"So the Caleb Connor saga has finally come to an end?" Emmi asked as she painted her toe nails a bright shade of red.

I nodded as I applyed some simple purple polish to my own toes. "Yeah, thank god! The whole thing was just getting so out of hand" 

Emmi laughed as she finished up her last toe and closed the bottle, "Oh, come on Bells. You know you loved it!"

I looked up at her shocked. Did she really believe that I enjoyed my boy drama? All it did was mess up my life for a few weeks AND bring down my grade point average. I mean if this costs me college...

"Tell me youre joking!" I pleaded

Emmi shook her head "Come on Bells. Two GORGEOUS guys, fighting over you! It's every girls dream!"

I shook my head and started to laugh "No Em. That's your dream!"

A frown fell on Emmis face as she put her hair up into a ponytail. "That's SO not true! I've got Justin and he's amazing!" she said, as she sent a glare my way

Rolling my eyes i answered her. "I'm not doubting your love for Justin, Em, but come on, we both know how he can be a bit... oblivious sometimes"

"Well would it kill him to get even a little bit jealous?" 

The second those words left Emmi's mouth we both erupted into laughter. 

"Okay!" she said "You win. It's my dream. You, bitch, are living my dream!"

"Well then, bitch, let me make it up to you. My mom made sundaes!"

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing. 

I reached over to my night table in attempt to shut it off. Who ever it was, they could wait, 7am on a sunday, was just to damn early. 

Once I had (finally) managed to silence my phone I turned back over and tried to go back to sleep. But, no, whoever was calling me couldn't wait, so they called again. Do I need to remind everyone that it's 7am... on a SUNDAY!!

I violently grabbed my phone off my night table and looked down at the caller I.D. 

Tanner Sexy Face

My heart dropped when I read Tanners name on my phone. What if something happened to him, what if he was dead and now someone was calling to let me know. 

Nervously I pressed the accept button and put the phone on my ear. 

"Hello?" I said, my voice still croaky

"Smelly Belly Good Morning" I heard Tanners sing song voice reply from the other end. My heart reat immedietly returned to normal. 

"Oh Tanner thank god!" I breathed "You practically gave me a heart attack! I thought you were dead!"

Tanner laughed through the phone. "What? Why?"

"Because I don't see and other logical reason to why someone would call me at 7am on a SUNDAY!"

Tanner laughed at me, forcing me to mute him for a minute before he made me really mad. 

"So, why did you call?" I asked once he had calmed down. 

"Because I wanted to spend the day with my best friend!"

A smile spread across my face, he could be so cute sometimes. 

"Alright, I just gotta shower and stuff, I'll be at the hospital in an hour!" 

"No no no!" Tanner said. "We're going out today! We're celebrating!"

"Tanner! You know you cant leave the hospital!" I muttered

"Yes I can!" 

"No you cant!" 

"Yes I can Bella! As of today. I am officially CANCER FREE! So I will be over at you in an hour!"

The happiness that filled my heart in that moment was like nothing i've ever felt before, because for the first time, I felt like all was right in the world. 

I spoke to Tanner for another few minutes before jumping into the shower. I had to get ready quick, I had alot to plan, I had to make this day amazing for Tanner. After everything hes been through, he deseved it!

Once I was showered and dressed and made up (Lip gloss and Mascara, mom's still crazy about the whole no makeup thing!) I ran downstairs and ordered 2 pizzas from the 24 hour pizza place. That was the only place making pizza this early in the morning! After placing my order and asking them to deliver it in one hour, half an hour after Tanners already gotten here, I grabbed a pan and some ingredients and decided to whip up some of my famous home made waffles... okay so theyre not famous, but Tanners a pig, he would eat just about anything, so it really didnt matter.

I was singing as i was cooking, I just couldn't help but be happy, after weeks of drama and heartache and pain, finally things were right in the world. And i for one wanted to celebrate. 

"Bella?" My mother came downstairs in her bath robe, still half asleep. I guess i was singing a little to loud.. whoops. 

"Hey mom!" I said as I lifted up the plate of ready waffles "Waffle?" 

My mother looked at me weirdly as she grabbed one off the plate. "Everything okay?" 

I nodded happily as I turned my attention away from her and back towards the waffles. "Tanners coming over"

My mother practically choked on the bite of waffle that was in her mouth. "Oh! He's better?" she asked excitedly "I mean his mother metioned the possibility last week but... Oh baby, thats amazing!"

A smile spread across my face "I planned a special day for us, so you just go back to sleep, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Honey I'm hoooome" 

I ran into the hallway when I heard Tanners voice. He was standing in the doorway, a goofy smile spread across his face. 

"Tanner!" I yelled as I ran up to him, jumping into his arms. 

Tanner caught me and brought me closer to him, enveloping me in one of his big bear hugs. "I missed hugging you Belly! I missed it real bad!"

I squeezed him one last time before dropping my legs to the ground. 

"Come on" I said as I grabbed his arm " I have alot planned for us today!"

I dragged him into the kitchen and sat him down in front of the waffles. 

"Eat!" I demanded "I made them from scratch!"

Tanner laughed as he picked one up, covered it in whip cream and stuffed the whole thing in his mouth. 

"Delicious!" he said as he picked up another "Join me!" 

We sat there eating a whole batch of waffles, and the pizza hadnt even arrived yet. But with the amount that Tanner could eat, I wasnt worried that it wouldn't be eaten. 

So I grabbed my friend, sat him in the living room and started playing his favorite movie. 

My perfect Tanner day didnt have to be something over the top or extravegant. It just had to be us!
