Authors note: This is my third story i have taken the time to write, so I hope you enjoy :)
Bella's POV
BRRRIIINNGG
I heard my alarm going off before Jacob could, I turned over on my side and read the time, 6:30.
I had to get up and go get Jacobs clothes ready for work. Jacob is my abusive, disgusting, pig-headed husband. I stood up
and walked to the closet and pulled out a light blue formal shirt, dark blue jacket, and dark blue pants, I layed that outfit on the bed beside
Jacob. I hate him, I wish I could wake up one morning and not have to see him there, I wish he would leave and never look back, I wish I could
leave and never look back. But Jake would kill me if I did, he nearly killed me last time
I wish I hadn't tried to escape that day, I wish i had just endured the pain he inflicted on me..i didn't, now i'm stuck here until I die. I walked to the closet
and pulled out my favorite hot pink t-shirt, with black designs and my fave black jeans. I walked to the bathroom and put these on.

who in the hell could be at the door this early, my eyes flashed to the clock again 7:00am.
I flew down the stairs, ready to give whoever was on the other side of that door a piece of my mind. I flung the door open and my heart stopped, I
saw a beautiful man with golden eyes, he had light brown hair that stuck up in a crazy style, he had the most mesmerizing facial features i have every seen,
and his smile, he had this crooked smile that made me fall in love that instant. I finally found my voice.
Bella: "Hi," I said as i stuck my hand out to the stranger to greet him, he took my hand but instead of shaking it, he kissed it and I blushed deeply.
Edward: "Hello Bella, I'm Edward Cullen" I don't know what came over me but in my head all i was think was...
Bella Cullen
Bella Marie Cullen
Isabella Marie Cullen
Edward cleared his throat, I must have been staring because he looked at me in an unusual way. I snapped out of it,
Bella:"Is there anything I can help you with Edward?" He slightly nodded.
Edward: "Um yes there is...I'm here to pick up Jacob Black, he needed to carpool to work today.." I slowly nodded
Bella: "Sure, I will go wake him up, why don't you come inside and make youself comfortable." I led him to the living room where he sat on the couch
while I walked up the stairs to go wake Jake up.
I was on the side of the bed trying to wake him up.
Bella: "Jake."I meant to yell but it came out as a whisper, I was scared of him. But he wouldn't hurt me with company here? or would he, I decided to test me luck.
Bella: "JAKE WAKE UP!" I yelled so loud that he jumped up and I cringed.
Jacob: What the hell do you think you are doing waking me up at," His eyes flashed to the clock "Shit, it's 7:00 already, why didn't you wake me up Bella?"
It wasn't a question, he got up and slapped me. I fell to the floor and held my cheek.
Jacob: "Did you at least make breakfast??" I shook my head and he looked so mad that if he were a cartoon steam would be coming out of his ears.
Bella: "Your carpool arrived before I could." I stood up and I started to walk down the stairs but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
Jacob: "If you say anything to him I swear, I'd sleep with one eye open if I were you." then he threw my wrist down and scooped up his clothes, slammed
the bathroom door, I heard the shower turn on. I wrote Jake a note..
Jake-
I left to the store, we barley have any food.
I won't be back before you leave fo work.
see you when I get home :|
Bella
I grabbed my purse and practically jumped down the stairs and lost my balance and Edward caught me, it took my alot in my power not to scream when I saw
Edward , but then I remembered...
He is carpooling with Jake..ugh.
Edward: "Going somewhere?" he chuckled "I think you should be a little more careful."
Bella: "Sorry, carefuls not my thing, I think i will stick with dangerous and clumsy." His eyes glistened with amusement, but then I heard Jacob coming down
the stairs.
Jacob: "What the hell are you guys doing?" He look really angry, it took me a minute to realize I was still in Edwards arms. I blushed and casually slipped out
of his hold and Jacob looked at me like he was trying to say "I will deal with you later", he didn't say it directly because he wanted all his co-workers to think
he was "perfect". I picked my purse up off the floor, not remembering I dropped it when Edward caught me. I waved goodbye to Edward.
Bella: "Bye Edward, Nice to meet you," I walked over to Jake and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Goodbye Jacob" my voice was flat and emotionless when I
said goodbye to him.
After I bid my farewells I was in my car and on the way to the supermarket.
(10 minutes later)
I walked around the store in vegatble and fruit isle, I picked out only what was on my list.
Apples, Kiwi, Cabbage, Lettuce, and other fruits and veggies, But as I was heading over to the checkout line I rammed..
SMACK!!!!
right into to Edward.
Edward: "Small world." I smiled, but then I frowned
Bella: "Yeah, aren't you supposed to be giving Jacob a ride to work? what, are you bailing on him?" He chuckled and nodded and held out his hands like a
was guilty.
Edward: "Ha, you caught me," he waved me off "No, i'm just grabbing a box of granola bars, for the office."
Bella: "Oh well you can't live without granola bars, it wouldn't be a office without 'em." he laughed at my sarcasm
We started walking towards the checkout line together and we were talking like we had known each other for years, but the time ended when we reached
the cashier.
Edward gestured for me to get ahead of him
Edward: "Ladies first." I shook my head
Bella: "You only have one thing and I have a basket full." He smiled
Edward: "Do you have a cellphone? Maybe we can swap numbers and get together sometime," when i started to shake me head he quickly added
"just as friends." I had to smile at him, and I couldn't refuse, but I couldn't let Jacob find out or he would hurt me, or even worse he'd kill me..
Edwards POV
When she smiled my whole world lit up, I wish she was with me, but the closest that would be is "just friends".
I saw her scrawl something down on a piece of paper and she handed it to me, I started to write down my number but she refused.
Bella: "I don't think that is such a good idea, you can just call me." I pulled out my wallet and paid for my granola bars, as I walked away I waved to Bella.
I hope she takes me up on my offer. I walked back to my car with a smile on my face and Jake was in there angry.
Jacob: "Man what the hell took so long? I just shook my head.
Edward: "Nothing man, I just thought I saw someone i knew." He mumbled something incoherent under his breath and I drove off,
my thoughts were only on Bella......
