I loved the thirst. As I drank the blood, it was like I couldn't stop. Not that I couldn't, but that I didn't want to. Blood was my alcohol, and Edward was my drug; as I was his. With my teeth in Edwards skin, was liking nothing ever before.

"Bella, my love. You have to stop, your killing me. STOP!" I could hear Edward speak, but I didn't want to listen. I needed his blood, there was no stopping. I watched Alice walk into the room, she hissed and then shot at me; she was by my side in an instance.

"Bella, your killing Edward. Stop. Remember. You LOVE him. STOP!" Oh my god. What was I doing? This was my Edward and I was killing him because I'm a selfish blood-sucking monster.I must stop. This is my husband, I have to stop killing him. I know I can do this. I slowly took my teeth out of his neck, it was hard, but for my Edward I'd do absolutely anything. I sat back and wiped my mouth. I looked at the blood on the back of my hand; I watched Alice and Rosalie each slowly give Edward a bit of their blood. After I finished licking the blood off my hand. I waited for Rosalie and Alice to leave.

I always seem to end up replaying it in my head when I was alone. I could hear Edward coming up the stairs, I smiled and turned over on my side so I could see him come in. He came and sat in front of me.

"Why are you up here love? We're going to see Charlie today, remember" He stroked my cheek. I smiled.

"I know, I just wanted a lie down for a minute. I mean sense I can't sleep I mine as well pretend." I got up, stretching. "Just let me change." He stood up to go back downstairs. Even though he was my husband. He still gave me some privacy. "Edward?" He turned back. "I love you."

"I love you to my darling Bella." He smiled and then before I could blink he was gone. I turned toward the large open windows. My bag of clothes on the floor, I went to it picking out something Charlie would recognize me in. Something I would never dare to wear now. It smelt like me, but in a different way. I quickly stripped off to my underwear and bra, then pulled on my other clothes. I walked to the mirror to see my reflection. Wow, maybe these clothes weren't so bad, nawww, there not me.

I went slower to get dressed, usually I'd use my vampire speed, but not this time. I brushed my hair. I brushed my teeth, only cause the toothpaste is refreshing in my mouth. Put some fruity lip-gloss on that I got from Alice, grabbed my bag, and went downstairs to meet Edward.

[At Charlie's, only minutes before Bella and Edward arrive]

There going to be here soon I have to finish cleaning. I kept trying so hard to pick up everything; I didn't want Bella to think I couldn't make it without here. I hope they love my surprise. Actually I wonder when the surprise will get here. I smiled to myself, and then ran upstairs to brush my teeth and make sure my bed was made. Then I ran back down to the kitchen to make sure there weren't left over dishes because I knew Bella would say something and then clean it up.

I know I usually get visits from them, but it was going to be different this time. I could feel it. I heard a car door slam and talking outside. I scurried to the window. Good there here, damn, the surprise isn't.

I ran to the front door, waiting a couple seconds after the knock. Then opened it. I opened the door to find my darling daughter, look as gorgeous as ever. At first, I wouldn't even guess it was her. With Edward next to her, it really did look like they weren't meant to be. They looked like a couple from an Abercrombie and Fitch catalogue, not that Bella would buy anything from that.

I opened my arms out towards her. "Bella hunny. You look fantastic; come here my one and only daughter." When she came into me she smelled amazing, like perfume mixed with lilacs and strawberries. "Edward." He nodded toward me. Wow, guess you are the one for her. I looked at him and he smiled at me.

"Well don't stand out here, come in come in please." I led them to the couch where I already had water and snack sitting on the table. Where is that freakin' surprise. "Have a seat. How have you guys been?"

When Bella opened her mouth to speak, I could see her teeth. They were white as pearls, maybe even whiter. "We've been good. What have you been up to?"

"Well, not much. Working." I was still in awestruck. "Bella, your so different. I know its been two months, but you look amazingly gorgeous."

Edward smiled at Bella then looked up at me. "Enough about us Charlie. What's new with you?"

"Nothing to much there Edward-"We all looked to the door when we heard a car door slam. Finally that damn surprise. "Just a second guys, I have a surprise for you." I looked back at them when I went to the door, Edward a frozen statue and a scared look, and Bella trying to figure out why. I opened the door, to see the surprise of my life, and Bella's life waiting. I went back to the living room.

"Bella. Edward. I'd like you to meet Susan, my new fiancée." She walked around the corner, and Bella and Edward froze. They didn't freeze in excitement; they froze like they were protecting one another.

"Hi, I'm Susan."

[On the way back to the Cullen's.]

I hated him. I hated Charlie, he couldn't even tell me when I didn't see him he had a girlfriend. How long? I hate him. Edward sat driving as I yelled. "WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? I WAS GONE FOR TWO MONTHS AND HE GETS A NEW GIRLFRIEND, AND NOW A FIANCEE. SHES NOT EVEN THAT PRETTY."

"Bella?"

"WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? IM HIS ONLY DAUGHTER AND HE CANT EVEN TELL ME. I BET RENEE KNEW BEFORE ME AND THEM TWO BARELY TALK." I could feel his worried glare burning into my cheek.

"Bella love? This will be fine."

"Edward, I'm not that mad, but i don't know. I feel like I know her, that's why I'm so angry!" I looked down at my hands, then back up to Edward. "I know it will be fine, but I'm still really angry."

"Sorry Bella, I was to in shock to read her mind, or either of there's. I was as stunned as you were. Charlie was keeping it pretty well kept in his head."

I closed my eyes. Who is she? I know her. Who is she? That's when it came to me. "EDWARD. I KNOW WHO SHE IS! GO BACK. NOW!"
