BPOV: I woke up, and groaned. Oh great, it's single awareness day. I hated Valentine's day.

I mean, when I was little I would get candy and cards from my mom, Charlie would send a card. But I mean, that was it. I was a really over done holiday.

I got up, grabbed my toiletries off my dresser and went across the hall. I finished my shower, and looked at the clock as I walked into my room. I was twenty minutes early. I decided to go against the colors of the holiday and I dressed in a sapphire blue top with a cream colored undershirt. Probably one of my nicest outfits. I went out to my truck and saw the dent in my car. The only reminder of the day Edward Cullen stopped the van. I slammed my door. It was bad enough I dreamt of him, but being constantly reminded seemed ten times worse.

I pulled into the parking lot and I saw the distinct Volvo at the other end of the lot. I turned off my car and just sat in the cab. I really didn't want to be around all of the people who would be gushing about roses, chocolate, and boys. Along with the mushiness about the holiday, it just made me want to scream in frustration. I looked up and saw more cars entering the lot, and I got out and made my way up to school. I went to my locker first, hoping that nobody would bug me. " Hey Bella,"

Crap. I turned around and saw Mike. He was holding a box, along with a rose.

" Hey Mike." Please let them be for Jessica, please.

" These are for you." He held them out for me. Fat chance Swan.

I took them, " Thank you Mike, but I really didn't need anything."

He shook his head.You pompous, son of a, " No Bella, I insist. Happy Valentine's Day." He then took off smiling. I sighed. I had the feeling this was going to be a long day.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I was waylaid by Eric after second period. His gift was worse, three boxes of chocolate, six roses, and a small teddy bear. I wanted to scream now. I didn't need four boxes of chocolate.

Eric just handed them to me said, ' Happy Valentine's' and left. I had to make a trip to my locker, which made me late for class. Jessica had gotten a bear and three roses from Mike. I just smiled, glad for her, but wished she had my gifts. I was at my locker, putting away my trig book, when Tyler came up.

Just my luck, now what? A car, or a billboard with my name on it?

I smiled, " Hey Tyler," I wish I hadn't turned.

A basket, A fricking basket, full of chocolate, heart-shaped cookie pops, different types of heart-shaped candies, Two teddy bears, three pink, I'm guessing rose scented, pillar candles with hearts in them, and to boot, and six roses. Great, 13 roses, my lucky number.

" Wow, Tyler, um. Thank you?"

He smiled, " Yea, I still feel bad about almost hitting you, so I got some stuff I thought you would like," He held put the basket, " Happy Valentine's Bella."

I took the basket. I nodded, and mumbled my thanks. The Tyler took off, smiling and walking to lunch. I just looked at the basket. Ok, this probably is the worse gift. I mean it's thoughtful, but. I looked up and saw three of the Cullens staring at me. The boy, Emmett, looked shocked, the blonde, Rosalie looked ticked, and the pixie one, Alice, looked, smug? I then realized I had my locker open and the other gifts were showing. I blushed and turned back to my locker. I managed to get the basket into my locker, and got to lunch. I went up to the front and bought a soda. If I ate I knew I'd be ill. I sat down next to Angela at our usual table. Jessica was telling her how much she had gotten today, and I zoned out. Why did Alice Cullen look smug?

" Bella? What did you get for Valentine's Day?" I broke out of my reverie, and glanced at Jessica. Everyone was staring at me.

" not much," I started but the boys started snorting. Jessica gave them a dirty look.

" Actually Jessica, I got quite a few things." Jessica leaned in towards me, and Lauren, scoffed, " Like anyone would give you anything Bella." I knew I needed to put her in her place.

" So I guess four boxes of chocolate, three teddy bears, thirteen roses, and a basket full of all kinds of goodies is insignificant Lauren?"

All the boys were blushing, Jessica and Lauren's mouths were open, and Angela was grinning from ear to ear. I stood up and left the cafeteria, tired of twenty questions, and I glanced at the Cullen table. Emmett was laughing, Jasper had a tight smile, Rosalie was rolling her eyes, Alice looked oddly satisfied, and Edward. Edward was glaring at the table I just left, like he was upset and frustrated with the people there.

I walked to my biology class, and sat down in my spot at the desk I shared with Cullen. I sat there, just staring at the desktop, waiting for my classmates to trickle inside. I eventually heard the footsteps of everyone entering the room. I continued to stare at the tabletop. I felt his presence, but I refused to acknowledge it. The bell rang, and I lifted my face to the board. The notes were on evolutionary theories, I'd already heard this. I started doodling in my notebook, bored out of my mind, and not trying to focus on the fact my locker probably smelt like a greenhouse mixed with a chocolate factory.

When the bell rang I picked up my bag, and my books, and walked out of the classroom. When I reached the locker rooms, I put my books down and was startled to see a pink envelope on top, with my name on it. I picked it up and started to open it. Please don't let it be from the three bumbling buttaharas.I pulled out a card, it had a drawing on it, of a meadow. I was beautiful. I opened up the card, and was taken back by the elegant script.

Bella, I hope your Valentine's Day is full of wonderful surprises.

Yea, it could be full of wonderful surprises, if gym was cancelled. I put the card back in the envelope, and changed into my gym clothes.

As we played basketball, I somehow got handed the ball. I stood there, the threw it at the hoop. I bounced off the board and was heading back to me, when it suddenly fell backwards into the hoop, scoring my team the winning two points. I just stood there, stunned. Everyone was clapping my back, and cheering me, but I swear I saw Edward walk out of the gym doors.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I went up to my locker, luckily everyone was pretty much gone since it was about a half hour after school, and I didn't need everyone staring at me when I walked out of school with my presents. But how is the question. I managed to fit the four boxes of chocolate, the teddy bear into the basket, but wound up carrying my thirteen roses. I got to my truck and put the basket into the cab next to my bag. I started up the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, spying the Volvo still sitting in its spot. By the time I got to my house I wanted to curl up into a ball and stay that way. As I walked in the front door,

I smelt food. I immediately went to the kitchen. I saw Charlie at the stove, stirring a pot of pasta.

" Hey Dad." He turned to me, " Hey Bells, I cooked up dinner for you. I wanted you to be surprised."

I smiled. " Well, I am surprised. I guess I got dessert," I held up the basket. Charlie's eyes grew round.

" Bells, are, you sure? I mean,"

I nodded. " I can't think of a better way to eat them except with you." Or maybe Edward. I banished that thought. " I'm going to my room, I'll be back."

I hiked up the stairs and went into my room, which had a teddy bear on the bed. I put the basket down, and gingerly picked up the bear. I was mine from when I was little. Bearly, the pink bear from Seattle. In her arms was a single white rose, and a Valentine's card from Charlie. I smiled and put Bearly on my bed stand. I quickly took out the inedible parts of the basket, and set them on the floor. I carried the basket downstairs and into the kitchen, where Charlie was finishing dinner.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I was brushing my teeth, much later than usual after taking a shower. I hated it when I fell asleep too early at night and didn't get to shower. I heard Charlie close his door. I rinsed my mouth out, and turned the light out. I opened the door to my room, and turned on the light. My jaw nearly fell to the floor.

On almost every surface was a cut glass vase filled with dozens of roses. I saw pink, red, white, and even mixtures of the colors. I also saw candles, lit and making the room smell like strawberries, along with a box filled with chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered cookies, really expensive truffles, all held by a giant teddy bear. I looked at my bed stand and saw Bearly and her rose there, but I saw no traces of Mike, Tyler, or Eric's gifts. I then saw a box and card on my bed. I shut the door, and went to the bed. I opened the card, recognizing the meadow again, but this time the message was different.

Dear Bella, your day has been a whirl wind of senseless boys with infatuations, not giving gifts for love, but in hopes that they can gain it. My gift is everlasting to you, and I hope you will forever enjoy one rose in your room will never die, because it is in my heart, which I give to you.

Forever.

I just sat there. I was hoping I was on candid camera or some other show, but then I remembered the box. I opened it and saw a silver heart with a small red stone in the center. I opened it and inside was a small red rose covered by a layer of glass to keep it inside. I saw engraved on the other side and saw it read.

My luve is like a red red rose, thats knewly sprung in June. O my luve is like the melodie thats sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou my bonnie lass, so deep in love am I, I will love you still, my dear till a' the seas gang dry.

I recognized the Robert Burns poem, and I was touched.

I blew out the candles, turned out my light and snuggled into bed, the locket around my neck. It was a wonderful Valentines after all, I thought drifting to sleep, and I heard a soft humming, like a lullaby coming from my window.
