Quick AN: Thanks for the reviews and alerts guys! I really appreciate it! Oh by the way, I've explained certain things in this chapter to answer a dear reviewer's question regarding Bella's shield ;)

Previously…

Knock. Knock. Knock.

I really hope Carlisle and Esme don't recognize me.

Chapter 4

Bella's POV

A mixture of emotions hit me. I was anxious because Esme and Carlisle might recognize me. But I was also happy because at least I'm friends with them all and I don't have to avoid them. But then again, I am hiding who I was from them… so that's not good. And let's not forget that I'm pathetically jealous. Jealous everyday, jealous every time I see Edward with Sabine. Ah! I'm so confused! I don't know what to feel right now.

"Aha! I knew I felt someone anxious enough to pass out!" it was Jasper who answered the door and he was laughing at us.

I looked at him with wide eyes. Shit. He felt me. Wait, no! Jasper can't feel my emotions. My shield can protect me physically and mentally. No one can affect me, not Jasper, not Edward nor Justin, not even Alice can see me. I was mentally protected by my shield 24/7; but for physical attacks, I have to put my shield 'up'. Luckily I've done just that before we left our house.

I regained myself and laughed with him. It was Philip whom he was talking about. I grinned at him and stepped inside the house.

"Ho ho ho, well well well, if it isn't my little sister and her little boyfriend," Emmet boomed, greeting us.

The rest of my family came inside and we were all greeted with hi's and hello's again. Edward came into the living room with Sabine, hand in hand.

I sighed.

I have decided...decided that I still do feel love for him and that being jealous was part of the deal. He has obviously gotten over me. I would just have to put on a happy face and pretend for the rest of eternity that everything's peachy. Great, that's not too hard.

I thanked my lucky stars that Jasper couldn't feel me. My emotions was probably enough to make him commit suicide.

"Carlisle, Esme, these are the Deweys. This right here is Jane, and I'm assuming the one clinging to her is Philip," Alice giggled, introducing us. "These are Lisa and Kevin and I'm also assuming that they are Kate and Justin."

I was frozen as I looked at Carlisle and Esme. They gave me polite looks and nodded. Pft! So much for remembering me!

"Hello Carlisle, Esme, it's a pleasure to meet you," I smiled at them sincerely. God how I missed them both. "You assumed right Alice. These are our parents, Kate and Justin; and this is my boyfriend, Philip," I motioned the two forward to meet them.

"Hello, thank you so much for inviting us over," Kate said.

"Oh no dear, it's our pleasure. We've heard a lot of good things about your kids," Esme returned.

"So have we," Justin said, now turning to Carlisle, "it looks like our families will get along great!"

"It appears so!" Carlisle said, laughing.

My siblings and I walked over to the Cullens 'kids'.

"Hey, umm, err, this is Philip, my boyfriend," I said awkwardly. I know Emmet and Jasper would want to have their fun.

"Philip, this is Alice."

"Pleasure to meet my girl's sister, Alice," Philip said, reaching behind his back and getting out a single pink stargazer and handing it over to her. I pursed my lips, trying to hold back my amusement.

"Thank you Philip!" Alice exclaimed.

"This is Rosalie, or Rose."

"Honored to meet another of my girl's sisters," he said, pulling this time a huge red rose, fully bloomed from behind his back.

"Wow! Thank you!" She said and I can tell she was touched by the gesture.

"This is Sabine, she is Edward's girlfriend. She's not really related to the Cullens like Rose or Alice but she's family anyway," I told him, looking at Sabine with a smile.

His eyes widened at the same time as Sabine's, but only for a fraction of a second. Weird. They both composed themselves and Philip went on to greet her.

"Pleasure, Sabine," he said pulling out a yellow carnation.

"Pleasure's all mine," she said, taking the flower.

Neither of their greetings was as warm as Alice's or Rosalie's. What the hell was that?

"This is Esme, as you know."

"Pleasure's all mine Esme," Philip said as he took out a white tulip and gave it to her.

"Thank you so much Philip!" Esme exclaimed.

I couldn't help it this time. Alright I was intensely distracted by Philip and Sabine's reactions, but it was not enough to stop me from bursting into hysterics!!

"What?!" Emmet, Jasper, Edward and Philip demanded at the same time.

"I'm sorry… it's...just... so funny," I said, in between breaths.

"I told him that you were going 'judge' him and now he's sucking up!" I told them, laughing again. They laughed with me when they understood.

"Hahaha! He better be nervous dude!" Emmet teased.

"By the way, these are Emmet, Jasper, Edward and Carlisle," I told Philip.

"Pleasure."

"So let's get down to business. Jane, do you mind if we borrow little Philip here for a while?" Jasper said mockingly.

"Not at all! Go ahead," I said grinning.

"Thanks a lot Jane, you're feeding me to the wolves," Philip said sarcastically.

I stopped smiling and faced him. "They're not wolves, Philip." I told him seriously.

"Emmet's a grizzly bear and Jasper's a great white shark!" Emmet and Jasper and I burst out laughing again.

"Thanks, that made me feel so much better," he said, rolling his eyes to me.

"Don't worry babe, if they start torturing you, yell for me," I told him as my two brothers dragged him away.

We went over to the couch and sat down.

"I'm sorry but I just have to ask. Have I met you before Jane?" Carlisle suddenly asked.

I got caught off guard and I turned to him with wide eyes.

"Yes dear, I was just wondering the same," Esme added.

NO! They couldn't have possibly figured it out already!!

"Wh-what?" I stuttered.

"It's just you look somewhat familiar," Carlisle said to me, tilting his head to one side.

Oh God. Oh God!

"Oh, well, but I HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE!!… I—I have been living in Canada!" I spat, practically shouting at them.

"Jane, darling, what's the matter with you?" Kate gave me a what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you-child? look then turned to the Cullens who were staring weirdly at me. Shit.

"Well, maybe she just looks like someone you know Carlisle. Jane has been with us ever since and I'm sure we've never met before," Kate told him.

"Oh, well you're probably right," Carlisle said, looking at me again then turning to my parents.

The 'grown-ups' talked amongst them and us 'kids 'talked amongst ourselves.

Lisa and Kevin told them stories about our life in Canada and I would correct their faulty details from time to time.

"Once, Lisa and I tried to set up Jane with 'someone'", Kevin said, winking. I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe you're telling this story!"

"Shut up Jane, anyway, Lisa and I met this other veggie vamp while hunting who seemed great and good looking so we thought 'why not?' right? Little did we know that he was one of those desperate-for-a-mate freaks. We went back to the house to introduce them when Jane walked out the front door, reading a book. Then all of the sudden, the guy TACKLED her to the ground saying something about love at first sight," Kevin just about burst into hysterics.

I crossed my arms and stuck out my tongue at him. Of course, the Cullens found this to be priceless. THANK GOD Emmet wasn't here.

"Anyway, anyway," Lisa continued since Kevin was beyond being capable of talking, "Kevin 'zapped' him off her and told him that if he was going to be like that, that it wouldn't work out. He left… eventually," Lisa said finally bursting into hysterics as well.

"What do you mean 'eventually'", Edward asked.

"That stupid idiot followed me around for half a year carrying bouquets of flowers and singing out-of-tune serenades! HALF A YEAR! No thanks to my siblings!!!!" I shouted at them. "It was awful!"

The Cullens + Sabine just snickered while my brother and sister just ignored me.

Edward, Alice and Rose also told us some stories from before they've moved back to Forks, and after they've abandoned me, but no need to add that.

"Oh God, do you remember Tanya?! (scoffing) She couldn't leave him aloooooone even after Edward and I became a thing. She pissed me off so I bitch slapped her and told her to stay the hell away from my man!" Sabine suddenly told us, rather proudly, feeling the need to come up with a story like ours. Wow. I haven't noticed before. She was a really, really awful story teller.

Alice and Rose just mumbled "oh yes…" dismissing it.

Aside from that, they also found out more about our abilities, not to mention now they know I can cry. Hmpf. Edward thought that was funny. Hmpf!

I listened to them continuously talk and I sneaked in a few glances at Edward. He looked happy. Well, I'm glad, I guess. At least he was. I also looked at Sabine. I don't think I hate her, we've become friends but, sometimes, there's that feeling inside me that wants to rip her hand off her wrist for holding Edward!

I looked away and sighed.

Eternity is going to be a long time to sit around pretending to look happy.

Edward's POV

I heard Jane sigh and looked at her. She was staring far out the window. There's something familiar about her, something special, I kept thinking to myself. I shook my head. I have Sabine! I should be happy damn it! So why the hell am I not?!

I looked down. I think I might feel something for Jane. Maybe that's why when I saw Philip's arm around her; I wanted to kick him in the back off a cliff.

Hmm, speaking of Philip…

"What's her favorite color?!" "BLUE!!"

"What's her favorite blood?!" "BLACK BEAR'S!!!"

"What type of music does she like?!" "ROCK AND RNB!"

Jasper and Emmet were still interrogating him and bombarding him with questions about Jane while he answers them like he's taking a psychology test where you have to answer the first word that comes into your mind. I chuckled internally.

We all had a good time talking to each other. We found out more about the Deweys and they found out more about us.

"Come on kids, we still have to prepare for our trip tomorrow," Kate said.

"You guys are going on a trip?" Rose asked, curious. I was curious too.

"Yes, we're running up to Canada to meet some of my old friends and we're taking up the whole weekend," Justin explained.

"Oh, I see, you have fun, and I'll see you guys on Monday," I turned to look at the Dewey siblings.

"Yeah, thanks for a great time," Lisa said, wounding her arm around Kevin.

"Bye! See you all in school!" Kevin waved back as he was practically out the door.

"Bye. Nice to meet you Carlisle, Esme," Jane bid, looking at our parents.

"It was our pleasure dear," Esme said back.

Jane smiled then shouted, "Emmet! Jasper! I need him back you know!"

I chuckled when I saw Em and Jazz holding Philip's wrists towing him towards Jane.

"I think he'll know better than to mess with you now that we're done with him," Jasper said, winking at Jane while Emmet roared, laughing.

She rolled her eyes at them and they left.

I like the Deweys. I can feel that Kate and Justin will be great friends with us. I like their kids too… Jane especially. There's something about her though…Esme trailed off in her thoughts.

Hmm, Jane really does looks familiar… I'm not sure… Carlisle thought as well.

So, I wasn't the only one who thought about Jane like that. I wasn't able to read the minds of my brothers and sisters on the first day… I wonder what they thought… I have to ask them about that sometime.

Edward, now that company's gone, what do you say to having some private time with me? Sabine thought.

"Sure thing, love." I stalked her and pinned her to the wall, crushing my lips onto hers. Her hands were like snakes behind me. I pulled back to look at her face. My eyes widened when I saw Jane's face instead. I crushed my lips against hers again, with more force, more passion.

Whoo. I was starting to feel he was ignoring me for Jane. I must be hallucinating. The thought came from the woman I was kissing.

I pulled back again and I was confused at whom I saw. It was Sabine. Wait, of course it was Sabine. Who else would it be? ....... Jane. I was thinking of her while I was kissing Sabine. Agh! Why? Why? WHY?!

"I'm sorry love, I think I have to step out and take a run around the woods," I pulled away from her, heading towards the door.

"But Edward, we were just getting star--" I didn't give her the chance to finish. I was already out, running aimlessly, trying to clear my head.

The weekend passed on like it took years. Sabine wasn't very warm to me seeing as I've stopped our 'make out session'.

I sighed. She would get over it.

What I was really looking forward to was that today was Monday.

I would see Jane today.
