*So I'm not sure about the exact timing between the Cullen's house scene and the Diner scene right after.

I thought maybe they were the same day but then it was the next day and I'm confused lol.

So I'm sticking with it's the next day, if I'm wrong or anyone else has insight please comment here.*

Bella and I pull up to the diner the next afternoon to have dinner with dad. We get out of her truck as the high school jocks, including Mike and Tyler, playing catch just in front of said diner. We make our way to the entrance of the restaurant and are stopped by Mike.

"Arizona! Yo what's happenin?" He greets mostly just Bella causing me to roll my eyes.

"So you and- uh you and Cullen huh? I jus- I don't like it." He chuckles with supercilious smugness.

I scoff at the unwanted comment.

"Either of you actually. Ya know. They just look at you like you're something to eat." A chortle escapes my lips at the irony of the statement.

Bella just shrugs with a small smirk and we continue our way inside.

"What was that all about?" I ask my sister as we move further away from the boys outside.

"I don't know and maybe I don't want to know." She says chuckling. We go to our usual table where dad is already sat reading the newspaper.

"Sorry we're late." I say.

"That's ok. I ordered you a pasta bowl and Bells I ordered you the spinach salad. I hope that's ok."

"You should order one for yourself next time." Bella says pointedly. "Cut back on the steak."

"Hey, I'm as healthy as a horse." He retorts folding his newspaper up and setting it between him and I.

Our waitress stands there looking at dad. "Say chief, boys wanna know, did you find anything down by Queets River today?" She asks solemnly.

Almost forgot about Waylon..

Dad looks to the other table and notices a few of the towns elderly guys; friends of Waylon I can only assume. He looks back in front of him.

"Yea, we found a bare human footprint." He answers. Bella and I share a look knowing what killed Waylon. "But it looks like whoever that is, is headed east. So Kitsap County sheriff is gonna take over from here."

"Ok. I just hope they catch him fast." She replies solemnly. She moves away from our table and continues her shift.

Bella and I pick at our food in a deafening silence.

Noise can be heard out the window next to us and I can only guess it's Mike. "Looks like your friends are flagging you girls." Charlie says causing me to look up and see 'Mikey' shaking his ass at the back of Bella's head.
