Meeting Bella

Edwards's POV

I had just finished draining my last deer when I heard a child crying, but I couldn'thear any voices using my power, it was completely quiet. So I followed the crying tofind a little girl no older than the age of 4. She had big brown eyes-puffy fromcrying-and long brown hair with pale skin almost as pale as me. She wore an anklelength blue dress and a blue ribbon in her hair. I decided that I wouldn't hurt to seewhat going on. So I stepped out of the trees, when the girl saw me her eyes grewwide.

"Did daddy send you?" she sniffled

No sure how to answer I just said the first thing that came to mind "What's yourname?"

"B-B-Bella." she stuttered

Wait a sec did she say Bella? Isabella Swan? Chief Swan's daughter? I wonderhow she got here.

"What's your name?" she asked

"Edward Cullen."

"I wanna go home!" Bella cried

Oh boy. I wasn't sure where her house was; I guess I should take her home toCarlisle so he can help.

"It's okay," I soothed "I'll take you to my house to see if we can get you home."

"Okay, but I don't see a car." Uh oh. Great mess you've gotten yourself intoEdward, I mentally kicked myself. Kids keep secrets though right? And if they didn'tpeople would think they've made it up, right?

"Bella can you keep a secret?" I asked. She just nodded, confused.

"Well, I ran all the way from my house really fast." Her face lit up, I took that as a

- 5 -

good sign.

"Really? Jacob can run really fast too! He beat everybody at recess!" Ha, as if apreschooler could outrun me!

"It's not like that Bella I can run faster than a that, get on my back and I'll show

you." By now Bella's eyes were all dry but big with wonder, she stood up from thefallen tree she was sitting on and started to climb my back. That's when I smelledthe most mouthwatering sent I had ever smelled in all my life. And I almost attackedher there and then ,if I had not hunted only a few minutes before. She felt me stiffenand asked "Are you okay, Eddie?" Eddie? Where did that come from? I concentratedon that trying to distract me from the smell, "yeah, ready to go?" I half whispered

"Yups" she replied and then I started to run. The wind from running distracted me

from her smell, oh free from the sent! I couldn't believe I almost attacked a 4 yearold!

And then it was over, I stopped in front of the house to let her catch her breath.

"Bella, you okay?" when she didn't answer I got anxious "Bella?" I looked behindme at her she looked like she was going to faint. I grabbed her off my back worried.

"Bella!" I relaxed when her eyes came into focus, right now I had to hold my

breath, and it felt so weird.

"Eddie?" she was still dizzy.

"Are you okay?" I repeated, when I looked back she had passed out, so I took herinto the house.

"Carlisle!" I called out. Instead, Alice came zooming down the stairs, giving me aquestioning look when she saw Bella in my arms.

What is she doing here Edward?

"She got lost in the woods." I answered

What will Charlie think?Alice fretted oh boy Edward you ran here with her onyour back?

"There was no other way Alice, besides I don't think Charlie's home, he doesn't gethome until late at night."

Was Bella left alone?

"I don't know; just let me take her up to my room so she can rest so we can talkbetter." Alice just nodded. I ran up the stairs into my room and placed her on thecouch, and then a blanket over her, she looked so peaceful sleeping there, I shookhead of the thought. Since when did I care about children? I ran back down to the

living room, to find the whole family there with Alice.

"Oh Edward, she's so adorable!" Alice squealed "we should go shopping and buyher clothes, yes, that's right we could go today-"

"Alice!" I cut her off, she pouted till jasper came to soothe her.

"We should be her babysitters!" Rosalie suggested. I knew she would love it if we

did; she's always wanted a child

"We should ask Bella what happened first before we jump to conclusions." Esmesaid

"I agree." Carlisle added. Then I 'heard' Alice having a vision:Bella was rubbingthe sleep out of her eyes walking down our stairs.

"Well, let's just ask her now, because here she comes." Alice informed; we all

turned to the stair to see her walking toward us yawning. Her tiny feet hittingagainst the wood floor. Before I could say anything Alice was in front of herintroducing everybody.

"Hello Bella, I'm Alice and this is Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, andEdward." Alice grinned, Bella smiled shyly back at her.

"oh umm 'ello!"everybody smiled. Then we hear a sound we all knew, but hadn'thear in a long time- the sound of a stomach growling. So Esme cut in.

"You want some food, honey?" she asked, Bella nodded her head vigorously.

"How about we go into the kitchen and Esme can make you food while you tell ushow you got lost in the forest?" Rosalie suggested, Bella's eyebrows furrow lookingworried,

"Am I in trouble? I didn't mean to get lost and the nanny was so boring she fell

asleep, and she snores so loudly that-"

"Bella!" am I feeling dj vu or what?

"It's okay your not in trouble just tell us what happened from the very beginning."Esme started to make a grilled cheese sandwich bleh.

"Here you can come sit in my lap if you'd like" Rosalie offered, oh she's adorable

please, please come sit in my lap! Oh I've always wanted a little girl they're just socute! She thought.

"M'kay" Bella smiled happily, Rosalie grinned.

"Well, this today mommy had to work, and daddy didn't so I could spend quantitytime with him," does she mean quality time? "but then daddy had a last minute callso he got a nanny to watch over me but she was so boring and fell asleep, so I went

outside to the forest 'cause I heard daddy talk 'bout it one time, then I walk for along long long time till my legs hurts too bad and I cried but I tried to be tough likedaddy says- then Eddie found me and took me here!" upon hearing her sayEddie mysiblings snickered, I shot them a death glare .Hey why don't I get to call you Eddie?Emmett complained teasingly. Just then to save me from more embarrassment,Esme set Bella's sandwich in her lap.

"'Ank you" Bella mumbled, before eating her sandwich faster than I thoughtpossible for a four year old.

"I should go call the nanny and tell her that Bella's okay" Jasper muttered.

"Can we go play outside now?" Bella asked eagerly, looking toward me withpleading eyes.

"Of course you can." I mumbled. Wow how did she do that? She leapt out ofRosalie's lap running outside, Rosalie and Emmett following her. Oh Edward I thinkshe's got you wrapped around her little finger!Alice cooed, I growled,

"She's gotten all of us wrapped around her finger after one day! Including youAlice." She just stuck her tongue at me. Jasper came back with Carlisle at his side,"We called the nanny and told her she was fired and told Charlie that she's with us."He informed us "Let's all go outside before they get into any trouble." I could hearBella laughing; it was such a joyful laugh it made you want to join- which all of usdid! Emmett was swinging Bella around, his laughter booming throughout thewoods. Then I heard:I think it's my turn with Bella, it's time to take her shopping!

Mother Mary of all things holy save us from Alice in-wait for itShopping Mode!

"Beeellllaaa!" Alice sang "Do you want to come shopping with me?"

"But I don't have any money with me!" Bella protested, bringing another round oflaughter

"We have all the money you'll need Bella. So do you wanna come of not?" Alice

asked again

"Alright!" I had to save her from this but there was no way, so then I said,

"I'm coming too."

At Home

OME! you guys thank you so much for reviewing I love all of so much, Kayhere the next chapter!

Bella's POV

Ahh! This was hurting my feet, my arms are tired, we have been here for aveeerrrryyy long time, and Eddie looks ready to kill Alice each time she enters astore. But Alice is so happy I don't want to make her sad so I just be quiet. Jaspercame too but he doesn't say anything, I guess he's used to it and every time I feellike I wanna stop he gives me a reassuring smile and I feel okay again

"Oh Bella, Here go try this on!" another? Oh well here goes; I entered a dressingroom and tried on the 56th outfit today. It fit. Big surprise there Alice is almostnever wrong.

"Alice! It fits!" I called, Alice smiled "Great now try this on!"

"Umm Alice I'm kinda tired can we go 'ome now?" I asked, I gave her the saddestlook I ever had it always worked on daddy

"Yeah Alice it's almost 7o'clock Charlie's coming home in an hour." Eddie joinedin. Alice looked really angry

"Ugh! Why! We were having so much fun!" Alice complained "Okay then let's go"

Finally! I was so happy I gave them the biggest grin ever, Edward suddenly smiledback, grabbed my hand then led me right out the door, with Alice and Jasper behindus. When we got to my house I decided I wanted to give them a tour.

"Come on you guys I want to show you my house!"

I ran up to the door a tripped and put my hands out in front of we to save myselfbut somebody did that for me, when I looked up my eyes met Eddies. I blushed, saidthank you, grabbed the key from its hiding spot, and beckoned for everybody tocome in. I showed them the whole house till we finally came to my room.

"And this is my room!" I opened the door Alice gasped

11/116

"Oh no! You can't have this room knowing Alice Cullen. Me and Rosalie will haveto go shopping again later." Good thing I'm not going this time. After we put awayall my clothes Alice stood up.

"Well we better get going then if we are going shopping again." What? No! Theycouldn't go; I wanted them to stay longer! No! I looked at them Jasper gave me a

sympathetic look and shook his head. I knew Alice wouldn't stay cause she had toshop so I looked to Eddie. He looked torn maybe he would stay.

"Will you stay please Eddie? Please? I'll be all alone till mommy and daddy comeshome. Please?" I begged.

"Okay but only till they come home," Edward surrendered. Score!

"Kay, then you two have fun." Jasper called while walking out the door.

"What are we going to do first" Eddie asked.

"We can draw! Didja know that's my second favorite thing to do?" I questioned

"Really? Here, how about we draw and ask questions at the same time" Eddiesuggested. Hmm sounds okay.

"Okay let me get my coloring stuff." But before I could grab them Edward hadthem in his hands. When we were drawing I had told him that today my favoritecolor was brown, my birthday was on September 13th, my favorite gemstone wastopaz, and my favorite flower is freesias. I learned that the Cullen children were alladopted; he was born on June 20, 1901, they only drank animal blood he was really17, his full name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, his eye color was green beforehe was changed, and he could read minds but not mine.

When I showed his my picture he grinned and asked if he could have it I said onlyif I could have his, he agreed; mine was a picture of him, but it looked messy and hiswas a beatiful drawing of us playing in a meadow. Then we heard the door slam andscreaming between my mom and dad.

"Shut up! You don't even know what I'm going through!" my mom yelled

"I at least know you shouldn't be doing this!" dad screamed back

"You fu-"Edward covered my ears at that point. I knew they said so I startedsobbing into Edwards's chest. Why were they fighting? Will they break up like

- 11 -


12/116

Jessica's parent's? What did mom do? All these questions swarmed my head makingme sob harder. Edward just smoothed my hair down and whispered calming wordsto me. We could both tell the fight was dying down so Edward said:

"Bella I should go before they come up." I pouted but I knew he would have to go.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" I pleaded

"If you want me to"he trailed of

"Yes!"

"Okay then, see you tomorrow, Bella. Thank you for the picture." He kissed mycheek and left through the window. I tried to fight the panic rising in my throat as

my parents came up the stairs. They finally reached the door and peaked in; whenthey saw me sitting on the floor with Edwards drawing in my hand, eyes all blotchy,they came in.

"Bella, you okay?" mom asked concerned

"Are you guys breaking up?" I prayed that they would say no.

"No Bella." dad responded quietly his face still a little bit red from the fight.

"Okay then goodnight." I said quietly

"Goodnight Bella" they both whispered as they shut the door. I changed out of myclothes and slipped into my new pajamas from Alice. When I laid my head on thepillow I realized that my front tooth felt wiggly. Ha. Out of all the things thathappened today I guess it took too much stress and decided it was almost time to go.That was the last thought I had before sleep overcame me.

Thank you guys soo much if you read this far, I love you (as a friend I amnot lesbian)yes renee is in this she leaves later though. Kay sorry for takingso long to update if I do it will probably be on Wednesday or Thursday, justso you know. Please review, pretty puleez with a cherry on top?

Bella's Revenge

Guys I am soo sorry see my computer broke, then I have my electionproject, and we hiked up a mountain (no, I didn't see Edward), then my

half-sisters birthday and Halloween so everything was just so crazy so puleezforgive me, puleez? Here is the next chapter it's extra long to make up forall that time I didn't write. Its Emmett POV so there's some cussing goingon.

Emmett's POV

The entire family had gone hunting and since it had already hunted I was incharge of watching Edwards little Bella. Ever since that day in the forest he's been

so happy with Bella. And Bella was really mature for her age, after Edward taughther how to read, she went full speed ahead. That's how I found her when I peeked inher window. Then I had an idea. I ran then leaped up to window and yelled at thetop of my lungs, and trust me, that is loud.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Bella screamed falling to the floor. I startedcracking up, her face was priceless.

"EMMETT!" She shouted again when she saw who it was.

"S-s-s-sorry B-b-Bella" I managed to get out between my guffaws. She put herhands and her hips and pouted. It took awhile but I finally stopped laughing. So Ikneeled down so Bella could get on my back.

"Come on Bella we're going to my house" She reluctantly climbed onto my backthen whispered darkly in my ear,

"You're going to wish you were never born after I'm through with you." And forsome reason I knew she meant it . There was nothing I could do about it now so Iran to the house and into the kitchen and set her on a chair then grabbed a pen andnotepad and walked slowly up to her.

"So Miss. Swan, what would you like for breakfast today?" I chuckled

"Well Mr. Cullen, I would like 3 pancakes with 5 marshmallows, 8 strawberrieswith 2 spoonfuls of sugar, then hot chocolate with marshmallows, scrambled eggswith ham, and waffles no syrup but with powdered sugar." Damn! I may not know

much about human food but I knew that was A LOT of food for a little girl. Bella justsmiled back at me innocently.

"Bella are you sure you should eat all that?" I asked incredulously.

"Oh Emmett trust me this is exactlywhat I need." Whatever. So I went to the

kitchen and made her breakfast. To bring all the food to her I had to make two trips.When I came back with the second part of her food she had finished half of the firstalready!

"Gosh hiccup- Emmett - hiccup- what hiccup- took you so-hiccup-long?" Hiccupsmuch?

"Gee, Bella, it only took me a couple of minutes." Before I could get all the words

out she had already started eating. And by the time she finished she was jumping upand down all over the room. Uh oh, so this was why she wanted all that food-theyhad sugar. And I'm guessing she acts abnormally to sugar.

"HAHA! EMMETT, I LOVE SUGAR!" Shit. Edward is gonna kill me. Unless she iscalm by the time he gets here.

"Bella come here!" I called, looking around the room. Then I spotted her on thestair case holdingno, no, NO! My Xbox 360 and a hammer!

"Bella, easy now," I said slowly "just put the Xbox down." Bella giggled and shookher head. She placed the Xbox on the floor and held the hammer high.

"Bella please, please don't do this!" I begged.

"Too late!" And with the said the slammed the hammer down on the Xbox

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Bella!" I jumped toward her but she duckedand ran to the garage. I looked around, although I couldn't see her I could her hearbreathing- behind my jeep.

"Bella, I can hear you I know where you are." I threatened. Then I went to the sideof my car and couldn't believe what I saw. TheENTIREright side painted pink withbutterflies and flowers. When the hell did she have time to paint that? Before I couldsay any more Bella disappeared again. What now?

"Bella I think it's enough your in so much trouble. I don't care what Edward saysat this point you are so dead!" I growled as I walked in the house, well what was left

of the house. Everything was trashed, as I walk into each room I realized I'mprobably going to be yelled at for 10 years.

In Carlisle's office all of his papers were on the floor books scattered everywhere,in Edwards's room the couch was torn up and CD's were lying broken, in Rosalie'sand mine's room the bed was ripped, and Rosalie's makeup set was all over the

walls, when I came to Alice's and Jasper's room I almost fainted, and vampires can'tfaint! Alice's Clothes were burning! I ran downstairs and grabbed the fireextinguisher, then ran back up and sprayed everywhere.

"Bella! Where the hell are you? I swear once I find you your going to regret theday you were born!" I boomed. I saw her hiding behind the door so I grabbed herthen took her down the stairs and onto the couch.

"Isabella, do you know how much trouble your in?" I asked standing over hermenacingly.

"I'm sorry." she sniffled. At the worst possible time I heard my family come in thehouse.

"Emmett Cullen what are you doing to her and what have you done to this house?"Rosalie whacked me on the head.

"Rose it's not my fault I swear you see I scared her the she told me that she wouldget me and asked for food then got all hyper and made a mess and painted and carpink with flowers and butterflies and broke my Xbox and put Alice's clothes on fire.."I rambled on trying to get out of trouble

"ENOUGH!" Edward snarled "You will clean up this house by your self and youwill not baby sit Bella again. No objections." I could see Bella trying hard to notsmile; I gave her a dirty look. Next we all heard when Alice found out whathappened to her clothes.

"EMMMMMEEEEETTTTT!" Alice screeched then ran down to me in a flash.

"Emmett Cullen you are coming shopping with me everydayof the week for mynew wardrobe!" She said with venom

"Alice no please I'm begging you please don't!" I sobbed without tears. Bellagrinned her devil smile. Later Bella found me scrubbing the walls of Rose's and

mine's room.

"Now Mr. Cullen have you learned your lesson?" Bella questioned

"Yes" I admitted defeated.

Family

I know you hear this all the time but really thank you for reading andreviewing and favoring but I don't know what an authors and stories alert is

could you explain it to me in a review? But if it's a good thing thank you forit too. I feel like going on a humor streak sobut if you don't like it just tellme. Well here's the next chapter!

Alice's POV

I just had a vision that we were going to have a makeover and show with Bella andit was going to be hilarious. So I ran to Bella's house only to hear Charlie and Reneefighting again. So I knocked on the door a couple of times, when the didn't answer I

tried the handle- it was open so I walked in and saw them yelling in the kitchen andBella hiding by the stairs, eyes wide and red from crying.

"THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE WHY DO YOU EVEN LIKE IT?" Renee screeched

"BECAUSE IT IS MYHOME!" Charlie snapped. Bella sobbed even harder then sheput her hands together and started praying.

"Please, please make them stop fighting and go back to the way they were beforeplease!" She begged. When she opened her eyes she saw me and got up from herplace on the stairs and ran toward me.

"ALICE!" Bella exclaimed "Oh Alice!"

"Alice what are you doing here?" Renee questioned shocked. Charlie just stared insurprise.

"Well I came to pick up Bella for some fun things I planned for us- that is if you lether come." I explained

"S-s-sure" Charlie stuttered still kind of shocked, Renee glared at him.

"Thanks! Come on Bella." I smiled at them as we walked out the door. With Bellaskipping at my side. As soon as they were out of sight Bella climbed on my back andI ran us home.

"What are we going to do?" Bella inquired as I opened the door to the house.

- 17 -


18/116

"We are-"

"Edward!" interrupted Bella, smiling happily as she jumped of my back and ran toEdward. Edward grinned from ear to ear.

"Hey Bella!"

"Umm excuse me!" I said annoyed

"Sorry Alice" Bella apologized "What are we going to do?" I smiled

"We're gonna have a makeover and show!" I replied happily watching her eyesgrow wide in horror.

"No please Alice we had one Friday!" Bella begged, Edward just stood therelooking sympathetic.

"Yes we are now lets go!" I grinned mischievously knowing what was going tohappen next from my vision but hiding it from Edward's power

"Then Edward is coming too!" Bella decided. Edward yelped

"What?"

"Please Eddie? Don't make me go through this alone!" I've got to hand it to hershe knew how to manipulate him.

"Okay" Edward gave in like I knew he would

"Great!" I cheered "Now let's go get Rosalie." After that we all went to my roomand got started. Edward sat in front of Bella so she could do his hair while Rosalieand I stood up redoing Bella's hair. Every so often Rosalie, Bella, and I would let outa giggle because of what Bella had done so far to Edward only to be silence by adeath glare. Finally we finished with her hair so Bella stood up so she could do hismakeup. By now Edward had butterfly clips, headbands, bows, and glitter all overhim.

"Eddie stop moving!" Bella scolded, Edward scowled, then Bella reacted bysmacking him on the head only to hurt her hand. Then she held her hand out toEdward,

"Kiss it and make it better?" She asked sweetly, Edward laughed then kissed it.

- 18 -


19/116

"AWW!" me and Rosalie crooned. They both glared

"How much more things do you have to put on?" Edward complained. So far hehad everything on, pink eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, and blush- it was hilarious.

"We're done. Now all you have to do is change into this outfit." I held up his outfit.

It was a pink shirt that said princess in rhinestones across the front and there was ajean skirt with pink high-heels.

"YOU WANT ME TO WEARTHATOUTFIT?" Edward yelled. Rosalie stared rollingon the floor with laughter

"SHUT UP ROSALIE!" Edward growled

"Pretty please Eddie please?" whispered desolately as she put on bambi eyes.Edward whimpered

"Fine! Give it to me." He grabbed the outfit and ran into the bathroom. A minutelater he came back out, all of us collapsed in laughter. Edward was the funniestthing I have ever seen in my life- and that's a long time. Bella ran up to him andgrabbed his hand

"Now we do the show." She informed him

"It can't get much worse than this." He muttered

"Come on." Bella tugged on his arm. When they were walking I ran to our familyand told them to wait on the couch.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper inquired, I grinned

"The funniest thing you will ever see in your life. Even funnier than Emmett!" Withthat I ran to the stereo and played

Other Side of me

- By Hannah Montana. I signaled to Bella to start walking out with a very angrylooking Edward.

The other side

The other side

- 19 -


20/116

The other side of me

Emmett and Jasper howled with laughter, Esme tried to muffle her laughter withher hand and Carlise tried to disgise his laughter with a fake cough.

By day, I play

The part in every way

Of simple sweet, calm and collected

Pretend, to my friends

I'm a chameleon

Can make a girl feel disconnected

Feel like a star

A super hero

Sometimes it's hard to separate

(Got too much on my plate)

Rosalie and me were laughing on the floor again. Bella just smiled and walkeddown the stairs with Edward. "Yeah I've never knew you had this side to you Edwardor should I say Edwina?" Emmett called out.

If you could see


I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell

I hold the key (the key)

To both realities

The girl that I want you to know

If only I could show

- 20 -


21/116

The other side...the other side

I want you to see



Inside, I try

To make the pieces fit right

A jigsaw puzzle everywhere

I was sure that if Edward was human he would be tomato red, but the blush bellaput on him seemed to make up for it. Edwar looked ready to bolt any minute.

'Cause I flip the script

So many times I forget

Who's on stage, who's in the mirror

Back in the spotlight

The crowd is calling

The paparazzi and the fame

(It can drive a girl insane)

If you could see



I hold the key

To both realities


- 21 -


22/116

If only I could show


I want you to see



Down inside I'm not that different

Like everyone I have a dream

Don't wanna hide just wanna fit in

Sometimes it's harder than it seems

If you could see



I hold the key

To both realities


If you could see



I hold the key (the key)

To both realities


- 22 -


23/116

If only I could show (yeah)

Emmett whistled loudly and Jasper laughed even harder from the emotionscoming from everybody. Rosalie snapped pictures of him, he threw us a nasty look.


I want you to see (yeah!)




I want you to see

The other side..the other side of me

Everybody clapped at the end. Edward cursed at us then ran off to go change.

"Go Edward!" Emmett called to him

"Shut up!" Edward snapped suddenly pining Emmett down on the ground.

"Now calm down Edward." Carlisle cautioned. Edward went back up to his room

"Bella go upstairs to see how he is doing." I encouraged, Bella nodded and startedto go upstairs and we followed

"Guys cover your thoughts." I warned, they gave me a thumbs up. We creptupstairs with Bella till she reached his room then we hid while she went in his room.

"Eddie you okay?" she asked gently, we unnecessarily pressed our ears to the doorto hear better.

"Yeah I'm okay but my family is crazy." He admitted then he stopped, andsuddenly opened the door all of us froze.

"Family." Bella repeated giggling.

So how was it? Should I quit now? Just kidding, but you guys were

Goodbye

All I can say is wow. There were so many reviews, favorites, and alerts! Inever even thought someone would read my story, so thanks. I was reading

The Little Princess to my sister and I thought that this one part would begreat for the story so don't sue me I don't own it! I'm going to try somethingnew and switch of POV's between the chapter. Also Bella has already seenEdward in the sun just in case you get confused.

Edwards POV

Today I decided I was going to take Bella to a meadow i found yesterday so Ipicked her up from preschool and drove as far as the car would allow then stopped

right before the trail.

"Okay Bella here's where we get out." I said excited to show her the meadow.

"Where are we going?" she pressed for the thousandth time

"It's a surprise." I knew she hated surprises but I knew she would love this. I kneltdown she could climb onto my back; then we left the car far behind us. It only took a

minute then I stopped right before the trees opened up. Bella squinted eggar to takethe last steps to her surprise.

"Ready?" I asked

"Yups" she replied. So I grabbed her hand and we took the last steps together into a meadow. I heard her take in a breath.

"Edward this is beautiful! Just like in the picture you drew for me!" she squealed

in delight and ran toward the center of it where the sun was shinning the most andspinned around getting a better view of the place. I couldn't help but think she wasthe most gorgeous thing I had ever seen. I pained me to think that I endangered herlife every second she spent with me.

"Eddie come on! Watcha waiting for?" Bella called to me. I walked over to herhuman pace and hugged her, when Bella hugged me back I felt like I would burstwith happiness everything was perfect. We played around for awhile till Bella wasworn out. So I ran us back to the car and started to drive her back home.

"Thanks for showing me the meadow." Bella thanked me

"No problem Bella I'm glad you liked it." I said pulling up into her driveway. Ireached for the key and opened the door. I saw Renee stomping down the stairs withsuitcases in each hand. When she saw us she gave us a pained look. This is going tokill Bella and Edward but I can't stand living here one more minute! She thought.

My world came crashing down because I knew what was happening.

"Bella we're leaving." She stated. Bella let out an ear piercing shriek then startedcrying.

"NO! Mom please no I can't leave! What about the Cullen's? Mom please don't dothis to me!" Bella begged. While Bella was begging my heart was breaking intopieces.

"I'm sorry Bella I can't stay here any longer and I'm not leaving you behind." Shesaid flicking her gaze to Charlie for a minute. Charlie's face was of pure torment.Why, He thought, what did I do wrong? She can't possibly leave and leave with mylittle Bella too!

I sat down I had no idea what to do I was going to miss her more than anything inthe world it felt like somebody had ripped my non-beating heart out of my chest,tore it to pieces, then burned the rest.

Renee's POV

I felt so bad for Bella and Edward I knew how close they were but I just couldn'tstay here any more I hated Forks. It was always wet and raining all the time, andslowly all my love for Charlie disappeared, I mean I still cared I just don't love himthe way I used to. Edward looked heartbroken and Bella was crying so hard, it hurtto see them like this. But eventually Bella would move on, she's only four and hermemories of him will fade. Edward sat down and (A.N. this is what I got fromThe little princess I just adjusted it a little)Bella sat on his knee and held thelapels of his coat in her small hands, and looked long and hard at his face.

"Are you learning me by heart, little Bella?" he said, heartbroken, stroking herhair.

"No," she answered. "I know you by heart. You are inside my heart." And they puttheir arms around each other and hugged as if they would never let each other go.

Bella started crying even harder I almost considered letting her stay but I couldn't. Iwould be lost without her. I felt bad for Charlie too. He just stood there hardly

27/116

comprehending what was happening, but slowly tears started to run down his face.It was a wonder why Edward wasn't crying. I couldn't take the sadness anymore so Istarted walking toward the door.

"Come on Bella, it's time to go now." I said softly. She slowly stood up and gaveEdward a kiss on the cheek and Charlie one too then she ran upstairs and came

back down with what looked like a drawing of her and Edward in meadow walked tome and held my hand as we walked out the door together.

"Goodbye Edward, You'll always be my bestest friend." She sobbed. When Iopened the door I saw the rest of the Cullen's getting out of their car looking sad.How in the world did they know we were leaving? They slowly walked up to Bellaand each gave her a hug a said their goodbyes. I got into my car and started theengine and waited until Bella got inside. I pulled out of the driveway watching them

all wave goodbye. As soon as we were out of sight Bella really broke down sobbingher eyes out, I stayed quiet because I knew it would do no good. As was startedgetting on the highway Bella pulled out the drawing and touched Edwards facelightly and whispered his name as she soon fell asleep.

Edward POV

When that car pulled out of the driveway life had no meaning to me anymore. Iloved Bella like I had loved no one else before and now she was gone, taken away by

one swift little choice. I needed to leave here there were too many sad memories, soI ran. I didn't know where or how long but I knew why. As I was running I heardother my family following me. Emmett pulled up to my side.

"Sorry Edward but there's no way you're not leaving without us."

So how was it? I know it was sad but I had to happen sooner or later. Wellguys ya know that thanksgiving break is coming right? Well I'm going toFlorida so I won't be able to update that week. Sorry. But review and I mightfind time to update but only if you review. It makes me soooo happy whenyou do.

I Miss You

Oh my Edward! I'm piled w/ homework it seems like I've missed a month ofskool, ugh. Also thanks to Kaelean for part of the idea that I'm usingwell

anyhoo here is the next chapter

Bella's POV

I watched the Cullen's in the driveway slowly getting smaller. When I couldn't seethem any more I took out the picture Edward had drawn for me. I lightly touched hisface thinking about how I would never see him again, that made me cry even harder.I could see my mom in the front looking at me from the mirror.

I cried until I ran out of tears and fell asleep, I woke up to see the car parkedoutside of an airport mom my was already unloading our bags. I reluctantly climbedout of the car, when she smiled me I just glared. A guilty look came across her facewhen I did. Eventually we boarded the plane, my mom on one side and an old ladyon the other, when she saw my heartbroken face she looked startled.

"What is wrong honey?" she asked

"Nothing." I responded as I gave her a fake smile, she just nodded. Then when sheturned away I whispered,

"Everything."

Edwards POV

After running for a while we found ourselves in Denali in front of Tanya's house. Isaw her run out of the house followed by the rest of her clan.

"Edward!" she cried happily "What brings you here to Denali?" She had to ask thatquestion? It's okay Edward I got it Carlisle thought. Nodded in his direction inthanks

"We decided to move on." He stated simply

"Okay then. Well come in we have so much to catch up on. Oh hello Carlisle,Esme, Emmett, Jasper" she greeted then frowned

"RosalieAlice." She added later. Alice and Rosalie glared. I knew why, Tanyathought of them as a threat because they were closer to me than her even though Ionly thought of them as sisters. My heart belonged to Bella. Forever. I knew I wouldnever love anyone else as much as I loved her. I closed my eyes feeling the pain thememory brought me. It'll get better EdwardJasper thought feeling my painyou'llfind her again someday. Tanya's thought's wormed into my head Earth to Edward!

You okay?

"I think I'm going to go hunt now." I didn't wait for their answer before I ran off. Icaught the scent of a deer and leapt for it bringing it down. After I finished drainingthe deer I looked up to meet a pair of big brown eyes.I took in a sharp breathBella!I thought, only to see that it was the fawn of the deer I just drained.Monsterits eyesaccused. I raced back to Tanya's house and into the piano room I had bought lasttime I came and started to compose the start of a song. God how I missed her

Yeah I know it was short but I really wanted to get it over w/ and back to

Edward + Bella! umm I may be asking for a lot but could I please have morereviews? Please? Well hope you liked it I'll try to update soon. Wish me luckon my strings concert!

Coming Back To Forks

Hey guys thanks so much for all those reviews we're almost at 100 well notreally but I would LOVE it if we did! Some of you may want me to prolong

the separation but umm everybody else (including me) is getting anxious sosorry if the jump between the times are too big but I really I'd have nothingelse to write if I continued like that.

Thirteen years later

Edward's POV

"Edward you can't just go moping about everywhere you go come out we all want

to talk about something important." Alice called from the other side of my shut door.I searched her thought to see want it was all about but all I got was Selena Gomezsongs-she was blocking me out

"Okay I'm coming." I muttered as I walked human pace out of my room. When Ilooked around my entire family was in the living room, including the Denali coven.When Tanya saw me she smiled really big.

"Edward we've decided we want to move back to Forks and Tanya wants to comewith us. We're leaving tomorrow." My mouth dropped open in shock

"I'm sorry Edward but we all want to go back home and being here is obviouslynot helping so since Forks is the place we all like the most and Tanya hasn't beenthere in over a decade, there is where we want to go and your coming with us."Alice stated stubbornly, for some reason I knew the thing she was hiding from mebefore had something to do with Forks.

Bella's POV

"Bye mom." I said lovingly

"Honey you don't have to go!" My mom protested

"No it's okay I want to go. You and Phil take care of each other!" I kissed hergoodbye before boarding the plane. So here's the deal after moving away fromForks, Washington leaving my best friend behind, my mother and I moved toPhoenix, Arizona. She quickly met Phil- her new husband. Since Phil moves around a

- 30 -


31/116

lot for his job my mother became sad being away from him so I decided to go back toForks to spend time with Charlie- my dad. As a sat down in my seat I saw a motherreading her daughter a book of fairytales and I couldn't help compare love tofairytale books you see love is like a fairytale bookyou live it for a awhile then thebook just has to end. How much I wished my fairytale book didn't end.

When the plane landed I looked around the airport to see my dad waving aroundat me

"Bella! Bella!" Charlie kept calling out

"Dad!" I smiled; between the both of us we must have drawn the attention of halfthe airport. When I reached him we hugged kind of awkwardly with all my bagsbetween us. Eventually I got all my bags and hopped into the police cruiser. Driving

from the Port Angeles airport to Forks took some time so not knowing what to say toeach other left a big uncomfortable silence.

"I like that shirt on you, is it new?" Charlie asked trying to make conversation

"Umm, I have it for about 3 years." I stated

"Oh." After that we didn't say much occasionally asking question. As we sped by Iwondered if all my old friends were still here, but most of all I wondered about the

Cullen's.

"Umm dad?" I asked hesitantly

"Yeah?" He answered wondering what my question could be

"Where are the Cullen's now?" I said in a rush, he just smiled remembering thosetimes.

"Funny you should ask," he turned a corner close to home " Well, they left rightwhen you left but they just came back a few days ago with this girl named Tanya andare attending Forks High which will be your new school." He informed. Tanya?Who's she is she Edward's girlfriend? They'll remember me right? While I wasdriving myself crazy with questions we pulled into our driveway where an old redtruck was parked. I gave my dad a questioning look.

"Well you see I know you don't like surprises but you need a way of transportation

so" Charlie trailed off I grinned wide this truck was perfect if I ever got into acrash my car would leave without a scratch.

32/116

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" I grinned and gave him a big hug. He grinnedback, happy that I liked it.

"Well let's get your stuff in so you can have a good nights rest for schooltomorrow." I decided. I grabbed my bags and followed him upstairs and walked intomy old room. All at once memories came flooding back I gasped in shock.

"Bella you okay?" unable to speak I just nodded "Well I'll give you time to yourself.I'll be downstairs if you need me." When Charlie left I closed the door then collapsedonto the bed only to find somebody else sitting there.

"Alice?" I gasped

"Bella?" She said hesitantly

"Alice!" I screamed as I threw myself into her arms forgetting how hard she was

"Silly Bells." Alice chuckled

"God Bella you've changed so much! Last time I saw you were missing your fronttooth and couldn't say the word quality!" She squealed "Now you have boobs,curves, and a gorgeous face!" I felt my face heat up, it probably looked tomato red,"And look! You still blush!"

"Gee Alice I'm flattered!"

"Oh! You've got an attitude!" She looked evilly at me, I scowled but me facesoftened after about two seconds and curiosity got the best of me

"How did you know I was here though Alice?"

"Psychic remember?" she said pointing to her head

"Oh that was stupid." I muttered slapping myself in the head

"Whatever." She dismissed "I know you probably want to see the rest of my familyso I'm going to leave and knock on your front door then ask Charlie if you can come,which he'll say yes to, then you come with me and we go see the rest of the family!"

"Okay what are we waiting for then?" I asked excitedly but before I could look at

her she was gone and I heard a knock on the door, and Charlie greeting Alice. Irushed down stairs right when Charlie opened his mouth to call me.

- 32 -


33/116

"Alice!" I pretended to meet her for the first time

"Bella!" She pretended back

"Well Bella, Alice has already asked me if you could go to their house, I agreed butyou have to be back before eight." I nodded

" 'Kay then." Alice grabbed my hand and we ran out the door, When we closed theclosed the door Alice beckoned me to get on her back but I eyed her unsure. She letout a big sigh,

"Bella if I can carry a car for over two hours do you think I would have a problemcarrying you?"

"But I-"

"Exactly" She cut me off "Now let's go." Slowly I got on to her back and when iwas on tight she sped off.

Sooooo? What didja think about that?Well what ever you thought tell meabout it when you review. i saw how much you guys reviewed last time so iwas wondering if we could possibly make it to the hundred mark. review asmuch as you can, even on the other chapters again, even if all you write is

Tanya

HOLY GUACAMOLE OVER LE CHOCOLATE COVERED BREADSTICKS! YOUGUYS AREAMAZING WE MADE IT TO 100! I got so many reviews that I

decided to update early!I got a lot of questions about why Charlie didn'tnoticed how weird it was that the Cullen's didn't age, I don't really have agood answer all I have is that once you get to a certain age you don't grow asmuch and Charlie never had a good look at them and they didn't go toschool so... But if anybody's got a better explanation I would love it if you

could tell me. Well enough of my blabbering lets get going!

Bella's POV

"Alice?" I called quietly

"Yes Bella?" She responded while still running

"Umm, who's Tanya?" I blurted before I could chicken out. As soon as I said hername an irritated expression came on her face.

"Tanya," She sneered "is the queen bitch, she hates every female prettier then her

because she thinks we're a threat to her and her chances with men. I hate her." Oh!

"But what does she have to do with you and what has she done that's been so badthat you hate her?" I asked wanting to know more about her

"Ugh, she despises Rosalie and me that most because we're closest to Edward andbecause of a couple of things we've done to her." Hmm knowing Alice I bet those"couple" of things had been pretty bad. But there was something I was worriedabout something that's been bugging me since Charlie mention her with the

Cullen's,

"Alice she dating Edward?" I said warily before I was done speaking she wasgrinning her head of

"No way Edward hates her and says she doesn't know how to take a hint and keepher hands to herself but he's too much of a gentleman to tell her." I cheered silentlyin my head

"Well Bella are you ready to meet the rest of the family?" I gulped then nodded

- 34 -


35/116

after 13 years I could finally see them

"BELLA!" Heard a big booming yell com from the house then before I knew it Iwas sitting on the couch surrounded by vampires. Normally people would freak out,but me? I felt like I was truly at home.

"Emmett!" I yelled back as he swooped me into a bone crushing huge

"Emmett..." I heard somebody warn

"Rosalie?" I asked as I tried to wiggle out of Emmett's grasp and I hugged her asshe hugged me back I turned and saw Esme, Jasper and Carlisle together so I ran tothem next

"Esme, Jasper, Carlisle!" I grabbed onto all 3 of them at once

"It was like we had lost anther daughter." Esme whispered in my ear, and that wasall it took to make me burst into tears I missed them so much.

"Wow Bella you've defiantly grown up!" Emmett whistle, Rosalie smacked him inthe head and I blushed

"What the hell!" I saw somebody screech from the top of the stairs-Tanya. I knew

it right away "Who is she?"

"God Tanya shut the fuck up. If you must know this is Bella Swan. One our bestfriends she recently got back for Phoenix after 13 years." Alice growled defensively

"But she's human." She stated

"She's our friend." Rosalie snapped. Knowing she wasn't getting anywhere Tanyamarched over to another chair and glared at me, everybody else ignored her so I didtoo

"Bella?" A familiar voice gasp. I looked up into golden scorching eyes and moretears came pouring out like a waterfall.

"Edward!" I cried as I threw myself into his cold, hard arms and buried my headinto his shirt, breathing in his scent.

"You're back." I cried even harder if that was possible at the sound of his voiceuntil I heard an annoying cough from the background. I unwillingly pulled apart to

36/116

face her and we I looked at her I glowered

"Yes Tanya?" Edward hissed in his velvet voice

"There are people here; it's rude to ignore us." She explained

"Damn it Tanya, go to hell." Emmett cursed at her; Tanya stood up abruptly andstalked away trailing her hand along Edwards shoulder as she left, I tensed up onlyto feel Jasper calm me down.

"Just ignore her." Jasper said breaking the tension

"Well Bella you have so much to tell us." Rosalie smile happy that Tanya was gone

"Okay then-"I started

"Woohoo Bella when did you get boobs?" Emmett interrupted. I blushed

"God Emmett I already asked her that." Alice teased

"Lord have mercy." Esme cried almost embarrassed as me. Everybody burst intoits of laughter.

"Okay guys Bella's had enough embarrassment." Edward called smiling at me thatsmile took me back 13 years ago when he was drawing that picture of me and him inthe meadow oh!

"Alice?" I looked towards her hoping she would have a vision and go get it for mewhile hiding her mind from Edward

"Ok I'll be right back" she agreed seeing the vision. The rest of the family gave mequestioning looks as she zoomed out the door.

"Where is she going?" Jasper asked, i just smiled and shook my head. Emmettstarted laughing

"What's so funny?" Jasper and Edward asking at the same time

"The fact that your girls are keeping secrets from you!" Emmett laughed again ilooked toward Edwards face.I was suprised at the 'your girls' part; was I Edwards

girl? Edwards face had a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

- 36 -


37/116

"Actually Emmett, Bella and Alice aren't the only one's keeping secrets." Rosaliemocked with a smug smile as we all watched Emmetts face turn from humor tohorror

"What?" Emmett yelped making us all laugh. Before we could say anymore Alicecame back with it and handed it to me then sat back down next to Jasper. I turned

toward Edward and took in a deep breath

"Remeber this?" i inquired as i unfolded his drawing of us together in the meadow.Edward gasped

"You've had it after all these years?" I just nodded unable to speak we stared at itfor awhile then passed it around for the others to see

"Do you want to go there now?" Edward said suddenly, his eyes lighting up

"Yeah" I agreed I looked strait into his gorgeous liquid honey eyes I felt likenothing had changed. Except for the fact that i might be falling in love with him.

Edward, I Love You

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while but with Christmas andeverything it was hard. I hope you 4give me.

Edward's POV

I couldn't believe it, Bella was back! Every single cell in my body yearned to holdher in my arms again. But Bella had changed; she had physically changed and Idefiantly noticed. As I ran to our meadow I could feel every inch of her warm bodyagainst my cold one.

Instead of stopping at the edge of the meadow I went strait to the middle, where

the sun was shinning the most. I pulled her gently off my back and set her on herfeet but being Bella she tripped. Before I could think about it my hand shot out tostop her from falling and pulled her into my chest. Her breath hitched and her heartstarted pounding harder.

"Are you alright, Bella?" I asked concerned

"Uh huh" She mumbled, satisfied that she was okay I let go of her putting my

hands on her waist her incase she tripped again.

"I'm fine." She assured me, I waited until her heart rate got back to normal then Ilet go not really wanting to.

"So What did you do these past few years?" She asked filling in the silence

"To be honest, nothing. I hunted every so often and when I wasn't hunting I justcurled up into a ball and sat there. What did you do?" I told her ashamed for being

so useless.

"Well my mom got me enrolled into school, I only made one friend and in 5thgrade she ditched me for 'the popular crew', I never dated anybody, mom gotmarried so I came to Forks and here I am." She finished with a grin.

"You never dated anyone?" I repeated shocked. How could someone a beautiful asher not date anyone?

"Nope," She laughed half heartedly "I was always the clumsy freak, I never fit in."

- 38 -


39/116

"Your not a freak Bella," I disagreed "I'm the one who hears voices in my head." Iwatched her face carefully to see confusion mask it.

"Speaking of that can you still not hear my thoughts?" She pressed. Frowning Ilistened carefully. Not hearing anything because we were so far away fromeverybody and I still couldn't hear anything from her. So I shook my head. So we

spent an hour like that just asking questions about each others lives. After a coupleof hours I found her in my lap with me playing with her hair, I didn't realize how lateit got until the sun started to go down casting a beautiful sunset in the sky.

"Wow." Bella whispered in her enchanting voice. We sat there for a few moreminutes until I broke the silence

"Okay Bells I think I better get you back home now." She pouted unwilling to leave

but she stood up anyway and climbed onto my back I ran slower than usual toprolong my time with Bella. Eventually we reached her house, when I pulled her ofmy back I turned to say goodbye. When she noticed what I was going to say she puther finger over my lips

"Please don't leave; go up to my room, the window is open. Let me make Charliedinner and get ready, but please don't leave." She begged, giving me the puppy dogeyes. And she told me I dazzled her!

"Alright, don't take too long." I called to her before I rushed up to her room. Isettled down onto her bed. It didn't take long before I heard her come into the room.

"You stayed!" She cried and flung herself onto my lap (a.n. sound familiar?) Ilaughed and wrapped my arms around her and I couldn't help but notice howperfectly we fit together. Yup, Bella still had me wrapped around her little finger.

"Are you going to school with us tomorrow?" I inquired

"Uh-hu, I got everything ready so Alice can't bug me about it tomorrow." Sheannounced proudly. Slowly her eyes started drooping and her sentences becameslurred

"Bella I think it's time for you to go to bed." I whispered quietly

"Hmmm" She mumbled to tired to form words. So I picked her up and tucked herinto the blankets and started to hum a tune I started when I first met Bella. Then I

heard Bella start to speak

- 39 -


40/116

"Hey i like skittles too! Hand them over!" I chuckled quietly. I had forgotten shetalked in her sleep and that it was very amusing. So I quieted down to listen to hersome more

"Tanya your the ugliest vampire I have ever met, now give me some of those damnskittles!" She screeched

"You don't even eat them! I hope someone rips you up and burns the pieces!"

"You got m&m's too? What the hell!" I frowned at Bella's cussing it was so wierdcoming out of her innocent mouth i guess I didn't like it because I knew her whenshe was a kid. Then Bella uttered words that would have made my heart pound 100miles per hour if I was human

"Edward i love you"

i know cliffy sorry but i could resist every story has one. Also I wasthinking of doing another story but as a warning it might take me longer toupdate then so you guys make the choice tell me when you review, i'd do apoll but i have no idea how to work that stupid thing. Hope you like thischapter, sorry for the delay, and merry late christmas

Everybody

Hehe I love everybody's reactions to the candy they were so funny. I'venoticed the author's notes have been pretty long so I'll try to shorten them.

:D

Edward's POV

I didn't know what to do, how to react, or if she just meant the friend "I love you".Since I didn't know which one I decided to just not push for the answer although Idesperately wanted to know. I knew if I confronted her with my questions she'd getembarrassed. So while she was asleep I decided to get her some skittles and m&m's.I quietly opened the window and left.

I ran to the nearest store to look for the candy. Finding it quickly, I walked out ofthe store and to the rest of my family at home. As soon as I walked in the door Alicewas in my face trembling with impatience.

"Did you hear what she said?" Alice shouted in my ear. At Alice's loudnesseverybody else came down the stairs, excluding Tanya, she was angry at us forbeing rude while Bella was here.

"What are you guys talking about?" Rosalie wondered

"Only the fact that Bella told Edward she loves him while she was talking in hersleep!" Alice squealed, everybody gasped.

"So Edward's not gay!" Emmett exclaimed, his face pouting

"Pay up Emmett!" Jasper grinned, holding open his hand while Emmett handed

over the money. I growled.

"Alice she may only have meant the friend type of love." I disagreed

"Yeah right," Alice snorted "I saw it! Remember when we first met her? It was soobvious that you were going to end up together and the fact that our in love with herdefiantly shows."

"Alice I have no idea what you are talking about. Now before you wear me out I'mgoing to get ready for tomorrow, Bella's first day of school." I pointed out

- 41 -


42/116

"God Edward, you thought I forgot?" Alice asked, horrified. I walked upstairsbefore she could say anything more.

Tanya's POV

Ugh. From my room I could hear Edward come in and talk about Bella. It hurt to

think about it. I have been in love with him for over thirty years and he doesn't showthe slightest hint of loving me back. It hurt to see him look at Bella with so muchlove in his eyes and not even notice me standing there. She was human for cryingout loud, and all the Cullen's preferred her over me, even Carlisle and Esme;although they won't say it, it was obvious they did.

Rosalie and Alice already showed they hated me and would do anything to makemy life more miserable, Emmett and Jasper loved her like their sister and would hurt

anybody that looked at her the wrong way, Carlisle and Esme thought of her asanother daughter, and EdwardEdward I knew was in love with her, even though Iknew that, I still tried my damn best to make him love me. I tried to make himjealous with the other guys, I dressed up in revealing clothes, spent hours on mymake-up and he didn't even notice.

Now Bella comes into his life again and it's like I don't even exist. It has been onlya day and I already hate her. When Edward was in Denali he was miserable, now Ican tell it was because he was away from Bella. There must be some way to get

Edward to love me and Bella out of his life. What ever way it was I was going to findit, no matter what!

Bella's POV

I was having the most wonderful dream ever, well, in the beginning it was reallyfrustrating; Tanya and I were fighting over candy. Then Edward came in and took me

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" I groaned searching for the snooze button

"Bella you better wake up or else your going to be late for school." A velvet voicewhispered softly into my ear.

"Five more hours." I begged

"You now most people ask for five more minutes." He chuckled. With a big sigh Iopened my eyes to find Edward right in front of me.

"Yes but why would I do that five minutes isn't a very long time." I explained while

- 42 -


43/116

getting out of bed. I grabbed my clothes and shoes

"I'm having a human moment, will you wait for me?" I asked

"Of course." Edward smiled. I quickly brushed my teeth and hair then I changedmy clothes, wanting to get back to Edward. Happy with the outcome I walked out

into his arms.

"Why hello there beautiful." Edward whispered in my ear. So, naturally, I blushed.

Which made him laugh out loud.

"Shhh, What about Charlie?"

"He left before you woke up." Edward explained

"Oh" I started to walk down the stairs to have breakfast while holding Edwardshand. I grabbed a pop tart and sat down to eat. I watched Edward as he sat downthen started to pull something out of his pocket. He grabbed my hand and a placedsomething in it. When I looked to my palm there was a bag of skittles and a bag ofm&m's.

"Ah! Skittles and m&m's!" I squealed happily "Thank you!" I threw my arms

around him in a big hug; we fit perfectly together, like to puzzle pieces. I looked upinto his eyes, they were topaz today, and they were so deep like they went onforever. Edward looked back into my eyes, we stood like that for awhile, but I didn'twant to move, slowly, I looked toward his lips and leaned forward, he did the same.Then suddenly the door flung open.

"Is everybody ready for school?" Tanya yelled looking strait at us, I almostgroaned right there, I felt like slapping Tanya right there. I kept getting interruptedwhen I was about to kiss Edward, even in my dreams!

"Oh, did I interrupt something?" she challenged, grinning evilly. I pulled backreluctantly from Edwards arms and stood up face to face with Tanya.

"No, nothing at all." I said through my teeth, knowing I wouldn't be able to hurther, I stalked past her to grab my bag and coat, except being me, I tripped. I put myhands in front of me to brace my fall. When the fall didn't come I realized there wasa pair of cold arms wrapped around my waist. Edward.

"Thank you." I said quickly, embarrassed. Tanya snickered. I let out a frustrated

sigh and stood up properly and picked up my stuff.

"Are we all going in my car?" I asked not really wanting Tanya to come

"No," Edward disagreed "We're going in my car." Pulling out his keys. Confused, Iopened the door to find a shiny, silver, Volvo parked in Charlie's spot. When did that

get there? When we got into the car Edward started the engine and dove off.

"Is Forks High big?" I asked,nervous now

"Nope." Edward reassured me

"But since it's so small word travels around fast. So right now everybody isanticipating your arrival." Tanya interjected resurfacing my worries. I saw Edward

throw a frown in Tanya's direction.

"Everybody?" I squeaked, my voice rising up an octave

"Everybody." Tanya confirmed

So how was that I'm pretty proud of this chapter for some reason, I don'tknow why. please review!

Love

chapter and all of the next, you guysare awesome! Thank you!

Bella's POV

Everyone! I knew I was not going to fit in properly already and I haven't evenstarted yet! Oh dear lord if you have any love for me left you will not let meembarrass myself.

"Oh and just to warn you, the Cullen's don't talk to humans here if they can help

it, only I do that, so people will be bombarding you with questions." Tanya added tomy worries

"Damn it!" I groaned; Edward threw me a disapproving look. I was too nervous torespond so I just put my head in my hands and whimpered.

"Great this is just great!"

"Don't you want people to know you?" Tanya inquired, knowing perfectly well howI don't fit in. Before I could say anything Edward interjected,

"No, Bella was never one for being the center of attention." I tried to give him asmile but I came out looking like a grimace.

"Bella it's going to be fine, you have all of us. It'll be alright." Edward assured me.

"Will I see you guys between classes and lunch?" I asked, looking up toward him,

worried.

"Of course, you'll probably have a couple of subjects with either Alice, Me, orTanya. Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie are playing as senior's while we play as juniors.Rosalie and Jasper are the Hale twins, Emmett, Alice and I are the Cullen's andTanya is our cousin."

"We're here!" Tanya announced happily. I looked around and saw a smaller schoolthan mine back in Phoenix, but this one had many separated buildings and trailers.Edward pulled into the parking lot drawing in a lot of stares. I noticed that the

Cullen cars were the newest cars in the lot. Edward turned of the engine and cameto my side to open the door. I stepped out of the car, curtsyingan invisible dress.

"Why thank you kind sir." I said in a British accent. Edward gave me aheartbreaking smile then bowed,

"It was my pleasure dear lady." Edward replied. Everybody around me looked atme like I had three heads and blue skin. I blushed tomato red,

"They're staring." I squeaked. Edward leaned down and put his lips next to myear,

"It's because you're so beautiful." He said in his velvet voice. My breathingstopped, I looked up into his deep topaz eyes and internally sighed. He was too

beautiful to be real.

"Let's go guys." Tanya whined, Edward leaned away and start to lead me to theoffice when the rest of the Cullen's pulled up next to us and came out.

"Sorry we're late; the girls just couldn't decide what to wear." Jasper apologized

"Although I wouldn't mind if Rose didn't wear anything." Emmett saidsuggestively, wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Shut up Emmett! For that, we are not going to have any fun tonight!" Rosaliescolded

"Eww! Please stop!" I begged, everyone laughed.

"Come on guys, Bella has to got to get her schedule." Alice interrupted and startedto walk toward the school.

"As if you didn't already know what was on it." Edward laughed, following her,pulling me with him. We walked into the school and turned to what was, obviously,the office.

"We'll stay right behind you but you need to ask for your stuff." Alice informed me.I walk up to the lady at the desk, slightly shocked the sight of the Cullen's

"Hello! You must be Isabella Swan!" She welcomed, coming out of her daze

"Bella" I corrected

"Bella." She reaped try out my name "Here is you schedule, a map of the schooland this is for you to get all your teachers to sign and bring back here at the end ofthe day." She said pointing to each paper.

"Thank you." I smiled shyly; I took the papers then turned to the Cullen's and wewalked out of the office

"What do you have?" Emmett yelled as he grabbed my schedule out of my hands

"Emmmmmmeeeettt!" I complained as I leapt up toward the paper but he just heldit up high above me.

"Hmm Trigonometry, English, Spanish, Drama, Government, Biology, Gym."Emmett read out loud "Do any of you have classes with her?"

"I have Government with her." Alice smiled "But I already new that."

"I have Gym with her." Tanya frowned but tried to hide it

"I have Biology and Drama with her." Edward threw me his crooked grin again,making my heart stop. Again.

"We should walk you to your locker now." Rosalie suggested "What number is it?"

I looked down onto my papers

"64" They all seemed to know where they were going so I follow, making sure totake note of where it was. We dropped our stuff off at of lockers then grouped backtogether again.

"We'll, we all better get going the bell is going to ring in a minute." Aliceannounced. We all went our separate ways, except Edward. He grabbed my booksthen my hand and started walking.

"What are you doing?" I wondered

"I'm walking you to your class." He said as though it was the most obvious thing inthe world.

"But you might be late." I objected

"I can run." Edward grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischievousness. I sighed, Iknew fighting with him would be a lost cause, so I nodded then grinned happily. It

didn't take long before we reached my class. I grabbed my books and looked up tohis god-like face.

"Thank you Edward." I smiled happy we spent more time together even if it wasonly for a few seconds

"Your welcome, it was my pleasure." I started to turn around

"Bella?" Edward called before I could take a step

"Yeah?"

"Try not to fall down or attract too much attention, okay?" I blushed a light pink

"I'll try my best."

So how was that? I'll admit I procrastinated a lot, and my new year'sresolution was don't procrastinate, yet I still did. I knew it wouldn't last butI still got it done on time! I felt rushed because I waited to long to start.Whatever, I talk too much, the main thing is for you to review! Pleasereview!

OHEMGEE! 232 reviews! Thank you Someoneyoudon'tknowprobably, DarkWinged Angel AnkokuSama, EDWARDXOXO, and FRK921 for helping me

with this chapter! Thank you! This is extra long because you guys areawesome and you deserve it!

Important: I changed some of Bella and Edward's schedule in chaptereleven after doing some research so you might want to read it again, sorry.

Bella's POV

I took a deep breath and walked to the teacher, who was facing away from me. He

was talking to another student with a baby face, blue eyes, and blonde hair. I tappedthe teacher lightly on the shoulder

"Excuse me?" I said quietly. The teacher turned around to face me,

"Isabella Swan!" He exclaimed "I'm Mr. Varner."

"Please call me Bella." I never liked people calling me Isabella it sounded to

formal. I handed him the piece of paper he was supposed to sign right when the bellrang. I hoped Edward made it on time, but knowing him, he was probably already inhis seat. Mr. Varner scribbled his signature down then handed it back to me.

"Okay class this is Bella Swan. Bella you'll sit by Jessica, Jessica will you pleaseraise your hand?" A girl with dirty blonde, almost brown, curls raised her hand. Iwalked down the aisle toward her. As soon as I placed my books down she attackedme with questions,

"OMG! You know THE Edward Cullen? Are you dating? Or are you just friends?How do you know him? Do you know all the Cullen's? How long have you knownthem? Oh yeah, hi, I'm Jessica Stanley!"

"Umm, hi Jessica, I'm Bella. No we're not dating but he's my best friend, I'veknown him since I was four, yes I know all the Cullen's, and I've known them since Imet Edward." After I said that Edward and I weren't dating I swear her smile goteven bigger. Then Mr. Varner called the class to order and the rest of the class justsped by. The bell rand so I gathered my books and walked out into the hallway whenthe blonde haired boy that Mr. Varner talked to earlier walked over to me.

"Hey, darling, I'm Mike. Do you know what I would do if I could rearrange thealphabet?"

"Umm, no?" I was confused

"I would put U and I together." Mike said huskily, wrapping his arm around my

waist and pulled me closer leaning down toward my face

"Really, I'd put F and U together." I quickly wriggled out of his hands. I walked outthe door trying to get away from him. I looked down the hall for a teacher passingby but all it saw were students who were, one by one, stopping and staring.

"Come on now don't be like that. I'm sure we can work something out." He saidgrabbing me by the waist again but this time he kissed my cheek

"Damn it, stop!" I pulled at his arm trying to get it off me, but he only tightened it.

"Take your hands off of her." Edwards voice, sharp as a knife, came from next tome and grabbed my hand

"Why? Is Eddie jealous?" Mike teased, pulling me closer, so I was pressed upagainst him; suddenly I heard a sharp crack! And Mike was on the groundscreaming, clutching his nose in pain. Blood was gushing down his face; I walked as

far away from the smell as I could get without letting go of Edward's hand. Edwardwalk over to him then knelt down

"Bitch! You broke my nose!" Mike yelled

"Next time I tell you to do something you do it." Edward growled, and then hestood up and walked away. When we did a big crowd rushed up to Mike

"Are you gonna get in trouble?" I asked worried

"No, I have never been caught and I doubt I will be now." Edwards voice still icyfrom our encounter with Mike. We walked in silence to my next class, he droppedme off without a word and left. Hurt, I walked into the classroom and handed theteacher, Mr. Mason, the slip. When he signed it I sat down and was quiet duringclass. The bell rang I walked to the door and found Edward leaning on the wall,pinching the bridge of his nose. I remember when I was little he used to do thatwhen he was frustrated. I walked up to his side and grabbed his hand. When I did it

felt electricity run through me body and fireworks go off in my eyes.

"Bella are you alright?" I heard Edward asked

"Uh hu. Let's go to class." Spanish dragged on slowly because I was bad atSpanish and I really wanted to see Edward. Then the bell rang again, we walked intodrama together since we had the same class. I gave the teacher my slip, as soon asshe signed it she gestured for me to sit down with the rest of the class.

"Today I have decided what we are going to do for our school play!" Sheannounced in a loud voice "We are going to do Romeo and Juliet! Tomorrow I willassign parts no trading of parts and no complaining, got it?"

"Got it." The class echoed. When lunch finally came around I was dead tiered.Everyone kept coming up to me and asking me questions when I just wanted to fallasleep. School was so stressful, and I swear I was going to slap the next person to

come up to me and ask if I was the 'famous' Isabella Swan. Normally I'm never thistiered in school but moving to a whole new school can do funny things. Edwardlooked over to me, concerned

"Bella are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I grabbed my lunch and he led us to where the rest of theCullen's were sitting down.

"Hey Bella! I Heard that Mike tried to rape you! Great start on your first day!"Emmett laughed, I blushed

"Way to make me feel better Emmett!" I groaned

"Your welcome." And that's how most of lunch went

Alice's POV

This was so romantic! How Edward and Bella lean into each other unconsciouslywith his arm around her so protectively! It was so nice to see Edward not be the fifthwheel all the time. Edward had put pizza sauce on Bella's nose so she made him eatthe pizza which made Emmett start cracking up so he made him eat an apple, andEmmett's face had us all laughing. What can I say? Bella fit in with us perfectly shewas part of the family. Tanya on the other hand I could see her in the corner of myeye sitting with Jessica and Lauren, all glaring at Bella. I could see she had a planfor Bella I just didn't know what.

Bella's POV

52/116

I was laughing my head off at Edward and Emmett's face when they ate humanfood, it was hilarious! My stomach hurt from laughing so much and eventually myeyes started watering. Then the lunch bell rang, ruining all the fun. I frowned,

"What's wrong Bella? Don't want to leave me and be stuck in a classroom forforty-five minutes with Edward?" Emmett joked

"Yeah pretty much." I said sarcastically making Edward pout and all of us laugh

"Okay lets go then Mrs. Carter is gonna kill me if I'm lateagain." Emmett saidseriously. We all stood up and walked to our class I followed Edward to the biologyroom. I had Mr. Banner sign the paper then he told me to go sit down next toEdward which I happily obliged. All we did was review and I knew everything so Ijust sat there until the bell rang.

"Oh God!" I groaned

"What?"

"PE. Remember 'Bella the klutz'" I said disgusted as I stopped at the gym doors

"You're not that clumsy." Edward disagreed, I raised an eyebrow. Edward smiled

"You'll be fine. Tanya is there, she will help."

"Umm, yeah."

"Alright, here goes." I said as walked into the gym

"'Bye" I knew I was going to hurt somebody or myself it was inevitable. Me +Gym= Disaster. Coach Clapp pointed gave me my gym locker number and uniform,and then I went to go change. When I walked out I learned we were playingvolleyball. It went horrible. I spiked three people in the back of the head, stomach,and face. One of the people was Mike, I wasn't so sorry when I hit him. I got hit inthe face when I looked up instead of hitting the ball, so now a bruise was starting toform. I was so grateful when Coach Clapp blew the whistle, I actually yelled out:

"Finally!" This of course made everyone look at me and make me blush. I wentback to the locker room and changed as fast as I could to get out of the stupid placewhen somebody tripped me. I knew I didn't trip over air this time, it was defiantly

someone's foot.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, looking up to see Tanya and Lauren standing above me.

"Aww, what's the matter? Baby Bella just got tripped?" Lauren sneered

"Bitch." I muttered. That's when I felt Tanya slap me right across my face leavinga huge red hand mark.

"You better watch your mouth Swan! Edward is mine and you better leave the restof the Cullen's alone! Don't forget what I am and how easily I can kill you!" Tanyawhispered the last few words

"Don't think Edward like you because he doesn't! You're just an ugly little girl withno life so he feels bad for you!" The last sentence stung more than the slap she gaveme. I always knew I never was good enough for him but I still tried.

"That's not true!" I choked back tears threatening to spill over.

"He told me himself Bella. Edward is sick of you; he doesn't even want you nearhim. Face it Bella he doesn't love you anymore, he never did."

Sorry to leave it at that but it's 11:30 and I'm tired. Thank you to all thatreviewed and thanx to Someoneyoudon'tknowprobably, Dark Winged AngelAnkokuSama, EDWARDXOXO, and FRK921. Thank you again! And all my

In Edward's Arms

Bella's POV

After that last comment the tears spilled over and I had to try very hard to notstart sobbing. Lauren and Tanya stalked past me, slamming the door on the way out.I stood up shakily, rubbing away the tears with the back of my hand. I walked outthe gym doors to find Edward waiting there. When he saw me his eyes grew wide,but before he could say anything I spoke

"Edward, if you don't want me around anymore you should've just told me!" Isobbed then walked away. Edward grabbed me by the arm and stopped me before Icould take two steps.

"What are you talking about?" He asked confused

"You don't have to feel bad for me; I can do fine on my own!" I dashed awayleaving a shocked Edward standing in the hallway. I walked to the parking lot aftergrabbing my books, when I realized I had no way to get home without Edward. Istood there and eventually it started to rain. The rain poured down my cheeks as Ilooked up into the sky, my tears mixing in with the rain.

"Bella do you need a ride?" I heard a concerned voice call. I looked around to seegirl named Angela from one of my earlier classes waving at me; I nodded. I walkedover to her wiping the rest of the tears and rain off my face and mumbled a thankyou. I gave her the directions to my house and she started the car while I got intothe passenger seat. When she pulled out of the parking lot I saw Edward staring atme from his car. Our eye's connected for a second until I tore my gaze away.

"Bella are you okay?" Angela asked cautiously

"Yeah I'm fine." I said quietly, we pulled into my driveway and I got out

"Thank you so much Angela." I tried to smile

"No problem." She smiled back, I closed the car door and she drove away. Iwalked toward the door while searching for my keys, when I looked up Edward wasstanding in front of me. I tried to walk around him but he moved in my way

"May I help you?" I asked frustrated

"Bella we need to talk." Edward said firmly

"Oh really? Come to say goodbye?" I said sarcastically

"Bella I'm serious."

"Fine, come in." I gave in, turning the key in the lock and pushing the door open. Iwalked in and Edward closed the door behind him. We walked into the kitchen as Iput my backpack on the counter.

"Alright Edward Cullen, lets talk." I turned around to face him and found myselfpressed up against his chest. I breathed in sharply but didn't move.

"What do you mean 'if I don't want you anymore'? Where did that come from?"

"Tanya said that you were sick of me and didn't want to see me again and that Iwas just an ugly little girl with no life so you felt bad for me and you never likedme." I spilled out everything in one breath. I watched as Edward's face turn fromconfusion to horror to anger.

"Tanya." Edward spit out her name "Bella! Nothing Tanya said was true I do wantyou around and I am defiantly not sick of you! You are the best thing that has everhappened to me in my entire 108 years!" Edward said with so much love in him

voice; he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me even closer to him. My breathwas becoming ragged and I desperately wanted to kiss him.

"Really?" I asked in a quiet voice

"Really." My eye's flickered back and forth between his eyes and his mouth.Edward leaned down and I stood on my toes, and then I tilted my head up and wekissed. It was the best sensation I have ever felt, all my worries disappeared. Thekiss was so sweet and loving, I knew right then and there I was deeply in love withEdward Cullen, there was no way I would love anybody else. He was my soul mate,my other half, he made me whole, it was heaven on earth. The only reason we brokeapart was because I h
