"I don't think we should do this, Allison" a Native American man says to a weeping Native American young lady. They are in the kitchen having a difficult discussion. The lady was shaking her head, indicating that she wasn't agreeing with her husband.

"B-but she's a-all I have left of her. I-i can't... I won't abandon my only niece, Joshua" the lady, Allison, said to the man. Joshua, as she called him, sighs and held her shaky hands.

"I know it doesn't feel right. But we're struggling already, Allison. We cannot afford to feed another mouth." Joshua pause for a bit, debating if he should bring it up. 

"Before you say anything, listen to what have to say first, okay." Allison nods and once again Joshua sighs. 

"I found this young couple who's willing to pay us if we give up, Nani." Allison looked at her husband enraged. How dare he say that they should sale her only niece, the last missing piece of her dead twin sister, to complete strangers. She took her hands from him, she was going to start screaming at him, start to call him names, tell him off but Joshua stops her.

"Think about your own son, Addy. We're going bankrupted. I still haven't found a job and you're job barely pays anything. Do you really think we could raise Nani in this sort of life? Listen, I don't like it either but they're willing to pay a lot. We could pay the all of those overdue bills, it'll even cover for Sammy's college intuition, all four years. Think about it" Joshua saying this time in a softer voice. Allison stop moving. What should she do? They're already struggling with everything, Sammy isn't eating what a normal seven years old should.

"B-but at what cost?" Allison says. 

She knew that this was good to be true, everything came with a price. Joshua didn't know how to say this. If his wife actually agrees to do this, she'll lose her only niece, she already lost her twin. He didn't think she could do this all over again. But on the other hand, she was going to save them. With that money, they'll have enough to pass by, hell it was more than enough. It could pay for Sammy's future. He son wasn't going to be an anybody, his only son will be someone of great importance. He'll leave this small cursed town, he'll leave far far away, and he'll go to college. Something his parents nor Nani's mother couldn't do.

"We can never see Nani, again" and with that said, Allision broke down once again. She was going to lose her own piece of her twin, just so that her son could have a life she dreamed of.

Little did they know, their seven-year-old was listening to their conversation about his little cousin. He ran back to his room, where a little four-year-old girl was sleeping peacefully. He climbs the bed and hugs her. Wiping away his tears he whispers to her.

"Don't worry Nani. I won't let anything bad happen to you. Big brother, Sammy promises." He kisses her forehead and falls asleep with her still in his arms. And he was determined to keep his promise. No matter what happens, she'll always be safe and happy when he's around. No one was going to stop him from keeping his promise.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!" I sing out as I jumped on Bella's bed, followed by Charlie. I managed to jump on top of her, making her groan and pushed me off the bed. I landed on my back.

"Damn Bells when did you get so strong? Or did I get weak?" I say making Charlie laugh and Bella to roll her eyes. I stood up and moved beside Charlie, who has two birthday presents with him.

"I thought I said, no present" Bella says sighing, for the first time today.

"The ones that from me, isn't wrapped, so it doesn't count," Charlie says handing her a camera with a red bow on top and wrapped presents. The red bow was my idea. I already knew what was inside the box, I was with Charlie when he was talking to Renee on this phone. Renée is such a 'cool' mom when I say cool, I mean that she acts like those moms that act to be cool. But she's a nice lady, whenever Bella is talking with her, also I talk to her. She says that I should visit and bring Bella with me. Bella looks over to me, waiting for me to give her my present.

"What? You said no presents, so I'm not giving you one" I tell her, she looks shocked that for once I listened to her. She nods and starts to unwrap the box. I'm lying, I do have a present for her. I picked out this really beautiful vintage locket and I know she'll love it. One side it has a picture of Edward and the other side a picture of me. The two people she loves the most. I was with Carlisle, we were in Seattle when I bought it. We were picking up a box of vintage things for Alice. On a Friday morning, she asked me if I could go with her to Seattle to pick up her online order. I took 30 minutes explaining to her why online shopping was bad. And after I agreed to go, but needed to wait until Saturday afternoon. Said to was it was perfect and that I should wear something nice. Since the weather was going to be nice that day. But when that day came, where was she? Nowhere to be found, no one was there, only Carlisle. Apparently, she had accidentally forgotten but if I can do her a favor and go with Carlisle. The rest of the Cullens weren't there, almost as if it was planned out. Lucky for her, I wasn't going to waste a perfect good outfit. So I agree, Carlisle and I spend the day at Seattle. Shopping but most importantly we had fun. I got to spend the day with him, alone. No other Cullen was there, it was just him and I. The perfect day.

"The box is from your mom, we coordinated." Charlie says making me scoff.

"More like she coordinated with you," I say, making Charlie playfully glare at me, I laugh at him and sat down on the bed.

"Well thanks anyways, dad," Bella says to her dad. She opens the box and takes out an empty photo book. I also picked it out. Charlie was about to get a plain old black one. Don't get me wrong, I love the color black, but not for a photo book. Since Bella liked the color purple, I picked out a nice lavender photo book that had a small butterfly in the front. The butterfly reflects Bella, herself. The butterfly wasn't always a beautiful butterfly. It first was a small weak caterpillar, it learned to protect itself, made itself hard and later on it grew to be one beautiful butterfly. That's how I see Bella right now, she's a small weak caterpillar, harsh I know. But I know one day she'll be the most gentle beautiful butterfly.

"It's to put your pictures at the end of senior year. Man, senior year. How'd you get so old?" Charlie says teasing Bella. However, Bella looks mortified.

"I didn't. I'm not that old" Bella says with a shaky voice. I slightly frown, whats up with her?

"Well, I don't know. Wait is that a grey hair?" Charlie asks leaning down, poking at Bella's hair. She rushed to look at herself in the mirror. Checking to see if she had a grey hair. Charlie and I laughed at her, causing her to throw a pillow at me and a glare at Charlie. I easily got the pillow and stick my tongue at her.

Edward came to pick us up from Bella's house to get to school. As we got to school, I told them I needed to head to the library to get a book really fast before class starts. I waved at the vamps and to the gang as I passed them. Inside the library, I went up to Ms. Thompson, the librarian, and asked her if she had the book I was looking for. She said she didn't but I could find it in the public library. I thanked her and left. I was walking out and spotted Edward and Bella in the hallway. I made my way to them, however, as I was getting closer it looked like they were arguing about something.

"Hey, whats up?" I ask them. They both didn't say anything until I raised my eyebrow at Bells. She sighs and explains.

"Jake got me a present and Edward is upset that Jake got me one. When I didn't let him give me one. He said why I couldn't give him one. I told him because I couldn't give him anything in return. But he answered that by me breathing he has everything. Then I went on saying that I want to be like him and that what we're arguing about, again" Bella informs me. I look at both of them and sighs.

"We'll get to that topic when it's time okay" Edwards sighs but nods. "And besides Eddy, be happy that you got the one thing he doesn't. You got the girl" we both smirks and then laughs. Bella rolls her eyes. As we start to head to class, we see Alice jump over the railing. Leaving poor Jasper in the back, we both smiled at each other as we made eye contact.

"Bella, happy birthday," Alice says but Bella 'shh' her. Alice pulls out a present from her back.

"I thought I said, no presents," Bella says sighing for the third time this day. Alice rolls her eyes.

"Guess what? I already saw you open it and you love it. Come over to our place? pretty please, Amelia will be there, right?" They all look at me and I nod. 

"Pretty please, it'll be fun," Alice says begging Bella. I thought that it'll take more than that to make Bella agree to a party, especially for her birthday. But Bella agrees. "Great! Both of you come at seven." Alice squeaks and always away.

"Hey, Jasper. No fair with the mood control" Bella whines making Alice and I laugh.

"Sorry, Bella. Happy Bir- (Bella glares at him) never mind" he says chuckling and he walks away with Alice. I laughed even more.

"God, I love that he could do that," I say making Bella hit my chest. Causing Edward and I to laugh and Bella just glares at both us of.

"You can't trust vampires, trust me," Edward says. Bella and I just stare at him with an are-you-serious look.

"You're such an idiot," I tell him as I laugh.

"Yeah, but I'm your best friend's idiot. Which kinda makes me your idiot." Edward says with a teasing smile.

"I didn't think of that. I have my own personal vampire idiot." I say. 

We all laugh as we went to class. My first class was with Bella and Edward. I didn't feel like a third wheel whenever I'm with those two. They made me feel like I belong in their tiny group. We were like the three musketeers, the three blind mice, the three amigos, the three idiots. We were our own little group and we weren't going to split up anytime soon.
