A/N: Well, you guys asked for it and although it has been a while, a lot has happened since I first posted Ariel's 2nd chance. (Edit: I just made some changes to this as I don't think I ever explained what happened to the house after Charlie passed)

Disclaimer: I still Do Not own Anything Twilight related.

*Begin*

1 year.

That's how long it has been since I saw anyone. 10 months since I have even spoken to any of them. It was as if everyone forgot about me and although I knew this would happen, it still didn't hurt less. I thought I could handle anything thrown my way after what happened withhim, but I was wrong…so wrong.

I had to pack up the house with just Carlisle and Esme to help. Most of the stuff we sold off and then some of the stuff we left there. It was so hard having to do this without my sister, but I knew it had to be done before the house was closed up. I wanted to eventually move in here, but it wouldn't be for years. I mean Bella had the choice to move in with Edward if she wanted it when they got married or had kids, but I could just imagine Edward wanting something bigger…better than this little place.

I figured I would speak to her about the house and what we had done with all the stuff, but I never got the chance to.

No one came home for the holidays, or my birthdays, or even when I finished Junior year. I started my senior year a month ago and Esme and Carlisle were the only ones there for me. Granted I had friends in school, and I even started hanging out with the La Push boys a year ago, I really missed my sister. I hate to admit that I even missed the others, well except forhim.

After he left, I fell into a big depression. I was barely taking care of myself and eventually Esme had to go to great lengths to get me to live again. I started seeing a therapist and still like to see her to this day. I began hanging out at the beach a lot and eventually came around to the idea of hanging out with Bella's old friends. They really helped pull me together and I actually started dating again, it wasn't anything big, but I had fun with him.

I didn't think it was possible to be romantically involved with Jake, but I always found myself smiling when I was with him. The longer I spend with him, the more I wonder why I never liked him in the first place.

He still rides the motorcycle he built with Bella and even taught me to ride Bella's old dirt bike, which I am good at. He says I am a born natural and unlike Bella, I haven't been hurt. We try to go for rides once a week, sometimes I ride it to school when I am feeling angry. It helps to calm me when I ride it, and although Carlisle doesn't like it, he hasn't taken it from me yet.

We will go for a long swim in the ocean at least once a week too, of course I only get to swim in the shallow end. After Bella jumped in, the guys try to keep me as far from the cliffs as they can get me. Jake always seems to be able to get my mind out of the darkness it sometimes wonders in, but since school started, he hasn't been around. It's funny how Jake and I are when I think about the way he tried to date Bella, but knowing they never did anything settles my mind and I can always enjoy my time with him.

Lately things have been different though. He's been distant and on edge and he's gone as far as breaking up with me a few nights ago. He wouldn't tell me why, but I know it's not because he imprinted. Jake doesn't leave the reservation much and as far I know, there haven't been new visitors. I haven't been myself since I woke up and Esme is being overly protective. I haven't told her what happened, but I know she can feel it.

I feel a little more on edge since he isn't around, and I can't sleep at night. Heck I feel like I am lashing out more than I was and its starting to irk me more not knowing what is going on. I don't like being kept in the dark and Jake knows that; I just hope he can pull his head out of his ass and talk to me.

"Miss Swan?" I looked up at my history teacher and blinked a few times. "Class is over." Mr. Burns was a very nice guy and he always made sure I was ok on days like today.

"Thank-you." I collected my books and made it out the door, just as other kids came walking in. I went to my locker and put my stuff away, lunch was my favorite time of the day. I usually took my food outside to sit in the sun with my dance team, yes, I helped create a dance team. After I stopped doing gymnastics, I needed something strenuous to do. When I started feeling better, I noticed I was dancing more and then at school I found a group of girls who loved dancing as much as I did, and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, we had a coach and a squad, and we were flying around the state to participate in competitions and winning.

I waited in line before heading outside and sitting under a tree. Not too soon the rest of my friends appeared, they seemed overly happy about something. Which is something because their moods pretty much always matched my own, I think it's what made us close.

"Oh my god, Ari!" Abby gushed as they stopped next to me. Abby is my best friend, her real name is Abigail, but she hates it and has us call her Abby. It's a little creepy how much she reminds me of Alice, this girl knows everything. She always has energy, is the shortest girl in our group, has an insane obsession with shopping, and can talk a mile a minute. Her looks though are completely opposite.

Abby has long dirty blond hair that stops at her waist. Her eyes are a moss green color which darken really quick when she's angry. Her breast are bigger than mine with long legs and a small butt, she wishes she could get a breast reduction and stick some of it in her backside. I laugh whenever she says this because she mentions it so damn much. I already have the money for her for when she turns 18 in a month. I cannot wait to surprise her with it, and I know Carlisle is going to be the one to do it just to make sure it gets done right and nothing happens to her. He says he doesn't want the money, but I think it will make me feel better if he takes it.

"Your sister is here!" Her girlfriend Sienna burst out saying. I love this girl dynamo; they had the kind of relationship I hoped to have one day. The kind I did have and although it reminds me of what I'm missing, I love to see how happy they make each other. They are the type of couple that will make it in the long run, and I can't wait to be there at their wedding.

Sienna has flaming red hair with bright blue eyes. She has no breast because even at a young age she needed to have surgery to remove them. Sienna found out she had the breast cancer gene and didn't want to go through what her mother went through, so she had them removed. She doesn't regret it and has been saving up for 3 years to get fake breast. She has a tiny waist and a tiny backside with long legs, but she rocks her looks and I loved how confident she is.

"What?" I stood up not caring about my food and ran to the front of the school. I didn't believe my best friends even though they have never lied to me, we were always honest with each other. Abby and Sienna have been nothing but caring and understanding about my situation with my sister and the Cullen's since the moment I met them.

I got to the parking lot and watched as my sister, along with everyone but Rosalie, stood around my bike. It seemed like old times and this surge of anger hit me like nothing I have ever felt before. Them just popping into my life without warning me was like them popping out of my life in the same fashion. I turned on my heel and went back to my friends, sitting back in my spot and picking at my food. My friends looked at me then looked at each other.

"You ok?" Megan asked as she ate her salad. Megan is the youngest out of our group, just by a few months, but she has the sweetest soul. She is also the biggest, but we help her love herself and we help her rock the look she currently has all thanks to the beautiful words we shoot at her.

With unnaturally curly black hair and memorizing green eyes, what was not to like about her. She was so smart and had the voice of an angel. Freckles dotted her nose and cheeks, freckles which I am so jealous of because it makes her look cute.

"I don't know, but I do know I'm not ready to speak to them. Its not just Bella here, it's all of them and some girl I've never met." I pushed my tray away.

"Why do you think they're here?" She asked.

"I have no idea. Anyway, let's talk about something else, like the bonfire down in La Push tonight. You guys going?" Jake and his buddies were throwing a back to school bonfire and the girls and I were invited.

"We're in, want to get ready at my place?" Abby asked and I shook my head.

"I'm not going to change my plans just because of a bump in the road. Plus, Esme's cooking us dinner and making mimosa's and you know how much she loves to cook and bake for us. Dance practice doesn't start up for another few weeks, so let's enjoy ourselves." We threw away our trash and walked to my locker near the front office.

"You're sure you'll be fine with seeing Jake?" Megan asked knowing I was still hurt.

"It's funny because I am more than ok with it. Sure it'll be weird, but we were friends before we dated, and we'll still be friends now." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Do you know what you guys are wearing tonight?" I blocked out the girls as they discussed outfits and watched as my sister came walking into the school.

She was followed by Edward then Alice wrapped in Jasper's arms, and finallyhimholding some blond chicks hand. She was hanging on to him and kissing his cheek whilehemade my smile at her. He gave her my heart stopping smile and I instantly felt the tears in my eyes. They seemed so happy together and it tore me to pieces. He pulled her close as they all cuddled together near the front door talking with the principal.

"Please kill me now." I groaned as I grabbed out my books for my next class. I waved goodbye to the girls who weren't in the same class I was in. While they either had history or chemistry, I was in English for this period.

I was just sitting down and settling in when the phone rang. Mr. Barracks picked it up and as he spoke, I watched his eyes move over to me. When he hung up the phone, he called my name. I got up, leaving my things, and walked to the front.

"Your sister is here to pick you up." He said as he filled out a pass and collected some paperwork.

"No. Bella doesn't have the authority to take me out of school early, you can call Esme." I say before going back to my seat. Mr. Barracks looked at me like I had 2 heads before he walked back to the phone and made a call. He was on it for a good few minutes before he hung up and motioned me back to the front.

"Mrs. Cullen left the decision up to you and since you don't seem to want to leave with them, the Principal gave them passes to go with you to the rest of your classes. The Cullen's are very respective, and Dr. Cullen donates a lot of money to the school." As he said that all 6 of them came through the door, Bella made a move to come give me a hug, but I held up my hand to stop her.

"Please don't. I have class and I really need to pay attention for the test I have next week." I sat back down and opened my notebook, ready to pay attention. The smile on her face fell as did her outstretched arms. She was the same old Bella, but she was slightly skinnier and since my growth spurt over the summer, I was now taller than her.

Some of the students moved from the desk behind me so they could take that they could sit down. My body started shaking slightly from both anger and awareness. I wasn't turned on or anything, I was so annoyed that they were here, and he had the balls to be here with some other chick.

"How are your Ariel?" She asked and I just shrugged my shoulders before writing down today's date in my English notebook.

When Mr. barracks began the lesson for the day, I completely ignored them all and followed along with the teacher. I counted down the minutes in my head knowing I only had 2 classes left after this. I had art with Abby and then I had gym, but I knew I didn't really have to participate since coach had us on a no stress regiment until practices started in 3 weeks.

I could feel eyes on me and while I did my best to ignore them, it didn't stop the goosebumps from forming on my skin. Class needed to end...and quickly.
