Chapter Song
And here we go again with all the thing we said
And not a minute spent to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back these words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore, we meant
"Here We Go Again" By Paramore
When we finally made it off the bus with Rosalie all alone, I had to ask Charlie if I could go to a Alice's since I didn't want to hurt the 7 year old. I was walking with Jasper and Edward as they talked about Art.
"Bella" Jasper said.
"Hmm" I replied.
"What are you doing right now" he asked
"Nothing, really. I thought I would ask Charlie to see if I could go to Alice's since I made Cynthia cry"
"Oh, okay. Well I could show where it's at and we could ride our skateboards"
"Sure, sounds like a plan"
We separated ways and I walked to my house. I grabbed the key from under the planter and opened the door, locking and closing it when I got inside. I went upstairs and dropped my backpack on the floor in my room.
I walked up to my computer and turned it on to see of I had any e-mails from Renee. I walked back downstairs to look for something to warm me up. In one of the cabinets I found a hot chocolate packet, so I made hot chocolate with the milk I found in the fridge.
In the fridge and cabinets looked like Charlie never ate at home. I brought the cup down from the microwave, which was hot. I placed it on the counter to let it cool down. I grabbed my cell phone and phoned the station.
"Hello, Chief Swan" Charlie said, formally.
"Dad, its Bella"
"Are you, ok? What happened" he asked, frantically.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you, if I could go to a friends house for a little while"
"Depends, on who this friend is" he asked, unsure.
"Alice Brandon" I replied.
"Ok, sure. You may go"
"Ok I love you dad
"Love, you too, Bells. Bye"
"Bye" I said, before I hung up.
I did a little happy dance, before I stumbled. I grabbed my cup and drank some my hot chocolate, it was cool enough to bring back to my room. I made my way upstairs and placed my cup on my desk next to my laptop.
I looked at the computer screen and put my password in. I went to my internet and typed into my e-mail account. I saw that Renee sent me an e-mail.
Bella baby,
I miss you so much. I'm having fun traveling with Phil though, but I know that something is missing. Its you, baby. Well, I hope you can come for spring break. I'm into a new hobbie. Scrapbooking. It's so cool. Putting pictures and some little designs with stickers. I sent you some picture of some I made.
How was your first day of school? Make any new friends? Any cute boys?
Call me soon. I love you. XOXOX
Love,
Mom
I read over quickly and typed my response, after looking at the pictures. She was actually very good, most of the pictures were me and her or Phil and her.
Mom,
I miss you too. I'm happy you're having fun. Have fun, I will try and see you then and we could do whatever you want. I love the pictures, they're nice.
It was fun made lots of new friends. I'm ahead everyone, so I really don't have to worry about anything.
I'll call you tonight. Love you, too. XOXO
Love,
Bella
I finished and sent the e-mail. I sipped some of my hot chocolate and looked at the rest of my mail. I saw only junk mail. I heard the doorbell ring, so I set my drink down and walked downstairs. I figured it was Jasper, but once I opened it. I was surprised to see Edward combing his hair with his fingers.
"Um... hi" he said, looking up.
"Hi"
I knew he was still mad at me for yelling at him, but still he had no right to hit Newton with a basketball for him being my friend. I liked Edward, we could be best friends, but he still had no right. Ok, I'm being repetitive.
"Bella, I just wanted to say....I'm sorry"
"Tell me, why"
"What" he asked.
"Why did you hit Newton with the ball"
"Because its fun"
"Edward" I warned.
"Ok, because I thought we could be best friends and Newton is vial"
"Well, Newton wouldn't even be in that category"
"Ok"
"So, do you want something? I can make hot chocolate, I just have to change and get my skateboard" I said.
"Sure"
I moved aside and let him in. We went into the kitchen and went to get the hot chocolate packet and a cup. I poured the milk and heated it in the microwave.
"So, are you going to Alice's" I asked.
"I'd have to ask my mom"
"Where do you live"
"I live on the other side of Forks"
"Oh, well I just thought" I said, taking the cup out of the microwave.
"I know, my parents are just on a business trip since my father has a big case"
"A big case"
"He's a lawyer owns the firm here in Forks and some more in Washington"
"Oh, ok" I gave him his drink.
"I'm going to get dressed"
"Ok"
I walked to my room and went to my closet to look for something to wear. I found a long sleeve v-neck shirt and a white t-shirt underneath. I left my jeans on and switched my shoes for my black and white worn out vans. I grabbed my skateboard and my hoodie. I drank the rest of my hot chocolate and went downstairs.
Edward was still drinking his hot chocolate, while looking through his black Sidekick. I placed my cup in the sink and my board on the floor. I still had my blue Fusic in my jean pocket just in case.
"Sorry" he said, putting his phone in his pocket.
"It's ok"
"This is good" he drank some.
"You do know it's made from a packet right"
"Oh" I laughed.
"Give me your phone" he asked.
"Ok-ay" I said, wondering what he was going to do.
I handed him my phone. He grabbed it and started to type something. I heard his phone ringing, then he typed on his phone. He slid my phone back to me and pulled his phone up to his face. I heard a snap. He had a mysterious smile on his face and put his phone back into his pocket.
"I gave you my number and I have yours"
"Ok" I said, picking up my phone looking through my contacts and there he was Edward Bff.
"I have a picture when you call ok" he said.
"What?! How" I asked, incredulously.
"Just now"
"I bet I looked ridiculous"
"No, just cute"
I blushed and looked at my phone. I looked back up to see Edward looking around. I quickly got my phone on silent mode and took a picture of him. I saved the picture to his number.
The door bell rung and I rushed over to get it. I opened the door and saw Jasper with his gray and black skateboard. He looked up and smiled at me.
"Hey Jasper"
"Hey, you ready" he asked.
"Sure, um come in"
I walked and saw Edward looking at me. I grabbed my skateboard and cell phone. I took Edward's cup and placed it in the sink. I put my hoodie on, zipping it half way.
"Dude, you are always here when I come by" Jasper said.
"I was apologizing" Edward said, getting up.
"Oh, for what" Jasper asked.
"P.E." he replied.
"Are you coming with us" he asked.
"Yeah, do you still have my skateboard at your house"
"Nope, I set it next to the door here"
"Thanks" Edward said, going to the door.
"Figured you would want to come" he replied, following Edward.
We walked out the door, after I locked it. I steadied myself on my skateboard and kicked the ground to start moving. I saw Edward and Jasper follow my lead.
"So, where does she live" I asked.
"About four blocks" Edward said.
"I never got to see your drawing, Jasper. What was it"
"Um, a hand" he replied, looking straight ahead.
"I know my inspiration, who's yours? Edward. Jasper"
"No one" they said in unison.
"Ok" I said, turning into the next street.
We talked about the teachers like how needs to get laid. That was rather funny because tears ran down my face. By the time we got to Alice's it was 3:52, Charlie would be on his way home.
We left our skateboards by the door and rang the doorbell. A man with green eyes and brown hair in a vest with a long sleeve shirt underneath, also some slacks, answered the door.
"Anthony, Tyler" the man said in a serious voice.
"Hello, Pastor Brandon" they said.
"Who is this young lady"
"Um...my name is Isabella Swan"
"Lovely, now your middle" he asked.
"Marie" I replied.
"Alice, angel come here"
As soon as he called her, she came skipping with Cynthia. They squealed and hugged me. I hugged them back generously. I saw a little brown dachund run up and jump on their legs.
"Angel, you have not told me about your new friend"
"Father, we have not had dinner, yet"
"Well, make sure they have no shoes on the new rug your mother would be furious" he left with that said. No nice to meet you or goodbye.
"God, never thought he leave come in guys" she pulled us into doorway.
We removed our shoes and followed Alice to her room, where there was yellow and green, also some pink and blue all around. Her room had a garden theme with flowers on her bed spread and some painted on the walls. The ceiling was sky blue with painted clouds. She had a white desk and headboard. Her desk held her laptop and fashion magazines.
Alice sat down on her bed talking to Jasper who sat next to her. I sat on the edge near Edward, who occupied her desk chair. I looked over where Cynthia was on the floor playing with her dolls.
"Ali, can we bring Gucci in please" Cynthia asked, all of the sudden.
"Yeah, sure" she said, getting up off her bed to go to the door.
The little dog ran into the room trying to jump on Alice's queen mattress. She started to whine and scratch the floor. I got off the edge and patted my leg to get the dogs attention. She immediately ran over to me, jumping and licking my face. I rubbed behind her ears as she laid down on the floor.
Cynthia put her dolls on the desk and came over to me and played with the dog. I looked over to where Alice and Jasper were leaning to each other, then to Edward who was staring at me, very intently.
I looked away and played with Gucci. She was surprisingly a good dog. I heard footsteps; I glanced back to Alice, who was making out with Jasper. I stood up and pushed him down. He fell off to the floor with a surprised look on his face. I heard Edward laughing. Jasper looked at me and it was clearly shown that he was pissed. He got up and came to me.
"Angel, we are having dinner soon" Pastor Brandon said.
"Um...ok father. I'll dismiss my friends" Alice said, blushing.
Pastor Brandon left and Jasper still glared at me. I looked back at Alice who was blushing at the floor. Cynthia was playing with the puppy and Edward had an amused look on his face.
"I was trying to save your ass from getting kicked out" I whisper-yelled.
He looked at me shocked and thankful. He looked back at Alice, then the floor blushing. I laughed and hugged him. I looked at Edward who was glaring at Jasper. I pulled away and hugged Alice and whispered in her hair.
"You owe me, but I'm just happy that you got your first kiss"
She smiled at me and mouthed a 'thank you'. I went back to Edward and Jasper who were whispering. I saw Cynthia looking at us, very confused. I crouched down and hugged her.
"Cynthia, I have to leave, but I'll see you tomorrow ok"
"Ok" she said, sadly.
I got up and said goodbye to Alice and Cynthia, grabbing Jasper's and Edward's hands, pulling them out the door. We walked down the door to see Pastor Brandon and Mrs. Brandon.
"Goodbye Marie, Anthony, Tyler" Pastor Brandon said.
We mumbled a goodbye and put our shoes on. We grabbed our skateboards and glided down the road.
"Thanks, Bella" Jasper said, embarrassed.
"Your welcome, just listen and make out at the same time"
"You've done that before" Edward asked, surprised.
"No" I whispered.
"What" he asked.
"No" I said, louder.
"Than how would you know" he asked.
"It's common sense when there is an adult in the house"
"What about the heat of the moment and nothing else matters, when you share that with someone"
"What about you? Huh, have you ever had a kiss before" I asked.
"Yeah"
"Probably only had one kiss before"
"You don't know anything" he replied.
"Guys, stop fighting we're friends, remember" Jasper said, defusing the situation.
"Whatever" Edward said.
I just rolled my eyes and kept kicking to move faster. We were almost at my house, I could see the cruiser in the drive way. I looked next door to see a black Scion tc in Jasper's drive way. We got closer to the house and I saw two beautiful people come out of the house. A man with a strong jaw and light brown hair and hazel eyes in a suit with a long trench coat. He had a woman with him who had bronze hair and green eyes in a black dress with a trench coat. I suspected them for Edward's parents. Edward had the same hair and eye color as his mother but looked like his father.
I saw Jasper's come out of the house. I saw Jasper's father for the first time. He had honey blonde shaved hair and brown eyes. He was muscular, but not big like Emmett. He had a scar on his neck that looked like it was from a knife. We came closer and Edward's mother walked to Edward hugging him tightly and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, Edward I've missed you so much. Thank you, Anna, Christian" Edward's mother said, sweetly.
"Come on, Elizabeth. Edward has class in the morning and he needs to get to bed" Edward's father said.
"Ok" she grabbed Edward's skateboard and embraced Edward again, bringing him with her to the car.
He waved goodbye and got in the car. The car started and drove away. Jasper hugged me and went inside. I walked home and went inside.
N94: So you guys got a little of Edward's parents. They'll be back later in the story. I made Alice's dad use their middle names because he's not comfortable with using their real names.
