Work had been a chore on Sunday, but Bella decided to make the most of a quiet day and enjoyed the fact that it would be the last weekend that Bella was seventeen years old. After her hasty and painful exit from Edward’s house the previous day, she couldn’t think of anything better than coming of age so that he could see her in a different light; so that she could help him and maybe he could start seeing her as an adult and the person that she was, rather than the chief of police’s seventeen year old daughter.

Alice had recounted the previous evening in which Jasper had come by to ask her if she wanted to go hiking with her, so she was in a superfluously chirpy mood. Bella was pleased for Alice, but couldn’t help but feel a little bit jealous of how simple their relationship was, even though there was a similar age difference. Bella wondered why intricacy had chosen her, but was thankful that it did or otherwise she wouldn’t have met Edward.

But now she was scared – scared for him and his family. She was also scared about them, and scared about how Edward would push her away once he knew that she was a definite high risk to losing Honey. She hated being a burden and she knew that it was definitely how she was acting at the moment.

Edward hadn’t contacted her since she had left that evening, but she of all people knew when space was needed. However, that still didn’t stop her going to the back of the shop every five minutes to check her BlackBerry.

After work was over, Bella left the shop solemnly and walked to the car park where her truck was parked. She fingered the key ring that her father had given her delicately on her keys; it was a tulip – her mom’s favourite flower.

Bella had begun to think about her mom even more than usual, recently. The close contact with Edward had done nothing but spark up the memories from the night her mother died which, in a way, terrified her even though her father promised that nothing would ever happen to her after it had happened. She knew that even though her father was on the police force and the fact that she didn’t go out much made her security a little more assured, she also knew that nothing was certain.

She could still be in danger.

As Bella attempted to brush her thoughts of anxiety and noted to herself that she had been safe for over twelve years, she found her car key and removed it from the rest of her keys to open the truck. However, there was already someone waiting for her at the door.
