Death had always seemed inevitable. You were born and then through some means, your life comes to an end and you cease to exist. Pretty black and white, right? Wrong.

Annabella Swan realises that life in Forks is a lot...

Procrastinating her Biology work, Anna led herself across the bottom of Bella's bed and decided that annoying her was a far more entertaining way to spend her evening.
Jessica had invited her to see a movie but spending her Friday evening wearing jeans and being in pain had sounded like torture. Instead, Anna was in her comfiest pyjamas, hot water bottle tucked into her waistband, yellow blanket wrapped around her and pretending not to notice her sister attempting to kick her off the bed.
Despite having been forewarned that all she would receive from Emmett was radio silence, Anna couldn't help the hopeful rush of her heartbeat any time her phone buzzed in recognition of a new message. Nor could she control the crushing wave of disappointment that followed when it turned out to be anyone else.
"You know that I love you very much and your company is a blessing but I will literally give you my sheet to copy if it means you'll leave me alone," grumbled Bella after Anna blew in her ear for the sixth time.
"I thought I was supposed to be the hormonal one." Anna sniggered before letting out a cry of fear as Bella finally managed to roll her sister off the bed.
Charlie's worried yell sounded from downstairs as he called out to them to ensure both his twins were safe. Instead of receiving an answer, he heard their light-hearted bickering and shook his head before walking back to the couch. A smile adorned his face at the unfamiliar but comforting sound. Having both of his girls back under the same roof was nice, especially since the tension from Bella's arrival had dissipated.
Apologising and handing her sister the sheet, Bella allowed Anna to crawl under Bella's purple covers as they decided to put a movie on Anna's laptop. Quickly filling in the boxes, Anna placed all the schoolwork on the floor before snuggling under the blanket. Bella's head rested on her shoulder as the movie continued but neither one paid much attention as their topic of conversation veered towards boys.
"I just don't understand him." Bella sighed, trailing off from her rant about Edward Cullen's hot-and-cold behaviour, breath coming out in heavy pants.
Acknowledging everything said and comparing it to her equally weird/frustrating experiences with Emmett, the Swan twins agreed that the Cullen boys were complicated creatures.
Emmett had a cheeky and cheerful persona and Anna often got hopeful that his behaviour indicated he could be slightly interested in her. He spent his free periods with her and refused to listen when she said he was under no obligation to spend time with her. In fact, he protested greatly and informed her that he wouldn't want to spend his time with anyone else.
However, when she finally got hopeful, the next time they interacted he was tense, clenching his fists and leaning his body away from her as politely as possible as if her very presence was some form of torture. He leant forward as if to kiss her cheek before abruptly pulling away and looking disgusted with himself and he had never once proposed that they spend time with each other away from the school environment.
