Preface

Edward squeezed me gently. "I'm here." He said as we came out of the forest and I looked back once more only to see that Jacob had disappeared already.

I drew in a deep breath.

That was true Edward was here, with his arms around me.

I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with my destiny solidly at my side.

Chapter 1

Come Back

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN, YOU GET YOUR BUTT INTO THIS HOUSE AT ONCE." Charlie said as soon as he saw us. "AND YOU, GET OUT OF HERE NOW."

"Dad don't be so mean."

"It's okay Bell I'll see you later." With that said Edward gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and was gone.

As soon as I got in the door I knew what was going to happen.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY."

"First of all Dad I am not a young lady and I was out on a walk with Edward so we could talk things over okay." and right then I knew I saw a surge of pain drift through him.

"Okay well just get up stairs right now and we will talk about your punishment later." I could sense that he was starting to calm down.

"Okay Dad, I love you."

Quickly I darted up the stairs and into my room.

"So how bad." Edward said sitting in the middle of my bed.

"I'm not sure exactly but we need to get the bike out of here before he notices."

"Already taken care of."

"Thanks."

Why did he have to be so perfect it's like he is always one step ahead of the world.

"So are you ready for the English exam?"

"Ugh I totally for got." Great now I have to worry about that too.

"Why don't you get some rest it'll probably be a long day tomorrow."

"Okay but promise that you will stay."

"I promise."

With his promise I crawled under my quilt and soon I heard a beautiful humming in my ear as if it was a lullaby when it was my song.

I woke up to find this beautiful person lying next to me.

"Your still here."

"Of course."

He leaned in and pressed his cold lips to my forehead sending a million sparks through me.

"You should get ready."

"And you should probably leave and get changed." I insisted. "We don't need Charley seeing you come out of my room."

"See you later." He kissed my forehead once more and dissapeard.

I hurried to get ready for school because I needed to be early to cram in some quick studying before the English exam.

"Where's the fire?" Charley asked as soon as I reached the kitchen.

"Need to do some last minute studying."

I scarfed down a bowl of cereal as fast as my humanly body could.

"Bella."

"Yeah Dad?"

"Don't forget we still need to have at talk later." His voice stern

Shoot that's right

"Kay Dad see you later."

I looked out the window and just as I suspected there was the silver Volvo. I ran out the door as fast as I could and jumped in well Edward held the door open for me.

"Ready?" He answered gleaming

"Yeah." was all I could mutter .

The day seemed to go by really fast, like it was just wanting to hurry up, and get to my torture. Until lunch.

I went to lunch expecting it to be the same as it always was with me, Edward, and Alice when I noticed this very familiar but strange person sitting at my table. I walked over slowly trying to be cautious when all of his features seemed more familiar.

"Japer what are you doing here?'

"Oh hey Bella," he answered smiling at me but I could still see the caution in his eyes. "I suppose to stay with you till the end of the day."

Suddenly I relized that there were two empy seats and my angel was missing.

"Where's Edward and Alice."

"They had to go hunting."

"Why didnt Edward tell me earlier?"

"Cause he didnt want you to have to worry."

"Why would I have to worry?"

"Cause you always seem to worry when he goes away."

I could tell that he was lying but I let it drop for right now.

The rest of lunch was pretty quiety beside our small talk every once in a while.

"Well I have to go to class see you later Jasper." I said as a walked towards the door.

"Actually I'm going to be with you all day."

"You really dont have to do that Jasper."

"But I do." He said as he met my pace.

I gave a slight moan and decided to go with it.

The rest of the day was a little weird with everyone constantly asking why Jasper was here when he gradiuated last year, but i couldnt answer them cause I honestly didnt know the answer myself.

When the last bell rang I had some questions myself.

"Why do you need to watch me Jasper?" I asked curiously

"To make sure you dont do anything stupid."

"I can tell your lying to me so tell me the real reason please."

With that he gave a slight sigh and I could tell that I had won.

"Victoria is back and we have to make sure that she doesnt get anywhere near you." He said watching me cautously.

"Vic..Victoria."
