STOP! (In the name of love!)
Okay, there are a lot of questions that everyone wanted to know.
First of all I would like to thank everyone SOO much for reviewing…I got more reviews on this chapter then I have on any of my other stories!
Okay, some Q&A:
Is this all human? Or vampire? Okay, all human. I just made him pale because like who's ever heard of a tan Edward Cullen? And also, he's still a Cullen…not a Mason.
How did Edward end up in Bella's bathroom? That is a VERY good question; luckily for you…this chapter is in…Edwards POV. I don't feel like making 2 stories…so I decided one chapters going to be Bella's POV. And one will be Edwards. Yay! So, I'm done ranting for now…enjoy!
Chapter 1 (Edward)
Disclaimer- If I was Stephenie Meyer…I would die of pure happiness. But…I'm not. So I'm living.
Late. Shoot. It was my first day in the new school, and I was late. I ran to my first class….306….room 306….there! English. Okay. I walked into the classroom with perfect timing. I heard my new English teacher about to introduce me.
"I have an announcement to make everyone, we have a new student today, please treat him kindly. His name is Edward Cullen." I walked in the room, and saw about twenty two pairs of eyes on me. But one pair…stood out to me the most. They were a dark brown, kind of chocolate color. They were beautiful. I noticed she was sitting alone, staring back at me. She had beautiful brown hair that looked so smooth that I wanted to run my fingers through it. I finally snapped out of it when my teacher spoke.
"Hm, Edward…there's an empty seat by over there." He said pointing towards another empty seat, away from her. I saw the girl sitting there give me a wink….no. I refuse to sit there, not with a girl like her. I looked back at the seat with the brown eyed girl for a minute and finally turned to the teacher.
"Um…is it okay if I sit over there." I said, not taking my eyes off her. She was absolutely beautiful. I saw the teacher look at me confused, almost like he was wondering why I wanted to sit there. That didn't matter though, the only thing I saw was him give a nod, which meant I could sit next to her. I saw the girl looking at the winking girl. Her beautiful eyes looked so sad that I couldn't even stand it. I had to distract her…her sadness made me feel so alone. So helpless. I pulled the chair out as loud as possible, hoping to grab her attention, but it was useless, she didn't even notice. She was staring at the board now, looking like she was trying very hard to pay attention. I finally couldn't take it anymore. I had to know her name; I had to know about her. I quickly wrote a note, and then folded it up, trying to match the corners perfect in attempt to impress her. I softly tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around, her face about 6 inches away from mine. She was breath taking. I smiled at her, and gave her the note. She smiled back at me, and then started to open it. I saw her face light up at my script, which made me chuckle to myself.
Hello, I'm Edward Cullen. It's nice to meet you; can I have your name please?
Was all I said to her, I had to act natural…she was just a girl….with ravishing eyes…that I wanted to know everything about. I saw her intake a deep breath. Was she breathing in protest? Maybe the note was a bad idea. I saw her take in another breath, and begin to write down. Then she smiled at me and passed it back.
Hello, I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella…how are you?
Her hand writing was adorable. It actually looked like the writing belonged to her. I quickly made note of it, and then wrote something back. I tried to write as fast as possible…the faster I could right…the faster she would right back.
It's nice to meet you Bella; I am fine, thank you for asking. May I know what your schedule is?
I watched her jot down her schedule as quick as possible, and then pass it back to me.

We had English, lunch, and Biology together. That was okay, all considering. I wrote my schedule back to see what she thought.

I saw her face light up, either because we had the classes together…or we didn't have the majority of the classes together. I couldn't really tell, and the bell rang. Maybe I can hear her voice; I bet it would be beautiful. She got up and looked at me, so I decided to start the conversation.
"Would you like to sit next to me at lunch?" I said, half joking half polite.
"Why thank you, I would be delighted to!" She said back in her own polite voice. Her voice rang like bells in my ears. It was even more beautiful then I imagined. We both started laughing at our sarcastic conversation. It was actually a good laugh, I haven't even laughed that way for a while.
We parted our ways and headed to our next classes. They were horrible. All the kids were the same, and that girl that winked at me in English kept attempting to talk to me. It didn't matter though, I was happy as long as Bella was on my mind. At the end of French I sprinted to her Spanish room, to meet her outside. I leaned against her door as she walked out; her eyes were filled with surprise.
"I thought it would be easier if we walked there together…so we didn't have to meet up…" I said quickly, but stammering at several parts. I can't even talk straight….I felt myself blush out of embarrassment.
"Yea…sure." She said back, also flushing a bright red. Then we both walked to the cafeteria. I didn't want to embarrass myself again, so I attempted to calm myself down during the walk. We finally sat at a table. The only people that were sitting was us two. I wondered where her other friends were….not that I minded, but even so.
"So, where are all your other friends?" I asked. I hope she wasn't leaving them to talk to me, I would have felt horrible. Maybe people ignore the new kids, and Bella was just trying to be nice. Maybe I was just a fool….
"Um…well…I sort of-" She began. But, she suddenly stopped, because the winking girl decided to pay a visit to our table.
"Hey Eddie, how are you." She said, sitting next to me. I felt her put her hand my hair, which disgusted me. "Why don't you ditch the loser and come talk to me." She said while inconspicuously putting her hand on my thigh. I shivered. Then I heard the word in her sentence…loser…Bella was beautiful, she was certainly not a loser.
"Loser…?" I asked, sounding worried. Did the winking girl not like Bella? I would have to get her away then. No one was going to hurt my Bella. …..My Bella? What was I thinking…I just met her. I barely knew her, and now she was mine?
"Yes, Bella…-" the girl said, almost in an ashamed disgusted tone. "She doesn't talk to anyone." I felt her lean closer into my body, and then she went to whisper something, relatively loud, so that Bella could hear "…She apparently killed a dog when she was younger, with her bare hands, you don't want her doing anything like that to you do you? If not, you better come with me…it'll be a lot more fun." She said giving me another wink. By now…I was fuming. I know Bella would never do something like that. I mean, I know I barely know her…but she's such a kind sweet hearted person, I couldn't even imagine her speeding down a highway. I looked at her, and saw that her eyes were brimming with tears. Oh no, please…Bella, your so beautiful, don't cry. Before I could say anything she got up from the table and started to walk away.
"Bella…" I called. Come back, I need you here, I know she was lying. I saw her increase her pace until she was out of the cafeteria. The girl tapped me, and winked at me again. I sighed.
"Can I have your name please?" I said rushing.
"Yes, it's Jessica…but call me Jess…please" she said putting a hand on my chest. I immediately pulled it off.
"Jessica, you're a liar. I know Bella did not kill a dog, and you made her cry. I have no interests in girls that cause others to be sad. If you'll excuse me, I have someone I need to chase after." I said, and then I started running. I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't care. I went up to several students and asked what Bella's last name was…it was Swan. Bella Swan. Hopefully her last name was on her house or something. I ran into a math room to grab my sister, Alice. She looked at me confused, as did the rest of the class. But, it didn't matter now, Bella was in trouble. I dragged Alice out of the room and into our car.
"Edward, WHAT are we doing?" She asked, sounding utterly mad and confused. I explained the whole story to her, about Bella, and about how she was perfect…and then how Jessica was completely horrible. She looked at me and smiled. "So….your in love huh?"
"In love? What are you talking about?" I asked. In love? Was I in love?
"Yes, Edward, when you are running after a girl that you don't know anything about, attempting to find her house because she was crying…that is love."
"I love her…"
"Yes, you do…now tell me her name, I have the phone book that we got yesterday in the back seat, I can get her address and phone number."
"Her name…is Bella…Bella Swan." I said, sounding proud. Alice flipped through the book, looking under the 'S's' as I was driving at top speed, going in circles around various places.
"Edward turn here!" She exclaimed. Didn't have to tell me twice. I turned onto the road. "It's this house right here." She said, pointing to an old beat up house. It was….horrible. I expected Bella to be one of those mother's little angel children. The ones that have the most loving family in the world. I quickly told Alice to wait out here, and I would be right back. I knocked on the front door, but no one responded. Bella had to be here, there was no where else she could be…please…let her be here. I was about to knock again, when I heard a scream. A horrible, blood curdling scream. I knew the voice anywhere, the beautiful perfect tone of the voice. That was Bella. I panicked. I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I followed the scream into the back of the house. There was a vine fence, leading to a window. I quickly climbed up it, and opened the window, to see a small room. It looked miserable. There was a computer at least; there was only one window, no lights. There was a tiny cot…which must me a bed. The walls were wooden and rotting. I saw a backpack and a bag…when I realized, that this must be Bella's room. I looked around trying to scan for Bella, when I heard panting, almost heavy breathing. It came from a different room.
I ran in the room, only to find it was a bathroom. There was water everywhere, sprayed around every inch of the room. I saw red…blood? Then, I looked down to find Bella, on the floor, gasping for life…crying. There was a huge deep gash in her cheek, and back and blues crept around her eyes. She was bleeding everywhere, I bent down next to her confused, and devastated.
"Bella….Bella?" I asked. Her crying went away, but her gasping didn't. I begged, I begged and begged for her to wake up. "Bella, please wake up…please." I said crying. I put my hands on her body, trying to comfort her in any possible way. They were shaking. I started sobbing more and more. Please God, make Bella okay…if your out there…make her okay, please. I would do anything for her, anything, just make her okay. I said silently, sobbing through my whole thought. All of a sudden, I saw her eyes flutter open. Her deep brown beautiful chocolate eyes open. I cried more. God, thank you so much, you saved my princess. Thank you. Thank you. I felt my sobs get heavier and heavier, as Bella started to become alert of the situation. "Oh Bella, thank God." I said out loud, crying even more. I held her tight, to show her…how much I loved her…how much I cared. It didn't matter that I just met her…I know…she's special.
"Edward….what are you doing here?" She asked. She sounded scared, and lost, and so confused. I had to get her to a hospital…bad. My father was a doctor…I think he was home…I can call him and tell him to meet me in the emergency room.
"That's not important, let's get you to the hospital, we have to go. You're bleeding horribly."
"No Edward…no, you can't…Karen….she'll kill-" She started. I felt her shaking beneath my body…she was crying.
"She'll kill…" I started. "Bella…did Karen…do this to you?" I said. I felt her starting to cry more and more…which was causing me to break down more.
"Don't tell, please don't tell, I'm scared Edward, I'm scared!" She said, gripping on to my shirt, begging and pleading.
"Bella, its okay…I have you, nothings going to happen to you when I'm here, now let me get you to the hospital." I said, trying to compose myself. I had to be the brave one…for the both of us. I grabbed her as careful as possible, picked her up, and started to carry her. "Am I hurting you?" I asked, trying to be soft. She nodded her head no sleepily. "Bella…you can go to sleep, you'll always be safe in my arms…I promise." I said. I started to hum to her…I don't know what it was…but it comforted her as her eyes started to get heavier. She fell into unconscious. At least she'll be out of pain for a while. I rushed down the starts with her in my arms. I had to get her out of here. Out of this home, this is such a horrible place. As I went into the living room, I saw someone, on the couch. Staring at me wide eyed. She got up and looked at me.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY MUEL?!" She said, slurred. Clearly she was drunk. I guessed that this was the lovely Karen that Bella referring to. She started to run after me with a beer bottle in her hand. She was quite clumsily out of being drunk, which was in favor for me as I ran out the door to the car. I went to the back seat of the car, and placed Bella laying down, her head on my lap. I heard Alice gasp.
"Edward, what happened?!" She asked, practically screaming.
"Alice, it doesn't matter, just drive! Go to the hospital, Bella's really hurt!" I shouted back at her. I saw Karen catching up, with a beer bottle, and apparently Alice did too, because she turned on the car and speeded down the road. I heard Karen screaming, and cursing. I looked back, and started to cry again, with Bella in my arms. At that moment I swore….that I would never let Bella go back to that house again.
And, that is how Edward ended in Bella's bathroom. Yes, Edward is a sap as a human…but, I really like that Edward is such a loving guy and I really wanted to bring that up. So yea, next time its Bella's chapter….what's going to happen? DUN DUN DUN! Oh, and remember…if you guys give me enough reviews…I could update tonight….I'll go for 6, if I get 6 reviews tonight…I'll update. Ohm and by the way…I think this is my longest chapter ever.
