A/N - I have one of my best friends helping me with this chapter. Hopefully she will help me a lot. J

Chapter 6

Edward wasn't at school that week.

The week was a complete blur. Classes seemed to merge together, and before I knew it, it was the weekend. The highlight of my week must have been when Yvonne sent me an email. It was less than a week later, and I was impressed.

Hey Bella, the email read.

Yeah things are good here … I'm glad your liking you new school and are settling in well. I'm actually coming into town this week to visit family so I might come and see my big film star in action.

Lots of love

It was a short message, but I knew she didn't have time for big scrawled letters. I wondered who her family was here, as I sent a quick reply back. I closed my baby blue laptop and collapsed on the bed. Yvonne had been a stunt double in my last film, wearing a wig so she looked like me. She had a very pale complexion and unearthly good looks. She had a grace about her that was needed for a stunt double. Yvonne had a very strange love of cloudy and rainy days, but she refused to work during a storm.

My thoughts were stopped by a rumbling of a car outside my window. I gazed outside to see a rusty red car pull up outside. Charlie was out the door and bounded to the car as a teenage boy around 16 or 17 got out. He had long black hair and olive toned skin. He looked like a walking Abercrombie and Fitch poster. First it was Edward, but now my attention was grabbed by this boy. He walked to the trunk of the car and took out an old beat-up wheelchair, whereas Charlie hauled another man out of the car. He placed him in the chair and the man wheeled himself to the door.

"Bella! Come down, I have someone I want you to meet!" came Charlie's voice.

I was curious, and so it took me all my strength not to run down the stairs like a lunatic. I managed to casually saunter to the door and meet the two men.

"Bella, this is Billy Black, my old friend. You might recognise him from the summer's that you spent here."

I gazed at the old man's face, and immediately recognised him. He had deep brown eyes and a kind smile, but there was also a sternness about it.

"Hey, Bella. Remember me?" he said with a half laugh.

"Yeah, sure!" I said, my friendliness coming out. I looked at the boy next to him. "And you are…?"

"Jacob," he said almost sadly. I think he was disappointed that I didn't remember his face. But as soon as he said the name, my mind flashed back to my childhood. Jacob and I fishing on the boat, Jacob and I making mud pies, Jacob and I playing hide and seek. I used to love coming to see Jacob, so I was really surprised I didn't recognise him.

"Oh gosh, Jacob!" I half cried, as I pulled him into a hug. "You have changed so much from the little boy you were."

He grinned as I pulled back, obviously pleased now.

"Well I'm not the only one who has changed, I mean look at you!" I twirled and then posed which made him laugh.

"Of course I have changed, I am more than ten years older."

"If you two don't mind, I'd quite like to go in the house now and watch some baseball!" came a retort from Billy. Jacob helped wheel him up the stairs, and I made sure he didn't fall. They all sat in the family room, waiting for the game to come on. Jacob sat next to me on the sofa, while Charlie took the arm chair, and Billy, well he stayed in his chair beside Charlie.

"So how's life been?" I asked Jacob, wanting to fill the silence.

"Good, good." came his reply. "And yours?"

"Fine." I couldn't think of anything to say. The excruciating silence continued. After 5 minutes of this, the game began. About time, I thought.

I watched the beginning of it, but didn't understand a thing. I slowly got up out of my seat and tiptoed away. The only person who noticed was Jacob, who smiled at me. I smiled back and then legged it up to my room. I was bored with the plain walls of the house and decided to go out. So I told Charlie I was nipping out to get some snacks and raced to my beloved truck.

I drove quickly, until I got lost in the middle of a woodland road. I continued down the narrow path until the trees on either side started to clear. I looked out to see a large glass house. It was so open and non-private, that I marvelled the people that lived there. They must be very open people, I thought. There was a large field to the side of the house, and I thought I could see a deer at the very other side. It must have been a trick of my eyes though, as there the next moment, it was gone. I decided it was probably not best to stay there, as someone could come to a window and see me staring creepily into their house. So I made a U-turn, and started to drive off. I looked into the wing mirror to have one last look at the amazing house, when I could have sworn I saw Edward Cullen's face staring at me from the top window.

I sped off into the night, panicking at the thought that I had just seen Edward in his house. I was so distracted, that I nearly didn't notice the figure of a woman standing in the middle of the road. I stomped on the brakes, and stopped just in time in front of the woman. She was tall with, wild bleach blonde hair. She was dressed in leather pants, a tight black cropped top and a leather jacket. Her eyes as crazy as fire as she tapped her red nails against my car bonnet. Her bright lips pulled into a dangerous smile as she looked at me.

"Hello, Bella. Nice ride," She smirked in her husky Scottish accent.

It was Yvonne.

A/N - Yvonne may be loosely based on my best friend who is with me at the moment. She made me. And plus I am loving her character which she made up herself. Tell me all your opinions on Yvonne just now.
