A/N: Okay so I don't want to spend too long on the visits because it just kind of slows the story down. This chapter is going to be pretty much fun stuff but it's just the calm before the storm. We will (well more like Bella does) meet the darker side of Edward in the next chapter and soon we might meet the people who killed Edward's "father". Again sorry about the long waiting periods for updates but school sucks and I'm already supposed to be doing homework right now so... yeah just bear with me please.

Chapter Four (uh i didn't know what to call this chapter)

Insanity: doing something over and over again and expecting different results.

Well that's how I feel right now. I keep swinging the bat at the baseball that's hurtling towards me at eighty miles per hour and expect to miraculously hit the darn thing. Charlie decided to make up for not being able to hang out with me last week by bringing me to the batting cages. And all be damned if that ball didn't curve ot of the path of my bat every time.

I finally convinced Charlie that I'd rather watch and get him drinks than commit suicide by trying to play baseball. He laughed but agreed. Don't get me wrong I'm not a complete loss when it comes to sports. I make a pretty good basketball player and i'm pretty good at almost anything that doesn't involve swinging at some type of ball or running on the wet grass. I'm even a good fighter. Renee signed me up a couple of years ago because she thought that I needed to learn how to protect myself. I ended up loving it and stayed for a few more years until I moved out to Forks with Charlie about two years ago.

So here I was, sitting around watching Charlie hit the baseball and running to grab him a coke every so often. I decided that I was going to go visit Jake. I hadn't seen him in a few days since school started last week. Plus I've been spending all of my free time visiting Edward. I'd tried to get him to come into town and told him that he could probably stay with me and Charlie, but he always declines. I think he's hiding from someone. He doesn't speak much but I can tell there is something bothering him.

He's finally starting to trust me a little bit. He doesn't give me that confused, suspicious look every time I give him something. So far it's been water bottles, cereal bars, soap, and a razor. I don't know how but he kept himself pretty clean even before I gave him that stuff. He seems to prefer to live out in the forest rather than with people. I was startled from my thoughts when Charlie's phone went off.

"Cheif Swan here.... okay I'll be right down." he hung up the phone. "I'm so sorry Bells, but they have a new development on those deaths in the forest and I gotta go in." He said with a look that told me he'd make it up to me.

"That's okay dad, I was thinking about going to visit Jake anyways." A look of relief washed over his face.

After Charlie droppeed me off at home and left for the station in full uniform, I decided that I would go to the store and make a quick delivery before I went to see Jake. I went through the motions of getting all of the supplies i thouht he'd need and headed for the checkout. I was lost in thought when a smooth voice snapped me back to the present.

"So does the Cheif have a super fast metabolism or do you have a giant mastiff that I never heard about?" The checkout boy asked. He had black hair and piercing blue eyes. I looked up at him in confusion. "I see you in here at least once a week, if not more, and each time you seem to be buying enough to feed an army." he clarified playfully.

"Oh, well maybe I just eat a lot. I do have a pretty fast metabolism. But no, there's no giant dog hidden in our house."

"Aw, darn! I wanted to go see the amazing, giant, hidden dog!" I laughed. "But seriously, why do you buy so much food? I know the Cheif isn't eating it because, well, his uniform still fits, and I know that you're no t eating it because there is no way that much food could fit into that tiny stomach, so where does it all go?" Okay this kid was making me nervous. I knew that if I told anyone in town that the news would spread faster than wildfire and I hadn't exactly told anyone about Edward yet.

"I'm storing up for the day that this town finally floods and I'm stuck in the house with the cheif and my giant hidden dog so that I don't get eaten. I mean seriously, how much can it rain in one place without it flooding? I would have thought the whole town would have drowned by now it's been raining so much." When I finished my little rant I looked up to see him barely holding back laughter. Soon he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I- I cant- breathe!" he choked out between fits of laughter. At that I just couldn't stand to hold my laughter in any longer either and I joined him. At this point we were making a bit of a scene and half of the store was looking at us as if contemplating whether or not to call a psychiatric ward and have us committed. We quickly quieted down our laughing. I handed him the money and managed to get out without giving him any real answers. I made a mental note to stay away from his register.

I drove up to the trail and left the supplies in a hollow tree trunk for him. He had hollowed it out so I could still bring him supplies without having to make the hike. He would probably be expecting the supplies since I usually brought them over on Fridays. I made the drop and headed over to Jake's house.

When I got there Jake was already waiting for me on the front porch.

"Geez Bells where've you been? Charlie called to say you were coming over an hour ago."

"Sorry I had some cleaning to do before I came over."

"Sure, sure. So what do you want to do?" He said brushing off my excuse.

"Um, I'm not sure."

"Well, since it's raining out, do you mind if we just watch tv?"

"Sure."

"Great because there's this baseball game that I really wanted to watch today." He looked at me with pleading eyes. I sighed theatrically in defeat.

Not fifteen minutes later I was about an inch away from pulling my hair out. I growled in exasperation.

"I try. To learn your ways; understand your obsessions, but this baseball is so bleeding boring isn't it!" I finally spoute out in annoyance. (A/N: P.S. If anyone can tell me what movie that is from I will totally love you forever! Plus I'll fulfill any request made of the first person to get it right. Well... maybe, not any request.)

Jake burst out into fits of laughter. "I knew you wouldn't be able to stand it for more than twenty minutes! I really don't like baseball either but I just wanted to see how long it would take you to go insane. To be honest if you hadn't said anything in the next five minutes I would have gone insane!" He finally choked out when he got control of his laughter

"So what do you want to do then?" Jake asked after we had both calmed down enough to speak normally.

"Well, I kinda wanted to show you something, but the rain kind of ruined that idea. We can go hang out in the garage for a while if you want?"
"What did you want to show me?"

"It's a surprise, it'll just have to wait for another day I guess. What do ya say about the garage though?"

"Definately. I've been kind of neglecting my car for a while because of school, it would be great to get some work in on her."

We chatted aimlessly for a few hours and just hung out in the garage while Jake worked on his car. It was around seven thirty when my cell phone started to ring.

"Bella, something's happened."

A/N: DUN DUN DUUUN!
