Bella, what are those?

6

It's been about a week, since I talked about everything with Angela and I still don't know what I wanted to do. Alice and I had been getting closer, she had asked me for my number and seemed surprised when I said yes. I had met her sister, Rosalie, who seemed nice. And one of her brothers, Emmett, who I really liked. I hadn't met her other brothers.

I woke up, thinking. It was only 6 am, and I was awake. I had been confused, thinking about all the stuff, I had been noticing about Alice. It reminded me of something my friend, Jake, told me earlier that summer. I had to move her two years ago, because of all the teasing at my old school. But, Jake had been a pretty good friend. I didn't tell him about being different. I just didn't feel like I could talk to him about that. He has a girlfriend anyway, Kay. We were pretty good friends, I just didn't feel comfortable enough to tell them about that. Maybe if I spent more time with them, I would.

He lived on the reservation, and I spent some time with him over the summer. He told me about a few, 'stories,' his dad had told him. One of them was about the Cullens, 'the cold ones.' He didn't think much of it, but some of it was starting to make sense to me. I knew I wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon. My dad was asleep, so I knew I wouldn't wake him. It was Saturday, so I knew I could just sleep late, which isn't exactly uncommon for me.

I grabbed my laptop, and started looking around for a few things. What I found, well ...................... Lets just say, I think I know what's going on now. I hadn't gone to bed that late, and needed to think about everything. By the time I was finished, my dad was getting up, and I was kinda tired. I decided to get some more sleep. Thinking about that while sleep deprived, didn't seem like a good idea, and I decided to think about it later. Maybe I could figure something out about everything then.

My dad left for work and I got up, and got ready. I didn't plan on going anywhere though, I just needed to think. Was what I found right? The more I though about it, the more I realised that ....................

My phone beeped and it was a message from Alice.

'Are you busy today?'

What do I say? How do I face her, knowing what I do? She would think something was wrong, if I said no.

"No, my dads working and I'm at home."

What was I supposed to say? I couldn't tell her the truth, I didn't even want to consider that. Even though, I'm pretty sure I'm right, I couldn't say anything, could I?

'Is it OK if I come over?'

Oh great, how do I explain all of this? She's ................... I'm going to have to explain why I've been thinking about her so much, and how I noticed all this stuff. So, I'm going to have to admit I like her and everything else I'm pretty sure I'm right about.

"Sure, it's OK."

I knew I would have to tell her eventually, but I didn't know she had seen me think about it. I didn't know that she knew everything.

She arrived 15 minutes later, and we sat on the couch, talking. She was telling me that she had gotten Bret to admit that she had a crush on Angela. That was obvious, the two of them were getting pretty close.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

I looked away, thinking.

"N..... Nothing. What did Bret say?"

Alice shook her head, she must have seen something in the way I was acting.

"Bella, I can see something is bothering you. Tell me. You can talk to me."
