Hey everyone! I'm updating (finally) but this chapter is kinda short. I promise I'm working on the next chapter, but I don't really have any motivation right now. If you review, though, that might change! I'm trying so hard to update all my stories and read other fanfics, but it's just resulting in getting me royally confused. So, I'm going to try and focus on this story and only read….okay never mind the reading part. I'm going to read just as much. I read a lot. So, if you have any fanfics to suggest, I suggest you suggest them now! (That just sounded like a really strange version of a Dr. Seuss book, but whatever) okay. I'm stopping my rant now and you can read (and then review!)

The rest of the week passed quickly. Renee and Phil took Edward and I sightseeing and we took a few trips to the beach. (At night, of course.) But the rime came for Edward and I to return to Forks—to home.

"Do you think that since I got so much stuff here that Alice might lighten up on the shopping for a while?" I asked Edward as I packed all of my new clothes into a brand new suitcase.

"I highly doubt it." Edward said. "There's never a reason not to go shopping according to her." I groaned.

"When will it end?" Edward grinned.

"I can ask her to ease up on you for a little while." He said.

"Really?" he nodded. My outlook brightened considerably.

"I had a great time, Mom. Thanks for letting us come." We were in the airport, about to go through security.

"No problem, Bell. You can come down whenever you want. You too, Edward." Renee said, giving Edward a hug.

"Thanks for letting me stay." He said.

"It's no problem. Bye!" she called as we walked away.

"Bye Mom! I love you!" I said.

"Love you too, Bella!" I heard her call as she disappeared from view.

I loved my mom, but I was ready to go back to Forks. I sighed, resting my head on Edward's shoulder once we boarded.

"That was fun." I said to him, "Thanks for thinking of it, Edward."

"Anything for you, Bella."

The plane ride seemed longer than it probably was. Thankfully, Edward had thought to bring the CD we had made and a CD player he bought. We listened to it during the last half of the plane ride—when I started to fidget.

Edward held my hand, rubbing it in soothing circles, and hummed along to the music. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew a cool hand was touching my face and the voice of an angel was telling me to wake up.

"Bella, wake up. It's almost time to land."

"Did I fall asleep?" I asked, opening my eyes.

"Yes." He said with a smirk. I sighed. Edward seemed to think all my human tendencies were funny.

Soon, we were in the parking lot, with all of our stuff. Edward's car sat in the long-term parking lot under the gray clouds of Seattle, Washington. It seemed like so long ago that we had left.

Edward put out bags in the trunk and got into the driver's seat. I was already waiting in the passenger's side. Before we left, he pulled a CD out of the compartment in the dashboard and fed it into the slot. A smooth, calming melody flowed out of the speakers.

"Mmmm…" I breathed, exhausted from the trip.

"Are you still tired?" he asked. I nodded, too tired to speak. He turned the music down a notch. "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get to your house."

"Promise?" I asked, my eyes already closing.

"Promise." He said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up on Edward's couch.

"Edward?" I asked, confused.

"Right here, love." He said, appearing next to me.

"I thought you said you would wake me up when we got to my house." He looked apologetic.

"I called Charlie before we got there, to let him know we were coming, but he didn't answer the phone. So I called the station. One of his deputies said he went for a week-long fishing trip, somewhere north of here. So, I brought you here." He grinned, looking like a child who expected praise from a teacher.

"Thank you." I said. His grin brightened. "So what are we going to do today?" I asked, truly curious.

"Well, Carlisle's working and Emmett and Rosalie went to go shopping, so I figured we'd just hang out here."

"Sounds good to me." I said. There was always something fun to do at the Cullen's house.

I looked out the wall-sized window the extended over the back of the entire house. The silvery-gray clouds cast a shadow over the yard, making it more beautiful instead of dulling its perfection.

"It feels good to be home." I said.

Hello! I know it's short, but the next one is way longer, so just deal. It may not be up for a while, but I may post it tomorrow, so there really is no telling when it will get posted. So go review!

Oh, wait. Some people (okay one people) were (was) wondering what the song was that Bella didn't know. At first I was thinking of making it a Linkin Park song, but I am currently obsessed with "I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance. So that will be the song. I know it may not be as well known as the song in the story was made out to be, but it's a sort of foreshadowing for New Moon. Kind of.

Now that that's over………..REVIEW!!!!!
