Hey! just a little message! i'm just a rookie so it might get boring...

"excuse me?" what does he like, older women? What does my mom have to do with anything? Well, I guess I better answer before he spaces out on me again.

"never mind. That was a silly question. it's just that you remind me of someone I used to know"

"haha yea, and finding out who my mom is will tell you who I remind you of." I said sarcastically. I laughed at the comment. He didn't think it was very funny.

"you know you smell different?" he told me.

"um….thanks….I suppose" I think it was supposed to be a compliment. But, he laughed.

After I got my lunch I sat with Molly, Sarah, Ashton, Greg, Jules, and Jonah.

"woman! Where have you been?" Greg asked.

"I can't believe you sit next to Edward!" Molly told me.

"he's so hot. Forget about Troy, Edward is so……….rawr!" she said acting like a cat.

"no way you guys! I don't know anything about him. For all I know he could be a ladies man or someone who makes you think he likes you but in the end it was all just a joke." I said staring into space.

"I think she's daydreaming again" Molly snapped her fingers at me.

"stop that" I snapped back.

"speaking of Mr. handsome." she said looking behind me. Oh great, it was Edward.

"hey" I greeted.

"hey……um….about that friendship thing. I take your offer." he said seriously.

"sure" I said turning around to eat my sandwich. But, he grabbed my tray. I didn't really like his first impression. And, he treated my friendship like it was something to buy.

"my sisters want to meet you." he gave me an encouraging smile.

"you told your sisters about me?" I asked.

"yes. You are my friend aren't you?"

"yea" I said grabbing my tray from him. "but I can carry my own food. Thanks." As we walked to their table, I tripped and my food went flying across the floor. This day just keeps getting better and better. I covered my embarrassment by laughing but that was before I realized one of his sisters who was just walking up to greet me had some food on her shirt.

"oh my goodness! I am so sorry!" I apologized as they all laughed at me. I out my hand on my forehead.

"it's fine" she laughed. "I'll go clean up in the bathroom".

"I'm sorry" I looked at Edward who looked quite mad.

"watch where your going next time. You might hurt yourself" wow! I thought he was going to yell at me for ruining his sisters shirt.

"everyone trips Edward!" I shook my head.

The Cullen's then started whispering to each other like there was some inside joke I wasn't getting.

"so anyway, sit down Bella" Edward said.

"OMG!" I said, putting my hand on my mouth.

"I said Ella!" Edward gasped.

"I know!! That's a great nickname Edward. No one calls me that" I laughed. People would call me Lena or Elaine but no one has ever called me Ella. Even my brother has a nickname for me, Lenny, but he doesn't call me that all the time. Although it sounded like he said Bella which was my mom's nickname. Anyway, I learned that he had two sisters Rosalie and Alice. Then, he had two brothers names Emmett and Jasper. Rosalie was blonde and she looked a little conceited but all in all she was nice, I guess. Alice was really polite and she looked like a little fairy from when I saw her. Emmett was bigger than my brother. He looked pretty fit. And, Jasper looked calm and serene. Well, they were all adopted so they weren't technically siblings. One by one they left the table. I hope I didn't do anything. And, Alice never came back. Goodness! Mistake after mistake. I better save myself from even more embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry Edward. I didn't mean to do anything. I think I wanna go back to my friends" I said politely.

"yeah" he said. But, it looked like he was more occupied on something else.

"okay bye" I told him.

"Lenny!" Masen called running behind me.

"ugh! What?" I asked.

"I have to stay after school today. I'm really sorry. Can you take the bus home?" he pleaded.

"okay"

"I can drive you home" Edward suggested looking at me.

"don't you think you should get my permission first before you take my sister? Damn newbie!" Masen bellowed.

"MASEN!" I yelled punching his arm. "don't be rude"

"I'm sorry, did you say your name was Masen?" Edward asked.

"Masen Carter Black, don't wear it out!" my brainless brother replied.

"and what's your full name Elena?"

"that's confidential" Masen smirked. I rolled my eyes.

"gosh Masen! Sometimes!!" I made my hands to look like I was strangling his neck. "well, I should go" I said before leaving.

Edward POV

First day of school was weird. First, my sisters tell me, as always, to try and start dating again, then this girl who looks a lot like Bella tries to be my friend, then she has a brother named Masen! Could my day get any worse. I pressed the button on my keys and heard my Volvo's doors locking. My siblings were already in the new home. We especially picked this house because it had a theatre room, a pool (indoor I might add), a basketball court, and it was far enough from everyone else that no one could see us. But, it was also close enough to everyone else that we weren't all alone. At least the voices in my head were calmed down at home. Although, I could still here my brothers and sister. Speaking of reading minds, the girl I was talking about, Elena, I can't read her mind for some reason. Has Bella died? Did she get reborn as this Elena? Or is that her daughter? Either way, she had a nice smile. And, she called me dazzling. I remember the only other person who had told me I was dazzling. Bella. I remember laughing for the first time in 20 years. I never thought I would ever smile again when I made that fatal mistake of leaving Bella.

"Hello Edward" Esme welcomed me.

"Hello Esme" I smiled.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"that was a smile!" she laughed.

"Yea Esme! It's an expression using the mouth."

"he met a girl" Jasper called from the couch. Ugh! No I didn't.

"It's just this girl. She wanted to be a friend." I told her.

"she looked a lot like Bella!" Rosalie pointed out. Emmett covered her mouth and she made a disgusted face. They were up to something. I knew it. Why else would they have left one by one at lunch. Only leaving me with Elena. Well, the girl does make me smile. And, it was obvious from her friends minds that she was in love with that boy who was sitting next to her before he was kicked out. And, she smelled differently. Her blood smelled good but, it wasn't tempting and it didn't smell bad or anything. It's like oxygen for humans, it's just there.

"Edward?" Esme asked.

"Alright. She did look a little like Bella but that's not why-" I started to say.

"why then? Alice said.

"because………..she did kinda remind me of Bella. And her brother's name is Masen. Seriously!"

"Edward………so, what do you plan to do look for married Bella?"

"No, maybe just check up on her"

"then what?"

"I don't know"

"if I told you I knew where she was will you start dating again?"

"alright but not here" I advised.

"oh come on! I love this house! We can't move yet!" Alice whined.

"I actually like it too" Rosalie agreed.

"it has a basketball court!" Emmett harmonized.

"we're going to have to move again anyhow!" I protested.

"dude! I agree with them. Especially with Alice. You need to start dating again. When we have family fun night on Thursday, your not having fun." Jasper spoke.

Bella POV

Jacob wasn't as concerned as I was. I was really hoping that Elena didn't meet Edward today. Not that Edward would be in Elena's school let alone in the same state but still, better safe than sorry. Speaking of being more safe than sorry, I should have taken that advice when me and Jacob left the kids with Rachel, Jacob's sister two months ago. I felt dizzy all the time and hungry. I catch myself sitting on the table stuffing my face with a different cake every half hour. My boobs were hurting and I felt bloated. I called Rebecca to ask her if she could fill in for me for a while. When she comes I am going to go home and sleep for a few hours. And, maybe stop by a drug store.

After driving to the drugstore I went straight home. It took me a fairly long time to decide on which one I wanted to use. I drove into the driveway but it looked like there was already a car there. It was Jacob's car. Why was he home? My chest flared up and my grip on the handle tightened. What if he was cheating on me? I couldn't bare to be a single mother. I wouldn't know how to do it. I bulked up, took my keys out of the ignition and went inside the house. There, Jacob sat in the kitchen with some coffee.

"what are you doing?" I winced. He put his coffee down and wrapped his arms around me.

"honey! How are you feeling? Rebecca called. She said Rachel had to take over cause you felt sick?" He said hugging me. I was holding the CVS bag behind my back hoping he wouldn't notice. My heart was beating like running footsteps. I don't know if Jacob wanted another child. I buried my face on his dirty shirt.

"how do you feel about having another child?" I asked.

"another child? Are you sure you want another child?" he asked back.

"you didn't answer my question." I told him even though from his response I already knew. Well, it wasn't a yes.

"of course I would want more children." he said giving me a kiss. I felt his warm hands intertwine with mine as he took the bag from me.

"a pregnancy test?" he grinned. His smile reached his eyes and I knew he did want another child.

"I don't know if-" I tried to say but he started to kiss me. His warm lips brushing against mine. Slowly and steadily he kissed my neck. I closed my eyes and pulled him closer to my body. I could feel both our heartbeats beating as one. My breathing became louder and more pleasurable. I pushed him into the living room onto the couch. I sat on him and kissed his collarbone while he lifted my shirt. I took his hands and pulled my shirt down.

"no" I tried to say. I still had to take that test. But, I found myself pulling his shirt off. It went up and around his arms then onto the floor.

"I have to strip but you don't?" he asked. I could feel his smile between our kisses. It made me laugh so I stopped. I sat up and fixed my hair. His inviting hands went up my shirt to my back. He played with my bra strap for a while and that made me laugh. After I put my hands down he pushed my back so I could lean down on him again. He kissed me as he slid he hands up and down my back. I tried to restrain myself but it was hard with Jacob.

"Jake, no" I breathed. "I still have to take that test"

He moaned in discontent. "fine. All you have to do is pee on the thing, when your done you come straight to the bedroom"

I ran to the bathroom and took the test as quick as I could. All I had to do now was wait. I shook it so it would be faster. Quickly, I glanced at the stick. On it was a yellow sad face. That meant NEGATIVE! Yes! On my face was a happy face. I threw the stick away, washed my hands, and ran to my husband. He was sitting on the bed. I jumped on his lap facing him and put his hands around me.

"we're having another baby?" he smiled.

"um, no!" I laughed. I felt his hands loosened on my back.

"well, those, those things could be wrong. How many did you take?" he asked.

"I took one!" I unbuttoned my shirt. He took my hand. His grip was tight and powerful.

"take another one!"

"no Jake!"

"Bella. Please, oh, I'm going to call your doctor and set up an appointment." he said getting up and walking to the phone.

Elena POV

Stupid me! I missed the bus! I walked around the school trying to look for my brother but there was no sight of him. I should've took Cullen's offer and rode with him. UGH! I started to walk home in the hot weather. I was already sweating from walking around the school looking for my brother. A black land rover drove passed me but stopped in front of me. I started walking again. But the driver's door opened stopping my tracks. AH!

"hey, you wanna ride?" he gave me a crooked smile.

"Troy?" I squinted though he was right in front of me.

"Elena?" he laughed. "now that we've recognized each other, come on, I'll give you a ride. It's burning outside" Me and Troy Adams alone in his car? AHH!

"really?" this is too good to be true. Why would he want to give me a ride.

"yea, no kid sister of Masen's is walking in this weather" he opened the passenger seats door. Oh great he said 'kid sister'. I can't believe our relationship is going to be based on being friends with my brother. UGH! I suddenly didn't want to ride with him.

"that's…..alright. Thanks but no thanks." I started walking.

"come on Elena! For me…" he pouted.

"why should I? Plus, if my brother finds out he'll totally tell my parents." I rolled my eyes.

"tell your parents what?"

"that I got a ride home from a boy. And, I'm not aloud to start dating. It will give them the wrong impression."

"don't worry" he laughed. "I already got permission from your brother. I saw you standing outside and I was done with my football tryout so before your brother left with his girlfriend I asked him if I could take you home." oh, so he left with his girlfriend huh? That little bastard! I spent about 30 minutes walking around the school looking for him and he decides to leave with his girlfriend? I changed my mind. I will have a ride with Troy. I slid into the seat next to him.

"it's really hot outside." he said.

"yea, it's hot in here too!" I replied. Thank god he was turning the AC on.

"Sorry. Um…so, your dad has a shop right?" he asked. What's with people asking me about my parents today?

"yea, he has a shop." hmm….I was just surprised I was able to talk to him clearly.

"you think I could maybe get a job there?" he asked. Oh so this was about money. "even just like, part time or something?"

"Are you giving me a ride just so you could get a job?" I asked.

"well, yeah. I guess you can say that. But, I was wondering if you wanted to go to this party with me? It's on Friday. Today's only Monday so you have a lot of time to think about it." He smiled. So I guess it wasn't just about the job. Awww…..he's so cute.

"I'll think about it." I tried flirting. That was flirting right? He stopped the car. I didn't even notice that it was because I was home. I stepped out of the car and noticed my parents were home. Shit! I thought they would be at work. I'm dead. That's it! I'm so dead!

Bella's POV

"Is that Elena?" I asked Jacob who was putting a shirt on. He came behind me and we looked down from the second floor downstairs to see that a boy had come out of the car.

"who the hell is that?" Jacob snapped. I turned to grab the collar of his shirt before he went to probably beat that boy up.

"wait" I said fixing his shirt. "why don't you let her date this boy. Just incase you know, he who shall not be named comes back. Then she wont fall in love with you know who because she already loves that boy." I said. He sighed.

"what is this Harry Potter? NO! Edward isn't here. Alright?" Jake yelled. He always got mad when I mentioned you-know-who.

"Jacob………" I glared at him.

"no" he said shaking his head. I pulled his face down to mine so I could kiss him. I traced his lips with my tongue then he pulled me away.

"okay…." he smiled. "but, I'm going to need more about this boy." We walked downstairs to the front door. I held my husbands hand for support. And, just incase he happens to want to punch the boy, I'll try to restrain him.

"Hi mom, hi dad" Elena said kissing us both on the cheeks. "uh…..you guys are home early?" haha. She was trying to change the subject.

"Who's this?" I smiled at her.

"Come here BOY!" Jacob ordered. His voice was low and supreme. The boy came quickly as If he was our butler or something. He kept his hands in his pockets and looked down.

"um….mom, uh……dad…..this is Troy Adams my boyfriend haha…I wish…..he goes to my school. Masen was well, busy at school so he offered to give me a ride." She said shyly.

"what grade are you in?" Jake asked him.

"I'm in the same grade as your daughter…..sir" He replied.

"you like her?" Jake asked. I nudged him as I saw Elena's face.

"DAD!" she yelled. "I'm sorry Troy, my dad-"

"- it's alright Lena, I actually wanted to talk to your dad about that." he said stepping up. He stood in front of me and Jacob now. He took a pocket knife from his pocket and flipped the knife up. Oh my, was he going to cut himself? Ugh! Jacob stood in front of me. The next thing I knew, the boy had cut his palm. Blood spread all over his hand. He didn't even say ouch or anything. I couldn't look. Stupid me, I looked at his palm once again. He wasn't bleeding anymore. The cut was gone. It was just a little pink line. Then, Jacob and I knew what was going on.

"why don't you stay for dinner, son?" Jake beamed. They went on inside and Elena was standing on the sidewalk walking towards me.

"what happened? Why was dad calling him son all of a sudden?" She asked me.

"it's nothing honey, your dad just had a change of heart." I smiled.
