A New Beginning
Chapter Eight:
It was then I realised I was falling in love with Edward Cullen, and there was nothing I could do about it.
It took a while before I could even think about driving home. I couldn't concentrate on breathing properly, let alone think about being able to drive. After a while I decided I could drive home without having too many difficulties.
As I pulled into the Driveway I noticed that Charlie still wasn't home. I was going to have start picking Leo up on my way home from school if I was ever going to spend any time with him in the evenings.
I climbed out of my car and walked inside. I wasn't in the mood for cooking; Charlie could order pizza or something. I walked into the kitchen and had a quick look through the cupboards. I really needed to go to the supermarket that could be Sunday's job. I founded some pop tarts in the cupboard and put one of those in the toaster, I was still feeling light – headed from not eating anything at lunch. I also wondered if I was feeling light – headed because of something else.
After my pop tart came up from the toaster I walked into the living room and turned the TV on and starting eating, very slowly. I flicked through the channels until I found 'Friends' on one channel. This would do.
I sat watching the TV whilst nibbling on my food. After about 20 minutes I heard the cruiser pull into the driveway, about 30 seconds later I heard Leo come bounding into the living room.
"Momma!" Leo yelled before jumping onto the couch next to me.
"Hey Baby." I said before hugging him. "How was you're day?" I needed to take my mind off things. Leo was always good at telling me about his day.
"Boring. It rained all day so I couldn't play outside, and there was nothing to do indoors either." Had it been raining all day? Funny how I hadn't noticed that. "How was you're day Momma?"
"Kinda boring too." It was only a small lie.
"Hey Bells." Charlie called from the kitchen. I hadn't heard him come in.
"Hey Ch-Dad." I wasn't allowed to call him Charlie to his face.
"Not cooking tonight?" Charlie seemed kinda pleased at this.
"Why? Is my cooking that bad?" I tried to make it look as if I was sad, but I laughed at the end of the sentence. "I can't be bothered. I just figured you would order pizza or something anyway."
"Are we having pizza Momma?" Leo looked very happy at the prospect of pizza. It was something we always did on a Friday with my Mom.
"You and Grandpa are. Momma isn't because I don't feel very well." It was kinda true. Plus I really wasn't hungry.
"Yay! But I'm sorry you don't feel well Momma." Leo said before he hugged me. "Can we watch 'Cars' afterwards?"
"Sure." 'Cars' was Leo's favourite film. He hasn't watched it in a while. I'm surprised it's taken this long for him to ask. "As long as we can watch 'The Lion King' afterwards." The Lion King was my all – time favourite film.
Leo bounded off the sofa and ran upstairs to find the DVD.
"Is it okay if he watches it?" I figured I should ask Charlie.
"Sure." Charlie answered.
Leo came bounding back down the stairs and sat down in front the TV. He placed the DVD in the player and came and snuggled next to me.
About half an hour later Leo was sitting in front of the TV & Charlie was sat in the other chair reading the paper. He was probably resting after eating about 5 slices of pizza. Leo had eaten with him of course.
"Momma. Why doesn't your car go that fast?" Leo asked me without taking his eyes off the TV.
"Because my car isn't a race car. That's why Leo."
"Oh. Can you buy a race car?" Leo was still watching the film whilst talking to me.
"I don't really want a race car, Leo. I don't need one."
"Oh. Okay then. Maybe you can buy me one when I'm older enough."
"Sure Leo. I'll think about that."
It was about 7.00pm when Leo's film finished. He was sitting on the couch with me again now.
"Wanna watch your film now Momma."
"It's okay. We can watch it at the weekend." That reminded me. "Leo?"
"Yeah Momma?"
"Do you remember Jessica and Angela?" Leo nodded at me and Charlie looked up from his newspaper. How it can take you an hour and a half to read a paper I'll never know.
"You & I are going out with them tomorrow." I smiled at Leo.
"Okay. That sounds like fun Momma." Leo hugged me again.
"Come on. Bed time."
"But Momma…" I laughed.
"No buts' Leo. Bed time." I picked Leo up before saying Good – Night to Charlie. I took Leo upstairs and quickly bathed him before putting his pyjamas on.
"Momma…" Leo said before yawning. "What are we doing tomorrow?"
"I'm not sure yet baby. Now go to sleep." I put Leo in his crib before kissing him on the forehead.
"Night Momma. I love you."
"Night Leo. I love you too."
I went and sat on my bed before turning my Laptop on. I figured I should check my email. When it had loaded, I check my inbox and there was one from my Mom and one from Danny.
The one from my Mom read:
How's my favourite daughter and grandson? I hope everything is good in Forks. I hope everybody is being nice to you. What's the weather like? I miss you and Leo so much Bella. It's the not the same without you. I'll talk to you soon.
Love, Mom.
Typical Mom. Asking me what the weather was like. She already knew, I just think she was trying to be funny. I replied quickly with.
Great thanks. I hope you and Phil are okay as well. Everybody is okay, I've made some friends but there are still the same people who don't seem to like me. Weather's rainy and cold. I miss you too Mom. Love Bella & Leo.
It had been a while since Danny had wrote so I figured I should read that one as well.
Hey Bella,
How is everything in Forks? So I haven't spoke to you in a while, been busy with practice and everything. How's Leo? I hope he's okay.
Speak to you soon. Danny
I was beginning to like this boy, less and less. I simple replied with.
Hey Danny,
Great thanks. Its fine, I understand. Leo is great. He loves it here. I hope everything is good with the team and stuff.
Bella.
I went on MSN for a little while after I replied to those emails. I talked to some of my friends I hadn't talked too in ages. We had one of those big conversations, there was about nine of us in there. I tried not to laugh too much, but I think I almost woke Leo up at one point.
I went to sleep at about 9pm. I was excited for tomorrow.
--
I woke up at around 7am on Saturday. I wanted to go back to sleep but figured I should get up.
I climbed out of bed and showered quickly before changing into some jeans and a blue t – shirt. Leo was awake just as I walked back into my bedroom.
"Morning Momma." Leo said before yawning.
"Morning Baby." I picked him and put him on the floor before he raced towards the wardrobe and grabbed some clothes. He actually didn't get a full outfit out so I just dressed him into some jeans and a blue and white polo shirt. He looked adorable.
We went downstairs and found that Charlie had already gone to out.
"Where's Grandpa, Momma?"
"Gone out I think." Leo looked sad now.
"Did he forget me?"
"No, of course not honey. But it's the weekend, and you're spending it with me." He looked happier now.
"Oh. Okay Momma."
I gave Leo some breakfast and ate some cereal myself before sitting in the living room and watching the TV with him.
It was around 9:30am when there was a knock at the door.
"Door." Leo said. I laughed before standing up and going to answer it.
"Hey Bella!" Jess said before her and Angela both hugged me.
"Hey Jess. Hey Ange. Isn't it a bit early? It's a Saturday after all."
"Not really. Did we wake you?" Angela looked embarrassed now.
"No! Leo and I have been up since about 7.45am." I laughed. "Come on in."
I let Jess and Angela in the door before shutting it. Leo came bounding into the Kitchen just as we came through the doorway.
"Hey Leo." Jess and Angela both said at the same time.
"Hello." He looked confused. But then he remembered who they are.
Jess went down to Leo's level and he walked over to her and hugged her.
"Awww." Jess said before hugging him back. Leo then did the same with Angela.
"What are we doing today?" Leo asked.
"Ummm." Jess looked confused.
"How about we go shopping for a while and then we can play in the Garden later? Is that okay Leo?" I answered for her.
"Okay Momma." Leo seemed happy. Jess mouthed 'Thank you' & 'Sorry' at me.
"It's fine. Leo doesn't mind shopping; my other friends took him with them all the time."
"They took ages though, Momma. You remember." I laughed.
"Yeah baby. I do remember." My friends always used to take both me and Leo shopping they could wander around a mall for hours and not get bored.
"We won't take long, Leo. We promise." Jess grinned at Leo before ruffling his hair which he then smoothed down again.
--
We were at the mall in Port Angeles for about two hours. I had found some stuff for myself and bought Leo something. It was kinda weird though because lots of people looked at me a lot. Like they hadn't seen someone walking a stroller before. Stupid people.
Jess and Angela both had about 12 bags between them, before they decided we could go. Leo was asleep by the time we were back at Jess' car.
"That was…fun." I tried to sound enthusiastic but it didn't really work.
"We can tell you don't like shopping Bella. It's fine." Angela smiled at me.
"You're a strange type of girl though Bell." Jess laughed.
"Thanks for that." I smiled at Jess.
We arrived back at Charlie's house, and went inside. I still wasn't calling it home; I hadn't been here longer enough yet to call it home. Leo was awake again and ran outside, when we had only just walked in. We had eaten at the mall so he wasn't hungry either. It was actually sunny today, for a change.
"You guys aren't bored now or anything?" I was worried.
"No! Of course not! It's been fun already today!" Jess walked out into the back yard and went and played catch with Leo for a little while, whilst me and Angela sat on the grass.
"What did Edward Cullen want yesterday then?" Angela asked.
"He just told me that he wanted to see me again before he went home that's all. It was kinda weird."
"Awww. Is that what he said?"
"Yeah…" I blushed.
"Hey Jess!" Jess looked up but continued playing catch with Leo. "I think you were right, Edward does like Bella." Angela giggled.
"See I told you." Jess grinned at me which made me blush even more. "And you like him too!!"
"And? What's wrong with it? Nothing is ever going to happen anyway…Plus I think you're wrong. I don't think he likes me…"
"Yes he does! I know there's nothing wrong with you liking him, but you have to see the way he looks at you." When does he look at me? I was confused now.
"When does he look at me?" I asked Angela this time.
"In Biology. On Friday you were passing notes and the whole time he just kept looking at you."
"He looks at you in the cafeteria as well." This was Jess. "I'm telling you Bella, this guy likes you." I was a little but happy now.
"Maybe. I don't know though." Jess laughed.
"Bella. He does like you, something will happen soon. Maybe." Haha! I laughed.
"Like he's ever going to ask me out. Jess if he asks me out, you will ask Mike out. Deal?"
Jess came over and shook my hand. "Deal. I kinda like Mike anyway." Jess squealed at the end. "I just want Edward to ask you out now so I can ask Mike out." Jess giggled.
"I want Edward to ask me out too…" I blushed.
"I knew it!" Jess and Angela both said that at the same time, which made us all giggle.
The rest of the day went by really fast. Jess and Angela both played with Leo and then we just talked about stuff a little bit whilst Leo had a sleep in the Garden.
It was about 6pm when they went home.
"Thanks for a great day. It was fun." I smiled.
"We should totally do this again!" Jess giggled. "See you Monday Bella. Bye Leo!" Jess hugged us both, before going to her car.
"Bye Bella. Bye Leo." Angela also hugged us both before going to Jess' car as well.
"Bye Bye. Leo called, and then waved.
