Stimulus: Shopping (Which I have been doing all day… ugh!)

POV: Angela

Dedication: Angela; good luck with the series!

"Angela? Phone for you."

I looked up from my lunch hopefully; maybe Bella had decided to talk to me again? I took the phone and sighed when Jessica's voice filtered through the tinny speakers. Aw, well- she'd come round eventually.

"Hi, Jess."

"Do you want to come shopping with me and Lauren tomorrow? We're heading over to Port Angeles."

"Great!" I smiled. I was in the middle of revising: shopping was the exact thing I needed to cheer me up. If only Bella would come… I froze; if Bella wouldn't make the first steps to recovery herself, maybe I should make them for her…?

"Ang? You still there?"

"Yeah. Um, Jess…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we should invite Bella?"

Her reply was instant: "No. Why should we?!"

I sighed. "Never mind."

"I'll pick you up at ten. Bye!"

"Bye, Jess."

I pressed end call and went back to my lunch. It looked like Bella was on her own with this one.
