Fanfiction

Enjoy!

But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me.

-You've got a friend in me, Randy Newman

"Is he nearly here?" I shrieked in excitement as I ran into the Cullen house.

"He's on his way! He should be in Forks by now, but, honey, you need to calm down you're acting like you're thirteen rather than twenty-three!" Esme replied, just as excited, as she finished tidying the living room.

I sighed.

Edward, my best friend, was coming home today.

It's been two years since I've seen him last. We missed each other dreadfully, but the separation was inevitable, and we both knew it. He went to study marketing and business up in Alaska and then opened his own advertising company, while I stayed in Forks, and instead, went to the local community college to study journalism. I'm now the editor of the 'Seattle times'. It's not exactly the most exciting job, but it pays the bills...

Edward came home every Christmas, but that was it. Otherwise, Edward and I kept in contact through emails, phone calls, and sometimes-just for the fun of it- we would send each other goofy postcards.

He was finally finished for the summer, and was staying- taking turns staying with his parents and my apartment- for the three months.

I've missed him so much- and just the thought of seeing him in the flesh thrilled me.

Edward and I have been best friends since we were in diapers. Charlie-my dad- decided to bring me ice-skating in the local park at Christmas time, where we met Carlisle and Esme- who were knew in town at the time-with their son Edward. We played in the snow together for hours and were inseparable since.

Throughout high school, Edward was always there for me. I often got bullied by other girls in our grade, they were jealous of mine and Edwards friendship, and Edward didn't really date. He always stuck up for me when they called me nasty names, he would listen to me, hold my hand, stroke my hair and hum me to sleep when I was upset or stressed. He protected me from boys who wanted to take advantage of me, he brought me chocolate ice-cream when I got my first period-claiming that he knew exactly what he was talking about, since he was going to become a doctor someday ( well that's what he thought at the time, now he's the C.E.O of his own company.) He held me when my first boyfriend broke-up with me. He was like a brother to me, and I loved him for it.

We had tonnes in common, which is one of the many reasons we have stayed friends for so long. We're both big music fans. Edward's amazingly talented at piano and guitar. When we were in the fourth grade he taught me how to play, I've played ever since, sometimes singing. We both love good old classic rock, collecting as many band t-shirts as we can. But Edward and I are officially the biggest Kings of Leon fans there are! Edward gave me their album for my thirteenth birthday and we've been frenzied ever since.

Often, Edward would drive us into Port Angeles to go to the local library. We would spend hours sitting in the back corner reading each other quotes and enjoying the others company.

The sound of wheels crunching the gravel in the driveway pulled me from my thoughts.

That could only mean one thing.

"ESME! CARLISLE!" I screamed with enthusiasm as I ran out the front door, nearly tripping in my haste.

He was just getting out of his car when I saw him. From what I could see, he was taller, and more...muscular? His messy bronze hair was still perfectly dishevelled. He had form fitting jeans and a dark gray sweater with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows.

I barrelled to him as quickly as my feet would carry me and-when I was close enough- hopped onto his back, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"You're home!" I squealed the obvious.

"Bella!" he cheered in surprise.

He brought his arms around his back and pulled me around to face him. Our faces were inches apart when I really saw him.

His features were less boyish, more straight and angular. He had a strong jaw with slight stubble. His eyes were like emeralds, gazing back into mine with what could only be happiness. His perfect full lips were turned up into a dazzling smile.

He was beautiful.

Was he always this beautiful? Or did I just never notice? Or maybe the separation was going to my head, I wasn't thinking straight. I never thought of Edward as anything more than a brother. But looking at this angelic man in front of me now...I wasn't exactly having appropriate, sister worthy thoughts about him.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me into a tight hug. He buried his face in my hair and inhaled. His arms wrapped around me sent pleasant shivers down my spine-a reaction I never got before this moment. I couldn't help but sigh into his chest.

"I've missed you so fucking much Bella" he said quietly, "How have you been? How's your job?" he asked, still not releasing me.

"I've been okay, my jobs fine, well as fine as it can be-working for the local newspaper- my boss is an asshole. But I really missed you too" I admitted quietly.

He held me a bit tighter.

I felt something different between us. A good different. Better even. I never candidly realised how much I missed him until now.

"Well I'm here for the whole Summer, and we can do whatever you want" he said brightly.

"Sounds perfect! I have so much planned-" I smiled up at him.

However, our wonderfully, sentimental reunion was cut short by a nasally voice. I cringed at the sound.

"Eddie! Carry my bags inside, I want to-oh" she cut herself off "who's this?" she asked.

I reluctantly pulled away from Edwards comforting embrace and turned to face the woman.

She was gorgeous. I mean, model worthy, gorgeous. Tall, blonde, long legs, big boobs, curves in all the right places, and a face that would put angels to shame. My self esteem dropped by a hundred points just looking at her.

I turned toward her-curious as to who she was and, more importantly, why she was asking Edward to be her bell-boy.

"His name is Edward, he hates when anyone calls him Eddie" I said belligerently "Who are you?" I asked, trying to be as polite as possible.

"Oh Eddie! Didn't you tell her about me?" she asked him, ignoring my statement.

"Tell me what?" I asked, looking at Edward for an explanation.

He looked rather sheepish. He smiled at me slightly, with a hint of worry in his beautiful eyes, before walking over to me and placing a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"Bella, this is Tanya, my girlfriend."

Oh hell no.

What's your favourite band? Just curious...

Anyway hope you guys liked it, Review if you'd like me to continue
