A New Beginning

Chapter Eighteen:

It's been about a month since Edward and I started 'dating'. Everything it way too perfect at the moment.

I keep getting the feeling that I'm neglecting Angela & Jess though. I have spent some time with them recently just not that much.

It was nearing the end of October and Leo had been told about Halloween by Jessica when she was here the other day, and he would not stop going on about it! I hadn't given in though; I just refused to talk to him about it. It was getting rather funny.

I had actually taken to hanging out with Alice quite a bit since I first went to Edward's house. She kept insisting that we go shopping, but every time she suggested it I managed to get out of it. I think she was catching onto my tactics though.

It was nearing the end of the school day on Friday when I decided that I definitely had been neglecting Jess and Angela.

Edward had met me after Math, like he had been doing every single day for the past month. It was really sweet, don't get me wrong, but it meant that I've never got to spend time with Jess and Angela anymore.

We were almost at my car, (I had begun insisting that I get to drive some of the time.) when I stalked off in the other direction. Edward caught my arm before I could get that far.

"Bella, where are you going?" He laughed slightly when I tried to pull away.

"Too see Jess and Angela. And stop laughing at me! It's not my fault I'm so weak!" He laughed again, which made me growl slightly under my breath. "Just wait here. I'll be like two minutes." He finally let go of my arm and I walked over to Jess' car.

"Hey Jess!" Jess looked up.

"Bella!" She came running over and hugged me really tightly.

"Jess, you're squishing me." I giggled.

"It's feels like so long!" She looked sad now.

"We saw each other at lunch time…" Everybody all sat on one table now, it was actually quite funny. All of my other friends just seemed so intimidated by the rest of the Cullen's. "Anyway." I came out of my line of thought. "Are you doing anything this evening?"

"No." Jess shook her head. "Why?"

"I was wondering if you and Angela wanted to come over, and we could just hang out properly and stuff." I grinned.

"That sounds like fun, Bella." Jess smiled back at me.

"You can come by the house now if you want too. I'll see you soon." I was already walking back to my car now. I went to walk around to the driver's side when Edward snaked his arms around my waist.

"What was that about?" I sighed.

"I was just asked Jess & Angela if they wanted to come round later." I smiled.

"Oh." Edward let his arms drop. I automatically turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"Does that mean you don't want me now?" He was trying to act upset, but I could see a smile pulling at his mouth.

"Of course it doesn't! You can still come! Go and ask Alice if she wants to come as well. You'll just be on your own."

"On my own?" He looked confused now. Bless him.

"As in the only guy." I laughed slightly.

"Oh."

"Does that mean you aren't coming now?" I tried to look sad.

"No. I'll still come." He hugged me again.

"You can ask you're brothers if you want too…" I laughed.

"Awesome." Edward hugged me tighter. I didn't mind, it would just be a huge like reunion thingy.

"You can hang out in the garden though."

"Okay." He sounded confused. I pulled back from the hug.

"The whole point was so I could spend more time with my friends. Guys being there just make it weird." I walked round to the driver's side of my car and got there without being ambushed on by anybody this time. I heard Edward get in the car as well, but that was some time later.

"You just went and asked everybody didn't you?" He just laughed at me. "You really need to stop laughing at me. It makes me feel bad." I sighed heavily.

"Sorry." I looked at Edward and he looked genuinely upset. Bless him, again.

"I was kidding, babe." I laughed quietly. I lent over in the car and gently kissed Edward, after I pulled away I sighed. "See."

The drive home was quite fast and by the time I got there. I swear everybody else was there. But they weren't in their cars.

I climbed out of the Mini and walked inside, everybody, and I mean everybody was sat in my living room watching TV.

"How the hell did you all get in here?"

"Spare key." Emmett just laughed at me.

"How the hell did you know where that was?"

"We're not stupid Bella."

"Well, I know everybody else isn't. I'm still trying to convince myself that you aren't Emmett." I winked at him.

"Thank you for that kind comment"

"You're ever so welcome." I smiled at him and then pointed outside. "Outside." All the boys including Edward who had walked in just looked at me. Edward then explained what I had said, and him, Emmett & Jasper just walked off outside.

My Dad still wasn't home luckily. But I was most likely going to get told off for inviting loads of people round. Oh well.

I walked into the living room and sat next to Jess on the couch. She hugged me tightly, again.

"Jess. I do need to breathe." She said a quick "Sorry" and let go. Alice then started talking and if I might add, very fast.

"You know Bella, you really do need to come shopping with us soon. Every time I ask you, you make an excuse. I'm beginning to think you don't like me." She pouted at the end. I just laughed.

"Oh yeah, Bella! That sounds like a really cool idea." Jess exclaimed. Say what now?

"See more than one person agrees with me!" Alice stood up from the floor and walked over to Jess and High-Fived her. Dang it. "Now you have to come."

"Fine." Alice started jumping up and down squealing at me.

"Ouch. Alice? Only Dogs can hear you now!" She just sat down again.

After a little while we started talking about lots of things and stuff that was happening with school and the boys and other girlie stuff really. Angela had started going out with some guy called Ben, a couple of weeks back. She was absolutely smitten with him. It was so cute.

"So, Angela?" Alice asked her. "How are things going with Ben?"

Angela blushed before she answered Alice. "Great thanks." She just smiled.

My Dad came home about half an hour later.

"Bells?"

"In here Dad." I called from the living room. Leo came bounding in and launched himself directly onto my lap.

"Momma!" He hugged me. Leo then spotted Alice and launched himself at her as well. "Aunty Alice!" Leo had taken to calling both Alice and Rosalie 'Aunty' a couple of weeks ago. They didn't both seem to mind, it was really sweet. Although, I was worried that Leo was soon going to start calling Edward "Dad" or something. That I wasn't ready for.

Leo was making his way around everybody else in the room, when he bolted outside to obviously go and see the guys.

"You seem to be having some sort of weird girlie thing going on. I'm going to go out." Charlie laughed.

"Sure, whatever. See you later."

We had started watching Titanic when the guys came in from outside, it had got past any bits that Leo wasn't aloud to see so it was fine.

"What are you watching?" Emmett made a disgusted sound.

"Titanic." Rose answered him. I swear she was sniffling a little bit.

"It's coming up to like the saddest part! I hate this film!" Alice sounded agitated.

"Why are you watching it then?" Edward asked, obviously confused.

"Because Leonardo DiCaprio is fine!" I answered and then I blushed. But Alice, Rose, Jess & Angela all agreed with me. "But also because it's just like the most amazing film, ever made."

"Titanic is not the best film ever made." Emmett disagreed.

"What is the best then? I bet you're going to say 'Star Wars' or something." I laughed. Emmett looked guilty now. "You were going to say that!"

"Star Wars is like the crappiest film ever." Jess argued. "I mean what's up with the story line? And that Darth Vader guy is actually really scary." Everybody laughed at her, except me.

"He is kinda scary actually. I hate him." I shivered. Edward had come and sat next to me and put his arm around my waist.

"How is Darth Vader scary?" Emmett asked. He was trying not to laugh.

"He just is." I answered.

"He does that weird breathing thing. It's ugh." Jess looked really scared. Emmett just laughed. That was it.

"If that's so funny to you, what are you scared of then Emmett?" I asked him.

"Why does that matter?" He obviously didn't want to answer the question.

"Because you think it's so funny about what we're scared of. Although Darth Vader isn't my biggest fear, but still."

"What are you most scared of then Bella?" Alice asked me. I just glared at her; she already knew and had found it hilarious. I was petrified of Chickens, and whenever anybody found out they just never stopped laughing at me.

"You will all laugh when I tell you." I looked at Leo who was sat next to Alice. "Don't tell them Leo." I mouthed "I hate you" at Alice.

"Don't say you hate me!" Alice looked shocked.

"Chickens are what scare me most. Are you all happy now?!" I blushed and everybody just laughed a little bit. I threw a cushion at Alice, which hit her in the face.

"How can you be scared of Chickens?" Emmett asked me, the whole time not being able to stop grinning.

"They just creep my out. You still have to say what you're scared of."

"Spiders." I laughed slightly. I had never met a guy who was scared of Spiders.

After that everybody just started discussing what they were scared of, when all of us girls suddenly looked at the TV and it was the part of the movie where Rose let's go of Jack.

"Awww" We all said together. I had started crying, naturally by now.

"Why are you crying?" Edward whispered, after putting a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"I'm not the only one crying, And because it's so sad!" I sniffed and then snuggled into Edward a little bit more.

The film finished and we had all stopped crying.

"The end part if my favourite." Jess announced.

"Definitely." I looked over at Leo who was asleep against Alice.

Just then there was a knock at the door.

"I better get that." I stood up and walked over to the door, I could hear everybody else arguing about what film they should watch next. I laughed at them under my breath.

I opened the door to see the person I least expected to see.

"Hey Bella." He said.

"Danny?"

Inside I heard everybody go deathly quiet…
