(A/N here's Bella's outfit; cgi/set?id=51303789)
I woke up to light outside,
"Ugh." I complained swinging my legs out of my bed
I sat there just thinking about what I should do today I decided that today was
the day I would thank Mrs. Clearwater and Sam.
But what could I do? I decided I would worry about
that after I showered.
So without a second thought to Sam or Mrs.
Clearwater I went into the bathroom and took off my cloths I noticed for the
first time the cuts I had on my stomach from falling on the forest floor.
This of course made me mad thinking about the idiot.
It most likely wasn't a good thing that whenever I
thought about him or his family it made me want to break something which
surprised me because I am not normally a violent person but they made me want
to start throwing punches.
Shaking my head lightly and climbed into the
shower I stayed in a little longer then necessary finally I climbed out I
through on a pair of underwear and put on my bathrobe that I had just bought
yesterday it was pink silk with the word Romeo written over and
over again in gold.
I walked into my room and headed for the closet I
opened the door and was assaulted by the smell of new shoes that I had lined up
on the closet floor.
I decided that today I was going to be daring, I
was going to act like a teenager not just look like one.
I'd never really got a chance to act my age with
Renee I always felt like I had to act older to help her and then I moved her
and met the Cullen's and there is nothing like being surrounded by people who
have been alive for over 70 years to make you feel young and out of place.
I decided I would wear black and red today. Why? Couldn't
tell just felt right maybe I was becoming Goth?
I shrugged. Grabbed a black lace blouse and a pair
of red skinny jeans I took a minute to convince myself to wear a pair of short
boots that had a thick heel.
I finally put them on and spent the next half an
hour walking around my room trying to get use to them of course it took me
falling 23 times before I was confident I could walk with minimal tripping I
then walk grabbed a bag that I had put the make up I had bought I went into the
bathroom and added a little mascara and red lipstick just because I didn't wear
it didn't mean I didn't know how to wear it! In fact Renee had taught me to
apply make up at a very young age.
I walked into my room and grabbed a pair of black
teardrop earrings from a shoebox wear I kept the little jewelry I had.
I then proceeded to grab a red rubber bracelet with the words 'Bite Me' written in black and put in on my right hand I then got a black bracelet with studs on it and put it on my other hand.
I grabbed a small handbag with a big bow on it and put my driver's license, cash, etc, in it.
I was about to walk out my room until I decided my outfit needed something so grabbed a red scarf wrapped it around me neck and grabbed a black hat and put it on my head and then headed downstairs.
I looked at the clock and noticed that I had slept in to 9:30(A/N; AM) I noticed a note on the counter stated that Charlie had went fishing with Harry Clearwater. I then opened the fridge and got the leftover pizza out and ate a slice, I grabbed a coke out of the frig and I had a strange feeling that I would start depending on coke way to much but like I had been doing for the all day I just shrugged it off I then sat down on the couch and put on the weather channel while I thought about what to give Mrs. Clearwater and Sam.
I was in the mood for baking so I decided to bake them cookies and from what I could tell Sam could eat a lot of cookies and I knew Mrs. Clearwater had to kids so I would have to make a few batches for each but for some reason I had a feeling to make more for Sam which is weird because as far as I knew he could live by himself.
Normally before Edward and his family left(I noted in the back of my mind how I know felt nothing when thinking his name) I would want to know why I kept having these feelings and why suddenly I felt my personality and attitude changing and why I felt that I was waiting for something… or someone.
But I had learned the hard way that sometimes you didn't want to know the explanation for everything because you would just end up getting hurt.
I vaguely heard the whether man say it was going to be raining, big surprise and there's my old friend .
Fuck, did I just name my sarcasm? well there's yet another thing to the long list of reasons why I would be considered crazy.
I slowly got up from the couch afraid of tripping in new shoes and then I walked up the stair while holding the railing for dear life.
I went into my room and the thought occurred to me that I might not be walking in them right so I went online and searched in YouTube how to walk in heels and found a video that said to walk from heel to toe unless in grass the you go heel to toe and to do the same if you were walking upstairs.
I tried this out and found it much easier to walk in the heels and besides it's not like they were 7 inch stilettos just 4 inch thick ankle boots.(A/N If you click the link at the beginning then it says they are 5 inch heels but I decided they would be shorter! It's my story so I can do that.) I then grabbed my red leather jacket then walked downstairs and out the door with keys in hand and a new found confidence.
When I got to the store you could say people were surprised that the chiefs daughter, known for her clumsiness and terrible fashion choices strutted in with a air of confidence and was strutting in heels.
I unfortunately ran into mike who when he saw me had his mouth hanging open with his eyes as big as saucers.
I had just laughed quietly and continued to shopping grabbing chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and raisins.
I then got all the necessary ingredients to make homemade cookies.
Finally after grabbing a gallon of milk and some coffee for Charlie I checked out and was on my way home.
Once I got home I took of me jewelry and put them on the table with my jacket, scarf, and hat.
I washed my hands and then starting making the cookies 2 and a half hours later I had all the cookies done I had of course made some for Charlie and then I decided sense I would be in La Push that I mine as well make some for Billy and Jake.
So after putting away Charlie cookies I then wrapped up all the cookies into 3 different containers, Sam's obviously being the biggest but Mrs. Clearwater's and Billy's big as well. I then all my stuff off the table put it all back on then one by one put the containers of cookies into the car, I started to drive Mrs. Clearwater's first knowing where to go because I had dropped Charlie off to visit Harry.
I knocked on the door struggling to hold the container while doing it.
After a few seconds a young happy looking boy with the biggest smile I had ever seen opened the door.
"Hi,what can I do for you?" He asked.
"Oh, hi is Mrs. Clearwater here?" I asked while moving the container again to keep it from falling.
"Oh, sure one second." He said opening the door wider and turning his back on me and shouting 'Mom!' through the house.
"Um… do you want me to hold that?" He asked seeing me readjust the container for the hundredth time.
I was about to tell him I was fine but then I saw Mrs. Clearwater who I had met once before when dropping of Charlie come our way.
"Oh, Bella dear what can I do for you?" She asked in a kind voice.
"Well I wanted to thank you for helping me the other day when I got lost in the forest." I said.
"Oh! Bella, you didn't need to it was the least I could do!" She said, with a shocked expression on her face she obviously wasn't expecting to be thanked for her help.
"No problem, anyway they are just cookies." I said beaming at her,
"Seth, can you take the container from Bella so I can hug her?" She said with tears in her eyes.
I handed it to Seth and then was crushed in a hug from Mrs. Clearwater I hugged her right but moved that she was so touched by my simple gesture.
After a minute her so we stopped hugging and I told her I still had to had to visit Billy.
"Okay, well you say hi to him for me." She said giving me a quick hug.
"Of, course." I said stepping out their door.
"Don't forget about us Bella you're welcome all the time." She said.
"I won't" I promised.
"Bye!" Seth called as I headed towards my car.
"Bye!." I called over my shoulder getting into the car and with a last wave I was on my way to Billy's.
After a few minutes I pulled into the driveway.
By the time I got out of the car and had the cookies in hand Billy was outside his house smiling at me.
"Bella! What can I do for you?" He asked.
"Well, I was baking cookies today and I decided that I would stop by and give you some!" I said smiling.
I found I was doing that a lot, smiling.
"Oh, well thank you Bella!" He said grinning.
"Um, Billy I was wondering if you knew Sam Uley?" I asked as we made our way into his house and I put the cookies down on the counter.
"Yes, is there a particular reason you were wondering?" He asked grabbing a beer out of the fridge.
"Yeah, I was up here to thank him and Mrs. Clearwater. I was just at Mrs. Clearwater's and also she told me to tell you hi." I explained.
"Oh, so you need to know where he lives." He deduced. .
"Yep." I said popping the 'Y'
"Okay, one second I'll right you the directions."
"Thank you!" I said.
"No, problem Bella."
After he wrote the directions down and we talked for a bit, and asked where Jake was and was told he was out with some friends I was a bit disappointed i really liked Jacob he always left me in a good mood.
After a little while I figured that I should get going.
Billy walked or wheeled? Me to the front door, I hugged him and started walking towards me car before I got to the car I heard him call my name.
"Yes?" I asked turning around.
"I almost forgot to tell you, you look very pretty Bella." He said.
Of course I blushed but I didn't shy away from the compliment I accepted it.
"Thank you!" I said waving and then getting into my car and started following the directions that Billy had wrote down for me.
After a few minutes I pulled up to a house like all houses in La Push it wasn't the biggest but not too small.
I was a little nervous to go and knock on someone's door I had never formally met.
But I swallowed hard grab the huge thing of cookies and walked up to the house very nearly dropping the cookies a few times but managed I set the cookies down in front of the door knocked and then picked the cookies up again waiting patiently for someone to answer to the door.
A very pretty lady answered the door; I was a little surprised because I thought that or assumed that Sam lived by himself I just mentally shrugged.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" She inquired in a warm voice.
"Um, my names Bella and I was wondering if Sam Uley lived here?" I asked a little shy.
"Yes! One second dear." She said, she turned around and walked out of my view I set the cookies down again because my arms were starting to hurt.
After a minute or so I recognized Sam come to the door.
"Can I help you?" He asked curiously.
"Yes." I said picking up the cookies before continuing. "My name is Bella and you found me out in the woods?" I said but the last part turned into more of a question,
"Oh," was all he said as recognition flashed into his eyes.
"Anyway, I made you cookies!" I said grinning.
"W-what?" He asked a look of pure confusion came across his face.
"You saved me and I wanted to thank you, so I made you cookies." I said matter-of-factly.
Sam just stood there looking confused after a few moments the lady who had answered the door came back.
"Sorry about him he just isn't used to being thanked for stuff, but anyway Thank you!" She said after she was done Sam finally came out of his stupor.
"you didn't need to do that" He said his voice guarded.
A frowned a little, I already cooked the freaking cookies couldn't he just say thank you?
"And you didn't need to save me. But I could've died so I owe my life to you and I don't care if I have to do it my whole life I'm gonna make it up to you." Once I was done with my little speech both Sam and the lady I had yet to learn her name had shock written on their faces I'm sure I wasn't much better I hadn't meant to say that but once I did I realized it was true I completely owed Sam and I would spend my life making it up to him.
"Well, thank you." He said one side of his lip pulling upward slightly.
I just nodded.
"Um, not to be rude" I started,
"Yes, Bella?" asked the lady.
"Well these cookies are kind of heavy." I stated.
"Oh, of course! Sam!" she said.
Sam came and took the cookies from me and took them into the house.
I finally got a good look at her and noticed her scares I gasped.
Suddenly Sam was at her side pulling her into him and glaring at me while she just had a sad look on her face.
I realized I needed to think fast or they were both going to hate me and for some reason that idea scarred me.
"Its just that people said you were beautiful but your stunning." I said trying to sound casual.
You could see the slight blush even on her russet colored skin.
"See, Emily it's not just me people think you're beautiful." Sam said smiling down at her obviously deadly in love with her, I was a bit jealous but I pushed the thought away and focused on them.
Emily? Good now I know her name so no one will know the little fib I just told because if I didn't know her name how could I be told she was beautiful? She was still very pretty even with the scars so it wasn't really a lie.
I noticed the ring on her ring finger it was plain yet elegant very pretty.
There engaged! Good now I get it.
"Can you come in?" She asked turning back to me smiling.
"I would love to but I have a few things to do before I make dinner for Charlie." I said,
"Well, we will have to invite you both for dinner sometime." She said.
"Definitely." I said smiling.
"Sam!" I heard someone call from behind me.
I turned and saw the two guys I saw when Sam brought me back to my house.
"Oh, hi who are you?" asked one the boys they both a had brown short hair and brown eyes and muscular but the one who was asking me a question was a bit leaner.
"Bella, Bella Swan." I said.
"Oh, the chief daughter."
"The one and only." I grinned back.
"So, you're the one that got yourself lost in the forest and got everyone into a panic?" asked the other rudely.
But I could tell he was just testing me, sizing me up seeing if I would defend myself or run away.
"First of all I didn't get myself lost, some I trusted took me there and left me, second of all what gives you the right to judge me?" I shot back.
"Bitch." He said his eyes narrowing.
I heard Emily gasp and the two guys telling him to back off.
"Bastard." I said.
"Paul." He said sticking out his hand.
I took it,
"Bella." I answered knowing that he knew but not knowing what else to say.
I could tell we were gonna get along,
I turned and saw everyone else with surprised expressions.
"So I don't know your name." I said turning to the other boy/man.
"Jared." He said.
"Well its nice to meet you but I have to get going," I said.
"It was nice to meet you too, hope to see you soon." Said Jared.
"See, ya around." Paul said turning and walking into the house.
Everyone besides myself had their jaws on the ground I guess he normally wasn't that nice if you could call that nice.
"Well, bye." I said turning and getting in my car, I saw them waving in my rearview mirror.
I waved back and I was on my way.
I had a feeling that I was going to get along just fine without Fuckward.
I giggled at my new nickname for Edward, I for one rather liked it.
