As I was walking out the school, someone grabbed me from behind and I wrapped their arms around my waist. I felt that their touch was cool, and I knew it had to be Jasper.

"Hey Jasper, um…can you not fly off with me today, I think I prefer driving." I said laughing.

"Aw, but that takes all the fun out of it."

"I never said I was in the mood for fun now did I?" I said and I felt him laugh.

"I suppose not. Well we can drive." He said and he took my hand and began pulling me towards Emmett's Jeep.

"J-Jasper, I have my car here today, s-so I can drive myself." I said looking longingly at my beautiful Mitsubishi Eclipse.

"Come on, there's plenty of room in the Jeep, it seats five comfortably, and only four of us will be in it, so it's ok." He said.

"Only…four?" said mostly to myself.

"Well yeah, Alice and Edward are going home in Edwards Volvo." He said inclining his head to the space next to the Jeep where, sure enough, Alice and Edward were climbing into the silver Volvo.

"Bu-But Jasper my car's here, I can't just leave it, I shouldn't, I won't." I said pulling at his grasp. This was my new freaking car we're talking about here, no way was I leaving it.

"Come on, it's quicker if we all go together." He said

I knew he could still feel my unease, because he added. "Don't worry, I'll run you back out to it, and we can both drive it back to your house later, I don't think it'll be in any harm if you keep the keys with you." He said.

"Right." I nodded.

"Bella, there's my favorite sister." Emmett said.

"Hey, isn't that me?!" I heard Alice yell from the Volvo as I climbed into the Jeep trying my hardest to avoid Edwards' gaze, if he was watching.

"Well, you used to be my only sister, but Bella's far more interesting, wouldn't you agree Jasper?" Emmett asked him looking at him through the review mirror.

"Totally." Jasper said looking down at me his topaz eyes smoldering me.

"No fair! He's biased!" Alice said. "Well, I guess their not wrong." She added. We all pulled out, and I stared sadly at my car that was growing smaller and smaller the further away we got.

We pulled out in front of the Volvo, so it was hard for me to feel comfortable when all I could think about was Edwards' eyes, and how they were probably shooting bullets at my head right now.

Nevertheless we pulled up to the Cullen mansion and we all scrambled out of the cars, well I scrambled, I noticed everyone else got out with grace.

"Come on Bells, let's go." Jasper said wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Shit." I hissed then covered my mouth, everyone stopped and looked at me, and I blushed.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked concerned.

"Charlie, I forgot to tell him." I said hurriedly. He frowned and pulled me towards to door. "You can use our phone." He said and I nodded.

The door opened before we got to it, and Esme was standing in it, and she greeted me with a hug, and Carlisle was to her right and he offered me a big smile.

"Hi." I said.

"Mom, Dad, Bella need's to use the phone." Jasper said pulling me into the house, and towards probably the only phone the Cullen's have.

My hands were shaking, and I didn't realize how nervous I was about telling him where I was until he answered it and I heard my own voice.

"Swan residence." Came his voice.

"D-dad! Hi, it's me." I said my voice shaking.

"Bella?! What's wrong?" He asked.

"N-nothing's wrong, I promise. I'm just over at a friends' house tonight and I'll be back a little later." I said, I hadn't even told him about going to Phoenix on Friday. Add that to my to-do list.

"Over at a friends' house? Great. Wait, which friends?" He asked, what a smart daddy. When it came down to it, I realized that I couldn't tell him that I was at the Cullen's, because then when I disappeared they might be in trouble for leaving at the same time…I needed to think up a lie, and quick.

"I'm…I'm at Angela's house, I'm staying for dinner too, I have my car, I'll be home a little late. I put dinner in the fridge this morning, fish, just heat it up." I said and waited.

"On a school night?" He asked after a moment.

"We're going to do our homework before dinner." I said awkwardly, I really didn't like lying in front of them, but they were all smiling, not funny I hated lying to my father. "I'll see you later, k dad?" I asked.

"Alright honey, I love you." He said.

"Love you too." I said and hung up the phone.

"Wow, Bella, that was terrible I don't know how he believed you." Emmett said laughing and I rolled my eyes as I picked up the phone again.

Jasper gave me a questioning look.

"Might as well cover all the bases." I said as I punched in Angela's number.

She picked up on the 3rd right.

"Hey Ang, hi it's me." I said.

"Oh, hey Bella! What's up, want to hang out tonight?" She asked. Wow how ironic. I thought and I saw Emmett trying hard not to laugh.

"Sorry I can't, but I was wondering if you could do me a favor." I said and wait for her response.

"Sure anything Bells." She said.

"Alright, I'm kind of caught up in something, and if my dad calls your house can you say I'm like in the bathroom or something?" I asked.

"Sure Bells…but can I ask you what's going on?" She said.

"You can, but I can't really talk right now, I'll explain later, I owe you big time!" I said.

"Yeah, I know. Alright well, I'll talk to you later Bella." She said.

"You too Ang." I said and hung up the phone and turned to Jasper and his family.

"I guess I'm not done lying either." I said miserably.

Jasper wrapped his arms around me tightly, and held me.

"It'll be alright love, I'm here." He said, and I melted into his arms.

Review or I'm done.

Cold Turkey.

Or something like that.
