Hi guys, thanks to everyone who gave this story a shot and reviewed!
Sorry for not updating, things have been hectic for us.

Chapter 2: He's a brother?
Bella Pov.
The alarm woke me way too early again. I was currently living in a motel, someplace cheep. Because I was just out of College, I wasn't that wealthy, the most expensive thing I owned was my car, and that was a gift from my parents. I actually didn't like it that much, give me a nice red rusted Chevy any day.
My phone started to buzz I flipped it open and saw Mum on the display screen. Great, mum has been bothering me about getting an apartment or asking me to come back home to Forks, a small rainy town in Washington.
"Hi mum,"
"Hey Bella sweetheart, how was your first day?" she asked cheerily, she was always happy, but 6:30 in the morning was not the best time to hear her chipper voice.
"Not bad, I saw Jasper, threatened Emmett and got hit on by the male population. Need I say more?"
"Oh sweetheart, don't worry, have you found an apartment yet?" she asked, god, get straight to the point. Renee was always very blunt, Emmett inherited that from her.
"No mum, I haven't, they are all out of my price range." I explained setting myself up, I realised and I knew just what was coming.
"Darling, you don't have to do this yourself, we can help you, and we have the money." This was true, my grandparents on both sides have large inheritances, my parents, after my grandparents died, now owned it, but they didn't use much, only to buy our cars really. Dad was the chief of police and mum was a kindergarten teacher, they earned enough to put Emmett and me in school and we helped pay for college but I didn't want to use my grandparent's money, it seemed wrong.
"Don't worry about it mum, I'll work something out, love you."
"Love you sweetheart," my mother said and we hanged up.
I got dressed for work, glad that there were no students in today and got in my car. I arrived at my school at 7:30. I didn't know why I was so early but I didn't care.
Claire was already at the reception, I smiled at her and she waved at me. I made my way to the conference room and picked a seat at the back. I saved one for Jasper, I just hope he got here soon.
"Hello, Bella." I turned around to see Eric Yorkee behind me; he gestured to Jasper's reserved seat and asked, "Can I sit here?"
I immediately felt bad, Eric seemed like a nice guy but I wasn't looking for a relationship.
"I'm sorry, that's saved for Jasper," I said guiltily and hung my head, he just laughed.
"No need to feel bad. I'll sit next to you another time." He walked away and Jasper walked in.
"Thanks for saving me a seat." I smiled.
"No problem." I replied.

Emmett talked during the whole first half of the day. God these teacher days were so boring. I chuckled and whispered in Jasper's ear.
"Emmett has finally found his dream job, now he can talk people's ears off and no one can say anything because he is the principle." Jasper laughed in response.
We had been mucking around all morning, trying to have fun. I was glad when it was time for lunch.
I made my way to the water filter, which was when I saw him, the guy with the bronze hair. He smiled at me and I went weak at the knees.
"Hi," I squeaked, shit, I SQUEAKED! Isabella Swan actually squeeked.
"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen. You're Isabella Swan?" his voice was like velvet.
"Bella" I said, looking into his green orbs. They had so much depth, like they were the window to his soul.
I had to break eye contact, I looked anywhere else and my eyes landed on his collar. That's when I saw it. It was a black rim around his neck, with white in the middle. That's when I realised what he was wearing, he was wearing black. Shit, that could only mean one thing. Edward Cullen was a Christian Brother. I could not believe it. A CHRISTIAN BROTHER was making me week at the knees. Why did he have to be attractive? Why was HE, A GREEK GOD, SEX ON LEGS, A CHRISTIAN BROTHER??
I then walked away without filling my cup with water. He must think that I am a bitch. I just walked away from him without an explanation. Oh my.
I went back to Jasper, now accompanied by a very angry looking Emmett.
"Isabella," he began, crap, he used my full name, I'm so dead. "Why did I get a call this morning from a very angry sounding mother saying that you're homeless?" I laughed; I thought he saw that I walked away from Edward.
"It's hardly like that, she makes it sound like I'm living on the streets, I'm just looking for an apartment is all." I replied rolling my eyes, classic dramatic Renee.
"Nonsense, you're staying with Rosie and me. Understand."
"Yes Emmett." I rolled my eyes again, great, I loved Rose and Emmett and all but they were engaged and I knew Rose wanted a baby soon (so they were kind of busy at the moment) as their wedding is only three months away.
"That's settled, you'll move in tonight, I'll call mum." Emmett walked off.
I still couldn't get my mind wrapped around the fact that Edward Cullen was a Christian Brother. I would have to forget about him… I have to!
Hope you enjoyed.
