I would really like some nice reviews to make me write faster, but if you don't want any updates, that's okay…

I looked up into Edward's eyes and knew that I wanted to stay there for ever, and ever. I also knew that this would never work. He was over one hundred year old! I knew that anyone that I told would think that I was crazy, and have me locked up. I looked up again, and Edward must have realized that he was still holding onto me set me on my feet again.

Edward quickly looked away, probably embarrassed at what had passed between us in those few seconds of contact. I wondered if he would acknowledge that he felt anything, or if it was just me.

Instead he started over to the trail that we were heading to before I graced him with my clumsiness. I hurried to catch up, almost falling again in the process.

As he reached the trail Edward turned to wait patiently for me to catch up. For an 'old man' he could sure move at the speed of light. As I reached him he spoke a few words to me in a low voice, "Bella, how old are you?"

The question startled me, and I answered automatically, "Seventeen,"

"Well as you know I am 104 years old. I was born in Chicago in 1901 to Elizabeth and Edward Masen Sr. When I was seventeen, your age now, they died of the influenza epidemic in 1918. When were you born, Bella?"

Wow, he actually wanted me to saw something for our conversation, not like the other residents at the home. I looked at the trees that were growing all around us, some trees were old, some were young, but they were all here, they would all remain here, they would all live for a long time after we were all gone.

"Well," I started slowly, "I was born on September 13, in 1987. I was actually born in Forks, but Renee, I mean, my mom hated Forks and left six months after I was born. After Charlie and my mom got divorced we moved to California. We lived there for a while, but Renee is the type of person that doesn't stay in one place for long, or set down a lot of roots to keep her attached." I went on to tell Edward all about my childhood and all of the people I knew. I only tripped a couple more times, and even though Edward caught me nothing was like the first occasion. I ended by telling him that Renee had, once again, packed up and left, and I went to Charlie to give her time alone with her new husband, Phil. I topped it all off with my childish complaint about having to go to a public school, and hoe it may wound me for life. After my long rant I realized that the whole time we had been walking Edward had never said a thing, leaving me to vent out all my anger and frustration.

I looked over to Edward who was walking beside me, head ducked, absorbing everything I said like a sponge. It took me a moment to understand that he had let me say all this to know me better, and to just find out anything I wanted to tell him about myself.

"So what about you?" I demanded, somewhat put out by the fact that he had barely told me a thing about himself in the hour we had walked.

"Me?" he asked, all innocence playing in his voice. "I have nothing interesting that happened to me."

He looked serious enough, but no one's life is interesting in their own eyes. "Well tell me everything anyway. I can decide what is interesting."

"Not today, you need to get home, and so do I." he winked like he knew that he would get in trouble, which he most likely would, and led the way to the car.

We didn't talk on the return trip, but when we entered the parking lot Edward let out a low whistle, when he saw the car that the Cullen kids were crowded around. "Told you it was fine." He said- as though I could want a car like that to drive around!

It was shiny, yellow, and looked like it could go 200 miles per hour with relative ease. Alice immediately attacked me with a volley of questions all about the new car they had bought for me.

"So Bella, isn't it just perfect?!"

How could I say no to such a happy face? "Yeah, Alice, but don't you think if was a little much?"

"No, silly, you needed a way to get to school, and we provided one. I feel like we are going to be great friends! Wanna go shopping this weekend?"

"Maybe," I hedged. "I have to do stuff…"

Her face dropped so fast I thought it would keep going untill it reached the ground. I was sorry I had caused her pain- if you could get that from someone refusing to go shopping with you. "Possibly, I really do have to check to see. I'll tell you if I can go."

"YES, a new shopping buddy Rose!" this statement seemed to be directed at the stunningly beautiful girl who had walked up without me noticing. She had long blond hair, and the same strange eyes as all the other members of the Culen family that I had met.

The one I took to be Rose smiled at me saying, "Firstly, I'm sorry about your truck, and secondly you will be sorry that you agreed to go shopping with Alice." Oh god that did not sound good.

"Okay Bella, see you tomorrow at school, we'll save you a seat at lunch, you'll also be able to meet Emmett and Jasper. They are dying to see you."

Something Alice said made Rose crack into a broad smile, reveling stunningly bright teeth. She then dragged Alice to their car, where she was still yelling about how much fun tomorrow would be. Joy.

I looked over to Edward, who was smiling and shaking his head slowly. "Well Bella, you must be getting home. See you tomorrow after noon; unless Alice kills you of course."

He opened my car door while I got in. After a few minutes of adjusting the seat, the previous driver was much shorter, starting the engine, and calling out a 'goodbye' to Edward as he waved me off, I was on the road for home.

On the drive I was thinking about my revelation I had found for love. As I passed under a large tree a terrible thought came to my mind. Edward was already 104; he was, without a doubt, nearing the end of his life. What was I to do when he was gone? He was one of the only people that I knew, and the person that I was closest to here. All these thoughts left my head as soon as I pulled in the drive, as the two people that I most did not want to see were clearly here.

Positioned on the street was an old pile of junk that Billy and Jacob had somehow gotten to run. I pulled in dreading the conversation that was imminent in my night to come…

So I hope you liked that, but how do I know unless you all review? I know it's a pain, but f you want to say anything just write if in a review!
