Yup, it's me again! :D Here's an update, I kind of hope has been long awaited (yes I'm shallow like that, and I like it :P) Lol, I hope you'll read it! :D
DISCLAIMER: I doubt SM posted her books chapter for chapter online... And as this is very much not Twilight, but a spin-off from it, I guess we kan equal that to the fact that I am not Steph. Meyer :)
Previously: "Jeez Bella, I know it's gross, I saw you yesterday, didn't I?" She teased and I blushed slightly. Rose and Angela laughed at our bickering, and soon Alice joined in. The laughter was contagious, and soon I ended up laughing too.
And I just knew that bringing Angela home was not a mistake; she would fit right in with us.
The time in the car flew by, and soon we arrived at the house. Angela's mouth stood open as she saw the house – or I guess, mansion – that I lived in.
"Wow" she whispered.
"You like it?" I asked her. I really wanted her to like it; I wanted her to be here often. Yeah, I know it was selfish, but I just wanted there to be one I could share everything with, one who wouldn't be afraid of coming home with me, just because my family were vampires.
"Yes very much. It's beautiful." She was still in a state of disbelief mixed in with awe. I could practically hear Esme beam from inside.
"Come on in then, my parents and siblings are all excited to meet you." She smiled nervously at me, but I just gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
Angela's head were looking around in the front garden that was carefully made by Esme. Exotic flowers danced with the wind in a beautiful circle around the meadow, in which our house lied. Every 6 feet or so, there was a slight gab, so they wouldn't have to step through them, when they went hunting.
We reached the porch, and the door flew open. Esme stood in it, and my heart swelled with love as I saw her. Man, I was feeling sentimental today.
She beamed at us, and pulled Angela into a careful hug, just like she always did.
"Hello Angela. Welcome to our home. I'm Esme, Bella's mother in all ways but blood." She told her. I could see Angela relax into Esme's embrace.
"Hello Mrs. Cullen. You have a beautiful home." She said when Esme released her.
"Angela, call me Esme. All that 'Mrs.' makes me feel old." She joked and I could barely contain my laughter. If Angela only knew how old she was, she would see the joke too.
"Will do, Esme" Angela smiled shyly, which Esme beamed at. Yeah, Esme already loved Angela, you could see it.
I tugged Angela inside, eager for her to meet the rest.
"Jazz! Em! Dad? Edward! Come meet my friend!" I sang as I walked into the living room.
They came out from wherever they were before, to meet Angela.
I knew Angela must be feeling a little overwhelmed when they all came in and looked like supermodels, only better, but she kept it in nicely. I sprung over and hugged Carlisle.
"Hey Dad. Had a good day?" I asked him. He nodded at me, and smiled.
"Come, I want you to meet Angela." I had placed Angela in the couch, and dragged Carlisle along.
"Dad, this is Angela, Angela this is my father Carlisle." I introduced. Angela shyly stuck out her hand, but Carlisle hugged her, just like Esme had.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I don't think Bella has talked about anything but you, since she came home yesterday!" Angela chuckled slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Dr. Cullen." She said shyly, once she was seated again.
"Please, call me Carlisle." Carlisle smiled at Angela as she nodded.
"Bells, don't I get to meet your friend?" Emmett asked, almost as excited to meet Angela as I was to have her with me home. Angela took in his enormous frame and blinked once. I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Sure Em. Angela, this is the rest of the family. Edward, Jasper and Emmett. You already know Alice and Rosalie." I told her as I pointed them out.
"It's nice to meet you." Angela was suddenly blushing slightly. Emmett's booming laughter filled the room.
"That wasn't even a proper greeting Bells." He told me as he stood up, and swept Angela into his signature bear-hug. He swung her around and even though Angela was surprised, she couldn't help the laugh that followed with being swung around by Em.
As he put her down, she swayed slightly on her feet and sat down.
I could see Rosalie roll her eyes at Emmett, and Alice just smiling hugely.
"Who's hungry?" It came from the kitchen. Esme walked out with plates in her hands, both filled with food that smelled divine. It made my mouth water.
As if on cue, my stomach started growling, and we all laughed.
"We ate in school, so we're good." Alice said as Angela and I dug in. I ate everything and a portion more and I could see Angela looking at me weirdly.
"Wha? I'm hungry!" I got out with my mouth full of food.
"Nothing, but I think I now understand what you meant with not having to worry about you." I grinned and ate some more food.
When we were done, Angela was about to take out her plate.
"No no, I'll have that dear, don't worry about it." Esme said.
"Uh thanks. And thank you for food, it was really delicious." Angela told her. Esme smiled, and disappeared into the kitchen.
"So, I'll give you the grand tour?" I asked her. She nodded and I went around the house telling her stories and showing her where my room was and so on.
"Here's my room." I told her and stepped aside. She took in the wardrobe and her eyes bugged out.
"Wow Bells, how much clothes do you have?" I smiled.
"I live with Alice" was my only reply. She seemed to get it though, because she just nodded and chuckled.
We proceeded to sit down on my bed and talk about how everything went down after I "got lost in the woods". She told me how Ms. Kim had gotten worried and how they had gone out to search for me. She told me that my biological father had been in a state of shock, and had not been able to participate in the search. She told me how the Chief had told my dad, and as words spread fast in the small town; everybody knew that he had cried. I didn't believe that, one bit. If they only knew what had really been going down, nobody would have taken him seriously.
I was close to telling her, but I didn't want to upset her. I would tell her when I was ready, and not because she had it wrong.
"Let's play some videogames." I told her, and we went to the living room.
We played many different games: dance games, Wii, Mario Kart, and I even tried to teach her Guitar Hero.
Emmett came in and watched us, and eventually he wanted to join.
"Can I join? Please? Please? Please?" He begged. I laughed at him, and told Angela to watch me kick his butt in Guitar Hero.
"Ha! I told you, you couldn't win!" I taunted Emmett. He pouted and I could hear Ang snickering behind me.
"Ooooh Beeeeelllaaaaa!" Alice sang. I knew that voice. It meant trouble.
"Quick Angela, hide!" I rushed out and frantically searched for a place to hide. Emmett was laughing at me, but I couldn't it in me to be mad at him at the moment. I had to get away from the she-devil.
"Why?" She was looked at me like she was about to laugh.
"The Evil Pixie wants to give us make-overs and do our hair and stuff. It's torture!" She laughed as I dove down under a bed. She crawled in next to me, and we lay there silently. I knew Ali would find us, but I still liked the illusion it gave me.
It was pointless. She found us. I sighed as I with slumped shoulders followed her into her room. Rose was in there, reading a magazine.
"Mom took the boys out shopping, and Dad went back to the hospital. He got paged. We got the house all to ourselves." She said and looked up. Putting away the magazine, she told us it was girl-bonding time, and we what we would be doing.
I had to admit it was fun. We did each other's hair and nails, and we talked about, well, everything.
"Ooh, Bella, tell Angela who you like" I glared at Rose. A light blush spread across my cheeks.
"Yeah Bells, do tell" Ali was quick to join in. I glared at her as well. Angela just looked at me curiously. Sighing I looked down.
"Fine. I kinda like Edward." I mumbled. Angela didn't look disgusted as I thought she would.
"Cool. He is a good-looking guy." She told me. I blinked at her.
"What? He is!" And with that we all laughed and continued our day.
The guys got home, and I hoped to God that Angela wasn't thinking about my little secret. We were watching The Notebook, and we were crying. The film is so sad, yet it's so great. I love it.
When Angela had to go home, I asked Jasper if he could drive us.
"Sure" he said and we drove back into town. Jasper, being an Empath and all, didn't drive as fast as the rest of the family would have done. He could feel whatever fear there might have been in Angela, and drove at the speed limit. I knew he was irritated, but I was grateful that he did. Reading my emotions, he just smiled at me.
The car ride home was filled with mindless chitter-chatter but when we reached Angela's home, I was sad. I didn't want the day to end; I had just gotten back my best friend.
"I'll see ya tomorrow Angela. I have to go home and make that stupid essay." She grinned at me, and we hugged one last time.
"Thanks for today Bella; it was the best girl-time I've had in a long, long time." I beamed at her, and she made her way into her house.
Nice chapter? :O Please tell me! Please? :D
