I opened my eyes and they focused on the strange ceiling above me, I felt the heat from Jake’s body next to mine and that’s when I remembered everything. That’s when I realized that I had no idea what time it was and I’m sure Alice had called my cell about three hundred times. I still had to fill her in on Edward being Jake’s ex’s baby daddy.
Carefully I pulled myself out from under Jake’s arm; luckily it seemed he was a pretty heavy sleeper. I prayed that Billy hadn’t returned or my exit would be more than awkward. I grabbed my clothes off the floor throwing them on, knowing I looked like a disheveled mess. Once I was dressed I snuck out of the room looking for paper and a pen to write Jake a note. I found a pad of paper next to the telephone and began scribbling my note.
~Jake
Went home. Call me when you wake up.
Love, Bella.
Sneaking back into Jake’s bedroom, I paused. I took in his sleeping form and realized how much I didn’t think I could live without him. Was it possible to only know someone for a short time but realize how important they are to you? I gently kissed Jake on the forehead before placing the note on the empty pillow next to him, taking one last glance I silently made my way out of the bedroom.
I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my purse and headed out the front door, only to be greeted by Leah Clearwater who was wheeling Billy up the front walk.
“Bella?” Her questioning tone caused my face to turn three different shades of red. Would she know? Would she figure it out? What kind of excuse could I make for coming out of Jake’s house?
“Hi Leah.” Looking down at the sidewalk I scampered past both her and Billy, this was not how I wanted to meet Jake’s Father. Scurrying out of his house with the obvious po...

...ing wrong?” I could feel the lump being to form in my throat.
“Jake. Listen. Bella was in a car accident.. she’s at..”
“What? Is she ok?” My voice was frantic and I was already slipping my shoes on.
“Listen to me Jake. She’s unconscious but she’s stable. She’s at Forks Community Hospital.”
I raced out of my room grabbing the keys to my dad’s truck, getting a questioning glace from both him and Leah. “Bella was in an accident..” I mumbled to them both making my way out the front door, almost forgetting Seth was still on the phone.
“I’m on my way Seth, I’ll meet you there..” I was just about to snap my cell phone shut.
“Jake!” Seth was screaming. “Edward is there.”
Anger mixed with the worry that already filled my body, I didn’t even bother to ask why when I snapped my phone shut and climbed into my dad’s truck. I was going to make it to Forks in record time.
"No you're not. It's going to be okay. Remember the four year old we saw going on?" I embraced her tighter and it was then that I realized that I'm horrible at comforting
He just turned and left without a word. I touched Lennie’s grave. The rough touch of the wood deflecting to my fingers. I walked back to the ranch. Everyone was asleep. I wanted to run away tomorrow but I couldn’t let this chance pass up. It also prevented any chance of Candy following me. I tiptoed out of the room and went straight to the woods. I made sure to mix myself in with the shadows of the trees. I saw the river and It felt like I did it...until I felt something grab me by my neck. I quickly got flipped over and pushed to the ground.
“Yes, it is me, no need to whisper though.” She stated, playing around with the hem of her shirt. “I need to talk to you.” She said plainly and Philip kept blinking his eyes, wondering when she would vanish again.
On his way to town to get the sheriff, Jake comes upon Rodriguez on the road. Jake realizes who is behind his troubles, but he needs is proof. In town, Jakes meets Angela and sees Kat with Levi. A misguided confrontation ensues. Angela calls Kat out for spreading a rumor that she is pregnant. Jake punches Levi for being with Kat before he understands they are heading to the doctor’s office.
I trudged up and down the stairs, hauling the majority of my belongings behind me. As I rounded the corner, I saw her, my future roommate. Overwhelmed by panic, it took all my willpower not to turn around in that instant. Mustering
It’s late Friday night, Rachel has just finished grading papers. She leaves the school and heads for Phillies, knowing Jacob will meet her there she stops to give a homeless man some change. Little does she know, he has shed his dirty coat to reveal a beautiful suit and is wiping the grime off of his face. He wants that girl’s watch so bad he can taste it. She walks into the cafe and sits at an empty seat. The man waits a few minutes before placing a hat on his head, walking inside, and sitting as far away from the girl as possible. It’s just a matter of time.
Turning into a parking space at my apartment complex, I’m thankful my boyfriend isn’t through with classes yet. It’s only the early afternoon, so I have several hours before he will be back and before I have to somehow break the news. My mind is still swirling from the information and I’m overwhelmed with many emotions. How could something like this have happened to me? One terrible night has transpired into a nightmare that I don’t think I can ever get past. I turn the key to my door and sluggishly drag myself to my room, where I collapse into my bed. The events of that
Jenna! I couldn’t tell who was trying to wake me up. Jenna! Why were they in my room? Jenna! I feel started to feel like there was an anchor pulling me down to the ground. Jenna! I opened my eyes only to realize that I am was not in my room, but under a desk. Miss White was crouched down in front of me and telling kids to move the desks so the nurse could bring the wheelchair in. My head was being split open. I couldn’t focus on what was happening around me.
“well this isn't what I'm used to” I said, grabbing a box of beer and setting it off the side and took them out the box “ so Percy who was that girl you were talking to ?” Tyler asked I frowned “ that was my ex girlfriend Annabeth. She wanted me to come back home with her, but I told her I couldn't ” I said
“WAKE UP” Maddie screamed a few minutes later, Gracie and I are not morning people. If Maddie wasn't with us we would have never left those beds. As we arose from our beds we put on some shoes threw our hair up in a messy bun and walked straight out of the hotel not bothering to look in a mirror.
With fear we go outside and pile into the maroon truck without putting on our shoes. Alivia brought a blanket and is clinging to it like crazy. Keri drives around Osceola while we listen to some country music. We talk about whether it was the wind, or if we need to call Eric. It’s about 1 A.M. and we head back to Brianna’s house. Alivia doesn’t want to go back in the house, but Keri makes her. She still not convinced it was just the wind. Keri feels so bad for us and we end up sleeping in the living room because no one wants to go back into the bedroom. We fall asleep on the big brown couch. I am the last one to wake up. When I do Lexi tells me that it was the wind that kept shutting the door because that morning Keri went in and checked. I laugh thinking I was just scared by the
“Come back,” I yelped as I dressed quicker than I had previously thought possible. As soon as I came outside I didn’t spot him, thus I began to search. After frisking through my yard for twenty minutes, I still couldn’t find him. I’m usually a stolid boy, yet today I broke into tears.
His mind was struggling to comprehend the news that seemingly loomed in, without any warning signs. But then it all clicked, his mind verifying the facts presented to him.. The mysterious new “friends” of his parents that had started invading his home more and more. Potential buyers of his house. His mom’s newfound frugality and how she had been meticulously clipping a plethora of coupons recently. She was saving to buy a new home. His dad working more and more and never being home. He was trying to escape the reality that they were moving. His mom’s urging to get him on social media. She wanted him to meet new friends. All of this added up to the stark, new reality. He was leaving Milwaukee, the only home he had ever know. He was leaving Nick, Chris, and Ryan, his best friends since he was six. But know it was all gone. Because of his ignorant and mindless parents. David couldn’t bear the sight of the viciously evil people who had ruined his humdrum, but still good life, so he ran out of the house, hurtling through the streets of Milwaukee with no destination on his mind, only hearing the endless drone of cars passing by
I slowly shifted toward the group, seeking the comfort and reassurance of the herd. As I approached the them, I cautiously I nudged one of my friends, “What’s wrong with Shayla?” I
“Ashley are you ok” I said quickly trying to hide somewhere safe. I ended up hiding behind a tipped over desk with papers and folders
