Oh my gosh. I am SO sorry for not updating. I've been busy with school, tech crew, and a bunch of tests lately D8 Admittedly, it took me a little bit to come up with an idea for this chapter, so here ya go!

P.S. – I forgot the disclaimer for the last few chapters, so now I'm putting it in xD NO I don't own the characters; just the plot. No touchy my plot.

1st Grade

Yay! A fun first day. Not like the first day last year. I was glad that Edward and Alice were in my class today. I don't know what I'd do without them.

But now I have to take the bus home. Daddy couldn't pick me up, so he said to ride the bus when he couldn't. Alice and was going to Edward's house since she and his sister Rosalie were really good friends, and Edward offered me a ride, but I really didn't want to make them go by my house. Rosalie and I don't get along very well, also.

How long did I have to sit on the bus? The route was taking forever. Probably because there were only five buses for all of forks …. I didn't like being one of the last few on the bus. Most people just ignored me at the beginning, and I was left by myself as more and more people had gotten off.

Finally the bus stopped at my house. It was drizzling out, like it always is. I got the key out of my backpack and unlocked the door. It was easy to see that Daddy wasn't home yet. Since I wasn't really hungry right then, I decided to go watch tv.

About an hour later, Daddy walked in the door. He looked really sad, and I didn't know why. He just put his hat on the hook, hung his coat and belt up beside it, and went to go make some sandwiches for dinner.

We were silent the whole way through dinner. I got up and put my plate in the kitchen sink, and started walking back towards the living room.

"Bella, wait a minute. There's something you need to know." Daddy was looking down at his plate with a sad face.

"My mother, your granny, she died this morning. She was sick for a really long time with cancer, and she got tired of fighting it." Daddy looked up at me then.

Granny was dead? But she couldn't be! I had just visited her that summer. No, she had to be hiding or something.

"Bella …" Daddy got up and came towards me. "I'm sorry honey. I know you two got really close this summer."

I ran up to my room and shut the door. Maybe if the door stayed locked, then no bad things could get in, and Granny would come back!

I stayed in my room all night, and all morning. Alice stayed at the Cullen's for the night or something, and Daddy tried to get me to go to school, but I couldn't leave my room. Granny wouldn't come back if I left. So I read all day.

Around 4 P.M., I heard a car outside. It was too early for Daddy to be home. I peeked out my window and saw a black car. It looked like Mr. Cullen's. The door opened downstairs, and I heard footsteps coming up towards my room.

"Bella?" It was Mrs. Cullen. "Bella, are you in there?" I couldn't help it, I sniffed. Loudly. "Bella, do you mind if we stayed her for a while? Charlie said he had to stay late at work. Alice is staying over at our house with Rosalie and Carlisle till after supper."

I didn't say a word. I still couldn't open up my door. Mrs. Cullen sighed and I heard her walk back downstairs.

"Bella? Can I come in?" It was Edward! I hadn't seen him all day. I jumped across my room and threw open the door. I froze as soon as I did that. Now Granny wouldn't come back! A few tears came out and started going down my face. Edward came up and gave me a hug, and took me back to the bed where we sat on the edge. We just sat there for a while.

"Bella, I'm sorry about her." He gave me a tight squeeze and looked at me. I just sniffed.

"It isn't your fault Edward. It's mine! If I had left the door closed, she would have come back and stayed. But I forgot! And now she won't come back." New tears went down my face. Edward just hugged me tighter.

"Bella, it isn't your fault. Things like this just happen, and it isn't anyone's fault. You know what though? She'll always be a part of you. And you can think of her whenever you want, and you won't have to miss her!" Edward had one arm around my shoulders and gave me his crooked grin.

"Do you really think it was an accident that she left?" I sniffed when I said that.

"Of course it was! It was NOT your fault. And you know, I'm always here. You'll never lose me, Bella!" He grinned again and pulled me off the bed. "Come on! My mom is making spaghetti!"

I couldn't help but grin at him. We ran off down the stairs, and headed towards the spaghetti, Edward looking happy, and me? I was just glad that maybe Granny didn't think it was my fault, wherever she was. Maybe.

Ok, before you say it, I know, not my best chapter. More of a filler than a chapter; short, sweet, to the point. Like I said, I had trouble coming up with an idea for this one, so I pulled the main problem from my first grade xD

Review please!
