2 months later

Alice and I pulled into the school parking lot on Monday morning. She already got through with her ranting and raving about driving in my truck today. Actually, I was proud of her, she had it all finished in five minutes. She said it was very unclassy to arrive anywhere in this, as she called it, "thing".We pulled into our usual spot. So generously saved by Jake and Jasper every morning. Jake was leaned against the rabbit when I got out. Alice skipped over to Jasper. They greeted every morning the same way. A chased kiss and hand in hand.

Jake was less polite. He always wanted a full blown make-out. Something I wouldn't do. As I said before, I'm a shy person. I allow a ten second kiss. I probably sound controlling don't I? Oh well.

"Morning, Bells" He said dipping down for his morning kiss. Before his lips could get to mine I felt my stomach clench. My throat felt suddenly warm and I knew what was coming next. I clasped a hand over my mouth and ran behind my truck. My breakfast came up and and I puked. Jake was already behind me holding my hair out of my face and rubbing my back. I puked until my stomach felt empty.

"Oh Bella! I'll take you home" Alice came up to me, pulling me up from my bent over position. I handed her the keys as she help me over to the passenger side. Next thing I knew we were already on our way to my house. Leaning my head against the cool window I tried to focus on anything but puking.

"Distract me, Alice" I groaned.

"Oh, uh, did I tell you Edward's coming home?" she asked.

I looked at her surprised. "From China? When?" I asked trying to hide my excitement.

"Tomorrow, actually. He flies in at Port Angelas at 5 . I'm getting out of school early with Emmett to go get him." she said matter-of-factly. Edward was an old friend. I really good friend. He left 5 years ago to be a exchange student, sort of. His parents sent him to a school there. Something he actually was excited about. It was more challenging, and gave him more opportunities. Evan a free scholarship for any collage he chooses.

"Can I come with?" the words came out before I could stop them

She chuckled, "Didn't you just puke your guts out? You shouldn't come to school tomorrow."

"Alice, I'll stay home tomorrow for you sake but all I have to do is say Jake is taking me to dinner in Port Angelas. You know he wont say no to Jacob"

"Okay, if you can convince Charlie, I don't mind" she smiled at me. We pulled in front of my house 2 seconds later. "Oh crap! How am I getting back to school."

I laughed at her "You can take my truck. I just need the key for the house. Charlie isn't here." I jumped out and walked to the drivers side. She rolled down the window and I snatched the keys from her. After unlocking the door, I ran the keys back to her.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" she asked putting it into reverse. I nodded and waved as she backed out. When I got in the house I phoned Charlie and told him the story and said to call the school. By the time I was done with that I barely had enough energy to get up the stairs. I just flopped on my bed and crashed.

I awoke to the sound of Charlies cruiser pulling in the drive way, through my open window. Looking at the clock before jumping up, it was 5:15. Holy cow. I walked to the window and, sure enough, my truck was in its place.

Shoot, Bella, you forgot dinner!

I jogged down stairs and straight into the kitchen. Opening up the freezer I pretended I had been debating on what to make for a while. I pulled out fish sticks and fries. Charlie still wasn't in yet, most likely chatting it up with the neighbors. I thanked God and searched for a cookie sheet. By the time Charlie was in the house, I had the fish sticks and fries in the oven.

"Hey Bells, 'whatcha got 'cookin?"

"Fish sticks and fries they'll be done in 13 minutes" he planted himself on the couch.

After 10 fish sticks and who knows how many fries I felt exhausted. I told Charlie I was retiring to my room, that I was tired and dragged my way up to my room. I fell on my bed again but, as tired as I was, I was unable to sleep. Finally giving up at 1:30 I went for a hot shower. I turned the water on as hot as it could go and stripped. I showered and thought. About Edward.

Flash Back~

Edward and I stood in front of each other at the airport before he left. I was 13. He was the same. I was bawling my eyes out. Who could blame me, my best friend was leaving for a very long time.(Yes, not only Alice but Edward was my best friend to, although if he would have been up to dating...) Edward hugged me before coming to his crying sister. He hugged her tight before hugging his parents and, although he was very resentful about it, hugging a very young 15 year old Emmett. He walked away silent without looking back.

End of flash back~

I found myself imagining a night alone with Edward. I stopped the thought cold. Remember your boyfriend? Jacob? Yeah, Yeah, I remember.

Back in my room I was showered and in bed ready for sleep to overcome me. And, luckily, it did. I slept dreamless. That was a very nice change, freaky dreams have been invaded my sleep for about a month and a half.

My father came into my room in the morning, I faintly remembered him talking to me, but I was still so tired I couldn't wake up. I woke up to my phone ringing on my bed stand. I answered it groggy.

"Bella? Were you sleeping?" Alice asked.

"Uh, yeah" I rubbed my eyes.

"Maybe you shouldn't come. You sound tired"

I sat up quick. "No, no, no. I'm good." My phone beeped to the other line "Other line, I'll be ready by 3:45" I crossed over. "Hello?" it came out as a question

"Oh Bells your awake."

"Yeah, Dad. Jake wants to take me out on a date in Port Angelas"

"Okay, when do you think you'll be home?" he asked

"Like 10:00. There's a movie to" I lied

It was 3:00 and I started to panic. I told Charlie I had to go I started to get ready. A moosing and a 10 minute makeup later, I was looking for something to wear. I couldn't recall the last time I actually cared about dressing up. My first date with Jake, maybe? I chose something casual. Some worn out jeans and a yellow tank top. Looking outside, I knew it was too cold for a tank top, so I started searching for my gray long sleeve pull over. I heard honking coming from outside. I knew it was Alice and Emmett. Finally finding it I pulled it on and grabbed my purse. Half running down the stairs. I opened the door I was surprised to see Emmett hand up about to knock on the it. He picked me up, our normal greeting, and started carrying me down the stairs. After reaching and shutting the door of course. He set me gently in the back seat. My best friends turned in the front seat and greeted me. Soon we were on our way. The purr of Emmett's car relaxed my nerves and ultimately put me to sleep. Which I was grateful for because I wasn't looking forward to a long car ride. Long car rides made me sick. This time my sleep wasn't so sound. I jolted forward screaming, Alice and Emmett jumped alarmed.

"Bella?" Alice asked worried. I calmed my breath and tried not to think of my dream.

"I'm fine. Just a bad dream is all. Where are we?" I asked looking around. We were in some kind of parking garage.

"The airport. We didn't want to wake you."

"Believe me I would have preferred you did. What time is it?" I asked scooting so I could see them both.

"It's five right now but his plain came in early, we just waiting for him to get his bags." she said unbuckling herself. I hadn't realized that I wasn't wearing mine. For a police chief's daughter, I really didn't obeyed by the law well.

They got out and I did the same. It was then that I saw him. He was a changed man. Elegant, really. He wore a blue button down shirt and gray khakis. His jaw was set, chiseled. All I could do was stand and stare. Unable to recover my jaw, that was dropped to the ground. Alice ran and jumped into his arms already crying. They hugged for what seemed like forever.

"Oh Edward!" she sobbed. He put his adoptive sister down to look at her.

"Alice, your all grown up" His voice was beautiful. He seemed like he was crying to. Alice did a turn around for him. Emmett approached slowly holding his hands out. They hugged like mans with hard slaps on the back.

"Welcome, back little bro" he said in his deep voice. Emmett picked his brothers bags up while fishing the keys out of his pocket to pop the trunk. Edward didn't seem to notice me, not a good sign, until he got closer.

"Bella? Bella Swan?" said coming closer. I nodded biting my lip through a smile. Then he was running. At the end of his jog he picked me up and swung me around. I hugged tightly to him giggling. His scent was intoxicating. I suddenly felt light headed. He put me on my feet but kept his hands on my hips. I did a once over smiling.

"My best friend is all grown up." he said. I rapped my arms around his neck into another hug. I missed this. We released each other but he kept and arm on my waist. We watched Emmett put the bags in the trunk. He let go so we could get in the car. When we were in he immediately took my hand. I began to wonder, subconsciously, if I should put a stop to it. I pushed the thought away.

This was in no way wrong.

"So guys fill me in on everything" he said giving my hand a squeeze.

"Jasper and I are getting married. Which you already know. Bella has a boyfriend. She's definitely not the little Bella you used to know." Alice eyed me through the mirror. I blushed and looked away. Edward squeezed my hand again. Soon he was tracing small circles on my hand with his thumb. Our conversation lasted the whole ride home. We got to the Cullen's house just about 9. I almost cried when Esme greeted her son. We got him settled in and I found myself, somehow, alone with him in his room.

"Bella, you have changed so much" Edward said sitting next to me on his bed. I nodded in agreement.

I clock caught my eye and I panicked. It was already nine fifty-five.

"Shoot. I gotta get home." I stood quickly.

"Well, I'll take you." he said grabbing Emmett's keys that were left on his nightstand. We rushed down the stairs as fast as possible. The whole family shot us a look. Edward pointed to me and they caught the drift. He led me to the garage, like he never left and still remembered every location in the house. He opened the car door for me like a gentlemen. He got in his seat opened the garage door and sped out. I held on for dear life.

"Jesus Edward!" I said buckling my seat belt.

"Sorry," he still didn't slow down "in China I learned how to drive. Races and drifting is popular over there."

I marveled at him. How much he had changed. Although, I did see some hints of my little best friend in there. I smiled as he sped onto my street.

"Stop!" I yelled. He slammed on the brakes jerking only me forward.

"What?" he looked at me surprised.

"You can't drop me off at my house. I told my dad I was with Jake" I explained unbuckling myself. I could feel his eyes on me so I looked at him. He was smiling cheekily at me.

"What?" I said smiling back.

"It's still amazing to me how much you've changed. Your a woman. Not the little girl I left you as." He said brushing my bangs out of my face. "It's fascinating." I shook my head at him smiling. I loved him there was no denying it. I leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Bye, Edward." I said stepping out of the car and slamming the door behind me. I walked forward, feeling suddenly confident. He sped away and I found myself imagining things that I tooken woman should never imagine about another man.
