Bella
Hours had past so slowly since Charlie had left for fishing. I felt truly alone.
Jacob still hadn't called me back, I shouldn't have told him about the note from Edward. In fact, I should've ignored the note myself, since reading it all, I had done is worry.
"Bella! Bella, where are you?" A familiar voice came from the kitchen.
I made my way quickly down the stairs, scraping my arm painfully along the oak wood of the banister.
"Bells!"
"Lucy!" I screamed and pulled my old friend into a hug. Lucy was my best friend from Pheonix, we had known each other most of our lives. She was quite petit with long, blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. But best of all, she had the biggest, brightest and cheesiest smile I had ever seen.
"Your Mum gave me your address and I just couldn't resist visiting you!" She said, excitedly. "You don't mind, right?"
"Of course I don't! I'm so glad you're here!"
I helped Lu unpack her suitcase, then we sat on my couch and chatted about how our lives had changed in the two years we had been apart. She had a boyfriend who she shared an apartment with and was planning to marry on her twentieth birthday! At least her life was planned out and easy to handle.
When me and Lu were just six years old, we had promised to never lose contact or replace each other. It was that promise that had driven her to ask Reneé for my address so she could come and see me. She was scared of losing my friendship, and I felt exactly the same. Though, she had hardly crossed my mind for months.
"So, how's your love life, B?" Lucy asked innocently. But I disclosed this information from her and changed the subject to how she had met her boyfriend.
She had met him at a bar in Pheonix just months after I had left. He was called Derek and he worked at an estate agency, selling mansions and condos to rich, high-profile celebrities looking for a week-end get away. But Lu didn't care about the money, she loved Derek the moment she saw him.
