I was in my room getting ready for my date with Paul. I can't choose between a dress or jeans and a T-shirt. The last time I was in a dress was my tenth birthday party. I know Paul liked me in a dress, So I guess I'm going to be in a dress. I started to curl my hair when there was a knock at my door.

"Come in"

The door opened and I saw my Mom standing there.

"Do you need help?"

"Yea" I said to her as she made her way over to me.

She took over doing my hair. As I was watching her do my hair I remembered the last time she did this was when I was ten. She was telling me how fast I was growing up and that I will be dating soon, Now look at me I'm going on my first date and she is here helping me.

"Thank you Mom" I say to her in the mirror.

"Your welcome baby, Do you want to put it up or leave it down?"

"Down"

"Alright, Do you want make up on?"

"Sure, But won't Dad get mad"

"He won't, If he doesn't see it" She said as she started to put a little make up on me.

My make up came out good it looks like I'm not wearing any I was almost done getting ready. I just have to put on the dress. I was wearing a baby blue summer dress with white flip flops.

"Thank you again Mom" I said to her as I was hugging her.

"Alright you are all ready for your date, Let me go see if your brother is ready I don't want you to be late" She said as she was walking out of my room.

I grabbed my bag as I was leaving my room to wait for Jacob down stairs. As I was making my way I heard my Mom yelling at him to hurry up. I was laughing as I walked down stairs, Jacob was always late for everything Mom should be use to that already.

I don't know if I should eat or wait because Paul really didn't say what we would be doing I just know we are going to the movies. I was sitting down on the couch watching TV as Jacob started to come down the stairs.

"I see that Mom had to chose your clothes for you"

"Yea if I had my way I would be wearing nothing" He said smiling.

"Alright that is gross Im going to throw up, Did you get the money from Dad yet" I say trying to change the subject.

"Yea I got thirty, I asked for forty but Dad said he would give me forty alright, Then he started to come after me"

I can't believe he asked for more money I could have seen the out come with that because Dad was about to have a heart attack when I told him thirty. There was a knock on the door Jacob got over there before I could get to the door.

"Hey Paul, I'm sorry but we can't go out tonight Bella got the flu, So maybe next time" Jacob said holding the door open just enough so Paul can't see in.

I push Jacob out of the way "Hey Paul don't listen to him, Are you ready?"

"Yea, What does he mean we can't go" Paul said looking confused.

"Oh, She forgot to tell you I'm your date to hot stuff, I hope you brought us flowers" Jacob said batting his eye lashes at Paul.

Oh my the date hasn't even started yet and I already want to kill Jacob. I looked at Paul and he looks pissed with what Jacob said.

"Paul I forgot to tell you Jacob is coming with us, My Dad said if I want to go out with you Jacob has to come, But look at the bright side you don't have to pay for him" I say hoping to make Jacob tagging along sound better.

"Alright I guess, Ready to go"

"Yea lets go" I say as we start to leave.

We left the house as Jacob was running up to us. He went to tell Mom we were leaving and that we would be back later. Im praying to god that everything goes OK. I don't want Jacob to mess it up. I really like Paul a lot, he's different from the other guys I know. Paul and I have this bond that I see Mom and Dad have.

"So where are we going?" Jacob said breaking the silence.

We just ignored him as we were walking to the movies. The theater was not that far from the house. It was not the best movie theater here but it was cheap and we didn't want our parents to drive us to Seattle for our date. The movie theater played old movies that were already out. It was alright with me because there are some movies I wanted to see in the theater but didn't get a chance to. Jacob on the other hand didn't like this place because he likes to see new movies not old ones.

"Are you guys for real, We are going to see a movie here" He said pointing to the place.

"No Jacob we are walking to Seattle, Yes we are watching it here"

"Well then I will see you later, I'm going to go the arcade" He said as he was walking away from us.

Paul and I looked at each other smiling. "Well I guess it's just us" I say.

"Yup just us, So what movie do you want to see?" He said as he put his arm around me. As we were looking at the movies trying to choose one.

We got done watching Terminator Salvation that was a good movie. That was a movie you must see in the theater.

"So what did you think" I asked Paul as we were walking to get something to eat.

"I liked it a lot, It was good"

We stopped at a pizza place to eat as we were waiting. I saw Jacob there playing games with his friends.

"Look Jacob is here" I said as we getting ready to sit at a table.

"Yea, Do you think he will come to us now that the movie is over?"

"I hope not because I just want us" I say.

"Yea me to" Paul said as he reached out and held my hand over the table.

Jacob came up to us when we were leaving the place to ask us for some money to play more games. Did he spend thirty bucks on games? I thought to myself. I gave him ten dollars so he would leave us alone and I told him to be at the house at nine so we can both walk in together. So it doesn't seem like he wasn't with us.

Paul and I were walking hand and hand on the beach watching the waves crash into the rocks along the pier. It was beautiful tonight the moon was full I could see it's reflection in the water, The sky filled with stars shinning as bright as I've ever seen. Or maybe it was just the way I was seeing things, Everything looks more beautiful when I'm with him.

"Bella can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"What happened to your parents?"

"I'm not really sure what happened I was so young, All I know is that Billy and Sarah took me in when I was five, They just told me that they died but they never told me how, Now that I think about it I never did ask again what happened to them, I guess because as far back as I could remember Sarah and Billy have been my parents, And I didn't want to question that."

"Don't you ever wonder what happened?"

"Yea all the time I think about them but I never want to bring it up, But maybe I should, I'm old enough to know what happened to them I think I can handle it"

We started to walk in silence again just enjoying each others company. Just as Paul stops and turns to me looking into my eyes, He lets go of my hand.

"I need to ask you something again" He said looking worried.

I nod my head letting him know that he can ask me what ever he wants to. I saw him looking ready to ask me but then he must have changed his mind. He grabbed my hands joining them in his hands.

"Bella, I like you a lot, Your different from all the other girls, And I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend"

I pause for a second, So many things running threw my mind trying to think of the pros and cons as quickly as possible. (Pros- We like each other a lot, We have a lot in common, He's super cute, We get along really well, He makes me laugh. Cons- Jacob, Would my parents approve, Am I too young to be in a relationship, If something happened between us would it ruin our friendship, Jacob again.) Then I take a deep breath and look him in the eyes as I give him an answer.
