This is the newest story I have thought of. This is for people that like Mike x Bella or people who want a change from Edward x Bella stories. I personally am not a big fan, but I get bored of the Edward and Bella story. Therefore, this is for people who need a change in the pairings.

Also, I have not found a good story with this pairing, so I decided to make my own.

This is post Twilight. Do not think this is after Eclipse or New Moon.

My reason for making it so early in the series is because many stories are at the time of New Moon and after, and I wanted to do it before those books.

I need reviews on whether or not it is good. If I do not get any, I will stop because I will not waste my time trying to type a story no one enjoys when I have other stories I need to update. So please review if you like.

Prologue: Beautiful Melancholy

Summer Of 2006, Before Senior Year

Drop dead, stupid bitch, was the first thought in my head as I woke up. My next thought was "what the hell?"

I mainly thought this because of a dream I was having. I think I was dreaming of fighting a hose and it kept spraying me while I tried to fighting it down. I ended slipping in mud and that is when I woke and thought those words. It was a very strange dream.

I sniffed the air and smelt Edward's familiar scent. I smelt that scent I knew he was next to me, holding me in his arms.

"Hey, handsome," I whispered in his ear.

"Hey, beautiful," he whispered back, smiling.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked my voice full of curiosity.

"Well you are going to stay at home with Alice, while I go to hunt," he said.

I pouted at him as I sat up. "But I wanted to spend my day with you."

He smiled at my feeble attempt to change his mind. "I promise we'll spend all day tomorrow together."

I kept pouting until he sat up and gave me a small kiss on the lips. I gasped and fought back the instinct to jump his bones. He pulled back quickly and grinned.

I scowled at him, still wanting to kiss him more.

"Bella! Oh, Bella! Where are you?" I heard a musical voice scream out. I shrieked in horror and fell off the bed. When I landed on the ground, I groaned in pain, but ignored the fresh bruise on my thigh. I crawled under the bed, which was shaking slightly because of Edward's laughter. I held my breath for some moments so Alice could not hear me.

I heard my door make a slight noise as it opened. That was all I heard except for Edward's quiet laughter.

"I know you're in here Isabella. Do not make me come in get you," she threatened. I sighed and got out from under the bed. Alice's tinkling laughter rang out as she took in my disheveled appearance. My pajama bottoms were dusty and covered with dirt. My hair was sticking up in places and full of dust bunnies. My top was very dirty. I really need to clean under there.

"I need a shower," I mumbled. I bustled around grabbing my toiletries and a towel.

Before I left for the bathroom, Edward stood up off the bed and gave me a kiss on my cheek, one of the only places that were clean. He bid me goodbye and left out of the window.

At the bathroom, I took a long shower. I scrubbed off all of the dirt and washed my hair until it squeaked. When I was finally satisfied, I turned off the water and dried myself. I wrapped the towel around me and went back to my room.

There I dressed in some jeans and a dark blue t-shirt after putting on undergarments. Alice bustled in just as I put on my shirt.

"Okay, Bella, what do you want to so today?" she asked.

I stared at her. I knew she wanted to shop, but she wanted me to say I wanted to do it. I decided to make her happy just once, even if it kills me. "Do you want to go shopping?"

"Yes, yes! Thank you!" she squealed and hugged me.

I laughed and hugged her back. "Though I have a condition," I said.

She let me go and pulled back, her smile falling. "What are those conditions?"

"You can only buy me the clothes I like except for two items of your choosing."

Her grin came back. "Deal."

"Okay deal."

--------------------------

"Alice, the mall is going to close soon. We need to leave," I begged.

Alice kept shopping, very oblivious to the security guard stalking us. I kept glancing at him. He rather creeped me out because of the lusty way he kept looking at Alice.

"Alice, can we leave now?" I asked after a few minutes. I tugged on her sleeve to make her listen. She looked at my tired expression and finally decided I had enough.

When we finally left, I swore the security guard was staring at me with hate. He came after Alice and tried to get her number, but she refused. Then he made a feeble attempt to kiss her, but she kneed him in the groin. I swore I heard a cracking sound. Alice pulled me out of the mall without a word. I gaped at her fierce expression until we came to a stop at her car.

Her face twitched and she began to laugh. I ogled as she laughed.

"Oh god, that was funny. I swear I heard his nuts break. I guess he learned the lesson of never trying to force his will on a woman again. Good thing I did that to him because he was planning of raping a teenaged girl that lives next door to him," she said, her voice starting cheerful, and then becoming morbid at the end.

I stared at her still. I had thought that what she did was far overboard, now I think she should have done worse to him. "Wow, I don't ever want to have your power," I said.

She suddenly smiled wickedly. "There are some advantages, like how Jasper is planning to surprise me tomorrow in bed, where we are going-"

"No please, do not continue. I do not want to be scarred for life." I stared at her in horror as she gave me a Cheshire grin.

I turned around and got into the car.

The ride home was uneventful. Alice kept turning to me and raising her eyebrows in a suggestive way. Every time I groaned in revulsion.

Finally we got home, and I stumbled out of the car. Inside my house Alice, the evil, perverted vampire, made me try on all of the clothes she got me. Mostly she said they looked great, while I thought I looked strange.

Charlie called home to say he wouldn't come home until the next morning because of some mysterious attacks happening in the woods.

Alice made me sleep soon after that phone call, so Edward would not find me tired. I had a dreamless sleep that night.

--------------------------

I felt Edward crawl in at night. He was dry sobbing next to me.

I opened my eyes and sat up. "What is wrong?"

He looked up at me with the most beautiful melancholy in his eyes. "Isabella, I'm sorry."

I stared at him, perplexed. "I'm sorry," he repeated. He stared me and leaned to kiss me softly. I felt as time was running out for something.

He pulled away and kissed my neck. He let me go for a moment, then he brought down his hand heavily on my head.

It felt like a rock hitting it. I felt myself begin to bleed. I fell back on my bed and fainted at the smell of so much blood.

The last thing I saw was Edward's exquisitely sad eyes. I know they are going to haunt me forever.
