You Don't Know Me, No one does

Summary: Bella and Edward are freshman in college at University of Chicago. Edward is a music major and Bella is a dancer. What will become of these two?

Chapter One: I gotta go

I was finally free! High school had been hell and I spent most days alone. No not alone because there was always someone in the house, but it always felt that way. I had no siblings, no family, no friends, well not here at least. Charlie was out every night doing some patrols around town. He was only home from 12:30am to 3:00pm. By the time I got home he would be already gone. On weekends he would invite over his officer buddies and they would all drink beer and watch something on television. Don't get me wrong guys I loved my father and I even knew he loved me back, but I was a teenage girl living with a grown man; you have to at least give him credit for keeping me alive. I wouldn't have expected him to understand me, I didn't even understand me!

" ...la, BELLA!" I was suddenly jolted out of me reverie.

"Sorry dad. What were you saying?"

"We're here," he pointed ahead. Terminal signs were lit everywhere. It was still early morning and my flight wouldn't take off until 3 hours from now. I glanced down at that moment to look at my watch, 7:30. We still had time to get breakfast before we had to part, before I could break free, before I would be leaving Charlie alone, before I would be saying goodbye.

Before I blinked we were in front of my airline desk. The line wasn't too long which I was grateful for because patience was not one of my skills. The woman behind the counter was a very motherly woman, she was extremely kind and it only made me think back to my own mother. She died when I was young so its been me and Charlie since forever. Charlie hoisted my back over the counter and the woman behind the desk whose name I spotted to be was Lisa, marked my bags.

2 Hours Later

Walking around aimlessly I finally spotted a small cafe where Charlie and I got to sit down and have one last meal together. I found a table while Charlie ordered. In that short moment alone I wondered how my life might change once I was on my own. I looked up and saw dad walking back over.

"I got your favorite".

"Thanks Dad", we at in silence. I could feel the air around us thicken as departure time got closer by the second. I was sure I was ready to leave, but I wasn't sure he was ready to let me go. With no reason to stall any longer I glanced at my watch for the last time and cleared my throat.

"Dad it's almost time for me to get going. It's 10 now and I want to get at the gate so I can get to my seat before the plane gets crowded." I looked up just in time to see his face fall slightly. He quickly

recovered and stood up slowly.

"I'm going to miss you kid" he brought me close to his chest and held for what felt like forever, but I just let him have his moment. When we parted I saw his eyes glistening with tears, made me want to cry myself, but this was not the time nor place. I looked down and nervously straightened my clothes.

" I love you too dad. I really have to go, but I call you as soon as I get settled" and then I walked away. He had never actually said it, but I felt thats what he was getting at and so I put his nerves at ease. I looked back for the last time and could still see Charlie standing there with his hands in his pockets watching me walk away from him.

"What is your dream?" I was a bit taken back by his question because we barely knew each other. Just as quickly as the thought ran into my ears it was gone when I looked into his eyes. The most beautiful color of green I had ever seen, a rare gem settled in a mysterious soul that I just couldn't get enough of. It made me gasp.

"Easy, I want to get married and spend the rest of my life with you",Woah ,woah, woah, what the hell did I just say? I could feel that infamous red phantom rush over my cheeks. I knew it, this was the end, I was literally about to die from embarrassment so I just let me head drop in shame.

DING!!

"Ladies and gentlemen we will be landing in Chicago in approximately 10 min. Please buckle your seatbelt and gather all personal items. This is your captain and I want to say thank you for flying Delta Airlines." What a relief just a dream I thought. I lifted the shade to my window and watched as the little toy cars below grew before my eyes. Eyes? For some reason I couldn't shake those eyes from my thoughts. They held something very important I knew, if I never remembered anything about that dream I would definitely remember those beautiful eyes.

Finally heading over to baggage claim I sighted my luggage and dragged them over to a man holding a sign that said Swan. He was huge. He wore a snug fitted polo and baggy shorts, his muscles bulging from beneath the sleeves. The closer I got to him the more his face seemed to trigger some distant memory. Once I was close enough my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

"EMMETT?! No way, what are you doing here."

"Well hello yourself cuzzo, nice to see you too." I dropped all my bags and jumped into his arms. He swung me around like a toy nearly bruised a rib in the process.

"Can't breathe Em." he chuckled and sat me back on my feet. Just as he did that he swooped up my things and we were off to his monster of a jeep parked in front of the door. I got into the car while he loaded the trunk. As soon as I got my self settle Emmett was making his way over to the driver's side. When he shut his door I nearly burst with excitement.

"Would you please tell me what the hell you're doing here or I'm going to bust a gasket over here!" I hadn't seen my favorite cousin in years and my excitement was going into overdrive.

"Well when I heard my little cousin was finally going to college, I had a little chat with Charlie. He told me your plans to going to Chicago so I pulled some strings so you wouldn't have to be alone up here. So here I am, at your service."

"O Em this is great. I'm glad I wont be totally alone." I took some time and looked out the window. The campus was huge truly a city within a city.

I had to sigh to myself. Oh man oh man oh man this is going to be great...I hope! I had to giggle to myself at that. The little school girl inside me was surely making herself known today.
