My parents had left early today even after I had assured them I was alright; they were hesitant about leaving me alone. They were starting tot think this small town was really dangerous for me to around. I had gotten in two accidents since my arrival here over a week ago. I wasn’t so shock this would happen to me; I don’t attract danger, I’m just bad luck.

My dad was more concerned than anything because he didn’t believe my story of a car accident. It was harder to lie to him not because I felt guilty, which I did at times, but because he knew me too well. I just didn’t want to tell him or my mother about what had really happened to me. My mom, on the other hand, was convinced that if I said I was fine then I was, especially after hearing that Dr. Cullen had made sure I was alright. I guess she just wanted a doctors point of view. That’s the only other person she listens to, a doctor, no one else.

I was left alone all morning. I just stayed in bed listening to an old play list I had on my mp3. I tried hard not to fall asleep because I knew it was happened when I focused on music. What I really wanted to stay calm and relax. I needed that after my first week in Forks. My other friends had called with concerns about my new accident. Angela had called the most just to make sure I was alright. Everyone else like Jessica and Mike had stopped by the previous day and brought me some movies to keep me entertained. Eric, Nathan, and Emily had called too but they were stuck with too much school things that they hadn’t been able to stop by. I did miss them though. They were great people. This small town was starting to grow on me and I missed that one person who I had really gotten close to since my arrival, Jake.

It had been two days since I last saw Jacob. I knew he was concerned because I had at gotten ten different text messages and phone calls each day from him. Truth was that I wanted to let things cool off at La Push, especially with how Leah felt about it me. I was hoping she would eventually accept me but I didn’t that time was coming soon. Another reason was that I wanted to avoid Jake seeing me this way. I still had a couple healing scars on my cheek and the scratches on my arm, besides the one from almost getting ran over by Edward.

Edward was another distraction I had had for the past couple of days. I was amazed by this one human being. It was so strange. Not even Jake who I had only known for a couple of days was I able to feel this connection. I didn’t know what type of connection but there was something there. I could tell by the way Edward was so frighten by my presence. I hadn’t seen him since the day at his house and doubt that I would anytime soon. I tried to block him out of my memories but it was hard. I found so difficult to concentrate with out him popping up in my mind. I was nearly impossible to forget. I’ll be honest I didn’t like him how someone would like their boyfriend but there was something about him that attracted me to him.

The next song began to play and I got up from my bed. I began to search in my closet for a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I was done being stuck at home. I needed something normality in my life. I needed to see Jake. I changed quickly and grabbed my keys from the desk and walked out of my room.

As I took careful steps down the stairs, I began to hear voices coming from the living room. My body froze because I could have sworn my parents were still at work. I decided to be brave for once which in this situation was more like stupidity because I was walking towards danger, probably. I stopped at the second to last step as I heard the voices quiet down.

“Kat?” I heard a familiar voice, it was my dad. I took a deep breath and walked towards the living room.

I looked out the window and I got closer to my dad and noticed it was dark out. I found it so strange. I could have sworn it was still morning. Great, I had wasted another day. I blame my mp3, I always say I’m not going to fall asleep but I probably did and don’t remember it. Just great.
