I am so excited for you to read this chapter! Well…not this chapter, this is just a filler. But, I am excited for you to read this chapter so you can read the next chapter which gives more info on Bella's secret past.

As the others help Shelly with her "nail issue", Jacque and I went to the drink stand to get water.

"Sooo…why are you here?" I asked.

"W-O-W! Belly, if you don't want me here just tell me!" he faked hurt.

"You know what I mean! Why are you HERE? In Seattle?"

"Dad got transferred." He said.

"Oh. Why didn't you stay with your mom?" I asked him.

"Mom's in rehab. Again."

"Oh." I was speechless. I knew Jacque's mom was a crack head before I even knew what the word meant but when the court threatened to take Jacque away from here I thought for sure she was done. I guess not.

"Yeah. Is?"

"What?"

"Why did your boyfriend's family act so shocked when you introduced me?" he asked.

"Oh. They didn't know I could skate." I answered.

"Same old Is! Graceful as can be on ice, but a fish out of water on land!" We both chuckled at that.

"You gonna try out for the Olympics?" he asked.

"I haven't thought about it. You?"

"Not without you!"

"Why not?" I asked.

"Not only are you the best, we've been dancing together since we were three!" he said this like it was obvious.

"Yeah? Well, sure why not? When and where?" I asked.

"Denver, Colorado. In about three weeks. We'll have to start practicing soon."

I nodded. We grabbed thirteen water bottles and headed back to the rink. One inside I set down the water bottles and went back onto the ice. It was so beautiful. I don't know how I stayed away.

"Bella!" someone called, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yea?" I turned around.

"We're gonna head out. You coming?" Edward asked.

"Yeah just give me a sec!" I called back.

"'Kay"

I admired the ice for a few seconds longer and then went to say goodbye with Jacque. As I was on the ice Shelly came by. I stuck out my skate. She stumbled.

"OOPS! MY BAD!" I imitated her and laughed. I was about to head out when Jacque called to me.

"Bella! Same time next week?"

"Yeah!" I answered and went out to the car. Time to face the family.
