"Dad, I am going to be fine! Will you please stop worrying?" I asked for the last time. He was trying to guilt me into staying, but it was not going to happen. I needed my space and college was the perfect way to get it. I had been doing thus far but her was in full guilt mode now.

"Bells, I'm just worried. You'll be overseas, in a different country. Your old man isn't going to be there if something happens… Wait, maybe I'll move there with you! It could be fun! You wouldn't have to worry about an annoying roommate or buying your own food." He was really trying now. I had to cut him off before it actually worked.

"I'm going to college dad, I won't have much time to myself. So as much fun as that sounds, you need to stay here. You can't just up and leave the police station, Chief." I could see he looked a little disappointed but I was going to college. I wouldn't have that much time for him. I need my space, and even if it disappointed him, I was going to get it.

"Final boarding for London, England. Repeat, final boarding for London, England."

"That's me dad. I gotta go. Remember to take care of Jacob. He likes to be walked once a day, at least. I left everything you need to know about him in the note book. Plus I left out the recipes. Don't just eat at the diner. Put my lessons to work, just don't burn the house down." We both laughed together. It was a possibility for Charlie, he was a horrible cook, even with my help.

"I got it Bells. Go, before I change my mind and drag you off that plane and lock you in your room for the rest of you life."

I rolled my eyes. Charlie was never good with goodbyes.

"I'm gonna miss you dad." I said. Tears were just waiting to spill from my eyes.

"I'm gonna miss you too, kid. Be good. Here, take this." He said. Usually when you go away from your parents, they give a little something to remember them by, a little memento. Not Charlie. I rolled the can over a read the label.

"Pepper spray? Dad, really?"

"It'll give your old man some piece of mind. Keep it with you, please."

"Sure dad," with the look on his face, there was no way I could say no to him. "Well, I'll call you when I get off the plane in London."

"Bye Bells."

"Bye dad."

With that, and an awkward hug, I was off to Gate B10 to board my plane. I couldn't show Charlie how getting on this plane was eating me up. Planes scared me to death. I worked on not hyperventilating, but was failing miserably. I was so concentrated, in fact, that I walked right past my seat. I turned back around only to find the most beautiful man sitting in the seat next to mine.

"Um, hi. Can I get to my seat please?" I was surprised that I could get that much out, my brain felt so jumbled at this point.

He looked up from his book with the most piercing emerald green eyes I had ever seen. I swear my heart stopped altogether.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said. He got up so I could make my way to the window seat.

As soon as I was down, I closed the door to the little window. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to keep that open.

"You can't stand to have it open either?" he asked, leaning over towards me.

"No, I hate planes. Everything about them, I just… I just don't like them." I could tell he wanted to sake me something, but hesitated. Instead, he introduced himself.

"I'm Edward Masen." he said, extending his hand.

"Bella Swan." I answered, taking his hand in mine.

"So Bella, if you hate flying so much, why are you going all the way to London?" he asked. I could see curiosity dancing in his eyes.

"College. I'm going to London University to study literature. None of the colleges around here have what I want, so I looked for a college at a place I've always wanted to go to; hence London."

I was surprised at how easy it was to talk to Edward. Even though I had just met him, I wanted to tell him everything about me. But I didn't want to bore the poor man.

"London University? I'm going there too. It'll be nice to go there knowing someone else. "

"What are we, chopped liver?" A man who was as big as a gorilla almost screamed from the seat directly across from us. He had very dark curly hair you I could see the muscles straining under his shirt. But something about his face seemed almost child-like.

"Bella, this is my brother Emmett and my sister Alice. We're triplets."

I hadn't even noticed the girl he was talking about until she peaked out from behind Emmett. She was the smallest person I had ever seen, almost fairy-like. She has short, spiky, jet black hair standing in every which way on her head. Although she was little, I felt as though I should be scared of her.

"I'm hurt little bro. Truly, deeply hurt. And if your going to act like that, we might as well not even share a dorm. You can find our own damn place!" Emmett said with a mocking look on his face.

"Chill Emmett. I didn't forget about you." As soon as he said that, a big grin crossed Emmett's face. "They are also going to LU. And against my wished, he is rooming with me."

"It's nice to meet you Bella." Emmett said. I thought maybe he would give me a handshake, but no. He got up, leaned over Edward and gave me a big bear hug.

"Emmett! Get off her before you suffocate her you big bear!" Edward said, pushing him off me and himself.

He let me go with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, but anyone who puts that look on my little brothers face is ok in my book."

"Great, I just met you and their already embarrassing me. It usually takes them a little longer." he said, blushing.

That perfect shade of crimson melting on his face made me want to reach out and caress his cheek. I fought the urge and somehow made it out without embarrassing myself.

"Don't worry about it. It's nice to meet you too Emmett, Alice." I said, trying to take the attention off of him, I could tell he was still very embarrassed.

"Oh, Bella. We are going to be great friends! I can just feel it. We can go shopping whenever we don't have class and I con do makeovers on you! It's going to be so much fun! What's your dorm number? I want to know where I'll be able to find you."

Oh dear, shopping. I could now tell hey she seemed so scary to me. She seemed friendly enough but this friendship was going to be a torturous one, that I could feel.

While searching for my dorm papers I heard Edward whisper to Alice. "Don't scare her away Alice. You can be quite controlling when it comes to shopping, don't subject her to that torture."

"Shush Eddie! I'm talking to Bella."

I laughed quietly at them while I looked over my dorm papers. "I'm in room 311. Oh no." I started to read my papers a little bit closer, only to find out I was put in the coed building!

"What's wrong?" Edward asked, concerned.

"They put me in the coed building." This was just great. The coed building? It had humiliation written all over it.

"Yes!" Alice pretty much shrieked. "We're in the same room Bella! Isn't this great? W can hang out all the time now!"

I did have to admit, it was nice knowing who I was going to be living with. I'm just glad it's not a guy.

"You don't have to do anything she tells you to do you know. She can be quite convincing that devious one." I had to laugh. The way he talked about her was just too funny.

"It's ok. Maybe she'll put a little pep in my life." I had to laugh again. Dorm life was sure going to be interesting.

"Hey Eddie," Emmett started.

"You know I don't like it when you call me that."

"Yeah, I know." Emmett laughed, Alice and I along with him.

"What do you want?" Edward asked, sounding a little angry.

"Aren't we in room 312, coed building?" Emmett asked.

Edward got out his papers and looked for himself.

"Yes, we are in room 312." Edward said.

My heart stopped again for the second time today. Was I going to be able to handle living next to this God-like man beside me?

I didn't have anymore time to think about that because the planes engines started and the seatbelt light came on. I put my bag on the floor and quickly put my seatbelt on as tightly as it would go without cutting off my circulation.

I could feel the sweat on my forehead. My breathing started to speed up. I wasn't going to be able to handle this. This was going to be the death of me.

I looked up just in time to see a tall, lean man with blond hair stop at our seats.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but you have to put up the door for the window until we are at a safe altitude."

Without looking at the window, I fumbled, trying to pull it up. I could see in his eyes that he was concerned. He could tell I was about to lose it. I tried to conceal it the best I could.

"My name is Jasper. If there is anything I can get either of you to help during this flight, you let me or Rosalie, the other flight attendant, know, alright?"

I looked over at Edward to see that he had his eyes closed and looked just as frightened as I was.

"Yes, thank you." I told Jasper before he walked away. Edward just nodded.

I felt the plane move and almost broke down right there. Planes didn't just scare me, they also held memories, painful memories that I didn't necessarily want to remember.

I closed my eyes as well, trying to think of anything to calm me right now. When the plane started to get speed, I felt someone grab me hand. I looked over to eel that Edward, without opening his eyes, had grasped my hand tightly in his. And that's all I needed. His touch seemed to calm me nerves enough to make me relax, as we ascended into the clouds.

"Thank you, Edward."
