Chapter 1 - My Hero
BPOV
It was the last Saturday night of summer vacation so Emmett and Alice dragged me to some boy named Mike Newton's party. I had never been to a party in Forks yet, despite being here for about four months now. I moved to Forks around May so it was too late in the school year for me to start at Forks High, so I was to start in my Junior year now in September.
Apparently, it was tradition for Mike Newton to throw a back-to-school party every year on the Saturday before school reopened. I had been kind of nervous to come as I didn't know any of the kids from Forks High, but Alice and Emmett had convinced me that it would be a great way to meet people before my official first day. So, I came.
We were lucky Carlisle was on duty tonight so we were able to let loose and have fun (i.e. get drunk without worrying about having to save the world!). Carlisle, Alice, Emmett and I were superheroes, dedicated to protecting the lives of innocent people daily. I was Shield, Emmett was Megaman, Alice was Hourglass, and Carlisle was X-Ray. I had been fighting crime with them ever since I moved to Forks.
After my parents died when I was very young, I moved in with some relatives in Alaska – the Denali's. They were also superheroes and helped me grow and develop my powers. I was home-schooled for a while before I learnt how to control my powers and could go to regular school by day, as well fight crime by night.
Unfortunately, after a traumatic incident with a villain in Alaska, it was decided that I would leave the Denali's and move in with our cousins, the Cullen's. I moved to Forks around May so it was too late in the school year for me to start at Forks High, so I was to start in my Junior year. I had spent lots of time with the Cullen's in previous years so I was already fairly close to them, but now that I was spending every day with them I grew closer to them. They were family.
Carlisle eventually adopted me so I was officially Isabella Cullen, sister of Emmett and Alice Cullen, and daughter of Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Biologically they were my cousins, aunt and uncle, but I was so close to them I saw them as my siblings and 2nd parents. Sure, I had been close with the Denali's, but it was different with the Cullen's. I felt like I belonged with them.
Anyway, we had just walked into Mike Newton's house and the party was already in full swing. I adjusted my outfit which Alice had chosen for me. I didn't feel entirely comfortable in it but Alice had assured me I looked hot so I agreed to wear it. I was wearing a skin-tight black lace dress with lots of cleavage and stopped mid-thigh, and simple flat black pumps because heels would've been a nightmare.
We walked in and Emmett left us to greet some of his friends so Alice decided to introduce me to some people. Alice introduced me to Mike and he was already sloshed. He barely even knew my name but he was offering me a "night of absolute pleasure".
"Get lost Mike," Alice said rolling her eyes. "She's not interested."
Alice pulled us away from Mike and I was internally grateful.
"Sorry about him, he's quite a douche." Alice told me rolling her eyes again. "Want a drink?" she asked pulling me towards the bar.
"Sure," I said and we grabbed some ciders.
"Oh my gosh!" I flinched as a voice screeched in my ear. I looked up to see a very tipsy blonde in some booty shorts and a tight bralette. "You must be Isabella Cullen. The new girl," she said slurring her words.
I couldn't help but giggle at her. She was a very amusing drunk. "Yeah, I am. But you can just call me Bella," I told her finishing up my drink and opening another one.
"Awwww Bellaaaaa," she started giggling and put her arm around my shoulders. "That is such a pretty name."
I nodded my head at her looking to Alice for a little help.
"This is Jessica," Alice told me and was about to continue but then a boy with wavy blonde hair surprised her by hugging her from behind. Alice turned around and a huge smile formed on her face and they started making out. I was immediately forgotten.
This was Jasper, Alice's boyfriend. They had been dating for a few weeks now. One day after a rough fight with a villain named Nightmare, Alice met Jasper. She said he's changed her life. I didn't understand how that was possible considering they'd known each other for less than a month, but I learnt not to question Alice a long time ago.
When they were together they pretty much ignored everyone around them so I was stuck with Jessica who was currently using my body weight to keep herself upright. I slowly pulled Jessica's arms off me.
"Jessica, would you like to sit down?" I asked with genuine concern.
She shook her head as fast as she could, it was almost comical if I wasn't afraid that the fast movement would cause her to throw up.
"No." she said firmly. "Let's go get shots! Woohoo!"
And suddenly I was being dragged to the bar again. I tried to stop her but she was so damn quick for a drunk person. She had very messily poured 6 tequila shots, 3 of which were laid out in front of me.
"Jessica, I don't think this is a good idea –"
"Cheers!" Jessica said and downed the first shot. When she was done, she started giggling like a mad woman.
Aw fuck, looks like there's only one way I'm gonna stop her… I quickly downed the 5 remaining shots before Jessica could notice. Fuck. Tequila burned. And it hit really fast. Jessica eventually looked back at the empty shot glasses on the table.
"Hey! What happened to the rest of my shots?" she asked looking around confused.
"Jess, you drank them all," I told her hoping she was drunk enough to believe me.
She looked confused for a moment and then slapped her forehead. "Oh!" she exclaimed and started laughing again. "Let's go talk to Mike!" she exclaimed excitedly and dragged me across the room again.
Aw damn, I was hoping to avoid Mike the entire night. He was a bit of a prick. Jessica found him with ease and basically threw herself on him. "Mikey! This is a great party," she said giggling and started flirting with him. Mike noticed me standing awkwardly behind Jess and smiled at me. He whispered something in Jessica's ear to which she responded with a wide smile. I think I heard him say "wait for me in my bedroom", but I didn't hear everything. Jessica nodded her head so fast and gave Mike a kiss on the cheek before walking away and making her way to the stairs.
Mike then approached me. "Hey gorgeous," he said in what I think was supposed to be a sexy voice but was mostly repulsing. "Let's take a seat and let our tongues get to know each other better."
I was utterly repulsed. I was about to pull away but Mike practically pushed me onto the couch behind us. He sat too close for comfort to me and there was no space for me to move up because of the couple heavily making out on my other side. I was literally trapped. Mike's eyes were on my boobs and it made me feel uncomfortable.
"I'm not really interested…" I started to say but Mike was already advancing.
He put his one arm around my shoulder and the other on my knee. He started rubbing up and down my thigh. I pushed his arm away but he pulled me closer and tried to kiss me. I moved my face away from him and he started kissing my neck. It was the most uncomfortable feeling ever.
I was struggling to push Mike away when I looked up and locked eyes with a beautiful set of green eyes. A boy with sexy bronze hair and perfect features was staring back at me in concern. 'Need help?' he mouthed to me, completely ignoring some blonde girl who was trying to get his attention.
I nodded my head. He pushed past the girl who looked completely shocked. He came straight up to me and pushed Mike away from me.
"Hey! There you are! I've been looking for you all night," he said casually to me. "Mike I think Jessica is looking for you." he gave Mike a harsh glare.
Mike looked up at him in confusion. I also looked at him in confusion, my intoxicated brain struggling to comprehend what was happening.
"You have?" I asked confused.
"Yeah!" he said and winked at me. "We need to talk about that thing you needed help with earlier." he kept hinting.
"Oh right!" I said understanding his plan to save me. "Sorry Mike, I gotta go." I said and got up as fast as I could.
"Come on," this mystery boy grabbed my hand and started pulling me to the other side of the house.
"Thank you so much for that. You are literally my hero!" I told him shyly.
He looked at me and smirked. "Well I wouldn't consider myself a hero," he said winking at me. "but the pleasure is all mine."
I didn't understand why he was denying being a hero. Boys like him were the heroes our society needed. The everyday man who helps innocent girls at parties. I couldn't stop smiling at him and I giggled a little. How ridiculous a thought that a superhero like me would need saving from an average guy like him.
"Can I get you a drink?" he asked me with a dazzling smile. I just nodded not really finding words at the moment. I was stunned by his beauty.
"I'm Edward, by the way," he told me casually as he passed me a double vodka and coke mix.
"Bella," I told him and started drinking my drink.
"Beautiful…" he translated from Italian. I playfully rolled my eyes. "It fits," he said sincerely. "So how come I've never seen you around before?" he asked me as he leaned against the wall.
We were in a semi-dark corner and we were standing quite close to each other so we could hear each other over the loud music. I told Edward that I was new to Forks High, and how I was related to the Cullen's. I don't know how much longer we spoke for but soon we were heavily making out in the dim corner. I don't know what it was about Edward but I found him incredibly alluring.
I don't know how long we had been making out before Edward whispered in my ear, "would you like to come back to my place?" in the sexiest of voices.
I felt a shiver down my spine and he must've noticed because I felt him smile against my ear before he started playfully nibbling it.
"Won't your… won't your p-parents be around?" I struggled to talk as the combination of the alcohol and his tender touches had my brain frazzled.
"No. They're out of town for the weekend." he said then pulled back to smirk at me. He looked into my eyes and I was dazzled. It was like he was hypnotising me. "Come on," he said and then started pulling me out the house. I followed him eagerly. He held my hand as we walked through the street.
"Do you live close by?" I asked him.
"Yeah, just around the corner." he smiled down at me.
We stumbled our way down the street and I giggled the whole way there. I decided to have fun and tease Edward a bit. I wasn't planning on having sex with him – I had made that clear – but I wasn't opposed to trying other stuff.
Finally we made it back to Edwards house and the two of us were horny as hell. He took me straight to his bedroom where we continued making out. Both of our clothes were off in record time. A few times Edward asked if we could have sex and I explained to him why I just couldn't do it. Although I felt ready, I was saving myself for marriage. He didn't push, which I appreciated, and we carried on fooling around until we eventually both fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning to the sun shining in my eyes. I opened my eyes and groaned at the harsh light. I turned my body away from the light and came face to face with another person. I blinked a few times, trying to get my eyes to adjust. Lying in bed next to me was the boy from last night – Edward.
"Holy shit."
