AUTHORS NOTE AT THE BOTTOM GUYS!(:

Chapter 2: Those Two Words

BPOV

I woke up to hear Edward repeatedly saying my name. I opened my eyes and looked straight into the molten gold that were his. I heard Alice's smug voice saying

"I TOLD you she'd be okay." I looked over at her then back at Edward.

"Whatever" he said, then looked back at me. "Are you okay?" he asked, concern layering his features.

"I'm fine" I said sitting up. "My sides just hurt from laughing so much and I'm just a little fuzzy." Hey, it was the truth.

"Is there anything I can get for you to help you feel better faster?" Edward asked, trying his best to do something helpful. When I told him no, he settled for helping me off the floor and onto the couch.

"I do have a question for you though."

"Go on..." he said.

"What in the world possessed you to tickle Emmett?"

"Well, I was going to settle for just chasing him and making him squeal like a little girl, but then Alice had a vision that I might tickle him...and it looked fun. So, I decided to go with that." he explained. "Now, I have a question.." he said with a devilish grin on his face. I looked at him and he just smiled down at me. "Emmett! Get down here!" I looked at him questioningly and he just smiled down at me once more as Emmett walked downstairs. He grinned and his huge bear of a frame sank down on the couch next to me.

"So, why were you on the computer upstairs Em?" Edward asked slowly. Frankly I was scared to where this was going, so I decided to voice my fears.

"Emmett, if you were using it to find stuff to fap to, please just go back upstairs...and just take Rose with you this time." He laughed, not the giggle he had used earlier, but his booming bear of a laugh.

"Not at all Belly dear. I don't need a computer for that, I have everything I need for that right here," he said this as he enveloped Rose in his arms. He clapped his hands together, "Noo, you're going to love this." He rubbed his hands together. "We are going to New Jersey!"

"NEW JERSEY? WHY?" Alice shrieked. "I DO NOT LIKE THE STORE PEOPLE IN NEW JERSEY! THEY DECLINED MY CREDIT CARDS!"

"Must I remind you, that was five years ago? I highly doubt they'll remember you." Rosalie laughed. Alice sat back down but continued to mutter angrily to herself. I glanced over at Emmett.

"Well...at least we're flying." Emmett started to laugh. "We...we are flying...right?" I waited for someone to confirm that we were, in fact, flying, but my confirmation never came. And then Emmett said the two words I had been dreading most.

"ROAD TRIP!"

My mouth dropped and I slowly stood up. I had no idea what to say, but there was no way in hell I was letting myself get dragged into this.

"Well, this sounds like its going to be a family affair. Have fun you crazypants'." I then attempted to dart to the door quickly, but I guess I didn't learn anything from my encounter with James. My quick probably looked like slow motion to them. I felt a cool arm grasp my arm and then wrap around my waist. I looked up into Edwards questioning eyes.

"Oh love, you are family, you're obviously included in these plans." Edward told me, love radiating from his voice.

"Okay, I love that I'm family, but there is no way that I am spending a week, in a cramped car, on the road, with Emmett." I moaned trying to tug away from his grasp.

"You're not going to be the only one trapped with him." Edward reminded me. "Plus baby, we will probably take two cars, so none of us will be cramped with Emmett for too long." I was about to find an argument, but the a suitcase slammed on the ground next to me, causing me to yelp and jump in surprise. Yelp, because that fucking suitcase landed WAY too close to my foot.

"Get packing sis, we leave on Wednesday" said Emmett before he ran, and I mean RAN upstairs. I could hear drawers slamming as he through stuff in his bag. Today was Thursday, we had time, but okay. At least we'd be on summer vacation.

"Bella, are you hungry?" Jasper asked suddenly. I just nodded.

"How does a burger sound to you?"

"Yummy!" I told him, a burger actually sounded wonderful. Jasper turned and walked into the kitchen. I helped him prepare the burger for the oven. I was going to cook it myself, but Jasper insisted on doing it himself. I agreed to let him. Oh god, Jasper and an oven, what was I getting myself into.

HEY GUYS!

I know, I know. You all now hate me since it's been like, what two years since I updated ANY of my stories? Yeah, I'm really sorry about that….I really have nothing to say. I honestly am updating now though, as you can see. And I'm currently beta-ing for a story. I'm getting off my lazy ass guys, really, I am.

I found all my old notebooks. See the thing was. I was just really uninspired to write. For a long time. A LONG long time. So, I really am so sorry. Here's a little update.

Last year I went through my freshman year, without the help of my best friend, because she moved across country. Yeah, that kinda sucked. Then I was so busy being a dumbass freshmen and then trying to catch up on all this stuff I didn't do while I was being a dumbass freshmen that I didn't have time to write. I was being led around by some guy in my grade and basically being used by him(Lets call him asshole). Enter me realizing this and being completely heart broken here. Enter my friend starting to date this guy that I ended up liking and becoming amazing friends with here(Lets call him Awesomepants). Enter them breaking up. Sophomore year rolls around. Another year older. Enter me dating said guy above, Mr. Awesomepants, and getting in a fight with my friend over it. We're okay now. Enter me giving him everything and falling completely in love with him over the past 6 months here. Enter me being asked to beta a story sometime in here…not exactly sure when, but sometime in these past 6 months. Enter me realizing that I'm almost a Junior (idk how this is relevant but it can be fit in so whatever), and deciding writing would be a good pass time, especially over the summer here. Enter Mr. Awesomepants hanging out with me and my family last Saturday, him not feeling well Sunday, him taking a nap Sunday and basically not talking to me all week. Now enter him basically dumping me without reason on Wednesday night, saying that we fight all the time and thats not the kind of relationship he wants(when that was the only night in 6 months we'd ever fought)here. Yeah, not so awesomepants anymore is it. Goodnewsis: I'm motivated to write again. I'm beta-ing an awesome story AND I'm figuring my shit out with Mr. ''manidiot (long name right?) on thursday night. YEAH.

So, I do in fact know that this was a very long authors note, but I feel it was my duty to explain my dumb reasons I haven't written in 5000000000000000 years. So there it is. If you guys read all of that cool. If not,

*********HERES ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO READ!*************

If you have stuck with me and got this notification in your email and did not blow it off, thank you. I will be updating more now, I promise. I don't know when my other stuff with be updated, but this will be updated soon, as I have at least two more chapters already written for it. I'm aiming for updating one of my stories once a week now.

I give you LOADS of hugs if you don't hate me, and LOADS of apologies for being absent for so long. One thing I need you guys to do for me.
