The Things That Make Me Happy

Chapter Six

Lunch with Angela

I made my way into a little diner in Port Angeles. Yesterday was a long painful day and I needed someone to talk to. I couldn't believe Edward coming into my home and telling me what to do like I'm a child in trouble. I'm really mad at him and I don't know what to do about him. Should I let him get to know Leila or not. They both have-"

"BELLA! OVER HERE!" someone shouted I looked off to my right and seen my friend Angela Webber. I smiled and made my way over to her.

"Hey Ang" I greeted her as I sat down "How have you been?"

"I've been good. I've been busy lately" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion she noticed and elaborated "I'm engaged!" she said while she show me her ring

"oh my god Angela that's awesome!" I squealed. Wow my daughter is rubbing off on me.

"I know Ben finally asked me we've been dating forever it seems like." she stated

"I'm so excited for you. When's the wedding?"

"November-" she started but got interrupted by the waitress coming over

"Hi my names Ashley and I'll be your waitress today what can I get for you?"

Angela was still looking at the menu so I ordered first "I'll have a BLT with a coke to drink" she wrote that down on her notepad

"Fries or Onion rings?"

"Fries please" she nodded and wrote that down and turned to Angela

"What about you?"

"I'll have a Cesar salad with water to drink" Angela said while handing her our menus. She said it would be fifteen minutes then walked away.

"So.." I began "the Cullen's are back" I said with no enthusiasm

"you're not happy about that?" Angela questioned

"Nope. He basically told me that he doesn't want me hanging out with anybody from the reservation. He found out that Leila and I hang out around Leah and Seth and he blew up at me."

Angela scoffed "yeah because he can tell you what to do" she said sarcastically "He's the one that left you and Leila. Even though he didn't know about Leila. He didn't stick around to find out."

"he said he still loves me but I don't believe him he just probably said that because of Leila. I had to tell him about Leila being his." she stared at me wide eyed I sighed "I didn't have a choice Ang he would have bugged me till I did anyways."

"I know I'm sorry. Did he tell you he loves you after he found out about Leila" I nodded "that's probably why" I nodded again

"I know" the waitress came out and gave us our food and told us to enjoy. I took a fry and started eating it.

"so what are you going to do?" Ang asked while taking a bite of salad.

I chewed and swallowed before I answered "I don't know I really don't know. I talked to Kara last night and she told me to be careful. To not let him in fully. I don't want to let him in at all. What if he gets to know Leila and then he leaves again. She wouldn't be able to take that." I said and quietly added "she'd be heartbroken. He promised me once before that he wouldn't leave and he did. I..I really can't trust him"

"I understand Bella. I really do. He doesn't deserve to be a part of yours or Leila's life." she said seriously.

"Thanks Ang. God I really miss spending time with you." she nodded in agreement "we should get together once a week and catch up. How's that sound?" she squealed.

"That sounds wonderful." I chuckled at her excitement. We finished our food and talked about various subjects. She asked how Leila was and how everything is going. She told me about the wedding and how she needs to find a job again since she got laid off.

"hey Ang. Leah and I are going to open up a bakery. You could go into business with us. If you want too. I know Leah wouldn't mind." I told her getting excited. She looked excited also

"that would be awesome." I told her mine and Leah's plans for going back to college to get business degree. We agreed that Angela, Leah and I would get together for lunch next week and talk about the bakery.

After we finished making plans I left and headed home.
