" Edward?" I said just as he was leaving.

" yes, love?" he answered.

" I love you" I said smiling pulling him into a kiss.

" I love you too" he said . We broke apart the kiss and he left. Charlie was still at work. Edward was hunting , and I wasn't allowed to see Jacob. I sighed and fell back on the couch.

I had just started to flick through the channels when I heard a knock on the door. I leaped up thinking it must be Edward. I opened the door. But It wasn't Edward. I frowned.

"omygoshness!" screamed a girl about my age. She had long blond hair that fell over her eyes. She ran up to me and squeased me so tight I thought she would suffacate me.

"um….hi" I said wondering why this stranger was hugging me.

" bella! I missed you so much! God its good to see you" she released me from the hug. And brushed the hair out of her eyes.

Oh.

My.

God.

" Gill! Aaaahh! I screamed, pulling her into a hug. " god I didn't know it was you, but like wow! Look at you! Your hairs like….blonde! I love it!" I screamed.

" now theres the reaction I was looking for" she said, grinning.

"come in" I said rushing her in.

"nice house" she said looking around.

" thanks, can I get you anything to drink?" I asked.

"water?" she asked.

" sure" I headed to the kitchen leaving her in the living room. Gillian was here. Gill. Gillian was my best friend in the whole world, I left her back in phoenix. I didn't think she would ever come back. But here she was in my living room. I had missed her so much. I practicly forgot about her over all those years. I didn't know what to tell Edward. Me and her were so close before. I might of exaggerated a bit when I told Edward I never did anything fun in phoenix, like partying. I have been to my fare share of parties, ive drank, but not to much. We used to do everything together. I poured the water into a glass and headed back to the living room. I handed her the water.

" oh my god! I still cant get over the fact that your…here!" I said sitting in the arm chair.

" I know! Oh, yea, do you think I could stay here? I don't really have a place to stay…" she trailed off looking at me hopefully.

" of course you can!" you can sleep in my room!" I blurted, forgeting Edward.

" so, your…um….what the hell are you wearing?" she asked me looking at me.

" yea, I kind of changed my look ever since I left phoenix" I said. Right now I was wearing a plain green T-shirt over top of a black long sleeved shirt with jeans. My mind wondered to the old me. Always wearing skinny jeans or ripped jeans with, whatever designer stuff I could find.

" come on" said Gillian, grabbing my hand.

" where are we going?" I asked her.

" to your room" she answered.

" do you even know where my room is?" I asked her laughing. She stopped let go of my hand and turned around. She just looked at me. I sighed and started up the stairs, she followed me. I walked into my bedroom. He mouth dropped.

" Bella what is with this room?" she asked me. My wallpaper was beige my floor was wood, and my bed was purple. I laughed.

" like I said I've changed a lot" I muttered. My old room was always a mess, with drawings on the wall that I drew in permenent marker and spray paint. Gillian ran over to my closet and swung the doors open. She started pulling everything out and piling it on my bed.

" what are you doing?" I asked her.

"Bella, I refuse to be seen with you if you are going to wear this stuff" she said, pulling open my drawers and taking clothes out.

" true" I muttered. Looking at the pile of clothes on my bed. I had changed so so much. I was all of a sudden over come with emotion. Something like homesickness, but not. I missed the old me and I missed my friends. Mathew who was my skater friend. He always knew how to make me laugh. Amanda, who might have been a little on the strange side, was always there for me when I needed a friend. Thomas, who was juts well…Thomas. And of course Gillian, my best and truest friend in the whole world, she was always there for me, we were like sisters. I called her mom 'mom' she called my mom 'mom'. we lived at each others houses. Sharing clothes and everything.

" lets go" said Gillian.

"where" I said, confused.

" shopping, duh!" she yelled, grabbing my hand, again, and pulling me down the stairs. She grabbed a bag from near the front door, that I didn't see her bring in. she pulled out a pair of very skinny, skinny jeans. A white top that was baggy, it had a picture of a car on it, and she pulled out a black vest, with a pair of black converse.

"try these" she said, pushing them into my arms. I followed her back to my bedroom, where I closed the door. She sat on my bed. and started looking through my collection of books. I saw her roll her eyes. I pulled my clothes off and quickly changed into the clothes she gave me. She looked at me.

" that's better" she smiled at herself. I walked to the bathroom and applied some eyeliner, with mascara. Topped with a dark blue eyes shadow.

" yay!" squeeled Gillian from the doorway.

"lets go" I grabbed my purse and followed her outside. There in my driveway was a black convertible.

" you drove all the way here?" I asked her.

" yep" she said smiling. As we drove off.
