As we drove there, Paul glanced over at me.

"So you and Jake are pretty close?"

I tore my eyes away from the trees and dreary weather and nodded.

"Yea, we were friends since we were little. And after I moved when Charlie died, we stayed in touch through letters." I told him, although he knew some of that.

He nodded.

"How did you become friends with Jake?" I asked.

"His friends Embry and Quil. They were in one of my classes for school, and the three of us got teamed up for a project. Well since Jake's place is like Quil and Embry's home, we went there and I met Jake. He was pretty cool and then we just became friends."

I smiled at him. Jake was an easy going guy. It was something I liked most about him.

"So what car are you thinking of?" he asked as we were pulling into the dealership.

"I don't know. I definitely want something American. Something not too big, but not too small and low to the ground either." I said, getting out of the car and walking with Paul.

"Exactly what I was thinking." Jake smiled, wrapping an arm around my shoulders as I kept my hand sin my back pocket of my jeans.

I laughed and the three of us walked through the shiny glass doors of the car dealership.

We browsed around a little till Jake dragged me over to a car.

It was a Ford Escape.

I looked at it, circling the car on display.

"I like it. Not too high but not too low. Seems like a good car." I said, running my hand over the hood.

I looked over to Jake and found him smiling like a fool.

The car man came over and we went to go sign the papers.

As the man talked to Jake about all the special features and crap I looked over to find Paul.

I found him standing next to an F-150. It was a huge pick up truck that was amazingly shiny. He was talking with a sales person about the car and seemed to be taking a real interest in it.

"Bella." Jake said, looking at me.

"Huh?" I questioned and then blushed as all eyes were on me.

"Did you want to get sync? It's supposed to be really cool." Jake said.

I nodded and smiled. "Yea, it sounds cool. Doesn't it have like voice activation and stuff?" I asked the young blond man who was helping us.

He smiled and nodded. "Yes, you can play your iPod in the car, and do some other things too."

"Sweet. Sounds cool. Umm…also. See that man over there?" I asked.

The man bent over his desk a little and nodded.

"I believe he wants that car. So can you have the person who he is talking to get him the papers? I will buy it for him."

The man looked at me kind of shocked. "Yea, sure. I will go tell the man right away and get these copied." He said referring to the papers.

He got up and I watched him go.

"You are paying for Paul's car?" Jake said wide eyed.

I shrugged. "Yea, why not? He seems to be really interested in the car. Kind of like a thank you for offering me his place."

"Offering his place?" Jake asked clueless.

I laughed at him. He had this funny facial expression. It was a like a mix between being clueless and in shock.

"Yea, Paul asked if I would like to move in with him instead of Charlie's place and I said yes."

He nodded, taking it all in.

"So you are buying him a car…"

I rolled my eyes. "You can get one too if you would like Jake."

He shook his head and looked at me crazily. "Where are you getting all this money?"

I pulled out my credit card and looked at it, feeling a little guilty. "Phil. He told me to use it whenever and have fun with it. He also said it doesn't have a limit. It was kind of weird. It was like he wanted me to spend it."

Jake looked shocked. "Damn."

I laughed and was about to say something; when the man came back.

"I told the sales man and he said he would take care of it. Now if I could just have you sign here and then show me how you are paying for this."

I nodded, quickly signing my name and then giving him my credit card.

"Alright, I will just be right back. I have to go slid this through."

As we waited for the man I felt hands come over my shoulders.

"You're buying me a car?" Paul asked incredulous.

"Yup." I said, leaning back to look at him.

He looked down at me shocked. "Bella. A car? I-…you don't have to. Or need to, for that matter. I was going to buy it when I finished this summer job."

I flashed him a smile as I looked at him upside down.

"It's fine Paul. Think of it as a thank you for letting me move it."

"Damn." He whispered. I let out a laugh, thinking about how Jake just said that a few minutes ago.

"Sir." The man called for Paul.

He looked down at me and then bent down to kiss my forehead.

"Thank you." He whispered, gripping my shoulders one last time before taking off with the salesperson.

When everything was set and ready to go, I drove away with a brand new car. The guy said Paul's would be ready in about an hour, since he was getting some cool designs on the bottom.

I hopped in my new midnight blue Ford escape and shut the door.

The grey cloth interior was really nice, and the sound system looked sweet.

There was a knock on the door and I rolled down my window.

"What next?" Jake and Paul asked.

"Well I have to get some things for my bedroom, unless you have things?" I asked Paul.

He looked at me and blushed. "Well I have some things, like the basics. But I don't know if you will really want to use them. You probably want to stop by some shops and pick up some things."

I nodded and smiled. "Alright. We can we head there? We drop off Paul's car at your house and then go shopping. And when we are done, swing by to pick up Paul's car."

They both nodded and Paul smiled.

As Jake walked away, getting into his car, Paul looked at me. "Thank you again Bella."

I flashed him a bright smile and nodded. "Anytime Paul. You are my brother after all."

He walked away with a smile etched on his face and got into his car.

We dropped Paul's car off, just like we talked about, and then he hopped into the car with me.

As I followed Jake's car, Paul began messing with my radio.

"So what do you like to listen to?" he asked.

"I don't know. I'm not really picky. I'm a pretty big fan of Pop, but I like some other types too."

He nodded and started setting my presets.

"Well I know some good stations with all of those, so I will se them up."

I briefly watched as al his concentration was on my radio.

Jake turned into some parking lot, which I followed to.

We found two empty spaces next to each other and parked there.

"Welcome to Port Angeles." Jake said, locking his car as I got out of mine.

"Hmm…looks nice." I told the two as we walked out of the parking structure.

The little city was filled with lights and stores.

We first hit a store that had sheets and bedroom things.

I bought some dark purple linen bed sheets, a bulletin board, curtains and rods, a dock for my iPod, a lamp, full length mirror, and some things for a desk that Paul had at home.

The guys took me all over. It was a long few hours. I felt bad or spending a lot of Phil's money. I felt like I was going through a lot of it.

When we finally went back to the parking structure, all of our hands were full to the max.

Not only did I buy things at the bed store, but I also bought some cans of paint and brushed.

I bought 2 cans of light purple and 2 cans of the dark purple to match my sheets. I was thinking of making a design on the walls so I had to buy about 5 or 6 different sized brushes in the bag.

Jake was teasing Paul about how boring and lifeless his home looked, so

We were bought a bunch of pictures, frames and other little things for his home.

Lastly, we bought some clothes. I found out that Forks was always usually cold or rainy, and most of the clothes I owed were summer things since I lived in Phoenix.

We put everything in my car and headed off to the dealership to get Paul's car.
