Pulling myself to the present, I turned over in my bed trying to deny the fact that I had to get up to go to work. Just as I turned over my bedroom door was slammed open and both Jasper and Emmett were bouncing on the end of the bed.

“Wake up! BEEP BEEP BEEP. Wake up!” They both said in unison.

I greeted them with an “Ugh”, rolled over in bed, and covered my face with my blankets. This was how at least two of my mornings each week started. They worked out together in the morning at the gym and got home with too much enthusiasm for my taste.

“Come on Bells, it is time to wake up!” Emmett said this while he was man handling me through the covers, thrashing me back and forth, trying to get me to get out of bed.

“GO AWAY!”

Jasper huffed a little laugh. “Bella, we are only trying to help.”

Sometimes they could be so exhausting! Ever since graduating college together last June, we became even closer. If that was even possible. It used to be all three of us plus two rotating roommates. It was as if every roommate that we had throughout college couldn’t handle us for more than a year, and then we would get two new ones. Once we finished, we all moved out together into a house, just the three of us. It was a nice big house that Jasper had bought.

I couldn’t imagine my life without these two men in it. They meant the world to me. I even knew them longer than Edward, whom I met when I was thirteen.

“I think that she fell asleep again.” Jasper said softly

“Come on Isabella Swan! Wakey Wakey!”

Well, I knew that I wouldn’t be getting anymore sleep. It was time to stop avoiding the inevitable. “All right, all right! I am getting up. Now get out of here so I can get ready”.

With that, they both gave me their good morning kisses on the cheek and left the room. I rolled out of the bed to check what time it was. 6:45am. Oh good!  I wasn’t going to run late this morning. I enjoyed a nice long shower, threw on my casual work attire and headed out my bedroom door.
