HERES ONE WITH BELLA POV.. Im not sure where I should put it tho. Thought you should get some details on her life before she got on the road.

DISCLAIMER: IT ALL BELONGS TO S.M

~BELLA POV~

Getting of the Rez was something I always dreamed about doing but the only problem was saving money to leave and trying to finish my last year of high school. Being the oldest at home, it was my job to make sure everyone ate and had clean clothes to wear, so that meant someone had to be around to take care of grandpa Bahe'and my cousins Daniel & Sari, not that I was complaining or am complaining, I cherish very minute with them. The day I turn seventeen was a day for me to remember, and not like the other girls around, I didnt want anything big. I just wanted my family around me, which meant my uncle Phil was coming to visit and of course my brother Mike finally got time off from his job. Every since my brother turn eighteen three years ago he left for work and seems like he never has the time to come home for a long visit. Between my brother and uncle working, the rest of us at home had want we needed to be comfortable but i didnt feel comfortable using their money to live my dreams.

Anyways back to my birthday, I was glad it was thursday, so it meant spending a day or two in the city with my uncle and brother. And also a real chance to shop for food and some clothes for daniel and sari. As soon as we got close to phoenix I told daniel to text his dad to let him know we would be at the hotel in about 30 mins. Getting into traffic was alil crazy since we hit just the end of rush hour. Pulling into the parking area and getting stuff out would take a couple of mins, I was glad daniel can help me with everything, from lifting grandpa out of the car into his chair or loading the wheel chair which weighs a lot.

" danny.. can.."

" yup I got it bella. Just take grandpa inside, I know." he replied smile at me

" thanks danny, Sari grab grandpa's blanket and put it on his lap." I was saying while I lock up the car before turning around to make sure we got everything.

" way ahead of you bella. We know what to do now,duh" she said taking the overnight bags from me which left to carry my purse and grandpa's medicine bag. I smiled at them, im not sure how i would do eveything alone, they are so helpful.

"ok then just stay close and lets go check out the room. Grandpa's probably hungry now." walking thru the lobby of the hotel, the posh and snazy detail didnt faze us but all seem to notice the resturant. Walking up to the hotel desk and looking for someone to help us.

"sorry ma'am. How may I help you?" said the front desk as he came out from the back area.

"oh yes, um we're checking in, under the name Rizzou. First name Bahe' ."

"yes, a suite on the 6th floor. Does that sound alright to you, ma'am?"

" That will do, thanks" I replied, handing him grandpa's id and signing the registration paper. After getting the keys for the room, and getting into the elevator, turning to them, I gave one card to danny and sari. Looking at them I said " ok dont lose the keys and danny did you get my phone from the car.?"

" yep, right here" pulling it out of his pocket

'thanks, ok. Lets see where we are now. Alright here we go." as we got out of the elevator and alil ways was our room, walking into the massive room, I notice some bags and boxes on the table with our names on it.

"Hmm grandpa. looks like Phil got us some stuff, maybe he bought some clothes.. Ooh look a cool jacket too. Now you can give me your black one." I said smiling to him. He loves his blacket leather jacket so much he never parts with it, probably the only time is when I need to wash it. I remember when my grandma gave it to him a few years ago.

" grandbaby, you always ask but you know my answer." he said smiling back at me

"danny, sari get your boxes. We all got one." I said to them after they put the stuff in the rooms.

"cool, some new shoes. Oh here is grandpa's medicine, I think its time to give him his shot. Want me to get it ready?" I nodded. Sari walk to the kitchen to some fresh coffee for grandpa. He seem to be cold all the time these days.

"Grandpa, do you want to shower now or later.?"

Before he could answer me, someone knocked on the door. I walked over to open it, when I tried to look thru the peephole but it was black.

Huh...

Pulling the door open, to see who it was. I was crushed in a big teddy bear hug which lead to him sniffing my hair. I laughed and squeaked. My uncle grab me after mike put me back down, gave me another tight hug. I smiled at him after he let me go, Seems I took to long answering the door when danny check what was going on

" geez Bella are you ever going stop growing" uncle teased me.

" dont tease her, phil." grandpa told him. " you let my grandbaby grow as tall as she wants."

After they made their apperance, we scattered to get ready. While phil and mike helped grandpa get ready too.

" I made a reservation downstairs at 8pm for us" mike said."I know grandpa probably wants some good steak'

"alright then lets go eat." after that we had the longest dinner I can ever remember and I looked at my grandpa he looked so happy to be around his son and oldest grandson. Everyone was pretty beat so when we got back up stairs, we just said goodnight. Since phil was around he said he would help grandpa get to bed.

The next morning breakfast was alittle crazy, but still fun, I loved room service. Everyone sang ' HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me. Sari got some pictures of everyone, when danny sat by me to get one together, I smiled an looked at the camera when danny smeared frosting on my face, I screamed and * flash * talk about a perfect photo op. Everyone laughed.

It was a great way to start the weekend.

After we all ate, Mike and uncle Phil took grandpa aside to talk over some family business, whatever that meant. when they came out of the room I told them

"we were ready to go shopping" As I was giving grandpa his morning medicine when he told me that him, phil and mike were going stay behind. And it was just going be us teenagers going, looking at him I notice he look still tired. Nodded my head

" are you sure grandpa? Did you get any sleep last night? Maybe I should stay with you today, mike can take danny and sari shopping."

"No, no its ok young one. Go ahead, I will stay behind." he patted my hand. " We will meet you guys at park by the hotel at 3pm ok? Make sure you get everything we need and get yourself a present, ok?" while handing me a black card.

Since we were leaving for home tomorrow, I was glad we brought the coolers with us, it was going be pretty crowded on the ride home. Shopping for clothes for sari and danny was easy since they knew what they needed and I walk around I wasnt big on fashion so give me a pair of dickies and some rock shirts I was good to go. And food shopping is always fun with them both but today it seem like i can smell everything. finally we got done shopping i was starving.

" alright guys ready? We have to meet grandpa in 40 mins."

walking out to the car ahead of them, i needed some food, Grandpa was probably hungry too. we all got in when danny turn and asked sari.

" yea im ready. How about you sis?"

When I smelt a sickly sweet smell. Looking around thinking for the rotten smell in the car. All of a sudden i got felt the tingling down my spine like someone was watching us, quicking looking around the parking lot. Felt a overwhelming need to protect the kids. looked but couldnt find the threat to my family, although what i would do when i found the threat was beyond me. the only weapon i had on me was a pepper spray. I got in and hurry and got out of the parking lot.

As soon as we got to the park, we jumped out, walked over to where the men where sitting. I sat by grandpa when I sat by him and he smell alil different to me. Taking his hand in mine when I notice he had a braclet from the hospital. Looking up at him when I noticed tears in his eyes.

" what did they say this time, grandpa? Why didnt you tell me you had to go into today.?" I said while still holding his hands. He reach up with one hand and wiped away my tears.

" dont worry about it my lil child. Today is your day"

" No. you should have told me." I turn and said to phil. Glaring at him. " why did you have to keep it from me? I should know what is happening too"

" I tried to tell him, bella. But you know as well as I do, cant change the old mans mind when he makes it up."

I look at grandpa and he smiled at me before nodded to mike.

" bella come here.' he said. Pulling me to my feet and walking me away from everyone. I knew it was going be bad news. Mike sighed before looking up to the sky and I looked up too. " they said he has maybe a year or less left."

I felt a sharp pain in my chest. My vision blurried with tears, that was too soon, way too soon.

" No, No. its to fast... mike." I whispered

" I know. Look I wanted to tell you this this morning, I asked for a layoff. Im going come home with you guys. Your going need all the help you can get, I know danny helps out but I need to be there ok?. Plus you only have a couple of months left of high school" pulling me into a hug.

I held on to him while my tears fell down my cheeks, I couldnt lose my grandpa so soon. I knew then i had to do everything i can to make him happy, so i pulled back from mike and wiped my tears, shaking my head. i told myself there will be no more shedding tears. i had to be strong for my small family. Walking back over to grandpa and holding his hand once more.

" are you hungry, cheii? the boys peobably didnt feed you anything other than coffee right." looking at Phil, he blushed. haha i knew my uncle to well. so i suggested we go to lunch. which turned out to be a somber event.

Finally we got back to the hotel to relax for the evening, i had grandpa ready for bed and sat with him till he fell asleep. reaching up i softly traced his face. i knew he lived a full happy life. *sighing* i got up and slowing pull the chair next to the bed so that i could sit with him all night.

Sometime during the night, one of the boys put a blanket on me. i felt very warm when i woke up. muscles were aching due to sleeping in the stiff chair. oh well. time to get some coffee ready. walking out to the kitchen everything was quiet, looking at the time notice it was only 6:30 am. i got ready to start my day, the only thing to do today was shop for grocerys then head home. it was a tiresome weekend even if it started out good. i sat by the windowing looking into space when i felt a hand on my shoulders, alil startled even tho i heard noises.

" hes going be fine, bear. Dont worry, ok?"

shaking my head, i put my head down. he was right.

"why do you wake up danny and sari and tell them to get ready, i will get grandpa ready. we have to make a stop after we finish shopping" said mike, pulling me to my feet. giving me a hug before pushing me towards the other room.

I was super glad for room service, we had everything packed in the car before checking out. got the Wlamart because hey grocery prices were good there.. Everything seem brighter and smeller when we left the hotel so imagine me in the fruit aisle. It took alil longer to shop this time since i had to smell almost everything we picked out. Everyone look at me werid a couple of times, finally walking out the store and loading up the food and making sure we had everything. Looking down at my watch, wow time went by pretty quick.

"ok follow me, bella. We have to make a stop before we leave town ok?"

"Alright" climbing into the car and following him out to the street when he got on the freeway and turn off in glendale, the only thing i knew in this street was the car sales places. Not paying attention and just folling uncle Phil he pulled into a chrylser, dodge dealership. Everyone got out, i figure he probably need his ride checked out. i was standing by grandpa when the sales guy came over and shook hands with mike and uncle Phil'

" hello again guys," huh? they know him..?

"hey there joshua, so did you get the line up ready?" Phil asked

"yea, right this way." he turn to me and said " so you must be bella?"

"um yea, how are you?" i replied shaking his hand.

"good thanks for asking" he turned and started walking with my brother and uncle phil who was pushing grandpa.

Walking with Danny an Sari behind the guys, i noticed some very nice cars and trucks parked. **hmm if only..**

" Young one, come here" grandpa called out. i hurried over when he turn me towards him and said

" pick whatever color you want" Huh?

" What are you talking about grandpa?"

Mike turn me by my shoulders and pointed out to several different colors of my dream car.. The DODGE NITRO..

" O.M.G... really? are you for reals? like your not being mean and teasing me right" i turn to mike and uncle phil before looking at grandpa. they were all smiling and nodding.. i screamed and took off running. yelling at danny and sari to follow me. we went thru every single one till i knew just by looking at it i found the ONE.. A maroon, dark tinted window one..

"told you it was going be the maroon one, uncle" said mike

laughing i turn to hug them when i realize how was i going to do payments when i didnt even have a job when uncle phil shaked his head already he knew what i was thinking.

" dont worry about it, its a gift from me and mike" he said to me. " And no grandpa didnt pitch any money in. its all paid for"

"WOW, thank you guys so much" giving them both hugs.

"no thank you for everything bella" said phil.

Danny and Sari wanted to ride with me, so we all split up into separate cars and took off home. thinking to my self everything was going be good and it will all work out. but that didnt matter because in the back of my mind i had a nagging feeling, soon everything would turn upside down.

Just how much i didnt even have a clue.

A/N : So what do you think? You get only part of bella story, the beginning of the end. Oh and she is the same age as Paul.
