to state what he has to say. "Just spit it out Carlisle." He sighs "Bells, Esme's family invited me to their vacation home in Hawaii. We can still hang out and stuff. I just wont be staying at the hotel with you, that's all." I could feel the tears but I held them in. "Its fine Carlisle go have fun with your girlfriend. Don't worry about me I will be just fine." I ran up the stairs to my room.

As soon as my door closed the tears fell down. Well there goes my summer. Carlisle tried to call but I ignored his calls. I was slowly losing my best friend. I didn't leave my room since he left. I heard a knock on my door. "Bella can I come in." It was my dad Charlie Swan. He was the Chief of Police here in Forks. "Sure dad." He came in and sat down on my bed. "So what's wrong kiddo?" Out of my parents I was closest to my dad. My mom was always busy with her business. She was a wedding planner. She got business coming from everywhere even celebrities. She was great at her job.

"I feel like I'm losing Carlisle. He is staying with Esme at their vacation home in Hawaii. Dad that trip was supposed to be for us, me and him. I figured it would be good since I haven't been seeing him on our Saturdays like usual." The tears came back again. "Oh baby girl come here." I got on my dad's lap and put my head on his shoulder while he rocked me back and forth until I stopped crying. What can I say I'm daddy's little girl.

"He wiped away my tears before he spoke "baby girl I am sure you haven't lost Carlisle. You two have been friends for too long and I can't see him letting some girl come between the two of you. But if you feel strongly about this then maybe you should talk to him about and let him know how you feel. Keeping it inside Bells is not a good idea. I love you baby girl." He kissed me then sat me on my bed before he got up to leave. "Thanks. I love you too daddy." He smiled before he left my room.

He was right I did have to talk to Carlisle about this. I grabbed my phone and sent him a text asking if he would come by so we could talk. He replied he would be by in a few minutes. When I heard the doorbell I made my way down the stairs. I saw him standing there. I took a deep breathe before I led him outside. We sat in silence for a while not knowing who should speak first. "Bella I'm sorry. I should have said no." I sighed. "Carlisle it's not that well it does have something to do with it but for the past couple of months I felt like I'm losing my best friend. When was the last time we have even had one of our normal Saturdays or the last time we actually talked to one another. Ever since you got together with Esme I haven't really seen my best friend. I'm losing you and I fell like there is nothing I can do about it" the tears were falling but this time I didn't try to hide them. Carlisle came and wrapped me up in his arms.

"Bells I didn't know you felt this way. You are not losing me. We have been best friends since we were in our diapers. I guess I have been a little wrapped up in Esme but I promise you it is all going to change. I will decline the offer to stay at the vacation home. We are going to have a blast in Hawaii, watch and see." He kissed my cheek. "I believe you Carlisle" I smiled a true smile. We stayed like that for a while just talking. He left to go tell Esme the change of plans. I have Carlisle back.

5 days later

We have been in Hawaii for a day so far. Carlisle has kept his promise so far. We have been hanging out all day. Esme and her goons are here but so far the have stayed away.

A few days later

I should have known it was too good to be true. Now the only time I see Carlisle is in the morning before one of the goons come to get him or at night before I go to bed. So far this trip has been a waste of time. Right now I was sitting on some rocks staring out into the water. This has been my place to come since I had nothing else to do. We still have over a week to go.

"Why the sad face beautiful?" a guy with dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes said besides me. "Are you talking to me?" I asked dumbly as I openly ogled the man. He chuckled softly "There is no one else here beautiful." He came and sat next to me. I could feel my cheeks burning up from embarrassment. "So care to tell me why a beautiful girl as you is sitting here all alone." I looked around to see if the goons were anywhere close by because this had to be some sort of trick. No one and I mean no one has called me beautiful before.

"Why are you talking to me?" I had to know if it was some kind of sick joke. "Well I saw you sitting here and I thought to myself that I should come talk to this beautiful girl so here I am" I could see the truth in his beautiful blue eyes. I ended up telling him about Carlisle and how he hasn't been around I also told him about ice bitch and her goons. I don't know why but I felt comfortable around him like I could trust him. "Well beautiful it's his lost and my gain. So what's your name?" I smiled "Bella and yours?" he smiled back "The name fits you. I am James. It's a pleasure to meet you beautiful. So how about I take you out to eat and get to know you more." I blushed before nodding.

He held out his hand which I took. Over the next couple of hours I got to know James. He was going into his senior year. Him and two of his friends decided to take one last vacation together because he was moving since his dad got a job offer he couldn't pass up. He didn't know where yet. When I started to get tired he walked me up to my room. "I had fun beautiful. I will see you tomorrow. Goodnight" he kissed my hand. "Night James" I waved by before I went into my room. I changed before getting into bed. I thought about my day. I grabbed my journal; I had to write about this day.

James was about 6'4 muscular thanks to the sports he played. He was fun, charming, and very attractive. So I wonder why he talked to me, plain old Bella. Plus he kept calling me beautiful, it had to be some kind of joke or something. But he seemed like he actually liked me. I mean he didn't seem like he had an agenda. I guess we will have to wait and see. I hope he is a good guy because I really needed someone in my life since Carlisle is slowly fading away. Sleep came quickly for me that night.

It was the last day of my vacation and here I am at the same spot I met James. Over the past week I hung out with him getting to know one another better. He made this trip enjoyable for me. "So beautiful today is our last day together" I was sad to say goodbye to James. He became my confidant, my friend over these last two weeks. "I'm going to miss you" I wanted to cry but I held it in. "We will see each other again. I promise" he leaned over and gave me a kiss on the lips. It was sweet plus it was my first kiss. We sat in silence of the day just watching the sunset.

He walked me back to my room. "Keep in touch beautiful. I will see you again. Bye Bella" he gave me another tender kiss on the lips. "Bye James" I watched him go. I wish I knew then that I will be seeing him soon.

The next day Carlisle tried to talk to me but I ignored him like he did all vacation. My heart broke knowing I lost my best friend and the love of my life. At least I have James.
