We all know Edward & Bella's love story but what if there was another Swan daughter. One who lived life as if everyday could be her last, who sang as often as she spoke her mind. Who accepted all that you gave the world without judgement.

The morning after the accident was almost eerily serene, maybe because after almost dying the simple pleasure of waking up in my bed seemed luxurious. I'd spent the night cuddling with Cookie and talking with Jasper on the phone; there were also a few hours where dad was laying next to me in bed as well, which honestly was nice because I'd always loved having out father daughter moments. When we got home last night and spent over an hour placating our mother over the phone that we we're okay and that she should stay with Phil. Afterwards Bella just locked herself in her room but not without shooting me a suspicious glance. Most likely because I wouldn't back up her investigation with Dr. Cullen in the ER. But did she really expect me to be like her and disrespect my boyfriend and his family by intruding on the personal business of their home.
Either way, today we have a field trip to the botanical gardens nearby and while I'm very excited for the break from the school wide stares, I'm not really looking forward to spending all day walking around with stitches in my thigh. However the show must go on, I better get up since Bella will be driving with me today.

As I reached the kitchen I was greeted to my still grumpy sister. "So your really going to pretend that what Jasper and Edward did wasn't strange, wasn't impossible?!"
"No Bella, but what I am choosing to do is act decently and not invade on the private matters of my boyfriend and his family. I'm not with Jasper for those reasons and if - IF he chooses to share anything with me, then that will stays between the two of us because unlike you I don't feel entitled to know when to respect the boundaries placed in front of me. Now hurry up, we have to get there early for the bus,"
The entire ride to school was silent, and for that I was grateful. I turned in our permission slips to Mr. Molina who was kind enough to check in with me and how I'm feeling before heading back to my Jeep to wait for Jasper and the others. As Bella and I sat in awkward silence again, her friend/stalker Mike came over.
"Look at you both, ALIiVE," he acted as if we're zombies coming back from the grave I chose to remain silent as Bella engaged in her usual socially inept pattern, but I did manage to hear the poor boy awkwardly butcher his way through asking her to prom. After he asked though, Bella was completely silent but it wasn't from shock but because she got caught up staring at the Cullen siblings. But this time she didn't look away when they noticed her.
"So what do you think?" Mike prodded again
"About what?"she finally tunned back into the conversation
"Prom, would you like to go with me?"
"Prom, with dancing, yeah no- I won't be here, I'm going to Jacksonville,"
"You can't go another time?"
"Non-refundable ticket,"
"Oh," the poor boy looked like Cookie the night I found her. At least he did until he looked up at me. Oh don't tell me-
