Chapter 1

Epov

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeeeeep!

Uh a Monday morning with a hangover and I've got school, it's the first day back after the summer holidays. I'm now a senior and it's my last fuckin year. Great for me! But one heck of a weekend! Let me start over here.

My name is Edward Cullen and I'm one of the most popular kids in my school. Now when it comes to looks, oh do I have it! I'm 6ft'2' with green eyes, bronze hair, strong jaw line and an 8th pack, is that good or what? Shitty Forks fucking High. I'm the captain of the basketball team, and I can get any girl I so well please, except for 1, who probably hates me. My two best friends are Jasper Hale and Emmett McCarthy. Jasper is dating my twin sister Alice. And Emmett well he somehow landed one of the hottest girls in school Rosalie Hale, Jasper's twin. Oh yeah it's a great life for me. I'm popular; my families rich; my dad's one of the best doctors around and my mom is an interior designer, all the girls love me.

"Edward get your lazy ass up and out of that fucking bed or were going to be late. And I mean NOW!"Came the annoying voice of my sister Alice. She's a 5ft pixie and is as strong as fuck its unreal. One of her best friends was someone my 'followers' as some people call them loved to torture; Bella. She was a geek, who they just pick on for the fun of it and also 'cos they know she won't rat any of them out to her daddy, who just so happens to be Chief of Police. Now I've known Bella since she moved here after her mom died, about 5 years ago, and lets just say back then she was...well hot, still is...to me anyway. She was, no is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. But everything changed before we finished school for junior year, I noticed the change right away, she suddenly became very depressed looking and sometimes to me it seemed she was dead. Her chocolate brown eyes which were always bright with humour and life but then they just seemed so dead, her mahogany hair, that was once well kept was all over the place. I knew there was something wrong, but Alice could never find out. I didn't really enjoy picking on her, it tortured me when we did as I love the girl, no one knew except Alice. They usually pick on her during our summer, but she went away this summer, nobody knows were she went, not even Alice, so they didn't really get to annoy her. Better get up before the pixie barges in.

After getting a quick shower, I quickly got dressed and headed down stairs. And what do you know there's the pixie at the end of the stairs tapping her foot with an impatient look on her face. I threw her my best smile and walked past her.

"It's about damn time! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? 25 minutes!" she shouted. That's very bad for my head especially at this time of the morning.

"Alice please I've got a really bad headache right now so please just shut the fuck up!"

With that said I walked out the door and went over to my car. Ah my baby. It was a silver Volvo. I realised as I got in that I needed a release. Maybe Lauren or Jessica could be of service. Ah those girls can give an amazing head. But Lauren was better.

When we arrived at school I didn't see Lauren anywhere, oh well Jessica will have to do.

"Hey Jess baby how are you?" I asked her as I went over to her and I put arm around her. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss.

"I'm good haven't seen you in a while. Where were you last night? Mick threw a great party"

"I went clubbing with Emmett and Jasper" I told her.

"Oh well I was looking for you. I didn't really have a good time ya know" she said seductively.

"Really well how about you show me a real good time now then. We have 30 minutes until class" I whispered in her ear.

She smiled at me and nodded her head. We made our way over to my car; I quickly opened the door to the back seat. We got in and Jess attacked me with her lips. Sure she was a great lay but not a very good kisser. I pulled away,

"Baby we don't have a lot of time so we need to hurry" I told her.

"Okay" She unbuttoned my jeans and knelt before me. I lifted up my hips so she could pull my trousers and boxers down, she quickly put me into her mouth. I moaned and put my hands in her hair to help her get a steady rhythm. I moved her faster as she was going to slow for my taste. She started to deep throat me and suck me harder in her mouth. I toke one of my hands out of her hair and started to massage her left boob. Another good thing about Jessica was that she had great tits. What can I say I'm a titty man! I kept on massaging it when I started to feel that tingly sensation in my stomach. I started to basically fuck her mouth out.

"Oh...shit I'm close babe...really fuckin close...ah shit!" I exclaimed as I shot my load into her mouth. Jessica quickly pulled away and spat out my cum in a napkin. 1 bad thing about her, she doesn't swallow.

"Thanks I'd repay the fav but we've got to get to class babe" I said to her as I pulled up my jeans and boxers. We quickly got out without another word I kissed her goodbye. I grabbed my things and went to get my schedule. was there, when I went in she stopped and looked at me, she frowned when she realised it was me I smiled. She hated me.

"Hi . Can I have my schedule please" I asked her nicely. She went and got it.

"Here" she said a bit rudely if I may say so once she had got it.

" you shouldn't be so rude" I said with a big smile on my face.

"Get to class" she said with disgust clearly present in her voice.

I smiled at her once again and walked out.

I looked at my schedule:

1st period English Mr. Berty

2nd period Trigonometry Mr. Varner

3rd period Music Ms. Getty

4th period Gym Mr. Clapp

5th period Lunch

6th period Biology Mr. Banner

7th period Spanish Ms. Goff

Lovely I thought as I made my way to English. The class had already started. I walked in and all went quiet.

"Mr. Cullen you're a bit early, shouldn't you be another 10 minutes late not 3 minutes, I think this is a record for you" he said as many people laughed.

"Well sir I thought I should be early as it is the first day" I replied.

"Take your seat. Alright where were we, ah yes Mr. Cheney?" he looked around

He went on to call the attendance, he looked at me when it was my name, I smiled and gave him a wave. He glared at me and rolled his eyes.

When he was about to call out Jessica's name the door opened and in walked Mr. Green the principal. He walked up to Mr. Berty. I was sitting in the seat closest to the table and could hear what they were saying.

"Bob Bella's here, now I know she's not supposed to be back her until tomorrow, now Charlie tried to get her to stay at home but she wont. Now her doctors agree that it's best to just let her back to school to socialize with everyone. But we have to make sure not to let her sit with many boys around her. Now every Wednesday at this time she will be with the councillor. Now since the rape she hasn't been very responsive to men other than her dad and" did he just say Bella was raped? No not my Bella. No that was impossible, who...who would want to hurt her? She was so sweet and innocent. But she was so beautiful. But when did this happen to her. Why didn't we know? I didn't even listen to the rest of there conversation, I was to angry to even acknowledge that Bella had come in. Who would hurt my Bella like that? I looked over at her and what I saw nearly killed me. The look on her face was heart breaking. She looked broken, dead even. I'd kill the man who done this to my Bella.

Bella looked over at me and I didn't know what my face looked like but from the way her eyes widened I would assume there was still some traces of the anger I had a few moments ago. I quickly rearranged my expression and smiled at her.

"You know" she mouthed to me with a look of fear in her eyes.

I nodded at her and mouthed back "Yeah" she looked at my with terror plain in her eyes as she sucked in a shakey breathe and looked away from me. I got a page out of my copy and quickly wrote on it.

{AN Notes: Edward in boldand Bella in italic}

Yeah I know, why didn't you tell anyone? And who was the son of a bitch that did it to you Bella? And when did this happen Bella? And don't worry I wont tell anyone if you don't want them to know!

I folded it and passed it over to her. I watched her as she opened it and read it, after a minute she looked up me then back at the paper and pick up a pen and began to write. After she was done she folded it and passed the note back to me

I didn't want to be seen more as a freak Edward. I felt ashamed that it had happened to me. That man stole something of mine and I can't get it back. They caught him anyway; apparently I wasn't his only 1. He's raped at least 13 other woman. His name is James Carter; he's 25 white 6ft. And killed 4 of them. He's been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. It happened a few weeks before we got our summer holidays, I told my dad straight away when it happened; your dad was the doctor who examined me. That's why I went away for the summer. I was at a camp that deals with rape victims. It helped a lot. And thank you that means a lot to me, that you'll keep this to yourself. Thanks Edward.

When I was finished reading it, I had to reread to a couple of more times to get my head around it. My dad knew and he didn't even tell Alice. Well I guess he couldn't. That's why he was so angry before the holidays; nobody knew why and it was strange for my dad to be angry as he's a very gentle man. I can't believe she's been going through this and didn't tell anyone cos she didn't want to appear as being a freak, she was raped not a bloody prostitute for fuck sakes. I quickly wrote back:

Emmhow about if you ever need to talk to anyone about anything you can come to me? And I'll keep people off your back for you okay?

I passed the note back to her. Not a minute later I got it back.

Thank you and I would like to talk to someone if your sure you want to hear all the horrible details of what happen that night and how I feel then your in for a...well bad nightmare I guess I'd put it lightly for you. And you don't have to ruin your reputation just to stick up for me Edward. But thank you anyway!

After I finished reading it I couldn't understand why she wouldn't want me to help her. Fuck my reputation I'd do anything for this girl, but she didn't really know that, I guess I could change that if I ever want a shot with her! I quickly wrote something down as our tine was running out.

I don't care about my rep Bella this is much more serious than my bloody rep and you know it. Lets talk after school. How about we go somewhere and talk? I know a place that's quiet that me and Alice used to go to when we were little how bout that?

I sent it back and I quickly got it back. I looked at it and was glad to see what her reply was.

Okay, I'll talk with you after school and fine stick up for me all you want. Where shall I met you?

I smiled at it and quickly wrote back to her.

How bout I follow you back your place then we go together? If that's all right and you would feel alright being alone with me?

Yeah I'll feel fine being alone with you I trust you not to hurt me!!

I wont hurt you I promise you that Bella

I believe you.

After she passed be back the note I mentally did a happy dance. The girl of my dreams trusts me. Now all I have to do is to get her to fall in love with me. A second after I thought that the bell rang. I got up and noticed Bella was already gone.

As the day went on I now found myself at my usual table with Mick, Tyler, Eric, Emmett and Jasper. Rose and Alice were both talking to Bella at a table not far from ours.

"Looks like the freaks back!" said Lauren as her and Jessica and Tanya walked up and sat at the table.

"Shut up and leave her alone Lauren!" I said to her with pure ice in my voice. Everyone looked at me like I had gone insane apart for two. Jasper and Emmett, they both had small smiles on there faces. They didn't know did they? It wasn't that obvious was it?

"What the hell Edward? We've always made fun of her. I mean look at her and what is she wearing? Why have you suddenly gone all protective?" Tanya asked me.

"What the hell is I'm getting sick off ye guys picking on her when she's done nothing wrong, and has never done anything to any of you. And I am looking and what I see is someone who is beautiful inside and out. While ye three plaster yourselves in make-up that makes you look like sluts, Bella's a natural beauty. And why I'm gone all 'protective' is cos she doesn't need this. She's a good person. Not like I can say the same for some of you guys" I said. I didn't realise that I had been so loud that everyone in the entire cafeteria was now looking at me with shocked looks on there faces. But 1 of them stood out the most to me. Bella. She was looking at me like I had gone insane. It was plain on everyone's face that they couldn't believe I had just done that.

I left the cafeteria and went to my biology class. I was 10 minutes early for class, so I just went to the back and picked out a table. I sat there thinking about how my life was surely going to change. I didn't hear anyone come in.

"You didn't have to do that Edward" came Bella's voice. I jumped when I heard it.

"Yes I did. They were being jerks and I was getting sick and tired of always keeping my mouth shut and never telling them to leave you alone. I should have stuck up for you and now you probably hate me for not and I'll never get a chance with you. I messed everything up. I was to focused on staying popular that I never even realised what it would do to you and I can't ever get a chance with you now can I Bella?" I asked her.

"Edward what are you talking about?" Bella asked.

"I'm wondering if you would ever consider a relationship between you and me." I said looking her straight in the eyes. I watched as they grew wide with realisation.

"I...I...don't know what to say to that Edward. I mean you don't even like me. And now all of a sudden, you do. Is this some trick to hurt me? I really believed you were above that edwar-"I stopped her there by pressing my lips to hers. This simple little kiss sent small tingles all over my body. I brought one of my hands up and tangled it in her hair. I moved my lips against hers and waited until I got a response out of her. I felt her move her lips against mine softly and bring her body closer to me. I wrapped my other arm her waist. We continued to kiss for several minutes. When we finally broke apart I rested my forehead against her and breathed in deeply. I opened my eyes and looked at Bella. Her cheeks had that gorgeous blush and her eyes were looking right back at me, her breathing was laboured.

"That is something I've wanted to do for the past five years. I will never hate you Bella I can't not when I have other feelings that are trying to tell you differently" I told her.

We broke apart when they door opened and in walked Mr. Banner, he gave us a smile and went straight to his desk. Bella started to go to another desk but I grabbed her gently by the arm and brought her back to my, now our table hopefully. She looked at me and then nodded her head and mouthed to me.

"Explain later!"

I nodded my head at her and mouthed back "You still want to come?"

She merely nodded back. The bell went and students started to file in. I knew there was going to be trouble when I seen Tanya and Lauren walk in. They both looked at me and then at Bella. Lauren looked shocked, while Tanya looked furious. They walked up to our table and Tanya made a motion to Bella to move.

"Hey freak you can move now. That's my seat and my Eddie. So could you just go and join the other losers that would be great!" said Tanya. I was furious and what really ticked me off was how Bella actually got up and was about to move before I stopped her once again.

"Bella stays here you can now fuck off and leave us alone. And its Edward not Eddie" I loathed that name.

"But Edward she's a freak, why would you want to sit beside her, when you can sit beside me?" Tanya asked.

"Cos I actually like Bella, unlike you!" there were several 'oh's and ouch' from the students in the classroom. With that said Tanya stormed off and sat beside Lauren. Bella sat back down beside me and I smiled at her, she gave me a small grateful smile back. Class went by quickly after that. As I made my way to my last class I kept thinking about what I was going to tell Bella after school. My feelings for her wont change that I'm sure off, but what if she can't feel the same way? I stopped thinking about it as I sat in my seat. I didn't listen in that class, I just watched the clock. When the bell finally rang I practically ran out of there and to my car. I didn't worry how Alice was getting home as she was goin with Jas.

I got to my car and got in and headed home. When I arrived I brought my bag and out put in my room. I went back to my car and drove over to Bella's. When I arrived her red jeep was outside, so I knew she was home. I got out of the car and made my way towards her door. Just as I was about to knock Bella opened the door.

"Hi, are you ready to go?" I asked her once I found my voice; she looked at me and nodded her head.

"Umm...yea I just have to write my dad a note. You can come in and wait" she said as she turned and walked away. I stepped in and shut the door behind me. I followed Bella down the hallway towards the kitchen. I stopped on my way to look at photo that was of Bella. She looked to be about 5 or 6 years old. She was dressed in a ballet uniform and looked absolutely adorable. I walked into the kitchen to find Bella kneeling on the floor picking up some pieces of paper. She looked up and I could see she was embarrassed, by the colour of her cheeks.

"Yeah I'm ready now!" she said as she got up of the floor. We walked out of the house and towards my car. I went and opened her door; she was shocked at first but then just smiled at me and got in. I quickly made my way to my side. I got in and made my way to the meadow. The tension in the car could be cut with a knife.

"So...were we going exactly?" Bella asked after a few moment of silence.

"Um...it's a place I go when I want to think and get away from everything. There's a small hike by the way" I told her, while looking at her from the corner of my eye. She was beautiful.

"Okay cool that's fine with me" came back her reply. I decided to ease the tension by playing some music. The calming sounds of Debussy came on a second later. Bella looked at the radio and then at me with a smile in her face.

"Claire De Lune?" she asked with a disbelieving tone. What did she not think I listened to classic?

"Yeah. You know Debussy?" I asked her.

"Yeah, my mom used to play it all the time around the house. But really I only know my favourites" she said. We have something in common. Sure it maybe small but it's still something! When she mentioned her mom I could hear the sadness in her voice. I didn't think in that moment but I grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. I didn't let go of it for the rest of the drive. I didn't know when but I gad started to rub my thumb over her knuckles. It seem to comfort her as well as me.
