Bella's POV

When I got home, I unloaded my truck and put all the groceries away.

After that surprisingly short task, I headed upstairs to wait for Edward. He would be done hunting soon, and then he promised to come straight to my house.

I didn't have to wait long before he was there. He came in through my open window. I rushed over to hug him. In his cold embrace, all irritation from earlier was forgotten.

"I missed you. Did you miss me?" I looked up at him.

"I promised I would. And I did." He looked down at me and caressed my cheek softly.

"Good." I snuggled into his arms furthur, resting my head against his chest.

He picked me up and carried me over to my bed, sitting me down next to him.

"What did you do while I was gone?" He inquired softly, playing with my hair.

I sat up straighter, excited to tell him my story.

"Well, I went to the grocery store. It took forever and it was aggravating, but guess who I ran into? Literally," I added, laughing.

"Who?" He grinned my favorite crooked grin.

"A new vampire! Can you believe that?"

He stiffened beside me.

"What? What did I say?" I was confused. Was this bad news?

"A newborn? Bella, do you realize how much danger you put yourself in everyday? I can't believe I left and let you come into harm like that."

I could hear the worry in his stern voice.

"No, no. Not a newborn. Just a new vampire. One that we haven't met before. Me, at least anyway."

"Bella, love, how do you know this new vampire wasn't a newborn?"

"His eyes were topaz."

Edward's eyebrows shot up. Probably from surprise. Not only was Daniel a vegetarian vampire, but he wasn't even thirsty when he met me. Maybe I'm not as much of a danger magent as Edward insists.

"His eyes were topaz?"

"Yes."

He got up from the bed, walking over to my window where he hummed in thought.

I decided to give as many details as I could.

"I actually almost ran him over with my cart. Then when I was trying to open the door, I couldn't because my hands were full but he opened the door from me. It startled me and I dropped a bag, which he picked up and carried for me. He helped me put all my groceries in my cart. He reminded me of you, a little bit, helping me out like that. I asked him why he was in Forks and he said it was because he heard about you and wanted to join your coven. His name is Daniel."

By this time, Edward had stopped his 'pacing' and returned to sit next to me.

"Did he offer the fact that he was a vampire?" Edward's voice was laced with stress.

"Uh, no. I guessed." I was very confused. Why wasn't Edward happy about a new vegetarian vampire?

He hummed again. This was getting very annoying. His response was different than I thought it would be.

"What?!" I snapped.

"Nothing. It's just impossible," he said simply.

"What?"

"If there was a vampire looking to join our coven, we would know about it. Either Alice would've had a vision, or we would have been informed some other way."

Was it just me, or was his tone a little condescending?

"Are you saying you don't believe me?" My voice rose at the end, all the agitation from earlier today coming back full force.

"I'm saying, if there was another vampire in town, we would have known about it. Your new friend probably just looks a lot like us."

Was Edward seriously accusing me of lying?!

"Not possible. I asked him if he was a vampire and he said yes."

Edward's eyes narrowed, flints of anger visible.

"Why, Bella? Why would you do that? Why must you risk exposing us like that? If he hadn't been a vampire, what would you have done then, hmm? Do you think about these things?" Edward may not have been yelling in volume, but his tone certainly made it seem like he was.

"But I knew that he was a vampire. He was pale, beautiful, cold, and had topaz eyes." I could feel tears of anger threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"If he was a vampire, why was he at the grocery store?"

"He didn't buy food, Edward."

"What did he buy then?" He countered.

I growled. I was getting really fed up. Why was he acting this way? Edward has never been outrightly mean to me, and he's never accused me of lying.

"I don't know, Edward! Household items, or something! I don't know, ok! All I know if that he was a vampire, I know he was, and he wants to join you guys! Get it through your thick head and stop accusing me of lying, or leave me alone!" As soon as the angry words escaped my mouth, I regretted them.

"Fine," he said. As quick as the words were spoken, he was gone.

"Edward?" I cried out. No response. I screamed and threw myself into my bed. Tears poured out of my eyes. Tears of anger, tears of rejection, tears of loneliness, tears of regret.

Why didn't he believe me? Why did I yell at him?

Why? Why? Why?
