October 1984
𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 woke up to the ringing of her usual six-thirty a.m. alarm. turning over on her side, she reached over and turned off the alarm. after running a hand through her beautiful brunette hair, she sat up in the bed, stretched and yawned.
after getting out of bed, she turned on her radio, made her bed, and hummed along to the music, as she headed to the closet and pulled her outfit for the day, which consisted of a light blue sweater, blue jeans, and converse. after she was dressed for the day, she spritzed on a little bit of perfume, then grabbed her backpack and walked down the stairs.
"good morning." bella smiled as she walked into the kitchen and served herself a glass of orange juice.
"morning sweetheart." janet smiled as she sipped her coffee. "want some breakfast?"
"no thanks mom." bella smiled as she joined her parents at the table.
john sipped his coffee, and closed the newspaper. "you and dutch going out again tonight?"
bella nodded as she set her orange juice glass down. "yes, we have the halloween dance. i'm helping ali set up for it. i won't be home right away." she glanced to her brothers who were seated across from her. "you two have a halloween party right?"
wyatt nodded as he set his coffee cup down. "yeah, it's up in encino. you and the girls coming?"
bella shook her head as she set her orange juice glass down. "susan and barbara will probably go. ali for a fact won't go, as she's never been a party person."
"have you decided what you're dressing up as?" janet asked
"probably a princess." bella said. "ali and i went shopping for costumes yesterday after school."
john set the newspaper down, then leaned back in the chair, and held the coffee mug with one hand. "i've been meaning to ask, how's dutch treating you? does he still walk on water and all that?"
"i can assure you daddy, dutch treats me like a princess and treats me better than any of the cowboys i've rodeoed with could have ever treated me." bella smiled. "i really want to thank you for giving him a chance. it means a lot. especially since you didn't approve at first."
"bella, it's not that I don't approve. it's just when i look at that delinquent, i had a fear he was going to hurt you the way jess did. but this is your life, and i'm not going to get involved unless i have to." john said. "but your mother and i trust you're going to make the right decisions."
"thanks daddy." bella smiled, then looked at the clock. "well, i guess i better be going. i'll see you guys after school."
"all right honey." janet smiled. "love you, have the best day."
