It was the next day at school. It was actually sunny. Bella and I were sitting on a picnic table. She was looking for Edward and I was looking for Jack. Last night, Bella had told me a story that Jacob told her while she was on the reservation. 

“They aren’t here” 

We looked at Jessica. 

“Whenever the weather’s nice, the Cullens disappear.” 

“What, they just…ditch?” 

“No. Dr. and Mrs. Cullen yank ‘em out for hiking and camping and stuff. I tried that with my parents and not even close” 

I grinned some. I could see Bella was registering this. Angela appeared out of nowhere. 

“I’m going to the prom with Eric. I took control and just asked him” 

She hugged Bella and I. 

“Are you sure you have to go out of town?” 

“It’s a family thing” 

“But Aussie is going with Jack” 

“I decided not to go.” 

Angela sat next to Bella. 

“We need to hit the stores in Port Angeles before all the good dresses get cleaned out” said Jessica. 

Bella and I looked at each other. 

“Port Angeles? Mind if Aussie and I go?” 

“Yeah. We’ll need your opinions” 

This should be fun. Dress shopping. I hated shopping. 

~_~

Bella, Angela, Jessica, and I were in a dress store in Port Angeles. I was sitting across from Bella with my head leaning against the wall. I had my phone in my hand. I was texting Jack. 

Jessica and Angela came out of the dressing room. Jessica was wearing a halter top which showed a lot of cleavage while Angela was wearing a pale lavender dress. 

A group of frat guys knocked on the window. I glared at them. 

“Nice!” 

I banged on the window. “Get lost!” A couple of them jumped back and I sneered. 

“Bella? Aussie?” 

“It looks great” 

“You said that about the last five dresses” said Jesscia, 

“You’re not very good at this, are you?” 

“We just really want to check out this bookstore. We’ll meet you guys at the restaurant” 

“You sure?” 

“Yeah. We’ll see you guys in a bit” 

“Okay” 

I got my jacket on and grabbed my phone. Thank goodness she got us out of shopping. 

~_~

Bella and I were leaving the bookstore. I was flipping through the book. We went through an alleyway. We saw a couple guys and we went the other way. They followed us. They ended up cornering us. 

“Hey. Where’re you two going?” 

I clung to Bella as she took a defensive stance. When one got too close, I kicked him in places that should never be kicked. He fell to his knees. 

Suddenly, I heard tire squeals and a familiar silver Volvo and a very familiar black Camaro. 

Edward got out of the Volvo and Jack got out of the Camaro. I’ve never been more relieved to see them. I ran to Jack and threw my arms around his neck. 

His arms wrapped around my waist protectively. 

“You alright?” 

I shook my head, frightened. I clung to him. His arms tightened around my waist. 

“Get in the car” 

I looked at him. He nodded. 

I went and got in the Camaro. After a moment, he got in. He spun around and drove off. 

“H-How did you find-”

“You okay?” 

I nodded. 

“Distract me so I don’t turn around” 

“You should put your seatbelt on” 

He laughed. “You should put your seatbelt on” 

I don’t see how that was funny.
