Hey, everybody!

So, I was having extremely thick writer's block, and drawing a blank. But after trying out my 24th (yes, I admit it!) writer's block cures web site, an idea hit me.

So, I hope you enjoy it!

R&R please!

~Summary~

Bella Swan is a figure skater in the tiny town of Forks, Washington, and her coach is her abusive father, Charlie. One day at the rink, she spots Edward Cullen, a skater from Chicago, Illinois, and falls head-over-heels for him.

But when she gets to know Edward more, Bella learns he's a player, and takes advantage of girls. They meet, and he tries to get closer to her, saying he's changed. But Bella has trust issues after abusive Charlie.

Will they fall in love?

FIND OUT!

:)

Everything else in the world melted away as my newly sharpened skates glided across the smooth ice. The soft green dress I was wearing flowed nicely with the white leggings that were keeping me surprisingly warm on the cold ice.

My routine was going great, until I lost my footing and slid across the ice.

Luckily, I'd done this enough that it didn't hurt very much, but it completely wrecked my routine, so Charlie wouldn't be very happy.

As if on cue, I felt a sharp kick in the back. My finger flew to my mouth, and I bit down on it to hold down the scream building in the back of my throat.

"What was that, Isabella? Do better, or you're not skating in the championships!" Charlie barked, stomping off the ice and back to the bench in the front row.

He grabbed a beer from the six-pack hidden under the seat and took a swig. I took a deep breath and started skating again.

This time, I made it to the end without falling or messing up, and Charlie looked down on me, his eyes showing nothing but hatred.

When the routine's music faded, I skated up to the wall in front of his bench.

"I knew I was a good coach. Hit the locker room, I'm going home." Was all he said before taking his beer and leaving. Nice to see he's such a supportive father.

What happened next was completely unexpected.

I was heading for the locker room, when I saw a family of 7 come in the door, their voices echoing in the large rink.

"Have fun today!" A woman with caramel hair, who I assumed was their mother, said cheerfully, kissing their foreheads.

A tall blonde supermodel and a short, pixie-like girl headed to the locker room, while a tall blonde boy, a huge boy with muscles of steel, and a gorgeous boy with tousled bronze hair went to the boys' room.

Embarrassed, I rushed inside and to my locker in the very back of the girls' locker room area. Jessica, Lauren, Angela, and all the other girls ignored me as usual, babbling on about shopping and boys.

While their lockers were filled with lip gloss, new outfits, and cell phones, mine held books and other things I need for my routines.

I sat on the bench against the back wall, but froze when two pairs of footsteps came my way.

"Hello! I'm Alice Cullen, and this is my sister, Rosalie. You must be Bella!" The pixie-girl stuck out her tiny, pale hand. I shook it lightly, and turned back to my locker.

All the blood had rushed to my cheeks, and they seemed to notice.

"H-How do you know my name?" Was my stupid reply. Well, it was the first thing that popped into my mind, and the first thing that came out of my mouth.

"Your father is the coach, right?" Rosalie asked simply.

"Yes." I said quietly. Luckily, Charlie only hit me. If he started beating Alice and Rosalie, the guilt would haunt me day and night.

"Our brothers, Jasper, Edward, and Emmett, are here, too. Come meet them!" Alice insisted, dragging me back out to the main area of the rink and over to her family.

"Bella, this is our dad, Carlisle, and our mom, Esme." Alice introduced us, and I shook their hands. A few seconds later, the boys came out of the locker room, laughing and talking.

"Bella, these are the boys; Emmett, Jasper, and Edward." Rosalie pointed them all out.

"Hi. What are you here for?" I asked softly.

"Emmett and Jasper are here for hockey, and Edward is here for figure skating." Alice explained, and I felt my eyes widen at Edward.

"You figure skate?" I asked incredulously.

"Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, you should get started." Carlisle left with the others, it was just me and Edward.

"Yes. Do you?" He asked in a charming voice. His green eyes were like emeralds, and I couldn't take my eyes off them.

"Yes. Why are you here and not at the big rink in Seattle?" I asked. A beautiful boy like him could probably get in anywhere.

"My family and I just moved here from Chicago. I skated there since I was 6." He continued, leaning against the wall between the seats and the ice.

"Oh. I've been skating since I was 4." I looked down, embarrassed.

"Then you should be able to keep up with me. I love to go fast." He grinned a crooked smile that made my heart melt.

"Sure. Let's go." We put our skates on and did a few warm-up laps on the ice. Wow, Edward really wasn't kidding when he said he likes to go fast. The guy was a blur!

Once we were warmed up and ready, I broke out the routine.

"Are you sure you can do this?" I asked cautiously.

"Of course! I'm ready when you are." He grinned.

"Okay." I took the first breath since I met Alice and Rosalie.

And it took off from there.

We used Entr'acte from The Sound Of Music soundtrack. Edward was an amazing skater, and he could keep graceful, yet fast at the same time, a skill it takes at least 10 years for any skater to learn perfectly.

When the song ended, I plopped down on the bench Charlie sat in and closed my eyes. Keeping up with Edward really took a lot out of me.

"I told you it would be hard to keep up with me." He smiled the crooked smile and leaned against the wall.

"Well, I should get home. Bye, Edward." I grabbed my bag and walked to the door, but he called after me.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight. We can go over the routine some more. And I'm sure Alice and Rosalie would love to see you again."

He smiled his irresistible smile and gave me the address.

"See you tonight, Edward." I smiled. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him.

But some shocking news was coming my way.
