1. We Are Broken

Now on to the story! Enjoy…

*Gunshot*

"DADDY!" the little girl screamed while the tears were running down from her eyes.

BPOV

Have you ever witnessed your father's death?

I have…

"Come out little girl , we wont hurt you!" I heard a man's voice call out to me.

I kept running until my legs couldn't take it anymore. I started to wonder around the woods, until I was able to find a place to hide. I found a log near a meadow ,so I hid in there before the men who killed my daddy don't find me.

I couldn't stop crying for my fathers death. He was the best dad anyone can think of. My dad and I were in the middle of roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. I watched the flames go up in the air and then they would disappear in mid air. The flames always fascinated m-. My thoughts were cut off by a man calling my name.

" Oh Bella! Where are you? We won't hurt you ." The man called out to me. I saw a small whole in the log, so I looked through the whole to see where the men where. I saw two men dressed in black suits. The men were big and buff and they both had short hair. One had blond hair , the other had brown hair. I noticed that the two men were wearing the same looking chain. The chain had a gold eagle with red eyes.

" Hey Mark. I got a call from the boss, he said to leave her out here. She'll eventually die out here, no one comes out here anyways." said the one with the blond hair.

" Yeah, your right maybe a bear will eat her. Hey, lets go get some donuts!" said Mark the guy with the brown hair. I watched them disappear into the shadows of the woods. I got out of the log a few minutes after men left. It was getting dark and cold, so I went back inside the log. Before it starts to rain.

That night I cried myself to sleep. I dreamt of my father and all the things we've done together. Like the time he taught me how to ride a bike when I was 4 and the time he tried to bake me a cake for my 6th birthday, but the cake ended up all brown and hard. Those were my last memories of him.

I felt someone shaking me the next day . " Hey wake up." I heard a voice call out to me. I pried my eyes open. I saw a pair of deep forest green eyes. They looked concerned and confused. " What are doing out here, are you lost?" the little boy with the green eyes asked me.

" I … I think so…" I croaked out. I crawled out of the log slowly. I had a headache and a sore throat. I guess from all of the crying. My clothes were dirty and torned. I stood near the log, shivering. The little boy stared at me with wide eyes.

" Do you… Do you need help?" the boy asked me.

" Y… Yes. I'm lost and my daddy is gone…" I croaked out. I was on the verge of tears, knowing that I will never see my daddy again. I couldn't see how the boy looked like because my tears made it impossible to see anything. So I started crying. I sat down near the log, curled up because I felt like I was going to break anytime soon.

I felt someone brushing my hair back. I looked up and saw the green eyed boy in front of me. " "Hey it's ok. You can join my family. I have a mommy, daddy, a brother and sister. We can be one big happy family and we'll always be together." the green eyed boy said. I wiped the tears from my eyes and noticed that the green eyed boy was beautiful. He had messy bronze hair. His nose was straight and he was slightly taller than me. " So what do you say? If it helps my mom bakes the best white chocolate chip cookies, you can't say no to that." the boy asked. Should I go? I don't know what to say. I'm scared.

So I said " Yes, ok…ay."

"Cool, lets go. I'm Edward Cullen by the way." Edward said. Hmm, Edward ,I guess it does fit him. I've never heard of that name before. It's pretty.

" Nice to meet you Edward, I'm Bella Swan." I told him. I looked at Edward and noticed he was dressed in a gray suit. He looked really pretty. I was about to ask him why he was dressed in a suit but he spoke before I even had a chance to open my mouth.

"Swan… hmm….Swan! Is your dad named Chief Swan?" Edward asked me. I couldn't retain in my tears once he mentioned my fathers name. So I ended up crying hysterically in front of him.

" I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to make you cry. If you want to talk about it, I'm here for you ?" he offered me. I felt comfortable around Edward. He makes me feel safe, he reminds me of a guardian angel. Once I calmed down I cleared the tears from my eyes. My eyes burned , I guess from crying so much.

I sniffed. " My… my dad was murded in front of me. There were four guys that killed him. So I ran out of the house before the men got me. I ran until my legs couldn't take it anymore. Then I started to walk around until I was able to find a place to hide because the men were looking for me." I explained to him. I waited for him to speak, but he surprised me by hugging me tightly. I hugged him back, he was so warm. Once he pulled back , I looked up at him and he was crying.

"I'm sorry Bella. I didn't know. Chief Swan was a family friend. I'm sure my parents will be very sad to know that he's gone. Come on, lets go. Before you get sick." Edward said. He held my hand while he lead me to his house. I couldn't stop the blush that was rising up my face. Edward had very soft skin.

We finally reached Edward's house and may I say his house is so big and beautiful. It had 3 floors, big glass windows, a beautiful garden, the house has a nice blue color to it and brown, and it has a big glass door.

I didn't realize my mouth was open once Edward spoke " You should probably close your mouth. I had the same reaction and a fly went in my mouth, and flies do not taste good." Ewww! I immediately closed my mouth. Edward chuckled while we went inside the house.

I followed Edward to the kitchen. The house was beautiful on the inside too. The kitchen was big and it had a fireplace , it made me sad 'cause it reminded me of my father and I roasting marshmallows. I blinked back the tears that were fighting to come out. I noticed a girl sitting on a stool. Her back was facing us. It looked like she was eating cookies. I guess she heard us come in because she turned around.

*0*

That was my expression because that was no girl it was a boy ,wearing a pink flowy dress.

"Eddie! I knew it was you!" the boy in the dress told Edward.

" I told you not to call me that, Emmenita!" Edward growled at… Emmenita? Emmenita put her-

I mean his hands on his hips and said.

" It's Emmettina" said the boy. I started to giggle because this was just too funny. Emmettina looked at me weirdly but soon he was smiling at me. " Who's this Eddie, your girlfriend?" he was looking at our joined hands.

Edward held my hand tighter, soon my heart was beating faster. " No, this is Bella and she's going to be our new family member " he told Emmettina. I looked over at Emmettina to see his reaction. Emmettina started jumping up and down clapping his hands while squealing.

"OMG!OMG!YAY! We can play mommy and daddy or paint each others' nails, do each others' hair! Ahh! This is the best day of my life!" Emmettina squealed happily.

WOW.

"Emmett don't bother your brother he has enough with Alice dressing him up in that suit." I heard a women say from behind me. I turned around to look at her. She looks a bit like Edward so I guess this must be his mom. She had green eyes like Edward and the same hair color like him, except her hair was a bit orange. She noticed my presence in the room. " Oh. Hello and who must you be?" She asked in a sweet voice.

"I'm B… Bella. Nice to meet you Mrs. Cullen " I responded. She smiled sweetly at me.

"Call me Esme, sweetheart." she told me.

"Mommy, is it ok if Bella joins the family? I found her in the woods lost. She told me some men murdered her daddy, Chief Swan." Edward said softly to his mother. I looked up at Esme and her eyes went wide and her smile fell to a frown.

"What …this can't be true." Esme whispered. She started pacing in the kitchen . We all stayed quiet except for Emmett and Esme. Emmett started to cry and Esme still kept pacing the room saying Charlie isn't dead. We heard the front door slam shut and a mans voice yelling out ' Esme'.

" Esme sweetheart…I need to tell you something. You should sit down." a man with blond hair told Esme. I think that man is Edwards father. Edwards father escorted her to sit on one of the stools. Once she was seated, the man stood in front of Esme and said " Charlie was murdered just last night. I just examined the body. The police have no lead. He was shot multiple times, and the police can't find Charlie's daughter. I believe her name was Isabella ." Esme broke down crying. Edwards father held Esme while she cried on his shoulder.

So my daddy was shot multiple times. I tried to get the images of my father lying dead on the floor. Soon all I saw was darkness ,pitch black.

" Bella are you alright, can you hear me?" I heard Edwards voice call out to me in the darkness. I tried to feel my surroundings. I was lying on something soft and someone was caressing my cheek.

" Edward , son she'll come around. Let her rest for a while." I heard a calmed voice speak.

My eyes fluttered.

" She's waking up Carlisle" this was Edwards velvet voice.

I finally managed to open my eyes. I looked around and I noticed someone laid me down on a forest green love seat.

" Bella, I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen . How are you feeling?" he asked me .

" I'm feeling fine." I replied in a small voice.

Carlisle sighed. " Bella your father was murdered , did you know that?" I nodded.

" Dad can Bella stay with us please? She has no other place to go right now." Edward said. I realized Edward was holding my hand.

Carlisle nodded. " I suppose she can stay." He turned to Esme " I'll go to the station and let them know Bella will be staying with us. Make sure she is warm and get her something to eat." Carlisle said while grabbing his car keys , soon he was gone.

We ate silently. Edward told me his sister Alice was at a sleepover. I shared a room with Edward. I didn't want to be alone. Also because Edward makes me feel safe.

1 ½ years later, February

"Tag your it!" Alice said once she tagged me. Ugh! Stupid pixie. Now I'm it. Hmm I wonder where Edward is hiding.

Edward. Oh, Edward, I've developed a crush on my best friend. He's helped me so much ever since my fathers death. He's gotten a bit taller. He's 9 years old now. His birthday was on June 20th. I turned 8 on September 13th. For his birthday we went to a water park it was so fun. Emmett wore a one piece bathing suit and it was pink. Emmett and Alice are so much alike . Both there rooms are pink with stuff animals and pink walls.

Personally, I think Emmett is gay. For example, he's girlier than me and I'm a girl. He loves the color pink. He wears girl clothes. He paints his nails and he wears lipstick. Edward also thinks he's gay. But Alice, she loves Emmett's gayness.

The Cullen's and I have become really close. They're like my second family. Esme wants to adopt me. The police couldn't get a hold of my mother. I was supposed to be with Charlie for 1 year and a few months, because my mother and her husband Phil were traveling. Phil plays baseball so he travels a lot. I decided to stay with my dad instead, but that didn't work out.

So now Esme is waiting two years to adopt me. She said if the police can't contact my mother, Esme will adopt me. I wouldn't mind her adopting me because Esme is like a mother to me.

I heard someone giggle behind a bush. I looked closer to the bush and saw some bronze hair picking out of the bush.

Edward. That is definitely him. No one has hair like that but him.

I was just about to tag him when I heard " Edward, Bella!" ok I love Esme but I was on a role here.

"Yes! I won !" Edward yelled once he popped out of the bush he hid in. We heard Emse call out to us again.

" This isn't over, Cullen" I told him.

OME! Did he just stick his tongue out at me !" Funny Edward. How old are you, 3? " I asked him in a sarcastic tone.

"Pfft! No!" he retorted." I'm 9" he said in a low voice. I rolled my eyes at him.

" Come on Edward, Esme's calling us." I said while walking to the house where Esme was waiting.

" Edward your going to go with you father to pick up eye glasses from the doctor, ok sweetie?" Esme asked Edward.

" Yes, mom." Edward said. While killing a bug that was on his forehead. I don't know why, but for some reason Edward it becoming dumber everyday. He makes Emmett look like Frankenstein- I mean Eisenstein. Gosh! Edwards dumbness is rubbing off on me. Stupid Edward.

" Your dad's in the car." Esme told Edward.

"Ok." Edward said. " Oh and Bella when I come back were having a re-match on tag and your still it… Ha!" I rolled my eyes.

" Bella, sweetie do you mind helping me in the kitchen? I want to try this new cookie recipe." Esme asked me while walking to the kitchen.

" I'd love to help Esme.' I said while following her into the kitchen.

10 minutes later…

Knock knock…

" Coming." Esme yelled out." Bella do you mind getting the butter out , while I answer the door? "She asked.

"No problem." I said while I got the butter, she went to answer the door.

" Bella, come down here dear!" Esme yelled out.

I ran downstairs. Once I got there I saw my " Mom?"

" Bella sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I didn't know your father past away." my mother said while hugging me. I was happy but shocked she was here.

" Mom, how did you find me? I thought you were with Phil?" I asked her.

" We got back home earlier than we'd expected. Once I got home I got all these missing calls saying your father died and that you were living with the Cullen family." My mother told me in a watery voice.

Wait! If my mom is here to take me home that means I won't see Edward again or any of the Cullen's, and if I did leave I wouldn't be able to say good-bye to Edward.

I started to hyperventilate. " I want to stay with Edward and everyone." I told my mother in a stern voice.

" Bella sweetie we can't . Phil's waiting in the car. We have to go now." My mother said.

I went to go hug Esme." I'm not leaving" I yelled at my mother.

" Bella the plane is leaving in an hour, we have to go." My mother said while trying to pull me away from Esme.

" Bella, I don't want you to go. But you have to, she's your mother." Esme said in calming voice.

I hugged Esme tighter." I'm going to miss you Esme, you've been like a mother to me. Please tell everyone I love them and also that I'll miss them, especially Edward." I said once I released her.

"Goodbye." I waved to Esme once I got in the car. She waved back with tears in her eyes. What now? I'm broken again.

How can one perfect day turn to hell in just a few moments?…
