I decided that after checking up on her that night I would fix up the house during the day while Bella was at school and keep a close eye on her during the night. I still haven't come across the vampire whose scent tended to linger around her house nor had I figured out who it was. I had the house almost fully stocked with all the items that we would need if the moment arise for us all to move back. I fixed up Alice and Jasper's room first collecting everything that I knew she would want in her room, moved on to Em's and mine doing the same put I painted the walls a sugary pastel blue, Carlisle and Esme's room didn't need anything because they left all the furniture and their belongings here, probably in a hope that Edward would change his mind, coming to Edward I set up his room with all of the items he liked and even repainted his walls a softer white.
After completing the redo of the house I spent my time looking up all I could on how to cook and keeping an eye on Bella. It had been a few weeks since the agreement with Edward and my leaving the family. Alice called none stop, but I ignored her calls not wanting to talk to anyone yet. I missed Emmett like crazy but was certain this was something I had to do. I was also puzzled on if Alice could see what I was doing or not. I was sure if she could she'd know where I was, so why was she calling me all the time. I headed for the High School. I hadn't made my way there in a while and I could check up on Bella and still keep my distance. I noticed that I could see Bella who was peeking out the window in my direction, so I quickly jumped up into the tree. I could see clearly that she had repositioned herself to look out the window to get a better look. Boy that was a close call. I chose to hang out in the trees and jumped from tree to tree until I was close to the middle of the buildings so I could easily hear the conversations around me.

I thought I had seen her beautiful, hatred filled vampire who despised me because I was endangering her family. It was lunchtime and the sun had disappeared behind the clouds. Right now would be the safest time for them. I worked my way through the crowded hallway and toward the cafeteria. I moved toward Angela who gave me a smile as I stood by her in line.
"Angela, do you think I could sit with you guys today" I asked as I grabbed an apple and an ice tea. She looked at me and gave me another big smile.
"I'm sure that would be fine" she said as she paid and moved toward the table where our entire group was sitting. That didn't sound weird anymore, they were my friends and of course they would still be my friends. I felt a little guilty for ignoring them these past few weeks; it was just hard on me.
"Hey Arizona, your sitting at our table, did you get lonely and decide to come back to us" of course it would be Mike. He never has had a good sense of humor but I didn't think that I would be the one to tell him that. I could see the stares I was getting from everyone at the table.
"I just thought I needed a different atmosphere today. I also will admit I missed most of you, some I could do without" I said as I playfully pushed him. He smiled at me and sat down in between me and Jessica who by the way was staring at me with hatred in her eyes. "I guess you could say I came to realize that he left me, so it's not the end of the world. I should be thankful that I am in such good company of friends and not worry about the past. It's his lose not mine" I said plastering the biggest and fakest smile across my face that I could muster.
"Bella, would you care to join Jessica and I this afternoon" asked Angela looking from Ben to me.
"Where you guys heading?" I asked taking a glance at Jessica.
"We were going to head to Port Angles to do some shopping" Jessica spoke up glaring at me with her eyes telling me to say 'no'. I thought about it for a moment. Charlie would be alright Billy and Jacob were coming up and it was Friday which would mean I didn't have much homework to think about. I could also use some time out of Forks.
"If it's alright with you, Jessica. I'd like to go. I haven't been there in a while and could pick up some books from the bookstore there." I said giving her a small smile.
"Yeah, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have another girl tag along. We're planning on leaving right after school so meet us at my car" she stated as if she was giving me orders.
"I'll be there. I need to go call my dad to let him know so I'll just catch you all later" I said as I stood up and headed toward the parking lot. I would have to call my dad from there because I left my cell in the car.

I was glad that Angela was such a nice person for a human. If I was a human she would be one of the people that I would be friends with. Alice even liked her and I know Edward enjoyed knowing that he could trust Bella with her. She seemed to have one of the purest and most sincere hearts any human could ever have. On the other hand I could hardly stand Jessica she reminded me of myself. How sad? Anyway I'm glad that Bella's getting out of town, even if it's only for an afternoon. I will follow them just to keep an eye on Bella. I have about two and a half hours before school let's out. I'll head out and hunt something quickly and have enough time to get home, changed and back here before school let's out. I climbed higher up into the tree I was in and began jumping from tree to tree until I reached the edge of the forest. Once I was there I quickly landed on the ground and took off toward a deer that I smelled. Oh perhaps there was more than one.

I had about ten minutes before the lunch bell would ring signaling the end of lunch. So I quickly found my keys and opened up my car, sure enough there on the passenger seat was my cell phone. I dialed the number I had never used before and wasn't surprised that Officer Peters was the one to answer the phone.
"Forks Police Department, this is Officer Peters speaking how may I help you" he said in a goofy voice. He was one of two police officers that worked under my dad, the other being Officer Henry.
"Oh, hi Officer Peters, this is Bella Swan (like he didn't know my last name). I was wondering if I might be able to speak to my dad. I mean if he isn't busy, of course" I spoke jumbled and hoped that he understood what I meant.
"Chief Swan is actually, just hanging out right now" he said laughing as I heard a small smack and then the phone being moved around. Of course all they had to do was full around.
"Bella is everything alright you've never called the station to talk to me before. Did something happen" of course the interrogation began as my dad's worried voice mumbled his questions to me.
"Dad, chill out. I was just calling to let you know that I was going to head down to Port Angels with Angela and Jessica. Some friends from school, only because I know you'll be busy watching the game with the Blacks and thought you guys could do it alone" I said looking at the students who were heading back into school the bell would be ringing shortly.
"Yeah, I guess you could use some time with friends your age. I'll have Jacob pick your car up from the school. Have Jessica drop you off at the house. I'll see you later tonight.
I love you" he said as I heard the first bell ring.
"Okay, thanks dad. I love you too, see you later" I said as I jumped out of the car and headed toward my next class. The thinking of all the possibilities to what could happen tonight began popping into my head. Hopefully just hanging out and not thinking about him. The rest of the day seemed to fly by, because before I knew it the last bell rang for the day signaling the end of a long stressful day. As I walked toward the parking lot I saw Angela already standing by Jessica who was giving Mike a hug as she climbed off the hood of his car.
"Come on Bella, let go before it gets to dark" she yelled as soon as se saw me. I walked faster towards her. This was going to be a very long night, thank god that Angela was coming or I wouldn't be able to stand Jessica. She never really liked me, especially after he started dating me last year. I climbed into the back seat of her Honda Accord and listened as they began to talk about all kinds of different things. I on the other hand decided to tune them out and look out the windows. Riding in the back of her car reminded me of last year sitting in the back of Carlisle's car as Alice and Jasper drove me to Arizona. That was when James was after me, oh my gosh how I missed that darn pixie. A Smile began to creep its way on my face, I would enjoy tonight no matter what. I needed some excitement in my life; he would want me to be happy.
