A/N: Hey. Sorry I haven't updated. I had a dentist appointment today. Ugh, cleaning. I hated that. The foam was the worst part. It burned. Anyway, enough of my drabbling and let's get on with it!

Monday, I was finally able to go back to school. Which, may I mind you, I dreaded. I woke up and dragged my lazy self to the bathroom. I turned the water on. While I waited for it to warm up, I got dressed. I got in.

The hot water felt extremely wonderful. I stood there for a moment before reaching for my shampoo. I lathered rinsed and repeated. I turned the shower off and got out. I wrapped myself up in a towel and tried to brush my hair. After grunting and pulling, I gave up and put in a sloppy ponytail. I opened the door and dragged—once again— myself to my bedroom.

I opened my drawer to find a shirt. I decided on my v-neck violet blouse. I turned around to my closet to find a pair of pants. It was unusually sunny for forks, so I put on a pair of black capris. Then I dug out my black and gray sneakers and slipped them on. I grabbed my book bag and ran downstairs.

Entering the kitchen, I nodded toward Charlie. He mumbled a hello and paid attention to the newspaper once again. I opened the fridge and pulled out the eggs and bacon. I put the bacon in the microwave and cracked the eggs into a skillet.

While the coffee was brewing, I pulled out the orange juice. The coffee dinged, signaling that it was done. The bacon and eggs were also done, so I plated everything and set down in front of myself and Charlie.

I ate quickly and rushed off to school. As I drove, I saw a little girl, about the age of ten or so. She was alone and she looked scared. I stopped the truck and got out. I went over to her.

"Hi, I'm Bella. What's your name?" I asked her. I reached toward her and she flinched. Not a good sign.

"Uh- um- my name is- uh, Laura Smith." She stuttered. I was worried about her.

"Where is your mom and dad?" I interrogated her. She started to cry.

"I don't know? All I know is that, I was sleeping a-and someone came in and took from my bed." Uh-oh. She was kidnapped. Poor girl.

"Can you come in my truck with me and tell me everything that happened?" I asked. She wiped her tears and nodded wearily.

I took her by the hand and we got in the truck. I waited for her to stop crying before she started with her story.

"Well, after h-he took me, the m-man drove me somewhere and took me to a cabin, I think. Then he hit m-me in the arm. Hard." She cried some more. I took her and hugged her. She proceeded to tell me the rest, which included hitting really hard.

By the time she was over, she was absolutely hysterical. I was on the verge of tears also. I wondered what to do with her.

"Do you know your address or phone number?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"We just moved, so I don't know." Oh, this just keeps getting worse and worse.

"Ok, how long has he kept you?"

"I don't know, maybe a week or so."

"Has he fed you?"

"No." Ok, I have a good idea.

"How about this, you come with me to my house and we will have fun, until my dad is home. He is a very nice policeman. He will help you find your parents. Ok?" She nodded. School could wait one more day.

I started the car and headed back for home. I pulled up and we got out. I unlocked the door and led her to the kitchen.

"Ok, what do you want to eat?" I set her up on the counter. She giggled slightly.

"Hmm, how about enchiladas?" Ooo, I loved making those. I grinned and went over to the fridge and got the ingredients out.

"What grade are you in?" I asked her.

"4th grade. What about you?"

"Oh, me? I am in my last year of high school." She was in awe.

"Wow! You must be old." I laughed.

"Well I am almost seventeen." She nodded.

"I'm ten. My birthday is a August 29."

"That is awesome. Mine is September 13."

We talked for a few more minutes, while the enchiladas were cooking.

"Ok! You are served." She smiled and giggled as I bowed in front of her. Wow, I am really comfortable around her. While she was eating I heard a knock at the door.

"I'll be right back. I have to go answer the door." She nodded and continued eating. I ran to go get it.

"Edward! Hi!" He looked worried.

"Where the hell have you been?" He asked frantically. I smiled.

"It's a long story actually." I led him into the kitchen while telling him about Laura. His features softened when he saw her.

"That was very nice of you Bella. Hey, there Laura I'm Edward." He reached for her hand, but she looked terrified and ran behind me. She must've been scared. I smiled.

"Laura, this is Edward. He won't hurt you. I promise. He is my best friend." Edward beamed at the word best friend. I laughed.

"If you're sure." She came out from behind me and grabbed his hand. He surprised me—and her—by grabbing her and tickling her. She laughed and I giggled.

"Edward! Put me down!" She laughed. He finally put her down. She wiped her tears from laughing so hard.

"So, Alice is going to be here in a while." I groaned.

"Who's Alice?" Laura asked.

"Alice is Edward's sister and my other best friend. I'm sure she will like you. She just loves kids." It was the truth too. "She just loves shopping." Laura squealed. "I love shopping." I couldn't help but smile at that. Great, another Alice.

"So, what do you want to do with Bella and me?" Edward asked. I smiled. Edward was going to spend the day with us. Wow, I was smiling a lot today.

"I don't know." Laura said.

"How about, if you come to my house. There's a lot of stuff to do there." They had a game room, which I'm sure she would love. She squealed and nodded.

Edward picked her up and we walked out to his Volvo. I left a note for Charlie, just in case we were out late. We probably were.

Edward called Alice, telling her to go straight home. Since, we were there. Then he took off. We were winding down the street as always. We pulled up.

Laura's eyes got wide. "Woah, this is a huge house." We laughed. I was also laughing a lot today. We went inside. We led her to the game room. She gasped. Edward laughed.

"What do you want to do first?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders, still in awe. He grabbed her by the hand and led her over to the Wii. I followed them.

He put in an operation game. I loved that game. He showed her how to play it. She just kept quiet and listened. She was a good listener for a ten year old.

When it was her turn to play, her brown eyebrows furrowed together. Her chocolate eyes had a twinkle to it. Now that I realize it, she looked a lot like me. What, with her brown hair and chocolate eyes.

She was pretty good at the game. Better than Emmett, at least. Whenever Emmett played, he always ran out of time or made a mistake. We always teased him about to never be a doctor.

When she got bored, she dragged Edward over to laser tag. Yes, their house was that big. After Laura kicked Edward's ass (I'm sure Edward let her win) the rest of the family came home.

"Edward! We're home!" Alice shouted. We came over to them. Laura was being shy, so she hid behind Edward and I.

"Oh, don't worry, you'll love Alice." I said. Once you met Alice, you instantly fell in love with her.

"Who's this?" Alice bent down to her level. Which wasn't very far, considering how small she was. Ok, that was mean, but still.

"Laura." Laura answered quietly. I silently giggled. I moved to the side, so Alice could get a better look. Alice, being Alice, squealed and hugged her tight. Laura giggled. I knew it.

"Do you like shopping?" Alice asked her.

"I love shopping!" That was like icing on the cake for Alice.

"Do you mind if I take her shopping with me?"

"If I can come along." Wow, I would of never thought that those words would come out of my mouth. But, I just wanted to make sure nothing happened to her.

"Of course! Now, come on." Alice dragged us over to her Porsche. We hopped in and Alice took off toward the mall. While we were driving, we told Alice about Laura's past and what happened to her.

"Poor girl." Alice whispered to me. I nodded. We pulled up to the mall and got out. We walked up to the mall, making small talk.

"So, what did I miss today?" I asked Alice.

"Oh, nothing much really. In fact, it was a pretty boring day." I sighed in relief. Nothing major. I had already missed a lot of school as it was.

"What store do you want to go to first?" I asked Laura.

"How about, Justice?"

"Sounds good to me." And we took off toward the store. We entered and Alice went into full shopping mode. She picked out a midnight blue blouse for her. Laura jumped up and down and went to try it on. I have to say, it looked really pretty.

We also picked out black skinny jeans and blue flats to go along with it. She looked so CUTE. We bought it for her, along with a few other clothes.

After the tortuous shopping trip, it was about three o'clock. So, we still had plenty of time.

"What do you want to do now?" I asked.

"Can we go meet the rest of your family, Alice?"

"Sure." We drove back to the Cullen house to meet the rest of the family. We pulled up to the residence. Laura raced in. We laughed again. Lauren sure was funny.

"Laura, this is Emmett. He may look big, but he really his just a big giant teddy bear on the inside." He grabbed her and gave her a big bear hug. She giggled.

"This is Rosalie. She is also really nice. Emmett and her are dating." She nodded.

"And this is Jasper, he is my boyfriend." Alice looked at Jasper lovingly. It was so sweet.

"And this is my mom and dad. Carlisle and Esme." They waved to her.

The rest of the evening was full with games, fun, and food.

"Well, we are going to take off, we'll see you tomorrow." I said. And then we left.

It was a pretty good day.

A/N:Ok, this was a fun chapter to write. Now, coming up to the next chapter, there will be a MAJOR twist. Can you figure out what it is?

Hint: One of the hints is in this chapter.
