Chapter 1

"Bye Dad, I love you." I said to my father before I boarded the flight.

"I love you to Bells." He said, trying to hold back how sad he was. "Have a good flight and call me when you are in Phoenix and also, tell Renee I say hi and don't talk to strangers!"

"Charlie, I'm seventeen. Get a grip. I'll visit again soon."

"I know. I'll miss you so much."

"And I'll miss you too." I said as I gave him one last hug and running onto the flight with my light carry on.

I was done visiting for two weeks and Charlie's place in Forks Washington and was on my way to the sunny days of Arizona for the rest of the summer, school year and be back at my dad's next summer. That was the routine.

After I stepped off the plane and grabbed my light luggage, I saw my mom standing at the doorways with her arms wide open.

"Mom!" I exclaimed. She was my best friend.

"Bella! How was it?"

"Good. I cooked everyday I was there." I joked.

Then I noticed something. Beside my mom was a young man with bronze hair and stunning emerald green eyes with his hand around my mom's waist.

"Who's this?" I asked.

"This is Edward, my boyfriend."

"What is he, my age?"

"Twenty-four. I met him at the supermarket and he asked me on a date and we've been hanging out ever since."

"And doing other things..." I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that?" Renee asked.

"Nothing."

He stuck out his firm pale hand. "Pleased to meet you. I've heard so many good things."

I grabbed his hand and shook it then let it go. "The pleasure is all mine." I said sarcastically."

"Bella," my mom said sternly "be nice."

"Sure." I whispered.

Once we were in the car, Edward took my front seat and I had to sit in the back with the luggage.

"So, what's on the Agenda tonight?" My mom asked.

"Alice and Rose are taking me to Jessica's party, remember? It's her birthday."

"Oh right! I forgot. Have you gotten a gift?"

"I bought her one in Forks." I murmured.

"I'm sure it's lovely." She chimed. "What time's it at?"

"Nine."

"End?"

"Whenever."

"I'll let it slide when it's the break but let me know when you are on your way home."

"Don't I always?"

"True." She agreed. "I just wanted to remind you, that's all."

"Are you even going to pick up? I mean, won't you be busy doing...other things?"

"Bella, behave."

"I am. I was just asking a question."

She nodded and let it slide.

We arrived in front of my house and without another word, I took my luggage and ran into my room.

"She's mad..." I heard my mom tell Edward.

I suspect that my mom was about to talk to my door because I heard Edward stop her.

"Allow me." He murmured.

Are you kidding me?

My door creaked open and there stood Edward in all his love and glory.

"What do you want?"

"I just came to make amends. I me no harm."

"Your not right for her." I told him.

"Maybe from your eyes." He said inching closer to my bed.

"Stay there." I demanded but he came and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Bella, I have real feeling for your mother and I would never want to harm her."

"You say that now but soon some younger chick with big boobs is gunna walk by and that'll be the end of it, won't it?"

He shook his head, no.

"Yes it will." I disagreed.

"I do care for her whether you like it or not."

"So now your threatening me? Renee will love that."

"Bella, I'm trying to make amends."

I rolled my eyes.

"You don't have to like me."

"I don't."

"And you have made that perfectly clear but can you please pretend to like me, for you're mom."

"For my mom, never for you." I admitted. That was the truth.

"I can deal with that. Now come on, dinner time."

"I'm having dinner at the party."

"And by dinner you mean beer?"

"Not too bad but I don't drink beer."

"But you do drink?"

"I won't lie."

"I wonder how your mother would like that..."

"You wouldn't dare..."

"How about we make a compromise?"

"What?"

"I won't tell your mother about the drinking and you be nice to me when I'm around...every single time."

I stuck out my hand. "Deal."

He shook it and then walked out of my room.

Ass whole.
