"Bella... Please do this graduation party? For Alice? Please?" Edward was pleading, begging for Bella to give in. "NO EDWARD! NO PARTIES!" Edward turned his bottom lip out and gave Bella

his most dazzling puppy dog eyes. "Son of a BITCH Edward!" Bella stomped and grabbed her collarbone, adding pressure so she would feel the physical pain and not CAUSE Edward Pain.

Not that she could... but the thought was intriguing. Edward smiled broadly and put his cold hand on Bella's shoulder. Alice squealed from the room above. "THANK YOU BELLA! THANK YOU

THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Bella rolled her eyes. "Edward... why can't you keep a leash on her on occasion? "HEARD THAT BELLA! I'M STRONGER THAN HIM... THAT'S WHY!" Edward scoffed. Bella

simply looked at Edwards topaz eyes and shook her head vigorously whilst walking out of the house and going home for the night. Edward noted the blush in her searing cheeks and caught

one hand around her waist as she began her decent down the steps. "Love, must you be so upset? You know we just love you and want to let you have every human memory possible."

Bella couldn't fight his lustful hand on her hip. She swayed back into him and cuddled her head deep into his chest. "I know Edward... I just... it's... I'm so damn clumsy. Bad things follow

me... It just makes me nervous." Edward chuckled and repeated his usual monotonous speech. "Bella dear, you know we wouldn't let a thing happen to you." Tears squeezed out of Bella's

closed eyes. Edward felt them fall to his hand and placed his lips on her forehead. "I love you dearest." Bella raised her head and with her eyes still closed, searched for his mouth. He

chuckled darkly and helped her out, placing his lips gently on her own warm mouth. Her lips parted and Edward's tongue slid passionately along her bottom lip. Bella's hands came up and

into his hair in an instant, tangling with its warm colored locks in a second. Edward pulled back. "DAMMIT BELLA!" Bella lowered her head and laughed. "Take me home Edward, before I

realize what I'm missing out on." Edward rolled his eyes and grabbed his Bella up into cradling arms. In a second they were in not his car, but Alice's yellow Porsche. Edward took his darling

home and put her into bed. When she hit the pillow, she was already snoring.

Phoenix

Bella sat on her bed with her head between her knees. She was feeling sick- she didn't want this graduation party. Alice had planned the party in three days- and had probably invited

everyone in the entire universe. She was nervewrecked... the entire school in the house of a large family of blood drinking vampires? INSANITY! Edward was going to come get her soon, but

there was a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something was wrong. Something bad was going to happen. Bella had called Alice on several occasions already- and oddly, Alice couldn't

see Bella's future. So, needless to say, Alice was a little worried as well. She didn't like it when Bella dropped off the map. "BELLS! YOU HAVE COMPANY!" Bella smiled. Edward was here. She

picked her feet off the ground and ran to her closet, slipping into a pair of dark black skinny jeans and a red tee shirt, slipping her converse on as she ran out the door. She was about half

way down the stairs when her foot caught on the banister and she flew the rest of the way. A pair of unstable arms caught her before her face slammed into the last step. It wasn't

Edward... Bella looked up into a calm, handsome face. Handsome wasn't the word. HOT was the word. Bella looked the stranger from the feet up. He was dressed in a pair of baggy black

jeans that were ripped into tiny horizontal strips. His arms were heavily muscled and clothed in only a deep black wife beater. Bella raised an eyebrow. WHOA. Her mind was going a million

miles per hour... Who was this? Vampire? Here to kill her? NOOO... Why would he have caught her? She looked back into his eyes... They were green, a bright green really. Almost lime. His

lips were full and plump, his hair pretty close to buzzed. "Bells... Do I know him? Did you and Edward have a fall out?" Charlie looked at Bella with upmost surprise on his face. He was

completely serious. "Cha... Dad... no. we're fine. He's uh... just taking me over there. He's Edward's cousin." Charlie nodded. "Oh.. Ok. Well love ya Bells. Have a good night, see you later

alright?" Charlie walked out of the room and Bella was faced with the stranger. "Alright dude... Who are you?" The hottie smiled. Bella melted in his arms. "I'm your worst nightmare Bella."

Bella's heart staggered. "Wha... What?" "The Names Phoenix. Don't be scared, I can smell it on you, ya know." Bella was confused. "look.. .I have to go. It was nice meeting you." She took

her arms from around him and walked past him, getting into her truck. Charlie thought she was leaving, so she figured she would actually go somewhere so as not to raise suspicions... not

that he shouldn't have any. She was suspicious as hell. Bella got in the truck and slid the ancient key into ignition, and without another thought drove towards Jacob.
