Dinner was basically to show off your wealth. We each wore something elegant; I wore a tuxedo and slicked my hair back, as did the other human males. Rosalie was annoying with her thoughts. She wore half of her jewelry box to show how rich she was and it went with her sparkling pink dress. She didn't need the sun to sparkle. We would have stayed in the room but since that would look suspicious; we had to come and were forced to eat at least a few bites of human food. It was going to be gross. We sat down at a table that seated 12, so we were going to be forced to have company, and we did. It was a family called the Richards. They were one of the couples that Carlisle and Esme were talking to, and, according to Carlisle's mind, the only couple who seemed OK. He forgot to mention the annoying teenage daughter, Lucille, that they had. She was the one who was thinking of me as her husband on the deck, yuck. Alice noticed my discomfort and began chuckling, as did Emmett as he looked at my face. I silently cussed them both out when I saw her, Bella, walk in.

She wore a red dress that tied around the waist and white gloves. She didn't wear a lot of jewelry, just gold earrings and a heart-shaped necklace. Her hair was pinned back by that same blue pin and she wore light makeup, just some blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, and lipstick. If I thought she was beautiful then, she was stunning now. She walked with grace as she followed three women, one I recognized as Miss MayWeather, a famous actress in England, the other two I didn't know, though one must have been Bella's mother. Looking back at her I noticed that that girl Angela was with her. She was wearing a white dress, which I saw in her head that it was Isabella's and that the other woman was Angela's mother. I followed them as they sat down just a few tables from us.

"Edward what' wrong, you feel warm, kind of how Carlisle feels when he thinks of Esme?" Jasper thought. I shook my head, which led to Alice snicker. I glared. "You saw this didn't you?" I whispered just low so she would only hear.

"Maybe." Annoying pixie.

"Don't waste your time, she's not worth it." Lucille said in a jealous tone. Damn, even she saw me staring.

"Who is she?" I asked, wanting to get more information.

"Oh, she's Isabella Swan, the Swan's own the whole railroad system of England and France." Woah, she was very rich.

"Why did you say she's not worth it?" Alice asked, glaring at Lucille; she did not like that, I saw that Alice was very fond of Bella even though she did not know her.

Lucille took a second to recover from Alice's glare. "She's not truly one of us. Her mother's just a gold digger." What?

"Lucille, that's enough." Her father, Derrick, stopped his conversation with Carlisle to scold his daughter. Lucille shrugged with no regret and began eating. "Please forgive her; she just likes to listen to gossip." Her mother, Francine apologized.

"It is quite alright, but, I'm now interested in the Swans." Esme said.

Francine turned towards Bella's table and back at us. "The rumor that Renee Swan is a gold digger is because she had no money when she and Charlie Swan got married. He died of leukemia just four years ago, leaving his fortune to Renee and his daughter, Bella." I felt sad, she lost her father. "You see, Bella wasn't schooled as most of us. She went to public school, took no lessons unless she asked Renee to put her in things, which she has. Bella is a very smart and talented girl; she would often play in parks." In her mind I saw Bella playing the piano under a canopy. "Anyway, please don't listen to the gossip, these girls like to spread anything as long as it's not about them." I can see why Esme and Carlisle like these two, they weren't as uptight as the others, can't say the same about their daughter.

"Angela, Bella, come quick, he's going to do it, he's going to do it." Jeffery said, running through the dining room until he reached their table. We eavesdropped.

"Are you serious, you sure?" Angela asked, Bella looked as if she wanted to know the answer as well.

He shook his head. "Come on, we don't want to miss it." Angela and Bella looked at their mothers with puppy dog eyes. The three laughed. "That's fine, just be in your room by 12." Bella and Angela cheered, jumped up, and began running out until Bella was about to crash into a waiter that walking their way. She did some turn that made him stumble but not drop anything. She and Angela stopped and apologized, still chuckling as the waiter walked off with frustration when she saw me. I smiled slightly as she smiled back. She then looked at me, looked at the exit, and back at me as she ran out.

"Oh Edward." I heard Alice sing in her head. I looked to see myself excusing myself and then following her out on to the deck. "What are you waiting for, gooooo."

"Excuse me, but I'm starting to feel a bit tired." Emmett could barely keep in his laugh, Alice and Jasper were smiling as Carlisle and Esme stared at me with confusion until I said in a low voice "talk to Alice." Rosalie was rolling her eyes. "Really? Chase the bad girl?" Shut up Rosalie.

"Alright then, we will see you later." I nodded, saying my goodbyes, ignoring Lucille, and walked slowly until I was out of the dining room and then ran to the deck. I opened the door to the smell of the ocean.

"Is everyone ready?" I heard a boy yell, followed by shouts. I followed the sounds and scents until I smelt her; she smelt of lavender. I walked down to the third-class section and there she was, with Angela, watching as two boys were wrestling, playfully, but still aggressive. Angela and Bella were cheering for the black hair boy named Ben. Bella laughed and whispered something in Angela's ear. Then she got up and began running towards the back of the boat. Her hair came undone, the pin fell out, but she kept running, arms out, as if she was flying. I grabbed her pin and followed her until I found her, on the back of the boat, hanging off the ship. Was she going to jump? "Don't jump." I called, panicking.

She looked at me, stunned, but laughed softly. "Who said I was going to jump?" She wasn't? Then, why is she on that side. I then noticed that she had been crying, why? "I love the breeze of the wind, especially with the smell of the air." I heard her say as I walked right by her, leaning against the rail. I couldn't help but fear for her safety. She still wore her heels and one slip, she could end up in the water, and then I would have to jump in after her. The water was probably a few degrees under; she wouldn't be able to survive. "I think you should come over."

"And when did you become my mother?" She replied, staring at me, sobbing slightly.

"It's dangerous."

"I like danger." She turned to face me; if I could I would have a heart attack, was she trying to kill herself? "What's your name?"

"Edward Cullen, please, can you get over." I asked, wiping her tears and held out my hand.

She stared at me before grabbing it. I held on it tight, not to the point where I crushed her hand, and held it as she stepped up. When she did, she slipped. "Edward." She cried as I held onto her hand; her dangling above the water.

"It's ok; I got you, give me your other hand." I held out my other. She swung her other hand up a few until I finally got a hold of it. "Don't let go." She sobbed, scared.

"I won't let go, I promise." I assured her as I pulled her up, not without difficulty. When she was half-way over she clung on to my neck as I picked her up bridal style and set her on the bench away from the ledge. She still held on to my neck, calming herself down. Her heartbeat was racing as I felt it against my chest. When she calmed down, she looked at me, her arms still around my neck. "Thank you." She breathed.

I nodded. "Come on, we should get you back to your room." I helped her up, though her arms let go of my neck, they went to wrap around my chest; she was still scared, not that I was complaining. I put my arm over her and we walked until her friend found us. "Oh my gosh, Bella what happened?"

"I was being stupid; I stood on the rails and slipped. I would have fallen if Mr. Cullen didn't save me." Bella explained, letting go to my displeasure.

Angela gasped and hugged Bella. "Thank you so much, she is such a klutz and daredevil, two horrible mixtures." I chuckled softly. "It was no trouble at all."

"We should get back to our rooms Bella. Thank you again Mr. Cullen." I nodded and watched them leave until I remembered something. "Wait." They turned to me. I stood in front of Bella, taking out her pin. "I believe this belongs to you." She gasped and took it, smiling. "Oh thank you so much." She kissed my cheek, blushing as she pulled away, I probably would be blushing as well. "I don't know how to repay you, but, I would be delighted if you and your family would join us for dinner tomorrow." The fact that you survived is all I need, but, more time with her? "We would be delighted." She smiled and walked away with Angela. Could a dead heart beat again?
