Disclaimer: I do not own anything, I never do sadly

It was just another boring day in Forks, Washington. I climbed out of bed after being woken by Charlie breaking a plate in the kitchen and cursing loudly. He really needed to be more careful. Looking at the calender I noticed how my birthday was looming closer. Well it wasn't really my birthday, nobody knew when the hell that was. 13th September was the day Niklaus turned me into a vampire after my idiotic sister turned herself and ran. Niki was actually really nice about it as were the rest of his living family. He taught me the ropes and let me go find my sister before he could kill her.

Calculating the years I also realised that I was due a Damon visit. Recalling old memories I got ready for the day. There was going to be a town festival, everybody was getting together to celebrate Forks birthday. I wasn't overly excited about this but at least I didn't have to spend the day in school. God how I hated school but it was a necessary part of my cover.

Once I was dressed in my usual boring clothes, jeans and a dull brown t shirt, I wandered down to the kitchen for breakfast. Charlie was sat at the table drinking coffee and eating cereal whilst reading the newspaper. He wasn't going into work today as he would be joining us at the festival.

"Morning Grams" Charlie greeted me as I searched in the back of the fridge for the jug of blood.

"Good Morning Charlie" I replied as I poured out the blood into my favourite mug and placed it in the microwave to heat it up.

I always preferred warm blood in the morning. Watching the clock I gulped down the blood and raced over to the toaster to put some pop tarts in. Alice and Edward would be over any minute and they had no idea I wasn't human. I had just managed to fill my cup with coffee as the entered the house.

Edward and I weren't on the best of terms after the suicide incident as I like to call it. I was still angry about him leaving me and running off to get himself ripped to pieces. If that's what he wanted he should have stayed put I would have done it for him after the way he treated me. We were on a break as he called it, trying to sort through the problems. All I knew was that he didn't trust me enough to agree to turn me so I wouldn't trust him with my secret.

As I fished out the poptarts and wolfed them down, Alice was looking over my outfit disappointed. This was another part of my cover. My fashion taste was amazing I just had to seem dull and drab. It wasn't the time to draw even more attention to myself.

"Bella, brown really? That top is hideous" I secretly agreed with her

"I happen to like brown" I huffed

"Alright finish up or we are going to be late, Esme wants us to help her with all the food she made" Edward spoke for the first time

Finishing off my coffee I kissed Charlie's cheek and said good bye. Grabbing my bag by the door we walked to Edwards car and set off.

The morning passed quickly and it was soon Twelve. It wasn't so bad, there was plenty of food to snack on and music playing in the background. I was stood in a group with Jessica, Mike, Lauren, Angela and Eric as the Cullen's were being ordered around by Alice and Esme. The only tolerable person in the group was Angela, we were good friends.

Listening to Jessica rant on about a dress shop she had been in I noticed a familiar presence. I knew exactly who it was before he exited the car and my head snapped In his direction as his car door slammed. As soon as he was out of the car I set off running, at human speed of course, towards him. Squealing I launched myself into his arms and he swung me round. Everyone's attention was on us but I didn't care.

"Damon I've missed you so much" I told him as I squeezed him tight

"Missed you too beautiful" he told me with a wink.

We finally let go of each other and he looked me up and down

"Damn did you leave your fashion at my house when you left or what. I can't even see that sexy arse of yours" I couldn't help laughing as he took off his leather jacket and placed it around my shoulders.

"Cover up those hideous clothes" with that he smacked my arse and smirked "yep you've still got it"

Edward growled and everyone else seemed gobsmacked. I smacked his shoulder and told him to behave. Grabbing his hand I lead him over to the group I had just left. This was going to be fun. I could feel Jessica and Lauren's glare, this was the perfect chance to piss them off even more.

"Guys this is my good friend Damon" I introduced him but didn't let go of his hand.

There was a round of hi's from everyone and I signaled Alice to come over. I really wanted the Cullens to meet Damon but I knew they would not approve. Damon was your typical bad boy vampire. It seemed I had taught him too well, it kind of made me proud.

Alice danced over to us looking curious and confused. Ahhh she definitely had not seen Damon coming.

"I'm Alice, who are you?" She offered him her hand which he took

"Well little pixie I'm Damon, Bella's bestie for life" he answered he with a shake of the hand and a smirk

"Really, well we will have to speak about this later, drop by the house we need to talk. Esme needs me" Alice gave me a hug and danced back to Esme.

There was no way I could get out of this one damn it.

Review, what do you think? Should I continue or not?
