Okay, so Bella was kind of harsh to Angela, but remember..

Brady asked her to stay human!

Plus I need to do it this way.

It will work out in the end, I promise.

Just keep reading.

Bella POV

The wedding was so close now. It was two days away. There was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I heard a heartbeat and I could smell it was Angela.

"Bella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let my anger get the best of me." She apologized. I sighed.

"Angela.. It's not that I don't like you, I do. You make my son happy. He loves you." She smiled.

"I love him too." I smiled gently.

"You should know my story.. I was 17 when I was changed. Best friends with Jake. I had a stupid boyfriend. Jake begged me not to go. He had a really bad gut feeling. I didn't listen." I paused, running a hand through my hair. Angela reached out and placed her hand on my leg.

"Long story short, got pulled into an alleyway by about 7 or 8 men. It's kind of fuzzy. They beat me, cut me, stabbed me, ripped my clothes to shreds and raped me." She gasped and I could smell the tears falling down her face.

"I wanted to grow up. I wanted to have a family. A husband who loved me for me. I wanted to grow old and die. Living one life is enough. But eternity? It's too much. When Rose found me in that alley.. Her eyes held so much understanding. She told me she knew how it felt. And I trusted it. I thought se would kill me..

"But she changed me. This is what I am now. I don't hate Rose for it. I love Rose. She's the sister I never had. But I wanted my human life. You never know what youhave until it's gone, and gone for good."

Angela was crying now.

"I am so sorry. I have no idea what it feels like to.. To even be hit, let alone raped."

"Don't. Don't be sorry. I just want to make sure that this is what you want. You want it for yourself, not for Brady. For you. But I don't know any vampire that wanted to be changed willingly."

"I do."

"You are a strange human." I laughed.

"I always have been." She shrugged. "But, I'll stay human for now. I wanted to also thank you. I didn't think it through first. I'd have to leave m family, everything. Maybe after school?" She hinted with a cheeky smile.

"We'll talk about it then." I smiled.

"Thank you, Bella." She hugged me. I stiffened, but hugged her back. She was so warm and I could feel the blood pumping through her veins.

"Welcome the our family. I hope you enjoy it here."

"You know I will, Bells." She laughed. "Thank you."

"So, what about you?" I asked. "Whats your life like?"

"My dads a preacher. My mom stays at home. I'm an only child. Our family is pretty religious."

"Are you?" I was curious. Was this all forced upon her, or dd she actually believe in it?

"Partly. I've grown up around it. It's been put in my memory that God is real, that we shouldn't sin. We should go to church every Sunday.."

"But do you want to?"

"Not really."

"Then I promise you, when you decide you want to leave here, we will. You won't have to go." She smiled brightly.

"Really?"

"Of course, honey. I am sorry, though. I shouldn't have been so rude."

"It's fine, i understand. You had my best interest at heart. Even if you don't know it. You were protecting my humanity. So I thank you for that."

"You don't know how wise you are." I smiled.

"You don't know how kind you really are." She countered.

"Would you mind.. If I asked you to be one of my bridesmaids? You would be the only human bridesmaid of course, but.."

"YES! Oh my gosh! Yes!" She yelled. I smiled widely.

"You really forgive me?" I asked.

"Heck yeah! Let's go shopping for a dress."

"I have a black dress." I said proudly.

"Black?" She questioned.

"Yeah, i don't really like white. Rose is wearing black, Alice is wearing black and white. You can wear whatever you want."

"Aren't bridesmaids meant to all wear the same dress?"

"And isn't everyone meant to be human?"

"Touche'" She laughed.

"Yeah. I never wanted to wear a white dress anyway." I laughed too.

"Can we go find a dress now? Just the two of us? I want to get to know you better. You're a good person, Bella." I felt the smile spread further across my face. She really thought that?

"I'd like that." I smiled.

"That's why i suggested it." She laughed. "Let's go shopping!"

Shorter chapter, I know. But this was just to get things back on track and show a friendship starting to build between Bella and Angela.

I wasn't actually going to write this as a chapter, but they needed interaction. I couldn't just say 'Oh, they're all good now. They worked out their differences.' and not say how.

Anyway, please review. I know it's a dramatic change. But please review.

Love you all,

BHD Xx
