I can't believe I'm actually going to do this. I can't believe I'm taking her their. I wonder what she could be hiding from me. Does she secretly have a boyfriend? Get a grip. She would tell you if she did. It's probably just nothing. I'm telling her. I have to tell her that I love her. This may be my only chance.

"Hey Edward!" I turned around to be met by the love of my life, Bella. She is so beautiful, even if she doesn't realize it. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever met.

"Hello, love." I always called her that. I'm glad she doesn't mind.

"So, where are we going this afternoon?" She asked as we were walking to our seats in biology.

"It's a secret, love; my secret place. I've never shown anyone else before."

"Are you serious?"

"Ye-"

"Quiet down now class!" I heard our teacher shout. After class, Bella was whisked away by Alice and now I won't get to see her until after the game.

As the day continued on, I couldn't help but think the world hated me. The clock ticked by so slowly. I would look at it, and then the next time I would look only two minutes had passed. I wish school would just be over already!

I hurried to my car to meet Bella when the bell rang, signaling the end of school. This would be my last actual week that we could hang out for a while. Softball was starting and that is everyday after school. I loved watching her play though. She was a great short stop and she was the best one when she was hitting. Not that I'm biased or anything.

"Edward!" The sudden noise pulled me out of my train of thought. As I looked around, I could see that everybody had already left for the game.

I couldn't wait for tonight. Not only was Edward taking me somewhere but I also get to play my first softball game. I am so excited! I love him so much, but he doesn't seem to notice. That's okay, though. At least I get to hang out with him...

*The beginning of the softball game.*

"We're batting first. Lineup is Swan; Short Stop, Webber; 3rd base, Hale; Right Field, Brandon; Pitcher, Clearwater; Catcher, Denali; 2nd Base, Marshall; Left Field, Smith, Taylor, Thompson; 1st Base, and Rodriguez;Center Field . Any questions?" Coach asked.

"I have a question." I said with a smirk on my face.

"What Swan?"

"WHO ARE WE?" I yelled as loud as I could, which is really, really, loud.

"SPARTANS!"

"WHO ARE WE?"

"SPARTANS!"

"WHO ARE WE?

"SPARTANS!"

"SPARTANS ON 3. 1...2...3..."

"SPARTANS!!!"

"She is our lead off batter. Da da da dada. She can hit, we know she can hit, cause she's our lead off batter. Da da da dada. She can run, we know she can run, cause she's our lead off batter. Da da da dada. L-E-L-E-A-L-E-A-D-O-F-F. Lead off, lead off, lead off, we want a single. L-E-L-E-A-L-E-A-D-O-F-F. Lead off lead off lead off we want a double. L-E-L-E-A-L-E-A-D-O-F-F. Lead off lead off lead off we want a triple. H-O-H-O-M-H-O-M-E-R-U-N. Home run *clap, clap* Bella *clap, clap* Home run *clap, clap* Bella."

I heard the lead off cheer my teammates were yelling from the bench. I loved hearing the support from my team every time I got up to bat. I would do so much better knowing that they wanted me to do my best.

"Ball 1!" I heard the umpire yell.

It didn't matter if it was a ball or a strike. If it wasn't a really good pitch I could hit easily, I always let the first one go. Second pitch, was a different story.

As soon as it came close, I smacked it with my bat. The ball was on its way to the back part of center field. As soon as it connected, I ran like my life depended on it.

*Fast forward to last inning*

It was my turn up at bat. 1 out. Bases loaded. The faster players on our team were on base. I was so glad. The score was 10-7 us, but they get last bats. It was all up to me. If I got a home run, we would have 14 and they would have to get 7 just to tie us. I could hear my teammates cheering me on, praying that I get the 3 RBIs and hopefully a home run. I was stressed, and nervous. Most people would bet money that I would choke when I get like that. I'm going to prove them (and myself) wrong. I took a couple practice swings before stepping in the batters box. I took 3 deep breaths, and held my bat up, ready to swing.

I debated slapping it, but I could hit it farther if I didn't. I had hit 10 foul balls, and I could tell the pitcher was getting frustrated. It was full count,3-2, and I had to hit it. I wouldn't take a walk...that's for wimps. Another 5 foul balls later and the pitcher had been getting sloppy. She a lazy one right down the center of the plate and with a smack, the ball went back to the wall. We had to sprint the whole time it they wanted me to get home. As I rounded 2nd, I saw the ball coming towards the infield. I wouldn't make it home. I knew that I wouldn't. I did a dive slide into 3rd base. I got up, feeling a tingling feeling in my leg, but shook it off, thinking that it was just a hard spot in the dirt. Webber found a hole and ran with it, getting me in. Unfortunately, Rosalie and Alice ended up getting out. Alice pitched a perfect inning...3 up, 3 down. The final score was 14-7 Spartans.

I was limping on my leg when we shook hands at the end of the game.

"Bella. Great game!" I herd a voice say to me as a pair of arms encircled my waist.

"Thank you!" I said as I turned around to give him a hug.

"Are you ready to go now love?"

"Coach! Can we leave now?"

"Sure thing Bella...Great game everybody. I'll see you at practice tomorrow." He told all of us.

"Alice. Take the car home for me?"

"Sure thing Bella. You kids have fun."

"Now I'm ready." I told him as I grabbed my bag.

"Thats good."

"I can't wait to see where your secret hideout is."

"It's not a hideout love. It's just a place for me to relax and block the world out."

"I'm calling it a hideout. How long will it take to get there?" I saw her reach forward to turn on the radio. I laughed.

"Not to long. We will park the car in about 10 minutes."

As I parked the car on the side of the road I heard her say...

"This is it?" I could tell she wasn't too impressed.

"No love, we have to walk from here."

"Crap." I heard her say under her breath. I looked down at her and saw what she was looking at. Her left pant leg was turning a dark reddish color. The color of blood.

"Don't worry." I told her," I have a first aid kit there."

"That's good...Now how am I going to get there?"

I picked her up bridal style and started to carry her up the "path."

"Edward! What are you doing???"

"I don't want you to get hurt. Just relax and you will be fine." As I said this, I could feel that this was right. She was my missing puzzle piece. She fit in my arms perfectly, like they were made for each other. She wrapped her arms around my neck and sighed as she laid her head on my shoulder.

I herd her gasp. "Edward. Is this it?"
I nodded.

"It's beautiful." I could tell she was in awe.

"Now you know why I come here to think. It's so peaceful and quiet."

As I was taking in the beautiful scenery around me, I noticed something in the middle.

"Edward, what is that?"
