Complications and Balancing

(Complications: Thursday) Jenny's POV

So yesterday, a crowd had gathered around to admire Rosalie's car. I saw Bella leave with Edward. I managed to get through the crowd to my car and drove home also. I got home and saw Bella talking to Edward in his car. I had gone inside and wrote in my journal.

Dear Journal,

I think Bella knows about the Cullens. Or at the least on the way to figuring it out like I have. She didn't delete her search history from the other day and I saw she'd been researching vampires.

If I know my little sister, she is not gonna keep quiet. She'll confront the Cullens or at least Edward about it. Where as I haven't as I respect their previous and know there must be a reason they haven't told me in the two years we've been friends.

Anyway, I have chores and homework to do before dinner. I'll write more later. Yours Sincerely, Jenny

Anyway, it's now Thursday morning and it does not look like Bella slept well. But at least she remembered to keep the window shut last night. Anyway, we're having breakfast with dad before he leaves for work and we have to go to school. I wonder if she is riding with Edward again today?

"About this Saturday..." Dad says pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yes, dad?" Bella asks.

"Are you both still set on going to Seattle?" he asks us.

"That was the plan" Bella tells him.

"And you're sure you can't make it back in time for the dance?" he asks us.

"Dad, we've told you before. We're not going to the spring dance" I remind him.

"Didn't anyone ask you two?" he asks as he rinses his plate.

"It's a girl's choice" Bella states.

"Oh" he says drying his plate. I sympathized with our dad. It must be a hard thing, to be a father of two girls. Living in fear that your daughters would meet a boy they liked, but also having to worry if they didn't. He left then waving goodbye.

"Should we tell him you're going with Edward and not me?" I ask Bella.

"No" she states. "Anyway, what will you be doing Saturday?" she asks me curious.

"Alice asked me to help her and Rosalie get ready for the dance. I agreed" I tell her with a shrug. "Need a lift?" I ask her.

"I don't think so" she says as we left the house. I see Edward waiting with his car and giggle. I push her towards him.

"Have fun" I tease and lock up before getting into my car. I drive myself to school. School was fine, we watched a movie in history about the civil war. Well it was more of a documentary. I noticed Bella and Edward talking a lot. Honestly, I'd never seen her talk so much.

Anyway, when I arrived home after school. I saw them talking still in Edward's car again. I left them to it and decided to watch a movie. While I was watching it, the home phone rings. I wonder who that is? I go to the kitchen and answers it.

"Swan residence, Jenny speaking" I state.

"Jenny, it's Billy" an elder voice says.

"Hello Mr Black" I say with a smile.

"Hey, do you think your dad would mind if Jake and I came over to watch the game tonight?" he asks me. "Our TV broke" he adds sheepishly.

"Of course, do you want to join us for dinner?" I ask him.

"No, Jake and I will eat before hand" he assures me. "I hear Bella likes her truck" he adds.

"She loves it" I tell him. "Dad is gonna be so happy to see you and I know Jacob is dying to see Bella again" I add in a teasing tone. He chuckles agreeing saying they'd be here in an hour or so.

(Time skip)

I hear a car arrive. That must be Jake and Billy or dad. I go to the front door to see it was the first two. Jake is greeting Bella as he helped his dad out of the car. As my dad pulls up in his police cruiser. I notice Billy staring at Bella in shock. I wonder why?

(Balancing: Friday)

So last night was great. Bella made us cheese toasties for dinner as it was so late. Her, Jacob and I joked about Billy while she made them. Apparently he is very superstitious. But I know he wouldn't say anything to dad as the last time he did. They had a fight.

Anyway we all watched the game together in the living room. Dad's team won, which made him happy. He invited Billy and Jacob to come over for the next game. Billy told Bella and I to take care. I assured him we would. Dad asked Bella and I about our days. We told him and called it a night.

Bella is very cheerful this morning. I think she is in love with Edward. I just pray he doesn't hurt her. She is my little sister after all and I do love her. "You're cheerful this morning" dad commented.

"It's Friday" Bella tells him. Anyway, I drove myself to school and Bella rode with Edward again. I know I've seen them talking a lot, but I hope that's all they are doing. I'd hate for my sister to get pregnant while we're still in high school. That's if vampires can procreate. Then again still no proof of that, it's only a theory.

It's lunch time. "You should sleep over at our house" Alice states.

"When?" I ask confused.

"Tonight, that way we can hang out tomorrow before you help Rosalie and I get ready for the dance" she states.

"It'd be fun" Rosalie adds.

"I don't know, I have some house chores that need doing and I was gonna go grocery shopping for Bella" I tell them. She'd given me a list of things we needed at the store.

"Speaking of Bella, she'll need a lift home today. Edward and I are leaving after lunch" Alice states with a smile.

"You are?" I ask surprised and she nods her head. "I should go tell her I can drive her home then" I state.

"I'll come with you" she says happily. I nod and we get up. Going over to Bella and Edward.

"Alice, Jenny" Edward says in greeting.

"Edward" we say together and giggle at each other.

"Bella, this is Alice. Alice my sister Bella" I say introducing the duo.

"Hello Bella" she says with a smile. "It's nice to finally meet you" she states.

"Hi, Alice" Bella says shyly.

"No need to be shy Bella, Alice is harmless" I assure her. "Anyway, she told me she and Edward are leaving after lunch. I can drive you home after school" I tell her.

"Awesome, thanks Jenny" she says grateful. "I did not want to walk in the rain" she states.

"I'd never let my sister walk in the rain" I assure her.

"Are you ready?" Alice asks Edward.

"Nearly. I'll meet you at the car" he tells her. She left without another word.

"Well I have class, I'll meet you by my car after school Bella" I state. She nods her head in agreement. I then left for my next class. Bella meet me after school and I start to drive us home. "So have you and Edward kissed yet?" I ask her and she blushes.

"No" she answers.

"That'd make dad happy that you're taking it slow" I state. "You two still going to Seattle?" I ask her curious.

"No, actually we're just gonna hang out in stead" she states. "What about you?" she asks me curious.

"Alice invited me for a sleepover tonight, but I don't know. I have home work to do along with some house chores" I tell her.

"You should go, I was gonna do the laundry and the rest can be done Sunday" she states.

"But the groceries" I add.

"We have enough food until Sunday" she assures me. That night over dinner, we told dad about our cancelled plans. Bella lied saying she'd be doing chores all day tomorrow. While I admitted I'd been invited to a sleepover at the Cullens and was gonna help Alice & Rosalie get ready tomorrow. Dad said I could go. He was going fishing with some guys from the police station like usual tomorrow.

So after dinner. I packed an overnight bag and texted Alice. Before driving to the Cullen house. Her, Rosalie and I had an amazing time together as always. Before I fell asleep on Rosalie's bed as we talking about the sort of guy I would like to marry in the future.
