Edward's pov

As I walked around I unconsciously headed to where I knew Bella had headed. Suddenly I heard Bella's voice

"No freaking way she swore she would end it with him." I had to strain to hear the other voice on the phone over the dryer.

"I know but, she says she 'just can't' what am I going to do? I'm basically alone out here, and they are still making me live with the cousins, I hate them, they still haven't let me go live with Gafa again, I miss him and now that you and Sam are basically gone I don't feel bad about . Grrr!"

She started walking back toward the living room, seeming to forgetting that I was here. "What does 'I just can't' mean? Really? Because I for one think it means she's scared, she need to get out of that relationship, Peter is controlling and manipulative and what's going to happen when she breaks one of his 'rules'. Argg." She looked up and saw me with a puzzled look on his face.

"I know what you mean she's been getting much more distant since he caught us at her house, you know the mini going away party we had. He looked pissed"

"Yet another reason she's digging herself into a deeper whole, and that thing with Dino's IM was messed up." Okay I'm officially confused.

"And by messed up you mean fucked up."

"Hell yes. Listen Fish I really want to talk but I'm going over to Emmett's Friends house for dinner, like all 3 of us, so I have to go, I'm sorry."

"It's no problem Iz, I'm glad I could rant for a few minutes. TTFN"

"Ta Ta For Now." She hung up her Phone and put it back in her pocket.

"Damn it!" She turned back around

"Oh I'm sorry Edward you weren't supposed to hear that, let's just forget you did."

"I will if you really want me to but if you want to talk I'm here you seem pretty upset. Who were you talking to?"

"Fish, and yea I am upset but you don't have to worry about it, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't like to burden other people with my problem."

"You wouldn't be burdening me if I offered; maybe it would help if you talked to someone out side the situation. I would like to help if you let me."

She looked down, and then back up at me her eyes calculative, as if trying to see if she would trust me. She must have decided I was worth it because she asked me "what do you want to know?"

"We can start small, why don't you tell me about your friends, Sam for starters."

She rubbed her hands together "okay, now where to start, oh I know,

"Samantha Rose Olan, nicknamed Sam or Dino or sometimes Rosie, is a great person but has been though a lot and I mean a lot of shit." She walked over to the couch chair, gesturing for me to sit on the couch,

"Even when Sam was a child she wasn't exactly in the best situations she has 1 younger brother and 1 older sister along with a half brother and sister both younger than her, her mother and father are both druggies, I met her mom once and she's crazy, her father she hasn't heard from since she was a about 5 or 6. Her older sister Amanda, moved out last year, that's when things seemed to get a lot worse for Sam. That's not saying they were good to begging with but still. Amanda got Sam to smoke around 13 and she started smoking cigarettes around 15."

"Wait if she stated smoking cigarettes at 15 what did she smoke at 13?

"Pot." she said simply I felt my eyes go wide.

"…are you serious?"

"As serious as a heart attack."

"Have you ever..." I said trailing off suggestively

"No that's one thing that set me apart in my old school, most of the kids either smokes pot, cigarettes or both Sam does both, although luckily Alison shares my views and does neither."

"Well that's at least an upside."

"Alison's life's not exactly all peachy keen either, both her parents died when she was a kid and the courts have shuffled her form one family member to another her whole life never leaving her in the one place she wanted to be, with her Uncle. She is closer to him and that family than she is to the entire other side of her family, her Uncle is her mother's brother, they were as close as siblings could get. The problem the courts have though is because they don't think the family is as squeaky clean as they seem, that in it self is a long story, she's better at telling it."

"Who is she living with how then?"

"Her dad's sister, her dad was kind of….disowned if you will, when he turned 18. So they hate Alison by association."

X.X.X.X.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long and I hope the longish chapter will make up for it, 3 pages in word. I've been working on character bios and where I want the story to go.

REVIEW?!?!?!!?
