Chapter 4

I wore my top model white long sleeved top with tight white pants, my white trainers and my white trainers had a black tick on them.

I went straight for the fitness room down stairs I tied my curled hair up in a pony tail and wrapped around my fists the white tape.

My schedule was simple 3 hours boxing / kick boxing 3 hours on the tread mill 2 hours doing crunches 3 hours of weights for the arms and 40 minutes of skipping. That always helped me to go to sleep at night, go figure.

I walked up the stairs slowly regaining my breath then I heard it downstairs

"Billy I understand that but we did say 1 year before Isabella's and Jacobs wedding" 1 year!

"Billy you know Isabella she is never going to agree with 6 months"

That was all I need to hear I headed straight back down to the gym to get rid of my anger.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

I got dressed for today in my Black floral neck shrug top with Dark blue sierra bootcut jeans and Black sintalon suit jacket with Hoof toe ankle boots. My hair was curled and then tied up. My earrings were Silver polished cross.

"You ok" Seth asked me while we were in the car

"I guess why" I asked confused

"It's just your dad says you didn't come out of the gym until 2:00 in the morning"

was I in there for that long?

"O"

"Don't 'O' me Bella what happened last night that got you so ticked?"

"Nothing Seth" I sighed "Just drop it yes?" I said smoothly and nicly

"Sure Bells" he nodded "So how's Romeo doing" I growled and Seth laughed I chuckled myself finding the humor in it strangly.

My last class of the day was English. Edward hadn't come in today not that I saw him with his family but the little spiked haired girl kept on looking at me strangely. I shook it off not really caring.

"Now we're going to continue with…" the teacher stopped when Edward walked in his eyes looking lighter than yesturdays

"I'm sorry again" he said giving the female teacher a smile

"T-that's fine take a seat" she replied smiling back at him, I rolled my eyes. There was only one word for it Gulible.

"Now we're going to give parts today for the play Romeo and Juilet" I sighed remebering yesturday "Now Mike you'll be playing Benvolio"

"But his charcter doesn't fight" Mike whined, Teenaged boys were weird

"Tyler will be playing Mercutio, Jessica and Lauran I'm still thinking about considering there still in hospital, Angela you'll be playing the maid of Jiulet" Angela smiled at me I replied I liked Angela a lot she was a nice girl. "Eric will be playing" he kept on murmiring Tybalt "one of the Montigues" he huffed into his chair I smiled slightly "Tybalt will be played by Emmett in the other class" I heard Edward grunt "and that's it for now, but don't worry you'll all have parts" she gave us the script to rehearse

"Isabella and Edward I'll need you two to practise more than anyone ok? I need this play perfect"

I looked over the script

"Have you read this before?" he asked suddenly it was only when I looked at him did I realize he was already looking at me

"Only once, but you can hardly forget the words"

"You don't like it" he asked surprised

I shook my head "I think it's pathetic in a way, when Romeo first starts out in the book he's completely obsessed with this other girl but then once he sees Juilet at the ball it's lust he feels not love"

"You don't believe in love at first sight"

"No, there's no such thing like I said, it's just lust that the characters are base on, in my personal opinion there behaving like children, wanting something they cannot have, it's an unhealthy relationship that should have never started"

"But what about the end the parents reunite, their deaths made them realize how hurtful this all is"

"In any situation they did it to resolve deaths in the family, they're trying to be the bigger person and forget it but the damge is already done the Capulaets have lost a cousin and a daughter the montogues have lost a frind and son, it's all a pathetic attempt to set the peace with something that can never be healed"

he looked at me astonished the bell rang, finally

"Would you like to acconampy my house this afternoon to practice?"

I looked at him confused didn't he know what I was? Who my father was?

"Unless you don't want to" he added quickly

"Em, yes sorry that would be great, now?"

"Yes why not?"

"Ok" I nodded "Let me just drop Seth off and I'll meet you at your house"

"Do you know where I live?" He asked chuckling

"This is Forks Edward" I rolled my eyes smiling

"Soooo, heard you talked to Edward today"

"So?" I replied to Seth, we were just coming up to his house

"Don't so me, what did you say to him" He asked smiling

"Nothing just talked about the project and that's it, here we are"

he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car

"Seth" I shouted I got the window down so he could poke his head in

"Yes" he said hopefully

"You forgot your lunch bag" I said chuckiling

he grunted something

"You better not kiss your mother with that mouth"

he stuck one finger in the air

"Seth!" Mrs Clearwater had just come out

"It wasn't the finger you thought mum"

"Nonesence get to your room and stay there for this evening" she pulled him inside the door she waved goodbye to me and I waved back.

I was half way to the Cullen's and I was still trying to figure out why he wanted me there.

Was it a trap? Don't be silly Bella.

I pulled up to the great white mansion on top of the hills Edward had come out to greet me

"Hi Isabella"

"Hey Edward and could you stop it with the Isabella, it's just Bella"

"very well, Bella it is"

He led me up stairs passing a photo I didn't quite understand

"Picasso" he said

"It's all over the head with me" he laughed, I'd never heard him laugh before it was like angels bells, stop it Bella. Come to think of it Edward seemed more at ease here he wasn't uncomfortable he was showing himself to me more

"And em my family, well my mother really, want to make you something" he stroked the back of his head and looked at me embaressed

"It's fine Edward, but they didn't need to"

He scoffed "Just wait until you meet them" he smiled sheepishly

He had brought me into the wide living room which was connected to the kitchen when I saw all of the Cullens apart from two.

"Bella" a woman with mahogony hair greeted me with a smile "We're making Italian for you"

"O thanks" I smiled sheepishly tucking a piece of hair at the back of my hair

"Bella this is my mother Esme, my father Carlisle"

"I've met you beforw at the hospital" he smiled

"My brother Emmett" the big bulky one who was currently smashing some chicken waved to me with the rolling pin "And this is Rosile who is Emmett's girlfriend"

she nodded and continued chopping

"Hey Bella" The pixie girl from the cafeteria came up to me and gave me some flowers she kissed me on both the cheeks

"Wow you do smell nice"

"Alice what are you…"

"It's ok Edward me and Bella are going to be great friends" she said smiling I looked at Edward who was undoubtledly embarressed closed his eyes and shook his head

"O this is Jasper"

"Hello Bella"

"Hi"

"Why don't you sit down Bella" Esme asked

"We've actually got studiying to do" said Edward who was desperatly trying to get rid of his family

"It's ok Edward" Alice said "You'll have plenty of time to study together" she smiled at me

Edward sighed and jestured me to take a seat in the living room

"So Bella how old are you" asked Emmett

"17" I replied

"Have you got any brothers or sisters?" Carlisle asked smiling from behind the counter next to Emmett

"No, but Seth is like a brother to me"

"O, we thought Seth was your boyfriend" Alice said "That's what all the…"

"Alice" Edward sighed frustarted

"No, it's ok, I don't really get on with people at my school, the girls exspacially"

"Why?" Jasper asked

I shrugged "I'm not sure, it's just there whole attitudes, the girls are always complaining because one time all the boys wanted me to go to this prom, and the boys are waaaay to hormaonal for my liking"

Jasper chuckled

"So Bella who are your parents?" Esme asked coming to sit next to me

"Em, my dad's always busy he's away at the moment and my mom…isn't with us anymore"

"O I'm sorry dear" she gently grabbed my hand she looked starngly at me then I remembered the heat of my skin "Are you alright, your terribly warm"

"I'm fine, I always get like this"

"Sorry?" Roslie asked for the first time addressing me

"I'm a little unwell"

"Do you want me to take you home" Edward asked, almost pleading

"No that's ok"

Dinner was lovely I hadn't actually eaten like that in a while. Edward had humilated me by telling eveyone what I told him before about my childhood fantasies of being a monstor

"When did you start to adopt" I asked Carlsile and Esme

"Well Edward was the first, we adopted him when he was…10, then Roslie, then Emmett and Alice and Jasper" she smiled

"Huh, so would you be able to tell me off stories of Edward" I could see Esme's eyes bright up

"O yes I have loads"

"Esme" Edward warned

"Shush Edward, this is your first girlfriend ever and I'm not going to pass the opportunity, right well when he was little Edward used to have two bears that his orginal mother anf father gave him. When they passed unfortunailty we adopted him and he wanted to keep the toys"

"O for the love of god" Edward said putting his head in his hands comping through his routes

"He still has them to this day"

"Really"

"Right that's it me and Bella are going to study, come on Bella" he practically picked me up from the seat dragging me away fromhis family

"Nice to meet you all"

"And you Bella"

I hadn't stopped laughing al the way upo the stairs finally we got to his room.

"Can I see them?"

"What?" he asked confused

"Your Bears"

he looked at me stuned

"Your joking right?" he said

"No are you going to show me them?"

"No" he said walking over to his bed

"Hmm I wounder where they are" I said tapping my finger on my chin

"Don't even try it Bella" Edward growled

I skidded my self below the bed and saw them I grabbed them before Edward had chance to drag me out by my legs

"Awww, they are so cute" I stroked the first one which was like a butter cream colour, and the second was a furry one, it's colour was a light brown.

"So soft" I whispered I looke dtowards Edward who was currently sitting in his seat with his head in his hands

"Edward" I got up from the floor and looked to him "What's up" I asked I sat down next to me, I still had the bears inmy hands he looked at them he smiled

"I remember when they bought me these" he stroked both of their ears "I saw them and immeditly wanted them, It was my 3rd birthday, my parents bought me them and asked me to them them" he gestured towards the lighter brown bear "This was named after my father, Edward sr, and this one, was my mother Elizebeth Masen" I saw Edward was getting a bit sentimental so I asked if he wanted to put them back

"No it's fine" he grabbed both of them and set them down on the chair kissing both of their heads I smiled

"Sorry you think I'm mad don't you" he chuckled

"No, I in fact have a hourse bag which I used to carry everywhere with me, ive still got it to this day, just can't seem to let it go" I shrugged, I had never told anyone that before, not even my father, he thought it was islly keeping childish things. He held my hand I intwined them we both looked at our hands

"So. I'm your girlfriend" I chuckled he smiled "And your first one at that" I nugded him playfully

"Only if you want to be" he said looking at me seriuosly, I looked down Edward was a vampire, it was his kind who killed my defenless mother in cold blood, but I was falling for him "You don't have to answer now love" he said that word love, it gave me that butterfly feeling in my stomach I hadn't felt in all my years.

"Sorry" I said biting my lip "I'm just unsure"

he shook his head "It's fine" he kissed my hand gently, sending me an electrical current through my body "Comeon we've got work to do" he stood us up and led us to the bed we lyied there, our hands still entwined while we rehearsed the play. I looked to his clock on the wall 12:00

"I better be going Edward, my dad is going to go mad"

He nodded and lead me downstairs, we walked towards my car he opened the door for me

"Same time tomarrow"

"We'll see it depends on what my dad says tonight" he nodded and I tip toed up to give him a lingering kiss on the cheek, he mirrored my moements

"Goddnight Edward" I whispered into his ear

"Sweet dreams Bella" he loosened his hand on my waist and helped me into my car.

I drove off knowing a couple of things, 1, Edward didn't know what I was 2. I knew I had to tell hjim the truth and soon and 3. I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
