Sorry I haven't been uploading, but I didn't know how to continue. But now, I've got a clear picture on what will happen.

"Bella?"

I looked down from the tree branch I sat on, but I couldn't see anything. I shrugged, convincing myself that the voice was probably one of imagination.

"Bella, I know you can hear me." I gasped, this time the voice came from behind me. I clutched the branch tightly and turned my head to look at the most annoying boy in history. My younger beast of a brother, Seth, stared back at me; the look in his eyes told me he was barely holding back laughter.

Yeah, this was probably the worst part of immortality.

Enduring the never-ending torture of having an immature brother.

My expression must have resembled something of a glare as he lifted his hand up in surrender, the laughter finally escaping him. "Hey, you were asking for it; maybe you should've answered back." My eyes narrowed at his carefree tone and I exhaled sharply through my nose. I ignored his still smiling face and looked him in the eyes, turquoise versus chartreuse. "What do you want? In case you didn't notice, I was busy doing something," I lied, hoping he'd leave me be. He stared me down, all joking signs gone. "What could you have possibly been doing that makes you,"-he used air quotes-"busy?"

"Breathing."

"Really? You'd call 'breathing' busy work?"

Yep.

He rolled his eyes when I didn't answer, he rested the hand that wasn't holding him to the tree trunk on mine. "You know you don't have to go with me, right? I'm not making you or anything. You just say the word and we'll get out of Forks and go somewhere more secluded, like...um, I can't think of anything right now, but we will..." I chucked at his endless rambling and reached out to mess up his golden locks. He grimaced at my chance to distract him and I nodded in answer. After all, I was the older sibling, just because I couldn't handle it, it didn't mean we couldn't stay. Seth watched my face for hesitation and, when he found none, rose an eyebrow in question. "So, you gonna' give me a smile or what?" I smiled widely at his blunt sarcasim and pushed him hard enough to fall from the tree. Unfortunately, his grip on the tree was tight enough to keep him still and he smiled widely at my attempt to make him fall.

" Well, C'mon big sis, let go to high school."

Oh, boy.

What do you think will happen? By the way, after this chapter I'm going to start putting song names as the title as a theme song-type-of-thing. Alrighty, see ya later
