Title: Now and Forever

Rating: M (because of possible lemons, language, and violence)

Summary: The Swan family has moved back to Forks, WA thinking it would be a quiet senior year for Bella. But when Bella goes grocery shopping, a seemingly simple task, she meets Edward, her vampire mate and things are suddenly not so simple anymore.

Notes: -My vampires are similar to S.M.'s vampires but there are some differences.

-Bella is a bit OOC as this is whole story is AU.

"Bells, would you mind going to get some groceries so we can have something for dinner?" Renee Swan called up the stairs to her seventeen year old daughter who had been holed up in her room all day.

Isabella Swan, better known as Bella, sighed and closed Wuthering Heights before opening the door to her bedroom.

"Yeah, Mom, no problem!" She yelled back before slipping on her shoes and grabbing her wallet. She jogged down the stairs, her long brown hair floating behind her. "What do you need me to get?" Bella asked as she entered the kitchen to see her mother writing out a list.

"Just a couple of things. You remember how to get to the store, right?" Renee asked and Bella nodded her head.

"We have been here for three weeks, Mom. I think I can find the store. I have been the only one to go there, after all." Bella rolled her eyes and her mother grinned at her daughter without shame.

"You know we appreciate it, darling." Renee said, her hazel eyes sparkling as they met her daughter's dark brown ones.

"Yeah, yeah." Bella smiled and reached for the list. "I'll be back in a bit."

She walked out of the house, hearing the TV on in the living room and knew her father as watching some game. It was the weekend after all.

The Swan family had just moved to Forks, Washington. Well, had just moved back to it. They had lived there when Bella was just a baby but Renee had started getting restless being in such a small town. Her parents talked it over, agreed to move to Los Angeles to try to the big city life together as they didn't want to ruin her life with them divorced and things worked out in Los Angeles. Her mother started teaching, while taking random classes every other month and her father kept his job as a police officer.

But then the summer before Bella's senior year, Charlie had got a call from an old friend in Forks asking if he'd be interested in the Chief of Police position and after talking with Renee and Bella, they agreed that at least for Bella's senior year they'd go to Forks and had moved back a few weeks later. Bella hadn't had that many friends in LA, having been more of a loner, preferring her books but she did miss her two closer friends Alex and Casey. They agreed to keep in touch through Skype and fun mail.

She thought she'd hate being in such a small town but the quiet and nature was nice. Bella thought it was a nice change from the city. Even her hectic mother was calmed a little bit. Though, her mother was still signing up for classes in Port Angeles, currently she was doing a Zumba class.

Bella sighed as she pulled her black 2003 Cadillac into the parking lot of the grocery store. A nice looking Volvo caught her eye and she shrugged before making her way inside, glancing over the list. She winced. It seemed her mother was experimenting again. She would have to buy something good for dessert. She grabbed a cart and slowly made her way through the store, grabbing what she needed.

She was trying to grab some flavored water off of the top shelf, stretching her short body as far as she could when she happened to glance over her shoulder and saw two of the most beautiful people ever. The woman had caramel colored hair that was curled gently to rest on her shoulders, her skin was pale and she was dressed in expensive clothing. She was shorter, but still taller than Bella.

But the guy next to the woman had Bella falling back to her flat feet. He was pretty tall, over six feet for sure. His hair was an interesting color, an odd bronze color and he was pale as well. He was defined, his muscles filling out his shirt but not overly so. And then he turned his head and their eyes met. His were a startling green color that seemed to darken when they met hers. Bella sucked in a breath as pain exploded in her chest. She fell forward, closing her eyes for the impact but then hard, strong arms were around her and her head was rested on a chest. A nose was pressed into her hair and she heard him inhale. She took another breath and the pain slowly went away. She looked up to see the guy with the green eyes holding her, a dark look in his eyes. A possessive one.

"W-what? You were too far to catch me…" Bella whispered, not knowing what was going on. The guy tightened his grip on her and she rested her hands on his arms naturally. She glanced at them, bewildered. Why did all this feel normal? Good? Why did she want to rest her head on his chest and just let him hold her?

"I can't believe I've finally found you." The guy said, his voice slightly deep. Masculine. A smile then spread across his face and she blinked a few times. God, he was beautiful. Guys weren't supposed to be beautiful. But he was.

"What do you mean?" Bella asked, frowning. The guy leaned down—and he had to lean quite a bit as her head only reached to the middle of his chest—and brushed his nose along her neck, a soft rumble escaping him. It wasn't normal, impossible for another human being to purr but it was comforting, relaxing and Bella found herself melting into his arms, her head tilting to the side.

"Edward." A female voice said sternly and the guy, Edward, froze for a minute before standing up straight, never letting Bella go. Bella looked over to see the woman with the caramel colored hair standing next to them looking down the aisle past them. "Not here, son. You need to explain everything to her."

Edward and Bella looked down the aisle as well to see some girl with long, pale blonde hair staring with wide eyes, texting on her phone.

"Right, home then." Edward said with a nod.

"Wait, what?" Bella asked, trying to make sense of what was going on. Shouldn't she be freaking out right now?

"Oh, dear. I'm Esme, Edward's mother. It's so good to meet you. What's your name?" The woman held out a hand but Edward growled and Bella jumped, looking at him with wide eyes. "Edward!" The woman snapped. "You're scaring her."

"I'm sorry, love." Edward whispered in her ear, his breath tickling her ear in a way that made her want to squirm.

"Your name, dear?" The woman, Esme, seemed concerned for her.

"B-Bella." She managed to get out.

"Beautiful." Edward muttered with a nod and she glanced at him as she swallowed.

What was going on?

"Right then, we need to go so everything can be explained." Esme said with a smile and placed a hand on Bella's arm. Edward let out another rumble and Bella looked up with wide eyes to see two fangs click down and his eyes go black. She heard Esme call her name as everything went black.
