“that would never happen” Paul said as he stuffed his face with Doritos, it was Saturday and Paul decided to stay in a watch Bones while Emmett was out hunting. Paul still hated the idea, so we just decided to never discuss it.

“good morning” bella said coming into the living. My head shot up confused, she never really spoke in such a bright tone in the mornings “what's that supposed to mean?”

“nothing...good morning” she repeated as Owen came shuffling into the living room, he plopped on to Charlie's favorite arm chair looking like he just woke up.

“mornin' sunshine” Paul joked, Owen looked at the TV and flipped Paul off while he watched his favorite character Angela do her thing on the show.

I rolled my eyes and continued to watch the TV show. Bella quitely sat down on the arm of the couch with me and took a sip of her drink. She cleared her throat and looked at me and Paul, we ignored her as i tried to finish the episode we were watching. “you look nice today... You too paul”

“I always look nice” Paul smirked, I rolled my eyes and hit his chest.

“What do you want?” I sighed, looking down at the sleep clothes I had yet to change out of, it was one of Emmett's black t-shirts and underwear, his shirts looked like a dress on me so there was no reason to wear pants.

Bella looked shocked. “What? I can't compliment my cousin?” As Bella failed to be suck up I sighed, she was always overly nice when she wanted something.

“suck up” Owen mumbled, Bella shot him a glare as he looked at the TV and not her.

“What do you want?” I said.

“m-my truck won't start... Could you guys look at if for me?” she asked, I signed and nodded. Paul who didn't look up from the TV slightly nodded. “after this, I need to see Booth and Bones catch the killer”

“they always do” I said, smiling.

Bella immediately jumped out of her seat. “t-thanks!” she's stopped and took a double take. “I'll be outside washing it while I wait for you”

The three of us nodded not taking our eyes off the TV. We didn't really notice she left until Owen spoke up and we gave him out undivided attention. “ya know, you certainly have a type sis”

I raised an eyebrow. “what's that mean?”

“you've been in love with David Boreanaz since the show Angel, he was indeed a big buff vampire with dark hair and in Bones he the same way just bigger and goofyer and minus the vampire” Owen explained.

“Buffy the vampire slayer was better... And had good tips” Paul added, I gave him a side eye. “sorry” he mumbled.

“I don't really have a type” I said with a nervous chuckle. “big, goofy buff dude” Owen pushed. “Seeley Booth and Emmett cullen are the basically the same thing, your fictional and real boy friend are very similar”

“why are we even talking about this?” I asked getting up and shutting the TV off. “I'm gonna change and we'll go help little miss. Main character” I said stretching.

After I got and old t-shirt and jeans on, I went out side while Paul and Owen got Uncle Charlie's tools. Paul sighed and droped the metal box on the ground as Owen climed into the bed with one of his my Stephen King books.

“put SpongeBob down and give it a crank” Paul said to Bella as he opened the hood. Bella climed into the squeaky vehicle and tuned the key. The truck made a sickly noise as Paul rummaged around. He sighed and wiped the grease off his hands onto his shorts.

“you got a battery?” he asked. I shook my head no. “we used it on the Impala were working on, remember?”

“let's try and jump start it then” he said as Owen handed him the jumper cables that lived in the bed of the truck.

Paul hooked one side to Charlie's Cruiser, as he hooked it to the truck battery the truck rocked suddenly. I looked up and saw Emmett on the roof.

“can you act human, we have Neighbors” I chuckled, he jumped down as Edward rolled up in his fancy-pants Volvo.

“what's wrong with the truck?” Emmett asked.

“its not starting”

“none of your business” Paul said over me. Emmett's gold eyes looked towrds Paul with hate. I rolled my eyes.

“it might be the spark plug” Emmett said, examining the engine. “I can bring one over later tonight” he said shutting the hood.

“thanks” bella said quickly and turned back to Edward. “there's still a dent though” Emmett said, grabbing the red metel and popping it back into place.

“now, that's hot” I said nudging Paul, He scoffed. “I could do that”

Emmett chuckled while Paul gave him a death glare.

“gald Enzo Ferrari could be of service” Paul said rolling his eyes, Emmett ignored him and turned to me.

“you wanna come over tomorrow?” he smiled leaning against the truck. “Sure, I want Owen to come too. He doesn't like to be left alone anymore”

“Sure, Carlisle and Esme want to meet him” he smiled, our conversation was cut short when Billy and Jacob rolled up in his new truck.

“peace was made, what's the problem?” Emmett asked when he saw my face drop. I shrugged. “I don't know... I just feel like I've been walking on eggshells since the meeting”

“well if they really care about you they wouldn't make you feel that way” Emmett said loud enough for Paul to hear.

Paul and Jacob are the only two that had been acting normal since the meeting. Paul didn't care, I mean he hated the Cullens but he was one of my closest friends and he wasn't gonna ruin it. Jacob just didn't know anything about the supernatural world yet so he was completely clueless.

He actually liked Emmett, Jacob came over to the house the other day to help me and Emmett on my Impala, they got along great. Jacob couldn't figure out what the packs problem was, he even asked and I couldn't give him a real awnser.

“we should go” Edward said coming up to us. Emmett shrugged. “you can... I don't have to”

My best friend rolled his eyes and gave me hug before racing off in his Volvo. “What was that about?” Bella asked.

“I'm sure you'll crack that case too Sherlock” I mumbled as we watched Jacob hop out of the silver truck.

“Hey, Emmett” Jacob smiled as he pulled out Billy's wheelchair. Honestly, Billy got over the whole thing. I think he was just galde Emmett was respectful towards me and and wasn't a killing machine.

Jacob and Emmett did some kinda bro fist bump which was bizzar in itself, I worry what Jake will think when he knows the truth about it all. Would him and Emmett still be friends? Would he look past all the wolf and vampire drama?

“you here for the game?” he asked Emmett, he looked over at me and just prayed he'll say no. I hate sports.

“I'll be upstairs with y/n” he said as Charlie walked outside with a smile. He greeted his best friend and Jacob then turned to Emmett.

“your welcome to join us if you want Emmett”

Emmett nodded with a smile. “I appreciate the offer sir, but I promise y/n we'd watch a couple of movies together”

As we walked towrds the house Billy spoke up. “any luck on the Waylon case?”

“well, I don't think it was an animal that killed him” Charlie awnsered as he pushed Billy's wheelchair up the small stairs.

Jacob and Bella looked at me and Emmett while they spoke about the murder. Emmett gulped and took my hand while we followed the group into the house.

“so spread the word out at the rez, huh? Keep the kids out” Charlie asked. “will do, we don't want anyone eles getting hurt” Billy said looking directly at me and Emmett.

As the sports watcher filed into the living room, I pulled Emmett towrds the stairs. He jokingly stoped and looked at the TV. “ya sure you don't want to watch the game?”

“we can watch it if you really want to” I smiled. I quickly shook his head no. “na, let's go to your room”

As we walked up the stairs Uncle Charlie called out to us. “better keep that bedroom door open!”

“okay!” I said rolling my eyes knowing he couldn't see me.

When we got my room Emmett plopped on to my bed as I looked for a movie to watch. He rolled over onto his stomach and reached for the book that was on my nightstand. It was Christine by Stephen King.

“what do you want to watch?” I asked, Emmett shrugged flipping through the small book. “I don't care, as long as your cuddling me... I don't care”

I chuckled and looked over my shoulder at him. His eye brows were knitted together as he concentrated on the book. “you can read it if you want, it's not like the movie but it's good”

“yeah... I might give it a try” he said as tossed him a padd of red sticky notes, he pealed one off for a book mark. “now... Movie, what are we watching?”

“Pult Fiction or Bill and Ted's excellent adventure?” I asked, Emmett looked up, thinking for a moment. “Bill and Ted” he smiled.

I nodded a put the movie in before crawling into bed with him. He wrapped his arms around me while I rested my head on his chest. I smiled feeling immediate comfort. “your like a big teddy bear” I said wrapping my arm around his waist, scooting closer to him. He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

The rest of the day we stayed in bed, Owen came in about two hours later and watched Lethal weapon 3 with us. When 6 'o'clock hit Emmett got a call from Alice to come home, He promised to help get supplies for tomorrow. He said his goodbyes and kissed my goodbye before going outside to his jeep.

A/n: man, sorry this took so long, hopefully I'll post more regularly with this story. I'm so happy you all enjoy this story and want to read more.

Risk & Visions

Follow up to First Day Phenomenon.

Fandom: The Twilight Saga x Life and Death

Pairing: Edythe Cullen/Bella Swan

Rating: Teen

Word count: 3,028

Summary: After witnessing Bella impossibly dodge Tyler's van, the Cullen family debate on whether or not she's a vampire and if she is an exposure risk. Alice reveals to Edythe that Bella is in danger.

January 25, 2005 (Edythe's P.O.V)

I followed the cadence of sirens as the ambulance carrying Bella drew closer to the hospital. Someone at the school had called 911 and E.M.Ts had promptly arrived to take Bella and Tyler Crowley from the scene of the accident. In my Volvo with me were Rosalie and Emmett. Each lost in their own thoughts of disbelief.

'How in the world did a human avoid that collision?' Rose's thoughts dripped with skepticism. Emmet's thoughts were similar. If he had not been there to see it, he would not have believed it either. I considered the brunette girl in the ambulance. She appeared every bit as normal as every other teen at Forks High School. Sans myself and my vampire siblings. However, the stunt she had just pulled was anything but than normal.

We arrived at Forks Community Hospital. I quickly got out of the car and entered the building. Rosalie and Emmett were right behind me. I nodded a greeting to the receptionist as I walked by her desk. My destination was Carlisle's office. I could hear him shuffling papers at his desk. Before I could knock on the door, his thoughts gave me permission to enter.

"Hello, Edythe. Rosalie. Emmett." Carlisle greeted the three of us with kind eyes. "What brings you all here?"

Rose answered him. "We wanted to speak to you before you went in to see a patient that was just brought in. Isabella Swan."

"The young woman involved in the vehicular incident at your school."

Leave it to the small-town gossip chain to spread news faster than an ambulance speeding towards the hospital.

"That's the one," Rose said, "the Swan girl could be an exposure risk."

"How so?" Carlisle asked.

"The car accident," I responded. "A van skidded across the ice in the school lot. Bella was its way. She would've been crushed between the van and her truck if she hadn't…"

"If she hadn't dived out of the way like a ninja!" Emmett enthusiastically interrupted me.

"While his version of events is puerile, it's correct," I continued. "Bella moved at incredible speeds. Too fast for a human."

"Do you believe her to be a vampire?"

"Unclear." "Impossible." Rose and I said at the same time.

"What do you mean 'unclear'?", Rosalie asked incredulously. "I could hear her heartbeat from across the cafeteria."

"Perhaps it was an illusion of sorts," I said. "We've met vampires with stranger abilities."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. Her thoughts echoed the disbelief clearly displayed on her face. Carlisle, ever aware of when his oldest daughters were about to argue, stepped in.

"We'll worry about what species she is later. In the meantime, the three of you should go to the house now. We'll have a family meeting later when I get home."

Rose and Emmett stood up from their seats, but I remained where I was.

"Actually," I said. "I think I should stay here. Bella will need a ride home since her truck was towed."

In my mind, I recalled the image of an Eagle Auto Repair & Towing tow truck pulling into the school's parking lot. Bella's truck, Tyler's van, and the unfortunate sedan would've been towed away by now.

"Fine," said Rose. "I'll call Earnest and ask him to pick us up. I'm sure Alice has already filled him in on what's happened."

Before E.M.Ts had arrived at the school, Alice had led Jessa away from the accident. There hadn't been a lot of blood, but better safe than sorry. Rose and Emmett left Carlisle's office.

"I'm going to see Ms. Swan and Mr. Crowley in urgent care," Carlisle stated. "Are you coming?"

"No. I'll stay here for now," I said.

Carlisle nodded and headed out of his office. I could hear Carlisle reach the urgent care unit just as the nurse was finishing checking Bella's vitals.

"I can take it from here, Nurse Thompson."

"Sure thing, Dr. Cullen." Nurse Thompson was a sweet, middle-aged woman. And was one of the nurses that didn't gossip about my father's sexuality. I liked her.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Swan. How are you feeling?"

"Just Bella. And like I've been telling everyone, I feel fine."

Carlisle, who's thoughts were open to me, was amused. 'She's got gumption.' I could see the room through Carlisle's eyes. He looked down at Bella's chart which he held in his hands. 'Her vitals are abnormal. Her heart rate is slow for someone her age. And her blood pressure is higher than normal, but I don't believe it's cause for concern.'

"Are you experiencing any dizziness or light headedness?"

"Fit as a fiddle, doctor," was Bella's quick response. "When can I go home?"

"There are some forms you'll have to fill out, but after that you're free to leave. The nurse's station is just down the hall. The nurse on duty can get you the forms you need."

"Thank you, Doctor Cullen."

Bella stood from the hospital bed and walked at a human pace towards the double swinging doors.

'She moves very gracefully.'

For some unknown reason, a low growl escaped from my lips.

'Easy Edythe. I only meant that she was graceful for a human. She moves as if she were one of us.'

I silently apologized and ignored the amusement that colored Carlisle's thoughts. I followed the sound of Bella's footsteps as they led her down the hall. She was light on her feet. If I didn't have such advanced hearing, I wouldn't have been able to hear her. I stood from my seat and approached Bella as she was filling out the sign out forms at the nurse's station. I cleared my throat. Bella raised her eyes to meet mine. How could a pair of eyes be so captivating?

"Oh, Edythe, I didn't expect to see you here. Did you get dragged into the back of an ambulance too?"

"No," my lips curled up in an amused smile. "I followed the ambulance in my car. I wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"I'm alright. No blood no foul," she handed the forms to the nurse. "Don't know how I'm going to get home though. Pretty sure my truck isn't very drivable at the moment. Not to mention that it's still in the school lot."

"Actually, I saw it get towed away," I told her.

"Great." Bella's voice dripped in sarcasm. "Now what am I going to do?"

"I could give you a ride home," I offered. "And I could give you the name of the auto shop."

Bella and I had walked to the front entrance. I walked ahead of her to hold the door open for her. She sent me her gratitude with a smile.

"I would appreciate that. Thank you."

I led Bella to my car and opened the passenger door for her. Then waited until she was settled before closing the door behind her. Aside from Bella's occasional directions the ride was quiet. Which was not unpleasant. While the thoughts of the people I drove by buzzed past like annoying insects, Bella's quiet mind was peaceful. The interior of my car became a temporary save haven from the unforgivable onslaught of foreign thoughts. I turned down King Richards Way. Bella's home was a small, wood paneled structure at the end of the street.

"Thanks again,” Bella said as I stopped in front of her house.

"It was no problem," I assured her. "I was happy to do it."

And I really had been. While I would've been glad to help anyone who needed it, something about being in Bella's presence made my non-beating heart swell.

"Before you go, do you have a cell or home phone?" I asked Bella. "I could give you my number and whenever you need to pick up your truck, I can give you a ride. All you have to do is call."

Bella reached into her pocket and pulled out a Motorola Razor. As she handed me the mobile device, she stopped, and a look of realization crossed her face.

"My bag!" Bella exclaimed. "I left it in the school parking lot."

"No worries. I grabbed it before following the ambulance." I reached behind the passenger seat and produced the girl's school bag. "Here you are."

"You didn't mention this earlier?"

If I had the ability to blush I would. "I, um, forgot?"

Forgetting was not something my kind was capable of doing. However, Bella's presence seemed to render my mind impotent. Her companionship was distracting. In the best possible way. Bella chuckled. Before she took the bag, I noticed a knowing smile danced on her lips. Quickly, I added my number to her contact list and handed her the cellphone.

"Thank you." Her hand rested on the door handle, ready to leave the car but I was not ready to watch her leave.

"Would you like a ride tomorrow?" The question came rushing out in an attempt to get Bella to stay just a little bit longer.

"What was that?"

"I mean, with your truck being in the shop, would it be alright if I picked you up tomorrow and gave you a ride to school?"

"I would be grateful." Bella exited the car. She leaned back down and peered in. "See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow, Bella."

She smiled and closed the car door. I waited until she was safely inside her home before pulling out of her driveway to make my own way home. After crossing the bridge over Calawah River, I headed northward until I reached the hidden driveway that led to the Cullen residence. Resting just past six primordial cedars, was a colonial style home that had been meticulously restored by Earnest. The three-story mansion had been Earnest's pride and joy the last time we resided in Forks nearly seventy years ago. As evident by the freshly painted off-white exterior and polished windows, time had not diminished my father's love for the house.

I knew my family was gathered around the dining room table before I had even entered. Of course, we never used it to dine, but it made for a good space to have family meetings. Carlisle greeted me as I took my seat by his left-hand side. He told me through his thoughts that he'd taken off from work early, but that he would be going in for the night shift. Our coven leader sat at the head of the polished oval table. To his right was his mate and husband Earnest. They were married according to vampire law, but Washington State had not yet legalized same-sex marriage. "Yet" according to Alice. For now, Carlisle and Earnest posed as partners to the Forks population. To my left was the psychic pixie herself, Alice, and always by her side was Jessamine. Across from Jessa sat Emmett and seated between Emmett and Earnest was Rosalie who jumped right into the discussion.

"We need to keep an eye on the girl. If anyone else saw what she did today, it could risk exposure."

"No one saw anything Rose," I responded calmly. "Everyone simply thinks that Bella was extremely lucky." Perhaps it was juvenile to emphasize "Bella", but I did anyway. All while ignoring the smirks from Alice and Jessa.

"Besides," Alice interrupted Rosalie. "Spying on Bella won't work. She'll sense whoever we send and run. Trust me, that won't be a good thing." Images of Bella running from shadowy figures flashed across Alice's and my mind. I didn't know who was after Bella, but I got the sense from Alice's vision that they were dangerous.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Rose asked.

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Emmett jumped in. "You can't be serious? Did you not see how fast that girl moved?" He replayed the incident in his mind. Though in his overactive imagination Bella was doing a lot of back flips.

"Sweet pea, I agree with Emmett," Jessamine spoke up. I felt her cringe inward as she said, 'agree with Emmett.' "We can't do nothing."

"We are going to do something. Just not yet. It's not the right time, but it will be soon."

'Soon' didn't really narrow it down for immortal creatures. 'Soon' could be within the next decade or two.

Carlisle, knowing it was a fruitless effort to try and convince Alice to elaborate, moved on to the next topic. "Perhaps it would be best if we moved on to a new discussion. Where do we all stand on the human vs vampire debate?"

"Emmett said that she moved with incredible speed," Earnest said. "And Jessa told me earlier about the girl's agility. Surely, Bella must be a vampire."

"Not likely," Rose said. "She had a heartbeat. We could all hear it." My other siblings and myself nodded in agreement.

Carlisle nodded his head as well. "The girl did have a beating heart, but it was much slower than it should be." Carlisle recalled to his mind Bella's medical chart from earlier today. "Miss Swan had a heart rate of around forty beats a minute. Which is low, but it is still considered normal. Especially in athletes."

"If she is athletically trained then that could explain her agility." Earnest said.

"But not her speed," Emmet continued for him. "I'm telling you; no human could've moved that fast. She moved like one of us."

"Edythe had biology with Bella," Jessamine said. "Anything to add?"

My thoughts wandered back to biology class. I replayed every time our fingers touched as we passed the microscope between each other. Her touch had been . . . warm. Though she didn't radiate the same warmth that the humans around us had. And she certainly didn't have the same burning touch possessed by our wolf friends in La Push. The closest I could compare it to was the touch of another vampire. Because we all had the same ice-cold skin all vampires felt warm to one another. Yet, Bella's touch had been different. I could feel the warmth of human blood pulsing beneath her fingertips providing heat to Bella's otherwise cooled skin.

"She was warm," I answered Jessa.

"Human warm or vampire 'warm'," Emmett raised his fingers to air quote warm.

"Both? I know that doesn't help."

"You think?" Rosalie was steadily becoming annoyed. "This conversation is going nowhere." My first sister stood up from her place at the table and squeezed Em's shoulder. A clear indication that she wished for him to follow. She was right. We could all, quite literally, debate this all night. But the truth of the matter is none of us knew what to make of Isabella Swan.

Emmett and Rosalie retired to their bedroom for the evening. As did Carlisle and Earnest so that they could spend time together before Carlisle had to return to the hospital. Jessamine retreated to her study. From her thoughts, I gathered that she was going to do some research. She was the most concerned about what Bella was and whether or not it endangered the safety of our family. I myself climbed the stairs to the third floor where my room was.

My dwelling is behind the last door down the hall and faces south. Like the entire south facing wall of the house, my wall had been replaced by glass. Which gave me spectacular views of the Sol Duc River and the Olympic Mountain range. The unfortunate downside to my room was that it was directly above Rose's and Emmett's room. I closed my door behind me and settled into the black leather sofa that rested against the east wall. Digging my iPod Shuffle out of my pocket, I placed the headphones in my ears and drowned out the sound of Emmett's and Rosalie's nightly activities. The music device was new to the market only having been released two weeks ago. Of course, thanks to Alice, the family had stock in Apple Inc. and got early access to the product. My psychic sister was adamant that the iPod Shuffle was going to be very popular over the next few years.

Speak of the devil. Alice didn't bother to knock on the door. She already knew that I heard her approaching and knew that I would invite her in. Alice sat down on the thick golden carpet, parallel to where I was stretched out on my sofa. She leaned her head back against my wall of CDs. I turned down the volume of my media player and removed one of the earbuds. Alice's thoughts were a tangled web, so either she was hiding something from me, or she had not yet decided what to focus on. Finally, her mind calmed and the image of Bella sitting in the school cafeteria and eating food was clear in her mind's eye.

"Does this mean you believe her to be human?"

"I don't know." Alice confessed. "Bella is very difficult to see. Most of my visions of her are cloudy. The ones that are clear are unfinished. Like, there's a decision that has yet to be made."

"What can you see?"

Alice's smile lit up her face. "Bella is going to be my best friend." She showed me a vision of her and Bella giggling over a topic of conversation that had yet to unfold. I could sense Alice's anticipation and excitement behind the vision.

"The only other clear vision is of, well, you saw it earlier."

Indeed, I had. I could easily recall the image of a terrified Bella running from an unknown threat.

"She is in danger. Isn't she?"

Alice nodded her head yes. "Though in danger from whom or what, I don't know. I suppose only time will tell."

Alice was a relatively patient person, but not having the answers to this particular problem was bothering her a great deal. With nothing more to say, Alice wished me good night and took her leave. I returned the earbud to its rightful place and turned the volume back up. I closed my eyes and was, for once in my endless existence, grateful for my inability to sleep and therefore dream. Because if I could, my subconscious would have haunted me with nightmares of Bella suffering amongst the shadows.

Detecting Problems Early: Since fuel system issues often start small, they can be easy to overlook until they cause major mechanical failures. For example, clogged injectors can lead to uneven engine performance or even engine repair.

Balancing Costs: Regular truck maintenance requires an investment of time and money, but skipping these services can result in more expensive repairs down the road. Texas Truck Repair offers flexible finance options to help truck owners balance the cost of regular truck servicing with their budget.

Keeping Up with Technology: Diesel engines and fuel systems continue to evolve, making it important to keep up with new diagnostic tools and repair techniques. At Texas Truck Repair, we use the latest technology for truck diagnostics and fuel system servicing.

4. Preventive Maintenance and Fuel System Care

To ensure that your truck’s fuel system operates efficiently, preventive maintenance is essential. This includes:

Fuel Filter Replacement: Changing filters at regular intervals to prevent clogs.

Fuel Injector Cleaning: Periodic cleaning of injectors to maintain optimal fuel delivery and engine performance.

Fuel Pump Inspection: Regular checks for signs of wear or damage, particularly in trucks prone to Cummins X15 fuel pump problems.

System Flushing: This process removes contaminants and moisture from the fuel lines to improve the engine’s efficiency and longevity.

Texas Truck Repair recommends incorporating these steps into your routine maintenance schedule to prevent costly breakdowns.

5. Common Fuel System Issues and Repairs

Some of the most common fuel system issues include:

Clogged Fuel Injectors: Blockages in the fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Faulty Fuel Pump: A failing fuel pump can cause engine misfires, stalling, or a complete breakdown.

Fuel Leaks: Leaks in fuel lines can be hazardous and lead to reduced fuel efficiency or damage to other engine components.

Addressing these problems early is essential. Texas Truck Repair specialises in truck transmission repair, engine repair, and fuel system diagnostics, ensuring that trucks stay on the road longer and operate more efficiently.

6. Balancing Maintenance with Operational Needs

Truck operators often face the challenge of balancing regular maintenance with the need to keep their vehicles on the road. Mobile truck repair services, such as those offered by Texas Truck Repair, provide a solution by offering on-site maintenance, including fuel system servicing and emergency roadside services.

Whether you're managing a fleet of commercial trucks or an independent trucker, it's essential to plan for regular fuel system checks without compromising your ability to meet delivery deadlines. Scheduling maintenance during off-peak times and using mobile repair services can help minimise downtime.

7. Impact of Fuel System Maintenance on Overall Vehicle Health

Neglecting fuel system maintenance can lead to severe consequences for your truck, including engine failure and excessive wear on critical components like the clutch and brakes. Conversely, proper maintenance improves fuel efficiency, reduces emissions, and ensures smoother engine operation, ultimately prolonging your vehicle's life. Prioritising regular fuel system care is essential for maintaining your truck’s reliability and efficiency.

At Texas Truck Repair, we emphasise the importance of preventive maintenance, including fuel system care, to keep your truck performing at its best. Our comprehensive truck servicing ensures that no aspect of your vehicle is overlooked, from the fuel system to wheel alignment and structural welding.

Fuel system maintenance is essential for truck reliability. By addressing issues early, performing regular checks, and using quality fuel, you can enhance performance and prevent costly breakdowns. At Texas Truck Repair, we provide comprehensive services, including fuel injector cleaning and engine diagnostics, ensuring your truck remains road-ready with minimal downtime.

Thus, one should make sure that their truck is road worthy at all times and that any mechanical issues are fixed as soon as they arise. In this blog post we will provide general recommendations on how to maintain a car and how choosing the right repair shop is crucial for your car; specifically we will focus on Volvo cars and will explain why it is better to go to Simi Center.

Why Regular Volvo Truck Maintenance is Crucial

Volvo trucks has been famous in the world due to its durability and high performance levels. However, just like any other car, there are certain requirements which need to be met in order for them to function as intended. Lack of proper maintenance leads to expensive repairs being made in the future and a shortening of the amount of use given to a truck.

What Maintenance Should Be Done Regularly?

Here are some key maintenance tasks you should regularly perform on your Volvo truck:

Engine Oil and Filter Changes: Regular oil changes are vital to keeping your engine running smoothly. Ensure you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for oil change intervals.

Brake System Check: Brakes are one of the most critical safety components of your truck. Regularly inspect the brake pads, discs, and fluid levels to prevent any potential issues.

Tire Maintenance: Tires need to be checked for wear and tear, pressure levels, and alignment. Proper tire maintenance improves fuel efficiency and ensures safer handling of your truck.

Cooling System Maintenance: The cooling system is essential for preventing your engine from overheating. Regularly check the coolant levels and inspect the radiator and hoses for leaks.

Transmission Service: Keep an eye on the transmission fluid and consider having a transmission flush at recommended intervals to avoid transmission issues.

Electrical System Inspection: Regularly inspect your truck’s battery, alternator, and wiring to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Top Features to Look for in the Best Semi Truck for Owner Operator

As an owner-operator, choosing the right semi-truck is a crucial decision that can significantly impact your business's profitability and overall success. With numerous options on the market, finding the best semi truck for owner operators requires careful consideration of several key features. This guide will help you navigate the essential aspects to look for, ensuring that your investment yields long-term benefits.

. Fuel Efficiency

Look for trucks with a well-designed sleeper berth, especially if you frequently embark on long-haul trips. A spacious sleeper cabin with amenities like climate control, storage compartments, and entertainment options can make life on the road much more comfortable and enjoyable.

. Payload Capacity

The payload capacity of a semi-truck is a critical factor that affects your ability to transport goods efficiently. The best semi truck for owner operators should offer a balance between payload capacity and fuel efficiency. While larger payloads can increase profitability, they also require more powerful engines and sturdier suspensions, which can impact fuel consumption. Carefully evaluate your typical load requirements and choose a truck that can handle your business needs without compromising on other important features.

. Maintenance and Repair Costs

Owning and operating a semi-truck involves ongoing maintenance and occasional repairs. The best semi truck for owner operators should be easy to maintain and have readily available parts. Trucks with a reputation for minimal breakdowns and affordable repair costs can save you money in the long run. Additionally, consider the availability of service centers and authorized dealerships for the brand you choose, as this can significantly reduce downtime when repairs are needed.

. Resale Value

The resale value of a semi-truck is an important consideration for owner-operators who plan to upgrade their vehicles in the future. The best semi truck for owner operators should retain its value well over time, ensuring that you can recover a significant portion of your investment when it’s time to sell. Brands with a strong reputation for reliability and performance typically have higher resale values. Additionally, well-maintained trucks with complete service records and minimal wear and tear are more likely to fetch a good price on the resale market.

Selecting the best semi truck for owner operators is a decision that requires careful consideration of various factors, including fuel efficiency, reliability, comfort, payload capacity, and maintenance costs.

Invitations Make For Selfish Behavior

[First Day Phenomenon] [Risk & Visions]

Fandom: The Twilight Saga x Life and Death

Pairing: Bella Swan/Edythe Cullen

Rating: Teen

Warning: Blood and blood consumption, grief, and implied homophobia.

Word count: 3,825

Summary: Against her better judgement, Bella accepts Edythe’s offer to be her ride while her car is in the shop. Bella faces bigotry from her classmates, but finds an ally in Jessica Stanley.

January 25, 2005 (Bella’s POV)

I could feel Edythe’s eyes on me as I entered my house. The sound of the door closing was quickly followed by the sound of Edythe’s Volvo pulling out of my unpaved driveway. I forced myself to not peak out the door’s window, less she sees me blushing. I stayed by the door and listened until I heard her car turn off onto the next street. What was it about the bronze-haired goddess that made my slow heart race and my face flush with affection?

I walked down the short front hallway, entered the small dining area, and placed my bag on the small round table in the corner. The walls were wood paneled, and the carpet was dull gray. It was cold in the house, so I tossed some logs into the old furnace that I had walked past on my way into the dining room. Room was a bit of a stretch. The entire house couldn’t have been more than nine hundred and fifty square feet. To the left of the dining area was a kitchenette. From the refrigerator, I pulled out a gallon of cattle’s blood (it was amazing what you could buy at the butcher shop) and poured it into a glass I had produced from the cabinet. Cattle was by no means my favorite, but it would do until I could go hunting and restock my supply of wildlife blood. I settled into the cushioned chair I kept near the furnace. I spent a few moments warming myself and savoring my drink before getting up to search for a phonebook that was lying around here somewhere.

Finally finding it, I returned to my chair and opened the pages to “E” section. I quickly found what I was looking for. “Eagle Auto Repair & Towing”, the auto shop that Edythe had told me had towed mine and Tyler’s vehicles away. I called the number listed. A front desk clerk answered and after explaining who I was and the situation I was put on the line with a mechanic. I was told that my truck wouldn’t be available until Saturday. Holding back a frustrated groan I thanked the mechanic before hanging up. I then tossed the phonebook onto the floor where it landed with a thud. The sound echoed in my ears. To human ears the noise wouldn’t have been noticed, but to my ears the sound vibrated against my skull. It was a nuisance, but I could deal with it.

Back in the kitchen I rinsed out my glass in the sink, washed it, and dried it with the kitchen towel. After which I returned to the dining table where I had placed my bag. I seriously considered forgetting the homework that had been assigned. Surely the teachers would understand why I hadn’t been up to doing it? In the end I decided to just get the work done and over with. It hadn’t taken long at all, and I finished within the hour. I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was a bit past five pm. So, I returned my books to my bag and myself to the kitchen to throw together a quick dinner of spaghetti and meatballs. After I finished my meal and cleaned the kitchen, I dug out the copy of “Mansfield Park” that I had at a local bookstore. The store’s selections had been low and mostly unappealing, so I was pleasantly surprised to find one of my favorite Jane Austen novels.

It had been over two months since Dad was murdered, since my entire life had been turned upside down, and since then nothing in the world felt right. So, when I found “Mansfield Park” buried among a pile of discount books, I felt closer to Dad than I have in a long time. Charlie Swan had been a simple man. His main goals had been to raise me to be independent and to know that I was loved. And to make the most of his immortal existence. Which meant engaging in the activities he loved most; fishing, baseball and reading. Charlie had been a vampire since 1687 and had found many ways to occupy his time. One of which included reading books. Dad had been partial to horror and mystery novels but had a hidden love for the classics. Such as “Jane Eyre” and “Wuthering Heights.” Then he had me and when I was old enough, he introduced me to his favorite authors and their works. Now, as I turned the pages of my book, I felt my father’s presence.

I methodically turned the pages of the novel, carefully reading each word. Even going back to reread sentences, then paragraphs, and then whole pages. As I read and reread the pages the minutes ticked by. As the minutes turned to hours, I knew that I was prolonging the inevitable lull of sleep. It was my least favorite time of day, or rather night, when I had to sleep. It was the only time when I was completely unguarded. And if that wasn’t bad enough, it was the only time that the nightmares took over. Only they weren’t nightmares but were horrible memories that were far too real.

The wall clock chimed to tell me the hour. Eleven o’clock on the dot. Reluctantly, I put my book away and put out the furnace. The whole house steadily became cooler and cooler. I went through my nightly routine. Which mostly consisted of a long hot shower where I spent most of it scrubbing mercilessly at the crescent scar that disfigured my wrist. For several weeks while on the run I had managed to hide out in a mountain home in Wyoming. It had once been my childhood home where Charlie had taught me how to control my vampire abilities. Dad and I had traveled all over the country since leaving Wyoming, but that place had always felt like home. I felt safe there. That was until James found me. He attacked me and I crippled him by tearing off part of his leg, but not before he managed to sink his teeth into my wrist. The fire of the venom as it coursed through my veins was excruciating, but I wasn’t going to let it stop me from escaping. I knew that the pain wouldn’t last long. It would die down to an annoying sting before my own venom completely eradicated it from my system. So, I forced myself to run. To get as far away from James as possible while he reattached his leg and recovered. Now, the only evidence of my last encounter with the sadistic vampire was my ugly scar.

The water had long been running cold before I turned off the shower. I stepped out and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel. I grabbed the brush and worked it through my hair. It was long, dark, and straighter than I’ve ever been. As I worked the bristles through the strands of hair, I took notice of the various shades that human eyes could never see. Strands of mahogany and bistre wove their way through the brush. All the strands and shades of brown twist together to make the dark brown that my school peers saw. Only under sunlight would they see shades of red. My dark hair contrasted with my cream-colored skin creating a striking effect. The fog cleared from the mirror, and I caught sight of my arms. The muscles underneath my smooth skin were strong and lean. I never considered myself vain, but I knew I was beautiful. I knew that I was just as lovely as a vampire.

I placed the brush down on the bathroom countertop. As usual, not a single thread of hair had tangled itself in the bristles. Perk of having unbreakable hair. I dried off, threw on some flannel pajamas, and brushed my teeth. The venom that coated my teeth was acidic to anything that could possibly stain them, but I liked the tingling clean sensation that spearmint toothpaste left behind. My bedroom was a second story loft space that overlooked the dining area. Just like the living room below, the loft space was carpeted. Though rather than gray the carpet was a faded golden brown. I crawled under the quilt of my bed and forced my eyes to stay open. I did not want to face the horrifying nightmare, but as the rain fell against the windowpane it created a hypnotic effect. Bit by bit my eyelids grew heavy and even with supernatural strength I couldn’t keep them open.

The next morning, I awoke to find that neither James nor Victoria had murdered me in my sleep. I considered that a good start to my day. Once I dragged myself out of bed, I poured myself a bowl of cereal in the kitchen. The room was still dark as the sun hadn’t even risen yet, but thanks to my superior sight the darkness didn’t hinder my movements. The rain from last night had let up but I could still hear the sound of the morning mist against the walls of my house. Sitting at the kitchen counter, I slowly at the bowl of cereal. As I chewed my food, I considered calling Edythe. The clock read six thirty, that wasn’t too early to call right? I knew that she was a vampire, that she didn’t sleep, but she didn’t know that I knew that. Would it really be so bad if she knew I am a vampire-human hybrid? No, it wouldn’t, but getting Edythe =dragged into my troubles and possibly hurt would be. Perhaps it would be best to keep her at arm’s length. I put the empty bowl in the sink and returned to my room. I rummaged through my dresser and pieced together an outfit for the day. Not sure how I managed to take my time selecting an oversized sweater and faded jeans, but I did. It was just after seven as I laced up my boots. School didn’t start for another hour. To pass the time I brewed myself a cup of tea and sat down on the carpeted steps that led to the loft. From there I could see, off in the distance, the first rays of sunlight breakthrough the trees.

As I sipped my tea, I heard the sound of a familiar engine. I smiled to myself. That was Edythe’s car in the distance, speeding toward the town limits. Soon enough I would catch a glimpse of silver as the Volvo turned onto my street. Just as I predicted, I saw Edythe’s car coming down the street at around eight. I placed my empty mug in the sink and grabbed my bag from the dining table where I had left. I then stepped outside, locked the door behind me, to wait for my ride. As Edythe’s pulled into my driveway, I greeted her with a little wave. Thoughts of keeping her at arm’s length seemed to have disappeared from my mind. All I could see was her bright smile lighting up her golden-rod eyes.

“Good morning, Bella.”

“Hey, Edythe,” I replied as I opened the passenger door and got in. “How was your evening? Did you sleep well?” Of course, I knew that she didn’t sleep at all but what can I say other than I think I’m funny?

“My night was pleasant. How did you sleep?”

I noticed that she avoided the question regarding sleep, but I wasn’t going to say anything. “I slept well enough.”

Edythe had started the drive to the high school which was only a few minutes from my house. The time was filled with simple conversation. She asked me if I had gotten in contact with the auto shop. I filled her in on the conversation that had transpired.

“Unfortunately, my truck won’t be available until Saturday. Does your offer to drive me to the shop still stand?”

“Of course. As does my offer to drive you to school for as long as you need me.” Edythe’s eyes widened as she registered what she said. “I mean it. As long as you need it. My help that is.”

I was amused by her ramblings, but I didn’t let it show on my face. Or at least I hope I didn’t. No point in embarrassing the poor girl further. “I understood what you were trying to say. And I appreciate it. You’re sure you don’t mind being my chauffeur for the rest of the week?”

Why wasn’t I turning her down? It was too dangerous for her to get close to me. It’s not like I couldn’t walk. And if it rained, so what? That’s what an umbrella was for.

“I don’t mind at all. Really Bella I’m happy to help you.”

“And your siblings don’t mind? How are they getting to school?”

“They don’t mind. They’ll be taking Rosalie’s car. Trust me, she’s happier driving her own car than sitting in the back seat of mine.”

Edythe turned into the school parking lot which was already filled with the student population. As I stepped out of the car, I felt the eyes of my peers. It must have been quite a sight to see the mysterious new girl with one of the elusive Cullens.

“I’m going to be the talk of the town again.” It wasn’t a question. I already knew my day would be spent fending off questions about yesterday’s accident. Edythe, who had also gotten out of the car, looked around the sea of students.

“I would say so. Would you like me to walk you to your first class? I could fend off any intrusive peers.”

I came so close to turning down her offer, but I just couldn’t do it. As much as I knew it was bad for her to get close to me, I found myself craving her company. So, like a fool I said yes. Edythe and I walked side by side. I took the chance to admire her from my peripheral vision. Edythe was slender and petite, just an inch shy of my five feet and four inches. Her bronze-colored hair was pulled up into a messy twist. Curls fell from the updo to frame her face. She wore a pale lavender sweater that hugged her curves and the color brought out the delicate lavender of her eyelids. If I didn’t know better, I would think that Edythe was wearing eyeshadow. The sleeves were rolled up and the material was too thin to provide any protection from the cold, but I knew the weather didn’t bother her. We stopped in front of Building 3 where my English class is held.

“Would you join me for lunch?” Edythe asked me before we parted ways.

‘Just say no. You can’t get any closer to her than you already have. Say no.’

“Yes. I would like that.” ‘Dammit.’

Edythe smiled at me as if my answer just made her day. “Well then I’ll see at lunch time.”

I simply nodded my reply too afraid I’d say something stupid. The smile remained on Edythe’s face as she bid me a good day. I entered the classroom and took my seat. As the other students filed in Mike stopped by my desk.

“So, what’s the deal with you and Cullen?”

“Edythe? How do you mean?” I had a pretty good idea what he meant, but I wanted to hear him say it.

“You know. You two looked pretty cozy. People will start to talk.”

“Firstly, anything between Edythe and I is nobody else’s business. And if people want to gossip about two teenage girls because their own lives are so boring and unfulfilling then that’s their business. Secondly, the only thing between me and Edythe is kindness and a ride to and from school because your buddy’s reckless driving put my truck in the shop.”

Mike’s blond hair and hyperactive personality made me think of a golden retriever, but that wide eyed and gaping expression on his face brought to mind the image of a goldfish. Mr. Mason, the English teacher, entered the classroom before Mike could respond.

“Mr. Newton please take your seat.” Mike walked away from my desk, still appearing to be in shock. As the remaining students took their seats the school bell rang. I kept myself from cringing at the shrill noise. Truth be told, I had never been to school before now (Dad home-schooled me) and had no idea that a school bell was so loud. It made my ears ring and my head throb. I hated that stupid bell.

The rest of the morning couldn’t go by fast enough. If the student body wasn’t talking about the car crash, they were talking about the rumors that were being spread about Edythe and I. Were humans really so backwards in their beliefs surrounding sexuality? I knew they had negative opinions, but I was so used to the acceptance of vampire law that I didn’t consider how humans viewed the subject. I had never had too before now. The bell that singled the end of fourth period rang and the students rushed out, eager to get to the cafeteria building. I was among the last of my classmates to leave and I was stopped by Jessica.

“Hey Bella. How are you doing today? I hope that all this talk hasn’t gotten you down.”

“Not really. It’s annoying, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.”

“Good. I wouldn’t want you to think everyone thinks that way.”

“So, you don’t…” My voice trailed off.

Jessica shook her head, her dark voluminous curls bouncing as she did. “Nope.”

By this point we’d reached the cafeteria and pushed through the doors.

“Are you going to sit with us today?” Jessica asked referring to herself and her classmates whom I had sat with yesterday. “I promise to keep Mike and Lauren off your back.”

“I appreciate that, but I’m actually supposed to sit with Edythe.”

“With just Edythe? Or with all the Cullen-Hales?”

I stopped in my tracks. “I’m not sure.”

Something about sitting with five vampires I didn’t know made me feel incredibly on edge. I began looking around the cafeteria and noticed Jessica doing the same. I spotted the Cullens at their usual table, but Edythe wasn’t with them.

“Bella look.” Jessica directed my attention to the other end of the cafeteria where Edythe sat at a table by herself. She gave me a little wave when she saw me staring. I blushed and waved back.

“Come on Bella, lets go get you some food so you can get your flirt on.” Jessica and I grabbed our food and went our separate ways, but not before she wished me luck. I approached Edythe’s table.

“Is this seat taken?” ‘Smooth Bella.’

“Please, help yourself.”

I sat down in the chair next to Edythe, setting my tray on the table. Edythe grimaced at the food.

“That does not look appetizing at all.”

I looked down at the greasy slice of pizza, salad, and bottled lemonade. “It’s not so bad.” ‘It’s actually worse.’

“Are you sure about that?” Edythe had the cutest lopsided smirk. She couldn’t read my thoughts, but she could clearly read my face. I picked up the greasy pizza. I took a bite and chewed slowly. Gah! What was with school food tasting like cardboard with tomato sauce?

“See, like I said, not so bad. But perhaps I’ll stick to just the salad.”

Edythe chuckled. That’s when I noticed she didn’t have a tray of food. ‘Wonder what her excuse will be?’

“Where’s your lunch, Edythe? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I had a big breakfast this morning. I’m not very hungry.”

I nodded my head and bit my bottom lip to keep from smirking. I picked up the plastic fork from my tray and dug into my salad. After a few bites and a sip of lemonade Edythe got around to asking the questions I knew she would eventually ask.

“May I be forward, Bella?” I nodded for her to continue. “How did you get out of the way of the van? That was an impossible feat.”

“Just must have been lucky I guess.”

“That was some incredible luck.”

I shrugged. “I had an adrenaline rush. It’s very common in a life-threatening situation.” I ate some more salad and drank some more lemonade. “Was that your only question?”

“I have a few. Were you perhaps bitten by a radioactive spider?” The corners of her lips curled up indicating that she was joking. At least mostly.

“Certainly not.” ‘As if a spider’s pincers could break through my diamond-hard skin.’

“Then perhaps kryptonite is involved?”

“You do know that kryptonite weakens Superman’s powers? It’s not the cause of them.”

“Well, there goes my best theories.”

We laughed together. Ever since I met Edythe, I found myself feeling lighter than I have in a long while. There was a time when I’d didn’t think I’d ever laugh again. Not since Dad…since Dad…

“Bella. Bella!”

I blinked away the tears that had blurred my vision. Tears fell down my cheeks, the intense cold of the venom slightly stinging my skin. Of all the human traits I could’ve inherited, why did crying have to be one of them?

“I’m sorry. I just thought of my dad and I…” I choked on silent sobs and couldn’t get the words out. Most of the town, if not everyone, knew that my dad had died even if they didn’t know the truth of how. They just knew the story I had spread around town.

“Hey, hey it’s okay.” The pad of Edythe’s thumb brushed against my cheek wiping away the tears. A pulse of electricity tingled against my skin. My face warmed with the rush of blood to my cheeks.

“I’m sorry…”

“You do not need to apologize.” Edythe interrupted me. “You have every right to be upset over such a loss. Can I get you anything?”

“No, I’m alright. Thank you though.” I wiped away the rest of my tears with the sleeve of my sweater. “What is it we were talking about?”

“You were shooting down my carefully constructed theories.” Edythe lightly teased me.

“Oh, yes. Radioactive spiders and kryptonite. Groundbreaking theories.”

I took a swig of lemonade then used the sleeve of my sweater to wipe away the rest of my tears. The lunch hour continued on without any more waterworks from yours truly. Edythe and I walked to Biology together and after my last class of the day, Edythe was waiting for me outside of the gymnasium. After dropping me off at home she wished me a pleasant evening and sent me away with a promise to see me in the morning.

Only two more days. I could allow myself the pleasure of her company for two more days. What would it hurt?
