Bella's POV

May 26th 2008,

Right now it's 2:30 in the afternoon and I'm on my way to Forks to stay with Charlie until graduation. Renee and Phil are traveling right now and I think that moving back to Forks is the best thing for everyone. Renee and Phil needed alone time and I really needed to spend some time with Charlie. Even though I'm happy that I'm going to see my best friend, Emmett Cullen, I'm really not looking forward to seeing his stupid brother ,Edward, or dealing with the weather. Edward has always been a jerk to me since we were younger but I never knew why. When I came to visit about three years ago, he was in Italy on a vacation so he has not seen me in almost five years.

"Please be seated and fasten your seat belts. We are preparing for landing. Thank you for flying with Delta Airlines." said the pilot.

What a relief, I was getting so tired of sitting.I thought to myself as I felt the wheels of the plane hit the ground. Once the plane stopped moving and the seat belt light turned off, I was able to grab my carry on bag and get off that plane.

As I grabbed the rest of my luggage, I walked outside and heard someone calling out my name from a few feet behind me.

"Bella! Bella!" the voice shouted.

I turned around and saw this pretty tall muscular guy with short brown hair and a huge smile walking toward me. it was Emmett. I was so happy to see him that I dropped everything and ran into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He spun me around in circles a few times then let me down. We were still holding each other until we heard a cough coming from a few feet away from him.

"I'm sorry babe." He said apologizing to the beautiful blonde mystery girl then walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. " Bella, this is Rosalie. Rosalie, this is Bella. My best friend."

I've known Emmett since sixth grade. He was in eighth grade. Some guys were picking on me and made me cry. He was the only person who stood up for me and he later beat the crap out of them. He got suspended for three days and we've been best friends ever since.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Bella. Emmett has told me so much about you." she said in a very nice way, fake, but nice.

"It is nice to meet you as well. I just wish I could say the same thing about you." After realizing what I said, I became a little nervous.

"Emmett!" She shouted at him. "You haven't told her anything?!"

"I was going to once she arrived and got settled in." He said apologetically.

I just stood there staring at them completely oblivious. I had no idea what they were talking about and I was very hesitant to find out what is was.

"Bella, Emmett and I are getting married." She blurted out. Emmett just stood there with his hand on his forehead and just took a deep breath.

"Oh?.. Well..... Congratulations?" I said in a very confused tone of voice.

"Bella, I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner. I wanted it to be a surprise for when you got here."I just smiled at him."Emmett it's alright. There is no need for apologies. I'm happy for you, really." Then I turned to Rosalie. " For you to make Emmett settle down, you must be an amazing girl." I smiled at her.

"She really is amazing, Bells. I've never been this happy in my life." He said holding her closely, looking deeply into her eyes then kissing her lips softly. I still couldn't believe it, my Emmett, my big brother, getting married. She is so beautiful and if she makes him happy then I am happy also.

"Well, lets get you home. He had a meeting at the station. He should be home by the time we get there." Emmett said while walking over to my bags to carry them to the car.

Driving home in Rosalie' beautiful black Infiniti FX50 was nice. She was going about eighty five on the highway but, it felt like we were going fifty, the car just glided peacefully. For once I was able to relax while someone was driving.

Emmett turned on the radio to 96.4 Rock Live radio station when ,"Here Without You" from Three Doors Down started playing.

I'm here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me

I began to mouth the words as a few tears escaped my eyes and slowly rolled down my cheek. I tried to wipe them away quickly before Emmett saw but it was too late.

"Aww, Bells, does this have to do with James?" he said turning around to look at me as I tried to wipe away more tears but I was unsuccessful.

"Yeah, it does. We decided it would be better if we just stayed friends." I sighed. "I love him so much but I knew it wasn't going to last forever. I guess that's the part that kills me the most." I just looked outside the window and watched as the other cars went by. I can sense Emmett was still looking at me but, I ignored it.

"The same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago." Rosalie grabbed Emmett' hand and began to caress it. "Then I met Emmett and I just knew he was the one for me. I've never felt so strongly for someone in my life. So trust me when I tell you that you will find who you are meant to be with. When you do find them, you'll just know." she smiled then kisses his hand.

After a few commercials on the radio another song came on, but this one made me happy.

"Oh. My. God. I love this song!" I said as I sat up more and began singing.

You could have knocked me out with a (feather)

I know you heard this all before,

but were just hell's dreamers

Wh-wh-why won't the world revolve around me?

Build my dreams, trees grow all over the streets

But I don't know much about classic cars

But I got a lot of ends talking classic cars

Down set, one, hut, hut, hike

Media, please

Let's hear it for America's sweethearts

But I must confess

I'm in love with my own sins

Let's hear it for America's sweethearts

But I must confess

I'm in love with my own sins.

"Wow, Bells. I had no idea you could sing so well." Emmett said shockingly and that's when I began to blush a bit.

"I am not that great."

"You do have a beautiful voice, Bella." Rosalie said honestly.

"Well then, thank you very much."

After a few more songs, a few more conversations and a few laughs, we finally made it to Charlie's. Charlie left a key under the dying plant on the front step so I could get in. Once Emmett and Rosalie helped me get my things inside and get settled in, I found a note from Charlie.

Bella,

I'm going to be coming home very late tonight. A few guys called out sick, so I need to stay at the station late tonight. I promise I will make this up to you. Can't wait to see you kiddo.

-Charlie.

After reading the note, the three of us sat in the living room and talked about their engagement. Fifteen minutes into the conversation, Emmett's cell phone rang.

"Hello?… Yes mom, Rosalie and I got Bella. We're at Charlie's now talking…. No Charlie isn't here, he is coming home late tonight….. alright hold on, let me ask her." He put the phone down for a moment. "Bells, Esme and Carlisle would like to know if you'd like to come over for dinner tonight."

"Of course, I'd love to. I've missed them so much. I cannot wait!"

Emmett picked up the phone and continued talking with Esme. I was so excited knowing that I was going to see them again after all this time.

When Renee was going through a tough time with drinking and fighting with Charlie whenever she got the chance and with Charlie working a lot, Esme and Carlisle were like parents to me. They've helped me through a lot before I left with Renee to live in Florida almost five years ago.

"Alright mom, I guess we're on our way. We'll be there in fifteen minutes. Alright, I love you too, Mom. Bye."

As Emmett hung up the phone he turned to Rosalie and kissed her lightly on her forehead.

"Love, Can I drive?" He smiled very innocently.

She gave him the keys without hesitation and I was terrified.

Emmett. Driving!? I should kiss my life goodbye.

As we got into the car I quickly put my seat belt on and began to pray. I heard Emmett laughing loudly so I figured he realized what I was doing.

"Bells, it's alright. I wont go too fast, I promise."

"Are you SURE?" I asked anxiously.

He let out another laugh. "Yes, Bella. I am sure." his words did not sound comforting at all. "Why are you getting so scared anyway, Bells? Rose was driving almost ninety."

"Because I know YOU. You can be a complete maniac and would want to drive doing a hundred and five!"

"I was the same way when I first let him drive me somewhere. He is actually a good driver and very safe. You have nothing to worry about, I swear." Rosalie said seriously right before he turned the car on.

After hearing her say that about his driving, I felt confident that I would make it to the Cullen house alive.

Once we had arrived at the house and I walked through the door, Esme and Carlisle greeted me with warm hugs and unconditional love as if I never left. I loved it. Carlisle took my coat and placed it in the hall closet while Esme led me to the living room. As I walked into the room I saw a very pretty short brown haired girl and a handsome blonde haired boy sitting next to each other on one of the couches.

"Bella, this is Alice Walker and Jasper Hale. They are friends of Edward and Emmett. As you can see Edward is not here, he should be returning shortly." said Esme. Her voice is always so soft spoken and beautiful. "I should go back to the kitchen and finish cooking. Dinner is almost ready. It's so good to have you back, Bella. Please come over anytime. You are always welcome." she said as she hugged me.

I hugged her in return. "Thank you so much, Esme."

"We have a lot to discuss later, Bella. Esme and I would love to hear how things have been going."

"Alright, Carlisle. Looking forward to it."

As Esme and Carlisle walked into the kitchen, Alice jumped up and began talking to me.

"Hello, Bella. It's nice to meet you. So tell me, do you like shopping? I love shopping and I love playing dress up at stores, it is so fun! We should totally go the mall sometime!" Alice said very quickly.

"Uhm..sure?" I said hesitantly with a smile on my face. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and I needed new friends anyway, and new clothes.

"Alright! Great!" she said cheerfully. "I'll be right back, I'm going to see if help is needed in the kitchen."

Once Alice was in the kitchen, the handsome blonde boy stood up in front of me and held out his hand.

"Jasper Hale, It's a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for my step sister. She is a very hyper girl." he said in a very attractive southern accent.

"Bella Swan." I replied while shaking his hand in return. " And it's fine. It just caught me off guard. I need to go buy new clothes anyway so might as well." I said as I sat down on the couch.

"Hey, dude, what happened to Jessica? I figured she was coming." Emmett curiously asked Jasper.

"Oh, that. It just didn't work out. She was too busy with her friends to even pay attention to me. So I just called it quits."

"I'm sorry dude. She was a slut anyway, Jas. She was no good for you." Emmett said while grasping onto Jaspers shoulder.

The doorbell rang. Carlisle opened the door and I heard a familiar voice. It was a voice I knew but, just a little deeper than when I last heard it.. As soon as Carlisle walked by the living room and into the kitchen with bags of groceries in his arms, Edward walked into the living room.

"Hey guys what's…" he paused and stared at me. His eyes wide and you can tell by the look on his face that he was dumbfounded. "B-Bella?" he walked over to me slowly.

"Hello, Edward." My heart stopped. I couldn't believe that this is what Edward Cullen had become. He was always attractive when we were kids, but now he's all grown up and very handsome. He's probably still a jerk though.

Edwards POV

I cannot believe that this is Isabella Swan. The Isabella Swan I remember was skinny, dorky and kept to herself all the time. But now, she is just so beautiful. Her hair, her eyes, her lips, hands, legs, body, everything. She is beautiful.

Man, I treated her like total shit when we where kids. I hope she doesn't hate me for that. I'm going to have to apologize at some point when we're able to talk alone. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. If she does, it's alright. I'll help her forget about him.

I'll keep you my dirty little secret,

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret.

My dirty little secret,

Who has to know?

Her phone began to ring and she answered.

"Hey! How are you stranger?….the flight was alright, I was just getting really bored….. I'm not sure when I'll be going up that way but, when I do I will definitely give you a call…. Alright, well I have to get going dinner is almost ready….I'm at Emmett and Edward's house… Charlie has to work late tonight…"

"Alright, kids. Dinner is ready." Esme said to us before going back into the kitchen to get silverware.

"Ok, now I have to go because dinner is ready now. I'll call you when I get back to Charlie's. Alright, bye."

"Who was that, Bells?" Emmett just had to ask as we all walked to the dining room.

"Mind it." she said with a smile.

"Watch it, Bells." he let out a laugh.

As we all began walking to the dining room, Bella ran up and jumped on Emmett' back. He ran around the table with her as she held on for dear life begging him to slow down. Everyone just laughed and began to sit down but, Emmett still wasn't done running around yet.

"Emmett, put Isabella down now. You are scaring the poor girl." Esme said while trying not to laugh.

Esme and Carlisle always sat at the ends of the table to look at each other. Emmett, Rosalie and I sat on one side of the large table as Alice, Jasper and Bella sat on the other.

During dinner it was very awkward sitting across from Bella. I still cannot believe how beautiful she has become. It is such a shock for me. As my mind began to wander, I heard someone whisper my name.

"Edward?"

"huh?" I snapped out of it.

"Do you think you can stop staring at me? It's making me feel weird." Bella whispered to me while everyone continued with their own conversations.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry." I began to eat again and I felt like a total idiot.

After dinner was over, Esme and Carlisle decided to go to bed early. Emmett took Rosalie for a quick drive, Alice went to the bathroom and Jasper received a phone call so he stepped out of the room for a bit. Bella and I were the only ones left for the time being. We walked into the living room and Bella sat on the love seat while I sat in front of the tv deciding what movie to put in.

"What movie would you like to watch?" I asked her in attempt to make small talk.

"It depends on what you have."

"We have Iron Man, The Hulk, The Dark Knight, X-men, and Dogma. The hundreds of other movies we have are upstairs" I said in a chuckle.

"The Dark Knight sounds pretty good. I haven't seen it but I heard it was amazing."I just stopped and stared at her. As she said that, Alice and Jasper walked in and heard her say that as well. All three of us had are jaws to the floor.

"You haven't seen The Dark Knight?!" We all said to her at exactly the same time.

"No, I'm sorry." she gave a nervous laugh.

"Alright, then we're watching this."

As I put in the movie, Emmett and Rosalie returned with apple pie. They cut a slice for everyone and passed it around so we can eat during the movie. Once the movie started, I sat in the other love seat while Emmett and Rose took one couch and Jasper and Alice at the other. Once the movie was over, Bella was in awe. Everyone but Bella, myself and Jasper were asleep.

"I really need to get home. It's late." Bella said while looking at the clock and it said midnight.

"If you want, I can take you home." I said politely.

"Could you please? I'd ask Emmett but, he looks so comfortable sleeping with Rose in his arms."

"Sure, just let me get our coats."

Bellas POV

Once Edward went to get our coats, Jasper tried waking up Alice so he could get them home, but he was unsuccessful. When Edward came back with our coats, he asked Jasper if he needed some help. Jasper handed Edward his car keys so he can open the car and place the coats in there while Jasper carried Alice out to the car. I followed right behind Jasper when he said quietly.

"I'm tired of doing this almost every week." he let out a chuckle.

He put her in the car carefully then closed the door lightly so it wouldn't wake her.

"It was nice meeting you, Bella." Jasper said as he held out his hand again for me to shake it.

"It was nice to meet you too. We'll all probably see each other at school sometime." I said as I let go of his hand.

"Yeah, probably." he said with a smile. "Edward, I'll call you tomorrow."

Jasper got into his silver ford fusion and drove off, it was only Edward and me in the drive way.

"Shall we?" Edward said as he began to unlock his silver volvo.

As we got into the car and he began driving me home, we were both silent. We heard nothing but the wheels of the car rolling on the dirt road heading to my house. Once we arrived and I was about to get out of the car, Edward grabbed my wrist lightly.

"Bella, I wanted to apologize for how I acted when we were kids. I was a jerk and you didn't deserve the torture I gave you. I was just doing it to be cool and I just want to say that I am sorry if I ever hurt you or made you cry. No one deserves that. Not even a beautiful girl like you."

I was completely shocked. This was not what I had expected from Edward Cullen. I would have never expected this from him in a million years. I just had no idea what to say. So many things were running through my head and I just couldn't pick one. Yeah, you jerk. You really did a number or two on my self esteem. or Thanks to you I just wanted to disappear off the face of the earth and never return. But, I just turned to him, gave him a friendly hug and accepted his apology.

"It's alright, Edward. That was the past. It's over now. Let's just start off new, alright? Friends?" I said as nicely as I could without trying to sound nervous about it.

"That sounds pretty good to me. Friends. Goodnight, Bella."

"Goodnight, Edward."

He returned the hug then I got out of his car. As I walked up the steps I heard a car pull into the drive way. I turned around to see it was Charlie.

"Hey kiddo. How's it going?" he pulled me into a tight hug as he walked up to me.

"Fine, dad. Just got back from the Cullens house."

"Was that Edward Cullen that dropped you off, Bella?" he said in a concerned tone.

"Yes, that was. But, he's just a friend. No need to worry."

As I began walking up the stairs to get in the shower, Charlie stopped me.

"Bella, I know you are almost eighteen years old and you are able to make your own choices. Just please, be careful around that Cullen. He is a womanizer."

"Char…I mean dad, you have nothing to worry about. I have no interest in Edward Cullen what so ever. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." I gave Charlie a hug and walked upstairs.

"Night Kiddo."

"Night Dad."

When I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I heard my phone beep. It was a text message. I walked over to my phone and read the message that was waiting for me.

Who sent a text? R& be nice to me hahaha

a/n-the second song is americas suitehearts from Fall outboy and Bellas ringtone was Dirty Little Secret from the AAR. this chapter is boring and all but it was just the intro and it's get better. Promise. xoxo
