A.J.'s POV (and yes A.J. is her nickname for Anna Jackson)

Beep Beep Was that a car horn? I thought I as dragged my self out of bed and made my way downstairs. It's 8:00, on July 30th, its not a holiday and it's not like I made plans with anyone...I thought to myself, so why is someone trying to wake me up this early? I questioned as I went downstairs. I had just moved to Forks, and the only people I knew were my dad, my next door neighbor Bella and my best friend Steven who moved here a 2 months before me and I hadn't heard from him since he left our hometown.I walked outside to see a brand new black BMW sitting in my driveway.

"What the hell?" I said annoyed.

"I just thought I would stop in and say hi to my best friend" someone said from behind me.

"Steven!" I screamed as turned around and hugged him tightly "I thought I was never gonna see you again...I mean seriously what took you so long?"I said teasingly "I've been in Forks almost a week"

"You haven't changed a bit" He laughed as he took a step back to see if I had changed at all.

I automatically blushed knowing that I was still in my shorts and tank top I wore to bed last night. Not to mention, my make-up wasn't done, although I doubted Steven would notice, since I don't wear much. So, instead of just standing there, I decided to see if he had changed, and he had.... a lot. His beautiful blue/green eyes were now a warm shade of honey. His skin was paler than I had ever seen him and he was even more absolutely amazing looking than the last time I remembered...maybe it was his new muscles showing through his T-shirt.

"Wow" I said looking back into his eyes "Steve, you look...." I paused trying to find the right word "you look great"

"I have to say the same about you A.J." he replied smiling.

I hugged him again "I missed you Steven" I mumbled into his chest.

"I missed you too" He replied in an almost musical tone.

We stayed like that for what felt like a long time, but was probably just seconds before a silver Volvo pulled into the driveway next door. Bella jumped out and ran over.

"A.J.!!!" She yelled before giving me a hug "I didn't know you knew Steven?" She said a bit confused.

"Know Steve" I laughed "Remember how I told you my best friend moved here a couple months ago...." I waited for her to catch on.

"OMG Steven is the best friend you were talking about" She exclaimed smiling.

Steve suddenly spoke up from behind me "A.J. there is someone I want you to meet...this is my one of my new foster brothers"

"And my husband" Bella cut in smiling from ear to ear. I automatically knew that his name was Edward. My father had mumbled for weeks about how he thought Bella was too young to get married, but he was Charlie's friend, so he said kept his opinions to himself.

I looked in the direction they both turned to and saw an extremely hot guy walking towards us. I quickly noticed he was pale skinned and had honey colored eyes, a lot like Bella's and Steve's....That's odd I thought to myself. Edward walked over and shook my hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you A.J." he said smiling "I've heard so much about you"

"Well I wish I could say the same" I replied smiling back "But, Bella failed to mention to me that she had a Greek god for a husband"

Edward, Bella, and Steve all laughed. I smiled, I felt so comfortable around them. "Hey, do you guys wanna come in?" I asked after a little while.

"Sure" Steven replied walking in first, then looking around the corner into the living room, as if looking for something "Hey John, where are you?" he yelled down the hallway after we were all inside.

I laughed "Dad isn't here, he's not coming for another two weeks" I smiled, remembering how much my dad liked Steven.

"Aww what a shame, the first football game of the pre-season is on this Sunday" Steven said smiling "Now who will I watch it with?"

"Shut up Steve, you know I always watch the games with you" I said smiling and rolling my eyes.

"So, what did I miss back home?" Steven asked flopping down on my couch as if it were his own. "How's Nick doing?" He said smiling cause he knew that would get a reaction out of me.

"I haven't talked to Nick in a month" I said snapped sharply. Steve knew my ex boyfriend Nick was still obsessing over me, and he found it funny how mad I would get when he said Nick was my boyfriend. Sometimes Steve would act like my big brother and protect me, and other times, like right now for example,it was like having an annoying little brother always hanging around.

"Ouch what could Nick have done to get the cold shoulder, I mean thats a pretty harsh punishment A.J." he said with a smirk "Even for you"

"Shut up, you know he's my EX boyfriend" I said as I punched his shoulder lightly. "Ouch, Steve you are like rock solid" I said laughing.

"Yup" he said flexing "I've been working out with Emmett"

"Who's Emmett?" I asked confused.

"He's one of my other brothers" Steven said smiling "Hey, you should come over later and meet the rest of the family?" he suggested.

"Sure, but can I go get dressed and showered first?" I asked "It's already 11 o'clock and I'm still in my pajamas" I said surprised at how long we had been talking "Unless, you want your family thinking I'm a hobo"

"As long as you smell good they won't mind" Steven said smirking at Bella and Edward. They all smiled like there was some inside joke I was missing.

"I'll drive you over in a couple hours" Bella offered after their little joke was over, and everyone got up to leave.

"Ok, I guess I'll see you guys later" I said as they we were walking down my front steps. Then, I ran upstairs to get ready.

*LATER*

Bella had picked me up around 3 o'clock. When we arrived, I stared at the huge glass house, wondering how anyone could afford a house like that. I walked into the Cullen's home only to be greeted by a small group of beautiful people. Crap, even on my best day, and their worst days I would still look like hobo standing next to any of them I thought in my head as I realized how breathtakingly beautiful each of them really was.

"Your beautiful, too" Steve whispered in my ear, as if he knew what I was thinking "Trust me, I've seen you before" he said smiling "Why else do you think your dad hired me to go around hitting guys with a baseball bat if they even looked at you" he laughed almost silently "How do you think my baseball bat got all those dents?"

I smiled "Thanks Steve" I whispered. This was one of his big brother moments, where he knew exactly what to say.

A tall, beautiful girl smiled and introduced herself first "Hi I'm Rosalie" she said politely.

"And I'm Emmett, her husband" said the rather large, muscular looking guy next to her.

I glanced over at Steve "So that's the brother you work out with?" I said laughing. I turned towards Emmett and smiled "Thank god someone finally got Steve off the couch" Emmett laughed, which practically shook the whole house.

Next, the man in a doctor's uniform spoke "I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife Esme, we are the parents" he said smiling.

"It's so nice to meet you" Esme Cullen said, giving me a hug.

"It's very nice to meet all of you" I said looking around at all the faces in the room.

There was Steven, Edward, Bella, Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme. Suddenly a small pixie like girl walked into the living room from the kitchen. She walked over to Steven and gave him a hug.

"A.J." he said smiling "This is my new girlfriend, Alice" His face lit up when he said her name and I smiled. Finally he'll stop being a player I thought to myself slyly, It took him long enough.

"It's so nice to finally meet you" she said smiling "I've heard some really interesting stories about you from Steven"

"Oh really?" I said slightly embarrassed and shot a look at Steve, who just smiled down at his feet "Well it's very nice to meet you too, Alice" I said smiling back at her. I decided to change the subject hoping Steve hadn't told her too many embarrassing stories. "Well Steve" I said smiling and looking around the room "you have quite a large family now."

"Wait, you haven't even met Jasper yet" he said.

Just then the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen walked down the stairs and into the room. He looked like he must have been only a year older than Steven, which would make him 19, and that was only 2 years older than me. Two years isn't that much older I thought to myself, smiling. I looked at him closely and realized, his hair was sandy blonde, his muscles were clearly defined through his thin sweater, and his smile made me melt. Stay calm Anna, this is just Steven's extremely gorgeous new foster brother, you don't even know if he's single I told myself.

"Hello I'm Jasper" he said giving me a crooked smirk and shaking my hand "And you must be A.J."

I smiled and tried unsuccessfully not to blush "Ya, and let me guess, you've heard so much about me from Steve" I laughed nervously.

"Not that much" he replied, with a wink.

I blushed even more, hoping no one would notice.

Alice spoke up "Oh wow it sure is getting late, A.J. shouldn't you be getting home to unpack" I saw Steve give her a confused look, and I was sure I wasn't the only one who heard a sliver of rudeness, almost jealousy in her voice. I didn't want to leave, but I knew I should, before Alice got upset.

"Actually I should be leaving" I replied quickly "Besides, being in a house full of vampires probably isn't the best idea" I said jokingly, and turned to walk towards the door, but Edward was standing in front of me in two seconds, giving me one of those looks like 'you aren't going anywhere'. I sighed, I knew I wouldn't get out of here without explaining first, but when I turned back around I saw...
