Alice was once again walking ahead of us with a skip to her step. "I am never going to doubt you ever again." I told Edward as I leaned into him and he chuckled once again.

"I am never going to doubt you ever again." Bella told me as she leaned into my side whilst I chuckled at her naivety.

Once we reached Alice's Porsche we dumped everything into the trunk and Bella and I took our seats in the back for the drive home.

"Bella!" Alice squealed as she stomped her foot onto the accelerator once again, "Oh my gosh! We so… have to do that again."

"Sure Alice. Next time I'm making Jasper come too. And then he can carry all of your bags." Bella said sarcastically.

"Their not all mine silly." Alice replied, "I think 3 or 4 of them are yours. I'm not sure they're kind of mixed together."

"WHAT!" Bella screamed. "Alice how much money did you spend on me?" She asked in an angry tone.

"Money isn't a problem Bella. I inherited all of my parents money after their accident." I still couldn't believe Alice could talk about the death of her parents so easily.

I had been living with Carlisle and Esme since I was 14 - ten years ago, and I still wasn't comfortable talking about my parents.

"Alice I don't care. I don't want you spending your money on me." Bella declared getting rather angry.

I leaned over to whisper in her ear then. "Bella this is a fight you are likely to loose easily."

"Edward, I don't care. I don't like people spending money on me, weather they are wealthy or not, it's just not right." She told me, her voice growing louder with each word. She must be very passionate about this topic.

She crossed her arms and didn't speak for the rest of the ride home. It didn't look like Alice was going to crack either so I just sat in my seat and wallowed in the silence f the car.

When Alice pulled into the garage back at the Cullen house I got out and headed straight to my truck. I wasn't really in the mood to hang out anymore, though I knew I was over-reacting I felt very strongly on the subject. I really didn't like people spending money on me. I was just an average girl who proffered to earn things rather than just be given them because they had the money to spend.

If Alice wanted to spend all that money on herself, that was her choice, but that doesn't give her the rite to throw money away for me. And the fact that Edward had to stick his two sense in didn't really help to lower my irritation.

"Bella?" Edward called after me, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going home. I'm not really in the mood to hang out anymore. Sorry." I told him pulling my car keys out of my bag.

"Please don't go Bella." He said grabbing my arm.

"Edward let go please." I said pulling my arm away and getting into my truck.

I turned to face him as I started the ignition. His face was a mixture of confusion and hurt. His eyes were sad and I mouthed "Sorry" to him once more before driving off.

I drove to the library in Forks. It wasn't very big, but I liked to go there and just read for a few hours when I was upset.

I was reading one o my favorites, 'Wuthering Heights' when I noticed that the clock read 6:43. Charlie would be home from work and probably hungry. I quickly put the book back on the shelf and said goodbye to Angela. Angela went to Forks High School with me and now worked at the library.

When I got home Charlie called out to me. "Bells? Where have you been? I got home and there was no you, no note, no nothing. I was starting to get worried."

"Well dad. If you would have stayed home like you should have done this morning instead of sneaking off to work, then you wouldn't be worried because you would have known that I just went to Edward's house." I replied.

He huffed and walked back into the lounge room whilst I start on dinner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After dinner Charlie went back into the lounge room to watch some game on the television whilst I headed upstairs. Today had been a rough day and I was getting to feel quite tired.

I watched Bella drive out of my driveway and disappear down the long row of trees.

When I reached my room after avoiding Alice, I noticed that there was a piece of paper laying on my bed. It read…

Edward,

Here is my number.

0412-345-678.

Don't hesitate to call. I'll be waiting.

Bella xx

She must have left it here before we went out with Alice. I grabbed my cell from out of my pocket and added her number. I was going to call her but figured that maybe I should give her time to relax and cool down a bit.

Maybe later tonight, I thought to myself.

I headed back downstairs to make something to eat, and sad hello to Emmett and Rosalie who had just gotten back from house hunting. Emmett and Rosalie had been since they were both 17, so about 7 years now. Emmett had just proposed to Rose 3 days ago and Esme and Alice had already started picking out colours and dresses and what not, and Emmett wanted to move out with Rose - they were both still living with their parents - though Rosalie practically lived at our house now.

"Hey little Eddie." Emmett called to me as I passed him in the dining room.

"Emmett, I told you not to call me that." I replied as I kept walking through to the kitchen, Emmett had other ideas though.

"So… How's my new little sis?" Emmett asked as he followed me.

"She's angry at Alice at the moment." I told him truthfully. We had no secrets within our family.

"What for?" He asked a little shocked.

I only had to say one word and he would understand, "Shopping." I replied.

He nodded and left me to my meal, a ham and salad sandwich.

After I had finished my delicious meal I walked up the 3 flights of stairs and back to my room. I picked up my phone and sent a text to Bella.

Bella,

Please call me…

I'm sorry about earlier.

Edward xx

I put my phone down on the table next to my black couch and sat down. Bella replied just as I sat down.

Edward,

I'm sorry about taking off.

I over-reacted. Just about to go to bed.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Bella xx

After hearing back from Bella I felt tired myself, so I went for a shower, dressed in my flannel pajama bottoms and went to sleep.
