Hey all, sorry about the last story. And no, if you review after I posted the little chapter about discontinuing it, you do not still get the rest of the story.

Chapter 1

Forks, Washington Airport

Beginning of the summer

11 am

Bella POV

"Jasper!" I shouted to my brother.

He was the only one I could count on for the last year since my mom died.

Jasper just graduated and gotten into his first choice of college so we were celebrating.

"I'm going to get some stuff from the store," my mom called through the house.

No answer. About an hour later, we got a call from the hospital and rushed over there.

That's when Dad's drinking got bad. Jasper and I didn't think anything of it; only on Friday nights was he a little less than sober. Then once Jasper left for college, he started yelling at me. Around five months after my mom past away, he started getting abusive.

I never told anyone about it. Not even the drinking.

Present------------------

"Bella!" my big brother yelled back.

I ran to him and he wrapped me in big hug. He spun me around and I giggled.

Only when he set me down did I notice the boy next to him.

"Bella, this is my friend Edward. He's going to be staying with us for the summer," Jasper introduced. "Where's dad?"

"Uh…" My Dad's drinking had gotten a lot worse in the year that Jasper had been gone. I didn't want to be the one to tell my big, brawny brother that our dad was too drunk at eleven am to come pick him up. "He couldn't make it." People could tell when I was really lying, but not when I white lied.

"Oh." Jaspers face just a bit.

"It's nice to meet you, Edward," I said politely.

This guy was fregging HOT! He had huge muscles, bronze hair, the most beautiful true green eyes, and he was at least six two.

"It's nice to meet you, too, Bella. Jasper wouldn't shut up about you the whole way back." My heart skipped a beat when he said my name. He had such a velvety voice.

"Let's go get your luggage," I suggested.

"Alright," Jasper agreed, putting his big muscular arm around my shoulder.

"Oh mygosh, Jasper. You'll never guess!" I told them excitedly.

"What?" he asked, obviously not going to guess.

"I got in!" I shrieked.

"In to what?" His brows furrowed as he pulled his bags off of the treadmill like track.

"Becken!" I shouted. Several people turned to stare.

"Really?" Jasper asked in disbelief. Becken was one of the hardest colleges to get in to and it was also Jasper's, and I assumed Edward's, school.

"Yes! Aren't you excited?"

"Yes! Now I have a reason to beat the guys up!" he mimicked.

"And what would that be?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"For drooling over you," he answered.

"Not many would. Only the blind ones," I told him.

"Why?" Jasper seemed truly interested in my answer.

"'Cause I'm plain," I said slowly.

"I would care to disagree," Edward chirped. "Most of the guys on my football team, the basket ball team and the baseball team I know for a fact would be drooling over you."

"And if they do so much as look at my baby sister, I will pound their faces so hard, they'll go deaf, blind and mute," Jasper chuckled.

"I'm only a year younger than you, Jasper. I can hardly be considered your baby sister."

"I would be drooling if I didn't know that Jasper here would literally kill me if I did," Edward confessed.

And then as if to prove their point, another college boy walked by and whistled. There was no doubt in my mind what he was looking at as I hid behind Jasper while he walked away. Then Jasper took off running after him.

"Jasper, he's not worth it!" I tried.

He didn't stop so I ran after them.

I reached Jasper right as he was about to grab the man. Then I hissed, "Do you want to go to jail, Jasper?"

He stopped and gave up. We turned around to go get Edward, then to my truck.

"So I assume you'll be joining Jasper and I at Becken next year," Edward asked from the backseat.

"Of course," I said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Which it was.

When we got home, Charlie still wasn't.

He's still at that dang bar! I screamed in my head.

"Jasper can I talk to you in my room," I asked once we were inside.

"Yea, sure. Just let me show Edward my room," he replied.

I raced up the stairs and down the hall into my room. I sat on the edge of my bed and was shortly joined by Jasper.
