Alice, Bella and friends.

Bella

I sulked and chucked an apple at him.

"Hey!" he said loudly, catching the apple. "What was that for?"

"For being mean."

"How'm I bein' mean?"

"By being you. And being there." I grumbled and sat crosslegged on the groud.

Ronan

I chuckled, letting go of the ring and just holding her hand.

"It's the right way now?" I asked, looking from the ring to her eyes.

Random

I laughed out loud, "come on love, lets go get some food."

She didn't move.

I laughed again and stepped over to her. It took a little more effort than I expected, but I was expecting the effort it took to pick her up from a standing and willing position. Not a sitting stubborn one.

Neverthe less, I picked her up.


Aliley

I looked at my finger and the ring and grinned. "Yeap."

I checked the clock, noting we still had five minutes. It was safe to kiss him.

So being me I took advantage of the oppertunity and kissed him.

Bella

As Random began pulling me too my feet, I dropped all my weight, making things a bit harder for him.

"Please get up?" he asked, kneeling down in front of me. I gave him a sly grin, shaking my head no. He kissed my nose. "Please?"

I twitched my nose a few times, sighed loudly, and got to my feet.

"You're lucky you're adorable," I grumbled, moving to get in the van.

Ronan

Not completely expecting this, but fully pleased, I kissed Alice back.

She moved her arms around my neck, and I positioned my hands on the small of her back, holding her to me.

Alice

I heard something scratch at the door, surprisingly and jumpped, scaring Ronan.

I sighed, "Just my cat." But I checked my watch. "We should probably get ready though."

"You're mom's not home."

I shrugged, "we'll be early and have a few moments to ourselves."


Random

I grinned, "aint I tho?"

She playfully glared at me. I kissed her lightly again as she climbed into the van.

LONG TIME LAPSE

Ronan

Alice's parents were, by far, the most awesome people ever.

Yeah, that's not exactly right.

How about what they don't know won't hurt 'em?

I crashed at Alice's house for the whole three nights that her parents were out of town. Her sister was never home, and didn't really care anyway. It was nice, just her and I hanging out. Especially since we didn't have nearly as much time to hang out during our Junior year of high school.


Bella

I woke up slowly. My body ached, everywhere.

As I opened my eyes, I squinted against bright lights.

"What happened?" I murmured, attempting to sit up and fniding it to be extremely painful. My dad was at my side in a heartbeat.

"Honey, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so. What happened?" As I said this, I had a flashback. The van sliding across the street, into another car. Random beside me, both of us screaming.

I sat bolt upright.

"Is random all right?!"

Alice

Ronan was awake, so was I, but I pretended not to be. AT least until my cell phone rang.

"Alice?" Bella's mom asked.

"Yeah?"

Bella's mom told them about the car crash, quickly I sat up, suddenly wide awake.

"We'll be there in an hour, I'll sneak Bella in some brownies."


Random

I wanted to see Bella, I wanted to make sure she was okay. But the damn doctors wouldn't let me leave the room.

"Come on!" I insisted, "I've got crutches! I'm fine!"

They still refused.

Ronan showed up.

"Is Bella okay?!" I demanded instantly.

"She's fine, Alice is sneaking her in brownies as we speak. I've got yours."

Bella

When Alice walked in with a plate of brownies is when I first realized I was injured.

I cried.

"But..but..that's my writing arm!" I whined, looking at the cast and taking a brownies with my left hand. Alice patted my head lightly and my dad sat beside me.

"The person diving the other car came out completely unscathed. He doesn't want to press charges, but would ilke to know if you and Random are okay."

"All right...?" I replied, wondering exactly where this was going.

"Do you care if he comes in?"

"No, not really..."


Ronan

"When can I go see Bella?" Random complained, eating another brownie. I laughed, sitting at the edge of his bed.

"Soon enough. She broke her arm, by the way."

"No way...which one?"

"The right," I shook my head sadly.

"Oh damn..she's gonna kill someone." I snorted, taking a brownie.

"She can't, she doesn't have the vehicle to run them over anymore. The van is completely totaled."

Random

I winced, and shoved a brownie in my mouth.

"Its gone." he said. "I think it would just be cheeper to buy a porche than to fix it."

"Ouch," I said, "that's kind of...soul killing."

"Yeah."


Alice

I sat in the chair on the other side of the bed as the other driver came in.

And then I watched things unfold.

The guy was vaguely familiar to me, though I couldn't say from where.

I knew I knew him though!

Bella

"I...I'm sorry about your car?" I said, attempting to start a conversatoin, but having no idea what to say. He chuckled.

"No problem, none at all. The roads were slippery. Besides, I can get a new car no problem," he replied, smiling at me. I recognized the smile immediately.

"You're that car dealer off tv!" Alice said from her seat. We all laughed, and the man pulled out a business card.

"Yes I am, and I'd like to offer you a new car of your choice," he replied, handing me his card. My jaw hit the floor.

"Are you seriuos?" I asked slowly.

"Yes I am," he replied, smiing. "You come on down to the dealership whenever you're ready and I'll hook you up with whatever car you want."


Ronan

My cell phone vibrated. I answered it.

"Yeah?"

"Bella's getting a free car."

"What?!" Alice gave me the details and I repeated them all to Random quickly.

"Sweet!" Random said, grinning. "Can I go see her yet?" he called out to the doctor in the hallway.

Random

"Not yet!" The doctor sounded impatient with me, and I was just as impatient with him. I wanted to see her damnit! I wanted to make sure she was 100% okay!

"Chill Random," Ronan advised me. "You'll be able to see her soon."

I growled and ate another brownie. Alice's brownies were good.


Alice

"Lucky!" I said out loud, "I can't even drive yet."

Bella's dad laughed, "probably safer for the world that way."

I rolled my eyes and ate one of my brownies. "Would you like one?" I offered the salesguy.

Bella

I stood up.

"What are you doing?" Mom asked as I stepped toward the door.

"I need to go to the bathroom," I replied, slipping out of the door. I saw Ronan in the doorway of another room, and slipped past him.

"Random!" I exclaimed.


Ronan

I laughed as Bella slipped past me, her purple underwear showing slightly out of her hospital gown.

"Watch for someone who might eat me, please?" she asked. I nodded, and turned back to the door.

Random

"Bella!" I shout whispered. I sat up on the bed and kissed her. "I'm glad you're okay."

"I broke my writing arm! I'm far from okay!"

I kissed her cast, "you'll just go back to typing for a while."

She pouted.


Alice

I wanted to see Ronan, granted we had been hanging out basically non stop for the last three days I still missed him.

I was in trouble. I never missed people like that before him. I hoped that meant he was close to my soul mate or something. I walked out the door, leaving instructions with Bella's dad for her to call me, and found Ronan right outside the door.

"I missed you," he said.

I smiled patheticly, "least i'm not the only one."

Once we were around the corner he kissed me.

Bella

"Typing with a broken arm...that makes sense?" I raised an eyebrow at Random.

"Hey, I get credit for trying," he said, kissing my nose lightly. "How about I right for you, and you help me get around?"

"Fair enough," I nodded, snuggling up beside him in the hospital bed.


Ronan

I walked Alice home, my hand gently resting on the small of her back.

"Your parents get home tonight, don't they?"

"Yup."

"Did you leave a note?"

"Shit."

Alice

I sighed, "they won't be home yet."

He smiled, "good."

"Lets go hiking," I suggested.

"Hiking?"

"Yeah, theres still a couple places we haven't gotten to yet."


Random

One of the nurses came in and smiled at us, "you two'd better separate, the doctor is comin in."

"So?" I said. Stupid doctors, my leg was in the cast, they had me over night. They could let us go now!

"The doctor was just about to sign you too out. Starting with her, if she's not there she's not getting signed out."

"Crap," Bella murmered and hurried off to her room. Leaving me alone. Damn.

Bella

My dad watched me sit back in the hospital bed.

"Shame shame," he said quietly, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes as the doctor walked in.


Ronan

"What if your parents come home while we're hiking?" I asked nervously while following her. "They already don't really like me...this might make it worse."

"Then go home!" Alice said, turning around.

"But I doni't wanna leave you!"

"Then shut up and come on," she replied, kissing me full on the mouth before turning and continuing her walk.
