Before I got up to my room though I had my favorite cheerleader join me in the elevator. "Bet you just love all that attention don't you?" she sneered. She had a name badge on – Tanya.

"Oh yes, I just love it when I almost get raped. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy" I said sarcastically whilst narrowing my eyes.

"Well if James had offered himself to me, I wouldn't have said no" She pouted and folded her arms across her chest angrily. Then I pointed to the badge. "I know blondes have a tendency to forget, well everything, but I would have thought you'd be able to remember your name at least." I sneered. Laughter erupted from me and she glared. I was having so much fun so I decided to torment her on her little bf Edward.

"You know it was Edward who saved me" I started; she went to slap me but as before I grabbed her wrist. "Yeah he pulled him off me, beat him up and carried me to my room. He even stayed the night there to make sure I was ok. Any time I got hot, he cooled me down." She screamed and went all flappy hands on me.

"NO HE DIDN'T" she yelled.

"Yes he did" I whispered back and she kicked my shin. I wasn't having that so I bent her arm back on her self before we stopped at the next floor. She ran out screaming. Drama queen.

I finally got to my bedroom and managed to try out the bath tub. I loved soaking in Jasmine bubble bath- it takes away my daily worries. When I got out I just fell straight into bed.

The night went quick. That night I dreamt of Edward Cullen. I dreamt that we were walking along a beach and he took me in his arms and we were kissing. It was great and fabulous. I woke up with a bang. Quite literally a bang. Something was knocking against my window. And then someone rushed into my room and pulled me out of my bed. Edward. What the hell?! "No time to explain Bella" he pulled me out of my room and out of the front door, which I found busted in. Good job I had put on cotton t-shirt and shorts. We went down the stairs, and into the main area. Alice and Rosalie were still upstairs though! I had to go back to get them. "Edward Alice and Rosalie are still up there" I said as he refused to stop running. We were now outside going to the car park. And what the hell was that on my window.

"No they're not. When I came in I told them to run and meet us somewhere. They're safe" he said but my energy was leaving me and I was starting to drag behind because I didn't have the strength to carry on. He noticed this, stopped and carried me bridal position to his car. I was stunned when I saw it – an Aston Martine Vanquish in a dark blue. "Get in" he commanded, so I jumped into the passenger seat. "MY LAMBORGHINI!" I cried, but he just pulled out of the lot quickly and drove out of the school grounds. When we were just outside the perimeter, Edward sped up and we were doing 150mph.

"Edward! What the hell is going on?!" I shouted. He pinched the bridge of his nose, turned to face me and he looked scared. For a man, a player, as tough and great as him, something with me made him scared. "James" he spit "is after you. He came back to get what he didn't the first time. When he wants something he'll do anything and I mean anything to get it" he spluttered. I was in fear. I never thought that James would take such a hit to his ego. Well, one thing was for sure, this was the one prize he'd never win. And oddly, with Edward here beside me, I felt safe. But that wasn't all – it was like a weird humming or buzzing I felt. Edward drove into the dark, both of us saying nothing. I fell asleep in his car, because when I finally woke up we were passing through Forks. He obviously hadn't slept all night, and he was slowing down, so the only conclusion I could come up with is that we were going to be stopping here. The sat nav I hadn't noticed before was guiding him down a road that led to La Push. When we crossed the border it said you have reached your destination. I got out the car and ran to the beach. Edward soon caught up with me and just ran along side me. He didn't ask where I was going. When I got to the beach I saw my gang and my school gang. I ran to the La Push guys and was embraced forcefully.When they let me go, I was embraced also by my new friends.

After getting everything out of the way I turned to them all and asked the questions that had been bugging me in the car. They all spilled out at once. "Why is James obsessed? Why did we have to run? What have you guys got to do with it? Why am I here?" everyone had grim looks on there faces, and Jake patted the space next to him. I went to sit next to him and he put his arm over my shoulder. Emmet was the only one to answer my questions though.

"Bell, James is always obsessed with what he wants. And he won't give up. His daddy is very rich and doesn't ask a lot of questions, so he had free reign to do what he wants, or needs to, to get what he wants. The police and the school can't do anything to stop him. That was him climbing through your window – Edward told us when he rang us" he answered my questioning look. I shivered and Jasper came to sit the other side of me and put his arm around my waist. "We think of you as family. We've gotten to know you and we don't want you harmed, James can get pretty dangerous when he wants." Jasper finished "Yeah and your like family to us Bells" the LPG (La Push Gang) agreed "Once, a few years back, he raped a girl and ended up killing her. The police didn't bat an eyelid because he paid them off. He also paid the school to not expel him." Emmet continued. "So there is only one way to stop him. None of us like the idea, and we won't unless we have to, but we're gonna keep you safe." Em said quietly. I was reduced to tears. Everyone then hoarded around to try and comfort me. Edward came and crouched in front of me. "What are you in this plan? What makes you care?" I asked trying to scathe, but failing. I was in awe because they'd do this for me. He grimaced and shrugged.

"I know James. And I caught him at what he was doing before the rest. I don't want to know that someone was raped when I could have stopped it." He said nonchalantly "No, I mean you could have told me to drive away, why did you come here." I persisted. He turned red and asked what the others were doing. It should have been obvious but it wasn't. They wanted me safe. Seth interrupted. "Well since he won't be here for a while, why don't we do something?" I wiped my tears. "What do you suggest little man" I said he stood up looking shocked in a playfully evil way. "Oh no you didn't, fugly!" he said in a girl's voice and clicked his fingers in a 'Z' motion. I stood up opposite him, and I used his voice "Say that again to my face bitch." I moved my head to the side. The LPG all laid back and settled in ready. The others quickly grasped what was happening. Seth came up to my face really close and said "I said oh no you didn't, fugly" and he did the voice and clicked. We stared each other down and took 5 paces back.

"We say, we say, I say, you say, I say, you say, we say, go!" we both chanted and I jumped up at Seth's advance. He was quick, so I was over his shoulder. All the guys were amused at this – not for long. I pulled myself down Seth's back and rolled up to a standing position. I threw punches at his chest, but he blocked them. We swapped and he went on the offensive. I blocked them all flawlessly and then high kicked him. He grabbed his chin, so I took that time to tackle him. I grasped both of his hands and the LPG chanted "We say, we say, I say, you say, I say, you say, we say, stop!" and I stood up victorious. "Whose next?" I jeered motioning my fingers as 'bring it on'. Jake and Quil got up so Seth and I sat down. The chanting started and the battle commenced. Jake won that one and Sam followed to lose to Embry. Jazz and Em wanted to know the rules and Chants to our wrestling matched. We taught them the chants and the rules-which were pretty simple:

To win you have to sit on the opponent for the length of the chant

To start you have to chant

No scratching, gouging, biting, or kidney/mister jabs. A particularly nasty accident occurred to Quil whilst fighting, so that rule had to be included.

If at anytime someone yells stop, they give up the match.

When they had every thing, Emmet went against Alice. She was fast and strong for something so small. She was the winner and Emmet was not happy about that, but laughed it up like a good sport. Rose and Jasper had a go, and even though Rose had the anger, Jazz had the strength. I stood up when they finished and remembered Edward hadn't been. "Fancy a go? Come on what's the worst that could happen" I taunted lightly. He agreed casually, and suddenly bets went up on who would win. Jasper, Embry, Jake and Rose betted on Edward, while Alice, Quil, Seth, Emmet and Sam betted on me. We started chanting and after that were finished; we just walked around in a circle, psyching the other out. I lunged and missed and was on my back, with Edward holding my hands above my head. I wrapped my leg around his and rolled him over putting my arm against his throat and cocked my eye brow at him. The chanted started and in a burst of energy he pushed me off. I backward rolled to standing and he came at me but missed, I ducked and he fell over me. He was on his front and I had his hands secured in a vice grip, whilst standing on his ankles, so he couldn't move. Then the boys yelled something, that had only happened to me once "Water rule" I laughed at them and the Cullen's (hales are included as Cullen's) looked confused.

I put my right arm under the front of Edwards's throat and wrapped my legs around his. I rolled down the beach to the water. This new tactic of mine was getting wolf whistles from the crowd. I rolled him until I got to the water, then I just pushed him in before he could get up. I ran back to where the crowd was and the LPG told Edward to tag me. Traitors. I ran for my life but he was quicker he got me and tug me. I slapped his arm. Then I set about the LPG because they made Edward win by default. "What's the water rule?" Jasper asked me. "The water rule: if someone yells water rule before the by standers stop chanting, then they have to get the other person into the water and run back to the group. If they get tug by the person who was in the water, then they lose. They don't like me winning so; they use this rule to try to make me lose. You only won by default" I accused Edward. He laughed and went to sit at the back on a log of drift wood. I was aware of the rest of the night, of him watching me. He didn't participate much, as he looked really tired.

We lit a fire and roasted a pig – I don't know where Quil got it, but it was delicious. While the Cullen's were chatting among themselves, me and Sam were setting up a game of knock ball. This is where there are two lines about 60m apart. There was a ball in the center, and you had to get it to the other side. But everyone had to knock there opponents down, to get the ball to the other side. It was like American foot ball, accept on a smaller court and you could go in the sea to get around the opponents. Sam and I played rock, paper, scissors for it and he won, so he could either have pick of players first or first ball. He choose first ball. "Hey Cullen's you in?" Sam yelled. "What you playing" they yelled back, "Knock ball" and suddenly all of the LPG stood up. We explained the rules and they all said they would play, except Rosalie, who, quote 'didn't want to get sand in her hair' un quote. That made even numbers.

(Plain= Bella's picking) (Bold = Sam's)

Emmet

Jake

Embry

Quil

Jasper

Alice

Seth

Edward

The ball was placed in the middle of the line while we had a group discussion. "Ok, now Emmet you take Jake, Jasper you take Seth, Embry you take Alice and Seth you take Edward. Remember, do as much damage as possible, there are no rules in this game." I said smiling. Emmet laughed and cracked his fists. If I hadn't have known him to be the giant teddy bear that he was, I'd have thought it quite menacing. We all lined up and crouched ready for the off. "Hey wait a minuet, the other team might not have coupled up the same as us" Emmet exclaimed I laughed at him and he got it – it was made it more interesting when you didn't know who was going for whom.

Rose called time and we lunged for the ball. Sam got it so I tackled him down and threw it to Emmet. I elbowed Sam in the gut and ran after Emmet; Edward was going for him so he threw the ball to me. I threw it to Seth as I was tackled by Alice. I heard Rosalie cackling away. She got it and ran away form us, but Embry got her and again I had the ball. I saw everyone else tackled on the floor so it only left Edward and me in the open. I darted forward to him, and then went sideways to the sea. I ran down an old pier that was there and dived in. he dived after me, but Jasper had gotten out form Sam then so I lobbed the ball at him – I had a pretty far throw when I needed it. I was suddenly aware that Edward was holding my waist and dragging me away from shore. He ran his nose behind my ear and whispered seductively "I couldn't possibly let you go back to the beach in those wet clothes. They are far to alluring. Your many boyfriends will try to mount you. Being the gentleman that I am, I would find that far too unacceptable." He was making me tingle all over. I turned around and went into his ear. He was far too happy and this was obviously the response he wanted. Then I heard Seth cheer. We had won the point. I whispered just as seductively "But they can't start with out us" and with that I swam away. I turned to see him following and I spoke normally for the next bit "And they aren't my boyfriends, or lovers, or anything like that." He looked confused. Good. "What ever gave you that impression?" I asked looking innocent.

When we got back to land Jasper hoisted me over his shoulder and took me to the line. "Too slow" Emmet complained when I got there. I laughed and this time changed the pairings. "Ok Emmet, you for Sam, Jasper you for Alice, Seth you for Quil, Embry, you for Jake, and Edwards mine." I saw Jasper and Emmet share a nudge. "Care to announce it to the group?" they shook there heads and Rose called time. This time Seth got the ball. I decided not to even go for the ball, just Edward. I rammed into him, and kept him down for the whole game. We rolled on top of each other the entire time, trying to have the upper hand, but when everyone was down, and the ball was being gripped by an angry Alice. I kneed Edward in his misters and jumped on her back as she got up. I choke holded her and threw the ball to Jasper. He ran to the line and again we got the point. The final score turned out to be 5-3 to us. Our team shared the victory dance and the losers had to sit on each others laps for 10minuets. You could see Edward in pain for the next 15 minuets as he was on the bottom – he now knew the pain all too well. I apologized later and he forgave me- naturally. It was hilarious as Alice was on the top, and Jazz wasn't happy with her being there. Before I knew what was happening, Edward was out of the pile and had me curled against his chest, so I couldn't get out. He ran with me to the peer and was going to throw me in. No one tried to stop him – thanks guys – when he playfully scorned me. "This is for possibly ruining my sex life" I laughed at him most blatantly at him and then he dropped me.

I had lived on the beach for the past beach, and went swimming every day. He expected me to pop back up, but I held my breath and went deep. I stayed holding on to the leg of the pier, and the water around me had a disturbance. Edward had jumped in after me. I stayed behind the leg, but he saw me. He grabbed my hand and dragged me back up. I refused to go, and in the process let out all of my air. My wrist was still receiving shocks from his touch. My bubbles of air didn't go unnoticed; he forcefully swam me back to the surface. He then towed me back to the sure. "Bella, are you alright?" I nodded and he scooped me up and took me back to the group, they were rolling on the floor. "Couldn't resist seeing Bella with wet clothes could you Edward?" Jake laughed. Edward glared at him and put me down. "So what are the sleeping arrangements for tonight?" I asked the LPG. They didn't really know. "Well how about we sleep here, tide won't come this far, and we can keep the fire well stocked" Embry suggested. I knuckled touched with him and everyone agreed. Jake, Sam and Embry went to get blankets and quilts. Someone mentioned bringing the gazebo in case it rained.

"Hey Seeeeettthhhhh" I whined using my little girls voice. "Beeeellllllaaaaaaa" he dragged out, "How's Leah's salsa? Is she hotter than me?" the Cullen's suddenly perked up at this, not hearing the full convocation. There were faces of shock, amazement and laughter. He shook his head, "It's getting close" I cussed. "I bet mines still hotter."

"What's this?" Alice asked coming to sit next to me. "Well, before I left me and Jake would enter yearly competitions for dancing in Port Angeles. I had a pretty hot salsa and tango but when I left Jake paired up with Leah, Seth's sister, and apparently her dancing is getting a good as mine" I pouted. "Ooooo, I know! We could settle it with a dance off!" Alice yelped. "We could couple up and have one big dance off. A panel of judges could see which the two hottest couples are, and then it's a dance until you drop scenario." She was really exited by this. "Ok, I like that, Seth call Leah, and tell Jake to bring my red dancing dress." At that Seth and Quil let out a low whistle. I answered the amused looks "It's a short, sexy red dress that it connected to a leotard, and I look fabulous in it." I said the last but with over emphasis. They all laughed. Edward's eyes seemed to sparkle at this.

"But who am I going to go with? I mean rose you've got Em, Ali you have Jazz, so who am I with." They all looked around themselves. "Edward can do a pretty good salsa" Emmet piped up. I raised my eyebrows at him. He shrugged. "I guess." I got up and grabbed his hand. I did a small move and he worked with it effortlessly. I did a slightly bigger one and again he joined effortless. I looked surprised. "Well then partner, it looks like we have a competition to win" I said winking. He smiled back and I went and started talking to Quil. However I dropped my phone for him. it was open on a very particular page.
