I Wouldn't Change A Thing Chapter 2
Dear Mags,
I spent the morning of my first day in Forks unpacking and feeling sorry for myself. I really can't help it in this...town. I haven't seen Bella yet, but I'm assuming that I'll see her soon. I have the house to myself for this morning because Charlie's at work. It's too quiet here Mags. I have too much time to think about things when it's quiet, I don't like it.
I guess that I didn't tell you about the mysterious boy from the plane and the bus yet. His name's Jared and he's from La Push. It's a reservation apparently. He was nice and he was cute, he seemed to really care. But before you go on and think that he's available and think that I should date him, you should know that he has a girlfriend.
Even if he hadn't had a girlfriend, I'm not read for the humiliation of putting myself out there for guys who will only hurt me in the end. It's not worth it Mags. But if by chance I meet and amazing guy who promises that he would never hurt me, AND he keeps his promise, then we'll see about dating.
I have to go Mags, but please write me back soon. I'll miss you and I wish that I could go back but I can't.
Love, your best friend,
Bailey
"Bailey?" I heard Charlie's voice drifting up the stairs and into my room. I closed my laptop and got off of my bed and walked downstairs and towards the kitchen, where I assumed Charlie would be drinking coffee.
Once he saw me he smiled slightly and put his coffee mug down and looked at me. We didn't say anything for a while, the understanding and need for silence coming into play. But finally he cleared his throat and got my attention.
"Bells, is gonna be home soon. So...she'll be excited to see you." I nodded and walked past Charlie over the fridge. I opened it and looked inside, and then I turned back around and looked at Charlie.
"Do you want anything to eat?" Charlie looked at me and smiled more comfortably now.
"Only if you want to make something." I nodded and started pulling out some vegetables and some different kinds of sauces.
"Do you want chicken and some fried veggies?" Charlie looked at me for a minute before nodding.
"Sounds good Bailey." I nodded and pulled out some pans and pots and started on the veggies before pulling some chicken out of the freezer. I heard a door of some kind of vehicle slam and then the door open and close.
"Bella's here." I turned around towards the entrance to the kitchen and saw Bella standing there. She was taller and paler than I remember, but she still had her long, brown hair that was slightly curly. She still had brown eyes that I had always been jealous of.
"Bailey!" She screamed and then she ran over to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back but only slightly less excited to see her. I mean I was excited to see her, but I didn't want to be in Forks. Bella pulled away from me and smiled at Charlie and then turned towards me.
"I would stay for dinner, but I'm going to my boyfriend's house for my birthday." Bella said the last part like it was a disease rather than a celebration. Her smile faltered and then she put another smile on and turned towards Charlie and gave him a hug.
"I have to go and get ready. I'll be back by curfew." Charlie nodded and Bella smiled once again and then gave me a hug, before running upstairs.
"She really doesn't like her birthday does she?" Charlie shook his head and went back to drinking his coffee. I turned around and continued to work on the vegetables and the chicken. 'That makes two of us. I don't care for my birthday either.'

I was still awake in my room, when I saw headlights coming down the street towards the house. I saw two people in the truck and I recognized one as Bella, but the other I didn't. 'That must be her boyfriend.'. I saw the guy get out and then he walked around to help Bella get out. They stood there talking about something, but I couldn't make it out. But from what it looked like, it looked like they were having a mini argument.
Then they stopped and the guys leaned down and kissed her lightly at first then it got more heated. I rolled my eyes and shut off my lamp and laid down. I wasn't against having a boyfriend or being in love, it just wasn't made for me. It just wasn't.
I woke up the next morning, felling sick. I didn't want to go to school, especially where I was going to be the new kid, the new one, the fresh meat, so to speak. But against my better judgement, I got up anyway and had a shower and got dressed.
I walked downstairs and saw Bella and Charlie sitting there eating, neither one of them talking, just sitting there in silence. I sat down and smiled forcibly and said a quick good morning and started munching on some toast. Soon the pressure of the silence got to be too much and Bella said something.
"I'm going to school. Let's go Bailey." I nodded and stood up, grabbing my bag and followed Bella, saying a quick goodbye to Charlie first.
Once we got to school, Bella walked me to the office and got me my stuff for my classes. She explained where all the buildings where and where the classes were, and then she explained that I needed all of my teachers to sign a piece of paper that I had to take back to the office.
The first half of the day went by in a blur and soon it was lunch. Bella led me to here normal friends table and sat down. Her friends stared up at me, as I awkwardly stood there. I really didn't know what to do or what to say.
"Bailey, this is Mike, Eric, Jessica and Angela." I nodded and smiled lightly at them all. Mike had blonde hair and blue eyes, Eric had black hair, brown eyes and a cute smile, Jessica had blonde-ish hair and blue eyes, and she was giving me a glare. Angela was really pretty, she had long black hair and brown eyes with glasses on. She gave me a nice, warm smile, and motioned for me to sit down.
I sat down in between Mike and Bella, as people went off into their conversations. I noticed that Bella looked distant and I didn't know why until I saw her looking over to one of the tables that was empty.
I nudged her and she looked at me and then looked down at her tray of food. Soon enough the bell rang and people got up and started to walk to their respected classes. I stood up and waited for Bella, but she had that distant look in her face again. I nudged her again and she stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. I followed her out of the cafeteria and to my classes.
On the way home from school, Bella was quiet and reserved, she stuck to herself and didn't say much. When we got back to the house, she got out of the truck and I saw that same guy standing there as last night. I got out also and she started walking towards the guy.
"Bella!" She turned around and looked at me and back at the guy.
"I'll be back soon." She started walking away and the guy turned towards me and gave me a pity look before following Bella. I had no idea why he gave me that look nor did I care. I walked inside the house and into my room. I was all alone once again, and this time I appreciated it.

"Bailey? Bailey?" I woke up to someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw Charlie standing above me, concern written all over his face plain as day.
"Do you know where Bella is?" I shook my head and sat up. I rubbed my eyes as Charlie walked out of my room and down the stairs. I quickly threw on a hoodie and walked down the stirs and out of the door. I saw police cars and people standing everyone on the lawn.
"Charlie what's going on?" Charlie, and two other guys turned around and looked at me.
"Bella's missing." Charlie told me trying to be calm but it was failing. My eyes widened and I ran over to the car by Charlie.
"I'm going to try the Cullen's again." I got a confused look on my face and looked at Charlie.
"The Cullen's? Who are they? Is Bella dating one of them?" Charlie nodded and then one of the guys in a wheelchair spoke up.
"The Cullen's left town Charlie." I looked back and forth between the guys obviously feeling left out of something.
"Good riddance." I heard one of the guys mumble. I turned to my left and saw a teen boy standing there. He looked oddly familiar but I couldn't quite place him.
"Hey Bailey, I hadn't seen you in quite a long time." I looked confused and the teen beside me chuckled.
"I'm Jacob. Jacob Black." Suddenly as if a light went off in my head, I remembered. I remembered how he used to torture me and make fun of me.
"Yeah, I remember. You used to make fun of me and torture me when we were younger." Jacob chuckled again and I sighed.
"Yeah, I used to like you a lot when I was younger." I smiled slightly and looked at what I assumed was Jacob's father. He gave me a knowing smile and looked back and forth between me and Jacob.
"Charlie!" Jacob got Charlie's attention and I saw a hug guy with no shirt on carrying Bella. He was tall around 6'9" and he had short black hair and he was ripped. He had eyes that were so brown they looked almost black. Charlie ran over to him and picked Bella up and out of his arms.
"Thank you Sam." Sam nodded and Charlie started walking back towards us, when I caught Sam's gaze. He looked from me to Jacob and back to me. I got a little freaked out by his gaze, the same one that Jacob's dad gave me. I looked at Jacob, and he looked at me with the same expression of 'what is going on'.
