Chapter One

Edward Cullen.

I'd kept up my huge grin till we'd gotten there.

"Holy shit." I muttered as I stepped foot down on the dried up earth.

"You can say that again." Jasper murmured quietly as he stepped off the bus that'd driven us to our location as we'd gotten off the plane. Even in the darkness you could see the mess that was made after the earthquake had hit. The buildings that had collapsed had left dust, you could smell it and you were practically breathing it all in.

They'd shown us around, told us our duties, told us we'd be working on an unpredictable timetable, then told us to get some rest.

Ten minute's after we'd been woken we had immediately gotten to work. Helping free trapped people. It was difficult. Between breathing in dust and sweating like a pig, you'd feel like you were about to faint, buy you knew you couldn't. It was your duty to represent your country and not be weak.

Jasper and I had both been 'partnered up' as it were. Meant to help each other out, but we'd both gotten on fine. Both of us didn't like asking for help, but would help other people in a sticky situation. It was just the way we worked. It was how we could understand each other, and how we ended up meeting and befriending each other. Though I don't know how Emmett fitted into the equation of the three of us being best friends.

I guess Jasper could calm down Emmett, and they both knew how to throw a good punch. Even if Emmett was lacking in the brain department he certainly wasn't in the muscle department. The guy was a monster, you'd shit yourself if he had a personality to go with it. But it was the complete opposite. He was like a spoilt little kid. You'd only have to see his ridiculous shit eating grin to know it.

I cocked my head sideways checking out a ladies, who was probably a volunteer, gift from god. She had one fine backside. I had to resist the urge to go up to it and smack it.

"Checking out the eye candy?" Jasper teased, nudging me.

I scowled focusing my attention else where. "Shut the hell up."

"I think someone needs a cigarette breakkkk" He mocked, poking me in the ribs. "Someone's getting a little grouchyyyyy." Jazz taunted.

Jazz chuckled, waving to our dad as we walked past him.

"Hey dad."

"Hi son." My dad smiled back with a wave.

Jazz pushed me. "Daddy's boy."

"Jealous much?"

"Of course, who wouldn't be." He said in a sarcastic teasing manner.

I rolled my eyes. "Just remember who's sister your marrying this summer, wouldn't you hate to lose your dick before your honeymoon?"

"OK OK, I'm sorry." Jasper said in mock terror. "But seriously, answer this, how comes your sister is so much nicer?"

I scowled pushing him back playfully.

Bella Swan.

The first night was weird. And I think both Ben and I didn't get as much sleep as we'd of liked, but at least we weren't bitten to death from mosquitoes, the tents

"This is like scouts." Ben grinned stretching as he woke up. "Excepts

I smirked at him. "Just get your fat ass up. We aren't being paid to talk about how much you enjoyed your scout bum boy days."

Ben rolled his eyes smirking. "I don't know how I put up with you."

"Because I'm the only nice one at work."

He nudged my shoulder with his hand. "No. The big guy that pays us is."

I snorted. "At least your money goes towards something that's worth it."

Ben grinned. "I want to be able to get my girl what she wants when she wants it."

"Ang appreciates the little things in life, Ben."

"I know." He smiled. "But a gift will still put a smile on her face."

I laughed. "I wish I had a boyfriend like you." I tapped my chin thoughtfully. "I could just kidnap you now."

"Try it."
I laughed again. "I'll admit it, I'm jealous of Angela though. Jake never does anything like that for me."

"Jacobs no good for you." Ben spoke clearly after a while looking me in the eye. "Angela agree's with me. You should just leave him Bells, move in with us."

I pulled off my socks I'd slept in, putting on a new pair. "I can't do that to him."

"Can't or won't?" He asked. "Or are you being held back by him?"

"Ben." I warned.

"I'm always here to talk." He smiled. "So's Angela, that oaf can wait."

"Bye Ben." I smirked leaving him behind.

I knew Ben was right, but I couldn't bring myself to stand the fit Jake would through if he found out about half the stuff I couldn't stand about him.... it was easier to say nothing and make him happy. As long as Jake was happy, I'd have to deal with less shit from him.
