Chapter 1

---BPOV---

I heard my name being said.

"Bella, wake up honey. Come on love, wake up." Edward. My beautiful angel. The love of my life who would never leave me. He pressed his cool lips to mine. I opened my eyes to see Edward leaning over me.

"Bella! Wake up! You're gonna make us late for school! Edward, stop distracting her!" Emmett yelled as he barged through the door.

"Geez Emmett, you couldn't be louder if you tried." I groaned.

"Actually I could. Wanna hear?" he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"No thanks" I muttered sourly. That was the problem with living in a house full of seven vampires. Thinking of that brought back painful memories. My father, his lifeless body in the coffin after he was stabbed to death when arresting a man for drink-driving, that horrible funeral in which my mother and Phil, the Quileutes, the Cullens, and nearly the whole town had attended dressed in black due to the loss of an honoured chief police officer. After the funeral Carlisle had signed the adoption forms and here I was now, a member of the Cullen family. It had been two months since the funeral; and I was coping well with my supportive family.

"Bella, BELLA! Hello, are you in there?" Emmett snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Huh, what?" I said.

"We were getting a bit worried there Bells, you kinda zoned out. Anyways, hurry up! Get out Edward so she can get changed." Emmett said as he yanked Edward out the door; frustrated by my slowness. I hurried to get dressed in some black skinny-leg jeans, a pretty blue top with a pattern and a nice jacket. It was plain but I liked it. I pulled a brush through my wavy, dark brown hair and skipped downstairs as Jasper was walking up, but, being me, I tripped and fell straight into his arms. I blushed madly as he smirked at me.

"Still dangerously clumsy I see. I thought being with us might've given you a sense of balance but, no, still red-faced as ever." He smiled down at me and let me go. I stumbled my way into the kitchen.

As I gazed into Bella's eyes I saw something. I didn't know what it was but my emotions were going crazy from touching her. There was a spark of longing in my heart as I stared at her. Finally I let her go and she stumbled downstairs with human clumsiness. God Jasper, that was real smooth I thought as I went upstairs to grab my books for school. No, you are not falling for Bella; you are happily married to Alice. Still, it was strange. Alice had seemed distant lately. Maybe she was upset about something. Oh well, I thought.

I was still embarrassed by the incident when I plopped down in a chair at the kitchen table. Esme walked in with a plate piled high with bacon and eggs and placed it on the table in front of me.

"Thanks Esme, but you really don't have to do that." I said smiling. It smelt wonderful.

"Nonsense Bella, I enjoy doing these things for you!" She exclaimed as six other vampires walked into the kitchen.

"But mommy, you never cook food for me!" Emmett whined teasingly.

"Well Emmett, you can have some if you want" She teased back.

"Err, I think I'll pass." Emmett replied, looking worried that he might be forced to eat the food. His expression was so funny everyone in the room laughed. They all stood around waiting for me to finish so we could drive to school.

"Well, bye everyone, I'm off to work" he smiled, pulling Esme in for a passionate kiss. Emmett cleared his throat loudly.

"Get a room!" Rose said, clearly annoyed. Carlisle pulled back. He grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry" he said as he walked out the door; Esme looking on with a dreamy expression. By now I had finished my breakfast and was washing the dish in the sink when Esme came up behind me and took the dish and finished off.

"Thanks" I smiled gratefully and grabbed my bag.

"Bye mom, love you!" we all said but at different times. Esme beamed. She loved it when we called her mom.

"Bye, I love you too! Have fun" she said as we walked out.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright, everybody in. Edward, you can drive-" Emmett said as he threw Edward the keys "-and me and Bella are gonna ride up the back.

"Cool!" we were going to be riding in Emmett's jeep which could hold two people in the front seats, two in the middle and a few in the back/open bed kind of part. –Sorry, Emmett has a new jeep because I wanted the all in the same car! - Emmett boosted me up and we all got in. The ride to school was crazy. People stared as we drove along with Emmett and me in the back arguing with each other, all the windows of the jeep down with loud music beating out and all of the vampires singing and shouting. It was so funny when we pulled into the school parking lot. Everyone was watching and staring as we parked and turned off the car. We were all talking as Emmett picked me up and literally threw me down to Edward- who caught me!- and then jumped down himself. I put my lips up to Edward's and kissed him but he looked strange so I pulled back.

"Are you okay?" I said, as he placed me on the ground.

"Of course. Come on lets go before the bell rings." He said in his musical voice. All six of us walked through the doors in a long line with Rose and Emmett in the middle, Alice and Jasper to one side and me and Edward on the other side.

"Well, bye guys!" I said and hugged all of them. "I'll see you at lunch!" I walked into my classroom as the bell rang.

All the classes dragged. I wanted to see my family again and I was getting hungry. Finally, the bell rang for lunch.

"Yes!" I jumped up and ran, tripping a few times, but, I finally made it to the cafeteria. My face fell as I looked towards our table. Edward wasn't there, and neither was Alice. I walked over and Jasper must have sensed my confusion because he said:

"They had to go hunting. They were getting quite thirsty and really needed it so they left. Don't worry darlin', you'll see them when we get home." He smiled. My breath caught in my throat and my heart sped up. I had never really noticed how good looking Jasper was, or his slightly southern accent; especially when he said darlin'! Keep it together Bella; he can feel your emotions! I thought to myself. Embarrassed, I plopped down on the chair next to him and Rosalie. Rosalie scowled. She still didn't like me very much.

"Rose" Emmett warned, and then kissed her. She relaxed her tense posture and closed her eyes.

"So Bella, do you feel like ditching for the rest of the day?" Emmett asked.

"Yeah, why not? May as well. But can we stop by the hospital? I need to ask Carlisle something." I asked.

"Sure Bella" Jasper replied.

"Thanks Jazz" I smiled.

"Well then let's go! Stop wasting time!" Rose said, sounding annoyed. We all got up and walked out to the parking lot. Emmett got in the drivers seat with Rosalie next to him while Jazz and I got in the back. Emmett sped off before anyone could notice our disappearance. As we pulled into the parking lot at the hospital I told them all to wait there while I went inside and spoke to Carlisle. They started to protest but I told them I needed to speak to him alone.

"Thanks" I said as I got out of the car and walked into the hospital. When I went in I saw Carlisle standing over at the nurses' station talking to some of the nurses.

"Hey dad!" I called out and ran up to him and hugged him.

"Hey Bella! What are you doing here? Where are the others?" Carlisle asked, clearly confused.

"Emmett, Rose and Jasper are waiting in the car. Edward and Alice left to go hunting. I came because I needed to talk to you. Is that okay?" I asked.

"Sure Bella. Please excuse me for a moment." he said to the nurses; flashing them a smile. They practically melted in his presence. "So Bella, what do you need?"

"Well, I was wondering if you had noticed Edward acting strange lately. He seems distant. We don't seem as close as we used to be. Maybe you could help me?"

"I have noticed Edward acting strange. Maybe he just needs a break from his family for a while? I don't really know. I'm sorry that I can't really help you. If I could I would." Carlisle apologised.

"No it's alright dad, you tried. Thanks for trying. Well, I have to go; the others are waiting. Bye, I love you" I said, kissing his cheek then ran off.

"I'll see you at home in about an hour, Bella" he called out.

"Thanks!" I hollered back.

"Wow Bella, that was quick!" Emmett said

"Yeah, I didn't want to keep you waiting. Carlisle didn't really have an answer for me anyway." I replied

"May I ask what you asked him?" Jasper questioned

"Hmmm, I guess so Jazz. I asked him if he had noticed Edward's strange behaviour towards me. He had seen it, but he didn't know the cause. So yeah that's pretty much it" I shrugged. We drove home in silence. As we pulled up to the Cullen house I had a strange feeling something bad would happen. If only I knew.
