FORKS, WASHINGTON: JANUARY 2005

THAT NIGHT, Astrid Hill dreamed.

She dreamt of cloudy skies and chilly winds. Carparks and crashing vans. A blonde boy and his grin. They flashed across her eyes like a movie and she, the unwilling spectator. Astrid dreamt and believed she felt the ground beneath her again, Jaspers hand on her shoulder and the breeze on her face, though she knew she was in her bed. It was almost consuming her, as the events of the day played repeatedly on endless loop in her dreams. Like her brain was trying figure out something it believed it missed, but what Astrid wasn't sure. But she dreamed and continued to dream about Jasper Hale, the van and the ground.

This was first night she would dream of him, and it wouldn't be the last.

The morning after the accident Astrid's mother insisting on dropping her off at school though she would be late for her shift. Astrid theorised that Christine felt guilty about not taking her home afterwards and was trying to make up for it, however unnecessary it was. Still, the blonde girl drew the line at her mother picking her up to and told her she would ask Bella to drive her home. Christine didn't like it but softened when Astrid told she was trying the 'friends thing' with the Swan girl. Astrid knew it was just because her mother thought she would never try the 'friends thing' with anyone and the idea of Astrid trying to be friends with Bella made Christine happier than she would ever admit. The teenager would have been offended, if wasn't kind of true. So, with the promise to her mother that she would stay out of trouble, and get a lift home with Bella Swan, Astrid was dropped off at school.
