Heyo! I saw a doctor for my hand and turns out I tore a tendon in my thumb. I didn't know it was possible to do that, but oh well. I've got a brace and that allows me to type better and it still hurts like crazy. Shout-out to tigergirl1723 and sweetandred13 for following/favoriting my story! On with the show!

So glad clumsiness isn't genetic

I woke up before Bella again and I had actually been out of the shower and dressed for at least twenty minutes when she finally rolled out of bed...and I mean that literally. I was grabbing my backpack when I heard a crash and I rushed to her bedroom to find her groaning on the floor, "Uh...you okay, Bella?"

She shoved herself up and moved her hair out of her face, "Yeah, I took rolling out of bed to a new meaning." I was able to stop my laugh as I smirked and helped her stand before she tripped over her rug on her way out the door, "**** it!"

I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped at her choice of words as Uncle Charlie yelled up the stairs, "Language, Bella!"

I made my way downstairs and let Edward in when he knocked. My uncle glowered at the vampire before grabbing his keys, "I'll see you later, Kat. Have a good day."

He shoved past Edward as I watched in puzzlement, "Okay...that was weird."

Edward sighed and explained, "He is still upset with me about hurting Bella and then her disappearing to Volterra to come rescue me."

I nodded and shrugged, "Can't really blame him. Primus knows how badly I wanted to kill ya when Uncle Charlie told us about Bella," he shot me a slightly curious glance, "Isa is practically my sister. We saw each other at least once a year and always stayed in contact...well, until she moved here and started dating ya."

I couldn't help the slight hurt fill my gaze and voice as I continued, "I tried to get in touch with her, but she ignored me or had an excuse made up. This is the first time we've really talked since she moved up here," I shook my head, "Anyway, Uncle Charlie spared no details of how Bella was. My parents even sent me up here for a couple days in April to try and get her to wake up, but she doesn't even remember me coming up. I came here with the idea of chewing you out and threatening you until the cows came home, but then I saw how much you both love each other. However, you ever hurt her like that again and I will find a way to hurt you."

He smiled slightly, "I'll be counting on that. I promise that I won't ever hurt her or leave her again. You have my word on this." I eyed him before nodding and digging in the fridge for a can of Mountain Dew.

I heard Bella stumble down the stairs and I grinned at her, "I'm so glad you inherited all the clumsiness."

She stuck her tongue out at me as she made herself some eggs for breakfast, "Did you eat, Kat?"

I took a swig of my soda before holding the can up, "I'm eating it now."

Her gaze was disappointed, "You need to eat, girl."

I shrugged and rolled my eyes, "I don't eat breakfast. I never have." She sighed and quickly ate before we all climbed into the car with Alice and Jasper. We sat in the same seats as yesterday and I leaned around Jasper to talk to the pixie, "Hey, I need to go get some more clothes and some stuff for my room. You game to go Saturday?"

She squealed in happiness and clapped her hands, "Yes! This is going to be so much fun! Esme and Rosalie will want to come too. Carlisle will come because he always comes with Esme. You'll be okay with that, right?"

I nodded and commented, "Yeah, I'm down."

She grinned and I glanced up at Jasper to see him smiling adoringly at his wife's behavior, "You wanna come too, Isa?"

My cousin shook her head, "No thanks. One shopping trip a year with Alice is enough for me. Besides, I've got work and a report that I need to work on this weekend."

I nodded and grabbed my bag from the floor before clambering out of the car and bouncing on my toes a little, "Why are you so excited?"

I grinned at Jasper, "We're finally going to use the instruments in music class today. She wants us to get in groups or pairs and plan a song to perform for the class at the end of the month." As soon as my excitement came, it disappeared with my normal anxieties of not having anybody want to join me.

I felt my anxiety disappear with a wave of calm and I shot Jasper a grateful glance, "Katherine, would you want to perform a duet with me?"

I'm sure my eyes were full of hope as I turned to Edward, "You really want to?"

He nodded with a warm smile and I grinned back, "Yeah, I'd like that." The rest of the school day went without too many incidents. Bella tripped in gym and gave herself a bloody nose, so I took her to the nurse while doing my best to not laugh, but it was extremely difficult to keep the smirk off my face.

I got the usual insults and harassment from Mike and his buddies, but I managed to ignore most of them. We went over to the Cullen house after school again and I joined Edward in raiding his sheet music before I got a sudden idea, "What about playing a duet on one piano? Nobody else will do something like that."

He seemed to think for a minute before agreeing, "Do you have any ideas for a song?" My brain sped along in my head before I leaped to my feet and hurried to the laptop he had set up in the room.

I was typing as fast as possible before I searched through the results and I crowed, "Found it! What about this one?"

Edward looked over my shoulder at the video and grinned, "Looks good. I'll play in the lower octave and let you take the higher octave."

I nodded and he wasted no time in writing the music down on some sheets (it literally only took a few seconds for him to do so) before we practiced a bit. Of course, he had it memorized and could play it perfectly, but I needed to get a feel for how it would be to play with him since I had never played on one piano with someone before. I decided to go do my homework and left him to play whatever he wanted as Bella came in the room. I was deeply engrossed in my math, so I jumped when a hand touched my shoulder. I gave a sheepish smile to Alice as she spoke, "I was right! Esme, Rose, and Carlisle want to come, so we'll pick you up at 9 on Saturday, okay?"

I nodded before blinking as she practically disappeared and I muttered, "Fraggin' pixie is going to give me heart failure."

I heard a chuckle and I jumped again before glowering at Emmett, "Relax, shortie. I don't think Alice will kill you."

I rolled my eyes at him and dryly replied, "'Shortie'? Seriously?"

He shrugged as he plopped down on the couch beside me, "Yep. Got a problem?"

I shook my head and turned back to my math as he began watching some football until Bella finally came down, "Come on, Kat. We need to get back and make dinner." I collected all my homework from where it had been spread around me as I had worked and threw it in my bag before following her out to Edward's car, where he had the doors open for us. I helped Bella make lasagna and greeted Uncle Charlie with a hug before eating quickly, so I could return to my homework.

It was probably around 2 in the morning when I threw on pajamas and looked down at my not even close to complete homework as Edward came in, "Do you want some help?"

I shook my head and gave a wan smile, "Nah, most of this isn't due till Friday. I already finished what's due tomorrow. Thanks anyway." He nodded and left me to sleep after I had pulled out an outfit for tomorrow.
