Chapter 1

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Isabella Marie Cullen. Everyone calls me Bella. I'm 17, 18 in a couple of months I live in Los Angeles; with my parents Carlisle and Esme, I also have a twin sister Alice, and she's my best friend. My mum is a famous Fashion designer and my dad is a famous brain surgeon.

"Dad this is ridiculous we don't need bodyguards!" I yelled.

Dad glared at me. "It is not ridiculous Isabella. My daughters need to be protected; you and your sister need a bodyguard."

"Dad will we be getting a bodyguard each or will their just be one protecting both of us." A hyper Alice asked.

"You will each be getting a separate full time bodyguard; they will both be staying in our guest bedrooms." He replied.

"Bella I need you to understand with the threat letter we received your mum and I just want to protect you." My dad said.

"So I'm going to be followed in my own home." You couldn't really call it that it's more like a mansion than a home.

"Yes, they are both starting tomorrow, so don't be rude girls" and he walked out and slammed the door.

Alice giggled "come on Bella I think this could really be fun, and who knows maybe our bodyguards will be hot."

"Sure Alice." I laughed chucking a pillow at her.

"Good night Bella. "She said skipping out of the room; I could here her laughter from down the hall."

"Good night Alice." I yelled back.

I climbed into bed, turned my lamp off and feel into a dreamless sleep asleep.

The next morning I woke up and ran into Alice's room and jumped on her bed.

Alice moaned and rubbed her eyes. "Get. Out. My. Room"

"Nope" I said grinning.

She narrowed her eyes at me.

"By the way, we are going for a run, so get your jogging clothes on!" I called as I ran out of the room slamming the door.

I snatched up my black shorts and a blue tank top. After I was dressed I put my hair up in a ponytail, I brushed my teeth, grabbed my IPod and ran out of the room.

When I got outside, Alice was standing in red shorts and a tank top, with a pout on her face. I laughed.

"Let's move it, Ally." I called.

When we got to the end of our street, I started to run, turning my IPod on. Ciara - Get Up started to play.

The song finished just as we started running through the park. I started to pick up my speed. This was stupid because I tripped, falling on to the gravel.

Alice came over to me "Are you okay?" she asked urgently. "Did you hurt yourself?"

I rolled my eyes and jumped up. "Alice I'm fine, I just fell, and I fall all the time" I said taking off. I turned my IPod on again.

"Race you!" I shouted as I sprinted past Alice. I pushed my legs as fast as I could, I heard Alice picking up speed behind me. I beat Alice home. I was sitting casually on the porch stairs when she came up, out of breath and collapsed on the stairs in front of me. I was grinning. "You are so unfit." I laughed.

"Bella, Alice."Our mum called from inside the house. She found us, took one look at Alice and she burst into laughter. "What the hell?"

"Morning jog" I told her, grinning.

"Oh, and my guess is you made a bet with Alice " she said.

"Hey, she is really fast!" Alice cut in. "I hate morning runs."

Mum laughed. "Your Dad wants to see you both." I groaned. "Oh, and get dressed into other clothes" she added as she walked off.

"Come on Bella lets go." Alice said grabbing my arm and pulling me up. We walked into my room and Alice walked into my closet and came out 10 minutes later with faded skinny jeans and a blue tank top. "Here put these on." she said chucking them at me.

"Thanks Ally."

She left going to her own room to change herself.

I walked in; dad was sitting behind his desk, looking at some papers. Ally and I sat on the chairs across from him.

"I called you down here to meet the new bodyguards."

"Alice your bodyguards name is Jasper Whitlock and Bella yours is Edward Masen."

We didn't say anything

He sighed and pressed a button. "Esme, can you send jasper and Edward in now."

"Sure honey."

Five minutes later the door opened "Thanks Esme"

"Edward, Jasper I would like you to meet my daughters Isabella and Alice. You will be with them at all times, understand me?"

"Yes sir" I heard a musical voice say. My heart stopped, wow, that was a beautiful voice.

"Bella, Alice I would like you to meet Edward and Jasper your new body guards."

I sighed and stood up, and turned around. My mouth dropped. There was a blonde man with blue eyes and a bronze haired Adonis standing next to the blonde.

"Hi I'm Jasper." the blonde introduced himself.

O' my god that must mean the bronze haired Adonis is Edward Masen my bodyguard.

"Hello I'm Edward."

Edward Masen was absolutely handsome.

"H-Hi" I managed to get out. Real smooth Bella. Real smooth.
