It is kind of cold when I wake up the next morning. So, I put a jacket on before leaving. I drive Jacob's car to Sam's, he is too busy waiting for Bella to come home.

Paul is on the couch watching tv when I enter the house. I put my jacket on the coat rack and I take a seat beside him. Paul smiles at me before he offers me the remote.

"Nah, keep it." I tell him softly. "I'm going shopping with Kim when she gets here."

"You look beautiful, today." Paul whispers in my ear before kissing me on the the cheek. "Tomorrow's Friday, would you like to go to dinner with me?"

"I would love to."

"I'll call and make reservations, dress fancy." Paul whispers before he struts away to the kitchen.

Kim and I ride up to Seattle in Jacob's car. My cell rings  and its Jacob.

"Hey, Jake." I say into the phone.

"Bella is in the hospital in Port Angeles; that red eyes James bit her and she's hurt. But she will be okay. Charlie, Renee, and then Cullen's are with her. And I want my car back."

"I'll be home later." I tell him. "Right now, Kim and I are borrowing it and we are in Seattle to shop."

Jacob sighs. "I'll call Paul, I wanna go to Sam's."

I giggle before hanging up.  Kim and I finally arrive at the mall. We go through multiple stores and buy bags and bags of things. We pile our things into the backseat of the vehicle and I drive us back to Sam's place in Pa Push.

Jacob is waiting impatiently on Sam's porch when we arrive. I smirk as he looks in the backseat and his eyes widen. I kiss my cousins cheek before I go inside. I cannot run well because I am wearing heels.

Paul smiles at me as I take a seat beside him. I snatch the remote out of his hands and I change it to Lifetime. Paul groans and puts a pillow over his face.

"If we ever date, you have to get used to watching lifetime movies with me." I tell Paul.

He grumbles and he tosses the pillow back on the edge of the couch. I wrap Paul's arm around my shoulder and I snuggle against him. He sighs in satisfaction before he holds me.

"I'm going home to help uncle Billy with supper; Jake, catch a ride with Paul or Jared."

I drive Jacob's vehicle back home. I bring my bags to my room and I put everything away. I walk into the kitchen. I see Jacob and Jared. I smile at Jared and I cut open a pack of chicken legs.

"Jared, you staying for dinner?" Billy asks as he wheels himself to the table.

"Yes, he is." I respond for him.

I open up another packet and I start to dip ten in egg wash and flour; I'm making fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and garden green beans. I start two skillets of chicken then I start cutting potatoes. I boil them then I begin boiling my garden green beans.

I tell the boys to make their plates after making mine. I sit at the end near Billy and I hand him the plate I made for him before I begin to eat my amazing cooking.  I kiss Billy's head as I gather the dishes up.

"I'll wash dishes; go to sleep, Mel." Jacob tells me.

I nod my head. I do have a date tomorrow. I go to my room and I change into some pajamas. I climb into my super comfy, twin-sized bed. I close my eyes before allowing sleep to consume me.
