Ok...listen up...because I'm only saying this once. None of the characters belong to me but to Stephanie Meyer, the plot however...is my story. This is going to be an Edward/Bella story to start with but it gets to be a Bella/Jasper story in time. Honestly I'm not really a B/J fan but I chose Jasper because I swear my fiancé is an empath...but it's all true...every word of it. Well except for the vampire and mythical parts...obviously...anyways...

I held her in my arms the day she was born. Perfect and fair, my little angel, my little Isabella. The moment her flesh touched mine she took my heart and breath away. Every day since then I have sang her to sleep even when her mother took her away from me. It was my fault Renee left...I chose to remove her from her comfort zone to a place I knew she hated-so it was no surprise when she left. Renee isn't cruel though, she saw the love I had for Bella, and went out of her way to make sure I could still sing her to sleep. Over the years I have sang through her mother's arms, Bella's crib, and now her bed, changing over the years as she aged. "Hush little baby don't say a word, daddies gonna buy you a mocking bird..."

Bella

"I hate you! You don't understand!" I screamed at him. I couldn't believe he couldn't see how much he was hurting me. As Chief of Police in Southfork he was always working double, sometimes even triple, shifts leaving me alone. It wasn't always like this. We used to have FUN. Until he decided to build a new house as an escape from the pain of his memories. After mom left him he became a hermit only leaving the house when I asked him to...but he started to drink. He used to always be there when I needed him, would even sing me to sleep when my heart was broken. But now we were having our usual argument-over the phone. This honestly, pissed me off. He wasn't even scheduled to work today but he volunteered his time anyway. I finally hung up the phone and stormed of to bed but at around midnight my door squeaked open and my hair was swept out of my hair and he straightened my covers. "Hush little baby don't say a word, mommas gonna buy you a mocking bird..." huh, he still loved me...he still cared.

Two years later

I have never understood the point of football...you intentionally went to get your ass kicked over a tiny scrap of leather. (A/N sorry if I offend any football players) Personally I think soccer has a lot more strategy involved. Anyway, in this case football is important. I only go to the games to hang out with my friends...which coincidentally all had better things to do today...so I sat alone feeling lonely and rejected. I wasn't really paying attention to anything so naturally I freaked out when he walked up behind me.

"Bella?" I whirled around to face him and smacked him before I realized what I had just done.

"Omigod...I'm so sorry!" I then began closely inspecting his face to make sure there was no damage done.

"Bella, it's ok really." I still didn't know who I was talking to but I was mortified just the same.

"But I slapped you! I'm really sorry..."

"Your Charlie Swans' daughter aren't you?"

I bit my lip afraid of where this was going "yes?"

"Then it's understandable." he said as a smile broke out acrossed his face.

I stared at him watching his cheek turn redder by the second and finally his chestnut eyebrow slowly rose in confusion.

"I'm really sorry!"

"Bella..."

"I really am...do you need anything? Ice? Oh god, I'm so sorry..."

"Bell..."

"No! I didn't mean it! I'm really sorry!"

"Ok I'll let you make it up to me..."

"How?"

"Will you go to homecoming with me?"

I gawked at him through the awkward silence.

"What?"

"You know...you buy a somewhat fancy dress...let me take you out to dinner...dance with me...ring any bells?"

I rolled my eyes "smart ass..."

"Hey, it's better than being a dumb ass isn't it?"

"Maybe...depending on where the brains are."

We both laughed for a moment until he broke the moment.

"Seriously...will you go with me?"

"Are you really serious?"

"As serious as Pluto is a planet."

"But we don't even know each other..."

"Hi! I'm Edward Cullen!" And the cocky bastard actually extended his hand. I stared at it for a moment but it was obvious he was persistent so I shook his hand. "Bella Swan. But you already knew that."

It took maybe two days after that to figure out he was a vampire but it took me a week to realize that I was in love with him. It has been five months since then and Edward and I are still going steady...even if I wanted to move forward. I climbed into Evalyn (my broken down '95 Ford Explorer) and drove out to his house. As I pulled into his driveway I couldn't help but smile when I saw he was waiting for me. I belonged in the arms that seemed to be made just for me. I belonged with Edward forever.

I can still remember the look on Edwards face when he took me to meet his family on that homecoming night. We had been "together" for two weeks when he drove me to his house. Introducing me to each of his family members I tried desperately to hide the smile that was now cramping my cheeks, when he said "Bella, there is something you need to know about us before things get too far... were-"

"Vampires, right? Oh, but of course the good ones who don't drink from humans right?"

Oh, the look was priceless...I can't even describe it but Alice and I DIED laughing.

Laughter was a big part of my life for about five blissful months.

Until suddenly Edward and I weren't so close...but he grew closer with Alice. Obviously I knew that the Cullen's weren't blood related *chuckle* more like venom related. I knew Carlisle had changed Edward and Esme but Alice was kind of the odd woman out like me. However, her beauty...was far more undeniable than my own speck of light... and my laughter died with that fateful call...

"Bella...Bella love I'm so sorry...I-I slept with her. Goodbye"

No explanation was needed... How could I blame him for loving Alice? Like I said...she was so much better than me...I'm not surprised...

But that's the day the blade became my best friend.
