Thank you for the few reviews I did get. I'm not complaining but if my writing is substandard please tell me and I will get help. Well Vita is up and a couple new chapters to Extraordinary as well as Stolen. I had a person telling me they couldn't read Extraordinary anymore because my writing was so bad. So if anyone else feels that way please tell me because I am only writing as good as a fourteen year old can. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I write this story for you readers so as a writer it is my duty to you to write the best I can to curb your interests. Thank you for listening to my rant. Here is Chapter Three.
God Bless,
Kara

Bella's POV
I woke up to snores from Evan and Seth. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and glanced around the room.
My clock read early morning. I looked out the window that was directly to my left. The sun was shining softly painting the sky with the pinks and purples of early morning covering what would soon be a dark, cloudy sky. The woods behind our house looked just as mysterious as always.
I pulled my covers back and set my feet on the freezing hardwood floor. I quietly hopped off the bed and walked out the door to start breakfast.
When I reached the kitchen Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee reading the newspaper.
"Hey Dad" I said in a whisper.
Charlie looked up and smiled at me.
"Do you want me to make you anything for breakfast?" I asked.
Charlie stood up. "That's okay Bells. I have to go up to base today. What do you plan to do today?"
"I plan to get some food for this house." I chuckled.
"Well good luck" Charlie said as he kissed my forehead. He grabbed his keys and headed for the door.
"Bye Dad" I said over my shoulder as I turned to start breakfast. I heard the door close and I was alone.
I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed my Ipod while the sausage was defrosting.
I put the earbuds in and turned on Decode by Paramore. While on my way back down I landed a cart wheel down the hallway. Then took off down the stairs the rest of the way.
I made pancakes with the last of the mix. Eggs with the last eggs in the carton. And sausage with surprisingly not the last package. After I had set the table I stuck the food in the oven to keep it warm. I decided to go for a jog.
I ran upstairs to find my family still asleep. I crawled into the bedroom I was staying in and pulled out black sweatpants, a white sports bra, and a gray/blue t-shirt with no sleeves that had the sides ripped down to the bottom hem.
I pulled on my tennis shoes, left a note for my brothers, and left the house. I turned on my workout playlist and BarlowGirl's How can we be Silent flooded my ears.
I ran out of the driveway at a slow pace for myself. I listened to the music flow through the list I created as I ran around the familiar neighborhood. I glanced down at my Ipod for a moment to see how long I had been running.
When I reached where the main road intersects with the subdivision I was knocked to the ground. I looked up to see who was hovering over me. I was met with Edward Cullen.
Edward's POV
I woke up this morning to Alice bouncing around talking about the arrival of Jasper's sister with Rose.
They were drinking a protein shake for breakfast at the breakfast bar, and I shook my head at their expense. Two girls couldn't have better figures, yet they still felt the need to diet. Well I guess Bella looked like she had a good figure. I couldn't really see with her in Emmett's arms. I shook my head to release my now constant thoughts of Bella.
"Did you hear that Edward?" Alice asked looking at me confused since she claimed I had been distracted last night.
"No sorry Alice. What were you asking about?" I asked urging her to get this over with so I could go for my morning run.
"I said, Did you hear that Jazz and Em's little sister got in last night?" Alice asked in annoyance.
"Yes I did. I actually got to meet her." I answered and Alice and Rose's jaws dropped.
"And?" they uttered at the same time.
"Pretty girl" I mused and with that I ran out of my family's large white house.
I ran past the entrance to the secluded road along the high way and took off to see what the Swan family was doing this morning.
I ran the half mile to the entranced of their subdivision. I saw a girl with mahogany hair running just in front of me. It looked like she was changing the song on her Ipod since her head was down. Let me just say that this girl looked HOT when she was sweating slightly.
Then I decided to be ungraceful for the first time in my life. I tripped over a crack in the cement and landed on Bella. Thankfully we had landed on grass. I stayed on top of her and stared down. Bella was beautiful even when she was sweating. Her pale skin was glossed over with a little sweat and it made me want to kiss her.
Bella looked up. I started to lean down and then I felt her hands at my shoulders. I mistook her intentions and continued to lean down until her amazingly strong, small arms shoved me off of her. I landed on the grass next to her. I looked over and saw some blood running down her shoulder blade. Bella was gasping for air then I realized that I had put my full weight on her small body.
I loved the way her small body felt under mine. I couldn't wait to try and nail down the new girl.
WAIT. Blood. I frantically turned on my side and looked at Bella who was gasping for air and seemed unaware of the blood.
"Bella you're bleeding" I said as I tried to make eye contact with her.
Bella's head snapped up at me. A glare was ever present in her gaze. "I wonder why" she snapped at me.
I stood up and offered Bella my hand. Bella just glared at it and got up without the help of my hand. She started started to run back towards her house.
It took me a minute to figure out what just happened. But once I got it I ran after her, catching up in no time.
"Bella that cut is going to get infected" I said easily looking to see if she realized this.
"Yes I get that much" Bella whispered. I saw her cringe and looked at the cut. There was fringe from her shirt sticking in the cut. Then I got a good look at what she was wearing.
Black sweats that looked like they were rolled at the waist. A white sports bra that emphasized how perfect she was shaped. And a guys muscle shirt with ripped sides and no sleeves. I gulped at the sight.
I noticed we were near her house. I let Bella get ahead of me a little so I could look at her wound.
There was a trail of blood running from the top of her shoulder to midway down her back. It looked like it spread out into little veins in a few places, though those places didn't seem to be bleeding.
The Swan's house came in view. The blood had soaked through the shirt making it cling to her back. Finally the gentleman in me couldn't take it anymore. I scooped Bella up and dashed the rest of the way to her house.
"Edward put me down" Bella said scared. She was scared I was going to drop her. I reached the threshold and kicked the door lightly.
Jasper answered and took one look at Bella and pulled me in the house.
Jasper pulled me into the kitchen where all the Swan brothers watched me enter holding their youngest member. I walked over and set Bella on the island where I turned her back to me so I could examine the cut. I guess growing up with a doctor for a dad came in handy every once in awhile.
I ran my hand over the cut and heard chairs grinding on the floor behind me.
Bella started to scoot forward on the counter and Seth ran around and held her still. As much as I would love to touch her. I don't think I want to do it with her brothers around.
"Bella hold still. Edward's dad is a doctor. He somewhat knows what he's doing" Evan said walking to stand next to Seth to help restrain Bella.
"Yeah well congratulations to him. I can take care of myself." Bella hissed as I pulled the fringe out of the pool of blood. "Besides I'm not taking my bra off for him so he can fix the whole cut. So I suggest you let me down and I will take care of my cut. Thank you very much."
Bella pushed Seth and Evan out of her way and walked into the bathroom.
I turned to the guys. "Sorry about that" I apologized.
"Don't worry about it. There isn't much that we can do about Bella but we'll talk to her" Emmett said as he eyed the bathroom.
"No I caused the cut" I said.
"What? How? Bella didn't trip over air and knock you flat on your back?" Emmett asked his head snapping back to me. I could see that Emmett was the most over protective of Bella's brothers.
"We were both jogging and Bella was changing the song on her Ipod or something. Then I tripped while I was right around her and fell on top of her. I don't know how she got the cut because we landed on grass." I explained quickly.
"Which shoulder blade?" Connor asked as if he remembered something.
"Uh right I think" I said after a moment of thought.
"Ah" the guys said as their heads nodded. It seemed that they were alright with Bella's outburst.
Jasper pointed to the bathroom where Bella had disappeared to and Seth ran in and slipped in the door between opening and closing it faster than I thought possible.
"What's up with her shoulder?" I asked carefully.
The guys just waved my question off. Another question to add to the list of my millions.
Bella's POV
I slid in the bathroom and closed the door behind myself before letting my sobs go. I refused to think to deep about the accident.
I slid my shirt off, not like it actually covered anything. Then my sports bra came off next. I turned my back to the mirror and looked over my shoulder at the glass to see the purply, bluey, green scar that branched out all along the right side of my back.
There was a knock on the door and I grabbed a towel to cover the front of my body.
Seth slipped in the bathroom and locked the door behind himself. I looked up through teary eyes to meet his apologetic smile.
He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around me sure not to touch the cut that was leaking blood. "Lets get you bandaged up" Seth murmured in my ear.
I nodded and held the towel up so that it covered my front. I heard cabinet doors opening and then Seth sighed.
His footsteps walked towards the door. The lock unbolted and Seth called out to the guys, "Can someone run up and get more gauze?" Then I heard feet running up the stairs.
A minute later the door swung open again. Seth returned with more gauze and tape. He turned me and sat me on the bathroom counter. He bandaged my back and left me alone to get dressed again.
I slipped my bra and shirt back on gingerly and stepped out of the bathroom. Edward had left and my brothers were finishing breakfast.
"Thanks for breakfast kid" Emmett said as he messed up my hair.
"You're welcome" I said as I turned and jumped on the island next to Connor, who wrapped an arm around my shoulder, which I leaned into.
"I was thinking I would clean up the kitchen and then go to the store to get food. Does anyone want to come with me?" I asked.
"I don't think that would be a good idea to have us all go" Collin chuckled at the table.
"Fine then you don't get to pick out your own snacks" I said as I hopped off the countertop.
"Jazz, Seth, Connor and I will go" Emmett said from behind me.
I ran and gave him a hug. "Thank you Emmett" I whispered in his ear.
After he released me I ran upstairs to change.
When I reached my room myy laptop was blinking again as I connected the link to the video chat. Once up Jessie appeared on the screen.
"Hey girl. It seems I was just in time. Lets find you something to wear." Jessie started.
"How about I get something and you tell me how horrible my fashion sense is then I'll disconnect and we'll all be happy" I laughed liking my plan better.
"Fine" Jessie whined knowing she wasn't going to win from Massachusetts.
"Good girl" I laughed as I walked over to my drawers.
I pulled out black stone washed jeans, a midnight blue cotton spaghetti strap tank top, and a cropped black jean jacket. "Good?" I asked.
"I can see I was wearing off on you" Jessie said as I changed. "Now put on eye liner, mascara, and blush."
"Fine. Jess I gotta go. We'll talk later" I said as I shut the laptop screen. I proceeded to put the makeup on that Jessie advised and walked out ready to face the day.
