Okay so I'm exactly a Twilight fan, but I love writing with the characters. It may be slow updating because I have two other stories, but I felt like I needed to write something else too. Read and REVIEW please!

Bella's POV:

"My that Edward Cullen sure has gotten cuter these past few years!" My mother, Renee, teased me as we rode home from dinner that night. I, of course, blushed a deep red. At the tender age of 16 I was lost when it came to boys. Plus, my dad was driving! I didn't want him to hear that!

"Mom!" I whined back at her. She was so embarrassing sometimes.

" Come on sweetie! He'd make a fantastic boyfriend for you! Imagine your kids, they'd be so-"

"Mom! Edward Cullen is an egotistical, self centered, jerk. I'd never, ever date him!" I screamed back at her.

It was true, I had known Cullen family since I was a little kid. Alice was Edward's twin and my age, had been my best friend since we were born. And then Emmett who was 2 years older was like the brother I never had. However, Edward was the jerk of the family. He used to be really sweet when he was younger, and he was one of my best friends along with Alice. Then, when he was 13 his best friend, Jackson, died in a terrible car crash. Ever since then, he had become a jerk who used girls and mocked the ones that were smart enough to stay away from him.

"Sweetie," My mom woke me from my reverie by taking a more serious tone and looking back at me, "There's something your father and I need to discuss with you."

I got worried all of a sudden. My parents hadn't been fighting, so they couldn't be getting a divorce. My mom had, had breast cancer that she just recently recovered from and because of that radiation she couldn't have children. Then, it hit me, the cancer could be back. Tears welled up in my eyes as I jumped to the likely conclusion.

"Your father and I, well, we've decided to move..."

I was surprised, it wasn't at all what I thought I would hear. I could handle moving, I mean my room was pretty small.

"...to Australia." I heard her finish.

My jaw dropped. Australia? What a random place to move!

"What? Australia? No! I won't go! My whole life is here! I can't leave Alice, and Emmett. And what about Angela? Or my other friends! I'm about to be a junior! I can't just move to Australia!" I pleaded with her. She had to understand, I wasn't good at meeting people. I was already enough of an outcast. Without Alice, I'd never make it in a new school, let alone a whole other hemisphere!

"Honey," Charlie butted into the conversation, "that's what we wanted to talk to you about."

"If you would let me finish!" Renee stated, agitated with my outburst.

"Sorry mom, dad. What were you going to say?"

"Well," My mother sighed, getting back into the story, "When I mentioned our moving to Esme, she offered you a room in her house. Apparently they have two guest bedrooms so you'd be welcome to finish out high school there. Of course you'd come visit us when we could buy you a plane ticket, but otherwise we're not going to force you into another country."

I couldn't believe it. The Cullen's were extremely generous people, after all Edward, Alice, and Emmett were all adopted, but offering me a place to stay for the next three years? I had never been so happy.

"Of course I will! But why mom? Why Australia? What's so great there?"

"Bells, its probably hard for you to understand exactly why we decided to move. But you know I had cancer. And that made me think, what am I doing? You're almost all grown up and then what? A friend of mine just moved back to America after a year of working over there. She was willing to sell her house dirt cheap to us. It just felt right."

I understood. More than my mom thought anyways. I had often wondered the same thing. What was the point of my existence? And why was no one there to make it a little bit better with their love?


Moving Day:

"Are you all packed Bella?" My hyperactive, best friend Alice exclaimed as she jumped up and down in my room.

"Yep!" I smiled at her. I was beyond excited to move in with the Cullen's!

"Yipee! I'm finally getting a sister!" Alice squealed into my ear as she gave me a huge hug.

I laughed to myself before gathering the last of my few boxes and heading outside to put them in my truck.

My truck, a huge, old red beauty, was my pride and joy. My parents had gotten it for me on my 16th birthday and I had never been driven around since.

Soon we arrived at the Cullen house. A mansion really compared to mine. Esme and Carlise showed me to my new room. When I walked in I was amazed at what I saw. It was light blue, my favorite color, and had pictures of me, Alice, and Emmett framed around the room. A book shelf was there stocked with some of my favorites. The bed was a darker blue with all shades of blue pillows. On the floor, there was a comfortable pale blue carpet. It was beautiful.

I unpacked all my things into my new room before sitting down on the bed to collect my thoughts. That's when I saw the door.

Across from the bed was a door painted to blend in with the walls. The handle tempted me to come twist it and see what was behind it. And so I did.

I opened the door to an all white room. There was a huge bed in the back with a golden comforter on it. Next to the bed, a step down from the rest of the room, was a stunning white grand piano. Lining the wall was shelves and shelves of books, CDs, movies, and even records. A black couch sat underneath a window and several guitars were on the wall closest to me. Suddenly, in walked Edward Cullen wearing nothing but a towel. His hair flopped down in his eyes and he looked good, to say the least. I blushed several shades of red when his eyes turned to mine.

"It's not polite to stare." He sneered at me with a cocky grin on his face.

"I was only taking in how ugly you were! Thank you and good night." I retorted quickly slamming the door behind me, only to find Alice sitting quietly on my bed.

"Jeez, Alice! You scared me! What are you, a ninja?"

"Maybe." She smiled coyly at me. "So," she grinned, "you just decided to check out my brother, huh?"

I blushed even deeper, out of anger and embarrassment.

"Alice! I was not 'checking him out'. I was merely curious as to what was behind that door!"

At my reply the little ninja pixie was literally rolling on the floor laughing.

"It is not funny." I scolded her.

"Oh, that was nothing compared to what you're in for these next three years! They don't call me matchmaker for nothing!" With that she turned and pranced out of the room leaving me baffled, embarrassed, and alone.

Question time!

Review and let me know the answer to these questions:

1. Any ideas for how Alice and Emmett (yes they are working together) should get Bella and Edward to "fall for each other"?

2. Would you prefer they got together this school year, or the next summer?

3. How would you react to Renee getting pregnant later in the story? Its an idea I'm toying with, but I'm not so sure.

LET ME KNOW :)
