Bella POV

I didn't know it was possible, that whole 'love at first sight' saying. I mean I'm still in denial, but the second I looked into his eyes I knew I would never be able to say goodbye. I don't even freaking know him, how he acts, his moods, personality-nothing. How can I possibly be this attracted to him? Love at first sight—doubtful, but defiantly—severely a crush at First Sight. And of course I just happen to be standing here, ogling him like a fool.

He is the most beautiful man I've ever seen.

His messy golden hair, strong arms, bright emerald green eyes, and an amazing forestry smell. I wonder if he is wearing cologne. I need to snap out of it. People are around, his family is around. I can only imagine how I look right now. I try with all my might to right myself, to tear my eyes away from his but my body won't move. Trader muscles! I yell at myself.

"Bella this is my brother Edward," Emmett interrupted. He's looking at Edward with troubled eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. I can't help but feel like I am missing something.

"Hi Bella, are you okay?" Edward asks, squinting his eyes. My cheeks fill up with heat as blush raises to the surface. It is all I could do to keep from falling at his intense stare. I just stare and nod at him. Does he realize his effect on me? God I hope not. I don't even freaking know his effect on me! Edward chuckles, probably at my rosy red cheeks. Lovely

The rest of the evening went by much the same, my clumsiness showed itself countless times. Mostly when I was around Edward. I mean seriously, I've never been this flustered and shy around a guy. Rosa always said I was lucky to have a gene that allowed me to get up and introduce myself to anyone. Why is Edward so different? Eventually Edward just commanded me to sit down, after I tripped over my own feet. I'm a klutz get over it. But I couldn't say that, I'm a guest after all. Edward actually surprised me at how old he seems. Commanding me to sit, almost acting like the adult since none were present. I send a mental note to ask Carlisle about the age difference. I men Carlisle is only twenty-five, how can he be dating someone with three kids around eighteen?

Emmett had told me that Edward and Alice were in my grade. Alice, she didn't calm down like I was half expecting. I can see myself loving Alice as my own sister, I just don't know if I was ready yet.

How can I betray Rosa like that? She was my sister, is my sister.

"Ugh!" I groan. Will it ever get better? Will the pain ever fade? I love Rosa, more than anything. I just don't know how to live life without her. Rosa's murder was my fault, no matter how many times people told me it wasn't I knew the truth. I allow myself a small second to think about her and my mind betrayed me, going back to the last night I had with Rosa.

"Bella!?" I smile hearing Rosa calling my name. She didn't even have to knock, she practically lives here. Her parents are always gone, and don't pay much attention to her when they are home. They just send a huge check every week so that she can buy 'necessities'. If it wasn't for those checks she would probably think that they didn't even know she existed. I feel bad for her; my best friend didn't deserve this. Every time I try to talk to her she would just wave it off as nothing, "I have you guys what else could I want or need?" she replies whenever I ask if she is okay. I would only smile in a reply, I know she is sad but she's right, she did have us and nothing would change that.

"Upstairs Ro!" I yelled back as she walked into my room. "Oh, you found me" I laughed

"What are you doing?" she asks nodding to the papers surrounding me. I just sigh, I hate AP classes, if my friends couldn't even tell I was doing homework then it was obviously too much. But I won't settle for anything less. Rosa and I plan on leaving this tiny town and moving to Chicago. While she has the smarts for it, I need to study to prove my worth.

"Homework," I said with a discussed look on my face. She just laughs and comes over to sit on the floor next to my bed. I don't have a very big room; it's pink from when I was little. My mom doesn't like the fact that I am growing up. You could say my room belonged to a seven year old. It holds dolls on the walls, and flowers on my blanket and walls.

"Sucks," I laugh she sure knows how to make me feel better. "So I have a question," she continues.

I just stare at her to continue, "Well you see I know I promised you I wouldn't go back to that club, but Rick asked if I could meet him there tonight. So I thought that maybe you wouldn't hate me for going if you came with?" she finishes with a grin on her face.

Is she fucking kidding me! Why in the world would I agree to going to that club with her, much less let her go!? Thisclub she wants to go to is more like a rave. It is underground and full of druggies. I made her promise not to go again after someone drugged her and she was placed in the hospital for a week. I was terrified and thought I lost her. It was the worst week of my life and now she wants to go back? Maybe that drug has a delayed reaction. She doesn't even know this Rick! They just met two days ago and he wants to drag her to the club? I refuse.

"ROSA YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I yell at her, furious beyond belief.

"Bella honey, are you okay? Who's Rosa?" I open my eyes to see Edward standing over me with a worried looking Alice behind him. My thoughts must have led to a nightmare. I didn't even realize that I fell asleep. I look up at then as Edward reaches out to touch my cheek. Its then I realize that I'm crying. Blush quickly rushes to my face, making my puffy eyes look worse. I know I have to get away before I completely lose myself. No one needs to see me like this, especially if I'm going to be living with them. I jump up and push Edward and Alice out of the way. Not knowing this area or house, I go for what I do know and run out the front door. Leaving a very confused family behind me.

I am immediately welcomed by the cold wet wind. I ignore it and run. I run for everything I feel. Rosa's murder, my guilt, the confusing feelings I have for someone I just met, and Alice, I run out everything until I can't feel anymore. It's not fair that I can feel and Rosa cant. I shouldn't have to be here, or let this family see me. I'm a mess, the biggest mess you can imagine in your head. Mom was right to send me away, but I was wrong to let Rosa go, I am wrong to let this family into my screwed up life.

I don't know where I end up, or where I'm running. I don't really care. I don't feel anything, I just stop and fall to the ground, sobbing. I can't take it anymore and I can't go back; I can only imagine what they think of me now. "There goes that new girl our mom's boyfriend brought home." I laugh through my sobs. I'm a mess, I shouldn't be allowing myself to break down like this. Rosa would want me to be strong. But dammit, I don't know how to live without her.

Not knowing what else to do, I lay down into a ball and let the tears fall. I let the sobs take me, and my sadness envelop my body. I didn't bother looking where I was in town. For all I know I can be in someone's front yard. But I'm beyond caring. I'm too hurt to care.

Why did I have to be so stupid? If I just acted like the good friend I was supposed to be then maybe none of this would have happened. But then I wouldn't have met the Hamilton's, and I immediately fell in love with them. They're warm and inviting even though I'm a stranger they never knew existed. I know I shouldn't be so happy to have met them, they aren't my family, but Carlisle is. I lost Rosa and I won't get her back. No matter how much guilt I feel, I know that no matter how much she hates me for being the cause of her murder she would want me to move on. And that's what I'm going to do, move on. I need to do it. I don't know how but I will. I won't let Rosa be ashamed of me.

Next thing I know, I'm in a room I've never seen, with a smell I vaguely remember. I must have fallen asleep again, I'm pretty sure I stopped outside and not in someone house. Though, for all I know some creep could have came and picked me up, thinking I was easy prey. I sit up to take a look around. One of the walls is covered in CDs, the others are full of books, almost floor to ceiling. And cream colored walls. This could possibly be the nicest room I've ever seen. Then it finally dawns on me, WHOS ROOM IS THIS? Was I taken? I jump up, and look around for someone, or something to give me an idea about where I am. No one is around so I start to take a look around. Once I see the picture I instantly relax, Its Edward's room. Just as the thought went through my mind, Edward walks into the room with a shocked look on his face.

"Bella! You awake! Are you okay? Does your head hurt? Would you like a change of clothes? Your Uncle called to check on you. I hope you don't mind that we put you in my room. Ill sleep on the floor, it's just we don't know where Ma had planned on you staying you don't want to sleep with anyone else, trust me." Edward laughed nervously as he finished his rambling. What time is it? How long was I out? What did Carlisle want? I looked at the clock and my eyes widened when I see it is already after ten.

"Edward w-what ha-happened?" I stuttered out. He looks at me, confusion settles in his eyes. Maybe I did hurt my head.

"You don't remember?" he asks, and I shake my head. "The only thing I remember is deciding that I need to move on." Crap he isn't supposes to know that! I curse at myself. Of course he didn't miss my blurb. Edward came over to sit next to me on the bed. As soon as he gets comfortable he grabs my hands and gets me to face him. Confusion and sadness lace his eyes.

"Bella before you ran out, you yelled about someone names Rosa, and then you just said you decided to move on? Can I ask you what happened? When I saw you on the road passed out and crying, it didn't matter that I've only known you for a couple hours. I saw you and it felt like my heart was being ripped apart, I can't explain why I feel like that Bella but I do. You looked so broken and I wanted to do was help you, protect you. None of us know what happened or why you moved here. Carlisle said it was your story to tell. I'm not asking you to tell me, but I want you to know that you can trust me. I will be here for you." He finishes in determination.

I'm crying again, I know what he meant, I felt like I could trust him. It was unexplainable but it was true, maybe it was because he was close to Carlisle. He was hurting, I can see it in his eyes and it's because he saw me at my worst. I want to tell him but could I? What would happen once he found out it was all my fault? What would this family do to me once they found out? I know the answer to that, He would lose all trust and feelings he has for me. Who am I kidding he doesn't have feelings for me. But I know I have feelings for him, a crush of some sort. Again I don't know how I can feel strongly about someone I've known for about oh only…five hours.

If I'm going to move on I need to put all of this behind me, and only remember the good things with Rosa. I know Edward won't let this go, so if I want it in the past then I need to tell him so he to can forget about it. But how am I going to tell him? I can't lose this new start.

"Edward I want to tell you, honestly I do. But I don't know how. Once you hear you won't want to be around me anymore and I'm not sure I can handle that." I look at him, pleading at him so see the determination in my eyes. I will tell him. I promise myself I will find a way to tell him, just not tonight. I need some time to work through this.

"I will tell you, I promise I just need some time to work through this. I need to move on. And I can't do that if I tell you about it tonight, I just need to figure it out. Can you accept that?" I hope that he could.

I hoped that this made sense to him, it was sounding kind of confusing to me, but I know this is how it has to go. I can't lose the only chance at a new start. I look up into Edward's eyes, he is still holding my hands and the electric pull is stronger than before.

"Of course Bella, I wouldn't dream of pushing you into something you are not ready for. I am and always will be here for you, as I said a minute ago, I am not going anywhere." He finishes and kisses each of my hands causing a stronger shock to run through me.

It feels good, even with my guilt weighing heaving on my shoulders I can't help but feel as though this is where I belong in my life right now. I smile and blush at him. Again.

"Thank you Edward" I said

I was getting ready to leaving when what he said earlier dawned on me, "Oh and you sleep on your bed, and I can sleep on the floor." I say

As I started getting up only to be pulled back down.

"Bella will not make you sleep on the hard floor!" he growled "Ma will be back in the morning to help us set up a room for you, and Alice will probably have Jasper sneaking in, Emmett will be on the phone with his girl all night so it's my room. If you are really uncomfortable then I will go to the couch. Your Uncle won't get in tile late. So the situation is in the air tonight." he finished.

"I will not allow you to give up your bed!" I said back in a shocked, fierce tone.

I don't know how long we fought over sleeping arrangements. He even went as far as to pick me up from the floor, where I had laid down and placed me on the bed to take my spot. Back and forth we were both just as stubborn as the other. The next thing I knew Alice was bursting into the room making both of us jump.

"OH WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP BEING SO STUBBORN!? BOTH OF YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE BED! IT'S A QWEEN SIZE FOR GODS SAKE!" Alice yelled, wow she can be a scary. I glared at Edward when he started laughing at my expression.

"Oh and I'm glad you're okay Bella. LOVE YOU! Now GOOD NIGHT!" I started laughing once she closed Edward's door. I turn to face him, sending daggers with my glare. "Is she bipolar?" I asked him and he just busted up laughing "I HEARD THAT BELLA!" Alice yelled making Edward laugh so hard he was now on the ground clutching his stomach.

"Laugh it up big guy; let's see you laugh when you wake up with a black eye." I said

Edward stared at me with a horrified expression; it was my turn to laugh.

"You never know, I might punch in my sleep. And well if you don't mind Alice had a point, there is enough room for two." I said and blushed ten shades of red. I've never shared a bed with a guy before.

"Yes, if you're okay with that, then I am to." I nodded and we crawled into bed. I stayed on my side, and he stayed on his. I can do this!

"Good night Bella, sweet dreams" Edward whispered into my ear, giving me shivers. I was barely able to give a reply before the exhaustion of my day took over.

I woke up to the sun shining in on us through the many windows in his room. Hell is whole house is full of windows. I opened my eyes to see something I never thought I, Bella, would see.

Ok it's time to admit it, I'm a nervous wreck! My first day at Hays high school was today. I don't know how it was going to be. After Rosa's death I went into a dark place and became 'the' loner at my school. Every one realized that I just wanted to be left alone when I punched my closest friend, next to Rosa of course, for saying she understood how I was feeling.

I mean really how could she? Rosa wasn't her best friend, she was mine! And I was freaking tired of people sympathizing for me, saying "we understand". I mean for god's sake they didn't understand! "Ugh!" I groan. I'm supposed to be moving on, not remembering the past. I clear my head the best I can and decide to stress about what Alice is going to put me through this morning.

I reluctantly agreed to let her "make me over" for school today. I don't care how small that pixie is, she can be scary! And boy did she know how to use that to her advantage. She practically pounced on me until I told her she could make me over. There was a knock on my door, snapping me out of my thoughts so I quickly grabbed my robe and ran to my door, careful not to fall. When I opened the door I was greeted by a familiar face, though not the one I was expecting.

"Edward—what are you doing here? Where is Alice?" I asked, completely confused. Edward just smiled shyly at me.

"She said it would be easier for you to get ready in her room." Edward looked shy, why is he being shy? And then it dawned on me. I'm standing in front of him in my small robe! I can't even imagine how embarrassing this is for him. I can feel my face getting hot with blush.

"Oh um ok, let me through on some clothes and grab my things. Would you like to come in?" I asked.

I had finally made it to my own room. Sarah didn't have a spare room in her house so she gave up her office for me. I felt terrible and said I'd be okay on the couch but she wouldn't have that and Carlisle had to be on her side of course. They left the desk so that I could use it, but pushed it against the wall so a bed would fit. I like my room, it fits me surprisingly. With the old furniture and old world look I actually felt at home. I had been in my room for a week now, while I loved my room I couldn't help but think about my first night here and how well I slept. —I got to share a bed with Edward. My mind immediately went back to that first morning with him.

I used all of my restraint to not kiss his beautiful chest. I swear when we went to bed he HAD his shirt on! And I know for a fact I did NOT fall asleep in his arms! I can't complain though. This—this was heaven. I didn't know what Edward would think seeing me in his arms so I tried to wiggle my way out without waking him. Once I finally got out of his grasp, reluctantly, I decided to head down and get some breakfast before my stomach woke him.

When I walked into the kitchen I saw I wasn't the only one awake. Alice must be an early riser. I sat down on the bar stool debating on what to have for breakfast when she placed a plate in front of me. I looked down as a huge grin came across my face. It was bacon sausage, and scrambled eggs—my favorite. I looked up and smiled at Alice.

"I had a feeling you would like it. My feelings never lead me wrong Bella" she stated as a fact. I just nodded and started at my breakfast. It didn't take me long to finish and boy was it good! When I was finishing off my breakfast I noticed Alice staring at me. I took my last bite and before I could put my fork back on the plate she grabbed it and put it in the sink.

"I'm glad you're here Bella" Alice said when she turned around. She was smiling, which means she really is happy.

"Thanks Alice. I'm very thankful your mom is letting me stay here." I told her. I don't know why I told her that, it just felt necessary.

"NO! Bella I don't mean here at our house, I'm glad you came to Ohio!" she answered with a shocked expression.

"Oh ok Alice. Yea me to, I think this will be good for me." I replied looking down at the now empty table.

"Edward is happy you're here to." My head shot up. How would she know that? He was just being a good friend to me last night. It didn't mean a thing; I won't be surprised to see him kicking me out tomorrow.

"Um, ok." I said in the strongest voice I could, knowing my newest epiphany made me sad.

Alice sat down next to me and grabbed my hands, just like Edward did last night. Wow they really are twins, although they don't have a common feature among them. Edward was tall and god-like, with his messy golden hair and emerald green eyes. Alice was a tiny spiky haired pixie. I laughed which of course caused Alice to look at me as if she was debating a mental institute.

"Um Bella? I understand if you don't want to tell me. But I was wondering what happened yesterday? Ever since you got here, I've been so excited. I have a lot of friends but they only like me for our money. I noticed your selflessness the second you walked into the door. When I said I can see us being best friends I meant it. That's when I started noticing it, little things like mentioning best friends or going to a club. Whenever you heard something like that, your face fell and you looked like you were about to pass out or cry. And then you had that dream, it scared me to death. You looked so pissed yet your voice made you sound scared. When you ran out I was right behind you until Edward told me to give you a couple minutes. I couldn't stand it. You were upset, so I ordered Edward and Emmett to go and find you. I can be mean." She paused to laugh. "Bella, something happened and I just want to understand. I know we can be best friends if you want us to be." Alice finished and her face fell, sadness rushing through her features.

She was more observant then I gave her credit for. Then again I also thought I was doing okay. Before my conversation with my mom I wouldn't be caught out of my room, much less having a conversation with someone. I may have been making extreme progress but it still hurt like hell. I wanted to be Alice's best friend, I wanted to know everything would be okay. I just don't know if I could. I'm not positive I can move on; just remember the good times with Rosa instead of suffering the sad. But Alice deserved a better friend, one who isn't responsible for her best friend's death. How do I make her see that without scaring her away? I didn't want to lose Alice any less then I wanted to lose Edward. And I couldn't even tell him. I can't tell one twin a not the other, can I? It will have to be done eventually, right?

"Alice I want to be your friend, more then you know," I started and she immediately brightened up. I smiled at her, glad that I could see her happy one more time. After I tell her this, she won't want to talk to me again. "Alice, Edward asked me the same question and I told him I couldn't tell him yet. I'm terrified of telling you because I don't want to lose you. Can you please promise me that you won't tell Edward? No matter how much you will hate me?" I stopped to get her answer. She just stared at me, thinking about something.

"Bella, I could never hate you. Nothing you do will scare me away. And yes I promise not to tell Edward. I won't tell anyone unless you ask me to. I am great at keeping secrets." she nodded her head once, agreeing with herself, then motioned for me to continue when I finished laughing at my pixie.

"Alice you first need to understand that it will be hard for me to be your best friend. Not because I don't want to be but because I had one. We were inseparable and everyone thought we were twins separated at birth. Nothing got between us. Of course we had our fights, who didn't? But nothing that kept us away longer than an hour, she was in all intense and purposes my sister." I stopped to take a breath. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be talking about her.

"This is the first time you are talking about her since whatever it is happened?" Alice asked and I nodded, "What was her name Bella?" she asked me quietly, almost afraid.

"Rosa Alice loetes [A/N pronounced low-tez]" I whispered her full name. I wanted her to know why it was hard to be around her, she gasped "We have the same name, or middle name. Bella is that why it's hard for you?" she must be physic.

"Yes Alice, every time I look at you, I see her. You two don't look alike, but you're both breathtakingly beautiful. And she had your name. I just, I was in a bad place before I came here. This is my first time out of my house in Portland since the…accident. I ran last night to get rid of the pain, you guys don't deserve this and I sure as hell don't want you to see me how I was at home. I didn't decide to move here Alice. My mom asked me to so that I could possibly live again and look alive." I paused remembering the conversation I had with my mom.

"What…happened Bella?" Alice asked

I took a deep breath and began, "On day, about three months ago, Rosa came over. It was nothing new she was over all the time. Her parents didn't care about her, so I liked to say she lived with me. Anyways a couple weeks before, she went to this place called Raw Space. It wasn't till I got a call saying she was in the hospital that I realized what the place really was. Raw Space was far from what you would call a club. It was underground and full of drug dealers. I guess someone there slipped her something and she OD, I thought she died but she was just comatose. A week later she woke up and I made her promise me she wouldn't go back to that place. She agreed, or so I thought. A couple days before her…murder, she met a guy, Rick, and he wanted to take her to back to the club. The night she die, that day she came over and she asked me to go with her so that I wouldn't hate her for going. That's when I lost it; I mean how could she even want to go back there? They almost killed her, and she wanted to go back?!" I stopped to catch my breath. I didn't need to wake the whole house with my yelling. I looked up and saw Alice on the verge of tears.

"I can stop if you want me to—"

"No don't stop Bella" Alice said

"I flipped out on her, we were yelling at each other for hours it seemed like. Finally my mom came home and she heard the yelling. We wouldn't tell her what it was about so she said Rosa needed to leave, that we just needed a break. We were still pissed at each other when she left, but I didn't think she would go to the club. It was around midnight and I got a text from Rosa's phone," I stopped tears flowing down my eyes now. "The text said that she was in danger and that she needed help. That's when I realized she broke her promise. If I wasn't so mad maybe I could have gotten there sooner. I don't know, but I did manage to get to Raw Space and find her. I just wasn't expecting to find what I did. I opened the door to where I was told she was, and she—she was on the ground—bloody" I stopped sobbing, I didn't know how I to continue, I saw Rosa's poor body slumped on the floor still fighting for her life.

Alice reached over and pulled me into a hug, "I didn't know it was this bad, if you can't tell me I understand Bella." I shook my head and sobbed into her hair.

"No Alice I need to finish, this might be what I need. Just bear with me." She nodded so I began again.

"Her boyfriend Rick was standing over her, with blood on his hands, he was—he was holding a gun. I thought it was only them in the room but the next thing I knew, my arms were being grabbed and held behind my back. Keeping me there staring at my best friend being killed. I didn't see who was holding me and I didn't really care at the time…Rick was talking. He said it was my fault, he said that if I hadn't interfered before this would have already been done. I got confused when he said that so he explained that he was the one who drugged Ro a couple weeks before. She said no to him and he didn't take no for an answer, so he drugged her and she still got away. He was pissed and set on getting her, when he saw her in town a couple days before he went up to her and pretended that they never met before. He got her to go back to the club but she still said no. he said the words you thought you could only hear in movies, 'if I can't have her, then no one can' I couldn't believe what was happening. I screamed at the top of my lungs hoping someone would hear us. Luck wasn't on my side just yet. After, he told me that it was all my fault, if I hadn't made her mad then she would have said yes, so he used her phone and texted me so I could witness her death. He shot her six times. I can still see it like I was standing right there. Rosa, my best friend was murdered because of me! The one time I didn't want to be saved, the time I wanted to be with Ro over anything was the time I couldn't. Someone walked in and saw what happened. Before Rick could stop him the cops were on the phone. I was free, but so was Rick.

He escaped. I testified in court even though there was no one to convict." I stopped glad the worst of it was over, all I had to do was face Alice, and be ready to say goodbye.

"My best friend died because of me! If I wasn't so stupid she would still be alive, and my mom's heart wouldn't be broken. That's what I was thinking about yesterday. It was my entire fault, and I would do anything to take it back. Then I saw yours, Emmett's, and Edward's faces. I fell in love with you and your family the second I laid eyes on you guys. I understand if you don't want to be my friend any more Alice. What I did was horrible and I will live with it forever. I decided last night that I need to move on. I can't keep hurting the people I love. That's why I didn't tell Edward, I didn't want to hurt him; I didn't want to lose him. I wasam selfish." I finished not knowing what else to say. I sat there waiting for the yelling to begin.

Alice pulled me off the stool and dragged me to her bathroom. "That girl, in the mirror is the least selfish person I've met. She did not murder her best friend, and she shouldn't have any guilt. Nothing and no one will take her from me. She is my friend, and I will do anything in my power to show her how wrong she is." Alice said to my reflection.

I was speechless. I can't get one word to form in my head, so I turned around and hugged her. She hugged me back until I finished crying. She really was a good friend, she was there for me, and didn't hate me for what I did. I know I don't deserve her, but I couldn't find it in myself to lose her either.

"Bella, just so you know, Edward adores you. I know he would think just like me on this one. If you want to tell him, know that you can. I know you just met us, but you are a part of our family and not only because of Carlisle. The moment you stepped into our home looking so lost and sad, all three of us knew you were a keeper and we wanted to help you feel happy again." Alice whispered in my ear. I didn't really catch most of it, or any of it once she said Edward adores me.

Alice and I spent the day together…shopping. I promised myself to never go shopping with Alice again. She bought me way too much and we were at the mall for hours. I didn't get a chance to see Edward today so I decided to bring him up to Alice.

"Hey Alice, do you think Edward is mad at me?" I asked and she looked at me I just slapped her.

"What makes you think that Bella?" I just shrugged.

"Well, this might be hard to believe, but Edward is a loner. He doesn't talk to anyone other than us, and at school he is always alone unless one of us sits by him." I stared at her in shock. How could Edward, hottest guy on the planet be a loner? Alice must have seen my shocked expression and answered me. "Edward has a past too Bella, he doesn't let people in and eventually people gave up on trying."

I nodded, and started thinking about what could have happened to cause Edward to be a loner.

"Bella?" Edward said and I was brought back to reality.

Okay I am sorry for not updating sooner! It has been a very long couple of months. Moving into my Apartment, and a whole lot of Real Life. Not to mention I need to be in the right mood to write, writer block sucks.

Therefore I added a lot of detail to this chapter and made it longer than most. :D so I hope you enjoy it. Sorry if there are any grammar errors, I tried to catch them all.

Let me know what you think, I'll be working on the next chapter to Hall of Fame as well as this story so I'm hope your still hanging in there.
