Bella's POV

I lay in bed trying to sleep but the same claustrophobic feeling crept up. Ironic. I lived in a huge house and I felt boxed in. This house was almost always empty. Not intentionally of course it's just that my mother worked long hours. So when I lay awake deep into the night my bedroom walls appear to be closing in. Then I thought about my life and when exactly I began to feel empty.

The house hadn't always been like this, well not this house but my old home. I used to live in California with my mother and father. My father Charlie was a writer who fell in love with his editor, Renee. You guessed it Renee is my mother and one of the best editors in L.A. She had just started her own publishing company and my father was her first client. After just three months of working together and dating they realized how much they love each other. They married soon after and went on their honeymoon. Nine months later Renee gave birth to me. We were a happy family. My parents worked and managed to lift the company off the floor. The progress was slow at first but they were able to sign great authors and publish their work. We lived comfortably but not extravagantly.

Unfortunately things changed. When I was eight my father worked late into the night while my mother stayed with me so I wouldn't be home alone. While he was on the road a drunk driver hit his car causing it to flip over. He died two days later in the hospital. The funeral took place just three weeks later and my mother wasn't the same. Our family had been torn.

Renee buried herself in her work. Years passed and when I was thirteen she merged her company with a competing one. Suddenly her firm became the number one publishing company in the United States. With this came the move. The company would have its headquarters located in Seattle. My mother being the adventurer she is decided to drive instead of flying. Neither of us having a great sense of direction only caused trouble. We were lost and found the tiny town of Forks. We stopped at a gas station and asked for directions. Realizing we only had two hours left of driving we took of on the road. Not long after my mother saw a villa on the outskirts of the town. She fell in love with eh house and bought it from the previous owners on the spot. Apparently money was no longer a problem. The owners gave us a tour of the house before they left two weeks later.

It was shaped like a rectangle, two floors not including the basement. The bottom floor contained the living room, dining room, kitchen, music room, library, screening room and a hall for gatherings. The top floor contained an equal ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The basement was changed a wall placed in the middle separating the pool area with the game room. The garage was like a one of the houses we had passed in the town. Right now it holds eight cars. BMW M3, Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, KIA Borrego, Audi A4, Mazda 6, Lexus RX, and Infiniti G35 each one given to me by my mother when she missed an important event. It could be a school play, talent show, Christmas sometimes even my birthday. She thought it would make up for her absence.

I hold the largest room. I painted the walls gray and installed a white carpet. My huge bed covered the entire left wall; black silk sheets covered the mattress. Next to my bed was a door that leads to the walk in closet. The only thing I had in my room was a metal desk with a laptop on top. On the wall adjacent to my bed were two French doors covered by white see through curtains. When opened all you see is grass.

At first my mother stayed with me but she started to get bothered with the drives. By the end of our first year here she had already bought an apartment in Seattle in which she would stay. Renee hired maids that take care of the house and buy groceries. Of course they never stayed they were here Monday through Friday in the morning and left by the time I came from school. I also had a driver until I was old enough the get my license. To my friends I was really lucky I had designer clothes, great cars, a credit card that had no limit but all I wanted was a family. I guess I did get it in a sense even if it was borrowed.

You see my first day at school I met Alice Cullen and her brothers and sister. Alice is a spiky black haired pixie. Rosalie Cullen is a gorgeous blonde who has a big attitude but a bigger heart, her twin Jasper is unbelievably handsome and sensitive and then Emmett, and he is a huge teddy bear. He has the body of a weight lifter but the heart of a kid. They are all together though Alice and Jasper then Rosalie and Emmett. It may sound weird considering I said they were family but let me explain. Carlisle and Esme their parent's can't have children. So they decided to adopt kids all of the same age. What they didn't count on was that those kids would fall in love. The only real blood relation is between Rosalie and Jasper they really are twins.

We all attend Forks High and we are all juniors. I've known them for four years already and they are like my family. They know Renee doesn't come home and they know I sleep alone. They opened their hearts and invited me into their home not out of pity but out of love and I will never be able to repay them enough.

Thinking about them only makes me realize how lonely I feel. I could easily walk to their home. They are my closest neighbors just a mile away. The only thing in between is grass. Instead I just went to my balcony and stared in the direction of their home. After a couple of minutes I went back to bed and let my mind wander off. I slept until the alarm woke me up. I walked outside to shower in the bathroom next door. Making my way to my closest I picked out a short sleeved gray v-neck fitted shirt and black skinny jeans. I grabbed a black buttoned up jacket. As I was pulling up the zipper of my flat gray boots I heard my phone ring. I followed the sound of Claire De Lune and finally found my cell.

"Bella I can't decide between blue or pink." Only Alice would call to ask help between two colors this early in the morning.

"Ah the age old dilemma ensues. I say blue."

"Pink it is. When are you gonna get here?"

"Give me ten minutes and I'll be there."

I made my way to the garage and grabbed the keys to the Audi then left. I reached the Cullen house and before I knocked on the door Alice opened it.

"Finally."

"Good morning to you too."

I walked in as Jasper was coming down the stairs with Rosalie and Emmett behind. After our hello's we walked into the kitchen finding Esme. She was making us pancakes. Carlisle walked in through the door just as we sat down to eat.

"What's wrong Carlisle?" Esme's words made us look up from our plates.

"Kids you remember your cousin Edward." Of course they remembered. Carlisle was shaken up a bit hearing his brother and his wife had been murdered during a house robbery. They caught the thieves but that left Edward alone in Chicago.

"Well as you know we are the only family he has left. I was informed a moment ago that he was expelled from his boarding school so he will be coming this afternoon to live with us permanently. His plane arrives in four hours so Esme and I will go pick him up while the rest of you are at school. I want you coming here after the last bell."

"Why was he expelled?" Emmett asked.

"He was caught in a compromising situation with a female student." Carlisle said in a whisper.

"W-O-W. At least we are aware the kid know how to have a good time." Emmett responded which earned him a smack on the back of the head by Rose.

We ate and them made our way to the front of the house.

"Emmett take the Jeep since I won't be driving you guys back here." I announced.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to interfere with family business."

"You are family." Alice said.

"Listen the kid has been through enough and he probably doesn't want a big welcome. Let him get used to you first and tomorrow you can spring me on him."

"Fine, tomorrow he will meet you." She agreed.

"Good let's go to school. Girls in my car boys in the Jeep."

Alice complained the entire way to school. Accusing me of leaving her alone far too long with her family. We have never spent this much time apart since we meet. Rosalie pouted when she heard Alice and I laughed.

When school was over I said goodbye to everyone and drove home. When I reached my destination I ran to my room and threw my backpack on the chair that I used while I was near the desk. I felt tired so I took a nap and when I realized it was only five I began to panic. The same sinking feeling took over. The only thing I could think of doing was cooking so I prepared pasta and chicken. That didn't take to long though.

I went to the screening room and decided to call Angela. I picked up my phone and pressed the send button once I found Angela's number.

"Hello"

"Angela its Bella"

"Hi Bella! What's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch some movies with me?"

"That sounds great but Jessica is with me and I can't leave her alone in my house."

"She's more than welcome to come too."

"Great Jessica will drive us we'll be there in twenty."

"You know how to get to my house?"

"Yes everyone in Forks knows where you live and the only people that get to go are the Cullen's"

"And now you too." I laughed.

"Guess so." She laughed along with me.

I hung up and they did arrive shortly after. We watched Mean Girls, Fast Times at Ridge Mont High and then Night of the Living Dead. It was close too midnight when they left and I was left alone again. I showered and slipped on a silk midnight blue nightgown that reached a little above my knee. I put on a matching robe but left it untied since it wasn't to cold. I paced back and forth in my room and then looked at the clock that now read two. I decided to tire myself out maybe that would help me sleep better. I picked out silver ballet flats from my closest and walked in the direction of the Cullen house. I was half way when I saw him.

I noticed his messed up bronze hair, those piercing green eyes, the cute nose, kissable lips, and perfect chest. This guy was a God! A Greek God…Adonis in the flesh. All he was wearing were pajama bottoms so I couldn't help but stare. I looked into those green eyes and he did the same.

Who was he? Where did he come from? Maybe I lost my mind. Wait…I just realized…I'm outside. It's two in the morning I'm outside in nothing but a nightgown and I just made my way to a guy I've never seen before.

What am I doing? This guy could seriously hurt me I doubt he will, he doesn't seem like that type of guy. I didn't want to be placed in an unpleasant situation so I acted confident smiled at him and then turned around. I wanted him to follow me I wanted to touch him but I knew that was dangerous so I walked away. I reached my house and I was both relieved and upset he didn't follow me.

By the time I fell back on my bed all I though about was him. Who was he? Why hadn't I seen him before? More importantly why couldn't I get him out of my mind? I had never been boy crazy I didn't care about having a boyfriend. Alice and Rosalie tried on numerous occasions to find someone for me but I always found them dull. They both spent time fixing my brown hair or finding clothes that made my brown eyes pop but I didn't really like it. I allowed it because in the end I knew they would win but I didn't care about dressing up to look nice for a guy. I dressed in what I felt comfortable in. So why was this guy bugging me so much. It could have been those eyes. They held such sadness. I stared at the ceiling until I feel asleep.

I woke up with the help of my alarm clock and instantly regretted getting up. My body was tired and craved more sleep. I made my way to the bathroom and then my closet. I wore jeans with a purple t-shirt a black vest and all black chucks. No point in wearing a jacket since it would be one of the rare days it would be sunny in Forks.

I jumped into my Audi and drove to the Cullen's home. Alice opened the door and was beaming more than usual. I already wondered how someone so small could have so much energy in the morning but this made me a little uneasy. What was going through that pixies mind?

"It's about time you got here Bella. I was about to call you and yell at you."

"Why cause I'm here at the exact same time I always am." She raised her eyebrow and led me to the living room. She went to the kitchen with a granola bar and threw it to me.

"Where is everyone else?"

"Finishing up." She went to the stairs and was loud enough for everyone to hear her next words. "Hurry guys I have granola bars and we need to get to school if we want to give Edward a tour of the school before classes start."

"When do I get to meet Edward?" I asked and Alice looked at me.

"Edward!"

I heard steps coming down the stairs and then I heard a velvet voice answer Alice.

"You mind not yelling so early in the morning I'm still trying to wake up without hurting my head." I laughed and went to the hall to great him.

I looked to the left to find my Adonis. He looked at me and smiled as I returned the gesture. The next words out of Alice's mouth made me blush.

"Is this the beauty you found on you walk?"
