23-S.C.B.

Turns out, it doesn't matter what I wanted. Everyone else out-voted me and we opted for watching a few movies in the Cullen's theatre before heading back to my house so Josh could pack. I was sad to see him go, but he had work and a girl waiting for him back in Cali.

"I'm gonna miss you Josh. Promise to call?" I asked a bit tearfully.

"Duh, B! I love you and stuff..."

"I love you and stuff too! Forever!" I promised.

"Forever..." He hugged me tightly before hopping up in his truck and heading off. I didnt' cry, well...one tear, but that's all. No one blamed me, Josh was my family, like they all were too. Edward wrapped one arm around my shoulder and lead me inside the house. Emmett was gone with Charlie. They had talked with Billy the night before about what to do with Jacob, and I agreed that no charges would be pressed if Jacob was sent to a rehab clinic that would also help him with his anger issues. A lot of his control problems stemmed from drug and alcohol abuse, we all knew that. I just hoped he'd get some help.

I never told anyone what really happened with Jacob, but there was a lot most of them didn't know. I wasn't sure they ever would.

A few weeks later everything had gone back to normal. Well....Alice, being Alice, did something a bit unusual.

We were all at the Cullen's when there was a knock at the door. Alice bounced up to answer it and came back a few minutes later with a huge grin on her face. She ran upstairs and came back down with a chocolate brown helmet with a pink stripe down the middle, and bounced back outside. We all followed her, wondering what the odd little pixie was up to.

Sitting in the driveway, next to her yellow Porsche, was the cutest little scooter that matched the helmet perfectly.

"I just loved Bella's bike...but I wanted something smaller so I got this! I'm following Bella's lead and naming him S.C.B.!!!' Alice chirped happily. Everyone looked completely confused at the name, except me. I burst out laughing.

"Great name Alice! I love it!"
"What's S.C.B.?" Jasper asked as he stared lovingly at his crazy girlfriend.

"Super Chocolate Bear." Alice responded in a 'duh' voice. Like everyone should know what she means.

"It's J.D.'s nickname for Dr. Turk on Scrubs." I explained.

We all spent the next couple of hours looking over the bike, making sure it was suitable and safe for our beloved Alice. I must say she did well in choosing a model. It was actually street legal, went up to 70mph and had a gas/electric option. She could charge it in the garage and ride it for about 45min and the it would run on a gasoline back-up. The tires were sturdy and wide, so balancing was less of an issue, and she didn't even have to take the special course I had to in order to get a license to ride my bike. Lucky...that thing was evil! Carlisle and Esme thought it was cute, and were fine with her having it as long as she wore her helmet.

Alice insisted on riding her scooter to school for the next few days. I thought the sight was hilarious. She looked too cute for words, but I would never tell her that, lest she unleash her pixie fury on me! Jasper told her she looked cute on it and she nearly took his head off, until he amended the 'cute' to 'sexy', although we all knew he just meant cute!

We were all sitting in the cafeteria at school eating lunch when my cell phone rang, and I answered it without a second thought.

"Hello?"

"Isabella....where are you? Where is Renee?" the voice demanded.

"Ph-phil?"
