Hey Everybody! Thanks Matthias Stormcrow, Pinklady54, mayejrmorris, and 7HockeyStarVampireObsessed7 for reviewing chapters 10 and 11. Hehe, I got to press the 7 key and there isn't a 7 key on this computer and it's a lot of fun pressing the 7 key cause it's just a little stub between 6 and 8. And I'm done talking about the 7 key. I love y'all! I'm glad that you liked it. Here's the next chapter. Once again, I don't own anything that you've heard of before reading this story. Please review!
"Good, but make sure to pull in more on the axel. And you need to get your leg higher on the spiral. But I know you're still getting everything back." Jackie smiled at me as I finished my program for the fifth time in the hour. To say that I was tired was an understatement, but I was loving every minute of it. There was a point in time when I thought that I would never skate again. I don't think I had ever been happier about being wrong.
"Kay. Have you decided about the ending yet?" I asked her. I always hated not having an ending, even if it was just in practice.
"I was thinking about adding a few twizzles after the layback into a sliding kneel. Try it." I took a few storks before mowhaking backwards into crossovers before spinning. I went into the spin, my leg up in attitude, my back bent, and my head back. I came out of the spin before stepping forward into the twizzles. After four I kneeled down and slide to a stop.
"Pretty. Let's run the program again with that ending." She went over to the boom box as I skated to the center into my beginning pose. I skated the four minutes and 4 seconds before sliding into a kneeling position. I heard two different people clap. I didn't even have to look up to know that one was Jackie and the other was Edward. I looked at the clock, surprised that it was already eight. I was supposed to be done at seven. Of course, with a sister like Alice I knew that Edward didn't worry and didn't have to wait.
"Oh, gosh. I'm sorry I kept you so long Bella. I guess I just lost track of time. And I'm sorry Edward, for keeping you from your girl. You're one lucky guy." I was about to protest that I was the lucky one when Edward spoke.
"I know I am. Just try explaining that to this stubborn girl." I lost all colorant thought with the mix of his velvety voice and love-filled eyes. "You ready to get off Love? Esme put some dinner aside for you." I didn't even realize how hungry I was until he mentioned food.
"Yeah, just let me go change." I turned to Jackie before leaving the ice. "You're a genius. I love the program."
"I know." She smiled before pretending to glare at me. "Not what are you still doing here! Go! Go play house! Or whatever it is you do." I gave her one last smile before heading to the changing room.

"Bella! I was wondering if you were going to show up!" Esme said as I walked into the Cullen house.
"Sorry, Esme." I said, embarrassed for being so late. "Jackie and I didn't realize that it was so late. I think we would have kept going if Edward hadn't showed up." Once again I could feel the heat rise to my face.
"It's okay Bella. It's not like we waited on you for dinner or anything." She told me with a wink. The blood became even more pronounced as Edward laughed. "How was practice?"
"Great. Jackie is a genius." I told her as I heated up the food she had made for me. "I didn't realize how much I missed it."
"Well, I can't wait to see this competition. I know that you're going to do wonderful." I smiled at Esme before sitting down at the dining table that had never been used before I met Edward. I had barley sat down when Alice came rushing into the room.
"I have the perfect design for your dress…" I tuned her out as soon as I heard the words "design" and "dress". I trusted Alice. I didn't actually need to know what it was going to look like. After about a minute I started listening to Alice. "I love this song. It's perfect for you, especially now that you've met Edward." I was skating to the Vitamin String Quartet's version of Pat Benatar's We Belong. It really was perfect for me right now. "Are you even paying attention Bella!? Actually, don't answer that. I know that you're going to love it. Anyway, I'll show you the designs tomorrow" With that dance she danced out of the room. I turned to Edward and Esme.
"What just happened?" I asked, more than slightly confused. They didn't even bother answering, they just laughed at me. My brain was too tired to even argue about them laughing. I just rolled my eyes and finished my dinner before heading up stairs and collapsing on my bed.

"Bella! Wake up! We have school today!" A hyperactive pixie said as she jumped on my bed. "Come on! I'm dressing you today! You don't want to be late."
"Go away." I grumbled. "I don't wanna play Bella Barbie." I closed my eyes and was about to go to sleep when my covers disappeared. "ALICE!"
"What?!" It's almost six and you have to be perfect today!" I just started at her.
"I'm sorry. Did you say almost six?As in the morning?!" My alarm didn't even start to go off until six. I normally didn't get up until seven.
"Yes! I wanted to get you up early, but Edward wouldn't let me." I vaguely wondered where my boyfriend was and why he wasn't protecting me from the evil pixie. Before I could ask Alice she answered my question. "Emmett pulled him away. I'm surprised that him doing that didn't wake you up. They were pretty loud…"
Even though I wanted to go back to sleep I knew that there was no way I would be able too, not without Edward and with the annoying pixie. I groaned and threw my legs over the edge of the bed. Alice squealed and ran off. I was assuming she was going to get her torture products. I groaned again before hopping in the shower.

I was glad that I had homeschooled when I was a competitive skater before. I didn't think that I would have been able to survive this. The only reason that I was still here today was the fact that the rink was here and the Edward and my family were helping me get through everything. I seriously thought that they were going to kill someone today. I think that I'd had to calm Edward down more today than the rest of our time together. Although part of me was touched that they wanted to protect me from something so small. I didn't mind them trying to protect me when it didn't mean that they could die, like all the other times.
"It's okay! I've heard worse, it doesn't bother me" I told Edward once again as he heard some of the things that Lauren had said to me today. It did bother me a little, but I knew that it really didn't mean anything.
"It did bother you." Jasper growled. Stupid empath. He smiled a little at what I could only assume was my annoyance.
"Not helping." I told him as I glared. Edward looked even angrier, if that was possible. "Edward, its fine. As long as I have you I'll be fine." He smiled at me when I said this and seemed to calm down. I couldn't wait for this day to be over.

"Bella, can I speak to you for a second?" Jackie asked me as she dismissed the class.
"What's up?" I asked her. I wasn't planning on getting off anyway, I wanted to skate more.
"I just wanted you to know that I have everything entered. I'm starting privates with some of the kids this week, but I was wondering if you wanted to help and take some? I'll give them the option, but I thought that you could help. Especially since we're down a coach. Stupid Jon." At my questioning look she elaborated. "He was having an affair with Mandy Henderson, one of the coaches in the green rink. Her husband found out and now he's scared to show his face." I rolled my eyes at this. Did people never learn? Jon had worked at my old rink with Jackie and done the same thing. Only then, the husband had actually tried to kill him. We all thought he had learned his lesson then.
"Of course he did. And I'll help out. As long as they agree to have me coach them." I told her. I loved helping people skate, teaching them about the second love of my life.
"Thanks. I've missed you Bells." I smiled at her.
"I've missed you too Jacks." I told her as I hugged her.
Here you go! I hope that you like it. I think that I'm going to take this of hiatus. I've been spending more time on writing. My Grandad's been in the hospital and he was diagnosed with cancer so it's been kind of a hard time. Anyway, please review! Quick question, do y'all understand where I got the name Ellie from? Bye!
