Ok everyone, please don't expect my updates to be this close together from here on out, but I didn't want anyone thinking my Edward was insane so I thought I'd give his POV. This is a work of fiction so please keep that in mind, I don't know if this is what would happen if a foreign student was kicked out of school.

Just like all things Twilight belong to SM, all things Dartmouth belong to, well Dartmouth I guess...

American Woman

Chapter 2

EPOV

2 1/2 months earlier

Three more weeks and I'll be done with med school, I can't wait, thought Edward as he walked towards his car. He was startled out of his thoughts when he saw a familiar person standing next to his volvo. "Charlotte?"

"Hello Edward, we need to talk," said the striking brunette. Edward new this wasn't good news if Charlotte was here, she only contacted his family when there was a problem. He unlocked his car knowing nothing else would be said until they had privacy.

"What's happened Charlotte?" he asked after sliding into the drivers seat.

"I'm so sorry Edward, there was a car accident, both your parents were killed."

"Oh my God! I have to get home, this can't be happening," said Edward.

"You can't go home Edward. I'm afraid it wasn't an accident. We've discovered it was Peter Sidorov, he put a hit out on your father and any family members in England. You're safe here Edward, but if you come back you're a dead man," Charlotte informed him while trying to stay professional. She had worked with Edward Sr. for the SIS since Edward was a baby and it broke her heart to have to tell him this news. "We've already taken care of the funeral and all of your family's assets have been moved to a safe location for you to access, the information you'll need is in this envelope. Again Edward, I am so sorry."

"I know Charlotte, thank you," Edward said. "Goodbye."

"Goodbye Edward, take care of yourself, and make sure you do whatever you have to to stay in the states," she said before getting out of his car and walking out of his life.

Edward spent the next two weeks in a drunken stuper, he ignored his phone and the occassional knock on his door, but reality came crashing in when his door was openned and his student advisor walked in.

"Hello Edward, I had to make sure you were still alive in here. I've been told you haven't been to any of your classes for the last two weeks, now I see why," he said while looking around at all the empty bottles. "What's going on Edward?"

Edward looked at this man with pain in his eyes and told him about his parents death.

"Well, I'll see if I can get your professors to let you make up the work, but I wish you had come to me sooner. I'm afraid it may be too late. I'll call you later today, please answer your phone," he said "and Edward, I'm very sorry for your loss," he said before leaving.

Edward once again fell apart when he was alone, and he passed out drunk before the phone rang. The next day his advisor came back to tell Edward he was unable to get all his professors to let him make up his missed work. "I'm sorry Edward, I know this is the last thing you need right now, but we have to remove you from the school. You'll have to reapply to finish your degree and your student visa will be revoked immediately. You have sixty days to get your affairs in order and go home to England," and with that he walked out.

Great, now what do I do? I can't get sent back there, I need to find a way to stay here, Edward thought. He picked up his phone and called his friend Emmett.

"Hello."

"Hello Emmett, it's Edward."

"Hey man, how's it going? We haven't heard from you in ages." Emmett said enthusiastically.

Well that's why I'm calling, it's not going well at all, is that invitation to visit still open?" asked Edward.

"Of course man, get yourself up here. If you're having problems and I didn't help, Rosie would have my ass, you know that," said Emmett.

"Thanks man, I'll be there in a few hours, okay?"

"That sounds great, see you then, bye."

"Bye Em" Edward said and ended the call. I hope they can help me figure this out, now to pack and find my way to Lancaster, thought Edward.

Two hours later Edward had all his things packed into his volvo and had McCarty's Pub programmed into his GPS. A little over an hour later he was parking behind his friend's pub and dragging himself out of his car. The back door was propped open so he walked in and was immediately pulled into Rose's arms. "Edward, we've missed you so much! Come in here and tell us what's going on, Emmett said something was wrong," Rose was always so sweet and caring, Edward couldn't help but feel a little better just being here. They walked into a back office where Emmett was working.

"Edward, good to see you, come in and have a seat," said the mountain of a man.

"Thanks Emmett, Rose, I can't tell you how good it is to be here with you two," Edward said. "I found out two weeks ago that my parents were killed and if I return to England I will be too. Now, I've fucked up at school because I was so depressed and I've been kicked out, so I'm being sent back in two months. I can't go back, so I was hoping you guys could help me find a way to stay here permanently."

"Oh Edward I'm so sorry, we'll do whatever we can," said Rose.

"Yeah man, we wont let them send you back."

"Thanks guys, I knew I could depend on you two," said Edward, smiling for the first time in two weeks. Edward had met Emmett when he first came to Dartmouth. Emmett was a senior and he helped Edward learn a lot about college life that first year. Edward had also confided in Emmett and Rosalie at that time, what a danerous job his father had, so none of this was actually a surprise. A year after graduating with a degree in business Emmett openned his pub in the little town of Lancaster, he and Rose thought it was the perfect place to eventually raise a family.

"Come on handsome, I'll get you something to eat and then you can turn in for the night upstairs, you look wiped out," said Rose.

Weeks passed and they were still unable to find a legal way to keep Edward in the states.

"I swear the only way to keep you here is to find an american woman to take pity on your ass and marry you," said a frustrated Emmett.

"I know, and even that's illegal! If the feds find out its fake the woman would go to jail and you would still be shipped back," said Rosalie.

"I'm beginning to think I need to find a really good actress," Edward said only half joking. "I need a break, I only have two more days. I'm going for a walk, I'll be back in a while," said Edward as he stood up and headed out of the pub.

After walking around the beautiful little town Edward had made a decision, it was his only real choice after all, he'd go back to the pub and ask the next single woman he met to marry him, Charlotte did say to do whatever I had to do.

A/N So see, Edward's not insane, just really desperate...come on who wouldn't jump on that offer? I know I would. R and R please.
